Chapter 627: Chapter 389: The Ultimate Evolution of Dark Crow! The unique attribute is..._1

Blood curd, a dish formed by adding salt to animal blood and then heating it until it congeals, was something Lu Ran quite liked to eat before he became a Beast Trainer. Spicy and numbing, it was perfect with rice.

After becoming a Beast Trainer Chef, blood curd remained one of the dishes Lu Ran cooked the most, mainly because beast blood was just so common.

However, despite his extreme proficiency, cooking epic-level blood curd was still a first for Lu Ran...

Therefore, he didn’t directly choose to cook with the Mental Attribute Divine Beast blood suitable for the Dark Crow; instead, he started with Fire Attribute Divine Beast blood.

Best to try the dish on himself first!

None of his contracted pet beasts required Fire Attribute food; it was only Lu Ran, as a Flame Spirit Pillar, who needed Fire Attribute resources to bolster his Flame Spirit. So, it was certainly right to start by cooking Fire Attribute ingredients for his own use.

"For a mere Level 5 Beast Trainer like me to actually enjoy a dish cooked with Divine Beast blood..." Lu Ran mused aloud, "But is it really okay to keep this delight all to myself? Maybe I should record a video instead and share the experience with Manager Ying and the others in this way."

Three days later.

As time swiftly passed while Lu Ran was immersed in researching dishes and nurturing pet beasts, he felt nothing out of the ordinary; everything was fleeting.

The Flame of Life merged with his Flame Spirit gave Lu Ran an enormous surprise. Not only did it make the Divine Beast blood extremely fresh and reduce the difficulty of cooking, but after using a recipe passed down from Emperor Yan Sizhen and choosing suitable ingredients, Lu Ran only had a minor mishap with the Fire Attribute blood curd. He then successfully cooked perfect Mental Attribute blood curd that could enhance the Growth Level.

In this time, the Dark Crow greedily devoured the blood curd, even slurping up every bit of the soup. Plus, with Lu Ran utilizing "Time Acceleration" to speed up the Dark Crow’s digestion and growth rate, it didn’t take long for its Growth Level to reach Level 60.

Of course, Lu Ran also ate a good amount himself, but he felt it didn’t do much to enhance him. Perhaps it was because his Flame Spirit Level was too high; even epic Fire Attribute blood curd couldn’t induce another transformation. Lu Ran simply enjoyed the taste without substantial strength enhancement.

However, researching epic Fire Attribute blood curd was just a warm-up for Lu Ran; he couldn’t be too demanding. As long as Dark Crow smoothly reached Level 60, that was enough.

His only current concern was whether the Divine Phoenix, if still alive, would burn him to death for using her flames to make Sichuan blood curd.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to heal and help others, but enhancing his own strength now was just more cost-effective...

"Gaga gaga, this amazing feeling~~~"

Right now, the Dark Crow’s skin was red, and it was still munching on ice cubes—a consequence of overindulging, having been scalded by the spiciness.

"It seems the absorption effect is pretty good. Cooking epic-level cuisine is no longer a challenge, so forging epic-level equipment should also be simple."

Lu Ran glanced at his backpack.

[Legendary Level]: Heart of the Wind God, Water of the Origin Sea, Nectar of the Flower God

[Epic Level]: Imperial Jade Seal, Deer Horn of God, Starlight Sword, Star Iron, Wrath of Nature, Roc Feather, Bones of the Dog God, Transformation Bracelet, Relic Branch, epic Divine Blood x5, Crocodile Skin

"Although the bet with Divine Eagle Federation has lost its significance since I received the Machinery inheritance from the Spirit Research Institute, since I promised to forge a top-grade weapon for Fang Lan, I still have to do it."

"Initially, I wanted to use Star Iron to forge a secret weapon, but No. 18 said that Star Iron is more suited to forging Machinery equipment. So I’ll switch to another weapon. I’ll use Crocodile Ancestor skin to forge a poison whip for Fang Lan."

"A Whip Saintess, huh..." Lu Ran stroked his chin. Shouldn’t it be impossible to fail in forging this time?

"King, King, what about this whip?" Dark Crow seemed to have heard something and came over asking, "Are you planning to use it for King of Sudden Death to temper his will-to-live through flagellation?"

"..." Lu Ran said, "That’s not necessary. Alright, let’s go find the Ghost Mother."

"I wonder what level you can reach with this second stage of evolution."

"King, what do you think..."

"I can’t promise surpassing the Six Paths Flower, but even if it’s not in group combat, being second in combat strength in our team and comparable to me when transformed, doesn’t seem to be a problem."

"I’ll take to heart your auspicious words, King!" the Dark Crow said with a look of expectation and excitement.

...

Before long, Lu Ran, holding the "Abyss Shell," arrived in the Abyss Space and called for the Ghost Mother.

"Is it you guys?"

The voluminous shadow of the Ghost Mother appeared, and seeing Lu Ran and the black crow on his shoulder, she said, "The cat just left not long ago; I didn’t expect you to come so soon."

"I heard from her that you went to the Breakthrough Secret Realm, right?"

"Indeed, Ghost Mother. You mentioned just now that Manager Ying left not long ago??"

"Hmm, it has been several days since she left, leaving behind that one named ’Shi Zhen’. He is now my emissary, but she’s too weak. At the moment, I’ve imprisoned her and her pet beast in the deeper Abyss to let them undergo training and strengthen."

"You are acquaintances, aren’t you? The next time you see her, she may not necessarily be weaker than you."

"That would be great," Lu Ran replied with a faint smile.

It appeared that Manager Ying had brought Senior Chairman and Principal Shi to the Star-Moon Continent, with Principal Shi staying here with the Ghost Mother to train, and the Senior Chairman and the cat returning to Blue Star.

Lu Ran said, "Ghost Mother, it’s true that we’ve just returned from the Breakthrough Secret Realm. Having succeeded in the breakthrough, Dark Crow’s Growth Level has now reached Level 60. I’m about to prepare for its Fusion with the Time Attribute for its second stage of evolution."
