Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

The Sacred Cry Moon Beast followed behind the Moon Empress, and it liked close-quarter combat.

After joining the Moon Empress and gaining her resources, the Sacred Cry Moon Beast attained an Eternal exclusive skill that allowed it to become a caster.

As a result, the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's abilities diverged from its body composition.

If the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast used Moon Condensed Dew to produce moon dew and nourish the Sacred Cry Moon Beast for a prolonged period, the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's body composition would improve, and it would become much stronger.

This would resolve one of the issues the Moon Empress was facing.

The Moon Empress's main fey was still Zixi, and its abilities were still related to the aura of moonlight energy.

After Zixi obtained spirit qi crystals from him, it became the only fey that reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom without help from Lin Yuan's body composition.

If the moon dew sped up Zixi's absorption of moonlight energy, its power would also improve.

Zixi's divine kingdom was exceptionally special—it could turn moonlight energy into divine kingdom power!

Moonlight energy was much easier to obtain than faith power.

The Moon Empress's Cold Moon Lone Disk was a weapon-type fey. It was not a fey that had transformed using Tool Transformation.

A weapon-type fey that used moonlight energy as a source of power could be continuously upgraded, and there was no limit to its strength!

Lin Yuan knew that the Moon Empress badly wanted to increase her power. She had become even more anxious of late.

The Desire Moon-Eyed Beast's presence would give the Moon Empress some peace and security.

Aside from Moon Condensed Dew, the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast's Elite ability, Moonlight Protection, was useful as well.

Moonlight Protection was not only linked to the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast's own power and the strength of its bloodline but was also determined by the moonlight energy in the environment.

Given the strength of moonlight energy around the Moon Empress and her divine kingdom-level power, the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast would be able to use Moonlight Protection to fend off life forms below Eternal!

If the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast joined the Moon Empress, it would be able to evolve very quickly.

Lin Yuan felt that Gazing Moon was similar to Green Vine's ability to increase its power endlessly.

But once it reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, Green Vine needed to absorb faith power as well. On the other hand, the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast only needed to continue absorbing moonlight.

Soon after joining the Moon Empress, the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast would become her second main fey after Zixi!

Dark Side of the Moon was a boosting support-type exclusive skill. It could transform moonlight energy into a special dark-type ability. Both types of energy would be used to attack the target simultaneously. This would maximize the damage dealt to the target and increase the combat power of the Moon Empress' feys!

Truthfully, the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast was also useful to the Star Vastness Peony.

In the future, if Lin Yuan wanted to speed up the Star Vastness Peony's peony, he could ask the Moon Empress for some moon dew.

Zhan Lu saw Lin Yuan looking at the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast. If this were any other special honor guest, he would begin extolling the merits of the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast in a bid to convince the special honor guest to purchase it. But he did not do so with Lin Yuan.

Zhan Lu said seriously, "Young Master Lin, there is also a Void-Shattering Eye Beast on the 14th floor. It has already opened the third eye on the back of its head and awakened its eyed-beast bloodline.

"It was personally nurtured by one of Fortune Treasure Palace's Grade 5 Creators. However, this Desire Moon-Eyed Beast isn't doing well, and its bloodline has yet to evolve. There is a high chance that its bloodline will never be able to evolve!

"Luckily, its quality evolved to Legend when it was Bronze grade. Its evolution potential won't be affected by its failure to awaken its bloodline."

From what Zhan Lu said, Lin Yuan learned that it was also common knowledge in the Sky Beyond the Clouds that the earlier a fey evolved to Legend quality, the better it was.

In the main world, many Creation Masters were still debating this matter, and there was no definite conclusion. The other federations were not as certain about this as the Radiance Federation was.

The Radiance Federation always saw this as common knowledge and taught it to their spirit qi professionals.

Lin Yuan did not know how the Creators were ranked and categorized.

The distinction for Creators had to be different from that of Creation Masters. However, there was no guarantee that Lin Yuan was incapable of doing what Grade 5 Creators could do.

Using Morbius, Lin Yuan had already confirmed that he could help the Desire Moon-Eyed Beast's bloodline to evolve.

This meant that he was much stronger than Grade 5 Creators!

"It's fine. Even if this fey's bloodline can't be evolved, I'm still very interested in it. Truthfully, I have many spirit contractors under me, and I intend to nurture them. I hope that you will be able to reach out to me first if you find any similar feys like this that have special bloodlines! Thank you in advance!"

Lin Yuan's goal was to obtain more outstanding feys from Zhan Lu. However, his methods painted him as the possessor of superior resources in Zhan Lu's eyes.

It was unsurprising that Lin Yuan had spirit contractors under him.

It was only to be expected that Lin Yuan would nurture his subordinates. However, it was abnormal for Lin Yuan to nurture his subordinates' feys!

Not all lifeforms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds could be called feys.

Only lifeforms that were Diamond grade and below could be contracted by spirit contractors.

Many powerful species would help their offspring to quickly comprehend Willpower Runes to prevent their offspring from becoming recognized as feys and contracted by someone.

Once they evolved to Suzerain/Fantasy, they could not be contracted by spirit contractors.

Because of this, it was exceptionally difficult to find powerful feys.

Lin Yuan did not want to waste time and manpower searching for these feys.

While searching for these feys, it was inevitable that they would attract hostility from some powerful species or be resented by the feys they were trying to contract.

Zhan Lu hurriedly said, "Young Master Lin, rest assured. From now on, once any resources related to feys enter storage, I will set them aside for you so you can select those you want! I won't lay them out for other guests."

Zhan Lu was very happy that Lin Yuan was making requests for feys because this meant that they could continue interacting in the future. He could also use this reason to initiate contact with Lin Yuan.

Among all the feys on the 13th floor, Lin Yuan felt that two feys were worthy of being spirit locked.

One was called the Instant Light Spike Scorpion, and the other was the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake.

The Instant Light Spike Scorpion could enter light and travel instantly to assassinate targets.

Lin Yuan did not have such a fey in his arsenal.

Besides being spirit-locked by Morbius, the Instant Light Spike Scorpion was also suitable for Liu Jie's Insect Queen. Elegance had yet to acquire a powerful insect-species fey that could utilize assassination techniques.

Regardless, Lin Yuan purchased the Instant Light Spike Scorpion.

If Liu Jie was interested in the Instant Light Spike Scorpion, Lin Yuan would give it to him so it could become Elegance's new ability.

The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's abilities were very special. Its snake eyes were akin to blooming six-petaled plum blossoms.

The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake was able to defend against other snake-species feys.

This type of ability usually appeared in dominant fey species. However, there was no species called the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake on the Species Ranking.

When Zhan Lu described the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake, he only talked about how strong and mysterious it was. He did not elaborate in detail about the ways in which the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's bloodline was extraordinary.

It was Winter who carefully examined the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake before using his soul communication to describe its background to Lin Yuan.

There was a high chance that this Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake had the Nirvana Sky Snake bloodline.

The Nirvana Sky Snake used to be a dominant snake species.

When the Nirvana Sky Snake existed, its bloodline consistently remained in the top three of all snake-species feys. It was considered extraordinary.

Winter did not recognize the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's bloodline immediately because it had already gone extinct by the time Winter started his journey in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. It was already part of legend.

Lin Yuan thought, If Winter is right and the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake truly has the Nirvana Sky Snake bloodline, it will really be worth nurturing!

…

When Lin Yuan arrived at the 14th floor and started looking through the treasures there, the Dark Pufferfish had made contact with the Bloodians.

The Bloodians were very arrogant toward other species, but they were validated in having such an attitude.

However, they were rather friendly toward the Dark Pufferfish who came from the Lonely River.

The Bloodians would need help from the Dark Pufferfish to attack the mermaids successfully.

The Dark Pufferfish's poison was the weapon that the Bloodians would use against the mermaids.

The mermaids would turn to other sea species as allies, but the Dark Pufferfish's poison was equally as effective on them.

The Bloodians had no clue that the Dark Pufferfish they intended to partner up with had already fallen under the control of someone else.

The Dark Pufferfish team was led by an elder, and this elder had witnessed Lin Yuan's methods. Hence, he put a lot of effort into this task he had to carry out with Fan Lou. This would not only satisfy Lin Yuan's orders but would also enable him to form a positive relationship with Fan Lou.

This Dark Pufferfish elder was called Piercing Thorn. He saw this mission as his chance.

In the past, all the Dark Pufferfish were under Ink Thorn's control. But now, he no longer called the shots.

Lin Yuan was the one who ruled the Dark Pufferfish now. Bei Xu, whom Lin Yuan had assigned to manage the species, was also in charge.

If he performed well, he might be able to accomplish something!

Piercing Thorn finally had the chance to address his ambition!

The Bloodians were uninterested in Fan Lou, who had been mentioned by Ink Thorn.

A distant relative of a species under their control was nothing more than a trivial character.

However, they needed to show the Dark Pufferfish the appropriate respect. Hence, the Bloodians sent an invitation to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves to invite Fan Lou to the banquet that would be taking place three days later.

This was not a significant matter to the Bloodians, but it caused a large stir among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

Feng Qing was the only Chaos Wind Demon Wolf who had ever been invited to one of the Bloodians' banquets.

Now, Fan Lou was receiving the same treatment as Feng Qing!

Fan Lou was considered a prominent character among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

Among all of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' distant relatives, Fan Lou was the only one who could not only participate in the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' meetings but could also speak authoritatively during those meetings.

All the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves believed that this privilege came from Feng Qing.

Although Feng Xuan was trying to get along with Fan Lou, he was still indignant of him.

The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' regular members were not the only ones who were surprised to see the invitation. Feng Qing, who relied on Fan Lou, was taken aback as well.

First, Feng Qing took a careful look at the contents of the invitation before he called for Fan Lou. He placed the invitation in Fan Lou's hands before asking seriously, "Fan Lou, what is going on? Did something happen when you went to see the Dark Pufferfish? How did you convince them to support you so strongly and recommend you as their liaison with the Bloodians?"

Fan Lou was well aware of the reason, but he would not tell Feng Qing about it.

The Dark Pufferfish envoy also had the Thoughts Letter Paper.

His Thoughts Letter Paper could not be used to contact Lin Yuan, but he could contact the Dark Pufferfish envoy.

"Lord Feng Qing, the Light Wind Wolves were not the only ones who went with me to meet with the Dark Pufferfish. The Forbidden Wolf Team was there the entire time, too. I didn't do anything special!"

While he spoke, Fan Lou looked deep in thought, as though he was remembering everything that happened during the journey.

Feng Qing looked at Fan Lou with suspicious inquisitiveness.

If Fan Lou had not done anything, there was no reason for the Dark Pufferfish to recommend him this strongly.

Feng Qing had already spoken with the leader of the Forbidden Wolf Team, Feng Nuo, and the latter's surprise had been genuine.

Feng Nuo also said that the Dark Pufferfish envoy who had received the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had been very arrogant and had not been courteous toward Fan Lou at all.

This meant that Fan Lou had not secretly contacted the Dark Pufferfish.

Now that Fan Lou was receiving such treatment from the Dark Pufferfish, it meant that something major had to have happened.

With Fan Lou's refusal to tell him about it, Feng Qing was beginning to doubt Fan Lou's loyalty.

Once Feng Qing ascertained Fan Lou's disloyalty, he would not only stop using Fan Lou but would also rescind all the benefits he had given Fan Lou.

Feng Qing's eyes narrowed when he saw that Fan Lou had yet to speak.

At that moment, it seemed as though a thought suddenly struck Fan Lou, and he said with a tone of shocked realization, "Oh! When I went to North of the Lonely River to search for resources for you, I came across a young Dark Pufferfish who had been bitten by a water crocodile. I saved him. Is it possible that he comes from a special background?"
