Chapter 059

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the motionless metal egg. "What, don't you like the name Iron Egg? Big Black and the Little Dots really like it."

Metal egg: "……"

It rolled again, seemingly struggling. Later, Bai Xiaoyu called out to it twice more. The silver metal egg slipped on the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

Bai Xiaoyu went forward to check on the metal egg. Since it was high-tech, a transparent vertical screen would pop up, displaying the report of the person inside the egg.

All the data was normal, with only a slight increase compared to a few hours ago—nothing to worry about. The only issue was the intense emotional fluctuations.

Bai Kan should have already felt the changes in his body during this time; the emotional fluctuations were understandable.

Bai Xiaoyu's mental power probed into the eggshell and quickly saw a large tiger drooping its head in the medicinal liquid. It seemed to sense Bai Xiaoyu's mental power and extended a paw weakly, waving at him.

Bai Xiaoyu's mental power thread reached out to poke the big paw, soon penetrating deep into the tiger's body, discovering that the internal temperature had noticeably risen and blood circulation had sped up.

This was the effect of the Blood Ignition Elixir, which would continuously deliver the external elixir and catalyst into the bloodstream, stimulating and strengthening bones and muscles.

The current situation was good. The front part of the muscles and bones had begun to develop new bloodline energies, gradually blending with those in the hind limbs.

After lingering for a while within the tiger's body, Bai Xiaoyu's mental power emerged, only to find a pair of beast eyes looking at him expectantly.

Bai Xiaoyu circled the tiger with his mental power and said, "The elixir and catalyst have been integrated into your body. So far, everything is progressing smoothly. You just need to endure the constant pain of bodily evolution, and the success rate will be very high."

He withdrew his mental power and patted the silver metal egg. "Come on, Iron Egg."

The metal egg, excited by Bai Xiaoyu's words, wanted to roll around but then wilted at the name "Iron Egg."

Tao Limeng laughed uncontrollably; he never thought Bai Kan would have such a day.

Lou Hao, who had rushed over after finishing his work, was immensely grateful that he had only spent a few days in an egg state and was mostly in hibernation during that time. Otherwise, he would have suffered like Bai Kan now.

Bai Kan was struggling to learn how to live as an egg.

On the first day, the egg rolled all over the place, unable to control its strength or direction. By the second day, it could walk normally. On the third day, it could control its strength precisely, no longer causing accidents when greeting people.

These few days had actually been quite bearable. Besides the novelty, he could feel his body gradually strengthening, making the experience excellent.

The only downside was that every time Bai Xiaoyu came to change the medicinal liquid, it contained various terrifying elixirs mixed together.

On the first day of changing the liquid, his entire body was permeated by the mixed, terrible smell, leaving nowhere to hide.

During that time, the pain was secondary; he felt his senses had been ruined by these elixirs.

He wished he could knock himself out to escape the torment.

Bai Xiaoyu packed the newly prepared Vital Essence Elixir, Blood Ignition Elixir, Marrow Washing Elixir, and the mixed cultivation liquid into the system storage space, carrying a box outside. He saw the metal egg standing under a tree, contemplating its egg life, but as soon as it saw him, the originally clumsy silver metal egg, which was taller than him, rolled away in ten seconds, moving three hundred meters from the cultivation facility to the front door of the Pharmacy Building.

Bai Xiaoyu: "……"

He looked down at the box in his hand, filled with bottles and jars.

This Iron Egg wasn't so tough, afraid of taking medicine.

Bai Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, standing there. These elixirs weren't for him; it wasn't time to change the medicine yet.

Soon, the metal egg realized its actions were embarrassing. It hadn't expected to react so strongly to Bai Xiaoyu holding the elixirs.

The blame lay solely with the terrifying taste of those elixirs.

Bai Kan felt he couldn't show fear in front of Xiaoyu, being the older brother.

So, Bai Xiaoyu saw the silver metal egg slowly roll back, moving like a snail toward him.

Finally reaching Bai Xiaoyu, it lay down on the ground, signaling him to continue.

Bai Xiaoyu found it amusing. "What are you doing? It's not time to change the medicine yet. These are practice elixirs for the students' mental power training."

He opened the box and tilted it to show the colorful mental power dyes inside.

Metal egg: "……"

He had fully prepared himself mentally, only to be told it wasn't time to change the medicine?

Bai Xiaoyu patted the metal egg, smiling. "I'll come over later to change it. Now, I'm going to see the students."

The metal egg trembled and immediately jumped up, blocking Bai Xiaoyu's path with flexible movements.

Bai Xiaoyu: "What's wrong now?"

The metal egg frantically shook in front of Bai Xiaoyu and lay down again in front of him.

Better to get it over with now rather than later.

Bai Xiaoyu was still wondering what the blocking egg wanted when his optical brain flashed. Opening it, he saw a message from Bai Kan.

"Change the medicine, change the medicine, change the medicine..."

Bai Xiaoyu found it amusing watching the rolling metal egg. Was it refusing to let him go unless he changed the medicine?

"Changing the medicine is fine, but there are still unabsorbed elixirs inside. We'll only add more now and filter and change it tonight."

Bai Xiaoyu took out the elixir and injected it into the metal egg, adding another drop of blood.

Then he probed in with his mental power. After three days of refinement, the tiger's bones and flesh inside the egg had been thoroughly penetrated by the catalyst. The originally white bones now had a faint red tinge. Their hardness and density had increased significantly.

The red color in the bones would deepen as the evolution progressed and gradually fade back to their original color once completed.

Now in the deepening phase, perhaps Dahan's bloodline purity far exceeds that of Bai Kan's hind limbs. The bones and flesh at the front have begun to approach the strength of the hind limbs, even the hind limbs themselves have been stained with color and evolved together.

Bai Xiaoyu used his mental power to select a spot on the spine, targeting a specific nerve. His mental power pierced through, and the originally motionless tail and hind limbs moved simultaneously.

Inside the eggshell, he had been rolling his eyes due to the various medicinal smells, but suddenly his entire body shook, causing the entire egg to vibrate on the ground.

The big tiger turned his head sharply, his animal eyes fixed on his hind limbs. Just now... did they move?

Why aren't they moving now?

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyu stimulated that spot again.

This time, Bai Kan clearly saw his tail suddenly spring up high, and his two hind legs kicked simultaneously.

Without relying on biomechanical limbs, his hind limbs moved!

Looking at the stunned big tiger staring at its own hind limbs, Bai Xiaoyu said, "Dahan's bloodline is better than expected. Since the strength between the front and back has become closer, it is slowly forming a whole. After further refinement and evolution for some time, you will gradually regain control over your hind limbs. From now on, you will start to recover control bit by bit, from simple occasional kicks to fully controlling standing, jumping, and other complex movements. How long this process takes depends on your recovery rate."

After finishing, Bai Xiaoyu noticed that the metal egg was still in a daze, so he signaled to the nearby bodyguard and left.

Not long after Bai Xiaoyu left, the metal egg finally reacted. Just as he wanted to give Bai Xiaoyu a hard egg rub, he realized Bai Xiaoyu was gone. The metal egg began to roll frantically on the ground, spinning out a large pit in the grass, and stopped covered in mud.

He was too excited.

Xiaoyu really gave him a huge surprise!

What should he give Xiaoyu as a thank-you gift?

At this moment, Bai Xiaoyu was watching the interns practicing their mental power. After this period of training, all of them could pierce the targets and successfully enter the second stage.

Watching the interns use their colorful mental powers to attack the targets inside the transparent boxes.

Those who initially entered here can now mostly hit the fifth target.

Ren Zitao and Zhou Miaomiao can already hit the seventh target.

Bai Xiaoyu watched their green and orange mental powers, which were now vastly different from before.

Initially, their mental power tentacles were thick and clumsy, but now they can extend to over five meters, freely moving and driving for long-distance attacks.

Besides the changes in form, their mental powers were also undergoing qualitative changes. If the initial mental power tentacles were fixed points, after the first round of training, they upgraded to lines, and now if they pass this training, they will form more stable planes.

These interns' initial mental powers were completely different from Bai Xiaoyu's, like the difference between a point and a three-dimensional space.

After ending this mental power training session, Bai Xiaoyu watched them practice alchemy.

In the same location, with the same people, and the same... earplugs.

After this period of training, the students' mental powers improved, but they still couldn't avoid explosions.

Students who had passed the fifth target found it relatively easy; they could already separate some impurities from the herbs. Zhou Miaomiao and Ren Zitao, who had passed the seventh target, could already refine simple potions.

However, they still couldn't remove the dark matter within. They couldn't even identify the dark matter in the herbs, let alone capture it.

Moreover, dark matter can harm mental power. Currently, the interns can handle ordinary dark matter, but if the concentration is higher, it would also harm them, not to mention removing it from eggs.

To help them understand dark matter, Bai Xiaoyu even refined other potions, collected the dark matter extracted from the eggs in the breeding facility, dyed it, and injected it into artificial eggs. Dark matter is extremely small, even when dyed, it is difficult to find easily.

Using his mental power, Bai Xiaoyu scanned each egg. To him, the dyed dark matter within the eggs was like seeing countless stars in the sky.

Now, looking at the troubled interns, some couldn't find the dark matter, and others caused explosions and egg destruction, which was quite awkward.

Of course, there were also many students who quickly found it. For these dark matters, their first contact was both surprising and frightening.

After all, these things not only affect the qualifications and birth rates of star people but also cause countless deformed half-beasts among newborn eggs, leading to a sharp decline in the number of beasts. Over time, this has significantly weakened the interstellar forces against the insect race. It is something that everyone in the interstellar hates.

By removing them, newborn eggs can be born healthy and normal, with improved qualifications, unlike the young ones who come to play with them, born with regrets.

Bai Xiaoyu: "Some have found it, so carefully identify the dark matter. These are all floating dark matter within the eggs, not stubborn, similar to the state of dark matter forced out by the bone-marrow washing agent. Try using your mental power to drive them out."

This was the first time dispersing dark matter in eggs. Half of the people caused egg explosions. The remaining ones were those who had passed the fifth target in the second round of mental power training.

After passing the fifth target, their mental powers naturally underwent a qualitative leap. Driving out dark matter from a specific point wasn't a problem, but harming the egg was an issue.

Each artificial egg was set with a tolerance level. Exceeding this value would cause an explosion. If not exceeded, repeated damage accumulating to a certain extent would also cause an explosion. Tao Limeng had set up various damage values for the artificial eggs, generating a report of the damage before the egg exploded, sent to the corresponding intern's optical brain.

Half an hour later, Bai Xiaoyu quietly watched the interns silently reading their reports. The report was a three-dimensional monitoring of the egg, like making the egg transparent, recording every injury with different colors indicating varying degrees of damage. Some eggs were riddled with holes before exploding, silently conveying a message to the interns.

Bai Xiaoyu also looked, from which he could see the state and mastery of the interns' mental powers, categorize the issues, and provide unified explanations.

Every time an egg exploded, the interns made progress. Analyzing and pointing out problems helped them understand and adjust quickly.

This was what Bai Xiaoyu was most satisfied with.

Glancing around, his gaze soon fell on a particular intern. He was the only one here with S-level mental power, Liu Chen. Despite being shorter than the others and having the lowest talent, he worked very hard, almost like a tireless warrior, so his progress was better than some with higher talents.

Seeing Bai Xiaoyu look over, he slightly dodged.

Bai Xiaoyu nodded slightly and quickly averted his gaze.

After class, Bai Xiaoyu went to the Pharmacy Building to refine potions. Recently, he had been producing a batch of potions daily, using the obtained credit points to build the Herb Base. The second major area was about to be completed. Looking at the consumption rate of credit points, he had previously invested enough to establish a third area, but he wasn't in a hurry now.

Continuing to refine potions, he had just finished a batch when he received a message from Tao Limeng, saying that the batch of biomechanical limbs for which Bai Kan had paid a deposit was ready.
