The Glazed Dragon Egg has already developed its shell, proving it is about to be successfully nurtured. Ye Bai bit his lip, beads of sweat as large as beans trickling down his forehead; it was quite tricky, consuming a great amount of mental power. This surgery essentially aimed to create a balance between the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon and the Glazed Dragon Egg. A day and a night passed. The dishes on the table had gone cold and reheated, reheated and gone cold again, as Big Gray quietly placed the freshly prepared dishes down. As soon as it stepped out the door, it ran into Master Jiang. "Ye Bai is still racking his brains over there, right?" "Haha, back in the day, I used to rack my brains like that too." "For the sake of surgery, going without food and water, vowing to overcome it." "Your name is Big Gray, right?" "Do you know why I let Ye Bai come into contact with surgery so early?" "Although my lifespan has been extended, the curse has not been broken." "This is the lifeline of our faction." "Your body may look normal on the outside, but you were once cursed by the Death God." Master Jiang’s words caused Big Gray’s pupils to constrict sharply. "You needn’t worry, I am Ye Bai’s mentor, I won’t harm you." "I am only helping you analyze the problem, that’s all." "You might wonder how I know all this." "Because I too was once cursed by the Death God." "I just had better luck, my mentor exchanged his life to save mine." "You managed to break free from the shackles of the curse by being reborn through adversity." "But the one who cursed you will surely keep seeking you." "Only if Ye Bai keeps getting stronger, expanding his connections, and receiving protection from the top, can he be qualified to protect you." After saying this, Master Jiang leisurely walked away. Big Gray sat on the ground, feeling dejected, as Master Jiang’s words had heavily impacted it. It knew that even if its strength increased to Tier Five, it still wouldn’t be a match for the Death God. At that moment, the pocket watch often hanging around Big Gray’s neck fell with a clatter. A string of music played from the pocket watch. The pocket watch gradually opened, revealing photos of Ye Bai, itself, and the entire Cultivation House inside. Seeing the familiar smiles in the photos, Big Gray perked up. Indeed, if Ye Bai could work hard for everyone, why couldn’t it do the same? Big Gray now had the thought to become stronger, considering that if it could break through to becoming a Tier Six Pet Beast, it might be able to deal with the Death God. Big Gray, you shouldn’t be so downcast, you’re meant to become a king’s man. It immediately rolled up from the ground and dashed to the training ground. Here, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm and the Dragon-slaying Sword were engaged in mutual combat. The Space Pelican was also relaxing with closed eyes, emitting strands of silver-white light; Big Gray knew it was cultivating. So Big Gray sat down cross-legged, exuding terrifying Thunder Light. It planned to enhance itself through this method. The next day, Ye Bai finally had some ideas, now he needed some materials. He needed to go to the materials vault in advance to find treasures that could heal the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. But before that, he still took a look at the intel. He discovered that as long as he paid special attention to something, the system would display related information. [1. The Tier Seven Exotic Beast Cold Ice Glaze Dragon is in a very serious condition, and to save its child, it did not hesitate to transfer the Power of Origin to the Glazed Dragon Egg. The Dragon Pearl is covered with cracks, and if it shatters, it will severely injure the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, possibly fatally.] [2. Ten-thousand-year ice can temporarily help stabilize the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s injuries and absorb some Ice Origin.] [3. The Dragon Blood Fruit can stimulate the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s Dragon Bloodline, and the Dragon God Stone can help the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon restore its Dragon Origin.] [4. The nectar of the Sunflower Emperor combined with the Life Crystal Dew can maintain the vitality of the Glazed Dragon Egg and promote the healing of cracks in the egg. The higher the rank of the Sunflower Emperor, the faster the Glazed Dragon Egg repairs.] [5. The Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s bones need to be repaired with a treasure called Mermaid’s Tears, otherwise, once the bones heal, the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon will occasionally suffer the pain of bone fractures.] These five pieces of intel were indeed about the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. Ye Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed the condition of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon was unclear, there must be many hidden injuries. This was extremely unfavorable for Ye Bai; the best solution was to observe the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon for a few days. But Ye Bai knew this was not possible, as the inspection report of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon showed it was already dying. It seemed it couldn’t be tormented further. "If that’s the case, there must be other hidden dangers in the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s body." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 "I’ll have to wait until I see the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon for specifics." "For now, I need to go check the warehouse and see if there are any treasures that can help heal the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon." Ye Bai gently called into the air for the Paperman. Ripples appeared in the air. Countless sheets of white paper gathered together, and the figure of the Paperman began to emerge. She held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, with hair like a waterfall pinned up with a hairpin, wearing a white cheongsam, exposing arms like White Jade. "Paperman, I’d like to go to the warehouse to see if there are any suitable materials." "I need you to inform the master for me." Anbao Hall has a warehouse specifically for storing treasures. However, for Ye Bai to take out treasures from the warehouse, he must get the consent of the Paperman, or else he would be attacked by the guardian Paperman clone. "Master Jiang has already authorized me, this time you can decide on what treasures you need at any time." "We will multiply the consumed materials by three times and give them to the Dragon Pillar." This is why top-notch healers are expensive. Only someone as wealthy as the Dragon Pillar could possibly afford this expense. Hopefully, when the Dragon Pillar receives the bill, they won’t hesitate. "Rest assured, no one dares to default on our bill. They and their Pet Beasts all face birth, aging, illness, and death, all needing us." The Paperman lightly laughed, covering her face with a fan. The Paperman led Ye Bai to a storeroom, where many paperman soldiers and paperman horses floated around, patrolling the warehouse perimeter. After the Paperman brought Ye Bai in, the paperman soldiers made way. The warehouse perimeter had three layers of restrictions, forming a one-person passage as the Paperman approached. "The warehouse is huge, about the size of a small island. Many items have been inherited by our genre, and we also collect patient treatment fees." "Just tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you." The Paperman directly unfolded a sheet of white paper. The white paper formed the shape of a computer in mid-air. "I need a Dragon God Stone, Mermaid’s Tears, Dragon Blood Fruit, ten-thousand-year ice, Ice God Fruit, and ten-thousand-year stalactite." Upon hearing the raw materials list Ye Bai mentioned, the Paperman hesitated for a moment; these items are not cheap at all. Moreover, they become fewer with each use. "Ye Bai, these treasures are quite expensive and very rare; are you sure you need them?" The Paperman asked with a somewhat odd expression. "I’m sure, take all these things out, they’re essential for healing the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon." The Paperman silently mourned for the Dragon Pillar; these items are rare treasures, and each one costs a fortune. If they multiply the cost by three at a greedy rate, it could be enough to bankrupt the Dragon Pillar, possibly even forcing them to sell themselves. The Paperman silently lit a candle for the Dragon Pillar. She could already imagine the expression on the Dragon Pillar’s face when they saw that astronomical bill. The Paperman imagined the Dragon Pillar clinging to Master Jiang’s leg, begging for mercy because of the hefty bill. But Ye Bai was Master Jiang’s successor, the next in line, after all, so the Paperman lit a candle for the Dragon Pillar. "Don’t worry; no one dares to shirk our bill; they and their Pet Beasts face aging and sickness, hence they will always need us." The Paperman led Ye Bai to a storeroom filled with floating paper soldiers. The paper soldiers made a pathway for them as they approached. The warehouse perimeter had three layers of restrictions, which activated when approached by the Paper Puppet. "Our sect has passed down many things through generations, and we also require patients to pay for treatments." "Let me know what you need, and I’ll find it for you." The Paper Puppet unfolded a sheet of white paper in mid-air, forming the shape of a computer. "I need a Dragon God Stone, Mermaid’s Tears, Dragon Blood Fruit, ten-thousand-year ice, Ice God Fruit, and ten-thousand-year stalactite." After the Paperman heard the list of raw materials that Ye Bai stated, her hands froze instantly; those things are not cheap indeed. And each item seemed to be irreplaceable. "I’m sure, bring them all out, please. I need them for treating the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon."
