Seeing that Ye Zan had made up his mind to go down the mountain, Mo Ru and Wu Changsheng couldn't persuade him any more. They couldn't imprison Ye Zan on the mountain. The two of them could only angrily turn their attention to Liu Qian who was aside. If Liu Qian hadn't gone to Ye Zan to tell Ye Zan about the Alchemy Conference, how could they be in such a difficult situation.
Liu Qian felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the two of them. He smiled awkwardly and said, "You two don't have to worry too much. The Alchemy Conference is not a place for fighting and killing. It is also good for Elder Ye to go and see it." ”
Mo Ru glared at Liu Qian fiercely, turned to Ye Zan and said: "Junior brother, you want to go down the mountain to the Alchemy Conference. It seems that I can't persuade you, but this time you must take Qianjun with you. Otherwise, I won’t agree to anything.”
"That's right, no problem. The kid has been lying down for so many years, so he should go out for a walk." Ye Zan responded happily. After all, it would be too much of a waste to keep Qi Qianjun waiting outside for more than two years while in Tiandao Mountain. But this time we were going to the Alchemy Conference, so it wasn’t a big deal to hang out together.
Not long after, Qi Qianjun, who received a call from Mo Rushi, rushed over, carrying the sword box of the green-robed Taoist on his back.
"Can't you put this thing away?" After Qi Qianjun saw the gift, Ye Zan looked at the sword box behind him and asked.
It would be nice if the sword box had a good-looking shape, but it looked pitch black and there were no patterns on it, as if it was carrying a huge piece of black coal. Qi Qianjun was originally considered a talented person, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown jewel, but with this sword box on his back, his image was drastically reduced.
Hearing Ye Zan's question, Qi Qianjun scratched his head and said with some helplessness: "Uncle Master is laughing at me. There is indeed no way to receive this sword box into the Qiankun Ring, so I can only carry it like this."
"Let's do this. When we come back from the Alchemy Conference, I'll find a way to repair this thing for you, at least to make it look more pleasing to the eye." Ye Zan shook his head and said, quite disgusted with the sword box. In fact, this was one of the reasons why he only took the red leather gourd instead of the sword box.
"Thank you so much, uncle." Qi Qianjun said with his hands in hand.
Finally, Ye Zan and his party descended the mountain.
But this time, Ye Zan did not use the shuttle to rush, but rode a tall horse. The shuttle could only carry two people, not to mention being blocked by Mo Ru. Liu Qian also brought two disciples, so a total of five people could only ride horses.
This horse is not an ordinary horse. It has a very cool name called Snow-Treading Fire Qilin. It has a fiery red body but white hooves. However, this Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin only has a little bit of monster blood in its body. Although it is much stronger than ordinary horses in all aspects, in the world of cultivation, it is actually only the lowest mount.
This is why Yuqing Zongkuo, except for construction and other expenses, has some surplus, so he bought some such mounts. If it were in the past, when Ye Zan and Li Yun went down the mountain, they would still be riding what the world calls a thousand-mile horse.
Riding on the back of this snow-walking unicorn, Ye Zan couldn't help but start thinking again. The mode of transportation in this world seems to mainly rely on so-called mounts, and flying swords are actually not the majority. Flying with a sword in the air also consumes mana. Even a master of Jindan would definitely not be able to bear it if he flew a hundred thousand miles in one go.
Therefore, most practitioners still like to raise a special mount, and most of them tame monsters and use them as mounts. In particular, if this mount has certain strength, it may be a helper in any situation.
Of course, this also has to consider the issue of domestication. Not all monsters are suitable for domestication into mounts. To put it simply, monsters with high intelligence are relatively strong, but most of them are unwilling to be used as mounts for others. If they are not well tamed, they will easily be backlashed. Although those with low intelligence are easy to tame, practitioners often look down upon them.
Therefore, good mounts are actually rare. For example, the crane and the nine-colored deer are even called spiritual beasts due to their high intelligence and gentle temperament. They are very popular mounts among practitioners. However, the number of these two spiritual beasts is very small, which is equivalent to the top sports car in the earth era, and not everyone is qualified to own it.
In addition to spiritual beasts such as cranes and nine-color deer, most of the mounts are mainly horses. However, horses also have levels. For example, a dragon horse with dragon blood is definitely a top mount, no less than a crane and a nine-color deer. The grade of a horse actually depends on its bloodline. On the one hand, it is the source of the bloodline, and on the other hand, it is the thickness of the bloodline.
Speaking of which, this horse is really loved by all kinds of monsters and beasts, so much so that there are horses with various bloodlines. Like this snow-stepping fire unicorn, it is said that there is a trace of fire unicorn blood, but of course it is so weak that it is almost gone.
However, in Ye Zan's opinion, it seems that in this world, the genetic compatibility of horses is really large enough, and genes from all species can be mixed into it. Ye Zan remembered that in another dimension, he had brought a biological gene bank with him, which contained the genes of various strange creatures in the interstellar space.
So, can you use this genetic technology to create a special mount yourself? Ye Zan was riding on the horse, and his mind had already ordered the mastermind in the different dimension space to start research in this area.
Although this snow and fire unicorn is the lowest mount in the cultivation world, it is still capable of traveling thousands of miles in a day. Ye Zan and his party were not in a hurry. They traveled eighteen hundred miles in one day and came across a secular town and settled in it.
That night, Ye Zan took a tube of blood from the Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin and sent it into another dimension.
In this way, the group of people walked for another ten days, and Ye Zan also drew ten tubes of blood from the Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin for study. So much so that later on, when the Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin saw Ye Zan, he couldn't help but step back, his big eyes full of fear.
"Uncle Master, what did you do to it?" Qi Qianjun noticed this situation and asked strangely.
"Why did you ask me to do something to it? I just drew some blood." Ye Zan said, taking out two syringes, both of which were filled with light red liquid, and then said: "Look at it, Then it’s time to witness the miracle.”
That snow-stepping fire unicorn, no matter where it could hide, Ye Zan finally stabbed it with two syringes.
As the liquid in the syringe was slowly pushed in by Ye Zan, the restless Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin gradually calmed down. But then, its body began to tremble, and its mood became violent again. It kept stepping on the ground and shaking its head, and even wanted to bite Ye Zan next to it.
"Uncle Master?" Qi Qianjun was a little worried. After all, this snow-walking fire unicorn is not cheap.
"Just wait and see." Ye Zan said without looking back. He pulled out the empty syringe and put his hand on the horse's back. A ray of true energy entered the horse's body through the palm of his hand.
Following Ye Zan's movements, the Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin no longer trembled, but it still showed some uneasiness. Then I saw that its body began to change, its hair fell off piece by piece, and layers of keratinized things appeared on its skin, which looked like scales but were much larger than scales, and the pieces looked like armor.
Just over an hour later, this snow-walking fire unicorn has completely changed its appearance. It is taller and its limbs are much stronger than before. At the same time, its body seemed to be covered with armor, except for the long mane left behind its head and neck, which looked quite ferocious as if burning flames.
"Uncle Master, what is this?" Qi Qianjun asked from the side.
At the same time, Liu Qian and his two disciples also gathered over, looking curiously at the completely unfamiliar Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin.
However, after seeing the changes in this snow-walking fire unicorn, Ye Zan shook his head in disappointment and said: "It has changed its bloodline, but unfortunately it can only grow to this extent. After all, its foundation is too poor. Otherwise, it will easily collapse.”
Ye Zan added the genes of two interstellar creatures to the Snow Fire Qilin. That bone armor-like thing is the characteristic of an interstellar creature. Don't underestimate that armor. The interstellar creature back then could withstand small missiles with its bone armor. Another type of gene strengthens and transforms its internal organs, making its internal organs more resilient and capable of automatic recovery.
Now, this snow-walking fire unicorn is only undergoing preliminary changes. Under the influence of the genetic medicine, it will slowly further improve in all aspects of its body.
"Let's go," Ye Zan fed the Snow-Stepping Fire Qilin a few pills, got on his horse and said to a few people.
As they walked, Qi Qianjun and others had a more obvious feeling that Ye Zan's mount had indeed become much stronger. Especially in order to test the speed of his mount, Ye Zan let go of his mount and let it run. In a blink of an eye, he left Qi Qianjun and others far behind. Qi Qianjun had no choice but to hand over his mount to Liu Qian and the others, and he directly used his sword to fly into the air before catching up.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast you run, you are still running on the ground. If you want to be fast, you still have to fly into the sky! Ye Zan stopped his horse and waited for Liu Qian and the others to catch up, still thinking about the problem of his mount.
For Ye Zan, the mount is not only a means of transportation, but also has a very strong combat power like those top mounts. And these, even if this snow-walking fire unicorn has been modified, it is far from meeting the requirements.
In the different-dimensional space, various equipment in the laboratory are busy, and various genetic samples from the gene bank are constantly being sent to the laboratory.
"Wait a minute, why is there such a thing in this gene bank!" Ye Zan had been watching the experiments in the different dimensions through the auxiliary chip, and was suddenly frightened by one of the gene samples.
The label on this genetic sample says it is from planet SNIS-651, a giant rodent genetic sample. Moreover, the master brain's records also have the same name, including descriptions, which are all about this kind of insect that is not surprising.
However, after the genetic sample was put into the analyzer, Ye Zan discovered that it was actually a Zerg genetic sample. The Zerg are not bugs. Although they look like bugs, they are actually an extinct interstellar intelligent race. (To be continued.)
