Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2612
2612 Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom!
Feys that could link their abilities and exclusive skills were stronger and more treasured than other feys.
Many of the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom’s abilities and exclusive skills were linked.
Almost every ability could boost another ability or exclusive skill, allowing the abilities’ effects to be stacked on top of each other.
The Platinum ability, Truth Colony, added another mechanism to the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom’s questioning abilities.
Every time Lin Yuan asked a target a question and the target gave a precise answer, a truth mushroom would be grown.
The truth mushroom was similar to truth serums used to interrogate suspects in Lin Yuan’s previous life, forcing them to give accurate answers. This specifically targeted stubborn targets whose lips remained sealed even if they were on the brink of death.
The Diamond ability, False Colony, and Truth Colony’s abilities were direct opposites.
Every time a target gave a false answer during questioning, a false mushroom would be grown. The false mushroom would allow a target to hide their thoughts and prevent them from giving true answers.
This allowed the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to gain the ability to resist probing. This ability was important to any faction and was definitely considered a foundational ability!
When he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he could feed a false mushroom to every white-clothed follower and feel assured that Sky City’s secrets would not be leaked.
Lin Yuan had rescued the white-clothed followers and nurtured them. They swore their loyalty to him on their Willpower Runes. Even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they would never hurt Sky City’s profits.
Furthermore, the Praying Universe Soul Whale was another protection level for the white-clothed followers. Even if they died, their souls would remain.
Once the Mother of Bloodbath’s sacred source lifeform became stronger, Lin Yuan could use the Jasmine Lily to work with the Ten Thousand Medicine Hot Spring and mold new bodies. This would be especially effective because the Jasmine Lily had reached Myth Breed and gained new abilities and exclusive skills.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was very timid and did not react much to Lin Yuan’s praise. After all, how much intelligence could a little mushroom have?
Lin Yuan ordered the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to activate the World Cleansing and begin its evolution to Myth Breed.
The aura of a Diamond X/Fantasy V fey exploded forth from the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom’s body, and a hole opening immediately followed this in the sky.
Violent gales barreled out from the hole. Inky black clouds formed in the sky, and black hail fell out. Every piece of hail was in the shape of a water chestnut and was very lethal against fire-type feys.
Just like Rememberling, the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was useless when it came to defense and could not handle a single attack from the World Cleansing. A single attack would immediately damage its roots.
This was why functional-type Myth Breed feys were very rare in the wild.
This was a result of natural selection. Unless the functional-type feys could find a strong source of support when they evolved to Myth Breed, it would be very difficult for them to survive the World Cleansing.
If factions obtained more functional-type feys, they would definitely grow stronger.
However, there was no need for the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to be worried about this.
Just like how he protected Rememberling, Eternal Source flicked his finger, and a green and gold screen appeared to block the falling black water chestnut-shaped hail.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom waved its cap and swallowed the World Grace that fell from the hole once the World Cleansing was over.
After absorbing the World Grace, the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom’s body shrunk until it was only half the size of Lin Yuan’s pinky fingernail.
The flower patterns on its cap caused the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to resemble a pillbug that was about to release its stink at any time.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom’s appearance was just as beautiful as it had always been, and the color of its cap was even more brilliant than before.
However, its beauty could only be enjoyed if it was placed under a magnifying glass.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to begin examining the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom, he suddenly felt a special energy gathering around it.
It was very similar to the energy that had gathered around Chimey. This was a voice-spirit-type energy.
Could the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom have transformed after its bloodline evolved to Myth Breed and gained voice-spirit-type abilities and exclusive skills?
When he looked at its True Data, Lin Yuan saw that it was now called the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom.
The Suzerain ability, Interrogation Soul Flames, raised the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom’s interrogation abilities.
[Interrogation Soul Flames]: After confirming that the target has made more than three false statements, the target can be asked a question, and the soul with fungi rooted in it will be sacrificed. The target will have to tell the truth through the voiced spirit form.
Rather than saying that the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was capable at interrogation, it would be more accurate to call it an executioner.
Interrogation Soul Flames could be used in conjunction with Crumbled Parasitic Cycle when Lin Yuan had exhausted all other interrogation methods and the target’s will was strong enough to continue to give false answers even after consuming the truth mushroom.
The fungi and target’s soul would be sacrificed, and the target in a near-dead state would have to tell the truth through the voiced spirit form.
This was another link between an ability and exclusive skill.
With Interrogation Soul Flames, Lin Yuan could receive whatever answer he wanted.
There were times when a question could clear up a cloud of doubts.
Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning was specifically meant to clear up doubts.
[Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning]: When a judgment cannot be made on an issue, one can be staked to question the sky and ask for a positive solution.
When Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds to develop, he would not have as smooth of a time as when he developed in the main world. Inevitably, he would encounter danger, obstacles, and challenges.
Using Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning, Lin Yuan could tap into the roots of the sky and carve out an opportunity. This would allow him to make a judgment on a matter he alone could not decide on.
With Lin Yuan’s intelligence, he was always able to come up with ways to get himself out of sticky situations.
However, the guidance from Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning would be good to have around.
After evolving to Myth Breed, the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom’s intelligence was still low. However, it could react appropriately to Lin Yuan’s words now.
