Chapter 2998 Wisdom Eye Brain Dragonfly!
Lin Yuan attached great importance to the Business Flourishing Flower's ability to breed powerful and endangered species as the ability made it easier for him to recruit powerful species.
Helping these powerful species strengthen their numbers was sometimes more appealing than helping the experts of the species increase their strength.
Fortunately, the Realm Abyss Red Lotuss lotus seed's ability was somewhat similar to the Business Flourishing Flower's ability. In fact, it was more formidable.
Lin Yuan was willing to accept the loss of some Business Flourishing Flowers caused by its entering the burning state.
Burning Flower Enhancement was a little better than Business Support and Overdraft Evolution.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yuan chose the Burning Flower Enhancement.
Looking at the Business Flourishing Flower's data, it had already become a Bronze/Flawless fey.
[Fey Name]: Business Flourishing Flower
[Fey Species]: Peach/Rose
[Fey Grade]: Bronze (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Wood
[Fey Quality]: Flawless
Abilities:
[Overflowing Domain]: Lets the ground you take root in contain a large amount of vitality. This vitality can increase the strength of all the living beings here and increase the speed at which you absorb energy and your bloodline transforms.
[Flower Nurturing]: When a flower blooms on its own, the flower can amplify the living beings in the area, making it easier for these living beings to nurture bloodlines. Even if a race that can't nurture descendants eats a flower that it bears, it can definitely nurture descendants.
Exclusive Skill:
[Burning Flower Enhancement]: Use the flower that blooms on its own to let the flower enter the burning state. After entering the burning state, the flower itself will not be consumed, but it will lose the ability to help other species reproduce. Every flower that enters the burning state will enhance the basic ability, Overflowing Domain.
As auspicious blessings of heaven and earth, the Business Flourishing Flower had just come into existence. Now was its fastest time to advance in grade and quality. However, Lin Yuan had made the Business Flourishing Flower Morbius' Spirit Lock fey, and he wanted it to evolve into a Fantasy Breed at Bronze.
At present, Lin Yuan had yet to comprehend the Willpower Rune that was compatible with the Business Flourishing Flower. Only when Lin Yuan comprehended the Willpower Rune related to the Business Flourishing Flower could it continue to evolve. For the time being, its current grade and quality could only be suppressed.
Lin Yuan put away the Business Flourishing Flower. His ability to comprehend Willpower Runes was powerful. Over the years, he had been comprehending Willpower Runes one after another. Some of the Willpower Runes could be used to fuse with the Business Flourishing Flower, but Lin Yuan was unwilling to do so.
The Business Flourishing Flower was not only an auspicious blessing of heaven and earth, but it also concerned Morbius' future growth. He had to nurture it to the best of its ability.
Just as Lin Yuan put away the Business Flourishing Flower, explosions of dense energy erupted all around him, forming successive waves of energy surges. These energy waves continued to spread into the distance, causing the entire mid-grade blessed land to tremble.
Autumn said, "Young Master, this energy was born together with the Business Flourishing Flower. By storing away it, you've caused this energy to dissipate into the blessed land."
Sensing the boundless pure energy surrounding him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but lament inwardly that this energy was somewhat wasted.
Autumn guessed Lin Yuan's thoughts and said, "Young Master, the energy that should have been absorbed by the Business Flourishing Flower will nourish the special feys born in this mid-grade blessed land and strengthen them."
Just as Autumn's words trailed off, Winter appeared before Lin Yuan, smiling as he spoke. "Looks like everything is going smoothly. This is really great. As far as I know, there are very few people who can contract with the auspicious sign of heaven and earth as its value is often comparable to that of a higher faerie!"
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan nodded in agreement. To be fair, the Business Flourishing Flower he had contracted hadn't fully matured yet, but its current abilities were already comparable to Season Cycle.
"Winter, you might not know this, but the auspicious sign of heaven and earth that Young Master contracted is plant-type, which is more precious than animal-type or insect-type. If properly nurtured, it really isn't something that ordinary higher faeries can compare to!"
Winter was happy for Lin Yuan and curious when he heard Autumn's words. How outstanding was it that Lin Yuan had contracted for Autumn to say such words?
Autumn had always wanted to show off before Lin Yuan, but his proud nature often got in the way. He would not praise things that he looked down upon.
Lin Yuan did not continue to talk about the Business Flourishing Flower. Instead, he told Autumn and Winter, "Let's gather the resources in this mid-grade blessed land first!"
Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings, taking in the abundance of rare spiritual ingredients scattered about. Not far off, a few mineral veins lay exposed to the open air, their precise ores hinting at a minimum Class 4 designation.
In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, mineral vein classifications typically adhered to Creator grade standards, dictating the quality of resources they could yield.
These initial observations explained why numerous formidable factions vied to claim mid-grade blessed lands upon their emergence.
Within this mid-grade blessed land, Lin Yuan, Autumn, and Winter were restricted to gathering easily accessible spiritual ingredients, as developing mineral veins necessitated a substantial workforce.
On their journey to gather spiritual ingredients, Winter noticed an open-air ore with a striking pinkish-purple glow in the distance.
"I didn't expect to stumble upon a Dragon Breath Stone vein in this mid-grade blessed land," he remarked to Lin Yuan. "If the Barren beast you've contracted in this territory aims to elevate its grade, doesn't it require dragon lungs and phoenix blood?"
"These Dragon Breath Stones might serve as a direct substitute for the dragon lungs in nourishing your Barren beast.
"In case your Barren beast isn't inclined to consume the Dragon Breath Stone, using it can significantly hasten the cultivation of dragon-species feys of equivalent grade. Judging by the quality of this Dragon Breath Stone vein, the stones it produces are of at least Class 3!
"More than 50% of the Dragon Breath Stones here could reach Class 4, and if luck favors us, we might even yield a Class 5 Dragon Breath Stone."
He added, "Obtaining these Class 5 Dragon Breath Stones won't pose a challenge when it comes to exchanging them for Sacred Body Stones at the Creation Conference.
"Many species boasting dragon-species bloodlines exhibit exceptional prowess and possess a keen territorial sense, enabling them to amass abundant resources. Such species place immense value on enhancing their strength, where the benefits of Sacred Body Stones might pale in comparison to those of the Dragon Breath Stone!"
Winter's expertise surpassed that of Lin Yuan's, though the latter, having delved into numerous texts, could identify the Dragon Breath Stone vein upon seeing it.
The Dragon Breath Stone held immense value, with Lin Yuan having only glimpsed Class 3 Dragon Breath Stones in Fortune Treasure Palace's exhibition area.
Lin Yuan could tell that the Dragon Breath Stone was an excellent cultivation resource for Blackie, so he asked Zhan Lu if he had any higher-grade Dragon Breath Stones for sale.
Back then, Zhan Lu had had the intention of befriending Lin Yuan, yet in the end, he had not agree to trade higher-grade Dragon Breath Stones with Lin Yuan.
While Lin Yuan, Autumn, and Winter were collecting the resources that were easy to gather, they were also making records of the resources that were inconvenient to mine.
Lin Yuan had discovered many spirit springs in this mid-grade blessed land, and it was good news for him. His Spirit Lock spatial zone's Element Well, was lacking a nspirit spring, which could speed up the production of elemental spring water.
The area of the mid-grade blessed land was huge. After exploring for several hours, Lin Yuan did not manage to reach the edge or see any special feys produced in it.
Lin Yuan could not help but ask curiously, "Isn't it said that the higher the grade of the blessed land, the stronger the exclusivity and danger of the special feys born within it? Why haven't I seen any special feys after exploring for so long?
"I remember that when Wei Ao introduced that low-grade blessed land, he said that the special feys here would run out of the blessed land and hurt people."
Autumn explained, "Young Master, it seems like all the special feys in this mid-grade blessed land have gathered together. The fact that they display such a great social characteristic means that these special feys have a high social value and are easier to tame. Young Master, I can sense the aura of feys over there. If you want to see those special feys, you can head west."
"Let's continue exploring toward the west as usual. With another three to four hours of exploration, we should be able to encounter them."
Lin Yuan had to explore the entire mid-grade blessed land, so he was not in a hurry to change his exploration path. He was bound to encounter special feys in this mid-grade blessed land sooner or later.
"Let's continue exploring. There's no need to change our route for the special feys."
Autumn and Winter knew Lin Yuan was extremely curious, but he could suppress his curiosity and complete the exploration step by step. This meant that Lin Yuan was becoming calmer than before, an excellent quality for a leader of a faction to have.
During this time, Lin Yuan sensed no more factions swearing allegiance to the Faith Tree, so he asked Autumn to organize these members to return to their original factions. Those who could move their factions should move there and wait for Lin Yuan to bring them back to North of the Lonely River to live in a new environment.
Those who could not lead the factions to move should remain concealed within their original factions like pieces on a chessboard. Lin Yuan would provide these people with resources so that they could become the rulers of the faction step by step.
It was not a bad thing to leave some factions outside. They were entrenched near Coiled Dragon Mountain, allowing Lin Yuan to understand the information there.
…
After exploring all the way, Lin Yuan finally saw what the special feys that had been born in this mid-grade blessed land looked like. They were all in human form, but their bodies were petite. Female feys were between 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, and male feys were usually less than 1.7 meters tall. These feys all looked outstanding, but their entire eyeballs were glowing white, looking very strange.
When Lin Yuan discovered these special feys, they also discovered him.
Lin Yuan, Autumn, and Winter were considered invaders to these special feys.
As a few sharp whistles sounded, the eyes of these special feys began to emit a large amount of fluorescent light.
Lin Yuan did not feel anything under the protection of Autumn and Winter, but it was obvious that these special feys were attacking him.
Lin Yuan turned to look at Autumn and Winter.
Winter didn't say anything. He was prepared to give the opportunity to Autumn.
Autumn would be leading the Hunting Group on missions outside for a long period and would not be able to accompany Lin Yuan. Even if Autumn wanted to showcase himself before Lin Yuan, he did not have many chances. Hence, Winter very considerately gave Autumn the opportunity.
Upon seeing Winter remaining silent, Autumn hurriedly spoke. "Young Master, this species possesses a unique ocular ability. It doesn't cause spirit or soul trauma, but rather an extremely peculiar form of consciousness annihilation.
"This ability is challenging to avoid. If you want to resist it, you have to be much stronger than these feys or use your body composition to resist it. The special feys in this mid-grade blessed land have great potential and are worth nurturing!"
Upon hearing Autumn's description, Lin Yuan gained a rough understanding of the situation of these special feys. Their value could not be solely demonstrated just by attacking.
Lin Yuan used Morbius' True Data to investigate these special feys.
These extraordinary creatures were known as Wisdom Eye Brain Dragonflies and were insect-type. Their distinct appearance stemmed from undergoing mimicry.
The primary attack method of the Wisdom Eye Brain Dragonfly centered around eye techniques, boasting formidable combat prowess capable of catching opponents off guard. Even opponents of equal stature had little chance to react before succumbing to these creatures.
However, the physical fragility of the Wisdom Eye Brain Dragonfly made it susceptible to external damage.
Lin Yuan's fascination lay not in the feys' offensive capabilities, but rather in their exceptional intelligence. True Data revealed that the Wisdom Eye Brain Dragonflies' eyes operated at over 170 times the speed of typical intelligent feys. Placing such an intelligent creature within the faction could elevate it to a managerial role, overseeing factional affairs.
Currently, the faith country suffered from a shortage of managers. Su Yiren and Luo Lan had already initiated efforts to cultivate skilled individuals in Sky City. However, this process would take time, making it challenging for them to provide immediate assistance to Su Yiren and Luo Lan.
