YM778.TV Chapter 428 Chapter 428 Death Powder Ascension
"Are you Kong Chuan?" Lin Shen asked, looking at the man from the Peacock Clan.
"Everything has a price tag. Take whatever you want and leave the money behind," the man from the Peacock Clan said expressionlessly.
"I am Tian, the new Head of the Celestial Masters\' Institution. Are you interested in coming back to work at the institution?" Lin Shen stated his purpose bluntly.
"Not going," Kong Chuan replied without even lifting his eyes, instantly refusing Lin Shen.
"Alright, whenever you want to return to the Celestial Masters\' Institution, come find me." Lin Shen left right after speaking, without saying anything more.
Kong Chuan was slightly surprised by Lin Shen\'s abrupt departure but didn\'t think much more about it.
He had heard about the recent situation of the Celestial Masters\' Institution, and he didn\'t believe that an Ascension Level human could really revive the institution.
Even backed by the Heavenly Emperor and Little Imperial Uncle, reestablishing the Celestial Masters\' Institution would still be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
The Celestial Masters\' Institution occupied an awkward position between the Heavenly Emperor and the Celestial Academy, having to endure grievances from both sides. The previous head of the institution was already an experienced member of the Celestial Race, with both status and influence, and strong connections within his race.
Even so, he eventually met his end by the hand of the Celestial Academy Dean.
How could a person without a foundation, ability, connections, and who was from another race, possibly revive the Celestial Masters\' Institution.
The final outcome seemed to be destined to be death—whether at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor or the Celestial Academy—it was simply a dead end.
Lin Shen didn\'t insist, aware that he had no leverage to persuade Kong Chuan. To have someone risk their life for him, unless Kong Chuan had no choice and was willing to do so on his own, nothing he said would be useful.
"No one it is, then. I wasn\'t planning on using force anyway," Lin Shen returned to his living quarters with the newly acquired conch shell, intending to awaken the Fire Seed first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got back to his place, he received good news.
The pet egg he had won from the Shaggy Old Celestial had been placed into an incubator, and now the incubator was indicating that the pet egg was about to hatch.
"Wonder what kind of pet it is?" Lin Shen waited for the creature inside the egg to break out.
After several hours, the pet still hadn\'t emerged from the shell when Wei Wufu walked out of his room.
"Death Powder... Ascension..." Before Lin Shen could say anything, Wei Wufu, who rarely spoke on his own initiative, began to speak.
"Death Powder has ascended? What Ascension Egg did you use to make it ascend?" Lin Shen asked in surprise.
"No... Ascension Egg... fed... Spirit Base... ascended..." Wei Wufu said and handed over the capsule and key belonging to Death Powder to Lin Shen.
"It ascended just by consuming a Spirit Base?" Lin Shen asked in surprise, taking the capsule and checking Death Powder\'s attributes.

Crushing Diary: First Turn Super-Base Life Base.
Strength: 81.
Speed: 81.
Hardness: 81.
Toughness: 81.
Base Talent: Crushing Diary, Fog of Mutation.
Crushing Diary: Records the data of crushed creatures. By analyzing the data, one can discover the creature\'s weakness.
Mutant: Can use the data recorded in the Crushing Diary to temporarily induce mutation in the host. The effects of the mutation are determined by the data of the crushed creature.
Lin Shen was somewhat uncertain whether the Death Powder\'s Double Life Base talent was strong or weak.
One must first devour a creature and then be able to find out the creature\'s weakness, which seemed to be of little use.
After all, once it\'s devoured, what use is there in knowing its weakness?
But on second thought, there are usually more than one of a kind of creature. For example, with the Celestial Race, if he let the Death Powder devour one of them first, he would know the weakness of the Celestial Race. Then, by facing other members of the Celestial Race, he could target their weaknesses.
It seemed somewhat useful again, but Lin Shen had the Acupoint Sealing skill of Fire Seed, which was equivalent to being able to see the opponent\'s weakness, so this skill seemed to be of little use again.
The Mutant had some use, though. The data analysed from the Crushing Diary could be used for Death Powder\'s own mutations, but the actual effects of the mutation would require experimentation.
In any case, the fact that Death Powder could ascend was a good thing for Lin Shen; he finally had an Ascension Level combatant by his side.
Lin Shen asked in detail about Death Powder\'s ascension process, and Wei Wufu took quite an effort to explain it.
He had been hunting Supersource Dragons on Ring Mountain Planet with Death Powder. He could digest only a limited amount of Spirit Base himself, so he fed most of it to Death Powder. After feeding it some more today, Death Powder unexpectedly ascended. The whole process was very smooth and did not produce any special conditions, nor did it manage to trigger the Cosmic Rainbow Light.
"Old Wei, we need to make a trip back to Giant Ring Star," Lin Shen relayed the details to Wei.
"Difficult," was all Wei said after listening.
"Isn\'t that the truth? I\'m really having a hard time. If I\'m not careful, the Heavenly Emperor will deal with me. If I do too well, the Celestial Academy will come looking for trouble with me. It\'s challenging on both fronts," Lin Shen sighed.
"Tian Xun... tough... you... really dog..." Wei Wufu added after him.
Lin Shen immediately felt embarrassed, "Old Wei, you know my situation. I really have no choice. If I don\'t go to Giant Ring Star, that old guy, the Heavenly Emperor, will not let me off. We could both end up dead."
"Tian Xun... you... peace and Chi... I help you..." Wei Wufu said nonchalantly.
"Alright, I\'ll figure out something for Tian Xun\'s side myself. If there\'s no other way, I\'ll just consider it a loan from her, and I\'ll pay her back later," Lin Shen thought it over. If there really was no other solution, he could compensate Tian Xun with his share later. Whatever he could make up, he would; if that wasn\'t enough, he\'d find another way to compensate her. Experience tales at empire
Lin Shen also knew this was not a long-term plan. If this matter was really settled, then every time resources were turned over to Giant Ring Star, they would have to be handed over according to the standards of this time. Lin Shen couldn\'t possibly compensate Tian Xun every time.
So, he was also very troubled and could only say that the old man, the Heavenly Emperor, was truly too insidious.
"That old man, he deserves to be cuckolded," Lin Shen secretly cursed the Heavenly Emperor in his heart.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the Heavenly Emperor, who was soaking in a hot spring with several Imperial Consorts, suddenly sneezed several times.
"Your Majesty, who is thinking about you again?" One of the Imperial Consorts swam up to the Heavenly Emperor and cooed.
There is a folk saying that sneezing means someone is thinking of you.
"What, isn\'t it you, my beloved Imperial Consort, who\'s thinking of me? Then you must be punished," the Heavenly Emperor pulled the consort into his arms with a laugh.
