Chapter 148: Mounts Are Also Important
? Seeing that Ye Zan was determined to go down the mountain, Mo Rushi and Wu Changsheng couldn't persuade him anymore. They couldn't imprison Ye Zan on the mountain. The two of them could only be annoyed, and turned their gazes to Liu Gan who was on the side. If Liu Gan hadn't gone to Ye Zan to talk about the alchemy conference, how could they be in such a difficult situation.
Liu Gan felt a little uncomfortable being watched by the two, smiled awkwardly, and said: "You two don't have to worry too much, the Alchemy Dao Conference is not a place to fight and kill, and it would be good for Elder Ye to experience it. Yes."
Mo Rushi gave Liu Gan a hard look, turned around and said to Ye Zan: "Junior brother, you are going down the mountain to the alchemy conference, it seems that I can't persuade you, but this time you have to take Qianjun with you." Come on, otherwise we won’t agree to anything.”
"Well, no problem, that kid has been lying down for so many years, so he should go out and walk more." Ye Zan responded happily. After all, when Qi Qianjun was in Tiandao Mountain, if Qi Qianjun had been waiting outside for more than two years, it would be too much delay. But this time we are going to the alchemy conference, so it's no big deal to go shopping together.
Not long after, Qi Qianjun who received a call from Mo Rushi rushed over, still carrying the sword box of the green-robed Taoist on his back.
"Can't this thing be put away?" Ye Zan asked after Qi Qianjun saw the sword box behind him.
The shape of the sword case would be fine if it looked good, but it looked pitch black, with no decorative patterns on it, as if it was carrying a huge piece of black charcoal. Qi Qianjun was originally considered a good-looking person, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a face like a crown jade, but with the sword case on his back, his image was greatly reduced.
Hearing Ye Zan's question, Qi Qianjun scratched his head, and said with some helplessness: "I made my uncle laugh, this sword box really can't be received in the Qiankun Ring, so I can only carry it like this."
"Well, when we come back from the alchemy conference, I'll find a way to fix 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 also one of the reasons why he only took the red leather gourd and didn't take the sword case back then.
"Then I would like to thank Master Uncle." Qi Qianjun cupped his hands and said.
Finally, Ye Zan and his party went down the mountain.
But this time, Ye Zan didn't use the shuttle to travel, but rode a tall horse. That Fei Shuo could only take two people, not to mention Qi Qianjun was stuffed by Mo Ru, and Liu Gan also brought two disciples with him, a total of five people could only ride horses.
This horse is not a common horse, it has a very catchy name called Treading Snow Fire Qilin, its body is fiery red but its hooves are white. It's just that there is only a little bit of monster blood in this snow-treading fire unicorn. Although it is much stronger than ordinary horses in all aspects, in the world of practice, it is actually only the lowest level of mounts.
This is Yuqing Zongkuo,
Except for the construction and other various expenses, there is some surplus, so it can be regarded as buying some of these mounts. In the past, when Ye Zan and Li Yun went down the mountain, they were still riding the so-called Maxima.
Riding on the back of the snow-riding fire unicorn, Ye Zan couldn't help thinking again. The mode of transportation in this world seems to rely mainly on the so-called mounts, and Yujian Feikong is actually not the majority. Yu Jian's flying in the air also consumes mana, even if it is a master of Jindan, flying a hundred thousand miles in one go, it must be unbearable.
Therefore, most practitioners still like to keep a special mount, and most of them use monsters as mounts. In particular, if this mount has a certain strength, it may still be a helper when encountering any problems.
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 spiritual intelligence are stronger, but most of them are not willing to be used as mounts by others. If they are not well domesticated, they will be easily backlashed. As for those with low spiritual intelligence, although they are easy to domesticate, practitioners often look down on them.
Therefore, a good mount is actually very hard to come by. For example, the crane and the nine-color deer, because of their high intelligence and gentle temperament, are even called spirit beasts, and they are very popular mounts for practitioners. However, the number of these two kinds of spirit beasts is very small, equivalent to the top sports cars of the earth age, not everyone is qualified to own them.
Apart from spirit beasts such as cranes and nine-color deer, horses are the main mounts. However, horses also have grades. For example, a dragon horse with dragon blood is definitely a top mount, not inferior to cranes and nine-color deer. The level of a horse actually depends on its mixed blood, on the one hand, the source of the blood, and on the other hand, the thickness of the blood.
Speaking of which, this horse is really loved by all kinds of monsters and spirits, so much so that there are horses mixed with various bloodlines. Like this snow-walking fire unicorn, it is said that there is a trace of the blood of the fire unicorn, but of course it is so weak that it is almost gone.
However, from Ye Zan's point of view, it seems that in this world, the genetic compatibility of horses is really large enough, and the genes of any species can be mixed into it. Ye Zan recalled that in a different dimension, he also brought a biological gene bank, which contained the genes of various strange creatures in the interstellar world.
So, can you use this genetic technology to make a special mount yourself? Ye Zan was riding on horseback, and his mind had ordered the mastermind in a different dimension to start research in this area.
Although this snow-riding fire unicorn is the lowest mount in the cultivation world, it is still easy to travel thousands of miles a day. Ye Zan and his party were not in a hurry, they traveled thousands of miles a day, and lived in a secular town when they encountered it.
That night, Ye Zan took a tube of blood from the Snow-Treading Fire Qilin and sent it into a different dimension.
Just like that, the group walked for another ten days, and Ye Zan also took ten tubes of blood from the Snow-Treading Fire Qilin to study. So that in the end, when the snow-walking fire unicorn saw Ye Zan, he couldn't help backing away, his pair of big eyes were full of fear.
"Uncle, what did you do with it?" Qi Qianjun asked strangely when he found out about this situation.
"What do you want me to do? It's just a blood draw." Ye Zan took out two syringes, both of which were filled with light red liquid, and said, "Look, Then it’s time to witness the miracle.”
The snow-walking fire unicorn, even if he hid again, where could he hide? In the end, Ye Zan stuck two needles on his body.
As the liquid in the syringe was slowly pushed in by Ye Zan, the uneasy Huo Qilin gradually calmed down. But then, its body began to tremble, and its mood became irritable 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-riding fire unicorn is not cheap.
"Just wait and see." Ye Zan said without looking back, while pulling out the empty syringe, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the horse's back, a wisp of true energy entered the horse's body through the palm.
Following Ye Zan's movements, the Snow-Treading Fire Qilin no longer trembled, but still appeared a little uneasy. Then I saw that its body began to change, the hairs fell off piece by piece, and layers of keratinized things appeared on the skin, which looked like scales but were much larger than the scales, and the pieces looked like armor.
Just over an hour later, this snow-riding fire unicorn has completely changed its appearance, its figure is even taller, and its limbs are much stronger than before. At the same time, its body is like wearing armor, only the long mane is left on the back of the head and neck, as if the burning flame looks quite ferocious.
"Uncle, what is it?" Qi Qianjun asked from the side.
At the same time, Liu Gan and his two disciples also gathered together at this moment, looking curiously at the already completely unfamiliar Fire Qilin.
However, Ye Zan shook his head in disappointment after seeing the changes in this snow-riding fire unicorn, and said, "I changed its bloodline, but it's a pity that it can only grow to this extent, after all, the foundation is too poor. Well, it’s easy to break down again.”
Ye Zan added the genes of two interstellar creatures to the Snow-Treading Fire Unicorn. That bone armor-like thing is a characteristic of an interstellar creature. Don't underestimate that armor, the kind of interstellar creature back then, with this bone armor, could carry small missiles. The other gene is to strengthen and transform its internal organs, which can make its internal organs have stronger toughness and automatic recovery ability.
Now, this snow-riding fire unicorn is just a preliminary change, and it will gradually improve in all aspects of its body under the influence of the genetic medicine.
"Let's go," Ye Zan fed a few pills to the Snow-Treading Fire Qilin, got on his horse and said to them.
As they walked, Qi Qianjun and the others also had a more obvious feeling that Ye Zan's mount had indeed become much stronger. Especially in order to test the speed of the mount, Ye Zan let go of the mount and let the mount run, leaving Qi Qianjun and others far away in a blink of an eye. Qi Qianjun had no choice but to hand over his mount to Liu Gan and the others, and he flew directly to catch up with his sword.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast you run, you still run on the ground. If you want to be fast, you have to fly to the sky! Ye Zanlema waited for Liu Gan and the others to catch up, still thinking about the issue of the mount.
For Ye Zan, the mount is not just a means of transportation, it should also have quite powerful combat power like those top mounts. And these, even if this snow-riding fire unicorn is modified, it is far from meeting the requirements.
In the different-dimensional space, all kinds of equipment in the laboratory are busy, and various gene samples in the gene bank are being sent to the laboratory continuously.
"Wait, why is there such a thing in this gene pool!" Ye Zan had been watching the experiments in the different dimension space through the auxiliary chip, and was suddenly frightened by one of the gene samples.
The label on this gene sample says it is a planet, a giant rodent gene sample. Moreover, in the records of the main brain, it also has the same name, including the description, which is also about this unsurprising bug.
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 have the appearance of bugs, they are actually an extinct interstellar intelligent race.
