Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 1247: What Kind of Life is This?

Lin Yuan was not the type to fixate. When he could not come up with an accurate answer with the information he currently possessed, he instinctively pushed the thought out of his mind. After all, the Golden Wings would eventually provide him with an answer as he continued to nurture it.

He guessed that this small creature would soon grow exponentially on its dragon lungs and phoenix blood diet. It was likely that it would grow to the size Lin Yuan witnessed within the golden egg.

However, his head ached when he realized the number of dragon lungs and phoenix blood that he would have to procure. Where would he go to secure the large stock that he needed?

It would not be a one-time procurement as the Golden Wings would only need more as it continued to grow.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to continue to mull over this problem as he needed it in order to enable the Golden Wings to grow.

The Catalog of Mountains and Seas had also mentioned that the Golden Wings was a stickler for high-quality food.

‘The creature that consumes dragon lungs and drinks phoenix blood cannot accept any careless form of sustenance lest its feathers degrade and it loses its wind.’

This line meant that the dragon lungs and phoenix blood all had to be fresh and of a certain quality. Otherwise, its feathers would lose their luster while the storm patterns on its feathers would disappear.

It was evident that the Golden Wings was persnickety and difficult to maintain.

Since the freshness and quality of the dragon lungs and phoenix blood would have an effect on the Golden Wings’ health, Lin Yuan could only assume that the higher quality of food the Golden Wings consumed, the stronger it would grow to become.

However, Lin Yuan did not have a good hold on differentiating the quality of dragon lungs and phoenix blood.

Nonetheless, he was certain that Chimey did not meet the cut.

Firstly, the luan-species was only a subcategory of the main phoenix-species, and there was no guarantee that the Golden Wings would be able to maintain its health using impure phoenix blood.

Moreover, Chimey’s Sound Bird bloodline had devoured its Luan bloodline.

As such, the proportion of Luan bloodline in its body was pitifully little.

Although Chimey was not suitable, Blackie was a pure flood-dragon-species fey, and it would definitely be able to evolve into the main dragon-species fey.

It was likely that Blackie’s lungs were large enough to meet the Golden Wings’ needs, but Lin Yuan would not allow either Blackie or Chimey to sacrifice themselves.

After mulling over the issue for some time, Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up abruptly.

Killing phoenix-species feys was not the only way to obtain phoenix blood.

Dark Clouds Bird Shrine had many main phoenix feys.

A top faction had limited resources, and they would have to hold back in some areas in order to branch into other markets.

As elite as the main phoenix-species fey’s bloodline was, their resource needs would increase at a much steeper rate as compared to other feys.

Given that the Dark Clouds Bird Shrine was trying to branch into another market rapidly, they did not have enough resources for their faction’s main phoenix-species feys.

Lin Yuan felt that he would be able to trade with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine for main phoenix-species fey blood in exchange for resources.

Under normal circumstances, no main phoenix fey would be willing to give up its blood. But if it were offered sufficiently attractive benefits, it would be able to give up its blood as a trade.

Lin Yuan felt that it was unlikely that any problems would arise given his relationship with Li Xuan.

This method would allow Lin Yuan to affirm from the source that the phoenix blood drunk by the Golden Wings was fresh.

Alas, Lin Yuan could not find it in himself to ask Long Tao directly for the dragon lungs.

Coiling Dragon’s Valley had many dragon-species feys, and it would be easy for him to obtain dragon blood or even essence blood from Long Tao as they were reproducible.

However, the lungs were an important organ that dragon-species feys could not regrow.

Once the lungs were removed, the dragon-species fey would certainly die.

Hence, it would be much more difficult to obtain the dragon lungs than it was the phoenix blood.

Nonetheless, the most convenient method of obtaining the dragon lungs would be through Long Tao and ask if he had any ideas.

Even if Long Tao did not have any ideas, Lin Yuan could still trade for some dragon-species feys whose bloodlines could be easily evolved.

Lin Yuan’s army of Hundred Questions Beasts would only grow stronger, and he would be overflowing with Creation Master resources.

He could use his Creation Master resources to nurture high-quality dragon-species feys and extract their lungs for the Golden Wings.

As for the wind-elemental energy and spirit qi that the Golden Wings would require during its growth, Lin Yuan did not need to worry.

There was more than enough spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Although there was no such thing as strange wind in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he had enough wind-elemental pearls for the Golden Wings.

As he looked at the Golden Wings in his hand that would eventually deplete a mountain of resources, Lin Yuan could not help but sigh to himself.

What kind of life is this? I contracted the source-type lifeform Red Thorn, which is difficult to maintain, and the Sacred Source Wielding Queen, which is challenging to upkeep. Now, the Golden Wings will be even harder to nurture. If I didn’t have the Spirit Lock spatial zone, all my feys, source-type lifeforms, and sacred source lifeforms would drain me dry.

The Golden Wings in his hand was now dry.

It pushed itself out of the handkerchief and looked at Lin Yuan warily.

Since Lin Yuan had used his soul, blood, and spiritual energy to form a contract with the Golden Wings, it could grow by learning from the information in his soul.

Just as he was about to greet the Golden Wings, it said, “Lin Yuan, give me a name! From now on, I will do my best to protect you!”

The Golden Wings flapped its wings as though it was showing off its strength.

But before it lifted itself into the air, it noticed Morbius on Lin Yuan’s wrist and immediately used its wings to cover its eyes in terror.

Lin Yuan almost burst into laughter.

The Golden Wings looked just like a small newly-hatched chick.

When it flapped its wings, it looked clumsy and unstable.

Lin Yuan forced himself to hold his laughter back for fear of hurting the Golden Wings’ pride.

He could sense the Golden Wings’ fear through his spiritual energy and hurriedly patted its soft feathers with his finger.

“Don’t be afraid. Morbius will be your friend now too,” said Lin Yuan soothingly.

As for choosing a name for it, Lin Yuan felt that this was his niche skill.
