Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Seeing Bai Qi trying not to laugh, Bai Yan also felt somewhat helpless and forced a smile, “Teacher Chun, you still like to joke as much as ever.”

Chun Yushui chuckled, “When you were a student, you were quite clueless. Yet you raised such a clever son – all I can say is that Luo Zhu’s genes are powerful.”

Ahem… Teacher Chun, let’s discuss serious matters.”

Bai Yan gave a small cough to change the topic, and Bai Qi curiously asked, “Uncle Chun, you were my father’s teacher?”

Chun Yushui nodded, “Sort of, I taught at the university for a year or two but then I quit.”

“Why did you quit a decent job?”

Bai Qi smelled gossip brewing and became increasingly curious.

“Nothing much, I drank too much, skipped too many classes, so I simply didn’t go anymore.”

Chun Yushui took another swig from a bottle of wine, his face full of satisfaction, “The club is much more comfortable, without all those annoying rules.”          °

Quit because of drinking too much and forgetting to attend classes?

Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly. Despite the short time he had known Chun Yushui, this did seem like something Chun Yushui would do.

“Teacher Chun, how are the embryos and the genes of the ancient species preserved?”

Luo Zhu rushed straight to the point, asking about the ancient species embryos right away.

Chun Yushui gestured towards Feng Ye, who was in the process of handling fossils, “The embryos were preserved by Moon Night Tower. As for the genes, there you go, the last batch of fossils are right here. If anything gets damaged’ just talk to him.”    ’

Upon hearing this, Feng Ye stiffened and nearly dropped the fossil in his hands, ‘Master Chun, are you selling out your own brother?”

Chun Yushui shrugged his shoulders, took another sip from his bottle of wine and chose not to reply. Feng Ye could only accept his fate. He utilized an Earth Elemental to continue moving the fossils, but he was even more cautious.

Having run around with Chun Yushui for so long, he knew very well that if he really did damage these fossils, Chun Yushui was fully capable of making him take the fall.

Of course, he would also help him bounce back afterwards and compensate him extravagantly.

Chun Yushui sized up Bai Qi, who was curiously examining the fossils, and asked, “Speaking of which, Xiao Bai, Xiao Zhu, did you bring Bai Qi here because you plan to introduce him to the field of biology?”

Bai Yan shook his head, “Bai Qi is already involved in too many fields. It’s not suitable to distract him further. He just had a thought, so we brought him along to corroborate.”

“Oh, you should really give it a try then. I’ve seen how this kid thinks.”

Chun 1 Yushui’s eyes lit up at Bai Yan’s words, showing his absolute confidence in Bai Qi, while Feng Ye also displayed interest, “Bai Qi, what are you working

As Bai Qi was about to reply, Feng Ye was kicked away by Chun Yushui.

“Go back to work. I’m waiting to finish the handover and have a proper drink.”

Chun Yushui swished his empty bottle with a displeased face. Feng Ye reluctantly ran back to work.

Bad luck! If not for the generous compensation, could he handle this?

Alright, we’ll take Bai Qi to visit the cultivation room first, and Teacher Chun please feel free.”

Anxious to experiment with the compatibility issue of the Ancestral Beasts and the ancient species, Bai Yan didn’t feel like chatting further with Chun Yushui. Chun Yushui, having finished his wine, seemed somewhat listless and waved them off before going to urge Feng Ye back to work.

As Bai Qi watched Feng Ye, who looked rather pitiful, he offered a sympathetic gaze, then followed Bai Yan and Luo Zhu towards the cultivation room.

Compared to Chun Yushui, Old Qin seemed like a benevolent leader.

Once the trio reached the cultivation room, they saw several people dressed in Moon Night Tower uniforms busily transferring sealed metal boxes. Those who liaised with them were researchers dressed in white lab coats. The logo on their chests, a black and white bear, was faintly visible.

“Dad, Mum, are you researchers for the Jiuli Group?”

Bai Qi recognized the logo of the Jiuli Group at a glance. Bai Yan, seeing no reason to hide it anymore, replied, “Yes, your mother and I have been working for the Jiuli Group for years. Our research involves patents, so we never mentioned it to you.”

Fulfilling his puzzlement, Bai Qi thought, no wonder his parents never mentioned their work – it was because it involved patents.

Alright, stop pretending in front of our son. You’ve been researching for so long without producing any core patents, and our son already has two.”

Luo Zhu bluntly criticized Bai Yan. Bai Yan showed a bitter smile, without any power to refute.

Well, there wasn’t any point in denying it – after all, Bai Qi’s core patents were indeed very impressive.

“Let’s go. The labs here at Moon Night Tower are just as good as those at headquarters. Let’s go there for our research.”

Luo Zhu grabbed Bai Qi and headed straight for the research lab. Along the way, the researchers of the Jiuli Group respectfully nodded their heads to Luo Zhu, clearly indicating her status.

Upon entering the lab, Bai Qi saw a row of fossil eggs neatly lined up on a machine similar to an incubator. As soft light was projected from above the machine, a screen nearby clearly displayed the fossils’ conditions.

‘^These machines stabilize the activity of the embryos. Considering you will likely be venturing frequently into secret realms in the future, you might consider getting one.”

Bai Qi nodded. If the revival technology of the Jiuli Group for ancient species could indeed be implemented, he would need to keep an eye out for fossils in future secret realms. Even if he didn’t revive them himself, selling them to the Jiuli Group would be very profitable.

Of course, the precondition was that these fossils hadn’t deactivated.

“Leader Bai, Leader Luo.”

Upon seeing the three of them, a researcher from the Jiuli Group approached saying, “The stabilization and transfer of the embryo will take a few more days. Leaders, you don’t have to keep coming over. Consider it a vacation.”

Bai Yan smiled and said, “Forget about vacation, we finally found the embryo fossils. We should at least wait until the research is completed.”

“Leader Bai, you really are…”

The researcher sighed helplessly and didn’t say anything more.

In the entire Jiuli Group, if anyone spoke of dedication, Bai Yan and his wife ranked second, with nobody daring to claim the first place. If these two offered to take a break one day, it would actually feel strange.

“By the way, who is this?”

The researcher quickly noticed Bai Qi and, seeing his facial resemblance to the two, asked, “Who is this?”

“My son. He is currently undergoing training at the association, so we brought him here to have a look,¹¹ Blanc replied.

Luo Zhu said, “By the way, do we have any unpackaged genetic tissue and empty laboratories? We have some ideas we want to try.”

“Yes, genetics tissue has just been extracted from a damaged fossil egg and hasn’t been packaged yet.”

The researcher picked up a metal box from the side, pointed at a laboratory not far away, and said, “That laboratory over there is temporarily vacant. Leaders you can use that one first.”

“Ok.”

Luo Zhu nodded, then took the box from the researcher and headed straight for the lab. Bai Yan and Bai Qi also quickly followed her without hesitation.

Watching the departing figures of the three, the researcher who wanted to help shrugged helplessly.

This kind of work pace could only be maintained by such a couple. But this time they probably wanted to show their son, so it was not a pity if they couldn’t participate.

Speaking of which, it seemed that the association had produced a freak named Bai recently. Could it be their son?

The three walked into the lab and changed into lab uniforms. Luo Zhu then opened the metal box to reveal a slender bone.

“Had it begun to hatch when it was preserved? No wonder it became deactivated.”

Bai Yan looked at the bone in Luo Zhu’s hand with some regret and said, “Judging by its appearance, it should be the spinal bone of a pterosaur. Maybe we can extract some useful genes.”

“Perfect. The strength of this failed hatching gene is moderate, which makes it the best experimental material.”

Luo Zhu was very satisfied with these materials. Turning to Bai Qi, she said, “Son, why don’t we try extracting some tissue from your Ancestral Beast to cultivate it?”

Bai Qi shook his head and replied, “No need, let’s let Delta try it.”

Genetic matters couldn’t trigger evolution like other elements using energy.

But Bai Qi still wanted to give it a try.

If they could evolve directly, the effect would be much more vivid than tissue culture.

“Alright.”

Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, watching as Bai Qi summoned Delta after placing the bone on Delta, they chose to respect their son’s opinions. But they didn’t seem very hopeful.

Genes could be considered the deepest parts of a creature. Stimulating effects just by external contact was highly unrealistic.

Bai Qi was still a novice in the biological field and didn’t fully understand this yet.

“It seems it’s not working.”

Indeed, as expected by Bai Yan and his wife, the mere bone fossil didn’t trigger Delta’s evolution. There wasn’t even a slight change.

“Son, wouldn’t it be better to extract some tissue for cultivation so that we can see the result more clearly?” Luo Zhu said, walking towards him.

Luo Zhu walked forward, intending to let Bai Qi give up this unscientific method. However, she saw Bai Qi summoning Alpha, picked up the bone again, and placed it onto Delta.

“No, the aura of undead creatures will destroy the viability of the fossils, so…” Seeing Alpha appear, Bai Yan was about to stop him when suddenly the Evolution Light on Delta interrupted his words.

Was it actually evolving?

Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other in disbelief. Unexpectedly, Delta really could evolve. Bai Qi, on the other hand, nodded satisfactorily.

It turned out that only Alpha, an undead creature with skeleton manipulation capabilities, could draw out the energy aura hidden within the bones.

He just wondered what kind of form Delta would evolve into next-
