Chapter 217: Chapter 190: Red Evolution Path: Dark Realm Arbiter

Chen Xing began his trials.

According to the lineage, Sìxiàng possessed four attributes.

Unless one wished to discard an attribute, it was preferable to include all attributes during evolution, or at the very least, have one treasure material corresponding to an attribute.

Therefore, the treasure materials of the Soul Element must be tested first.

Chen Xing wasn’t in a hurry; he first sat in the rest area for a while before picking up a flashlight and walking into the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, silence reigned, with only the echo of Chen Xing’s footsteps in the expansive space.

Sìxiàng followed closely behind him, carefully tucking in its wings to avoid brushing against the shelves on either side.

Just as Sìxiàng was following Chen Xing into the warehouse, the dull eyes of a slumbering rock spirit in the depths of the warehouse quietly burst into light.

The next moment, its huge form vanished like a ghost from its original spot.

Chen Xing arrived at the section specifically categorized for storing Soul Element treasure materials.

Even those treasure materials dropping with the Soul Element that were extremely rare in the outside world filled seven or eight shelves here.

Each shelf held a treasure material on each row.

Chen Xing found that most of the Soul Element treasure materials were either in the shape of plants or some organ that had been harvested and was soaked in liquid.

Chen Xing carefully picked up one of the glass bottles, which contained something resembling an embryo.

There was also a nameplate in front of this glass container: Pseudo-Spiritual Doppelganger (Soul Element).

Chen Xing had Sìxiàng lightly touch the glass container with its fingertip.

The next second, a progress bar emerged at the tip of Sìxiàng’s finger.

1.6%…6.9%…7.8%.

It finally settled at 7.8%, and at the same time, a white path extended backward.

It seemed feasible; since it was possible, there were no issues.

Chen Xing began testing row by row.

Soon, he had tested over thirty kinds of Soul Element treasure materials, with the highest only producing a blue, rare evolutionary path.

It seemed the probability of finding a rare evolutionary path was not high.

But there were still many treasure materials in the warehouse, and Chen Xing could continue testing at his leisure.

Just as Chen Xing carefully placed the glass container back on the shelf, he suddenly felt a faint itching sensation on the back of his neck.

“Master, be careful!” Sìxiàng’s voice rang out urgently in his ear, followed by the sensation of his arm being tightly grasped by Sìxiàng, a strong force pulling him backward.

Chen Xing, dragged back several steps by Sìxiàng, felt his heartbeat accelerate in an instant.

He quickly turned his head to look at the spot where he stood just moments ago.

Somehow, a rock spirit had appeared there without a sound, its head lowered and its nose close to the spot where he had been standing as if it were sniffing something.

Such a large creature made no sound when moving!

Chen Xing thought of the Sìxiàng he had summoned and was preparing to recall it back into the Beast Taming Space.

But the rock spirit merely sniffed lightly and made no further moves.

It just stood there quietly, watching him.

The appearance of the rock spirit was humanoid, its face seeming to wear an undetachable, broad, and flat mask.

The mask sketched out the features of a human face, its body garbed in a wide one-piece robe, the leg part vague, only a faintly visible black shadow adhering to the ground.

The rock spirit watched Sìxiàng for a good while, then suddenly turned its gaze to another direction.

Then, like a ghost, in front of Chen Xing, it slowly melted into the ground beneath it, gradually vanishing like a clump of mud.

Chen Xing thought to himself that it was no wonder he hadn’t detected its movements earlier.

With the rock spirit gone and without any intervention, it indicated that although his current actions grazed the rules, they weren’t in violation, so they were permissible.

Nevertheless, his subsequent movements were much gentler.

The vast warehouse housed tens of thousands of different types of treasure materials, and even if he tried them one by one, it would not be a task completed in a short time.

“Hmm?”

As Sìxiàng contacted the Soul Element treasure materials, another orange evolution route was discovered.

However, it was regrettable that an evolution route of red Quality had already been found.

While the orange Quality was not low, it still fell short by one level compared to the red Quality.

At the same time, in the deepest part of the warehouse, lumps of mud suddenly began to rise without reason, as though something was slowly ascending from underground.

These patches of mud gradually outlined a massive figure—it was the mountain stone spirit that had disappeared earlier.

Next to it, three other mountain stone spirits, identical in appearance, also began to materialize, and the four stone spirits stood in a row, staring fixedly at the tightly sealed door deep within the warehouse.

Just then, three gentle knocks suddenly came from behind the sealed door.

Though faint, the knocks were exceptionally clear in the silent warehouse.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Found it!” Chen Xing’s voice carried an uncontrollable hint of elation.

At the end of the dashed line, a red evolution route emerged.

If this wasn’t another red evolution route, then it must be the other treasure material needed for the Thunder Fire Demon Vine’s evolution route.

It was a pity that he hadn’t brought the Thunder Fire Demon Vine; otherwise, he would have known if this was the same evolution route but with different treasure materials.

Chen Xing looked at the treasure material reacting with Sìxiàng—the Soul Fire Stone.

An oval-shaped transparent stone.

Encased within the stone was something that resembled flames.

As the night passed, Chen Xing had Sìxiàng contact more than two thousand kinds of treasure materials.

Apart from the Soul Fire Stone, the rest could only extend to orange evolution routes at best.

As for a gold Quality evolution route, not a single treasure material managed to trigger one.

The variety of treasure materials tried so far amounted to less than a tenth of the total in the warehouse.

However, considering Sìxiàng’s Attribute, with a bit of luck, it wouldn’t be necessary to try every single Attribute.

This significantly reduced the number of treasure materials needed to be contacted.

Midway through, when Chen Xing went deep into the warehouse, he noticed something unusual about the four mountain stone spirits.

They were lined up in a row, gazing unblinkingly at the tightly closed door.

A shiver ran down Chen Xing’s spine at the time.

The abnormal behavior of the mountain stone spirits was all too apparent.

Chen Xing sensed that something was amiss.

Still, he hoped that even if there were problems behind the door, they would emerge later rather than sooner, preferably after he had let all his Beast Taming creatures try contacting all the treasure materials.

If something did happen in the warehouse, the part-time job might be safe, but the ease of contacting materials later might not be the same as now.

After returning home, Chen Xing finished collecting his daily Skill Point Fragments from the Twin-fiend Dogs and opened his mobile phone.

After discussing with Fan You and senior Xiang Tian, Chen Xing would take the night shift for the next period of time, while the day shift would be rotated between the other two seniors.

Because Chen Xing was going to participate in the Qinghai competition, even if he hurried and canceled other time-wasting activities, the round trip plus the competition would still take nearly a week.

It was fairly common for people like Chen Xing to work overtime and then take compensatory leave later.

For the next while, Chen Xing spent most of his time immersed in the logistics warehouse.

The vast amount of treasure materials in the logistics warehouse was like a vast treasury.

The evolution-required treasure materials were continually unlocked.

Finally, on the seventh day, after touching all the treasure materials of Thunder Element, Fire Element, Soul Element, and Dark Element, and finding that he was still one short for the red evolution route, Chen Xing spent ten Skill Points to unlock the last material.

The dashed red line representing the evolution route gradually solidified, eventually forming a row of red text: Dark Realm Arbiter.
