Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 598: Chapter 593: The Inheritor of Potions

Jie Ta’s enhanced state lasted a long time, and Li Lei’s head began to rise unconsciously.

Although their Li family wasn’t a big consortium, their potion-making skills were highly regarded in the Federation.

After all, no one would want to provoke a family that might be able to save your life.

But in front of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, this didn’t give them much of an advantage. Even though Bai Yan, and Luo Zhu were very polite to him, Li Lei always felt somewhat out of place with his Alchemy Group and the other groups.

Because of this, Li Lei was eager to show the Li family’s strength and value. Now, he finally succeeded.

“Master Li, how many of such potions do you have? Give me a few hundred first!”

Bai Qi bluntly stated his demand. Li Lei almost choked upon hearing this, he looked at Bai Qi and said, “Director Bai, this Berserk Elixir is not one of those mass-producible compounds. It needs careful manual blending.”

As he said this, a hint of pride appeared on Li Lei’s face. Li Shi, who was standing by, felt increasingly helpless and pulled Li Lei’s sleeve.

Her father was good at everything, except when it came to potions. His head would start to float, even forgetting that they had actively sought cooperation with the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

“Only manual blending? What a pity.”

Bai Qi appeared somewhat disappointed, “Then give me some Super God Evolution II. Um, give me a hundred of each kind.”

“Son, where are you planning to go on an adventure again?”

Luo Zhu’s ears twitched, vigilantly looking at Bai Qi.

“Nowhere. I am just preparing for self-protection.”

Bai Qi guiltily turned his head. He couldn’t possibly tell his mother that he was planning to go to the Twilight Tomb to clear dungeons, and get some potions for protection, could he?

“That’s good.”

Luo Zhu nodded, but her suspicious eyes kept watching Bai Qi, wanting to discern something.

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Li Lei’s face eased, “If Director Bai just wants it for self-protection, I can prepare some first. As for mass production, that will have to wait until we research more detailed proportions.”

“That would be helpful.”

Bai Qi gently nodded, although the amount was not large, as long as it was used at critical moments, the effect wasn’t bad.

Bang!

At this moment, a muffled noise attracted everyone’s attention.

“Jie Ta, what are you doing?”

Bai Qi looked at Jie Ta, who was sealing the icy potion bottle with a rock, somewhat puzzled.

Snore snore ~

(I am making the potion that I just drank~)

Jie Ta shook the potion bottle forcefully. There seemed to be some flames burning inside, he waited until the color of the potion began to change, then stopped.

Snore snore!

(Master, I succeeded!)

“You succeeded? Is this the Berserk Elixir?”

Bai Qi was stunned. He found it hard to believe, and Li Lei on the side felt even more ridiculous.

“Director Bai, your joke is not funny at all. Although advanced pets’ intelligence is not inferior to humans, there are some things they can’t do.”

As soon as Li Lei finished speaking, he realized something was off. He looked around and was suddenly shocked to find that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

“Dad, Bai Qi’s pet… is a bit special…”

Li Shi quietly pulled Li Lei, wanting to let him know something she had learned about Bai Qi’s pet. But Li Lei didn’t notice, he instead walked toward Jie Ta, determined to show Bai Qi how difficult it was to master an ancient technique.

“Master Bai Qi, your pet’s ability to control energy is good, the medicinal ingredients mix well, and there is also some Berserk Elixir… Wait a minute!”

Midway through his words, Li Lei discovered something abnormal. He picked up the potion bottle and carefully smelled it, tasted a little bit, and his face instantly changed.

“This… this is really a Berserk Elixir?!”

Hearing Li Lei’s exclamation, some alchemists brought from the Li family were shocked. But the researchers at the Super God Evolution Research Institute acted as if it was meant to be.

Everyone’s pets basically have part-time jobs in their institute, and their skills can be considered master class. Making a bottle of potion is nothing to be surprised about.

“It’s made already? Wasn’t it supposed to be difficult?”

Bai Qi was also somewhat shocked. Although he began to teach Jie Ta how to make potions long time ago, he didn’t usually need potions and gradually forgot about it.

Turns out Jie Ta could make a supposedly difficult potion just by drinking it once?

Snore snore?

(Difficult? I think it’s okay…)

Jie Ta looked at Bai Qi and others in confusion, then took the Berserk Elixir from Li Lei’s hand and gulped it down. After thinking about it, he didn’t feel satisfied and made another potion on the spot.

This time, Li Lei finally confirmed that Jie Ta could instantly make the potion that he had been researching for a long time. His face immediately turned ashen.

“What the hell, the picture has changed, this blow is huge!”

Bai Qi twitched at the sight, he wanted to comfort him, but didn’t know what to say.

“I knew it, you always shock people wherever you go.”

Just then, Professor Chu walked in through the door. Seeing the dispirited Li Lei, he couldn’t help but comfort him.

“Lei, your morale really needs improving. So what if a pet beast learned the method of making potions? It’s not such a big deal. You should know that half of the pranks at the Super God Evolution Research Institute can be credited to these little beasts.”

Hearing Professor Chu’s words, Li Lei had some doubts. But after listening to Chu’s explanations, he reluctantly believed.

“Director Bai, how many years has your pet beast been practicing potion making?”

Bai Qi scratched his head shyly and said, “Master Li, how about we change the topic?”

Li Lei was silent. He then ran to the workbench, made another potion, and handed it to Jie Ta. “Can you reproduce this?” he asked.

Ripple ripple?

Jie Ta took the potion bottle questioningly. After sniffing it, he drank it all in one gulp. He then went to the workbench, selected the materials Li Lei had used earlier, tossed them into an on-hand ice potion bottle, gave it a shake and a brand new potion was made.

Seeing this, Li Lei was not discouraged, but rather he radiated a powerful aura.

“Are you interested in learning potion making with me?”

“Learning alchemy? Sorry, I …”

Hearing Li Lei’s words, Bai Qi instinctively wanted to refuse.

He was already busy studying runes and mechanics, if he added alchemy to his schedule, he might as well give up sleeping.

Yet before Bai Qi finished rejecting, he saw Li Lei skip over him and walk straight to Jie Ta. “As long as you learn from me, I will teach you all the potion recipes we know!”

“Um, did I misunderstand?”

Bai Qi scratched his head, surprised by Li Lei’s decision.

The Li family had inherited many formulas for many years that were rare outside the family. And now, they were offering all of it up?

“Although handmade potions are powerful, they are a bit outdated in this era. Maybe Master Li doesn’t want to miss a chance to pass on his learning to a worthy individual.”

Bai Yan patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, his face flashing a trace of helplessness.

In a way, the biochemistry he studied was one of the reasons alchemy was slowly being replaced.

Conversely, chemical compounded potions that could be synthesized mechanically and handcrafted compounds had comparable medicinal properties. But the former had much greater production efficiency.

Because of this, some ancient heritages were slowly lost. Even the Li family had reached the point where they had to find new ways to continue.

“I see.”

Bai Qi understood. He looked at the conflicted Jie Ta and said, “Jie Ta, agree to Master Li.”

Ripple ripple?

(If I agreed, would I be able to drink more potions like that one just now?)

“Definitely.”

Bai Qi nodded, envisioning the scene of Jie Ta doping before a fight in his mind.

We’re taking off~

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s agreement, Li Lei became excited. He grabbed Jie Ta and headed off to his private lab, disregarding Bai Qi, the beast master.

“Then I’ll leave Jie Ta here for now, I’ll need to make a trip to the Gemini Tower first.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn’t find it strange. He said goodbye to his parents and headed towards the Gemini Tower.

The Twin Tower continued to operate as normal despite their departure. As the biggest materials processing base of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, the area before the Gemini Tower was bustling.

“Black and White, those ores are up to you.”

Bai Qi released Black and White from the Secret Realm and addressed them.

Black and White patted their chests confidently, “Don’t worry, I won’t waste the ores.”

“That’s good. Once I decipher the Law Emperor’s Insight, I’ll start designing the Secret Realm Tower.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. According to his teacher, the Secret Realm Tower was crucial for breaking through to Legend and for future development. Bai Qi naturally wouldn’t delay.

“Yes, building the Secret Realm Tower sooner is always better. At least we will have a chance to improve it over time.”

Black and White nodded, then seemed to remember something. “Judging from your current progress, you’re planning to use Alpha to break through to Legend, right?”

“Exactly, Alpha has made the most progress.”

Bai Qi asked, “Is there a problem?”

“There’s not a problem, per se. It’s just that I remembered there being some materials from the Shadow Department in the Twilight Tomb. If used to build the Secret Realm Tower, it might increase the chance of Alpha’s domain fusing with the tower.”

“Twilight Tomb? I understand.”

Bai Qi got it. He had initially planned to go to the Twilight Tomb to upgrade Alpha, and now he could go there along the way.

“Speaking of which, Black and White, do you really not remember anything about the Twilight Tomb?”

Bai Qi looked at Black and White, full of playful intent.

Black and White shook their heads, “Of course I don’t remember. I never went down there. I only know that the old Law Emperor got something out of there.”

“Oh well~”

Bai Qi sighed. He had to give up on the privilege of having a pre-prepared map and would have to find his own way.
