A Light Brand Stone can only collect one light at a time, and since there are two lights to collect, two Light Brand Stones are needed.

Each Light and Shadow Shifter only possesses one Light Brand Stone within its body, so to acquire two stones, two Light and Shadow Shifters must be killed.

Although Light and Shadow Shifters aren't skilled in combat, they are still at King level, which is beyond Li Cunxu's ability to handle.

Li Cunxu checked the price on the Purple Gold Online Store.

Fortunately, Light Brand Stones aren't very useful; even though they are of King quality, the price is relatively cheap.

One Light Brand Stone costs only seventy-five Purple Gold Dragon Coins.

Li Cunxu murmured to himself, "Selling the Celestial Forged Black Gold crown and spear obtained from the Swamp War Lizard King should be enough to buy the Light Brand Stones."

Li Cunxu listed them for sale on the Purple Gold Online Store.

The selling process was convenient, with a courier coming to pick them up.

Half a day later, a Sky Crossing Seagull flew over from the sea horizon, taking the crown and spear away.

Before leaving, the Sky Crossing Seagull chattered in bird language.

Li Cunxu didn't ask the Curse Crow to translate the bird language. Seeing the Sky Crossing Seagull's muttering, there was no need for translation; it was obvious that it wasn't saying anything pleasant.

The Sky Crossing Seagull's complaints were understandable, considering the remote location of Bengma Island, with no villages or stores nearby and no teleportation arrays, making for a long flight.

Li Cunxu had underestimated the purity of the Celestial Forged Black Gold of the crown and spear, selling them for three hundred twelve Purple Gold Dragon Coins.

However, he only received three hundred two Purple Gold Dragon Coins, along with some Alliance Coins.

When consigning on the Purple Gold Online Store, the store charges a three percent transaction fee.

He spent one hundred fifty Purple Gold Dragon Coins to purchase two Light Brand Stones.

He spent three Purple Gold Dragon Coins to buy one drop of Sun Essence.

He spent two Purple Gold Dragon Coins to buy one drop of Essence of Taiyin.

The Essence of Taiyin is gentler than the Sun Essence and easier to collect, hence its slightly lower price.

White Stones and Night Stones are relatively cheap; he bought them for eight million Alliance Coins, without using even one Purple Gold Dragon Coin.

With all the evolution resources for the Flame White Horse gathered, only the final step remained: the Radiant Foal consuming the evolution resources and stepping into the Lightless White Flame.

Before heading to Celestial Sea Island to search for the Lightless White Flame, Li Cunxu needed to properly handle one matter.

The Crystal Shrimp Soldiers in the pet beast bag needed a proper settlement; keeping them asleep in the pet beast bag was not a solution.

Actually, settling the Crystal Shrimp Soldiers is easy; they can reside around Bengma Island, but explaining the situation is troublesome.

The Crystal Shrimp General was willing to leave the Crystal Palace and follow Li Cunxu because he promised to help hatch the dragon egg, along with a half-threat. Now that the dragon egg has indeed hatched, the Crystal Dragon Egg's hatchling mutated into an Extreme Crystal Dragon.

"Sigh! Difficult as it is to explain, it needs to be done; dragging it out is not a solution either."

Li Cunxu summoned the Crystal Shrimp General.

"The dragon egg, I've hatched it."

The Crystal Shrimp General's face lit up with joy.

"That's wonderful."

"Don't be too happy just yet; the dragon egg has hatched, but it wasn't a Crystal Dragon."

The Crystal Shrimp General murmured, "Could it have taken after its father?"

When two dragons combine, the resulting dragon egg might take after the father or the mother.

For example, when a Red Dragon and a Black Dragon produce a dragon egg, if it takes after the father, it's a Red Dragon; if after the mother, it's a Black Dragon.

"It shouldn't be; the Crystal Dragon's aura was strong on the egg," the Crystal Shrimp General said, perplexed.

"Because it didn't take after either the father or the mother; it mutated."

Li Cunxu made a circle with his fingers and whistled. The Extreme Crystal Dragon flew out of the wooden cabin's window and pounced into Li Cunxu's arms like a kitten.

Seeing the Extreme Crystal Dragon that looked somewhat similar to a Crystal Dragon, the Crystal Shrimp General fell into deep silence.

Li Cunxu consoled, "The Extreme Crystal Dragon carries the bloodline of the Crystal Dragon, and it might learn the blessings of the Crystal Dragon. Don't be too disheartened."

Under Li Cunxu's persuasion, the Crystal Shrimp General led the other Crystal Shrimp Soldiers to settle in the sea around Bengma Island.

Suddenly.

Boom~ A burst of light flashed in the distance, illuminating the sky and earth as if a nuclear bomb had exploded far away.

Li Cunxu turned his head to look, only seeing the vast sea.

"That direction is the second city. Has the expansion war initiated by Tongdu begun?"

Li Cunxu checked online, and indeed it had.

The expansion war by Tongdu had commenced.

However, this was not Li Cunxu's concern; he was too weak. On the battlefield, he'd merely serve as a tally on someone else's war record.

He sat on an inflatable speedboat and headed toward Celestial Sea Island.

As he passed through the blocking fog, Li Cunxu was quite nervous, fearing the Great Mist Celestial Whale that had shown a hint of hostility before would cause trouble.

He landed on Celestial Sea Island without incident.

Upon reaching the island, Li Cunxu frequently looked back at the hazy gray fog.

He felt as though he'd forgotten something important but couldn't recall what.

What exactly had he forgotten?

Li Cunxu racked his brain but still had no clues.

A giant black veil of nightfall gently covered the tranquil island, occasionally pierced by dragon roars, shattering the peace of the evening.

Li Cunxu donned stealth shoes and an invisibility cloak, heading straight for the highest mountain on Celestial Sea Island.

On the way to the largest and tallest volcano on the island, Li Cunxu saw numerous rare dragon-like pets, making him drool.

What he saw was just the tip of the iceberg; at night, many dragon pets were asleep and hadn't come out for a stroll.

Until he saw a towering tree at the center of the island, Li Cunxu lost interest in the dragons, quickening his pace towards the volcano, resolved to leave immediately once the Radiant Foal completed its evolution.

The entire tree was blood-red, with the trunk and branches entwined by thick vines. Dense fruits hung from the lush canopy, occasionally dropping with the gentle wind.

This tree was known as the Banyan Tree, simultaneously a wood-type and dragon-type pet beast.

The tree stood twenty meters tall, marking the entry into King level for Banyan Trees.

This Banyan Tree, standing thirty meters tall, marked the threshold into Venerable King level.

"Celestial Sea Island is more dangerous than I imagined."

At the foot of the largest volcano on Celestial Sea Island, Li Cunxu explored until he found a relatively hidden cave entrance and crawled inside.

Following the path straight ahead would lead him to the Lightless White Flame.

After a hundred or so steps, Li Cunxu suddenly stopped.

The path ahead was blocked by the cave's residents.

Two Flame Dragon Bears, with crimson fur like flames, were snoring in their sleep.

"How to get past them?"

Should he use the invisibility cloak to sneak past them?

Li Cunxu reconsidered and dismissed this reckless idea.

Pet beasts of the Gold level possess strong perception; Li Cunxu could only get as close as five meters before waking them, at which point, their close combat prowess could shred Li Cunxu instantly.

"After thinking it over, there's only one solution: fight."

But Li Cunxu didn't want to fight these two Flame Dragon Bears. The male was Gold level eight, and the female Gold level seven, both outstanding dragon pets in combat. Their true combat prowess was similar to that of an ordinary Gold level nine pet beast, and they could also perform combination attacks. Xiaoruan had a low chance of winning against them.
