Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2027
2027 Swallow Same Source
After the Perfect Touch Wisteria evolved to Bronze grade, three options of exclusive skills appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
As Lin Yuan looked through each of them, he saw that the first was called Double Parasite.
[Double Parasite]: When the vines wrap around a target, and the sharp ends pierce the target’s body, two seeds will be planted inside the target. The seeds will germinate after some time and cause damage to the target.
Double Parasite was a strong combat ability but not useful in the practical sense at all.
!!
The Perfect Touch Wisteria had already wrapped its vines around the target and pieced the target with the spikes on its vines. In such a situation, there would be no need to plant two seeds in the target to cause damage to the target.
Furthermore, the damage would only be dealt after some time.
Delayed damage abilities were never favored by spirit qi professionals, regardless of the amount of damage they could produce.
In order to use Double Parasite to plant two seeds in the target, the Perfect Touch Wisteria’s vines had to be strong enough to penetrate the target.
At its core, the Perfect Touch Wisteria was not a combat-type plant-type fey. Thus, Lin Yuan gave up on choosing Double Parasite.
The Perfect Touch Wisteria’s second option of exclusive skill appeared.
This exclusive skill caused Lin Yuan’s expression to shift.
[Double Tool Transformation]: Two forms can be produced during Tool Transformation. When the two forms are used, they will cause twice the drain of spiritual power.
It was evident that Double Tool Transformation was a mutation of Tool Transformation.
It had its flaws as well as its benefits.
Its benefit was that it could produce two different forms. This narrowed the unpredictability of Tool Transformation. With two forms, there would be a wider range of usage for the ability, and they could be switched during battle to adapt to the changing circumstances. It was likely that this would lead to unexpected effects.
However, the flaw was also obvious—ιt caused double the drain of spiritual power.
This drain of spiritual power would affect not only the Perfect Touch Wisteria but Lin Yuan as well.
Due to its ability Forbidden Growth, the Perfect Touch Wisteria’s power could climb endlessly.
The higher the Perfect Touch Wisterias grade, the bigger the drain on Lin Yuan’s spiritual power it would cause when Double Tool Transformation was used.
Regardless of whether it could reach Eternal, Lin Yuan could not sustain Double Tool Transformation for long, even with the Spirit Qi Imprint opened by the time the Perfect Touch Wisteria reached Immortal.
Nonetheless, compared to Double Parasite, Double Tool Transformation was undoubtedly a much better choice.
If the third option of exclusive skill was not promising, Lin Yuan would choose Double Tool Transformation.
The moment Lin Yuan saw the third exclusive skill, he could not help but inhale sharply.
It could be said that the Perfect Touch Wisteria’s third option of exclusive skill was the most wicked exclusive skill he had seen from a plant-type fey.
[Swallow Same Source]: Every vine will have the same grade and quality, but they can be separated to act as individual entities. Every vine can consume something and take control of its attributes. The swallowed entity cannot be spat out, but an even higher level item can replace it. (Once it gains attributes, the vine cannot be separated again.)
Clearly, this exclusive skill had much more potential than Double Parasite and Double Tool Transformation.
One look was all that was needed to see that Swallow Same Source could only unleash its full might when the Perfect Touch Wisteria was supplied with a large number of resources.
If the Perfect Touch Wisteria chose Swallow Same Source, the Perfect Touch Wisteria could use one of its vines to consume Begin Lady’s bloodline and gain the Sacred Wood bloodline.
Begin Lady was currently an intermediate faerie and could still evolve into a higher faerie.
If he ever came across the bloodline of a more elite faerie, Begin Lady’s bloodline could also be swapped out, and the Perfect Touch Wisteria could be strengthened further.
At first, the Perfect Touch Wisteria only had four vines. But after it evolved to Bronze grade, it grew another four vines.
The only drawback to choosing Swallow Same Source would be that the number of vines would be stuck at eight forever.
However, eight vines were already enough.
Currently, Scholars, Fey Observers, and Spiritual Ingredient Analysts had yet to even come up with a clear ranking of fey exclusive skills.
But as Lin Yuan continued to evolve feys, he became increasingly familiar with fey exclusive skills.
If it was up to him to decide if an exclusive skill was good or bad, he would rank them into the gray, green, blue, purple, orange, and red categories.
For example, the Jasmine Lily’s Severed Limbs Growth skill would belong to the purple category.
The Spirit Qi Imprint and Vitality Imprint were on a similar level to Severed Limbs Growth.
In the purple category, the abilities were strong strategic-class and could overturn battles.
Little Iron Block’s Annihilation Gaze skill was extremely useful in a battle, but in terms of strategic significance, it would only rank in the green category.
It was only when it was paired with its ability Sacrifice, which improved the quality of its body, that it managed to move up into the blue category.
If there was a pure healing-type spirit qi professional and support-type spirit qi professional in the team, Little Iron Block’s abilities would then be able to reach the purple category.
Double Parasite would only belong to the gray category, and Double Tool Transformation would belong to the green category.
But, placing Swallow Same Source in the orange category would not be an overestimation.
As for the red category, Lin Yuan had it especially reserved for Morbius.
Only when a fey’s exclusive skill reached the level that the Spirit Lock spatial zone did would Lin Yuan consider it part of the red category.
When a regular spirit qi professional encountered the exclusive skill Swallow Same Source, he would not be able to unleash its full capabilities because they lacked sufficient high-quality resources for the Perfect Touch Wisteria to absorb.
However, Lin Yuan was overflowing with treasures.
He immediately picked Swallow Same Source as the Perfect Touch Wisteria’s exclusive skill.
Next, after pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan took out a piece of ferromanganese and fed it to the Perfect Touch Wisteria.
Bronze to Diamond metal spiritual ingredients could be bought on the market. After that came Suzerain and Sovereign metal spiritual ingredients.
There was also High Sovereign after Sovereign.
High Sovereign metal spiritual ingredients were currently just a concept, and none had actually been discovered.
However, the Moon Empress possessed Sovereign metal spiritual ingredients and stored them in the Radiant Moon Palace’s treasure vault.
He chose to have the Perfect Touch Wisteria absorb a metal spiritual ingredient because metal spiritual ingredients had high limits, and the different types of metals could be swapped out almost constantly.
Lin Yuan had already tested this through the Source Sand.
