CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104: NIRVANA EVOLUTION

"Put everything away, and later I’ll transfer the points and cultivation funds to your Space Bracelet," Li Wen said with a smile.

Chu Chen clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much."

"No need to be so polite. Work hard to improve your strength. That’s the best reward you can give us. If you have any issues in the future, you can contact me directly."

"Yes, I understand. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now." With that, Chu Chen hurried away.

As Li Wen watched Chu Chen’s departing figure, she murmured to herself, "I hope you don’t let us down."

Although Chu Chen didn’t hear Li Wen’s words, he felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders as he received so many resources.

After leaving the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, Chu Chen went straight to the Beastmaster Association.

Instead of directly purchasing the evolution materials needed for Nirvana, Chu Chen first took out the unused Star Treasures from his Space Belt to sell.

The selling price within the association was slightly lower than outside, but it was much safer here.

Given Chu Chen’s current wealth, he didn’t mind the few thousand Alliance Coins he might lose, so he naturally wouldn’t take unnecessary risks.

The young staff member stared at the Star Treasures piled on the counter, his eyes full of surprise.

"Are you sure you want to sell all of these Star Treasures, sir?" the staff member asked somewhat uncertainly.

Chu Chen smiled and replied, "Of course."

The staff member’s face lit up with surprise upon hearing this. He quickly took out an appraisal instrument and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, I’ll appraise them for you."

Chu Chen nodded and smiled, "No rush."

The staff member was quite efficient, completing the appraisal in just a few minutes.

He brought the appraisal instrument over to Chu Chen and said with a smile, "Here is the quote for each type of Star Treasure. Please check if there’s any issue."

Chu Chen quickly took the instrument, checked it over, and then nodded in satisfaction, "No problem."

"The total value of the Star Treasures you’re selling is 2.7 million. I’ll transfer the funds now."

"Wait a second, I have a list of materials here, deduct the cost from that."

"Alright, please wait a moment." With that, the staff member hurried away.

There was a reason for the staff member’s respectful attitude toward Chu Chen.

The transaction amount this time was over 3 million. As the staff handling it, he could earn a 1% commission.

Just by serving Chu Chen this once, he could earn 30,000 Alliance Coins, so naturally, he wanted to provide some emotional value in return.

About fifteen minutes later, the staff member rushed back, carrying a wooden tray filled with materials needed for Nirvana’s evolution.

With the transaction complete, the young staff member smiled and said, "Dear guest, my name is Ning Yan. The association offers home services to certain special guests as well. This is our contact number. If you need anything in the future, you can call this number directly."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile. Although he noticed the staff’s small ulterior motive, as it posed no loss to him but saved a lot of time, he had no reason not to go along.

After saving the contact information, Chu Chen headed to the first floor.

Here, spending some money allows one to rent a laboratory.

Chu Chen planned to brew the Evolution Potion for Nirvana here.

The formula detailed how to brew the Evolution Potion, and it was very simple. As long as the temperature was controlled accurately, failure was nearly impossible in a lab setting.

Chu Chen spent ten thousand Alliance Coins to rent the lab for half a day.

He was not familiar with the lab equipment, and only after the staff’s introduction did he understand how to use them.

The types of equipment he used were not many, and the learning process took him less than fifteen minutes.

After closing the door, Chu Chen took out all the materials and divided them according to their melting point temperatures.

Quickly, five piles of evolution materials appeared in front of him.

Next came the heating process. With the help of the instruments, Chu Chen controlled the temperature with great precision.

Watching the materials gradually melt, Chu Chen’s gaze was full of excitement.

Soon after, some of the materials completely melted, and the liquids began to meld, eventually forming a muddy green potion.

As time went on, the potion became denser, and its color deepened further.

Looking at the time, according to the formula, the Evolution Potion would be complete in another five minutes. This made Chu Chen momentarily feel that becoming a Breeder might be a worthwhile pursuit.

But he quickly dismissed that thought.

Whether it would be possible in the future to exchange Evolution Formulas for other Guardian Beasts was still unknown. Even if it were possible, he dared not use it recklessly.

This matter was not urgent; he could consider it when he had enough Slaughter Value. For now, improving his strength was the top priority.

If one day he could stand at the pinnacle of the world, it wouldn’t matter even if he revealed the secrets of the Slaughter Atlas.

But for now, a cautious approach to development was necessary.

As Chu Chen’s thoughts drifted, the Evolution Potion was finally completed.

The rich aroma of the potion filled the entire lab. With just a few breaths, Chu Chen felt an increase in pure Star Power within him.

Without delay, he quickly took out a porcelain bottle and poured the potion into it.

After securing the bottle, Chu Chen was in no hurry to leave. The potion’s brewing took only two hours, leaving three or four hours before the rental period ended.

The lab was extremely quiet, with no interruptions, and the Star Power present was quite strong, well-suited for Nirvana’s evolution.

Chu Chen summoned Nirvana and handed the Evolution Potion to it.

"This is the Evolution Potion. It can make you stronger. But the evolution process requires enduring immense pain, so be mentally prepared," Chu Chen said in a grave tone, shaking the potion in his hand.

Nirvana nodded firmly upon hearing the words, and its eyes gleamed with intense desire as it gazed at the potion.

Seeing this, Chu Chen understood Nirvana’s resolve. It had been abandoned initially due to its poor quality, unable to break through to the War General Level for a long time.

Now, with a chance to improve its quality, it was naturally extremely eager.

Without hesitation, Chu Chen uncorked the bottle and poured the muddy green Evolution Potion into Nirvana’s mouth.

After Nirvana consumed the potion, it lay on the ground quietly waiting.

Soon, a powerful wave of Star Power emanated from Nirvana.

This Star Power was extremely frenzied, constantly charging through Nirvana’s body. While causing damage, it also provided healing, repeatedly hammering Nirvana like a smith forging a weapon.

Remarkably, Nirvana didn’t make a sound in such a situation. Its insect legs clutched firmly onto the ground, and its enormous Ao Clamps constantly opened and closed.

It seemed to be using this method to vent its pain.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows. The pain brought by evolution had exceeded his expectations. If the Guardian Beast’s will wasn’t firm, it could result in a failed evolution, causing injury to the Guardian Beast or even leaving psychological scars.

Squatting beside Nirvana, Chu Chen softly reassured it, "Nirvana, hang in there. I know you can do it. Don’t worry, I’ll be here with you the whole time."

Upon hearing Chu Chen’s words, Nirvana opened its eyes and glanced at him, as if his words brought it strength.

At this moment, its gaze was full of determination.
