Chapter 1239: Mystic Moon’s Tears and Essence Blood
If someone had told the Moon Empress ten years ago that her disciple would change her lifespan, she would teach them a lesson they would never forget for bringing up something so ludicrous.
The Moon Empress of a decade ago could never imagine that she would accept a disciple one day. She had only decided to do so last year.
But the moment she came up with the necessary criteria, Ling Xiao immediately found the right candidate.
Up to the moment Lin Yuan appeared, the Moon Empress would never have believed that her disciple would one day change her lifespan.
Lin Yuan constantly shocked her with things like the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls and pure spirit qi, which were difficult for even a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master to produce.
When she had first obtained the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, she determined that they were the same species as the Flower Brocade Pearls.
After gaining the pure spirit qi from Lin Yuan, she tried using it to activate the Flower Brocade Pearls. Alas, the reaction was lackl.u.s.ter, and they did not evolve into the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.
It was then she realized that the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls were not related to the pure spirit qi. It was more likely that they had been mutated through a special process.
The pure spirit qi and Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls were evidence that Lin Yuan had silently surpa.s.sed her in the field of Creation Master skills.
The Moon Empress did not probe Lin Yuan about how he did it. She was just filled with pride and joy for him.
…
But regardless of the fact that Lin Yuan had surpa.s.sed her in terms of Creation Master skills, the Moon Empress never expected him to be able to alter her lifespan.
Yet, he was now presenting her with the Lifespan Mouse.
The level of astonishment that the Moon Empress was feeling was different from when she received the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls and pure spirit qi.
There were many ways to evolve and mutate lifeforms. There were even several Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters who had mutated extremely valuable feys.
If the Moon Empress’ Creation Master level were raised, the spirit qi she produced would also become purer.
...
The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls and pure spirit qi could produce feasible effects. However, the Lifespan Mouse could alter life itself.
As far as the Moon Empress’ knowledge went, such feys that could increase a person’s lifespan should not exist in this world.
Once she formed a contract with the Lifespan Mouse, she would have fulfilled the dream of countless experts.
Extended life!
With Cicada Song’s help, the Moon Empress had unlocked many secrets to unlock the heavenly road.
Once her birth horoscope awakened five years later, she would have another chance to charge toward the heavenly path.
After contracting the Lifespan Mouse, her lifespan would not be restricted to another three years.
As the Lifespan Mouse continued to consume spiritual ingredients that contained vitality, the Moon Empress’ life would be further extended. As such, she would no longer have to be terrified about putting her lifespan at risk when she tried to break through again in the future.
The Moon Empress glanced at the Lifespan Mouse before turning her gaze onto Lin Yuan. All her messy emotions dissipated when she saw his smile.
At that moment, all she felt was happiness.
The Lifespan Mouse would allow her to protect Lin Yuan forever and continue to ensure that his path was smooth.
The second person to recover from their dazed state was Mystic Moon. The corners of his lips twitched, and he babbled to the Moon Empress and Lin Yuan, “Moon Empress, Young Lord, I better go and check on the situation in the kitchen.”
Before the Moon Empress nodded, he turned and rushed off to the kitchen.
Lin Yuan had been deep in thought but was interrupted by Mystic Moon’s voice.
Lin Yuan managed to catch the tremor in Mystic Moon’s voice. A few of the words even sounded choked.
Was Mystic Moon crying?
Lin Yuan immediately shook his head. He had no clue that the moment Mystic Moon stepped out of the inner palace tears started to well up in his eyes.
Mystic Moon did not blink, and the tears did not spill out from his eyes as he instantly evaporated them using his spiritual power.
When he had heard about the Moon Empress’ condition from Cicada Song, he felt his world come cras.h.i.+ng down.
In the past 50 years that they had spent together, Mystic Moon never imagined the day would come that death would separate them.
His eyes had welled up slightly when he had been in the kitchen.
When he saw the way the Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan in the inner palace, his eyes immediately welled up again.
However, he had held them back.
But when he saw the Lifespan Mouse and realized that the Moon Empress’ tragic fate of only having three years left was resolved, the overwhelming excitement broke the dam and allowed his elation to burst through.

As his tears evaporated, Mystic Moon tried to collect himself multiple times.
The feelings of excitement made the handsome Mystic Moon’s face seem rather distended.
His mouth had split so far that the corners were almost touching his ears, revealing a mouthful of pearly teeth.
Silver patterns appeared on his teeth and seemed to be on the cusp of turning into dragon fangs.
At that moment, Mystic Moon found it difficult to control his emotions.
This expression of tears of joy made the exceptionally attractive Mystic Moon appear slightly ugly.
Yet, the sorrow of knowing that the Moon Empress’ lifespan had been reduced to another three years could not vanish in an instant.
Hence, Mystic Moon’s uncharacteristic expression lasted till he arrived in the kitchen.
Now that he had fully recovered, he could properly control his delight.
He went back to carefully cooking the Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s bird nest and Island Whale’s brain oil.
Previously, he had cooked with a heavy heart and did it extremely unhappily as he knew that they were meant to aid in Lin Yuan’s absorption of the Earth Center Fine Milk.
But now, he was cooking with a complete change of heart that was filled with grat.i.tude.
His body started to glow with silver light, and a blood pearl with silver and gold hues appeared in front of his chest.
Mystic Moon placed the blood pearl into the cooking Island Whale’s brain oil.
The Island Whale’s brain oil was very effective in nouris.h.i.+ng and protecting the soul. Lin Yuan needed to consume it in order to absorb the Earth Center Fine Milk.
The Moon Empress did not like to eat fish, and there was a fishy taste to the Island Whale’s brain oil which was present in all aquatic lifeforms.
Hence, the Moon Empress did not touch the Island Whale’s brain oil when she dined.
If the Moon Empress found out that he had added essence blood from his heart into the dish, she would definitely reprimand him.
The more elite the dragon species fey’s bloodline, the more difficult it would be to extract their essence blood.
A Gold dragon-species fey could easily produce 200 to 300 drops of essence blood. However, it was difficult for a Myth Breed fey to produce more than 10 drops of essence blood.
At Mystic Moon’s level, he would only be able to produce three drops of essence blood at most.
