Chapter 491 Evolution Ceremony
Just as Li Qian and Patriarch Tianyu were talking, a streak of light suddenly cut through the sky and appeared in front of them in an instant.

"Grandpa, great-grandpa, great-grandpa..." The stream of light fell to the ground and dissipated, and then the traces of five people appeared. These five people spoke one after another and greeted the ancestor Tianyu in a respectful tone.

Li Qian looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the composition of these five people was quite interesting.

There was an old man who looked about the same age as Ancestor Tianyu, with white hair and a youthful face; there was a young old man who looked to be in his fifties; there were also young and middle-aged people who looked to be only in their thirties or forties. Most of the age gradients could be seen, and among them, the youngest was Wu You.

At this moment, Wu You was standing next to an old woman, looking timid and shy. It was a rare moment that she showed the demeanor of a little girl, no longer her usual carefree appearance.

The few of them exchanged a few brief words, and then Patriarch Tianyu focused his attention on Li Qian.

"What is the purpose of summoning Xiaoyou here this time? I think you should know. Young friend Li Qian has already signed a contract with her and has also researched a method of evolution. Now, he is preparing to test it." Ancestor Tianyu briefly stated the whole story.

To be honest, he was a little surprised to see so many people here.

He originally thought that at most one or two people would accompany Wu You, but he did not expect that four people would come.

However, thinking back to my previous evaluation of Wu You, it seems understandable that they would take it so seriously.

After hearing what Ancestor Tianyu said, everyone in the group showed surprised expressions on their faces.

They learned about the contract through Wu Xinlan, Wu You's great-grandmother, the old woman standing next to the latter.

They also learned the time when the contract was concluded. It was because they knew the time that they found it incredible.

The contract was concluded just a few years ago, and it is estimated that most of the information was accumulated in the ancestral temple in recent days. It is really incredible that the prototype of evolution has been developed in such a short time.

If these words had not come from the mouth of Patriarch Tianyu, they would have suspected that someone was deliberately fooling them.

Even the person involved, Wu You himself, felt that this matter was not true.

"Well, um, next, should we step away?" Wu You's great-grandmother was the first to react. She spoke with a smile and chose to believe.

In her opinion, even if it fails, it doesn’t matter, just treat it as an attempt.

Hearing this, Li Qian smiled, took a step forward, and looked at Wu You's great-grandmother, "No need for that. The evolution of your Winged Clan is different from that of extraordinary creatures. Everyone is a special case. There is no point in keeping it secret."

Li Qian said this openly without any intention of concealing anything. After hearing this, all the elders of the Wing Clan nodded in their hearts and felt a little more in agreement with him.

After that, Li Qian didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point. "Well, let's get started without further delay."

“Here, I’d like to trouble a few seniors to cover up for me. When we test the evolution later, it is very likely that a more conspicuous evolution light will be raised.” Li Qian said confidently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired old woman, Wu You's great-grandmother, spoke up, "Student Li Qian, you can just experiment without worry. We have our own way to cover up the noise."

Since the old woman said so, Li Qian naturally no longer had to worry about anything and he just waved his hand.

Wu You instantly understood what he meant and walked over. At this moment, her head was still a little confused.

She asked, "You figured it out in such a short time? In this situation, with so many seniors watching, don't try to be pretentious!"

Although the words were not very polite, Li Qian could tell that Wu You was doing it for his own good.

He gave the girl a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the open space in front. Wu You no longer hesitated and walked over quickly.

The Winged Woman stood there. It was too late to retreat now. She could only choose to believe.

After Wu You stood still, Li Qian walked over with a smile. He stretched out his hand and asked for the two evolutionary materials, "Hyacinth" and "Heavenly Tempered Gold".

After taking the two evolution materials, he turned around and looked at Patriarch Tianyu. He said, "Senior Tianyu, thank you for your help in presiding over the evolution ceremony."

"It's the kind that comes with mysterious dance and spells, and is matched by the evolution of a Winged Clan elder with four wings on his back." Li Qian said, and Patriarch Tianyu knew which evolution ceremony he was referring to as soon as he heard it.

He was a little surprised. Although the Winged Tribe had only one set of evolutionary rituals, this set had evolved into many versions depending on the difficulty of the evolution.

The set that Li Qian was referring to was the one closest to the original ceremony, which was also the most complex and elaborate one.

There are only three people in the Winged Clan who can preside over this ceremony, and he is one of them.

He nodded, suddenly spread out his hands, and in the blink of an eye, an ebony stick appeared in his hand.

Patriarch Tianyu waved his wooden staff and began to dance. The way he danced was somewhat similar to the formation dance that Li Qian had performed before.

After dancing for a while, Patriarch Tianyu suddenly fell silent. His lips kept moving, and low chants came out of his mouth.

The chanting was very strange. It made people's hearts beat faster. As Li Qian listened to the chanting, his face turned red and his eyes became bloodshot.

Fortunately, just as the chanting became louder and louder, like a tsunami, the sound suddenly stopped and disappeared into thin air.

"Did Ancestor Tianyu take the initiative to block my hearing?" Li Qian felt a little confused, so he turned his head to look over. When he saw the former's lips still moving, he instantly understood what was going on.

Li Qian took another glance and found that all the Winged Clan members, including Wu You, did not behave in any unusual way. He immediately understood that the destructiveness of this chanting should only be directed at outsiders who heard it.

After collecting his mind, he began to concentrate and observe Wu You's changes according to the description in the knowledge he had infused when completing the task before.

With the launch of the evolution ceremony, Wu You's evolutionary journey has begun.

It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the description. As the evolution ceremony progressed, a faint light of evolution actually began to emerge from Wu You's body.

All the old elders of the Wing Clan, especially Wu You’s great-grandmother, showed a look of relief when they saw this scene.

The appearance of the light of evolution at least proves that there is nothing wrong with the initial evolution ritual.

Hit the mark.

Li Qian compared the knowledge that was infused after the task was completed, and did not dare to relax at all, still staring intently. At a certain moment, when Li Qian sensed a violent energy surging from Wu You's body through telepathy and soul contract, he threw Hyacinth out without any hesitation.

Hyacinthus is the fruit of the extraordinary resource Hyacinthus sinensis. It looks a bit like a dandelion and is the essence of Hyacinthus sinensis.

The whole hyacinth fluttered in the air and flew towards where Wu You was. In fact, only Li Qian knew that he had just released the hyacinth's restraints.

In fact, this extraordinary evolutionary resource was attracted by Wu You himself.

Li Qian just watched as the hyacinth fluttered in the air and finally landed on Wu You's body, turning into countless tiny spots of light like fireflies.

Watching these tiny spots of light merge into Wu You's body, Li Qian nodded slightly.

This step went very smoothly.

With the fusion of Hyacinthus, it can be clearly seen that the light of evolution on Wu You has become more intense.

Li Qian continued to remain vigilant and continued to stare intently. In this way, about five minutes passed.

Just when all the Wing Clan elders were getting anxious, Li Qian felt the energy in Wu You's body again and estimated the time when the evolution ceremony presided over by Ancestor Tianyu would end, then he took out the Tiancui Gold.

Tiancui Gold and Hyacinthus are different. Extraordinary resources with gold attributes have never been easy to absorb.

What's more, Wu You himself has not shown any gold-attribute talent.

Following the rhythm of the spell chanted by Ancestor Tianyu, when the evolution ceremony he presided over was about to end, Li Qian suddenly threw out the Tianquejin.

The Tiancui Gold was thrown above Wu You's head, then it hovered there and began to emit a faint golden light.

When Li Qian saw this scene, he took action immediately without any hesitation and sat down cross-legged.

It is not an easy task to digest and absorb this Heavenly Tempered Gold. Li Qian sat cross-legged, extended his mental power, and connected it with Wu You's mental power.

The mental powers of the two people intertwined like the Yin-Yang Tai Chi fish, and began to erase the Tianque gold floating above Wu You's head.

As the spiritual power Tai Chi fish was eroded, wisps of golden light floated down from the Tianque Gold and finally merged into Wu You's body.

"Are they going to erase this piece of Heavenly Tempered Gold?" A middle-aged man from the Winged Clan who looked to be in his early forties asked anxiously.

Ancestor Tianyu finished the evolution ceremony. He stared at it and nodded, "Yes, the two of them are using their mental power to erase this piece of Tianquejin."

“Heavenly-tempered gold is extremely strong. How long will it take for their mental strength to wear it down?” The middle-aged Winged Clan man frowned.

Having said that, he was ready to take action.

But just as he made a move, he was stopped by the old woman next to him, "Dong Shu, what are you doing?"

"Auntie Lan, I'm worried and want to help them!" The middle-aged Winged Clan man named "Dong Shu" pointed at Li Qian and Wu You and spoke.

The old woman, Wu Xinlan, Wu You's great-grandmother, immediately shook her head and said, "Student Li Qian hasn't spoken yet, so you'd better not act rashly."

"Evolution is a matter that cannot be taken lightly. If others interfere, it might backfire." Wu Xinlan expressed her concerns.

After hearing this, You Dongshu immediately stopped his actions and stared at him quietly. He valued the junior Wu You as much as his great-grandmother Wu Xinlan. After hearing the latter's words, he dared not act rashly.

At this time, Patriarch Tianyu also spoke up, "We can just watch. No one can help with this hurdle except the two of them."

And there was one thing he didn't say. Both Li Qian and Wu You were the best in their respective groups. If neither of them could complete the evolution, there would be no hope for others.

So he believed that the two of them would definitely be able to get through this.

As it turned out, his guess was correct. As time went by, it could be clearly seen that bits of light were constantly falling from the Tiancui gold floating above Wu You's head.

The continuous falling of light fragments also caused... Tiancuijin's size to become smaller and smaller. Not only that, it can be clearly seen that the speed of shrinkage is constantly accelerating.

“Looking at this speed, it won’t be long before Xiaoyou can absorb all the Tianque Gold!” An elder of the Wing Clan who looked about the same age as Ancestor Tianyu said with a smile.

"I've actually always been curious. Xiaoyou's evolution used Tiancui Gold. Is it possible that she..." said an old man who looked to be about fifty years old.

His words caused everyone at the scene to fall silent.

The old man's words broke a layer of window paper. It's not that everyone hadn't thought about it before, but they just didn't dare to believe it.

So tacitly, no one spoke up to bring it up, but now, no one could hold it in any longer.

You Dongshu immediately took over the topic and continued: "I think it's very likely!"

Seeing that everyone was getting excited, Tianyu Patriarch coughed and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Even if Xiaoyou is really evolving towards the direction of our Wing Clan's ancestor, it won't happen in a short time."

"Even if we can complete the evolution this time, it is just a small step in this direction. There is still a long way to go."

Finally, he emphasized again, "By the way, this matter is of great importance. I hope that all of you can keep your mouth shut."

After hearing this, all the Wing Clan elders nodded.

Just as the Wing Clan elders were whispering to each other, the Sky-Tempered Gold floating above Wu You's head was finally completely wiped out by the joint "encirclement and suppression" of Li Qian and Wu You.

When the last ray of golden light merged into Wu You's body, suddenly, a blazing light shot up into the sky.

hum!
The blazing light of evolution shot up into the sky, but after rising about ten meters, it was intercepted by a translucent light shield and trapped inside.

There is no doubt that this is the barrier formation that Wu Xinlan had set up earlier.
