Chapter 797: The Three Stages of the Spirit Qi Awakening
The First Elder of Dark Clouds Bird Shrine and Long Tu both wanted to trade for Law Crystals.
After they exchanged looks, the First Elder tried to please Lin Yuan by saying, “My Lord, can Dark Clouds Bird Shrine have some of your Law Crystals? You can have your pick from our treasure collection.”
The First Elder’s words shocked both Lin Yuan and Long Tu.
Long Tu did not expect the First Elder to be willing to make such a serious offer.
By opening up the treasure collection, Lin Yuan would have access to all of the Li family’s precious resources.
The treasure collection of a top faction hid their secrets. Yet the First Elder of the Li family was willing to give Lin Yuan access to their secrets in exchange for Law Crystals.
This was a huge sacrifice.
Long Tu was momentarily too taken aback to pick up after the First Elder.
Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s treasure collection might not have any important secrets after only having been a top faction for 40 years, but the family’s treasure collection was different.
Before this century of the Spirit Qi Awakening, there had been five years of Spirit Qi Vacuum.
Before the five years of Spirit Qi Vacuum, there were almost 5,000 years of Spirit Qi Thinning.
This century of Spirit Qi Awakening had allowed humans to form contracts with feys and become spirit qi professionals.
However, the Long family’s ancestors had already started using spirit qi to collect treasures since the Spirit Qi Thinning period and established a solid foundation for Coiling Dragon’s Valley.
Long Tu would be extremely pained if any of these items were taken away.
Hence, Long Tu planned on observing first.
If Lin Yuan agreed to work with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, Long Tu would decide whether or not to make his advancement based on what Lin Yuan picked from Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s treasure collection.
Long Tu had already gained one Law Crystal and healed his fey, whose roots had been injured. The fey was no longer stuck at Myth III.
However, no faction would complain that they had too many Law Crystals.
The Long family was in great need of Law Crystals.
Most pinnacle emperor-cla.s.s experts had the potential to become thearch-cla.s.s experts. However, without Law Crystals, they would be stuck at the pinnacle emperor-cla.s.s.
Lin Yuan did not expect the First Elder to offer to open their treasure collection to him. This gesture moved Lin Yuan immensely.
But even so, Lin Yuan did not plan on giving up too many Law Crystals.
With a wave of his hand, three crystal fragments appeared in Lin Yuan’s hand.
After Lin Yuan shook the fragments in his hand, he said to the First Elder, “I only have three Law Crystal fragments. Since the Li family is so sincere, I’m willing to allow the Li family to have two.”
Lin Yuan’s words made Long Tu unable to continue to sit silently.
However, even as the head of the family, he could not decide to open Coiling Dragon’s Valley’s treasure collection on his own.
Since Lin Yuan was only willing to allow Dark Clouds Bird Shrine to have two Law Crystal fragments, Long Tu could have the last one.
Long Tu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I’m willing to use one Suzerain/Myth III poison-type Law Crystal to exchange for one Law Crystal with pure law power. Is that okay?”
Long Tu had only said this after deep contemplation.
One poison-type Myth III Law Crystal could enable much more evolution than a fingernail-sized Law Crystal.
However, poison-type laws were too unorthodox, and Coiling Dragon’s Valley did not have use for them.
Although a Myth III poison-type Law Crystal could benefit a poison-type fey 50 times more than a fingernail-sized Law Crystal, it could not help a fey that was stuck at pinnacle Myth II evolve to Myth III.
It was worth it to use one Myth III poison-type Law Crystal that was just collecting dust in storage to exchange for a Suzerain/Myth III fey.
But this was as far as Long Tu could go.
Lin Yuan was delighted to hear this.
But once happiness bloomed in Lin Yuan, he curbed it before it burst out of control, and none of it emerged through his expression.
Lin Yuan had trained this emotionless facade over the course of the past eight months.
There were very few poison-type laws. The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen had absorbed many Law Crystal fragments, but it had never absorbed a poison-type law.
The rarity of poison-type feys in the Radiance Federation caused an awkward position for poison-type Law Crystals amongst all Law Crystals.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan felt that poison-type laws would be of great use to him.
The willpowers and laws on the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s skirt could be applied to Lin Yuan. When fighting against Zhou Luo, Lin Yuan had accidentally discovered that the laws carved on the skirt could strengthen his immunity against laws.
As a weak spirit qi professional that only had a fleshy body, he was most afraid of being poisoned rather than injured by physical or elemental attacks.
Although the Jasmine Lily could fix genetic models and regrow limbs, it was helpless against strong poisons.
If Lin Yuan was poisoned during an actual life-and-death battle, Lin Yuan would have no choice but to amputate the poisoned area.
Then, he would use the Jasmine Lily’s Severed Limbs Growth to regrow the amputated area.
This method would only be effective against feys that used slow-acting poison.
The Ethereal Jellyfish’s Spatial s.h.i.+ft could transport elemental energy, and poison was not pure elemental energy. Thus, Spatial s.h.i.+ft would not be very effective against poison.
Lin Yuan had never had a good solution to counter poison.
Although some spiritual ingredients could increase a spirit qi professional’s defense against poison, these spiritual ingredients were always poison themselves.
While they increased the body’s susceptibility to poison, it would also cause enormous pain and even result in disfigurement from the decaying of skin.
Lin Yuan might not place much value on his own looks, but he did not want to be disfigured just to increase his defense against poison.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but think, If I can use one Law Crystal to exchange for a Suzerain/Myth III poison-type law and allow the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to absorb it, my resistance to poison should increase dramatically. I can’t get this increase from the spiritual ingredients that improve resistance.
