Ye Bai gradually observed them one by one through the Eye of Insight.

Finally, he discovered a pet beast that could evolve into a Strong Iron Armor Ant.

This pet beast was slightly larger than the typical Strong Iron Armor Ant, all plump and white, looking like a piglet waiting to be slaughtered.

[Evolutionary Path 1: Strong Iron Armor Ant Queen: Requires consumption of the information hormone secreted by the Ant Queen to induce the formation of an Ant Queen.]

Ye Bai....

Oh my, isn't this turning into the chicken-or-egg problem?

The Strong Iron Armor Ant needs to become an Ant Queen by consuming the information hormone secreted by the Ant Queen.

But I don't have the Ant Queen or the information hormone right now, so what should I do?

Ye Bai's brain was running at high speed, trying to figure out how to solve this problem.

Could it be that someone at the Imperial Capital Research Institute is specifically studying the signal hormones of ants?

So Ye Bai used Zhang Lingxue's account to carefully search through the school's system.

Indeed, there were people researching ant-type exotic beasts.

And they were studying the impact of hormones on ant-type exotic beasts.

Ye Bai thought this guy surely had the signal hormones secreted by the Ant Queen.

When Ye Bai visited, the doctor researching ants warmly welcomed him.

"Hello, I'm Wang Bo, responsible for researching signal hormones and their effects on ant-type exotic beasts."

Wang Bo showed Ye Bai around his entire lab, where a small hill was hollowed out by ants.

Numerous ants the size of thumbs were coming and going in the hill.

"I study the Bullet Ant."

"This is the smallest ant-type exotic beast in the world."

"It can be used as a sniper rifle bullet."

"However, it's not in the same category as the Drilling Armor Ant or Explosive Ant."

Wang Bo explained.

"I wonder what your purpose of visiting me is?"

After some polite exchanges, Wang Bo finally asked.

"I need the secretion hormone of the Ant Queen, do you have any extracted here, Wang Bo?"

"Price is negotiable."

Ye Bai stated his purpose.

Wang Bo immediately showed a troubled expression.

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat; does Wang Bo not have it here either?

That would be difficult!

Wang Bo seemed to have discerned Ye Bai's thoughts: "No, I have the queen's secretion hormone here, but it might not be very helpful for your research."

"Firstly, different ants secrete different signal hormones, so it may work for one tribe but not another."

"Secondly, my Bullet Ants are only this big, so the queen is only the size of a thumb."

"These signal hormones might not even be a milliliter, would they help your pet beast?"

Wang Bo expressed skepticism, as researchers need to base their work on reality and not defy natural growth laws.

The signal hormones Wang Bo provided were like a drop in the ocean for Ye Bai's research.

But who would have thought, next to Ye Bai was Lan Fa with a highly abnormal duplication talent?

Merely signal hormones, as long as there were enough crystal cores, Blue Hair could duplicate them.

"Wang Bo, this secretion hormone is very helpful to me; I hope to use it for some minor research."

"Of course, I'll purchase it from you at market price."

Wang Bo shook his head: "No need, I'll give it to you directly."

He stood up and took out a small test tube from a refrigerated box.

At the bottom of the test tube was a drop of azure liquid.

This was the signal hormone secreted by the Ant Queen.

"This signal hormone must be kept at a low temperature; if the temperature rises, the active enzyme substances will have issues."

"If you encounter any problems in research, feel free to ask me."

"In the field of myrmecology, I'm an expert."

Wang Bo boasted a bit.

He then placed the drop of signal hormone into a small refrigerated box.

"From my laboratory to your laboratory, it'll take about twenty minutes."

"You can use this refrigerated box to protect the signal hormone."

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Ye Bai was in a good mood.

Just then, a message came from the school's medical room, urging Ye Bai to hurry to the Imperial University Medical Center.

Ye Bai quickly put the precious signal hormone into his laboratory's refrigerated box.

He instructed Lan Fa to duplicate the signal hormone, and then hurriedly took Xiao Han and rushed out.

The Imperial University Medical Center is the central hospital set up beneath Imperial University, primarily serving the staff and students of the university.

There are a total of five buildings, each with over ten floors.

Ye Bai arrived at the inpatient department.

Here, he saw the chief regaining consciousness and appearing normal.

The chief, named Jiang Dongsheng, looked quite good at the moment.

He was sipping a cup of tea with small sips.

"Ye Bai, may I call you that?"

"My name is Jiang Dongsheng, Tier Six Pet Beast Master."

"I'm the chief of Imperial University's fourth year students."

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"The spore parasitizing my body has also appeared in my pet beast."

"Ye Bai, I hope you can lend me a hand."

"This is the reward I'm giving you."

Jiang Dongsheng handed a small box to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai discreetly opened it and took a peek.

Inside the small box bloomed a beautiful orchid.

The golden petals formed a full dragon.

The white leaves of the orchid looked like floating clouds.

He instantly recognized it as the very expensive Dragon God Orchid.

Every petal of the Dragon God Orchid enhances the soul, capable of easily dispelling curses from soul-element exotic beasts.
