Chapter 373 - 219: Hatching the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon

Chapter 373: Chapter 219: Hatching the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon

After its investigation, the Soul-Controlling Flower gave Zhong Yi a definitive answer.

Approximately 3,000 milliliters of Flowing Soul Soil would be needed to restore the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon’s egg to a healthy state.

Then, once someone formed a Contract with it, the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon would be able to hatch.

Once he had confirmed the situation, Zhong Yi smiled and said to Star Night,

"I really can restore this Dragon Egg to health, to the point where it can hatch."

"However, it will take some time for the egg to hatch."

"Star Night, you’ll need to leave this Dragon Egg with me for the next three months."

"After three months, the egg should be ready to hatch!"

Hearing Zhong Yi’s words, Star Night was certain that the hope welling up inside him was not misplaced.

The joy on his face became even harder to conceal.

"Xiaoyi, if you can restore the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon’s egg to a healthy state and allow me to form a Contract with it..."

"I will owe you a massive favor!"

"You..."

Before Star Night could finish, Zhong Yi cut him off.

"Star Night, ever since I became a Guardian Beast Master, I’ve been constantly receiving help from the Celestial Destiny Seekers of Starlight City."

"You’ve always been the pillar supporting my growth and that of all the other Celestial Destiny Seekers in Starlight City. If we’re talking about owing favors, we’re the ones who owe you."

Star Night gave the earnest-looking Zhong Yi a long look, then smiled warmly.

"In that case, Xiaoyi, I’ll thank you in advance."

"I’ve truly sacrificed so much for this Eternal Night Feathered Dragon egg over the past few decades."

"Please, don’t rush. Don’t let helping me hatch this Eternal Night Feathered Dragon egg affect your own growth."

Zhong Yi carefully placed the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon egg into his Storage Pouch, then said,

"Star Night, after you form a Contract with this Eternal Night Feathered Dragon, you’ll need a large quantity of Dark Attribute Materials to raise it."

"You can start preparing those materials now."

At the Soul-Controlling Flower’s current production rate, it would only take a little over a month to generate 3,000 milliliters of Flowing Soul Soil.

The reason Zhong Yi told Star Night it would take three months wasn’t to make him think that restoring the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon’s egg was an incredibly arduous task.

As the egg’s owner, Star Night knew its condition better than anyone.

Zhong Yi was essentially doing for Star Night what Star Night himself could not.

The real reason Zhong Yi needed three months was to ensure he had enough Flowing Soul Soil to strengthen his own Guardian Beasts before he started restoring the dragon egg.

Zhong Yi was currently in a period of rapid growth, and he always prioritized increasing his own strength.

Star Night could clearly sense the confidence in Zhong Yi’s words.

Star Night felt an immense sense of relief. After so many years, he had never given up on this Eternal Night Feathered Dragon egg.

’And in the end, it’s Zhong Yi who’s helping me fulfill this long-cherished dream!’

’Right now, the Dragon Emperor is probably still stronger than I am.’

’But once I form a Contract with the Eternal Night Feathered Dragon, my strength will definitely surpass his.’

’I’ll become the true number one in the Xin Xia Federation!’

It wasn’t that Star Night cared about power rankings within the Xin Xia Federation. It was just that, in his eyes, many of the Dragon Emperor’s ideas were far too rigid.

If he wanted to bring about change in the Xin Xia Federation, it would only be possible if his strength surpassed the Dragon Emperor’s.

Thirty years ago, Longya City was still a Heroic City in the Xin Xia Federation, easily ranking among the top five.

But now, Longya City had declined so much it couldn’t even break into the top fifteen.

Although no one dared to say it openly, this was undoubtedly related to the Dragon Emperor.

There was nothing wrong with being a bit domineering. Star Night himself was extremely domineering toward outsiders.

But being domineering didn’t mean insisting that everything go your way, refusing to listen to a single word from anyone else.

The Sleep Emperor had insisted on promoting the fusion of Bizarre creatures and Guardian Beast Masters.

After pushing the initiative for over a decade, he finally made progress upon reaching the level of the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.

This was undoubtedly a compromise the Dragon Emperor made after acknowledging the Sleep Emperor’s strength.

’Once my strength surpasses the Dragon Emperor’s, he’ll have to compromise with me on many decisions, no matter how stubborn he is.’

Before leaving, Zhong Yi made a point to tell Star Night that he was planning to invite the Flower Venerable for a short stay in Starlight City.

He was the one who had introduced the Flower Venerable to Zhong Yi, so he wasn’t at all surprised by how close their relationship had become.

The Flower Venerable had a cold exterior but a warm heart, and she valued gratitude above all else.

Zhong Yi had not only healed the Flower Venerable’s injuries but had also helped her sister through her Fifth Nirvana.

Knowing the Flower Venerable’s character, she had probably already come to see Zhong Yi as a younger brother.

"Xiaoyi, if you can invite the Flower Venerable to Starlight City, I can use the opportunity to handle some affairs while she holds down the fort."

Zhong Yi’s trip to the Star Frost Tower had been incredibly fruitful.

Once Xian Zhe told the other members of the Tower of the Code that he had a Six-finger Creator in his faction, Zhong Yi would officially become the eighth page of the Tower of the Code.

Then, Zhong Yi wouldn’t need to ask others for help; he could leverage his own status to trade for some extremely rare materials.

And Zhong Yi happened to have the very assets needed to trade with these experts from the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.

The Longevity Empress Bee had finally finished modifying its nest and was now showing signs of laying Insect Eggs.

A while ago, Tao En had helped Zhong Yi find numerous flower-type Guardian Beasts of the Healing Element.

Zhong Yi had already used high-quality soil processed by the Florist Worms to plant these Healing Element flower-type Guardian Beasts in his Soul Base.

Once the Insect Eggs laid by the Longevity Empress Bee hatched, the worker bees could immediately start collecting nectar to produce Longevity Insect Honey.

Longevity Insect Honey, a material capable of extending one’s lifespan, was priced at around twelve Divine Origin Value points per bead in the Divine Origin Store.

Even the experts from the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, who were in their prime, would likely want to collect some of this material just in case.

Upon returning to his residence, Zhong Yi immediately used a Signal Cicada to contact the Flower Venerable.

The moment Zhong Yi contacted her through the Signal Cicada, the Flower Venerable responded.

"Xiaoyi, if you hadn’t contacted me today, I was planning on telling you something tonight."

"I’ll be leaving the Xin Xia Federation for a while."

Listening through the Signal Cicada, Zhong Yi could clearly sense the Flower Venerable’s tone from the device’s simulation.

Her mood was clearly quite somber.

’The Flower Venerable’s main goal right now is to make a push for the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations,’ Zhong Yi thought to himself. ’For her, nothing is more important than that.’

’To increase her strength as quickly as possible, she had even left her own sister in Starlight City instead of staying by Ren Suxin’s side.’

The Dragon’s Roost Continent had been in chaos ever since the Shuojin Federation and the Mirage Sea Federation went to war.

It wasn’t a good time for the Flower Venerable to leave the Xin Xia Federation—not for the Federation, and not for herself.

Zhong Yi remembered the Flower Venerable saying a couple of days ago that she was going to meet with two Six-finger Creators she had an appointment with to concoct a Potion.

At the time, since the Flower Venerable had said the appointment was already set, Zhong Yi hadn’t said anything more.

’Could it be that things didn’t go smoothly?’

Before Zhong Yi could ask why she was leaving the Xin Xia Federation, he heard the Flower Venerable complain through the Signal Cicada,

"The Dragon Emperor is so tyrannical!"

"He knew full well that I had an appointment with those two Creators set a year and a half ago, yet he insisted on booking those two Six-finger Creators to strengthen his Guardian Beasts immediately."

"I have some connections with a Six-finger Creator in the Thunder Abyss Federation, so I’m preparing to make a trip there."

"Without a Sixth Level Potion, my Order Beast will have a hard time achieving a breakthrough with just Fifth Level Potions."

Zhong Yi could clearly sense the Flower Venerable’s resentment and helplessness.

Zhong Yi hadn’t expected that the Six-finger Creators the Flower Venerable had booked would be snatched away by the Dragon Emperor!

Whatever his reasons, the Dragon Emperor’s actions were truly dishonorable.

Not counting Tao En, there were a total of six Six-finger Creators in the Xin Xia Federation.

Among these six, two were loyal followers of the Dragon Emperor.

The ones the Flower Venerable had booked must have been those two.
