Chapter 068

Bai Xiaoyu patted the giant egg, and the little creatures inside chased his spiritual energy for quite a while. Now, the egg finally stopped shaking so violently. He could sense each of the little creatures rolling to the spot he had patted, leaning against the shell after being patted, and then dispersing contentedly when he withdrew his hand.

Bai Xiaoyu walked towards the last pair of eggs—one large, one small, one black, one white. As he approached, the eggs couldn't help but move around.

He had just checked on these two not long ago. With both hands, he touched their shells and said, "Stay put. I need to help the other eggs with the final round of dark matter removal and do a live broadcast."

Even though they went through this routine every day, the eggs still rubbed against his hands.

Bai Xiaoyu gently pushed them away. "No use trying to cajole me; it's almost time. Wait here for me."

Bai Xiaoyu scanned the area and looked at the interns observing and recording data around the eggs. He gestured towards the empty space in the middle where the alchemy furnace was placed and said, "Come over here."

Bai Xiaoyu checked the time; it was time for the live broadcast, which he promptly started.

Now, Bai Xiaoyu's live stream had many more viewers than before, and it quickly filled up with people.

"Hey, you're finally broadcasting! Do you know you were five minutes late?"

"Yeah, you have to extend the broadcast today. By the way, let us see the blood eggs; we miss them so much."

"I want to see those eight eggs that always gang up on each other. Which team is winning today?"

"Hehe, the multi-yolk egg is still the biggest."

After the audience chattered for a bit, they made their way to various eggs, watching them fight or play around with great interest.

Bai Xiaoyu greeted them, and then the interns gathered in order, calling him "Mentor."

Bai Xiaoyu nodded, opened the alchemy furnace, and walked into the incubation room, picking up a blood egg.

This blood egg, which had been bumping into its neighbor, suddenly became docile in Bai Xiaoyu's arms, staying still as he held and stroked it.

The blood egg was tall, large, and heavy, making it a bit difficult for Bai Xiaoyu to carry, though not as challenging as before. Although his physical condition hadn't improved in terms of rank recently, he felt close to breaking through. Based on his current state, he predicted that his constitution would reach D+ next month.

The audience in the live stream followed him, "Is the broadcaster going to boil an egg? It's Blood Egg No. 1."

No wonder the audience paid special attention to this egg; when they first saw it, a large part of its shell was missing, and it seemed like it wouldn't develop and might become a dud. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoyu managed to repair it, and now among all the eggs, it was one of the best-developed and largest.

Not only did the audience notice, but many forces across the galaxy were also watching.

Initially, no one dared to take on the damaged eggs, but now, although they looked strange, the data from each egg was undeniable.

There was also the multi-yolk egg and the birth rates of the half-beast and pure human offspring from the other eggs, which were key points of interest.

The previous batch of eggs produced a perfect ratio of beast, half-beast, and pure human offspring. At that time, the sample size was small, but now, with nearly a hundred eggs, whether this consistency could be maintained was crucial.

After all, once could be an accident, but if it happened repeatedly, it would prove that this former failure had mastered the method of removing dark matter.

If that were the case, their attention shifted to the interns beside Bai Xiaoyu.

These talented students from various planets were initially arrogant and proud, but now they stood calmly and respectfully behind Bai Xiaoyu, a stark contrast to their earlier behavior.

Many forces were puzzled by this transformation. After all, the pride of geniuses doesn't fade easily, especially in such a short period of about a month. These prodigies seemed to have shed their arrogance, and their demeanor had changed significantly.

While some forces initially considered recruiting these students, they weren't overly concerned. After all, they were still inexperienced students who needed proper nurturing to grow into valuable assets in the future.

However, now, seeing the transformed interns, various factions began to have different thoughts.

If Bai Xiaoyu could consistently hatch eggs with a perfect ratio of offspring, these students would undoubtedly become highly sought-after.

Although the interns had signed a tyrannical contract with Bai Xiaoyu, interstellar law provided protection for interns, and there were ways to terminate contracts.

Unaware that many forces were eyeing his interns, Bai Xiaoyu placed the blood egg into the alchemy furnace. The egg, covered in blood web patterns, rolled and stood up.

Another bath, huh?

Blood Egg No. 1 was looking forward to it. Although the process was painful, it felt good afterward.

The egg could only describe it as comfortable, but each egg had an innate drive to seek benefits and grow stronger. Even though they didn't understand anything yet, they instinctively desired the reduction of dark matter and the enhancement brought by the cleansing agent.

It was ready for the bath, but then noticed Bai Xiaoyu turning around and taking out another alchemy furnace, placing its neighbor, Blood Egg No. 2, inside.

Blood Egg No. 1 seemed to glare at No. 2, which didn't back down, as if they were about to fight.

Before they could start, Bai Xiaoyu continued to bring out more alchemy furnaces and place more eggs inside. There were six alchemy furnaces, and the six blood eggs inside were stunned.

The interns and the live stream audience were equally surprised. Seeing Bai Xiaoyu stand in front of the alchemy furnaces and look at the interns, they had a terrible suspicion.

"Are you going to let these interns practice boiling eggs?"

The interns, remembering their various egg-bombing incidents, stepped back in horror. "Mentor, it's too early. We can't do it."

Bai Xiaoyu: "You know it's too early. My requirements are higher. Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't let you handle the eggs now. What are you thinking?"

The interns scratched their noses, feeling embarrassed.

"Mentor, what do you want us to do?"

Bai Xiaoyu patted the hostile eggs and took out the prepared medicine. "Your spiritual powers have reached the eighth target. You can follow my spiritual power into the alchemy furnace to observe the removal of dark matter."

At this stage, most of the dark matter has been removed from the eggs. The concentration of the remaining dark matter needs to be introduced to you. This dark matter is more active and aggressive than what was deliberately placed in artificial eggs.

More importantly, he would simultaneously remove dark matter from six eggs. This is to allow Ren Zitao and Zhou Miaomiao, who have entered the third phase of spiritual power training, to deeply understand the forms of spiritual power usage and provide directions for their future spiritual power mutations.

Standing between the six alchemy furnaces, Bai Xiaoyu's spiritual power threads emerged. This time, they didn't use the spiritual power dye, so it was invisible to the naked eye.

The audience in the live stream was confused, but Zhou Miaomiao and Ren Zitao's expressions turned serious. The other interns also sensed something and slowly extended their spiritual powers into the alchemy furnaces.

The moment he entered, he felt an overwhelming pressure, but it quickly subsided. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed the smooth flow of the potion inside the alchemy furnace and the dark matter seeping out of the egg.

This is incredibly fast. It usually takes them half a day just to enter the artificial eggs, but within a few breaths, Bai Xiaoyu has already expelled the dark matter from inside the eggshell.

Moreover, this blood egg isn't stationary; it rolls around and causes a commotion. The moment their mental power approaches and touches the surface of the eggshell, they get thrown away.

As the concentration of dark matter increases, their mental power starts to feel pain. Is this truly the dark matter inside the egg? It seems to cling to and consume mental power.

Everyone's faces turned pale as more and more people couldn't withstand the mental strain and withdrew. Looking at Bai Xiaoyu, whose expression remained unchanged, they realized that while they could barely handle being inside, their mentor could simultaneously expel dark matter from six eggs with ease.

Meanwhile, Zhou Miaomiao and the others' eyes shone brightly as their mental powers gradually aligned with Bai Xiaoyu's attributes.

At this moment, in a laboratory somewhere, Bai Qi was watching the live stream. He had projected the entire nursery room into the lab. Seeing Bai Xiaoyu standing in front of several alchemy furnaces without actively operating them, some of the interns began to look pale.

He wondered, "What is this waste doing now?"

Beside him was an egg-shaped container, now reinforced with multiple layers. Inside, instead of a single main tentacle, there was now a dense cluster of blue tentacles.

Old Man Qi was drawing a syringe of liquid when he heard Bai Qi's words. He looked over and saw the changes in Bai Xiaoyu and the students. Holding the syringe, he approached. At that moment, the cluster inside the container also drifted closer, seemingly staring at them.

After observing for a while, Old Man Qi said, "The interns seem to be using their mental power, and your brother is clearly doing the same. However, his mental power appears much stronger than theirs. It's possible that his mental power has recovered."

Bai Qi's face turned grim. "How is that possible? Wasn't it destroyed?"

Old Man Qi: "Doesn't he have a master alchemist by his side? Perhaps it's related to that."

The two continued watching Bai Xiaoyu, and the cluster of blue tentacles stared intently. When Bai Xiaoyu opened the alchemy furnace and carried the blood egg out, the tentacles trembled.

This egg looks delicious. This human, though unfamiliar, feels somehow familiar. Seeing him brings a sense of satisfaction and fullness.

The cluster of blue tentacles stirred within the container, and once released, it would devour the two noisy humans.

But should this human be devoured or not?

At this moment, Bai Qi stared at Bai Xiaoyu for a long time before finally focusing on the smallest egg in the last incubation chamber. His eyes gleamed with schadenfreude. "If I'm not mistaken, this must be Feng Shuang'er's egg. It looks quite weak. Old Man Qi, how does this egg compare to Bai Xiaoyu's back then?"

Old Man Qi glanced at it. "Both are smaller than normal eggs, but this one is even smaller. However, Bai Xiaoyu had exceptionally strong mental power. We don't know if this egg has similar potential."

Meanwhile, Feng Shuang'er was also watching the live stream. After reviewing all the well-cultivated eggs, she compared them to the small one, her expression turning sour.

She couldn't help but say to the man beside her, "Is Xiaoyu doing this on purpose? He cultivates all the other eggs well, but neglects the one that shares his mother. That egg is so small, and I haven't seen him touch it during the entire live stream."

Recalling the motionless egg she saw at the Royal Nursery, she felt this egg was even worse than Xiaoyu.

Bai Qing knew the egg was fundamentally damaged. "Let's wait and see. Everything will be clearer once it hatches."

Feng Shuang'er lowered her gaze. "But I can't wait anymore."

With Bai Xiaoyu as a precedent, she had faced ridicule from Bai Qing's other lovers in Imperial Star. This time, she wanted a child with exceptional talent, preferably a little beastman.

Their ongoing application for guardianship also hinged on this hope.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoyu was expelling dark matter from the blood egg through its blood vessels, making the process easier. Thus, dispersing dark matter from six eggs didn't take long—about half an hour per egg with three fine threads of mental power each.

Next, he started cleaning the eggs. Ren Zitao, who was nearby, offered, "Teacher, let me help you."

Bai Xiaoyu glanced at the blood egg in the alchemy furnace, which seemed to stop moving upon hearing their conversation. "Give it a try, then."

Ren Zitao stepped forward, reaching out to touch the egg, but it pushed him away, appearing hostile and unwilling to be touched.

Bai Xiaoyu stepped forward and picked up the blood egg. It rolled excitedly in his arms, feeling heavy and passionate, almost slipping from his hands. He quickly placed it back.

After placing all the eggs properly, Bai Xiaoyu spent the remaining live stream time answering parents' questions.

Most parents were concerned about their eggs, while a smaller portion belonged to the batch of blood eggs. Some had reconnected with their parents, but many had not. After all, their planet had been attacked by insectoids, and many parents might no longer be alive.

Apart from these, there was also the small egg. Its negligent parents had never shown any concern.

Bai Xiaoyu frowned. In a short while, these eggs would need parental guidance for enlightenment. With some eggs lacking parents, he needed to find a solution quickly.

He glanced at the position of the small egg, wondering if those two would show up during the enlightenment.
