B2 - Chapter 56

There was still nearly an hour till Lan Yang was set to return, and there wasnt much to do here.

Without Wang Xiaoling drawing all his attention, William finally bothered to take in the details of the dwelling. Lan Yang was right when he said there wasnt much to see.

The living room had upgraded seating compared to the dwelling in the Outer Court, with some empty shelves for storage. There were two doors leading to other rooms. One was to the bedroom that Wang Xiaoling decided to use, and the other he assumed was the Qi refining room.

Lan Yang did say that it was slightly better than the one in the Outer Courts dwelling, but with Elder Yu likely having a hand in assigning the dwelling to him, he still had hope for more.

William stood from his seat to see if a surprise was in store, still holding onto the chest tightly. The signs werent good when he peered inside.

Cultivating wasnt something he was too concerned about unless it was at the level of the Qi refining room at the auction house. And looking at the interior, it likely wasnt.

Still, he walked in to make sure. He closed the door behind him and sighed in disappointment when a voice didnt speak to ask which mode he preferred. That pretty much ruled out the martial arts training option.

He looked at the chest and wondered if it could cause an issue. The egg was strange, so it wouldnt surprise him if it did. Besides, there was no reason to still hold onto it. He should have stored it away after showing Wang Xiaoling the upgraded stone.

William shook his head and sent it into the spatial stone. Unfortunately, nothing changed.

Well, I tried, he said out loud. It was a reach anyway to expect something like that just given to him, and it wasnt a big issue.

He was relatively rich after gaining the Spirit Stones from Xu Feng, compared to the new disciples of the Inner Court. Since there were upgrades to be had, and he had the money to spend, he might as well spend the hour browsing the catalog while waiting for Lan Yang.

William returned to the living room and threw himself onto one of the plush armchairs before reaching into the spatial stone with his Qi to withdraw the catalog. It was a miracle he still possessed it after everything he had gone through since the last time he bothered to open it.

He flinched when his connection to the spatial stone snapped. It had become almost instinctual to store and remove whatever he wanted from his spatial stone and spatial ring. Having it fail was a shock.

Williams Qi pierced through the weakening dust storm and enveloped the egg, intending to yank it out of the spatial stone if necessary. Not only did he wish to save the Jingmu Shadows corpse, but he didnt want to leave the chance for the egg to get some bright ideas and make an attempt on the three spirit-severing treasures.

He pulled harshly, wanting to immediately get the egg out of the stone. It didnt work. The egg actually fought back and succeeded.

William could, and would, eventually use his previous force skill but with multiple times the power, but he noticed something strange. The eggs breathing almost disappeared.

It grew his curiosity.

As loathe as he was to admit it, there was no use in going to the Jade Cauldron Peak any longer. The beast corpses had to be written off, especially the Pyralisk. Since that was the case, and the egg had already started to feast on it, what would happen if he let it finish?

William was gifted this egg, and he had to try and get it hatched eventually. So it made more and more sense to let it do whatever it wanted, and hopefully, it would hatch something useful.

He didnt need to wait long. The head of the Pyralisk disintegrated seconds later, joining the dust cloud that filled the space. Not much longer after, the dust started to disappear foo, and a small swirl of air funneled everything right at the egg.

William looked around at the empty space as the breathing of the egg became more noticeable. He relied on himself to act if it hinted at a desire for the three spirit-severing treasures.

Thankful, it knew its place and proceeded to reluctantly consume the Jingmu Shadows corpse.

A few minutes later, the corpse was gone, and a harsh frown was on his face as he closely watched the rapid breathing of the egg. There was no doubt it had increased in rate, but nothing else

Williams eyes widened when the basic status of the egg changed. The number representing the level ticked up rapidly, flickering for a few seconds before it finally settled on what seemed to be the final number.

[Species: ? | Level: 38]

He now possessed an egg with a level equivalent to the third stage of Qi Gathering. That was ridiculous.
