Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 154: Our Daughter Has Grown Up

Lin Yuan and Chu Ci were already walking on the Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy’s campus and about to leave the academy. Since classes had ended, the campus was filled with laughter and noises.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly heard the two classmates beside them say, “What’s the loneliest thing you’ve ever heard?”

Another classmate opened his mouth without even thinking about it and answered, “Being the only one who hasn’t handed in your homework.”

Then, he asked, “Do you know what extreme sports are?”

The student that had asked previously was obviously an expert and replied instantly, “While the teacher is collecting our homework, you copy the other classmates’ homework to make up for your own.”

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard that. These two students were really witty. Fortunately, he never had to worry about Chu Ci’s studies.

Chu Ci, who was walking beside Lin Yuan, had never stopped smiling and was apparently in an excellent mood.

Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci and said, “You’re really something! You’ve become a C-rank spirit qi professional, but why didn’t you tell me in the call? Had Teacher Bao not told me, how long were you going to hide it from me?”

Chu Ci stuck out her tongue before she then wrinkled her nose and replied, “I was going to tell you personally when you would visit me, but Teacher Bao leaked it out instead!”

Besides giving herself a peace of mind regarding her own progress, the happiest thing was probably to share with Lin Yuan so that her closest kin could share in the joy of her own improvement.

Lin Yuan was actually surprised. Although he knew that Chu Ci had exceptional talents, he did not expect her to become a C-rank spirit qi professional from a D-rank in such a short time of cultivation.

He knew that he was different. Upgrading a spirit qi professional’s rank relied on enhancing feys, so there was no need to compare himself with Chu Ci.

However, the Radiance Hundred Sequence’s top talents, like Sequence #3 Overflowing Sea, Long Tao, were currently only pinnacle B-rank spirit qi professionals. It was very difficult for them to reach A-rank.

Chu Ci was only 15 years old. When Long Tao was at that age, he might not have been able to break through to C-rank.

Just then, Chu Ci said softly, “Lin Yuan, I seem to have comprehended a Willpower Rune after breaking through to a C-rank spirit qi professional.”

After saying that, Chu Ci circulated her spiritual energy. A Willpower Rune with a dark metallic luster flew out of her spiritual mind and circled her.

Lin Yuan’s surprise had yet to be dissipated, and he did not expect Chu Ci to bring him another surprise again.

Since Chu Ci had already comprehended a Willpower Rune at the age of 15 meant that she could now possess a Fantasy Breed fey.

Although there was no absolute boundary between the grade of a spirit qi professional and their contracted fey, they were closely related.

For example, D-rank spirit qi professionals could only command Bronze feys, C-rank spirit qi professionals could only command Gold feys, B-rank spirit qi professionals could command Platinum feys, while A-rank spirit qi professionals could command Diamond feys.

For feys to reach Suzerain, their contractors needed to reach S-rank.

If the spirit qi professionals could not reach the standard and raised their feys’ grade, they might likely cause a very embarrassing situation.

For example, their spiritual energy would not be able to withstand the load and collapse.

As spirit qi professionals raised their ranks, their spiritual energy and the spirit qi in their bodies would also increase. If they had a few contracted feys, their spiritual energy would barely be able to reach the standard without collapse.

Nonetheless, their bodies’ spiritual power certainly could not keep up with the consumption needed for the feys to release their skills. Hence, it had always been a big no-no for spirit qi professionals whose ranks were not up to standard to rashly find a Creation Master to raise the grades of their feys.

Chu Ci was currently a C-rank spirit qi professional and could handle Gold feys. Her Willpower Rune contained a metallic, oppressive feeling, and it was evidently suitable for the Sharp Iron Horn Bull.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly heard a pleasant yet strange voice. “Lin Yuan, your sister really has amazing talents! She will have a boundless future when she grows over time!”

Even if the Mother of Bloodbath was experienced and knowledgeable, it could not help but sigh at Chu Ci’s talent.

After seeing that Chu Ci possessed a Willpower Rune, Lin Yuan said seriously to her, “Call Teacher Bao later and ask for ten days’ leave.”

Lin Yuan said nothing, but Chu Ci asked nothing either. She just called Teacher Bao.

Upon hearing that Chu Ci was taking a leave of absence, he thought that something had happened to her hand, so he just approved of her leave without hesitation.

Lin Yuan’s envisioned plan of forging his sister into an iron bucket was just at the planning stage. But due to her talents, he had to implement this plan now.

Chu Ci was done with the phone call, so Lin Yuan reached out to touch her head before saying, “Chu Ci, you can now be called a powerful spirit qi professional.”

When Chu Ci had a Fantasy Breed fey, she could indeed afford to be called powerful.

Apart from needing a Willpower Rune, it was hard to evolve Bronze Fantasy Breed feys to Legend. Most Creation Masters could not do so.

Feys also had talents. Those with exceptional talent could also reach a high quality without the Creation Masters’ help. However, such feys were always rare.

Lin Yuan did not know what rank of Creation Masters could evolve a Bronze fey into Legend.

An ordinary Class 4 Creation Master clearly could not do so, and Lin Yuan did not know if pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters could succeed with that.

However, it was not a problem for him to raise the feys into Legend at Bronze.

As a C-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan only needed five days to enhance the feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and evolve them from Bronze to Legend.

In the past, it was indeed difficult for Chu Ci to have a Fantasy Breed at Bronze, as she needed to have a Willpower Rune. However, she had one now.

Lin Yuan had asked Chu Ci to take ten days off because he wanted to improve her capabilities.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan’s serious expression, as if he was thinking about something, Chu Ci said softly to him, “Lin Yuan, I didn’t tell anyone that I comprehend a Willpower Rune.”

Lin Yuan laughed. The saying, “Poor children matured early.”, was indeed right.

Lin Yuan, who had lived two lifetimes, naturally knew the principle of “An outstanding tree would definitely be blown down by the wind.”

Chu Ci, who had grown up in a tough environment, also understood this fact.

Lin Yuan was very pleased with Chu Ci’s cautiousness. At the same time, he looked firmly at her and said, “It’s good to hide your abilities, but you don’t have to do that now. You can show your talents to the fullest.”

The moment he learned that Chu Ci had comprehended a Willpower Rune, he had decided that he would let his Master, the Moon Empress, know about Chu Ci’s talent.

Lin Yuan could afford all of Chu Ci’s future feys and resources.

However, what he needed was to make sure that Chu Ci, who had such extraordinary potential, could show her talents in front of everyone, and nobody would do anything to her because they were jealous.

Although Lin Yuan had always wanted to explore the world single-handedly, he knew that from the moment he had gone through the ceremonial rites to have the Moon Empress as his Master, the Moon Empress had become his teacher and his kin with no blood relations.

The Moon Empress, one of the Class 5 Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation, would always support him.

With her around, Chu Ci’s safety would not be a problem.

As Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci, he could not help but feel proud. His heart was filled with pride!

My younger sister actually has exceptional talents, so why should she hide? She should be shining among the crowd!

At the same time, Lin Yuan’s gaze also became increasingly determined. Given his current improvement speed, in just two years, he would be able to protect Chu Ci.

As Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci, he suddenly had a feeling as if his daughter had grown up.
