Chapter 257: Golden Quality: Sky Scar Eye
```
These materials were all collected by Meng Quan on ordinary days, with phantom, thunder, and earth materials being extremely rare, while the number of other attribute materials was plentiful.
It seems related to the three attributes possessed by his two strongest beast-taming pets.
The materials of these three attributes collected were all consumed by his beast-taming pets to enhance their foundation.
Naturally, he wouldn't leave any behind for his enemies to use.
Therefore, the treasures that were left were those of no use to his beast-taming pets.
However, there are always exceptions, such as two types of thunder materials sealed in special crystals being meticulously preserved.
The first type was a thunder seed imprisoned within the crystal.
From a distance, it looked like a golden seed, with numerous fine thunder patterns spreading like roots in all directions.
This material resembled the rumored thunder seed!
Thunder seed—a rare material, said to be an elemental seed born from the natural forces of the heavens and earth.
The second type was a piece of charred wood, blackened in appearance, filled with a rich wood attribute vitality, and also containing a strong thunder attribute power within.
After examining it, Chen Xing felt it closely resembled the rumored millennium thunder-struck wood.
A rare material with both wood and thunder attributes.
Both types of materials were extremely rare; any attribute's elemental seed was a level 9 secret treasure.
The millennium thunder-struck wood's conditions for formation were extremely stringent; it required a treasure tree with an exceptionally vigorous wood attribute vitality, which after enduring the test of time for a millennium, could attract the thunder force between heaven and earth to nourish it.
Under the devastating power of this thunder force, the treasure tree would turn into charred wood, yet new life would be reborn within the char, thus creating this special post-natal secret treasure.
Because the millennium thunder-struck wood had extremely strict requirements for the age of the treasure tree, its preciousness was self-evident. Even the worst quality millennium thunder-struck wood was equivalent to a level 8 secret treasure.
It's somewhat wasteful to pure absorb the elemental powers contained in such rare treasures; they serve their greatest value as raw materials for evolution. Perhaps this is one of the reasons these two materials were preserved.
Apart from those, there were also numerous secret treasures of other attributes.
Chen Xing summoned his beast-taming pets, looking forward to Sìxiàng's potential.
Being a thunder-element beast taming, Sìxiàng had the highest chance of resonating with thunder element secret treasures.
Regrettably, the outcome was not as he had hoped; after trying two secret treasures in succession, there was no emergence of any virtual lines between them and Sìxiàng.
Chen Xing consoled Sìxiàng, "No matter, at least we've eliminated two incorrect answers."
Next, Chen Xing's gaze shifted to the other three beast-taming pets.
Honestly, he didn't hold much hope for them. After all, as the only beast taming pet with the thunder attribute, Sìxiàng had the highest likelihood of resonating with thunder element secret treasures.
The probability of resonance across different attributes was even slimmer.
Yet, the development of events was contrary to his expectations.
When the golden thunder seed made contact with Taotie's skin, a golden virtual line surprisingly extended! Moreover, the progress of this virtual line surged frantically, ultimately stopping at 38%.
A glimmer of surprise flashed through Chen Xing's eyes.
He quickly took out the Calamity Seashell he had obtained from the Qinghai competition and added it to the mix.

Indeed, these two materials were part of the same evolution path.
Chen Xing thought that the higher the quality of the evolution path, the rarer it must be, like the tip of a pyramid.
When it came to a golden quality evolutionary path at this level, the likelihood of them being part of the same evolutionary line was very high.
The progress increased from 38% to 62.5%, with more than half of the progress collected, and the remaining needed number of secret treasures emerged: 2.
Taotie's evolutionary path was just two materials short of completing the Golden Legend.
Glancing at his remaining skill points, 274.
Chen Xing steeled his resolve; Taotie had been stuck at an energy level of one hundred for some time now, and the most important thing was to accomplish Taotie's evolution.
He directly spent 110 skill points to unlock the remaining two unknown materials!
The virtual line representing the golden evolution path gradually solidified, finally forming a line of sparkling golden text: Sky Scar Eye.
Exactly which treasures were needed, the timing of the ceremony, and how to conduct the ceremony all materialized into text.
First you must collect the Cangtian Thunder God Seed, the Calamity Seashell, the Domain Stele, and the Titan's Heart.
On the day of the lunar eclipse, make an incision at the brow's center, plant the Cangtian Thunder God Seed into the brow, consume the Titan's Heart and blow on the Calamity Seashell while bearing the Domain Stele, undergoing the Calamity's baptism.
Survive the Calamity's ordeal, ascend to the suspended heavens on the day of the lunar eclipse, and transform into the behemoth known as Sky Scar Eye.
Sky Scar Eye, I wonder what kind of monster would be dubbed such a name.
Chen Xing had never heard of the last two materials, but that was normal; for example, he had never heard of the Calamity Seashell before he obtained it.
He would investigate in the library tomorrow, where he should be able to find some clues.
If they turned out to be too difficult to obtain, he might have to consider advancing with a purple or orange quality evolution as an interim measure.
Next morning, Chen Xing contacted the senior from the Book Friends Society, asking for clues regarding the materials recorded as Domain Stele and Titan's Heart.
The reply came quickly, "There are a total of 7 books about the Domain Stele in the library, and 5 about the Titan's Heart."
After happily paying 10 academic credits and agreeing on a time,
Chen Xing went directly to the library after his morning class on Monstrous Behavior Studies.
"Junior, I've taken down the books for you," said the senior, wiping the sweat from his forehead and standing up to give up his seat.
12 neatly stacked books were placed on the spot where he had held his place.
