Lin Yuan thought for a moment before asking, “Has Duan He been a part of any factions other than the Spirit Guards?”
Wen Yu shook her head.
“Duan He has never joined any other factions. He was once a part of a team of emperor-class experts. However, he left for some reason. He is quite powerful. Duan He prefers to contract water-type feys that are skilled at attacking. According to the records in Hidden Moon Pavilion, as of three years ago, his main feys are the Suzerain/Myth I Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake and the Suzerain/Myth I Thunderwave Sky Chaos Snail.”
Lin Yuan frowned upon hearing the names of the feys that were compatible with Duan He.
When Lin Yuan had first met Duan He, the latter had been using a Diamond X/Fantasy V Sword Plume Sea Hawk.
Not only was the Sword Plume Sea Hawk incompatible with what Wen Yu said about Duan He, but it also did not exist in his team of main feys.
“Doesn’t Duan He have the Sword Plume Sea Hawk as one of his main feys?”
Wen Yu shook her head.
“Duan He can’t afford to nurture another fey after the Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake. However, he did contract the Unmatchable Bird five years ago. The Sword Plume Sea Hawk might be the Unmatchable Bird’s evolved form.”
Lin Yuan immediately understood.
The Unmatchable Bird was the same as his strengthened Red Thorn and Source Seed. It also transformed and evolved according to its contractor’s desired path.
Few Unmatchable Birds and Source Seeds could be found at the Radiance Federation. It was not a source-type lifeform that existed on its own.
Source Seeds were easily mistaken as rubbish, while the Unmatchable Bird was considered an extremely expensive source-type lifeform.
It was almost as valuable as fairy source-type items.
Lin Yuan remembered the Sword Plume Sea Hawk’s abilities and exclusive skills that he had seen on True Data. He could not help but lament how Duan He had failed to properly nurture it.
It was too one-sided and harsh to only nurture the Sword Plume Sea Hawk’s offensive side.
However, Wen Yu had said that Duan He’s only main fey was the Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake.
Lin Yuan felt that Duan He was only making his own life more difficult by nurturing the Sword Plume Sea Hawk in this way.
A multi-directional group attack managed to quickly harvest the pieces of dimensional lifeforms in the dimensional rift.
The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the truth.
The Bamboo Monarch had declared the Sea Demon Snake as the strongest fey in quality-wise.
However, being the strongest also caused the Sea Demon Snake to suffer consequences in the manifold.
The consequences would be shifted onto the Sea Demon Snake’s contractor.
Whenever the Sea Demon Snake grew a new head, it needed to absorb twice the resources as compared to the other feys of the same quality.
Duan He’s main fey was a Suzerain/Myth I Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake. This meant that Duan He could have nurtured six other Suzerain/Myth I feys in the time that he had invested into the Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake.
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up!
On the one hand, Duan He’s Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake was very strong.
If Lin Yuan could recruit Duan He, he would gain an unrivaled in its own quality and ferocious asset.
On the other hand, due to how difficult it was to nurture the Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake, Duan He had to be very poor!
This is great! The poorer, the better! The poorer he is, the more desperately he’ll need resources, and the happier I’ll be!
While talking to Wen Yu, Lin Yuan was done planting the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus in the hole the Source Sand had dug.
The Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ petals had fallen and scattered all over the soil, a blanket of red covering the ground.
The air was tinged with the osmanthus’ fragrance.
Wen Yu hurriedly grabbed a broom and started sweeping up the fallen osmanthus flowers.
“Young Master, we’ll be able to make our own honeyed osmanthus wine out of this Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus from now on,” said Wen Yu.
Lin Yuan smiled from ear to ear.
“Yes. This Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus is about to evolve to Gold grade. I don’t know if Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus that had its tree core removed will start a new lease of life once it evolves to Gold grade.”
Wen Yu knew that Lin Yuan wanted to cultivate the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.
“Young Master, I’ll bring back some plants and water from Leaning Moon Mountain later. Then, I’ll carefully water this Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus,” said Wen Yu.
A crystal bottle and a flat and unassuming paper item appeared in Lin Yuan’s hand.
Wen Yu was a Creation Master. She immediately recognized the paper item as the mutated paper-elemental source-type lifeform.
When she saw the amber fluid in the crystal bottle, Wen Yu was stunned.
One drop of the amber fluid had saved her and was the reason she had resolved to start a new chapter of her life. It was the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
As Lin Yuan handed the items to her, Wen Yu’s heart trembled vigorously.
The paper-elemental source-type item aside, there were at least 200 drops of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
A single drop was already unbelievably precious.
Top factions had come to Leaning Moon Mountain to humbly plead with the Moon Empress in the hopes of gaining the contents of this small bottle.
Lin Yuan saw that Wen Yu was making no move to receive the items.
“This paper-elemental source-type item is more suitable for you. If you drink this bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, your body will be completely cleansed of impurities. Once you’ve been cleansed, you’ll be able to contract the paper-elemental source-type item. Then, you should rest well tonight and replenish all the energy you lost from staying up all night,” said Lin Yuan.
Wen Yu gazed at Lin Yuan with several odd emotions. She then took a deep breath and accepted the items from Lin Yuan.
“Thank you, Young Master,” said Wen Yu earnestly.
The sun had risen.
Wen Yu summoned the Earth Rush Golden Lotus and bathed in the sunlight together.
Lin Yuan headed toward the kitchen and checked the soup that Liu Jie had cooked for him.
Liu Jie usually prepared a separate soup in the kitchen when he made meals.
Whenever this pot of soup was used up in cooking, Liu Jie would add more.
Lin Yuan was cooking the jar of soup that Liu Jie had helped him to prepare with special ingredients last night.
This jar of soup was the product of Lin Yuan’s cooking skills after not stepping into the kitchen for some time.
Wen Yu clenched her fist over the crystal bottle and the paper-elemental source-type item.
Suddenly, a gust of wind kicked up.
