Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 382: Chapter 378: The Boundless Sea of Learning

Bai Qi’s eyes flickered with realization as he looked at the introduction about the Bright Spirit Gold.

The Death Lock came from the Zhonghu Dojo, which was established by some Western Clans. The Bright Spirit Gold, too, was a special product of the western region. The source of the Death Lock was self-evident.

However, the forces behind the Death Round Table now seemed more obvious.

“They’re humans, but they’re mixed up with ferocious beasts. No wonder our teachers are so worn out.

Bai Qi sighed. If he could discover this connection, so could his teachers. However, no action had been taken so far, probably because the specific target had not been identified yet.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this chain?”

Yi Xiaowei was somewhat curious. The metal that made this chain was very interesting. Even though it was metal, it seemed to be alive, devouring the surrounding matter for self-repair and growth.

Even Yi Xiaowei, who had been in the Holy Relic Tower since childhood, had never seen anything similar to this kind of metal.

But looking at Bai Qi, this metal seemed to come from a unique origin?

“I’m not sure if there’s a problem yet, but it’s definitely something worth studying.”

Bai Qi nodded. The Death Lock now appeared to be deliberately delivered by the Zhonghu Consortium. Such a deliberate act made people wonder what underlying intentions were present.

However, if they didn’t consider that, and could replicate this metal, it might have unexpected effects the next time they encountered the Death Knight.

With the endless material science, it was possible to develop a targeted plan.

Well, by that time, the Thirteenth Bureau may have already researched it.

“I see…”

Yi Xiaowei glanced at the Death Metal on the side, hesitating for a while, and then asked, “Bai Qi, can you leave some of this metal for me to study?”

“I have no problem with it, but this thing is quite dangerous. You’d better be careful.”

After thinking for a while, Bai Qi agreed to Yi Xiaowei’s request.

Although the attribute of Death Metal was close to the Power of Death, and it could even devour the Power of Death to evolve, its threat was not as horrific as the Power of Death. Otherwise, Bai Heguang wouldn’t allow Bai Qi to keep some for himself.

However, considering this thing might be related to the Death Round Table, Bai Qi still had to give a warning.

“Don’t worry, I’m a professional in this.”

Yi Xiaowei grinned and then hurriedly went with Bai Qi to pick up the Light Elf’s Heart and those Epic materials. Then he rushed back to his room to start his research.

Hearing Yi Xiaowei’s response, Bai Qi couldn’t help but recall the first time he met Yi Xiaowei.

“I’m regretting this a bit now. He isn’t going to do some dangerous experiments, is he?”

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qi didn’t stop Yi Xiaowei.

If it were somewhere else, that would be one thing. Here it was the Holy Relic Tower, where people who tinker with curious and rare objects were commonplace. According to Yi Xiaowei’s description, Xiang Li might be researching this Death Metal now.

“Forget it, let’s go to the Tower of Knowledge.”

Bai Qi took another glance at Yi Xiaowei, who was deeply engrossed in researching Death Metal, and walked toward the Tower of Knowledge.

Compared to Death Metal, Bai Qi was more interested in the Alchemy Curse Mark.

The special metal that carried the Power of Death, the Alchemy Curse Mark that could accommodate Spirit Power and souls — if he could simultaneously research both, he might be able to replicate the Death Knight.

He found this thought fascinating.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi quickened his pace and arrived at the entrance of the Tower of Knowledge in no time.

By this time, the entrance of the Tower of Knowledge was already packed with students. Those who were unable to exchange their points for Mythical resources had almost all given up on the Epic resources and swarmed to the Tower of Knowledge to spend their points.

Compared to Epic materials available in the future, formulas for evolution, the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook, and some hard-to-acquire information externally were evidently more valuable.

“It seems like I’ve come at a bad time…”

Looking at the students who were stuck choosing evolution formulas, Bai Qi, who had never used a formula before, expressed his lack of comprehension. He expertly avoided the crowd and approached the library.

“Let’s see if there is any alchemy information.”

Entering the library, Bai Qi was familiar with the operations on the stone tablet. He quickly found what he was looking for.

“There it is!”

Bai Qi grinned, about to teleport, only to find that the area where the Alchemy information was located was dim and non-responsive to teleportation.

“Insufficient authority?”

Bai Qi felt a headache. Although he had guessed it earlier, he was surprised that even after joining the Tower of Decision, he still couldn’t read the books on alchemy. He wondered what the Truth Empire had done in the past to make people so incensed.

Whoosh~

Just then, a figure appeared abruptly in front of Bai Qi, startling him.

“Lu Qing? Where did you come from?”

Bai Qi recognized the newcomer at a glance and was taken aback.

Could it be that because he had officially joined the Six Tower, even Lu Qing liked to fly around like this?

“The teacher sent me to deliver the token of identity for the Tower of Decision.”

“Identity Token?”

Bai Qi took a dark gold token engraved with the pictures of the Six Towers from Lu Qing, asking curiously, “I joined the Tower of Decision, why is it given by Master Lan?”

“The Identity Tokens for all Six Tower members are issued by the Tower of Knowledge, I was going to give it to you at the Tower of Competition just now, but then you ran off.”

Lu Qing adjusted his glasses and explained, “You can now teleport directly in and out of the Six Towers whenever your permissions allow, and most of the documentation in the archives will be accessible to you.”

Having said that, without waiting for Bai Qi’s response, Lu Qing vanished with a whoosh.

“So that’s how it is, I always wondered why I never saw members of the Six Towers around usually. Turns out they just teleport directly.”

Satisfied, Bai Qi nodded and pressed his identity token onto the control stone tablet.

In an instant, the individual darkened areas lit up one at a time, including the alchemy section, of course.

“I suddenly feel that being forced to join the Tower of Decision isn’t such a bad thing after all.”

Bai Qi grinned, then directly teleported in front of the bookshelf with alchemist works, pulling out a basic alchemy guide and started flipping through it.

…

“Transmuting attributes…equal exchange…understanding…deconstruction…reconstitution…makes sense.”

As he closed the book, Bai Qi’s eyes were full of admiration.

Alchemy, with the methods of today, was a special technique using Alchemy Curse Mark to reorganize elements of a substance and create another kind of substance.

However, the use of alchemy was not an ability that could be improvised freely; it had to follow the fundamental principle of equal exchange, and there was also an array of restrictions, some of which required the operator to pay a certain price.

That said, alchemy, being a form of runes, indeed had its unique characteristics.

“What could possibly lead to such an incredible technique to be forbidden?”

Bai Qi put the alchemy guide back to its original place. After searching a while, he finally found a book related to the history of the Truth Empire.

The existence of the Truth Empire was brief, yet it doubled the human territories, thanks to these alchemists. However, at the height of the Truth Empire, a scandal erupted that led to the downfall of the empire.

“They practiced on humans and ferocious beasts together? You’d have to be brain dead for a decade to come up with that.”

Bai Qi silently read the record in the book, expressing utter disdain.

According to the principle of equal exchange, practicing on humans and ferocious beasts together could result in a hybrid species.

However, compared to the powerful physique and soul of the ferocious beasts, humans probably wouldn’t even amount to a spare part, let alone gaining the power of ferocious beasts.

The Truth Empire to be ruined was justifiable.

After tidying up the book, Bai Qi smiled at the neatly arranged bookshelves in front of him.

“Another big project…”

…

A week later.

Bai Qiucha wore a bitter smile, looking at Bai Qi, who had developed two black eye circles from copying so many books, and tried to persuade him, “Actually, Bai Qi, you don’t have to copy all this information. It’s just a few days journey to Gusu City.”

“It’s fine, I just have these few books left.”

Bai Qi handed the books in his hands to Schuck for copying, then downed two gulps of fresh juice made from God Fruit. Only then did he recover.

Due to joining the Tower of Decision, the archives of the Tower of Knowledge had almost entirely opened up to him. Bai Qi didn’t waste this opportunity, and he had recorded almost everything related to alchemy. He also recorded lots of other things that he thought he might need — even things he might never use.

For example, “Beasts: Dining At The Cutting Edge” or “The Last Breakfast”…

Apart from picking the books he himself was interested in, he also copied all the books his five pet beasts were interested in, making him, a Fifth Stage Beastmaster, thoroughly exhausted.

After all, reading comfortably at home was always a better option than on the road, regardless of how advanced Federation’s technology was.

“Alright then.”

Bai Qiucha shook her head, “Since you’ve already sorted it out, do you want to go back with me to Gusu City?”

“Go back to Gusu City? I would, but I have to ask Nicholas if he’s ready.”

Bai Qi rubbed his eyes. Since Nicholas was going with him, the Green Dragon Secret Realm obviously couldn’t be left here. But as Old Lady Fan had mentioned, Nicholas hadn’t fully mastered the Green Dragon Secret Realm yet. Thus, Bai Qi wasn’t sure of when he could go back.

“I see…”

Bai Qiucha nodded and said, “Then I might need to leave first. The end of term is coming and the college needs me to represent the Undead Department.”

“Hmm, you go ahead. I might need some more time.”

Bai Qi stretched, assuming Nicholas hadn’t found a solution since he hadn’t come to find him. He was likely going to have to wait till Nicholas had solved everything before he could return to Gusu City.

But it was also a good thing. This way, he could peacefully enjoy reading without worrying about being bothered by President Qin or Duanmeng.

“Okay.”

Bai Qiucha nodded and turned to leave. Bai Qi once again dived back into the archives, intending to check for any books he might have missed.

The Tower of Knowledge had existed for thousands of years. Despite spending a week, Bai Qi could only pick out a few books that interested him. The countless books he hadn’t read were still overwhelming.

Knowledge, truly, is boundless…
