The System Was Afraid the Source Water Spirit Crystal Would Gather Dust

Upon closer examination...

Xiao Ye looked bewildered again.

"Tongtong, you didn't do anything, how did you complete it, and how did you get an eleventh grade?"

The last time I received the rating of "Eleven" was when I became a disciple of Master Zun.

As the voice faded, the system voice sounded:

"It's precisely because Your Highness did nothing and reaped the benefits without lifting a finger that you received an eleventh-rank rating."

Xiao Ye was stunned.

"You can do that?"

"Of course," the system replied.

"Your Highness did not take action, but the objective has been achieved. The threat against the Ma Clan has been neutralized, and Your Highness will naturally receive a reward."

Xiao Ye pondered for a long time.

I've been preparing for this for so long.

Suddenly, the system told me that the mission was complete.

This sudden, unexpected sense of reaping the benefits...

Yes, that's really eye-opening.

And it seems pretty good?!

"Rewards are being distributed..."

The system's voice brought Xiao Ye back to his senses.

For a moment, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

During the last eleventh rating, I was given the incredibly valuable Thunder Holy Physique.

This time, I wonder what it will be.

The reward for this mission is: Thunder Dragon *1.

Xiao Ye was stunned, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

It's not because of the word "dragon".

After all, there are dragons in Master's backyard too.

Before coming to Hidden Origin Peak, Long's impression of him was that of someone powerful and Transcendent.

But Black Dragon's situation is truly disappointing.

Right now, what he cares about more is the word "egg".

With a thought, I entered the system.

Inside, an egg the size of two human heads appeared in front of Xiao Ye.

The eggshell is covered with scales, and faint blue lines are visible, seemingly mysterious but actually randomly distributed.

Upon closer inspection, faint arcs of lightning could be seen flickering on its surface. Although the aura was relatively weak, one could already sense a certain extraordinary power emanating from it.

A strange look appeared on Xiao Ye's face.

The egg in his hand seemed to resonate with the thunderous power within him.

"Is this a dragon egg?"

After observing carefully, Xiao Ye felt a little emotional.

"Only..."

Xiao Ye thought of something and glanced in the direction of Hidden Origin Peak.

"How should we explain the origin of this egg?"

According to the system's description, an adult Thunder Dragon's physical body and strength are fully capable of contending with a Saint Realm expert.

Suddenly, I have an egg...

"Never mind."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ye shook his head.

I secretly hatched the eggs myself first.

It was dusk.

Observing Chair, Lu Changzhi stretched and yawned.

Accompanied by crackling sounds.

Feeling completely relaxed.

At this moment, a system notification sounded:

"Disciple Xiao Ye has completed the mission—to resolve the Xiao Clan's predicament. Mission rating: eleven. Reward: Thunder Dragon *1."

"As the master, the host is granted one chance to draw a prize. The limited category is: Egg; the limited quality is: Sacred Beast."

"Um?"

Upon hearing the prompt, Lu Changzhi's reaction was exactly the same as Xiao Ye's.

"Did Xiao Ye quietly return to the Xiao Clan on his own?"

Lu Changzhi murmured to himself, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"No, Master, he wasn't involved in this."

The system responded sharply.

"He wasn't involved?" Lu Changzhi looked surprised.

"How was the mission completed?"

"Reporting to Master, the Ma Clan has been wiped out."

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow:

Did Cheng Qian make this?

I happened to bump into the other person bragging at the Ma Clan's place last time.

He had mentioned to himself at the time that he wanted to wipe out the Ma Clan.

Later, considering that it would provide Xiao Ye with experience, they didn't let him do it.

Unexpectedly, the Ma Clan was still wiped out.

"No, the Li Clan."

After the system finished speaking, it informed Lu Changzhi of the general situation.

In short, if it weren't for him replacing the pills, the Ma Clan might have climbed up to the Li Clan, or they might not have. But in any case, they wouldn't be being blamed for the pills now.

In other words, he indirectly participated and conveniently completed Xiao Ye's test.

After figuring out the situation, Lu Changzhi's expression turned strange.

"This truly kills two birds with one stone."

The butterfly effect: a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

Pulling his thoughts back, Lu Changzhi focused his attention on the system's prompts.

"Thunder Dragon?"

After glancing at the system's introduction, Lu Changzhi looked surprised.

Xiao Ye's system is incredibly generous with what it gives.

This egg may lack quality, but its grade is by no means low.

To put it simply, they're both dragons, but the Black Dragon in the backyard is nowhere near as good as the other.

Although the Thunder Dragon is not a member of the Sacred Beast Zhenglongqi, it still possesses a formidable bloodline.

Its growth rate and the height it reaches Changzhi are far beyond what the Black Dragon can match.

"His attributes are exactly the same as Xiao Ye's, and with the speed and physical strength of Dragon Race..."

Recalling the scene of Xiao Ye casting the spell, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

A dragon knight unleashing thunderous magic!

However, thinking about it is one thing.

Raising dragon eggs requires a considerable amount of resources.

The incubation process alone will probably take quite a while.

Without dwelling on it, Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"System, activate!"

As the sound faded, a shimmering light appeared.

Eggs of all shapes and sizes flashed by in a fleeting, whirlwind fashion.

Some are astonishingly large, while others are barely visible.

There are eggs, and it seems there are eggs too.

This continued for a short while.

The light stopped.

The next moment, a system notification sounded:

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Black Tortoise Egg *1."

As the voice faded, a large egg appeared in front of Lu Changzhi.

"Black Tortoise?"

Lu Changzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze swept over the egg in front of him. It seemed to have only recently appeared, yet its aura was already extraordinary.

With a thought, relevant information appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

[Black Tortoise Egg]: The egg of the sacred beast Black Tortoise requires a specific environment and corresponding resources to hatch. The hatching speed varies depending on the resources and environment. Resource usage during hatching will affect the initial growth rate after hatching. Black Tortoise is associated with water; using corresponding water-attribute resources will yield the best results...

"Water-related resources?"

Lu Changzhi smiled.

Right now, I happen to have the Origin of Water and the Source Water Spirit Crystal.

This is where the consumption goes.

That way, we can avoid the Source Water Spirit Crystal suffering a loss.

"Once the Black Tortoise hatches, Xiao Ming will have a companion."

Lu Changzhi was quite satisfied with this.

The name has already been decided.

To keep it simple, let's call him Xiao Wu.

Buy one, get one free; that makes two!

Mainly because I didn't have to put in much effort myself.

There's not much to say about this.

Thank you, Ma Clan!

At this moment, Lu Changzhi moved his divine sense and put away the Black Tortoise egg.

Outside, Gu Chen was walking briskly towards them.

"Master, do you have time?"

Gu Chen's voice came from outside the door.

What is it?

As soon as the sound faded, the door opened.

Gu Chen walked into the courtyard, his expression slightly unnatural. He looked at Lu Changzhi, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but find it amusing and said:

"Is there something you're having trouble saying?"
