Chapter 482: Greed and Change
When Lin Yuan was done, he noticed that the Blood Brew Grapevine was rather greedy.
It originally did not have many roots, but it had grown numerous more in order to absorb all the Eyes of Relinquish.
The new roots soon joined the old roots in entering the Eyes of Relinquish.
The Blood Brew Grapevine only started to absorb the blood energy in the Eyes of Relinquish after it had ensured that it had engulfed every piece.
Lin Yuan noticed that the Blood Brew Grapevine had its little tricks when it came to this process.
The Blood Brew Grapevine’s new roots were much sharper than the old ones, and they were covered with a wooden exterior.
The Blood Brew Grapevine no longer needed Lin Yuan’s help thanks to the new roots.
It could now break down the Eyes of Relinquish’s defenses on its own.
The blood energy from each of the 29 Eyes of Relinquish was eventually all absorbed into the Blood Brew Grapevine’s body.
The vines on top of the Blood Brew Grapevine started to playfully dangle its new roots.
With the addition of its new roots, the Blood Brew Grapevine looked as though it had grown twice in size.
Lin Yuan was unbothered.
The old person who had sold the Blood Brew Grapevine should have pruned all of its vines and leaves. All that was left was the main vine. This ensured that all the blood energy the Blood Brew Grapevine absorbed would be focused on growing Blood Brew Grapes along the main vine.
However, Lin Yuan preferred the Blood Brew Grapevine to grow more vines so as to increase the number of Blood Brew Grapes it produced at a time.
Although this would undoubtedly increase the Blood Brew Grapes’ growing time, not pruning the new vines could also preserve the energy in the Blood Brew Grapevine’s body. After all, the Blood Brew Grapevine needed to channel more blood energy into regrowing the parts that had been pruned.
The Mother of Bloodbath would need to eat an immeasurable number of Blood Brew Grapes if it wanted to promote to Myth III. As such, the Mother of Bloodbath would be able to eat its fill of Blood Brew Grapes whenever the Blood Brew Grapevine produced its maximum number of Blood Brew Grapes.
Lin Yuan did a quick check to ensure that everything was in order before storing both Red Thorn and the Blood Brew Grapevine into the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box.
Previously, Lin Yuan had not instructed Red Thorn to store its Eyes of Relinquish because of his experimentation on the Eyes of Relinquish.
But now that Lin Yuan was going to get Red Thorn to continuously produce Eyes of Relinquish to nurture the Blood Brew Grapevine, it was better to maintain the 60 Eyes of Relinquish on Red Thorn.
The extra Eyes of Relinquish would be placed at the Blood Brew Grapevine’s roots.
The Source Sand might be Lin Yuan’s current main choice of fey to use in battle, but Red Thorn’s fighting abilities could strike a team as a whole. It could only be of significant use under the right circ.u.mstances.
Lin Yuan was accustomed to expanding the range of effectiveness of his fighting power, for it allowed him to utilize the best action regardless of what situation he was facing.
Despite already having powerful guardians like the Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer by his side—not to mention the Extreme Token the Moon Empress had given him—Lin Yuan felt it was best to remain on his toes.
Since the Blood Brew Grapevine could absorb the Eyes of Relinquish and was growing rapidly, Lin Yuan could now set his worries at ease.
This undeniably helped Lin Yuan save a large amount of money.
The Eyes of Relinquish came from water world dimensional lifeforms. They had enormous bodies, and each piece of their flesh was sold for cheap. It was the most affordable meat ingredient in the world.
Since Red Thorn could rely on these water world dimensional lifeforms to sustain itself, it saved Lin Yuan the effort of collecting the blood of feys.
Lin Yuan used to stress about how to procure the water world dimensional lifeforms, but one stroll through the Indigo Azure Sea Market had resolved that worry.
It was almost time for the dimensional rift’s active period. There was an endless stream of people coming to trade for water world dimensional lifeforms with the Indigo Azure Guards.
Lin Yuan planned to strike up a deal with the middle-aged man when he returned to the Royal Capital. It would be best if he managed to get his hands on some water world dimensional lifeform to store in the Diamond fey storage box.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan realized that if the Mother of Bloodbath knew that the Blood Brew Grapes it consumed were made from water world dimensional lifeforms, it might be repulsed.
Lin Yuan dismissed the thought as unimportant. The important thing was that the Blood Brew Grapes were packed full of the sparkling blood energy that the Mother of Bloodbath needed.
Now that he had finished all his additional ch.o.r.es, Lin Yuan could focus on his own affairs.
Lin Yuan took the Mountain-Containing Embryo he had traded out of the b.u.t.ton-shaped fey storage box.
The Mountain-Containing Embryo was jumping around, and it looked like a bean to Lin Yuan.
The Mountain-Containing Embryo carried an air of virtue as it leaped about. It seemed as though this small yellow ball could even scale mountains. It could also be said that the Mountain-Containing Embryo felt like it was part of the mountains itself.
Lin Yuan turned the Source Sand into some landscape rocks and wrapped the jumping Mountain-Containing Embryo inside.
Lin Yuan could feel the Source Sand’s strange happiness, showing that it was glad to be of service to him.
Inside of the Mountain-Containing Embryo was the ever-changing consciousness of the mountains.
Thus, when the Source Sand was covering over the Mountain-Containing Embryo, it could use Metal Consume Manifestation to devour the Day and Night Spirit Silver. It would use its memory of the shape of the Divine Travel Black Swallow’s feather to produce the golden feathers Gray grew when it evolved into the Sky-Clouded Crane.
The golden feather was much more complicated to produce than the Divine Travel Black Swallow’s feathers. Hence, some time was needed in order to fully memorize and implement the change.
The Source Sand would also take time to fully absorb the Mountain-Containing Embryo’s altered abilities.
As such, Lin Yuan stored the hardworking Source Sand away.
