Chapter 1242: I Did it for Young Lord’s Sake

If he required a mammoth amount of spiritual energy to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline, most of his spiritual energy was being used on Morbius. He only had enough to contract one normal fey.

If the fey with the Barren bloodline needed more spiritual energy than a normal fey, he would not be able to contract it.

Hence, he asked the Moon Empress, “Master, what are the conditions to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline? I don’t have a lot of usable spiritual energy left.”

The Moon Empress knew about his alternate identity as Black, so she knew he had contracted many feys.

She was not shocked that he did not have much spiritual energy left.

Despite his young age, Lin Yuan had already contracted many feys. The Moon Empress felt that he was already far ahead of all his peers.

As she looked at his worried expression, she explained to him seriously, “One person can only contract one fey with a Barren bloodline, unlike sacred source lifeforms where a person can contract more than one as long as their soul is strong enough.

“Once you form a contract with a fey with a Barren bloodline, it will bind together with all of you. While the Barren bloodline is maturing, its contractor will be able to receive some of the bloodline power. The bloodline power will greatly strengthen the contractor’s body.

“Little Yuan, don’t worry. The fey with the Barren bloodline will only use up a small amount of your spiritual energy. The most important factors are your physique and the strength of your soul. You might be in a lot of pain during tonight’s dinner, but you have to do your best to eat as much as possible. It will help you absorb the Earth Center Fine Milk’s energy better as well as give you an easier time later.”

While the Moon Empress was talking to Lin Yuan, Mystic Moon led the spirit attendants and served the dinner dishes.

Jin Qi was holding the Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s nest. Its fragrance wafted into Jin Qi’s nose and triggered the blood flowing within her.

If its scent was enough to have such effects, Jin Qi could not imagine what the effects would be once it was eaten.

In the past, Jin Qi had wanted to seduce Lin Yuan to raise her position in the Radiant Moon Palace. But as she gazed at the Lin Yuan standing next to the Moon Empress, she understood that her idea would only ever be realistic as a pipe dream.

Jin Qi could not help but be envious of Wen Yu. But at the same time, she felt that Wen Yu was extremely stupid!

Wen Yu spent every day by Lin Yuan’s side and had ample opportunity to reap the benefits of her position. Yet, she never grabbed her chance and made Lin Yuan hers.

If Lin Yuan had chosen Jin Qi, she might already be carrying his child and enjoying the life of being waited on hand and foot by the other spirit attendants. Naturally, this was only a fantasy she kept to herself.

If she made this fantasy of hers known, she would probably be dumped into the Sin Cleansing Pool by Mystic Moon and be forced to reflect on herself.

Lin Yuan noticed the spirit attendants serving the dishes and instinctively used True Data.

His jaw dropped. This was too ridiculous!

He had thought of himself as extremely wealthy, given that heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were produced every minute in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

But all of his riches were only barely enough to buy one portion of Island Whale brain oil.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt that something was wrong. The Island Whale’s brain oil was dark gold which was not its normal color.

The Island Whale had to be at least 600 years old to be able to produce brain oil of this color.

Lin Yuan gulped.

As he looked at this obscenely expensive brain oil, he saw himself as a pauper.

Frankly, he could not use True Data to check on many of the spiritual ingredients. This meant that they all came from Immortal Breed feys.

Although he never scrimped and saved when it came to food, he could not help but continuously marvel at how opulent this meal was.

But it was only when he started eating that he realized that opulence did not equate to taste.

He had an agonizing time eating the food.

The Moon Empress spooned a bowl of Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s nest for him. When it first touched his tongue, it was sweet and pleasant. It was as though he was kissing a pair of the softest lips.

This was the first time that Lin Yuan was experiencing such a feeling.

But once he swallowed it, the taste and texture disappeared. All Lin Yuan could feel was a raging heat that was enveloping him.

His blood surged and thrashed. Lin Yuan felt as though his blood was flowing at three times its normal speed.

At the same time, his heart started pounding like a drum, and large beads of sweat rose on his forehead.

The Moon Empress said with a pained expression, “Little Yuan, once you’re done drinking this bowl of bird’s nest, down the Island Whale’s brain oil immediately. Finally, eat as much of the rest of the other dishes as you can. The more you eat, the stronger you’ll become. You have to use up all your determination now!”

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and gulped down the Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s nest as quickly as he could before holding up the jade bowl of Island Whale’s brain oil and pouring it down his throat.

He ate so quickly that the food could not settle in his body quickly enough to match the rate he was putting more food in.

The Jade-Eating Blood Swallow’s bird nest only started to take effect when Lin Yuan was done drinking the Island Whale’s brain oil.

His rushing blood made his blood vessels bulge out of his skin and made Lin Yuan feel a strange euphoria.

This also increased Lin Yuan’s eating speed.

When he moved on to the other dishes, he felt as though an ocean had been stuffed into his soul. He felt so bloated that all the hairs on his body stood on end.

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt that he had reached his limit.

Suddenly, he thought of Morbius’ Calm Mind.

Calm Mind’s effects were meant to be activated, but it could also be initiated.

He used Calm Mind continuously and fought against his discomfort to continue gobbling down the food.

As the Moon Empress watched Lin Yuan frantically stuff food into his body, she turned her gaze onto Mystic Moon.

Mystic Moon retracted his neck and said softly, “Moon Empress, I did it for Young Lord’s sake!”
