Chapter 121: Upgrading to Legend
When Wen Yu walked out of Lin Yuan’s pavilion, she might have a pale complexion and was still sickly in appearance, but her eyes emitted a different light. It wasn’t as bright as the l.u.s.trous stars, but it was a kind of determination of being acknowledged.
She was holding tightly to a very small amber-colored bottle and was just clamping on it tightly. The afternoon sun was burning like fire, and even though it was deep into autumn, it still gave warmth to the body.
Wen Yu walked on the stone pavement and looked at the bottle in her hands. Her eyes suddenly turned red. A tear dropped on the stone pavement with a ‘drip’ sound, which produced a watermark. The watermark was quickly evaporated by the proud afternoon sun, and even the tears in Wen Yu’s eyes turned into mist.
The bottle she was holding tightly contained a drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar. It was the Radiant Moon Palace’s exclusive product, and it was always precious.
Even the spirit attendants nurtured by the Radiant Moon Palace would only be able to obtain one drop when they were selected as spirit attendants. It helped to cleanse the impurities within their bodies and increase their potential.
The Radiant Moon Palace might seem like a peaceful place, but the compet.i.tion between spirit attendants never stopped. A moment of impulse and kindness had allowed Wen Yu to see the world’s harsh reality during this year.
With this drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar in her hand, she would be able to cleanse her body’s impurities again and heal her injured roots. Therefore, once she drank this drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar, she would be able to remove the burden.
At that moment, Wen Yu wasn’t just grateful for this drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar. It was because the uncertain path she had chosen had now been proven to be correct. At least, someone had acknowledged this path, and she wasn’t just a kind-hearted fool.
To sacrifice one’s future to do a good deed might sound nice, but Wen Yu might not do it again. Even if she was going to do so, she would weigh out the options with the benefits and losses. After a close encounter with the harsh reality, it allowed Wen Yu to know when she should be using her kindness.
Lin Yuan didn’t wish to see an originally kind-hearted person turning to the darkness at the end. At least, this drop of Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia nectar would allow a kind-hearted young girl to retain that injured kindness, keeping it at the bottom of her heart.
...
When the Mother of Bloodbath saw that Lin Yuan was preparing to enhance feys, it flashed and went outside of the pavilion. It laid on the pavilion’s roof motionlessly as though it was going into a deep sleep.
When a Creation Master enhanced feys, it would easily distract the Creation Master if someone was around. Thus, when Creation Masters wanted to enhance feys, they would choose to be in the breeding room where no one would disturb them.
When there was a contest between Creation Masters, apart from comparing their capabilities, they would also compare their mental attributes and resistance to disturbances. When a Creation Master was preparing a concoction, the sound of a slight distraction might waste all of the spiritual ingredients and might even affect the fey from evolving to the next grade or upgrading its quality.
Lin Yuan returned to the pavilion and took out the spiritual ingredients he had obtained from the Radiant Moon Palace’s vault. He checked them carefully, and when there wasn’t any problem, he placed them on the table.
This matter involved the upgrading of his feys’ quality, so Lin Yuan had to be cautious. He first soaked in the spring water to clean off the dust on his body before changing into a set of clean clothes. He was preparing to upgrade the qualities for the Jasmine Lily, Chimey, Genius, the Spirit-Gather Goldfish, and the Blue Flash Purple b.u.t.terfly.
Lin Yuan never had the chance to upgrade a fey’s quality from Epic to Legend, so he didn’t know the difficulty level. Although he imagined that it wasn’t going to be easy, he would finally experience it.
He now had a total of seven feys. However, Morbius’ quality couldn’t be upgraded with normal methods as the quality of the spirit-locked feys would upgrade it. Red Thorn would also have to upgrade its quality by the consumption of flesh.
As such, Lin Yuan could only upgrade the quality of the Jasmine Lily, Chimey, Genius, Spirit-Gather Goldfish, and Blue Flash Purple b.u.t.terfly. Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. Since he was going to go into seclusion and upgrade the quality of all five feys, he simply chose the Jasmine Lily as the first fey.
Lin Yuan prepared a purple sand pot[1] before pouring the Revival Soil inside. He then took out two Mahogany Tree Cores, which were superior among the other Mahogany Tree Cores. While looking at the dark red Mahogany Tree Cores, Lin Yuan couldn’t help touching them a little.
The Mahogany Tree Cores were filled with tree bark patterns. They were tree cores from Mahogany Pines, and for each year of age, the tree core would have an additional pattern. Hence, when Lin Yuan looked at these Mahogany Tree Cores, he knew that they came from two, at least, 100-year-old Mahogany Pines.
Lin Yuan took out a crystal bowl before crus.h.i.+ng and grinding them carefully. He then poured the Mahogany Tree Cores’ powder into the Revival Soil and stirred them up meticulously. Immediately after, Lin Yuan planted his Bronze X/Epic Jasmine Lily into the mixture.
The Jasmine Lily quickly extended its roots into the mixture before starting to absorb the nutrients. The Jasmine Lily was lush and plump as a succulent, while the flower was translucent and limpid, emitting a light fragrance.
As it got closer to the core of the flower, the color would look more like jade. If one took a casual glance, they would feel as though there was a good-looking jade at the center of the Jasmine Lily’s flower.
Since the Jasmine Lily was taking root, Lin Yuan started to pour in the Gra.s.swood Fountain Water slowly. Once the soil mixture was moist enough, he stopped pouring more Gra.s.swood Fountain Water and circulated his spiritual power to enhance the Jasmine Lily.
Every time the Jasmine Lily absorbed the Gra.s.swood Fountain Water in the soil mixture, the soil mixture would dry up, and Lin Yuan would pour in more Gra.s.swood Fountain Water. As the Jasmine Lily absorbed the energy within the mixture of Revival Soil, Mahogany Tree Cores, and Gra.s.swood Fountain Water, it would become greener.
Lin Yuan enhanced the Jasmine Lily for a few hours before checking on its condition. He felt that it was truly a huge task to upgrade the Jasmine Lily’s quality to Legend. Thus, he entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone to enhance the Jasmine Lily under an environment with more concentrated spirit qi.
Time elapsed quickly. Apart from having his meals and five hours of sleep, Lin Yuan would spend the rest of the time enhancing the Jasmine Lily.
Five days later, apart from a small portion of Revival Soil left, the two Mahogany Tree Cores’ powder and one liter of Gra.s.swood Fountain Water had been used up by Lin Yuan. The Jasmine Lily had already stopped absorbing the purple sand pot’s energy, and Lin Yuan realized that its quality was now Legend.
Lin Yuan let out a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead. After upgrading the Jasmine Lily’s quality from Epic to Legend, Lin Yuan was now more certain. He knew that it would take around five days to enhance a Bronze fey from Epic to Legend within the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
