God of Pets-Chapter 630: Selecting the Secret Treasure

"Could it be that transforming clay sculptures into living creatures requires the participation of Primordial Energy?" Chen Guan observed the barking Self-red Chow Chows, pondering silently.

Soon, Chen Guan negated this hypothesis.

"If it only required Primordial Energy, with so many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures piled up here, each containing a large amount of Primordial Energy, why hasn't Yellow Mud Island absorbed their Primordial Energy, nor had any reaction?"

"I also previously put in some flesh and blood of Secret Spirit, which also had a high Primordial Energy content, yet it didn't trigger the transformation of porcelain into living creatures either."

"It seems the problem isn't just with Primordial Energy; not just any Primordial Energy can yield this effect."

"What's the difference between the Primordial Energy I excrete and the Primordial Energy in Heavenly and Earthly Treasures? Theoretically, my Primordial Energy is Alien Elemental Energy, which is Spiritual Power; spiritual power has undergone nine screenings through Reverse Element Skill, and although what comes out is inferior spiritual power, that's only in reference to my own spiritual power."

"Even this inferior spiritual power, the Primordial Energy it contains, isn't much less than that in the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and the spiritual power excreted in the last few rounds even exceeds the purity of most Heavenly and Earthly Treasures."

"Moreover, the amount of spiritual power I excretes is significant. Previously, out of ten billion Primordial Energy, over ninety-nine percent was expelled into Yellow Mud Island, meaning more than 9.9 billion Primordial Energy is needed to achieve such an effect..."

Chen Guan continuously inferred and listed some possibilities.

First, it definitely relates to Primordial Energy; a large amount of Primordial Energy is required to turn porcelain into living creatures.

This amount far exceeds the Primordial Energy limit of ordinary creatures.

Chen Guan speculated that the amount of Primordial Energy needed to transform living creatures is immense, not a simple one-to-one ratio.

The energy of a single living sheep cannot transform a clay sculpture into a living sheep; it probably requires the energy of thousands or tens of thousands of living sheep, or even more energy, to transform a living sheep.

If energy is insufficient, using the living sheep itself as transformation energy could successfully transform into a living sheep.

This explains why those who directly use the Daoist Mortar can duplicate what they desire but quickly age and die.

That's because the energy they pay is insufficient, and their own bodies are sacrificed as energy.

Second, the Primordial Energy needed by Yellow Mud Island is not ordinary Primordial Energy.

Initially, when Fu Tianji and others used the Daoist Mortar, they didn't die directly, but aged rapidly at first.

Fu Tianji, due to the ability of the Undying Ghost, wasn't affected.

Based on these clues, Chen Guan inferred that the Primordial Energy needed for duplication should have a life-related attribute.

Therefore, further speculating, the Primordial Energy Attribute of the Spirit Devouring God should have the attribute of life.

It can hasten the maturation of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, which clearly relates to the attribute of life.

Chen Guan's Spiritual Power possesses the attribute of the Spirit Devouring God, used to save the Mushroom Immortal, and has many wonderful uses, now making these porcelain pieces into living beings, fitting the life-related attribute condition.

Third, the creations Chen Guan made aren't exactly the same as the models, indicating that the function of the Daoist Mortar is not simple duplication, but adjustable.

The Self-red Chow Chows crafted following the Warring States model varied in appearance due to Chen Guan's skill, with some looking good and others poor.

Fortunately, they are all in pet form; with a thought, Chen Guan collected the unowned Self-red Chow Chows and the slightly unattractive Flower Fairy.

Then Chen Guan found that their attributes also varied, with the better-sculpted clay figures more closely resembling the Warring States model, and their attributes aligning more closely with those of Warring States.

Conversely, poorer attributes resulted in diminished abilities.

Among these Self-red Chow Chows, the best-looking one reached unparalleled quality.

But there was only that one; most others were ordinary, and even finding a rare one was difficult.

Chen Guan examined carefully; that unparalleled quality Self-red Chow Chow indeed resembled the Warring States model, even in the bear version of the Warring States.

Chen Guan recalled that this Chow Chow was probably the last one he crafted, shaped after the bear version of Warring States.

In terms of skill and templates, it was the best.

Thus, Chen Guan summarized.

To craft something sufficiently good, one needs a good model to reference, and also craft well; it's best if it closely resembles the reference, with more spirit, resulting in a better creation.

Then a large amount of Primordial Energy with life attributes is needed to finally use the yellow clay to mold the desired item.

"Regarding Primordial Energy, there's no need to worry too much. Once I level up further and increase the Primordial Energy, I can use my spiritual power to create things."

"Templates aren't an issue. I have papermen, Ming Fei, rouge as templates; what I craft won't be poor. If needed, I can look at others' excellent items and replicate them."

"Thus, the remaining issue is how to craft likeness, to imbue spirit, or else it not only wastes Primordial Energy but results in useless products."

Just like these Self-red Chow Chows, most aren't useful; only that unparalleled Self-red Chow Chow has some use.

"I need to learn how to mold clay figurines, or else this treasure won't be utilized effectively." Chen Guan dared not directly use the Daoist Mortar for replication, fearing issues, so he could only find ways to improve his clay sculpting skills.

This isn't considered difficult; finding a master sculptor to learn from would be enough.

Chen Guan decided to release the Self-red Chow Chows and the unattractive Flower Fairy, leaving them on Yellow Mud Island to accompany Zhao Cai as companions.

The Daoist Mortar, indeed, is an extraordinary Secret Treasure, being a Third Awakening, and despite Zhao Cai not yet undergoing a Fourth Awakening, it can ignore restrictions and enter the Grotto Heaven within Yellow Mud Island, showcasing its wonders.

However, Zhao Cai is about to undergo the Fourth Awakening, having consumed many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures here, virtually treating them as food; if it weren't for Zhao Cai's modest innate talent, it should have undergone the Fourth Awakening by now.

Alas, though the panda's talent isn't high, its abilities are too strong; Chen Guan is determined to improve its level, considering future pets he might want, necessitating reliance on Zhao Cai.

Having understood everything, Chen Guan didn't immediately proceed to mold clay sculptures.

"First, I'll level up, then find a master sculptor to learn clay figurine making seriously." Chen Guan pondered whether to create a few more Ming Fei in the future.

After much deliberation, he decided upon the Secret Treasure's Five Senses Awakening order.

"Should it be the Divine Land Cauldron or the Daoist Mortar?" Chen Guan hesitated slightly before choosing the Daoist Mortar.

After all, the item possesses significant Spiritual Wisdom on its own, and Chen Guan doesn't have absolute control over it; while the Daoist Mortar's Spiritual Sense hasn't restored and remains dormant, he plans to refine it into his Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, ensuring its obedience then.
