Chapter 462: Chapter 264: The Awakening Soul-Controlling Flower

Zhong Yi simply recalled Cao Xing’an into his Soul Base. From now on, Cao Xing’an would work for Zhong Yi nonstop, day and night, from within the Soul Base.

As a Six-finger Creator, Cao Xing’an would have to carefully cultivate all of the Guardian Beasts Zhong Yi kept in his Soul Base.

In truth, Zhong Yi wasn’t particularly satisfied with Cao Xing’an’s advancement.

After all, despite being nurtured by the Soul Nourishing Gu Mother’s Exclusive Trait, Insect Soul Nourishment, the former Five-finger Peak Creator had only become a Six-finger Low Tier Creator.

He hadn’t awakened a Six-finger Dharma Aspect like Tao En had at the time.

Now under the control of the Illusion Body, Cao Xing’an would no longer be able to advance his Creator level like a truly living Creator.

However, a Six-finger Low Tier Creator was already enough for Zhong Yi’s purposes.

Tao En was quite surprised by Zhong Yi’s methods for controlling Cao Xing’an, but he wasn’t overly shocked.

After all, Zhong Yi was currently developing his presence on the Virtual Source Network, so the Guardian Beasts he had under Contract were no longer confined to the Guardian Beast World.

"Young Master, this box is filled with Cao Xing’an’s personal Storage Pouches. They should contain all of his prized possessions."

"As for the materials we obtained from the Cao and Ju Families, I’ve already handed them over to Zhao Kai. He’ll organize them and place them in the Soul Soil’s Treasure Vault."

Zhong Yi didn’t reach for the box on the table, instead saying to Tao En,

"Elder Tao, give the contents of this box to Brother Zhao to organize as well."

"You concoct Fifth and Sixth Level Potions, so you should be able to use many of the materials in here."

"Just have Brother Zhao prepare a detailed inventory list when he’s done."

This reminded Zhong Yi of Taya from the Lion Heart Association.

’With Taya’s skill in organizing and gathering information, she’d be the perfect warehouse manager for a faction.’

Cao Xing’an’s personal collection wasn’t limited to this one box; he had stored all the truly valuable items inside his Soul Base.

Without the owner’s consent, it was nearly impossible to retrieve materials stored inside a Soul Base using external force.

But Zhong Yi was controlling Cao Xing’an via the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot’s Illusion Body.

This allowed Zhong Yi to retrieve every last one of the materials from within Cao Xing’an’s Soul Base.

Ever since exchanging for resources in the Chasing Light Dragon Palace’s Treasure Vault,

Zhong Yi’s standards had risen dramatically compared to before.

Many of the items Cao Xing’an had stored in his Soul Base were primary ingredients for Sixth Level Potions.

Zhong Yi planned to hand all these primary ingredients for Sixth Level Potions over to Tao En after they were sorted.

He would have them turned from primary ingredients into bottle after bottle of Sixth Level Potions.

’Only then would the true value of these materials be realized!’

Among Cao Xing’an’s collected materials, Zhong Yi discovered something that greatly intrigued him.

It was a material that was also extremely important for his current development.

The material was called Pregnant Insect Essence.

Pregnant Insect Essence was not a natural material.

Instead, it was concocted by Five-finger Creators. They would use the sap of a specific plant to extract Insect Protein from various Insect Guardian Beasts with powerful reproductive abilities and then blend it all together.

The process of concocting Pregnant Insect Essence was extremely cruel. The sample in Cao Xing’an’s collection amounted to nearly 100 milliliters.

Zhong Yi used All Things Exploration to inspect the Pregnant Insect Essence. It contained Insect Protein extracted from the bodies of several thousand Mother Insects.

Cao Xing’an specialized in Insect Guardian Beasts, so this Pregnant Insect Essence was likely prepared for his own Guardian Beasts.

Among the Insect Guardian Beasts Zhong Yi had under Contract, the Soul Nourishing Gu Mother, the Crystal Seal Star Bee, and the Golden Mayfly were all considered Mother Insects.

After using the Pregnant Insect Essence, these Mother Insects could birth a massive number of Sub-Worms in an extremely short period of time.

It could also be used to help some kind of difficult-to-hatch Insect-type Exotic Beast emerge from its embryonic state.

This batch of Pregnant Insect Essence must have taken Cao Xing’an at least several years to accumulate.

Zhong Yi searched through Cao Xing’an’s Soul Base but found no Insect-type Exotic Beasts awaiting incubation.

’I wonder what Cao Xing’an went to all that trouble for. What did he plan to do with the Pregnant Insect Essence he concocted?’

Now that it was in his hands, Zhong Yi had no intention of using it on his own combat-focused Guardian Beasts.

Zhong Yi planned to give it to the Creation Fertility Ant Queen.

He would have the Creation Fertility Ant Queen use these nearly one hundred milliliters of Pregnant Insect Essence to accelerate the hatching of the Ant Successor Embryo that had been converted from the Deceit Knight and the Prince of Deceit.

Right now, Zhong Yi desperately needed two Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level combatants he could command at will.

This was especially true because the Lifebound Deceit Beasts of the Deceit Knight and the Prince of Deceit could work in tandem.

Once converted into Ant Successors, the two of them could still achieve a synergistic effect where one plus one was greater than two.

"Elder Tao, have you logged into the Virtual Source Network much lately?"

Tao En shook his head.

"Young Master, for the past few days, I’ve been in Longya City, busy killing people."

"And since arriving in Starlight City, I’ve been busy concocting Potions."

"During the time my soul hadn’t recovered, I couldn’t log into the Virtual Source Network via the Source Material Celestial Shuttle either."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi’s tone became extremely serious as he said,

"Elder Tao, you should really try to log into the Virtual Source Network more often in the future."

"Since you don’t log in much, I assume you also don’t know about the Wanyu Creation Company, an official faction founded by those they call ’Creators’."

Zhong Yi had originally thought that even if they didn’t log into the Virtual Source Network often, they would most likely know the online term for their Creator profession.

He never would have thought that Tao En didn’t even know what that term—’Creator’—was.

Zhong Yi proceeded to give Tao En a detailed explanation.

Tao En’s eyes lit up as he listened to Zhong Yi’s explanation.

"Young Master, based on what you’re saying, doesn’t that make the Wanyu Creation Company the equivalent of our real-world federation’s Craftsmen’s Guild?"
