The Black Bronze Succulent’s exclusive skill Dark Essence helped improve the fey’s overall state. It could strengthen all of its abilities through the dark energy it absorbed.
The exceptional explosive capabilities of the Black Bronze Succulent were draining as it launched single-target and large-scale attacks.
Although Bronze Stem Succulent allowed it to store dark energy, it could not sustain the Black Bronze Succulent’s maximum attacking power for long.
Dark Carnage further increased the Black Bronze Succulent’s endurance by replenishing it with dark energy in a constant cycle.
Lin Yuan could not help but feel jealous as he looked at the Black Bronze Succulent.
Although both the Black Bronze Succulent and the Jasmine Lily started off as pathetic feys, his Jasmine Lily could only use Normal abilities despite being Platnium I/Fantasy III. It was because of Morbius’ Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan also had no idea what abilities the Jasmine Lily would come to comprehend after evolving.
He thought, If Morbius evolves to Fantasy Breed in the future and becomes stronger, the Spirit Lock spatial zone will change. Will I be able to see the Jasmine Lily gain more abilities besides Normal ones? Could I also have the chance to command a completed Jasmine Lily in battle?
Lin Yuan slapped his forehead and chided himself for having such a pipe dream.
The Spirit Lock spatial zone was already strong enough.
Master Hong Shen noticed Lin Yuan observing his Black Bronze Succulent, and a nostalgic yet smug expression appeared on his face.
“Young Master, I have a lot less spiritual energy than the average person. After contracting the Black Succulent early on, I could not contract any other feys for some time. Hence, I invested everything I had into nurturing it. When I realized that I had the talent to be a Creation Master, I invested all the resources I had collected over the span of 30 years to nurture the Black Bronze Succulent to its current level.”
Master Hong Shen heaved a long sigh.
“It’s a shame that soul injury afflicted me for over a decade. It prevented me from raising my spirit qi occupation rank past A-rank. Otherwise, I would definitely have become an S-rank spirit qi professional. The Black Bronze Succulent could also have been evolved to Suzerain quality. It was only five years ago that I sensed I had enough spiritual energy to contract a second fey. Since then, I haven’t been nurturing the Black Bronze Succulent. The resources I accumulated over the last five years all went to this jerk.”
While Master Hong Shen spoke, he circulated his spiritual energy, and an enchanting purplish-red succulent appeared in his hand.
One look at it made Lin Yuan feel that Master Hong Shen was rather shameless.
“You nurtured this Medusa Succulent over the last five years. Why aren’t you satisfied?”
Master Hong Shen looked at the Medusa Succulent forlornly and said, “I thought I was lucky at first. I managed to use the eye fluids of the marsh dimensional lifeform Medusa to cultivate a Medusa Succulent. However, I didn’t foresee that its Normal abilities would be completely incompatible with me. If only I hadn’t contracted the Black Succulent first. I should have contracted the Green Succulent.”
When Lin Yuan heard what Master Hong Shen said, he used True Data to check the Medusa Succulent’s attributes.
[Fey Name]: Medusa Succulent
[Spirit-Lifeform Species]: Crassulaceae genus/Aeonium genus
[Fey Grade]: Normal (7/10)
[Fey Type]: Poison
[Fey Quality]: Epic
Abilities:
[Same Type Petrification]: By swaying its leaves, it will petrify lifeforms that have been injured by energy and are of a similar type.
When Lin Yuan was done checking the Medusa Succulent’s Normal ability, he looked at Master Hong Shen strangely.
Lin Yuan finally knew why Master Hong Shen looked like he had been horribly trampled despite having nurtured such an elite fey.
This Medusa Succulent and Master Hong Shen were like oil and water.
When the Medusa Succulent was cultivated from the Medusa’s eye fluids, it would absorb the element nearest to it.
According to the element it absorbed, its type would be decided.
This was very similar to when elemental spiritual materials triggered the Elemental Shellfish’s mutation.
However, the Elemental Shellfish’s mutation had been externally directed while the Medusa Succulent’s absorption was self-directed.
Thus, it was extremely difficult to control the Medusa Succulent’s type.
The Medusa Succulent’s Normal ability was set. Same Type Petrification could be taken as the Medusa Succulent’s signature move.
When Same Type Petrification was used on feys of lower quality, it would instantly turn the target’s flesh and bones into stone.
The petrified flesh and bones were very fragile and would shatter with the slightest force.
This would result in the death of the petrified fey.
Even if the opponent’s fey was of a higher quality and had more power than the Medusa Succulent, Same Type Petrification could also freeze them.
This was an incredibly terrifying control ability.
When Lin Yuan had been in the process of choosing support-type feys with control abilities, he had not become the Moon Empress’s disciple yet.
At that time, he had not been at the level where he would be aware of succulent-species feys like the Medusa Succulent. If so, he might have included another option besides the Blue Flash Butterfly.
Lin Yuan looked around at the state of the studio, and the medicine bottle of Bitter Bracken Root polls that Master Hong Shen had tossed to the side.
He could guess why the Medusa Succulent was poison-type.
When Master Hong Shen was nurturing the Medusa Succulent, he must have placed many dark-type spiritual ingredients around the studio in order to increase the proportion of dark-type elements in the studio.
The Medusa Succulent must have absorbed the contaminated air in the studio when it was being nurtured.
Another possibility was that when the Medusa Succulent was being nurtured, Master Hong Shen’s soul injury had relapsed and forced him to consume Bitter Bracken Roots. Thus, the Medusa Succulent had absorbed the poison energy from the Bitter Bracken Roots.
Master Hong Shen said regretfully, “Maybe the Medusa Succulent and I are just ill-fated. I don’t have the ability to find emperor-class experts and Myth Breed feys with Dark Laws to help me transform this Medusa Succulent. It’s a blessing that my soul injury is now healed. I’m not going to insist on contracting this poison-type Medusa Succulent.”
While Master Hong Shen spoke, darkness appeared before his eyes. It was as though he had been plunged into endless darkness.
The youth’s bright voice exclaimed, “Dark Laws? I can help you.”
