“First update, everyone knows I write slow, so I can only try to see how many chapters I can explode. Also, thanks to this week's rcs Mu and Xiao Yu for the generous rewards, thanks to Leng Qiu, Wang Xiping, Shui Tianyi, Xie Cai Xng Bu, deepcccp, Yi Xiao, and Lao Huang Niu's little brothers and sisters for their rewards! Thank you, everyone!”
Ye Zhongming rarely released his aura; he had always been very reserved in this regard.
Because he knew that the only standard to judge whether a person was strong or not was how long they could survive in the apocalypse, rather than flaunting power to make others fear him.
No matter how powerful a person was, there would always be someone who was not afraid, someone who wanted to kill, and someone capable of killing.
Ye Zhongming hadn't lived enough, so he remained reserved.
However, when he heard about Chrysanthemum Cloud, he really couldn't hold back and unleashed his aura.
Because this thing was very important to him.
Faced with the seemingly man-eating gaze of someone with an actual level exceeding that of a seven-star evolver, Sani, who was only a five-star, simply couldn't handle it. His body felt weak, and he had his mouth half-open, unsure of what to say.
Seeing Ye Zhongming like this for the first time, Haman Dan was also shocked and quickly came over to ease the atmosphere. Only then did Ye Zhongming let go of Sani.
The cloud summit warriors around them also lowered their gun muzzles, relieving the tense situation that had just been in the air.
“Are you sure you want to find Chrysanthemum Cloud?” Ye Zhongming, though having released Sani, still stared at him as he asked.
Sani quickly nodded, thinking to himself if these East Asians were crazy.
Ye Zhongming instinctively clenched his fist.
Chrysanthemum Cloud was a type of stone flower, named so because its shape somewhat resembled a chrysanthemum hidden in the clouds. It was a companion organism, usually sprouting from the bodies of mutated plants after their death.
Its quantity was scarce, and not many knew about it, and its effects weren't particularly magical.
But this substance was a core material for a formula.
Primordial Ointment!
To be honest, Ye Zhongming knew about the formulas that pharmacists or alchemists could possess, and he knew a few of its core materials, but he didn't know the full content of the formula.
He could recall this formula entirely because... of the need for earth yellow pills.
Yes, the Primordial Ointment was one of the ways to recover the earth yellow pill from the side effects of the revenge storm.
As for how to restore the earth yellow pill and awaken it from its metallic state, Ye Zhongming knew several methods.
One was to find a Beast Master and have them use the highest level beast awakening technique.
However, this method was very difficult. The Beast Master profession was already rare, and due to the power of this profession only manifesting in the later stages, those who learned this main profession faced extreme difficulties in early development. In the apocalypse, the early stages were often the most dangerous times, and with fewer practitioners, even fewer could survive.
At least in the two years since the apocalypse, Ye Zhongming had yet to see a proper Beast Master, let alone one who had advanced to the highest level and possessed top-tier professional skills.
Class Promotion Scrolls, even Ye Zhongming could not acquire at this point, let alone a Beast Master surviving in the initial stages.
Even if Ye Zhongming started cultivating one himself from now on, he didn't know how long it would take.
The second method was to have large beast pool-type equipment, utilizing its nurturing function to gradually reverse the metallic state of the earth yellow pill.
But this was also extremely challenging. Beast pool equipment was already difficult to acquire, and large-scale ones were even more so. Up to now, the Demon Servicing Beehive in Ye Zhongming's possession was considered a type of this equipment, but it was merely small-scale. As for large-scale ones... Ye Zhongming had long communicated with forces like the Ogre Chain, indicating that price was not an issue.
