Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-3108

Lin Yuan used Morbius' True Data to investigate the Spirit World Barrier Turtle.

[Fey Name]: Spirit World Barrier Turtle

[Fey Species]: Swamp-turtle-species/colored-turtle-species

[Fey Grade]: Bronze (10/10)

[Fey Type]: Water

[Fey Quality]: Legend

Abilities:

[Condensation Barrier]: Combine all the energy and spirit qi that it can touch to form a barrier. The barrier can block the interaction between the inside and outside of the barrier and block the detection of the inside of the barrier.

[Energy Discharge]: When attacked by energy, it can choose not to digest this energy. Instead, it can store this energy in the turtle shell and release it from its mouth. The energy released is comparable to the intensity of the energy attack.

Exclusive Skill:`

[Ten Thousand Techniques Body]: All energy attacks that come into contact with the body will immediately be absorbed and converted into raw materials to condense the barrier. The body will only be affected by physical attacks.

The more Lin Yuan looked at the Spirit World Barrier Turtle, the more satisfied he was. It was truly a creature from a blessed land. No wonder it was so powerful!

The exclusive skills and abilities Ten Thousand Techniques Body and Energy Discharge allowed the Spirit World Barrier Turtle to block energy attacks above the Holy Spirit level.

As for whether it could return the energy attack to the opponent through Energy Discharge, it was related to the energy capacity of the Spirit World Barrier Turtle's turtle shell. With the current strength of the Spirit World Barrier Turtle's shell, it should be more than enough to withstand the energy attacks of a Diamond fey.

Lin Yuan mainly wanted the Spirit World Barrier Turtle to become his fey because of its Normal ability, Condensation Barrier.

The barrier formed by the Spirit World Barrier Turtle absorbing energy and spirit qi could be combined to form a barrier. This kind of barrier would block the interaction of internal and external energy. Not only that, but it could also block the detection of the outside world.

As long as the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was nurtured, when exploring the abyssal world, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle could build a barrier that could effectively prevent the corrosion of the energy of the abyssal world, allowing all lifeforms to build foundations in the barrier to reproduce.

When the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was only Bronze grade, Lin Yuan had already seen its potential.

If Lin Yuan could tell, so could Xie Lin.

Meanwhile, Xie Lin was still introducing the Spirit World Barrier Turtle to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan scoffed and said, "City Lord Xie, despite all your talk, you didn't choose the turtle. Is it because you want to nurture it to generate a large amount of pure spirit qi every day?

"From the looks of it, City Lord Xie, you've tried to nurture it before. I know you plan to raise the price. While I have plenty of Creator resources, I'm not naive enough to give them away casually.

"Brother Ling is the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace, which collects all kinds of spiritual ingredients. Let Brother Ling help appraise these ingredients to ensure fairness. I trust you won't distrust Brother Ling."

Lin Yuan was correct—Xie Lin did plan to raise the price.

These resources were personally saved by Xie Lin. The more Creator resources he could exchange for them, the more advantageous it would be for him. Xie Lin was counting on these resources to curry favor with the Snake Lords.

Xie Lin noticed that Ling Muzhuo had a very close relationship with Lin Yuan, much closer than his own.

Under such circumstances, it was clear who Ling Muzhuo would favor when estimating the price.

However, Xie Lin couldn't reject this proposal. He feared that if he did, Lin Yuan would refuse to deal with him.

Moreover, rejecting the suggestion would imply a lack of trust in Ling Muzhuo, the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace. Xie Lin did not want to become enemies with Ling Muzhuo at this time.

After some thought, Xie Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I naturally trust Palace Master Ling. Please help settle the price of these resources fairly so that neither Young Master Lin nor I suffer a loss!"

Hearing this, Ling Muzhuo looked at Xie Lin with a faint smile. In such a deal, if one side suffered a loss, the other side would gain an advantage.

Xie Lin was reminding him to be fair when calculating the price. If Ling Muzhuo didn't have such a good relationship with Lin Yuan, he wouldn't have helped in evaluating the resources.

This kind of task could be laborious and unrewarding. Trying to please one side could offend the other.

Confirming that Xie Lin was likely from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, Ling Muzhuo was filled with resentment, recalling Fortune Treasure Palace's losses in South Face City over the years.

In the process of calculating the price, he showed no mercy and essentially lowered the prices of these spiritual ingredients to the minimum.

It reached a point where Xie Lin felt the pinch but couldn't refuse the deal.

Ling Muzhuo was somewhat surprised by the high quality of Xie Lin's stock.

If Xie Lin had asked Fortune Treasure Palace to prepare the materials for the trade, it would have required mobilizing resources from many branches.

These resources were clearly beyond what a City Lord of a large city should possess.

When Xie Lin presented these resources, he must have already decided to relinquish his City Lord status.

"City Lord Xie, you've gained a lot during this period in South Face City. You actually gathered so many resources! Most of the resources here are not produced in South Face City. I think you must have spent a lot of effort to collect these resources, right? No matter how precious these spiritual ingredients are, they can't compare to Creator resources.

"The price I stated is not low. City Lord Xie, the resources you took out can't be exchanged for so many spirit qi crystals if you traded with anyone else. You have to know that the spirit qi crystals that Young Master Lin took out are not mere Grade 4 Creator resources—they have also reached pinnacle Grade 4!"

Ling Muzhuo's words made Xie Lin's teeth itch.

Xie Lin knew how Lin Yuan had offered the spirit qi crystals at the trade fair.

If he completed the transaction of the materials in his hands at the trade fair, the amount of spirit qi crystals he would exchange would be at least 10% more than now.

He needed these spirit qi crystals and could only suffer in silence.

Xie Lin looked at Ling Muzhuo viciously. He had already made up his mind to make Ling Muzhuo pay the price when the Snake Lords came.

As for the method, it was very simple. As long as he revealed that Lin Yuan had a large number of spirit qi crystals, it would be fine.

Even though he hated Ling Muzhuo and Lin Yuan to death, Xie Lin's superficial skills were still on point. Lin Yuan and Ling Muzhuo were invited to stay in the residence.

However, Lin Yuan was no longer in the mood to feign civility with Xie Lin. His mind was focused on nurturing the Spirit World Barrier Turtle.

The feys produced by mid grade blessed lands were extremely precious. Since Xie Lin was willing to take these things out, it seemed that the Spirit World Barrier Turtle definitely needed a lot of spirit qi!

Lin Yuan was prepared to see how much this little fellow could eat.

Lin Yuan originally wanted to return to the place where he had just arrived in South Face City. But there were too many factions that wanted to trade resources with him.

Since Zhao Chen was not there, Lin Yuan decided to stay in Fortune Treasure Palace for peace and quiet.

The trade fair was hosted by Zhao Chen, so Lin Yuan simply handed over all the alliance members to Zhao Chen to manage.

Lin Yuan could tell that the Zhao family had many thoughts about him. Zhao Chen had been stopping the Zhao family from meeting him.

Zhao Chen also had his own plans for doing so.

Lin Yuan already had the thought of befriending Zhao Chen. As for whether he could grasp it in the end, it would depend on Zhao Chen himself.

…

Lin Yuan took out 1,000,000 spirit qi crystals to see how far the Spirit World Barrier Turtle could go after absorbing them.

Previously, all the feys that Morbius had spirit-locked were basically stuck at Bronze X/Legend because this could maximize their potential.

The reason Lin Yuan was prepared to nurture the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was that he had comprehended a Willpower Rune that was extremely compatible with the Spirit World Barrier Turtle after contracting the Enlightenment Cicada.

As long as he combined this Willpower Rune with the Spirit World Barrier Turtle, regardless of grade or quality, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle would directly improve.

Lin Yuan first used Spirit Lock on the Spirit World Barrier Turtle. The moment he used Spirit Lock on it, he felt the hunger coming from the Spirit World Barrier Turtle.

The Spirit World Barrier Turtle was like an evil spirit that had starved for countless years as it pitifully begged Lin Yuan for food.

Lin Yuan could not help but feel speechless. It turned out that the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was not such a delicate fey.

At present, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle's size was limited by energy.

Creatures like the Spirit World Barrier Turtle, which originated from mid grade blessed lands, had long lifespans. Since Xie Lin obtained the Spirit World Barrier Turtle, tens of thousands of years had passed.

Apart from investing resources in the Spirit World Barrier Turtle at the beginning, Xie Lin had not spent any more effort on the Spirit World Barrier Turtle.

After starving for tens of thousands of years, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was only the size of a washbasin. If it continued to starve without spirit qi to absorb, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle would most likely enter a dormant state.

Before letting the Spirit World Barrier Turtle absorb the spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan planned to let it have a good meal and wait for its body to recover before transforming into Fantasy Breed. Otherwise, without enough energy to replenish itself, even if it transformed into Fantasy Breed, it would affect the Spirit World Barrier Turtle's potential.

Fortunately, a fey like the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was very special. As long as there was sufficient pure spirit qi to absorb, its condition would recover very quickly.

…

Millions of spirit qi crystals were already a lot for any living being.

However, after these millions of spirit qi crystals were absorbed by the Spirit World Barrier Turtle, it was still not full. From time to time, it would convey its hunger to Lin Yuan, wanting to ask for more spirit qi. Even Lin Yuan could not help but be surprised by its appetite.

No wonder Xie Lin had given up on the Spirit World Barrier Turtle. If he had not established the faith country and no longer lacked spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan might have given up on nurturing the Spirit World Barrier Turtle as well.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan still had some spirit qi crystals to feed it.

…

After consuming a total of 5.6 million spirit qi crystals, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle returned to its healthiest state.

At that moment, the size of the Spirit World Barrier Turtle was equivalent to a small mountain, able to carry at least 50 people.

The Spirit World Barrier Turtle possessed extraordinary intelligence. Once its body fully recovered, it began urging Lin Yuan to evolve it into a Fantasy Breed.

Due to Spirit Lock, the relationship between the Spirit World Barrier Turtle and Lin Yuan had become extremely close.

The Spirit World Barrier Turtle understood why it had been despised by Xie Lin: it consumed too much. This made the turtle hesitant to ask Lin Yuan for more spirit qi, fearing his dissatisfaction. Otherwise, it would have tried to evolve into a Fantasy Breed while in its best state.

Sensing the turtle's emotions, Lin Yuan whispered, "Since I've decided to nurture you, I'll provide you with the best resources in the future. If you have any needs, just ask. Don't deprive yourself of resources.

"You've just recovered, and the spirit qi in your body hasn't reached its limit. Instead of rushing to advance, why not accumulate more experience?"

Lin Yuan then took out a large number of spirit qi crystals and placed them in front of the turtle, indicating it could absorb them at will.

The Spirit World Barrier Turtle had never felt such love since its birth. Now, it finally felt cared for, letting out a happy roar.

It waved its three-story-tall head in front of Lin Yuan and began chewing on the spirit qi crystals without needing his help. With each bite, nearly 20,000 spirit qi crystals were swallowed.

In the future, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle would definitely not lose to Blackie in terms of spirit qi crystal consumption.

Lin Yuan looked at the remaining spirit qi crystals and decided that, apart from Zhao Chen and Ling Muzhuo, he would not trade them with any other factions in South Face City.

…

Over the past two days, there had been turmoil in South Face City, with many factions perishing daily.

All the powerful factions were present, but Lin Yuan was the most talked about person in South Face City.

For the past two days, Lin Yuan had been nurturing the Spirit World Barrier Turtle in Fortune Treasure Palace, choosing not to interact with other factions.

As Lin Yuan's representative, Zhao Chen was incredibly busy.

Zhao Chen had never experienced so many powerful factions seeking his favor. Even under pressure from his family, he decided to follow Lin Yuan no matter what.

"Fourth Uncle, Young Master Lin has already said that he won't see anyone. Don't make things difficult for me. It's enough for me to be the only one from the Zhao family to interact with Young Master Lin.

"So what if you interact with Young Master Lin again? I'll mention my father's injuries to Young Master Lin after this operation ends. However, even if Young Master Lin is willing to help, we have to be able to take out the corresponding resources to trade with Young Master Lin.

"Although Father lost the battle in the family, he still has more resources than I do. Get Father to prepare the resources. I'll contact you when there's news from Young Master Lin!"

When Zhao Chen's father heard the news, he immediately looked for Zhao Chen excitedly. However, Zhao Chen's father's attitude toward this matter was far different from his fourth uncle's. Basically, he would contact him every few hours in hopes of getting a chance to interact with Lin Yuan alone.

Zhao Chen felt that Zhao Wei's behavior was a little abnormal, as if he had other motives.
