Seeing that frost's evolution didn't work, Zhang Xuan didn't think about it anymore.
He wanted to help Little Moon evolve, but he did not want to force her to do something she could not. Thus, he decided to get back on the right track and choose one of the three paths: wind evolution, moonlight evolution, or royal evolution.
Next, Zhang Xuan started to search for the specific methods of the three paths. After half an hour of summary, Zhang Xuan realized that the three evolution paths required different evolution support materials.
Each path required the support of the corresponding special materials. The material required for wind evolution was called wind crystal, while the special material required for moonlight evolution was called moon crystal.
As for the requirements for the royal evolution, they were even more special. Other than the aid of certain materials, they also needed to be acknowledged by the Silver Moon wolves to prove that Little Moon had the royal grade potential, and only then could this evolutionary path succeed.
Looking at the conditions recorded in the book, Zhang Xuan was a little troubled.
Wind crystals and moon crystals were two types of natural energy bodies. Of course, they were not formed from real wind and moonlight. Moonlight and wind were ethereal to begin with, so it was impossible for them to complete the crystallization on their own.
These two things were energy crystals formed from the stimulation of the elemental energy from the corresponding elemental-type familiar.
The wind crystal was the result of a wind-element familiar staying in one place all year round and influencing it with its own power.
As for moon crystals, they were formed by the influence of light elemental familiars, and at the same time, the familiars had to possess the moonlight attribute. The conditions were even more stringent.
Such harsh formation conditions meant that the price of these two materials was very expensive.
If Zhang Xuan remembered correctly, a wind crystal was worth at least a few hundred thousand on the market, and a moon crystal could even go up to a million.
Although the cultivation center's business was getting better, Zhang Xuan couldn't afford to buy these two materials.
Of course, Zhang Xuan had another way. He had quite a lot of earth spirit essence in his hands, and its size could barely be compared to the two elemental crystals. If Zhang Xuan was willing, he could exchange it for earth spirit essence.
However, a valuable item like the earth spirit essence would easily attract attention, so Zhang Xuan didn't want to expose it unless he had no choice.
As for the Silver Moon Wolf pack, it was easy to deal with. There was no lack of familiars like them in the wilderness.
However, if Zhang Xuan wanted the royal evolution by fusing wind and moonlight at the same time, he would need the help of wind crystals or moon crystals.
Closing the book in front of him, Zhang Xuan sighed. 'I can't afford it. It seems I have to go to the cultivation world to gain some resources.'
That afternoon, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon back to the cultivation center to see if he could find suitable materials.
After instructing Yan Xinyue to look after the shop, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon to the bedroom. After the small sword symbol on the back of his hand flashed, he and the others arrived at the rental house in the world of cultivation.
After coming to the world of cultivation, Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry to act. The best way to find wind crystals and moon crystals was to go to the wilderness.
The people in the world of immortal cultivators regarded demonic beasts as their mortal enemies and would not allow them to appear in cities. However, wind crystals and moon crystals required the influence of corresponding demonic beasts, so they were very difficult to find in cities.
Moreover, even if there were such things in the city, the people in this world would not collect them. This was because these materials were of no use to them. Thus, if Zhang Xuan wanted to find materials, he had to go deep into the wilderness.
It was already late, and the wilderness was filled with danger. Zhang Xuan decided to do it the next morning.
The next morning, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon out of Yuan Wu City and headed straight for the mountains.
He came in a hurry and didn't have time to gather information. He also didn't know where to find wind crystals and moon Crystals, so he could only search aimlessly.
After wandering in the wilderness for a while, Zhang Xuan found nothing. In the end, he decided to go to the valley he had visited last time.
There was a large amount of moon dew grass there, which would easily attract many demon beasts. There might be some elemental demon beasts too. With this, he might be able to find wind crystals or moon crystals.
At the entrance of the valley, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon in. However, just as they stepped into the valley, they heard two fierce roars.
Roar!
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Beside him, Little Moon's fur stood on end as she retreated while roaring.
Zhang Xuan realized that things weren't good. To be able to make Little Moon so afraid, the other party must be at least a silver-level demonic beast.
Before Zhang Xuan could react, the two bears charged out of the valley and attacked Zhang Xuan and Little Moon!
In the process of charging, the silver fur on the backs of the two bears were like silver lines in Zhang Xuan's eyes.
Zhang Xuan immediately understood. These two bears were the parents of the young Ironback Bear. When they matured, they had already evolved from Ironback Bear to Silverback Bear, and their strength had also reached silver level.
Whether it was a demonic beast or a familiar, every large evolution level was like a huge chasm. Although Little Moon was a bronze level 9 and was about to become a silver-level familiar, she had no chance of winning against a Silverback Bear that was one rank higher than her.
The best choice now was to run!
In the face of danger, Zhang Xuan was extremely decisive. He immediately took out the talismans he had prepared earlier and applied the wind-controlling talismans on himself and Little Moon, then ran back without looking back.
Little Moon wasn't a slow-witted wolf. Her intense sense of danger told her that she was no match for the two giant bears, so she ran without hesitation.
Fortunately, with the help of the talismans, Zhang Xuan and Little Moon's speed increased by a lot. Although the Ironback Bear had a large and robust body, it was still a bit slower.
The man and wolf quickly shook them off.
During the escape, Zhang Xuan was confused. Although he and Little Moon had killed the bear cub, it had been more than ten days since they last came here.
When the bear cub died, its parents were not present. Then why did the two Silverback Bears recognize him at a glance and wanted to kill him?
Just as Zhang Xuan was thinking about this, deafening rumbles came from his left. At the same time, ear-piercing and noisy roars began to rise and fall.
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw dust flying from the left. Countless beasts and monsters were charging toward him.
The Lightning Tiger with unparalleled speed, the Thunder Toad with a huge body and a thunder-like cry, the Gem Snake with deep scales, and the Golden Cloud Eagle with golden feathers in the sky.
Countless demonic beasts of different types and races were running around aimlessly. Their target wasn't Zhang Xuan but the unknown.
Zhang Xuan observed as he ran. He finally realized that the two Silverback Bears weren't after him, but that there was a beast tide!
The beast tide referred to the large-scale insurrection of countless wild beasts and demon beasts.
The specific reason was unknown. Perhaps it was because they were threatened, or perhaps the demonic beasts were attracted by something. But no matter what, Zhang Xuan and Little Moon were in a bad situation.
