Chapter 845 845: This is Your Only Chance!
Whether taming the egg using her [Sword of Disaster] or extracting its Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline and giving it to her Wind-Riding Bird, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
If Tang Li Xue chose to tame the egg using her [Sword of Disaster], she might be able to quickly get an extremely powerful thug, but the disadvantage was also huge.
First, she would not be able to let out this extremely powerful thug in front of others carelessly, or the others would definitely suspect her of having a close relationship with the Undead Race.
Second, if the Undead Race accidentally saw the extremely powerful thug in her control someday, there would be a high chance that they could guess that the [Sword of Disaster] in her possession was actually their long-missing [Key of Undead's Glory]!
At that time, she would have to face relentless pursuit of the entire Undead Race!
If Tang Li Xue chose to give the Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline to her Wind-Riding Bird, it would surely take a long time for her Wind-Riding Bird to merge with the Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline, so the Wind-Riding Bird would not be able to help her for a very long time.
Not to mention that the process would be extremely painful and dangerous, Tang Li Xue might have to use a lot of treasures to help the Wind-Riding Bird complete the process.
Little Loki, Yaya, and the Phoenix of Pride were already a group of big eaters, If she added another Wind-Riding Bird with Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline... Tang Li Xue did not even dare to imagine how her poor wallet could feed all of them.
Tang Li Xue still did not dare to make any decision rashly since her current choice would surely affect her future.
She bit her pink lips in frustration and asked her System: "System, the egg's description said that it needs 420 years before hatching naturally. What would happen if I tried to hatch it prematurely after I tame it with my [Sword of Disaster]?"
[The egg needs 420 years to hatch naturally because it completely lacks the necessary nutrition, so it can only slowly accumulate it by absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.]
[If the Host stored it inside the [Key of Undead's Glory]'s space, and it would get nurtured continuously by the abundant Death Energy, then that egg would only need 8 years to hatch naturally.]
[At that time, the purity of its Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline would be saturated at 15%, then its strength and potential would be greatly improved.]
[Of course, Host can also choose to prematurely hatch it to quickly obtain a powerful bodyguard, but the purity of its Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline would only stay at the current 11.6%.]
"15% Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline purity?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed as she took a deep breath in astonishment.
Don't think that 15% was too little, but in fact, it was already about one-seventh of 100% purity, and it was still just a newly hatched chick.
Tang Li Xue's thought silently tilted toward taming the egg more and more...
[But System still strongly suggests Host to transfer the Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline to another bird-type beast.]
"Why?" Tang Li Xue skeptically asked while frowning deeply in disagreement.
[Has Host completely forgotten that this egg already died and transformed into an undead creature?]
[It means it would no longer be able to evolve like the normal beast. It can only cultivate like other undead creatures by devouring the essence of other living creatures. In short, its Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline purity would always stay at that level unable to progress further anymore.]
Tang Li Xue instantly felt dizzy as if her head was struck heavily by lightning when she read her System's explanation.
"Damn, you are right~! How the heck could I forget about that?!" Tang Li Xue said in frustration while slapping her forehead.
Then Tang Li Xue shook her head helplessly while muttering in a hesitant tone: "But I really doubt that I can extract the Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline from that egg with my current skills. Not to mention, there is still a high chance that my Wind-Riding Bird would not be able to merge with the Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline with its current strength, then it would explode and die instead in the end."
[That is undoubtedly 100% true. With Host's current mastery of [Essense Devouring Technique] and [Energy Manipulation], it would be completely impossible for Host to do it by herself. Host would only ruin the egg and force it to hatch prematurely instead.]
[Furthermore, Host's Wind-Riding Bird is far too weak. Even if it does not explode and die, how long do you think it would take to completely digest and merge with tens of thousands of years' worth of ancient mythical bloodline accumulation?]
[But Host does not need to worry~! This most dependable System can help the Host solve all of these problems perfectly in one click!]
[Host only needs to pay 5,000 Deity Coins, and the System will automatically extract the Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline from that egg and transfer it to Host's Wind-Riding Bird! Guaranteed 100% safe and fast without leaving any sequelae!]
Tang Li Xue was completely dumbfounded and even her pink lips twitched violently after she read her System's sudden sales-like offer.
"No wonder you are so kind and talkative today... So, this is your true purpose from the very start! You heartless System, you actually want to suck my wallet dry~!" Tang Li Xue accused her System angrily.
[Host, please stop falsely accusing this innocent System. The system would only offer the best option for the Host.]
[5000 Deity Coins to get the future Golden-Winged Great Peng are not expensive at all!]
[Host, please imagine if your Wind-Riding Bird can truly evolve into Golden-Winged Great Peng in the future, as a stunningly beautiful fox deity, you ride Golden-Winged Great Peng as your mount while traveling around the world.]
[All immortals, demons, gods, deities, and even your Uncle Sun would surely envy you to death, right?]
[What are you waiting for?! This is your only chance to have the same pet as Tathagata Buddha!]
Tang Li Xue's saliva almost dripped when she imagined it according to her System's words, but she quickly wiped it with her sleeve.
She had to admit that her System's offer was fatally attractive to her.
"PAY~! You are right, this is my only chance to get it!" Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and shouted in a very excited tone.
[Great~! Now, Host only needs to touch that egg and your Wind-Riding Bird, then leave it all to System!]
Tang Li Xue crouched down and carefully took the pitch-black egg with her right hand.
Then Tang Li Xue took out her Wind-Riding Bird from her mid-rank space pouch.
"KWEEH~! KWEEH~! KWEEH~!" The white Wind-Riding Bird chirped while snuggling at Tang Li Xue's chest.
Tang Li Xue gently caressed her white Wind-Riding Bird's head and explained the matter of bloodline transfer to it: "Okay, listen to me..."
Despite Tang Li Xue already mentioned the risk of exploding and dying, the white Wind-Riding Bird was still extremely excited after it heard about the chance to evolve into Golden-Winged Great Peng.
Tang Li Xue could only sigh helplessly when she saw the extremely excited Wind-Riding Bird.
At first, Tang Li Xue only wanted to hear about the Wind-Riding Bird's own choice, so she decided to ask it first.
If the Wind-Riding Bird was afraid and refused to accept the bloodline transfer, then Tang Li Xue would choose to tame this egg instead.
But she clearly far underestimated the fatal attraction of evolving into a mythical beast.
Even if the chance of success was only less than 1%, any beasts who did not have any chance to evolve further like Wind-Riding Bird would definitely choose to take it without any hesitation.
Just like many human cultivators, they would also kill each other and even dare to face extremely dangerous heavenly tribulations in order to improve their cultivation and become immortals.
*Ding~!
[Do you want to transfer the [Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline] from the [Egg of Golden Winged Falcon] to [Wind-Riding Bird] at the cost of 5,000 Deity Coins? Yes/No]
"5000 Deity Coins... It is so much... System, can you please give me a discount this time? Just 20%... No, 30% discount is enough, okay~?!" Tang Li Xue tried to bargain with her System in a pleading tone.
But this time, her System no longer reacted as if it could not hear Tang Li Xue's words anymore.
"What a damn heartless stingy system~!" Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth and complained in an angry tone.
Tang Li Xue only managed to save around six thousand Deity Coins so far, so it was not strange that she felt great heartache when she suddenly had to spend 5000 Deity Coins at once right now.
After hesitating for a few moments, Tang Li Xue took a deep breath and finally chose 'Yes'.
WEEEEEEENG~!
The blinding golden light shrouded the pitch-black egg and the white Wind Riding Bird!
The entire dark egg incubation room was illuminated by the bright golden light in that instant!
The terrifying palpitating aura emitted by the pitch-black egg quickly faded away as the process of bloodline transfer began!
The surrounding zombified baby creatures were no longer afraid to jump into the dried spiritual pool and charge at Tang Li Xue's group!
[Bloodline transferring process has begun. Please Host never take your hands off the egg and Wind Riding Bird, or the transferring process will fail and Host will lose both the egg and Wind Riding Bird forever!]
[Bloodline transfer completion progress rate is at: 1%... 2%... 3%...]
"Oh, sh*t~! Damn you System, why didn't you tell me about this before?!" Tang Li Xue shouted in rage as she saw the hundreds of zombified baby creatures charging toward her swiftly!
