Chapter 147: Quality Upgrade
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dimensional rifts had undoubtedly all sorts of source-type items. The source-type items had no exact strength or weakness in terms of ability. They were either compatible or incompatible, and sometimes, it was even up to how one would use them in the future.
It was just like the Source Seed that Lin Yuan had produced Red Thorn from. The Radiance Federation’s Scholars had once identified Source Seeds as one of the most useless source-type items. But in Lin Yuan’s hands, Red Thorn had perfectly stopped the pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 insect tide based on its exclusive skill.
There were too many types of source-type items, and it had only been over 100 years since the Radiance Federation’s Spirit Qi Awakening.
Although many dimensional rifts had opened, there were still a huge amount of source-type items that remained unique to this day.
Each spirit qi professional had a different route to pairing with and choosing their feys. Therefore, it was very much a matter of luck to find the right one among the random source-type items in the dimensional rifts.
The feys’ contracts all depended on the spirit qi professional’s spiritual energy, but not the Source Seed. Although everyone’s spiritual energy differed, there was a limit to their spiritual energy. The contract of a Source Seed might likely not occupy their spiritual energy. This was undoubtedly akin to having an extra contracted fey spot.
A source-type item that did not occupy one’s spiritual energy was an excellent choice for Lin Yuan, whose spiritual energy was almost completely occupied by Morbius. However, a Source Seed that did not occupy one’s spiritual energy might also have more demanding requirements. For example, Cheng Rui’s Spine Gu would require a spine and harm the contractor’s roots.
Source-type items were so precious that they rarely circulated even in Star Web’s Treasure Pavilion. This was because even if any source-type items were not applicable, most experts with source-type items would choose to keep them and not sell them easily.
Besides going into the dimensional rifts to obtain the source-type items, they could only be obtained by exchanging with the Radiance Federation’s merits.
Most of the transactions between individuals for source-type items were through bartering—exchanging it with another source-type item.
It was difficult to go into a dimensional rift and obtain the source-type items.
When the pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 alien insect dimensional rift opened, although only three Cla.s.s 3 alien insects had descended because of the rift’s energy, there were many Cla.s.s 3 alien insects in a pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 alien insect dimensional rift. The sea of insects inside would keep pouring out of the rift, mostly because they had been squeezed out by the other alien insects inside.
One could imagine how perilous it was inside such a dimensional rift.
Only a Suzerain/Legend I fey like the Mother of Bloodbath could easily obtain a source-type item from a pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift.
Otherwise, even a king-cla.s.s expert would at least need to form a squad to take down the world inside the dimensional rift and obtain the source-type item.
Lin Yuan did not bother to check out exactly what the source-type item the Mother of Bloodbath had taken from the rift or why it had said it was suitable for Red Thorn.
Instead, he stored the source-type item, which looked like a translucent thumb-sized insect egg, in the Diamond fey storage box. Lin Yuan thought that this was not a good time to study this newly-acquired source-type item.
At that moment, many sharp chirping sounds from large avian feys came from the sky.
Soon, these sharp chirping sounds approached.
Lin Yuan looked over and recognized that the hundreds of avian feys were Gold Blade-Winged Feathered Eagles.
On the back of each Gold Blade-Winged Feathered Eagle stood a spirit qi professional with armor engraved with dragon-species fey patterns.
These people who suddenly arrived on the Blade-Winged Feathered Eagles were none other than the Ascending Dragon Guards from the Ascending Dragon City under the famous city lord.
The pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift had vanished from the sky, as though no new alien insects would appear.
The remaining alien insects were swallowed by the sea of flowers and could no longer be healed, just like stagnant water.
Soon, these alien insects were more or less gone.
When the Ascending Dragon Guards saw that the sea of flowers had devoured the insect tide in Millstone Town, they could not help but widen their mouths one by one.
In particular, the Ascending Dragon Guards’ leader felt that the scene before him was surreal.
But when he saw the intact Millstone Town, he could not help but start laughing.
His peals of laughter were full of joy, with his worries dissipated.
When the Ascending Dragon Guards had received news that a pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift had opened outside Millstone Town, they had immediately gathered two large teams and headed to the town without a moment’s delay.
Their only wish on the way there was for their Gold Blade-Winged Feathered Eagles to fly faster.
A pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift was no joke at all. They had thought that Millstone Town might have become a paradise for the alien insects. However, when they finally arrived, they realized that it was intact and had managed to protect itself.
The Ascending Dragon Guards were somewhat curious about where the pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift had gone. If they had not seen the traces of battle outside Millstone Town, they would probably not believe that a pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift had opened there.
However, the Ascending Dragon Guards did not really care much about these. After all, their goal was to save Millstone Town. The other departments of the Ascending Dragon City would settle the matters afterward.
The Ascending Dragon Guards’ leader looked at the situation at hand and could not help but touch his big bald head.
They probably had to return without success as that strange sea of flowers had nearly devoured all the insect tide.
Lin Yuan would undoubtedly benefit the most from this dimensional rift. Not only had he obtained a source-type item from it, but his Red Thorn’s child ramets and ramets had nearly devoured this insect tide, and hence gave Red Thorn a huge amount of flesh energy, allowing its quality to upgrade.
Lin Yuan had always been suppressing Red Thorn’s grade and let it upgrade its quality first.
After devouring the vast amounts of flesh energy, Red Thorn had jumped from Normal to Elite and Flawless.
Upon seeing that the Ascending Dragon City’s Ascending Dragon Guards had taken over the situation outside Millstone Town, Lin Yuan knew that Red Thorn’s sea of flowers Red was no longer needed.
He then ordered Red Thorn to deal with the child ramets and ramets.
Upon receiving Lin Yuan’s order, Red Thorn’s roots danced and siphoned all the energy from the child ramets and ramets.
Many Normal child ramets and Elite ramets instantly withered, and they transferred all their energy to Red Thorn’s body through the connected root system.
Red Thorn trembled violently before this withering sea of flowers, and Lin Yuan could clearly feel that it had grown much stronger than before. Its Mouth of Relinquish had become even bigger, and the barbs on its vines had become sharper and longer. Red Thorn had evolved from Flawless to Epic.
The pinnacle Cla.s.s 1 dimensional rift’s insects had nearly all become sacrifices to the Red Thorn’s Mouth of Relinquish.
Thanks to the insects frantically presenting themselves, Red Thorn’s quality underwent a transformation!
