Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2438

2438 Cave Flames Pig and Burning Mud Hedgehog
Although she might not make it into the Radiance Hundred Sequence at 16 years old, if her luck was not too bad, she might be able to once she became a B-rank spirit qi professional and gained a Diamond/Fantasy fey.

[Deep Mountain Elder Lin]: You can do it! I believe that you’ll be able to become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence! Suppose your goal is to become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. In that case, my suggestion is for you to contract a fey with endurance abilities to increase your sustainability during battle. I will send the Demon-Faced Spike Spider to you through Ostrich Logistics within the next two days. I trust that your address has not changed, right?

Yun Xi was taken aback when she saw this. She had not expected the Demon-Faced Spike Spider to be nurtured to be produced so quickly!

But she found this reasonable when she remembered that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress’ disciple.

[Stream in the Cloud]: The address I gave you in the past was my home address. I am in school now, so I will send you my school’s address!

When he received the address from Yun Xi, Lin Yuan saved it on Star Web.

The Needle-Haired Spider could be found on Star Web. There were many spirit qi professionals who were affiliated with spider-species feys who chose to contract it for its impressive combat power. This was because it was easy to find and thus was cheap, but also because it did not require a lot of resources to be nurtured.

A plant-type called the Demon-Faced Flower was needed to evolve the Needle-Haired Spider into the Demon-Faced Spike Spider.

This evolution had a high chance of success. Hence, Lin Yuan only bought three of the Needle-Haired Spiders in preparation.

Although the Needle-Faced Flower was rare, it was almost never used by Creation Masters because of the psychotoxin it contained.

Thus, many adventure groups would not pick them after encountering them in the wild.

It was easy to counter poison. But once afflicted with psychotoxin, the spirit qi professional’s career would be affected.

Lin Yuan could not find a single Demon-Faced Flower after scouring Star Web.

But just because the Demon-Faced Flower could not be found on Star Web did not mean that it could not be found in the Radiant Moon Palace’s storage as well. All he needed to do was take some of the Demon-Faced Flower’s pollen from the Radiant Moon Palace’s storage.

Now that he had settled Yun Xi’s matter, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the fire-type feys.

Lin Yuan now possessed far more feys than regular people. Because of Morbius’ spirit locking and the source-type items that Lin Yuan had contracted, his quantity of feys had long exceeded ten.

The high number of feys and source-type items allowed Lin Yuan to perfect both his combat and defense systems. Now, he was practically free of any shortcomings.

If a shortcoming had to be picked, it would be that he lacked a powerful long-distance individual combat strategy.

Lin Yuan’s only means of individual long-distance combat now was through Chimey.
Many fire-type feys were skilled at combat, so Lin Yuan did not take long to discover many powerful fire-type feys.

But there were times when quantity was not a benefit as it was easy to become overwhelmed. This was what was happening to Lin Yuan now.

Nonetheless, he did not give up.

Lin Yuan was very serious and responsible when picking a fey for Yun Xi to contract, much less when it came to his own fey.

After making his rounds, Lin Yuan excluded all the feys that did not possess special abilities. Eventually, he was only left with four fire-type feys.

The first was called the Cave Flames Pig.

It had a giant size and not only possessed fire-type abilities but spatial-type abilities as well.

The Cave Flames Pig had a fire-type that made up 80% of its overall type, which, according to the assessment of Scholars and Fey Observers, fell short of qualifying it as a dual-type fey since it didn’t exceed the required 70%.

Notably, the Cave Flames Pig’s body bore significant indentations that would eventually be filled with lava. These indentations served another remarkable purpose.

Contractors had the ability to fill these indentations with magma, and during battles, the stored magma could be released as a form of equipment.

As the power of the Cave Flames Pig reached Diamond grade, each indentation would increase by at least 20 square meters, with the potential to reach 100 to 200 square meters.

While some factions opted for feys capable of carrying heavy loads instead of utilizing Ostrich Logistics, the Cave Flames Pig remained one of the most popular choices.

However, Lin Yuan possessed a ring made from the shell of the Spatial Mother Shellfish, a valuable instrument crafted from the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad, and the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Since acquiring Klein Hub, Lin Yuan no longer needed to meticulously plan the usage of space within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, as the dimensional world beyond Klein Hub provided the optimal storage capacity.

When it came to carrying burdens, the Cave Flames Pig paled in comparison to the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle.

Given Lin Yuan’s commitment to utilizing all aspects of a contracted fey’s abilities, he decided to forego the Cave Flames Pig.

The second fire-type fey was called the Burning Mud Hedgehog.

The Burning Mud Hedgehog possessed both fire and earth elemental attributes, enabling it to transform earth and rocks into flowing burning mud with remarkable speed.

There existed a significant disparity between burning mud and lava. Burning mud exhibited greater viscosity and stronger adhesive properties compared to lava.

When the Burning Mud Hedgehog concealed itself within the burning mud and the mud adhered to its spines, even a small needle could transform into a massive projectile covered in burning mud.

The strength of the Burning Mud Hedgehog depended largely on the purity of the elemental ingredients and potions it was exposed to. If the purity was low, the resulting projectiles would only be torch-sized, lacking power and range.

However, when high-purity fire and earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were utilized, each projectile would possess the destructive force of a volcanic eruption.

There was a possibility that the Burning Mud Hedgehog could synergize with the Source Sand, but its limited number of needles posed a challenge.

Regenerating the needles was a slow process for the Burning Mud Hedgehog, even with the assistance of a healing-type fey to restore its vitality during battles. A second wave of needles would not be feasible.

The ejection of needles was a natural bodily function for the Burning Mud Hedgehog and did not harm it.

After releasing its initial wave of needles, the Burning Mud Hedgehog would become temporarily ineffective.

After careful consideration, Lin Yuan decided to abandon the idea of obtaining the Burning Mud Hedgehog.

While both the Cave Flames Pig and Burning Mud Hedgehog were ordinary feys with great potential, the other two options were extraordinary and beyond the scope of Genius’ knowledge base.

These fire-type feys were likely the result of special mutations.
