Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 790: Curse of the ‘Stone Insect’

Lin Yuan circulated his law power and chose a portion from one of inferior quality that he had more than one of.

When Wen Yu activated the Astronomical Parliament’s Star Spirit Seat, Lin Yuan used these laws that he had chosen to exchange for the spirit fluid Genius had concocted, the Sharp Shadow Bat, and a Diamond fey storage box. Lin Yuan handed these items to Bei Xu.

Lin Yuan struggled with his pain over losing the laws and said to Bei Xu, “When this parliamentary meeting is over and you return to reality, I hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the fey you see. I also prepared a small present for you.”

Bei Xu looked delighted.

The last time Lin Yuan had mentioned a small present, Bei Xu had basically come back from life. Bei Xu extremely looked forward to this new small present.

Now, Lin Yuan turned his attention to Yin Lin and asked, “Perseus wants to contract a fey. What would you like?”

Yin Lin resolutely laid out the conditions that she had thought of long ago. “Leo, I want to be able to see the world as clearly as a normal person.”

Lin Yuan did not find Yin Lin’s request to be unexpected, and he agreed immediately.

He activated the willpowers in his body and used a portion that he had already set aside to exchange for Star Spirit Seat to instruct the Jasmine Lily to release vitality through Severed Limbs Growth to Yin Lin’s body.

Lin Yuan did not know how much vitality was needed to heal Yin Lin, and he could not accurately sense the situation in Yin Lin’s body through her willpower.

Lin Yuan used more willpower and only stopped the Jasmine Lily from injecting vitality into Yin Lin once the amount it injected had exceeded the amount of vitality in Yin Lin’s body.

Now that he had fulfilled both Bei Xu and Yin Lin’s requests, Lin Yuan felt that their promises had been sealed.

As the system, Lin Yuan prepared to issue tasks to Yin Lin and Bei Xu.

It had been 27 minutes since the second Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting had started. Wen Yu’s face had started to lose color.

Hence, Lin Yuan did not plan to issue complicated tasks.

“Both of you go and establish a faction in the worlds that you’re from. You can decide for yourselves what the faction does and its roles.”

When Bei Xu and Yin Lin heard Lin Yuan’s task, a strange look came over their faces.

Yin Lin looked at Lin Yuan like she was staring at a god. She looked at this man who had just given her sight with gratitude.

To someone like Yin Lin, who spent her life blind and confined to a wheelchair, she was extremely intrigued by Lin Yuan’s mission to start a faction.

After a moment’s contemplation, Yin Lin asked Lin Yuan, “Leo, if you want us to start factions, we need to give the factions the same name.”

Lin Yuan had not planned on telling Yin Lin and Bei Xu about Sky City.

But since she had asked, Lin Yuan replied, “You can choose the name. But one day, when your factions have developed enough to leave the land where you come from, you can add Sky City to the front of your faction’s name. Before that happens, you can just keep the name Sky City in your hearts.”

Yin Lin made sure that Lin Yuan’s words were etched in her brain.

The name Sky City also had a sort of magical quality to it that was imprinted in the depths of Yin Lin’s soul.

Now that Yin Lin had a new lease on life, she found the first goal in her life.

Bei Xu’s expression was extremely sour, and his face was devoid of color. He stammered and said, “L… Leo, there’s been a curse on my waist from the moment I was born. The curse is a stone insect. I might not be able to start a faction.”

Bei Xu’s face looked ashen as he spoke.

He did not expect that the first mission Lin Yuan gave out would be one that Bei Xu would not be able to accomplish.

Bei Xu had been imbued with courage and hopes ever since Lin Yuan had pulled him back from death’s door. The last thing he wanted was to disappoint Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan heard about the curse and stone insect, he thought back to the experiences in Bei Xu’s life and knew what Bei Xu was talking about.

Although the Grotto Continent was a poor and remote place, it was crueler than anyone could imagine.

Those who were cursed from birth had to live their lives according to the curse.

The curse that was carved on them was like an icon of their status in the Grotto Continent.

The ‘stone insect’ curse on Bei Xu’s body meant that he would have to dedicate his life to working in the mines.

However, Lin Yuan found that this method of setting a person’s status was ridiculous.

The Grotto Continent’s curse was just a lame trick.

The curse was formed by smearing the juices from an underground plant on the skin, which would then turn the skin black.

Finally, a caterpillar-species fey called Imprint Worm would gnaw on the stained skin, forming an imprint on the skin.

The purplish-black imprint would remain on the body forever.

The Imprint Worm also vomited into the skin while it was gnawing to increase the effectiveness of the mark.

This caused the purplish-black curse to sink into the flesh until it reached the bone.

If the area with the cursed skin was cut open, as long as the cut was deep enough to reach the bone, the cursed flesh could be removed.

However, the people with curses in the Grotto Continent were mostly normal people who were not spirit qi professionals that had feys.

The spirit qi professionals that formed contracts with feys were always of high status in the Grotto Continent.

In the horrible environment in the Grotto Continent, normal people without feys would not be able to survive once they cut out a chunk of their flesh from the waist.

Even if they did somehow manage to survive, a large scar would be left behind without the healing from a healing-type spirit qi professional.

It was taboo to have a scar on the waist in the Grotto Continent. No matter what the reason was, one would be punished if discovered.

As a citizen of the Grotto Continent, Bei Xu was well aware of this. This was why he felt the way he was feeling.
