Chapter 537: You Eat More Than a Black Back Mountain Boar

Liu Jie was already 25 years old, at a suitable age to contract a sacred source lifeform.

On the other hand, it was anyone's guess how much more time the Mother of Bloodbath needed before it reached Creation Breed.

Lin Yuan did not know how much the Mother of Bloodbath could improve by consuming a stick of the Blood Brew Grapevine's Blood Brew Grapes.

Even if he ordered Red Thorn to maximize its efforts in allowing the Mouth of Relinquish to absorb flesh energy and produce Eyes of Relinquish and nurtured Blood Brew Grapevines to quickly grow Blood Brew Grapes, he had encountered a true glutton.

Compared to the unpredictable state of the Mother of Bloodbath, it was a better choice to allow Liu Jie to contract the sacred source lifeform.

As for Zhou Luo, who had gone through h.e.l.l and back with him in the dimensional rift, Lin Yuan did not plan on giving him the sacred source lifeform.

Lin Yuan no longer saw Zhou Luo as merely one of his white-clothed followers from Sky City.

He was now one of Lin Yuan's true confidants.

Lin Yuan nurtured them so he could exchange Bronze spiritual resources in return for their loyalty.

It would be completely up to the white-clothed followers if they wanted to nurture the Bronze spiritual resources.

However, Lin Yuan wanted to invest a large amount of his own resources into Zhou Luo. He intended on helping Zhou Luo's Lava Dragon Lizard and his newly contracted Bronze/Epic Dark Snake Dragon Lizard to evolve swiftly.

Lin Yuan planned on raising the Bronze/Epic Dark Snake Dragon Lizard's quality to Legend before Zhou Luo evolved it to Silver.

Being a member of the white-clothed followers, Zhou Luo had taken the allegiance oath and sworn his loyalty to Lin Yuan. He was a member of Sky City.

Ever since Zhou Luo had volunteered to take on a fight that could have cost him his life, Lin Yuan had validated Zhou Luo.

During this trip back from Indigo Azure City, they had experienced many trials and acc.u.mulated numerous advantages.

Even if the advantages from the Indigo Azure Sea Market were not counted, just contracting the sacred source lifeform was enough for Lin Yuan to see this experience as worthwhile.

It was almost New Year's, after which came the S Tournament season.

The S Tournament season came before the S Tournament finals.

There would also be a duel between the Radiance Hundred Sequence. It was sure to be a highlight.

During the Radiance Hundred Sequence duel, Lin Yuan planned to focus on training his faction in the Royal Capital.

Ever since Lin Yuan had obtained his dedicated territory on Star Web, he had not executed those three rights and announced his private faction's management to the rest of the people on Star Web who also owned factions with dedicated territories.

Lin Yuan planned on using the new season to properly manage his private faction and spread its impressive reputation.

If Lin Yuan wanted to stand toe to toe with the veterans, he needed to act like a lovable businessman in order to attract people with the message: I have the best goods, come to me.

After the meal, Lin Yuan and Chu Ci started to learn from their individual Masters.

When Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress conducted the question-and-answer session, he took the opportunity to throw out all the questions he had ama.s.sed.

Naturally, the biggest problem Lin Yuan threw out was about sacred source lifeforms.

Although he already possessed a sacred source lifeform, Lin Yuan was still completely ignorant about their characteristics.

From the Moon Empress's answers, Lin Yuan found out that the formation of a contract with sacred source lifeforms was differentiated between blood contracts and marrow contracts.

Lin Yuan remembered the injuries he had sustained while grabbing the sacred source lifeforms, and he knew that he had to have formed marrow contracts with the two sacred source lifeforms.

As he listened to the Moon Empress explain the process of marrow contracts, fear crept into Lin Yuan.

At the same time, he was also curious to know exactly what Morbius was.

How had Morbius protected his soul from shattering in such a perilous situation?

As the question-and-answer session went on, Lin Yuan garnered a basic understanding of sacred source lifeforms.

The Moon Empress realized that a large portion of Lin Yuan's questions were about the origins of lifeforms.

From this, the Moon Empress' could sense the exponential rate at which Lin Yuan was improving, and she felt slightly stunned as she answered his questions.

It had barely been half a year since he became her disciple.

But, Lin Yuan's growth during the past six months was the equivalent of other geniuses' five years of hard work.

The Moon Empress was also certain that Lin Yuan was hiding some secret techniques that he did not usually employ.

At least, his ident.i.ty as Black, who was a healing-type spirit qi professional, was the real deal.

Otherwise, such concentrated vitality would not have flowed out of his body when he was comatose after being spit out by the dimensional rift.

Lin Yuan had not reached rank and could not circulate the spiritual power in his body to form a spirit qi vortex.

Without the protection of the spiritual power vortex, what kind of healing abilities did Lin Yuan have which allowed him to remove the sacred source lifeform from the evolving dimensional rift?

In order to remove the sacred source lifeform from the dimensional fluctuations in the dimensional hub, one could only rely on the innate strength in their body.

If one utilized a fey to go against the overwhelming power, the energy in the attacks would be transported to the other world through the dimensional hub.

The Moon Empress was not against Lin Yuan hiding his abilities. In fact, she endorsed it.

Thoughts of approval surfaced in her mind.

He really is my disciple. Both of us prefer to hide our power.

The question-and-answer session lasted the entire afternoon.

After the question-and-answer session, Mystic Moon, who was notorious for not having a disciple, prepared a scrumptious feast for dinner.

After dinner, the sun started to disappear below the horizon.

The burnt orange glow of the sunset was exceptionally warm. As Lin Yuan and Chu Ci strolled along Leaning Moon Mountain, their shadows slowly grew longer.

Lin Yuan handed Chu Ci some dried fruit he had picked from Leaning Moon Mountain.

The plants that grew on Leaning Moon Mountain were plentiful, and the feys that lived there would never be able to finish all the ripe fruits that fell.

Lin Yuan peeled the pine nut in his palm and gave it to Chu Ci.

“This fresh nut has not been roasted. It might lack some fragrance, but the freshness is more evident than ever. Are you really okay with eating so many fruits and nuts after such a large dinner?” asked Lin Yuan.

Chu Ci looked at the palm-sized pine nut. As she skipped along, she giggled and said, “Please, these fruits and nuts don't take up any room in my stomach, Lin Yuan.”

Despite her words, Chu Ci patted her satisfied belly as she chewed on the pine nut.

It was spring all year round at Leaning Moon Mountain.

The young girl walked in step with the young man. They were surrounded by lush greenery, and every expression that lit up their faces was flooded with the beautiful sentiment of sibling love.

The young girl skipped along the path and handed Lin Yuan the half-eaten pine nut.

“I can't eat anymore, big brother,” said Chu Ci.

The young man turned to look at the young girl. He reached out his hand and swiped at the corner of Chu Ci's lips with mock frustration, wiping off the pine nut sc.r.a.ps lodged there.

Lin Yuan glanced at the half-eaten pine nut in his hand and said with a half-vexed and half-affectionate voice, “It's about time you were full. You eat more than a Black Back Mountain Bear.”
