Chapter 162: Heart of Insect Swarm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan sat on the Divine Travel Black Swallow’s back and endured the discomfort on his butt. He could not help but have the idea of nurturing an avian transportation fey.

Given his spiritual energy, although he could still contract with a Normal/Normal fey that would not use much of his spiritual energy, he clearly would not leave his contracted fey spot for an avian transportation fey.

Lin Yuan was a Creation Master. If he nurtured an avian fey from a young age, even if he did not form a contract with it or could not command it to fight well, there would be no problem using it for transportation.

Before leaving Redbud City, he entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone once again. He found that in the past few months, the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus within had produced young new leaves.

Although the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia, which he cared most about, still looked withered, he was surprised to find that it had extended its roots and grown on the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’s trunk. This clearly meant that the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia was starting to recover.

If he could evolve the Gold Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia into Platinum after it was healed, then it could produce one to three fruits. Lin Yuan could also grow his spiritual energy by eating those fruits.

As he looked at the mountains and white clouds while on the Divine Travel Black Swallow’s back, even though he felt his heart and mind open up after looking at them for so long, he did not feel that the mountains and white clouds were hard to come by.

Lin Yuan had nothing to do, so he took the Insect Queen, which had been recovering from its damaged roots, out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

This journey would take a few days. Lin Yuan thought that he might as well completely heal its damaged roots before he met Liu Jie.

Actually, he could heal it all thanks to the fact that Liu Jie’s contracted source-type lifeform was the Insect Queen.

If it were other feys or source-type lifeforms at Platinum, Lin Yuan could not heal them.

The Insect Queen was a kind of special source-type lifeform. It needed a huge amount of spiritual energy based on its contract alone, and the contractor could not form a contract with other source-type lifeforms or feys. This was why Liu Jie only had one contracted fey, the source-type Insect Queen.

Once its roots were damaged, then Liu Jie did not have any other feys to use.

If other spirit qi professionals had feys with damaged roots and could not be healed, they could nurture other feys. Although a fey would greatly affect one’s talent if they could not use it, the contractor would not end up in a down-and-out state.

On the other hand, it also showed the Insect Queen’s power.

Liu Jie had long comprehended a Willpower Rune, but his Insect Queen was stuck at Epic, unable to upgrade to Legend. Therefore, even with the Willpower Rune, Liu Jie still could not evolve it into a Fantasy Breed.

Nonetheless, he was still ranked Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, despite having the Insect Queen as his only fey.

Before the Insect Queen’s roots got damaged, Liu Jie had spent a lot of resources visiting Creation Masters everywhere to improve its quality. However, no Creation Masters could upgrade his fey from Epic to Legend. This was because all spirit fluids concocted with spiritual ingredients were not as helpful as the pure spirit qi for the Insect Queen.

The Insect Queen was a kind of lifeform that required extremely high pure spirit qi. In an extremely pure spirit qi environment, even if it was on the verge of death, it could absorb the highly pure spirit qi and activate the powerful self-repair function in its body to restore its damaged roots or even raise its quality.

Without pure spirit qi, no matter how powerful the spirit fluids concocted by Creation Masters were, it could not do so. This was also why after Liu Jie had gotten seriously injured when he guarded the Cold Frost City alone and held off the dimensional lifeforms for half an hour, the Bamboo Monarch, one of the Class 5 Creation Masters, had helped him. However, he still could not heal the Insect Queen’s damaged roots.

That was because the Bamboo Monarch had used all sorts of spiritual ingredients to produce spirit qi. Although there were various medicinal properties that could restore the damaged roots, they were not very useful for the Insect Queen. The best recovery medicine for the Insect Queen was pure spirit qi.

Despite the pure spirit qi in the spirit fluid that the Bamboo Monarch had prepared, it was not pure enough for the Insect Queen to activate its body’s self-repair function.

But it was different when Lin Yuan used his spiritual power to channel spirit qi into the Insect Queen’s body. He did not channel pure spirit qi. Instead, he purified the spirit qi in the world into pure spirit qi through his body before injecting it into the fey’s body.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yuan was a porter of spirit qi. He could make the spirit qi very pure while moving it.

At that moment, a purple flesh cocoon appeared in Lin Yuan’s hand. He channeled the spiritual power in his body and injected a huge amount of pure spirit qi into the Insect Queen’s body with his hands.

This purple flesh cocoon was thumping like a heart, absorbing the pure spirit qi from Lin Yuan like a bottomless pit, with an unusual joyfulness.

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise after two days! He found that the Insect Queen had healed its damaged roots and evolved from Epic to Legend.

In other words, if Liu Jie fused his Willpower Rune with it, the Insect Queen would immediately become a Fantasy Breed. At that time, even if Liu Jie had completely wasted these two years, it was not a loss compared to the Insect Queen evolving into a Fantasy Breed.

It could even be said that after these two years of silence, Liu Jie, who would return with a Platinum Fantasy Breed Insect Queen, could be considered soaring into the sky like a phoenix’s nirvana.

Lin Yuan used Morbius’ True Data to check the Insect Queen.

[Fey Name]: Insect Queen

[Fey Species]: Bombycidae/Queen Insect

[Fey Grade]: Platinum (4/10)

[Fey Type]: Source/Spiritual

[Fey Quality]: Legend

Abilities:

[Bayonet Beetles]: The small beetles have black armor and six legs as sharp as blades.

[Shield Ladybugs]: The large ladybugs have thick armor. Their hard shells can resist physical and energy damage.

[Plasma Caterpillars]: The medium-sized caterpillars have a huge amount of plasma in their bodies that can cause paralysis and high electric shock damage.

[Lightning Gathering Moths]: The small moths can quickly gather lightning. A large number of them can gather a super-strong lightning cannon.

Exclusive Skill:

[Blast Recovery]: The Insect Queen can choose to explode the insects it produces and recover some energy contained in their bodies.

Lin Yuan finally understood why Liu Jie only had a Platinum Insect Queen two years ago.

Liu Jie was ranked as Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence and was known as ‘Heart of Insect Swarm’.
