Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 488: Closer to the Truth

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope’s action seemed to be hinting Lin Yuan help it wear the wind-elemental pearl on its neck.

Lin Yuan smiled and crushed the wind element heavenly-maiden-grade pearl before signaling for the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to eat it.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope’s current intelligence was just like the reliant pets that people had in Lin Yuan’s previous life. As long as you take some action, they would be able to understand the meaning of your action. If Lin Yuan spoke to the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope with words, it still couldn’t understand.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan spoke to the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope like how he spoke to Genius and Chimey. “Little fellow, with your current body, you will need to use one elemental pearl every three days. From now on, I will feed you one pearl every three days.”

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope saw Lin Yuan crushing the nice pearl and passing it over with his palm. It didn’t understand why Lin Yuan was so wasteful and allowed it to eat such a great thing. However, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope still delightfully licked all the pearl powder.

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. Is this little fellow afraid that the elemental pearl powder will go to waste, or is it washing my hand?! Isn’t this a little too clean!?

Since the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope wasn’t powerful innately and didn’t receive nurturing when it was young, Lin Yuan decided to rely on resources to develop the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope.

Such a priceless treasure was something Lin Yuan could obtain effortlessly. However, it was hard to find another Wind Speed Rapid Antelope that was so considerate and sensible. It was also able to use its instincts to tidy up the Spirit Lock spatial zone so orderly.

Even if he could find another one, Lin Yuan felt that it would never be as fateful as this little fellow here.

With the pleasant surprise of the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus blooming flowers, Lin Yuan went closer to observe the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia that was living on the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.

After taking a look, Lin Yuan realized that the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia had already progressed from Gold VIII to Gold X. Furthermore, it grew long and thin tassels.

When Lin Yuan saw the tassels, he knew that it was an indication that the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia was going to bear fruit.

Lin Yuan was truly looking forward to the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia’s fruit. Once the fruit was ripe, it would allow Lin Yuan to enhance his spiritual energy. It was something that he never dared to meddle with.

Even though the enhancement wouldn’t be much, it could allow Lin Yuan to pick another fey without thinking about the limits of his spiritual energy, allowing him to have more choices.

After everything was settled, Lin Yuan made the Source Sand transform it into its sand form.

Lin Yuan realized that the Mountain-Containing Embryo was indeed smaller than before. However, the Source Sand was still in its original state and had yet to upgrade from Fantasy I to Fantasy II.

Nevertheless, Lin Yuan could obviously feel the Source Sand’s extreme transformation.

Previously, when the Source Sand was split in two, it would be to split up the original body and the sand that it produced by using the ground. But now, the Source Sand could produce a kind of sand that was high in density.

The high-density sand might not be superior in control as compared to the Source Sand itself, but Lin Yuan had better control over it than the Source Sand’s produced sand.

The amount of high-density sand might not be much, but it was totally enough to envelop Lin Yuan within a three-meter radius.

This certainly gave Lin Yuan a great and pleasant surprise for such a transformation to happen after the Source Sand absorbed the Mountain-Containing Embryo.

Lin Yuan planned to give this high-density sand the name Close Guard Sand.

The Close Guard Sand’s existence greatly improved Lin Yuan’s close-range defense and offense.

Lin Yuan was now able to feel the horrific increase in strength when one nurtured a fey with superior resources.

Lin Yuan was rejoicing that he hadn’t found another spiritual ingredient to nurture the Fantasy Breed Source Sand’s quality.

Lin Yuan took one piece of earth-elemental pearl and tossed it into the Source Sand. The Source Sand immediately transported the earth-elemental pearl to the side of the Mountain-Containing Embryo before circulating the sand. It made the earth-elemental pearl constantly rub and grind against the Mountain-Containing Embryo.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the Source Sand’s soul was probably... an old man? With the muddled intelligence it had at Gold/Fantasy, it already knew to rotate balls[1].

What would happen once it continued to develop?

Lin Yuan had yet to give the Source Sand a name, but since he knew that the Source Sand liked to rotate balls, why not call it Bunchy.

Lin Yuan wanted to make use of the boundless earth-elemental energy from the heavenly-maiden-grade earth-elemental pearl to temper the Source Sand’s elemental body.

The sand element was a variant of the earth element, and they were of the same source.

The Source Sand was an elemental source-type lifeform. Therefore, it had great benefits when being tempered by such pure earth-elemental energy. It would also help the Source Sand to increase its grade.

Upon sensing the Source Sand’s absorption speed, Lin Yuan speculated that the Source Sand would need to use around two heavenly-maiden-grade earth-elemental pearls per day. In other words, it would need 60 pearls in one month and 720 pearls in one year.

Such a consumption speed was something that few could afford. Even if they could afford it, how many would be willing to pour in such resources to their feys?

Nurturing feys was a process of using resources to roll a snowball. The ratio of investment and return wasn’t equal. However, it was obviously not realistic if the owner wanted the fey to evolve without any investment.

This was also why people with a strong foundation could nurture powerful feys with the prerequisite of having talent.

Naturally, Lin Yuan was more than willing to use any available resources when nurturing a fey.

Morbius was Lin Yuan’s contracted fey, and Morbius’ exclusive skill, Spirit Lock spatial zone, allowed Lin Yuan to have the confidence to carry out such nurturing processes.

As compared to the consumption of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, the production of the elemental pearls was more than enough.

Lin Yuan then started to carry out the routine enhancement of Silver Usneas in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

This method he used to increase his spirit qi professional rank—consuming his spirit qi when enhancing feys—was simply too difficult!

After exiting the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan immediately felt the Ethereal Jellyfish sending a spirit wave toward him.

Lin Yuan’s eyes immediately widened. He knew that the secret hidden in the coastal sea had finally been revealed.
