As the auction came to an end, the streets gradually became quiet at night.
People slowly dispersed, occasionally talking about how exciting this auction was.
Jiang Ping also returned to Nalan's house, and after a few brief words with Nalan Yanran, he returned to his own room.
After returning to the room, Jiang Ping couldn't wait to take out the magic beast egg and examined it carefully.
The system automatically found out the information about this egg:
[Species: Ninth-level Magic Beast 'Torch Dragon' (unhatched)]
[Current hatching level: 1%]
[Natural hatching takes: 36,500 days!]
[Artificial incubation takes time: not yet clear!]
"What? More than 36,000 days? A hundred years?"
When Jiang Ping saw the hatching time, he was completely dumbfounded.
It will take a hundred years to hatch this egg?
Isn't this a scam?
He spent four hundred thousand gold coins and still has to wait a hundred years?
Who knows if he can live to a hundred years later?
And even if he can, by that time he might not even need it.
"Damn it, I got cheated!" Jiang Ping cursed under his breath, wishing he could pull the system out and confront it face to face.
If the system wasn't misleading people, he wouldn't have spent four hundred thousand gold coins to buy an egg that would take a hundred years to hatch!
[Natural incubation takes more than 36,000 days, but artificial incubation can shorten the time.]
"Artificial incubation? You want me to sit here and incubate it?"
Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment, then tried to gesture and put the egg under his butt. (Wtff??)
But this egg is almost as big as his butt, how can he hatch it?
[The host can use various pure energies to warm it and nourish it.]
Perhaps the system couldn't stand Jiang Ping's stupidity anymore, so it continued to explain.
"Oh, I need to use energy. That's what I told you." Jiang Ping finally understood and nodded.
"Pure energy... Green Lotus Core Flame should be an energy type."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ping had already thought of a way.
Then, he decisively summoned the Heavenly Flame in his palm, and without any hesitation, covered the Torch Dragon Egg with the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Despite the terrifying high temperature of the Heavenly Flame, the Torch Dragon Egg actually withstood it and seemed to be completely unharmed.
Jiang Ping paid close attention to the situation of the Egg, if he finds something wrong or the egg is getting cooked, he'll use other methods.
As time passed, the Torch Dragon egg was not cooked by Jiang Ping's Green Lotus Core Flame. Instead, he felt that the egg was slowly absorbing his Dou Qi.
"f**k! Is this a bottomless pit?"
Feeling the Dou Qi in his body being absorbed crazily, Jiang Ping's face changed. He quickly put away the Green Lotus Core Flame and put the Torch Dragon Egg aside.
He was almost about to have all his Dou Qi sucked away.
Jiang Ping took another look at the egg and found that its hatching stage had indeed changed!
[Species: Ninth-level Magic Beast Torch Dragon (unhatched)]
[Hatching degree: 1.05%]
"Shit, I was almost sucked dry, and it only hatched an extra 0.05%?!?"
Jiang Ping was completely stunned when he saw the numbers in the system.
Just now he felt like he was about to be sucked dry by the egg.
As a result, the hatching degree only increased by 0.05 percent?
Damn, is this thing that hard to hatch?
He is now a 2-Star Dou Spirit!
Jiang Ping's really started contemplating if to give up on it.
[It is recommended that the host seek more powerful energy to nourish. ]
"Don't just give me suggestions, if you have the ability, just help me hatch it." Jiang Ping complained helplessly.
If this was a system reward, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
However, this does not fall within the scope of system rewards, so the system cannot directly hatch this Torch Dragon egg.
"Forget it, I'll just have to keep it for now and talk about it later."
In the end, Jiang Ping could only put the egg away and hatch it when he had the chance.
...
Early the next morning.
Jiang Ping woke up early and found that Nalan's family was busy again.
Because today is the day for Nalan Jie to take the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva to detoxify.
When Nalan Su won the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva last night, he asked the Alchemist Association's Badge Master to help him refine it overnight.
This morning, the detoxification pill made from the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva had been delivered, so Nalan Su immediately prepared to detoxify Nalan Jie.
At this time, the entire Nalan family was on standby.
In Nalan Jie's room, besides Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su, Fa Ma was also there.
Jiang Ping came to the room and saw old man Nalan Jie lying on the bed.
The former powerful Dou King is now tortured by the branding poison and his face is thin and yellow, which is very worrying to look at.
Jiang Ping knew that if Nalan Jie didn't find a way to alleviate the erosion of the poison in his current state, then even a powerful Dou King would not be able to escape the fate of falling.
After Fa Ma used Spiritual Strength to carefully examine the condition inside Nalan Jie's body, he frowned.
"President Fa Ma, how is the old man doing?" Nalan Su, who was standing by, asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"The situation is not optimistic. Compared with the last time I saw him, the old man's brand has become much deeper and has already attached to his bones." Fa Ma looked solemn.
"Is it serious?" Nalan Yanran, who was standing by, heard this with a worried look on her face.
"Well, the old man's current situation can be said to be critical. If it weren't for his strong Dou Qi, an ordinary person would have died long ago." Fa Ma's expression became more and more solemn.
"I'm not sure whether this Pill is useful or not. I can only hope that it is." Fa Ma sighed lightly, and then let Nalan Jie take the Pill made from the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva.
Afterwards, Fa Ma helped Nalan Jie up and placed his hands on his back to help the Pill melt quickly.
As the medicine took effect, Nalan Jie's face slowly regained a hint of redness.
Seeing this, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
It was at this moment that Nalan Jie suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of black blood, with a hint of black gas on it.
His face turned pale again, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be enduring great pain.
"President Fa Ma, what's going on?!"
Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su were both shocked.
And Fa Ma's face also changed drastically.
"No, the Pill is not effective enough. It can only successfully draw the poison out of the old man's bones, but it can't dissolve it."
"Right now, the poison is wreaking havoc on the old man's body!"
This was the last thing he wanted to see.
Once the Pill cannot completely dissolve the poison, the poison will backfire wildly and endanger his life even more!
Faced with this situation, even Fa Ma was helpless, with beads of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
At this moment, Jiang Ping finally stepped forward and said:
"Let me do it."
