Making himself return to the Tongdu Teleportation Center to fetch something, he feared it would be a one-way trip!
Li Shihuo: "??? Li Cunxu, what are you talking about? If I'm not Li Shihuo, then who am I?"
Li Cunxu: "Then let me ask you, did you tell a cold joke the first time we met?"
Li Shihuo: "No."
Li Cunxu: "You still claim to be Li Shihuo, but you don't even know he told a cold joke."
Li Shihuo: "Did I tell a cold joke back then? I'm getting old and a bit useless, my memory's failing, can't remember... Oh, oh, I recall I might have indeed told one."
Li Cunxu: "Heh, since when did Elder Li Shihuo tell cold jokes? Stop pretending, a little probe and you've revealed yourself."
'Li Shihuo': "How did you see through me?"
Li Cunxu: "You've tried guiding me to the Tongdu Teleportation Center too many times."
'Li Shihuo': "Seems my intentions were too obvious."
Li Cunxu: "Who are you?"
'Li Shihuo': "I'm the Faceless Man, skilled in face-changing disguises. You should be careful in the future, I might disguise myself as anyone around you."
Li Cunxu: "I don't believe it, if you have the skill, come to Shendu University to assassinate me."
Afterwards, Li Cunxu turned his phone to silent and ignored it.
Li Cunxu went to the school hospital and registered with a pet egg doctor.
He handed the dragon egg with a thick crystal shell to the doctor for examination.
"Dr. Liao, how's the dragon egg's condition? Can it hatch?"
Dr. Liao shook his head, "The condition of the dragon egg is not optimistic. It's been soaked in the crystal liquid for too long, forming a hard crystal shell. Without breaking the crystal shell, it would take ten thousand years to hatch, but the crystal shell and the dragon egg are integrated, breaking it rashly could cause irreversible harm."
"Is there a way to speed up the hatching without breaking the crystal shell?"
"Yes, using hatching liquid. Ordinary hatching liquid can reduce the hatching time of the dragon egg by a few hundred years."
Uh... reduced by a few hundred years, still more than nine thousand years to go.
"Is there a faster method?"
"Yes, using the best hatching liquid in the world, the [Divine Egg No. 1 Hatching Liquid], which can reduce the hatching time of the dragon egg to one hundred years."
Dr. Liao looked at Li Cunxu's attire and shook his head, "But you can't afford it."
Li Cunxu, not angry at this, curiously asked:
"How expensive is it?"
Dr. Liao held up one finger.
"Ten million per bottle? That's not expensive at all!"
"Wrong, it's one billion per..."
One billion is a bit expensive.
"Divine Egg No. 1 Hatching Liquid is one billion per gram," Dr. Liao said, "And for your dragon egg to hatch, you need at least ten kilograms of hatching liquid."
Ten kilograms equals ten thousand grams.
One gram equals one billion.
Which means, buying ten kilograms of Divine Egg No. 1 Hatching Liquid would cost ten trillion Alliance Coins.
Li Cunxu estimated that even if he converted all the treasures from the Crystal Palace into money, it might not be enough.
Moreover, this only shortens the hatching time of the dragon egg by nine thousand nine hundred years, there is still a hundred years of hatching time needed to be waited out.
Dr. Liao advised, "For this dragon egg, my suggestion is to give it up. Even if you manage to get ten kilograms of Divine Egg No. 1 Hatching Liquid, after waiting a hundred years, it still won't hatch."
"Why?"
"From my observation, this dragon egg only has ten years of vitality left. After ten years, if the dragon hasn't hatched, it will be a dead egg, even the Divine Egg No. 1 Hatching Liquid won't save it."
Li Cunxu left the school hospital, followed by the Crystal Shrimp General holding the dragon egg with a face full of despair.
Dr. Liao's diagnosis, the Crystal Shrimp General also heard it outside.
The Crystal Shrimp General didn't believe it, so Li Cunxu consulted several other doctors, and their conclusions were not much different, the dragon egg was hopeless.
Li Cunxu said, "Don't lose heart, cheer up, there's one last hope."
Li Cunxu planned to consult the Shendu Principal.
If even he had no solutions, then it would truly be impossible to hatch this dragon egg.
Apart from the dragon egg issue, Li Cunxu also wanted to ask the principal to check his body, where exactly the two Blood Cultists on Bengma Island had tampered with, causing the Great Mist Celestial Whale's hostility toward him.
The principal happened to be in the office.
"Principal, can you help me see if there's a way to speed up the hatching of this egg?"
Li Cunxu waved the dragon egg in his hand.
The principal stopped his pen, lifted his head slightly, and looked over.
A surge of spiritual power lifted the dragon egg to the principal.
The principal examined it carefully before the dragon egg returned to Li Cunxu's hands.
Li Cunxu asked, "Not even you, Principal, can do anything?"
The principal said, "The path to salvation is in your hands."
"In my hands?"
Li Cunxu was dumbfounded for a long time, unable to think of anything in his hands that could help the dragon egg hatch faster.
The principal gently reminded him, "The opposing dragon."
Li Cunxu said, "Principal, are you saying the opposing dragon's blood can work?"
"Yes, the dragon within this egg is quite unique, possessing three attributes: light, darkness, and water, yet hasn't mastered any of them. The chance of a malformed dragon hatching is high. The solution is simple, let it master the attributes, and it will hatch faster. Light and darkness are opposing attributes; soaking the egg in the opposing dragon's blood will allow it to quickly harness these attributes."
"Once light and darkness are mastered, water remains alone. Mix it with the blood of a fire attribute dragon pet, place it in the soak, and soon, the dragon in the egg will gain an additional fire attribute. With the help of opposing dragon's blood, mastering all four attributes—light, darkness, water, and fire—will speed up the egg's development. This development will simultaneously absorb nutrients from the crystal shell, making it thinner."
This simple solution resolved the dragon egg's problem, as expected of the principal.
The virtual dragon on the bookshelf suddenly awakened.
It immediately wrapped around Li Cunxu.
"Have you developed the Slime that can work for me?"
Li Cunxu replied, "Not yet."
The virtual dragon expressed dissatisfaction: "Why so slow."
Suddenly, the notion to eliminate this useless individual arose within the virtual dragon.
The virtual dragon commented, "How curious, Xiao Cunxu, there's something on you that stirs a hint of hostility in me."
Li Cunxu shook his head, "I don't know either, I wanted to ask the principal to take a look."
The principal paused his signing pen once more, "Come over here, hand it over."
The principal held Li Cunxu's wrist for a long time and then summoned the illusory Spiritual Hand.
Li Cunxu, somewhat fearful, wanted to retreat as the Spiritual Hand reached towards his head.
The Spiritual Hand passed through his head, feeling around for a bit before extracting an illusory seed with a black magic lotus emblem from Li Cunxu's head.
Seeing this, Li Cunxu suddenly understood why the Thunderous Fierce Horse attacked him, why the Twelve Giant Clawed Octopus and the Good Deed Dolphin pursued him, and why the Great Mist Celestial Whale bore hostility towards him.
It turns out it was all due to Li Shiyin planting the seed of enmity.
Li Shiyin is dead, but the Demon Lotus Eye Pupil Technique: Seed of Enmity had not dissipated.
Li Cunxu suddenly realized why his uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle's families were wiped out, triggered by the enmity awakened by the Seed of Enmity.
"That bastard Li Shiyin, never at peace even after death."
