CHAPTER 131: CHAPTER 131: PREPARATIONS BEFORE EVOLUTION

The training of the two beasts will have to rely solely on Chu Chen himself, meaning no one will be able to notice the changes in them.

Therefore, Chu Chen is preparing for the next step of his plan, which is to enhance the quality of Lei Yao and Nirvana to the Excellence Level.

Currently, Chu Chen’s Slaughter Value reaches over sixteen thousand points, the highest balance so far.

Without any hesitation, Chu Chen directly summoned the Slaughter Atlas and began exchanging for the Evolution Formula.

There are a total of twenty types of Evolution Formulas to upgrade Lei Yao to the Excellence Level.

Chu Chen carefully examined them and found many formulas would alter his positioning of Lei Yao.

For example, the Excellence Quality Gale Ape, this Evolution Formula directly removes all the beast and thunder dual attributes of Lei Yao, turning it into a single Wind Attribute, and transforming Lei Yao from a Strong Attack Guardian Beast into an Agile Attack Guardian Beast.

This isn’t the worst, after the attribute change, all skills previously learned by Lei Yao will become obsolete. The newly added Wind Element skills would need to be relearned, its talent in Beast Soul Power and Thunder Ape Secret Technique would also be nullified.

Choosing this Evolution Formula would mean even if Lei Yao’s quality is enhanced to Excellence Level, its actual power would plummet.

Such a foolish choice is something Chu Chen would naturally avoid.

After a moment, Chu Chen discovered there is only one Evolution Formula that meets his requirements, and that is Thunder Ape King.

This evolution direction neither added nor removed attributes, but it retained the original attributes, simply enhancing Lei Yao’s quality by one level.

Furthermore, everything Lei Yao learned can still be used, with no changes to its talent and secret techniques.

Exchanging for the Thunder Ape King’s Evolution Formula requires consumption of two thousand Slaughter Value.

Without any hesitation, Chu Chen directly chose to exchange.

He didn’t rush to check the materials needed for the formula, but instead started exchanging for Nirvana’s Evolution Formula.

Its Evolution Formula has only eighteen types, similar to Lei Yao’s situation, either having deviations in attributes or changes in positioning.

Chu Chen did not hesitate and directly chose the advanced type Wood Ant King, requiring the same two thousand Slaughter Value for the exchange.

Chu Chen organized the materials required for the two evolution formulas.

The quantity of materials amounts to eighty-two types. Fortunately, most of these materials are relatively common, and their prices are not very high.

Chu Chen directly sent the list of required materials to Ning Yan.

Soon Ning Yan called in.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, this time the items you are purchasing are quite numerous. I’ve just checked and found there are several materials temporarily short on the association’s side, but I’ve already sourced them through other channels, though the price has a slight fluctuation, approximately an extra thirty thousand Alliance Coins," Ning Yan said with a smile.

Chu Chen laughed and replied, "You don’t have to be so polite, after our initial cooperation, you can just call me Chu Chen in the future. How much Alliance Coin in total for all these materials?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Yan showed a look of joy and quickly responded, "These materials require a total of 4.37 million Alliance Coins."

Chu Chen displayed a calm expression and said, "Deliver them to the Cyan Dragon Daoist School shortly."

"Alright, I’ll be there soon."

After hanging up the call, Chu Chen couldn’t help but flash a cold smile. Whether Ning Yan’s words are true or false isn’t known; a mere thirty thousand Alliance Coins isn’t of concern to him now. If he discovers any intentional deception, he simply has to report it to the association, ensuring that the other party pays dearly.

As Chu Chen was about to leave, he was stopped by Kong Lingxue.

"Son, don’t leave the city for the next period."

Chu Chen nodded and replied, "Understood, mom, is it because the Beast Tide is approaching?"

"Yes, your father will be staying in the army camp for a while, probably won’t be back until the Beast Tide is over," Mrs. Chu said worriedly.

"Don’t worry too much, mom, the Beast Tide happens every year, and we’ve made it through each time. I’m sure it will be the same this time," Chu Chen comforted with a smile.

"Let’s hope so. Alright, go ahead with your tasks."

Upon leaving the house, Chu Chen headed straight for the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

Ning Yan worked efficiently, already waiting at the entrance when Chu Chen arrived at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

Upon seeing Chu Chen, Ning Yan hurriedly dragged over a suitcase.

"Mr. Chu, you’re here." Ning Yan greeted with a smile.

"Was slightly delayed due to some affairs, sorry to keep you waiting."

"You’re too kind. Here are the materials you need, please check them." Ning Yan opened the suitcase as he said this.

Chu Chen nodded and then bent to examine them.

During the inspection, Ning Yan kindly pointed out several materials sourced from elsewhere and provided the purchasing receipts.

Chu Chen took a brief glance and continued his inspection without looking closely.

It seems he overthought previously; the other party works seriously and is a good partner for collaboration.

After verifying the materials, Chu Chen settled the payment, then stored the suitcase into his Space Belt.

Ning Yan displayed an expression of envy at Chu Chen’s Space Belt.

Chu Chen noticed and said with a smile, "Thanks for this time."

"You’re too courteous, feel free to come to me if needed in the future."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Chen entered the Daoist School.

Zhu Wan was already waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Chu Chen arrive, she hurried forward.

"According to your request, I’ve prepared the laboratory and cultivation room for you," Zhu Wan said respectfully.

Chu Chen nodded and replied, "I’ve told you many times, you can call me Chu Chen in the future."

Zhu Wan blushed and said, "I dare not; if Manager Li knows, he’ll deduct my wages."

Hearing this, Chu Chen was speechless for a moment and waved his hand, "Lead the way."

Upon this, Zhu Wan hastily led the way ahead.

Soon, they arrived at the laboratory, which was equipped with more advanced facilities than the association. Under the staff’s guidance, Chu Chen began crafting the Evolution Potions for the two Guardian Beasts.

The crafting process was similar to before, but Chu Chen couldn’t afford any carelessness, concentrating on controlling the temperature because his funds were exhausted. If the crafting fails, he wouldn’t have the money to buy the materials for a second attempt.

As time passed, Lei Yao’s Evolution Potion was finally crafted.

The potion was blue and white, with flickers of electricity inside, appearing quite magical.

Shortly thereafter, Nirvana’s Evolution Potion was also successfully crafted.

Chu Chen holding the two vials of potions couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The potion crafting took nearly three hours.

Upon leaving the laboratory, Chu Chen found Zhu Wan still waiting at the entrance.

"No need to wait for me in the future; I’ll contact you when needed," Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Ah! Manager Li will deduct my wages."

"Uh... lead me to the cultivation room, then."

After securing the cultivation room’s door, Chu Chen directly summoned the two beasts.

Chu Chen shook the potions in his hand and said with a smile, "These are the Evolution Potions crafted for you. Mentally prepare yourselves, we’ll begin the evolution soon."
