Chapter 1039 A New Refining Method


    Before leaving Evian City, Rocky made arrangements to purchase arge number ofb supplies, tools


    and materials. After everything was readied, he set out for the Myriad Beasts Ground.


    He arrived there two dayster. It didn''t take long for him to find the valley where he discovered the


    crystal refining notebook. The house in the valley was in shambles and barely standing, but it was still


    there.


    For Rocky, this valley was the best ce for him to cultivate. The Myriad Beasts Ground was a natural


    field for experiment. The valley was wide and the soil was fertile. It was very suitable for breeding Dark


    Heaven Insects and theirrvae. In addition, there were all kinds of equipment for refining spiritual


    crystal in the house.


    It took Rocky a whole day to repair the house, enough for him to use it. He also built a wooden fence to


    securely breed the Dark Heaven Insects andrvae, as well as the Fire Rock Turtle he had just


    captured. In addition, he also moved the body of the ancient spiritual beast from the Magic Spiritual


    Space to the north side of the valley, in order to let it absorb the spiritual power of the Myriad Beasts


    Ground. Since the body of the ancient spiritual beast was not made of iron, it needed another way to


    replenish spiritual power.


    After Rocky transformed the valley into his own personal research base, he started to do gic


    experiments. He also began refining spiritual crystals. In his spare time, he tamed the Fire Rock Turtle,


    and went out hunting with Robin and Ken to improve their strength. Of course, the most important thing


    was to refine the Holy Spirit Panacea. For him, refining the Holy Spirit Panacea was the fastest way to


    improve his strength.


    In the first few days, Rocky went deep into the Myriad Beasts Ground daily to visit the remains of the


    Butterfly Divine n. Additionally, he wanted to see if he could run into Cherry. Back when he was in


    the Hell of Dragon Fang, the beautiful woman from the spiritual race had mentioned Cherry. She


    seemed to know her well, so he figured that Cherry might also know that beautiful woman, too.


    However, his trips proved futile. Despite going there on a daily basis, he ran into nobody, so heter


    gave up and focused all his efforts on cultivating and researching back in the valley.


    A month had passed before Rocky finally made a breakthrough in his experiments on gic


    modification of the four Dark Heaven Insectrvae. The gene of thervae had sessfully mutated!


    With this new mutated gene, thervae grew faster and stronger than all the otherrvae.


    "Next, I think I can do experiments on thest tworvae," Rocky said to himself happily. Because of


    the sessful gene mutation, Rocky developed a way to make thervae mutate. As long as he


    continued with the experiment, it wouldn''t be long before he could sessfully make thervae break


    past the original star level limit.


    In addition to the sess in the gic modification experiment, Rocky had also seeded in taming


    the Fire Rock Turtle. While the Fire Rock Turtle might have been timid and gentle from the start, after


    being tamed, it was very quiet, like a sheep.


    What bothered Rocky the most was the refining of the spiritual crystal. When he had just arrived at the


    valley, he tried to carry out thest stage of refining the first spiritual crystal, but failed. Since then, no


    progress had been made. A month had gone by yet he still had not found a way toplete thest


    stage of the refining of the spiritual crystal.


    Therefore, Rocky had no choice but to start from square one. He figured he might''ve gone wrong


    somewhere along the way, so he tried changing up the equipment and materials. In a word, he


    exhausted all methods.


    Another month passed.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    As the gene experiments went smoothly, Rocky suddenly came up with a new idea. This time, he


    experimented on the Fire Rock Turtle. The Fire Rock Turtle was even rarer than the Dark Heaven


    Insect, and the ethereal crystal it produced was more valuable than the Dark Heaven Egg. However, he


    was a bit cautious; he had only one Fire Rock Turtle, after all. Additionally, now he had only a little


    magical saliva left, so he could not speed up the production of ethereal crystals. Because of this, he


    tried to be strategic in his usage of such a rare resource. ''Efficiency is key, '' he mumbled to himself.


    Atst, Rocky thought of a new experiment: asexual reproduction. It excited him no end because, not


    only could it serve as research rted to genes, but also, it could increase the number of Fire Rock


    Turtles!


    Of course, asexual reproduction had to be done on females. In fact, Rocky had long wanted to try this


    before, but all his Dark Heaven Insects he captured were male. Additionally, the Dark Heaven Insect


    Queen itself could already reproduce asexually, so he really had no chance to carry out this


    experiment.


    Fortunately, the Fire Rock Turtle he caught happened to be female, and it could not reproduce


    asexually. The Fire Rock Turtle looked like a spirit-manipted beast hatched from an egg, but to


    Rocky''s pleasant surprise, he found that it hadplete ovaries. Therefore, it could not get pregnant


    until it had sex with a male, which provided more impetus for the asexual reproduction experiment.


    However, if Rocky experimented using an ordinary male spirit-manipted beast with the Fire Rock


    Turtle, their progeny might not carry the same traits as its mother — namely, the ability to produce


    ethereal crystals. Therefore, the only possible way was to carry out the experiment on the three


    matured male Dark Heaven Insects and Fire Rock Turtle. As long as one seeded, then all the other


    problems would be solved.


    Of course, it would take at least a few months before he knew whether the experiment was sessful.


    Another two months passed. By now, Rocky had been in the valley for a total of four months.


    So far, three of the sixrvae had survived the gene experiments, and the other three had died from


    gic diseases. It was a pity that the threervae died, but the remaining three could be considered


    the miraculous products of this era. They had allpleted the breakthrough of the limit of star level! In


    fact, these three had broken through from the three-star level to the four-star level. Although they had


    only grown to the two-star level, they could already produce low-grade Dark Heaven Eggs. Because of


    gene mutation, the low-grade Dark Heaven Eggs produced by them were one grade higher than the


    low-grade Dark Heaven Egg produced by the normal Dark Heaven Insect of the three-star level.


    What pleased Rocky the most, however, was that after months of continuous trial and error, he finally


    made a breakthrough in the refining of the spiritual crystal. He hade up with a new refining


    method. Although this refining method took a longer time than the previous refining method, he could


    refine it in greater quantities with higher efficiency. Most importantly, this method was very simple. He


    could refine the crystal in body of the spirit-manipted beast directly. That was to say, the body of the


    spirit-manipted beast was like a furnace.
