Chapter 95: Source-Type Lifeform, Spine Gu

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan never knew what the standard of his Creation Master’s capabilities was. After all, Lin Yuan had never made contact with any proper Creation Master before. Take Elder Ning, for example. Lin Yuan only knew that Elder Ning was a Class 4 Creation Master, but never saw him at work.

Lin Yuan knew that a regular Creation Master would be using the concoction of spiritual ingredients to enhance a fey and upgrade its quality. As for the proper method of concoction, it was something that Lin Yuan had never seen before. Even a Class 1 Creation Master’s method was something that Lin Yuan had never witnessed before.

Since there was an opportunity now, Lin Yuan was watching in a particularly serious manner.

Cold Moon didn’t have much reaction as she felt that it was rather boring, so she shifted most of her attention to Lin Yuan.

Cai Cha, who was standing at one of the four corners, was looking at Cheng Rui with rather interested eyes. I wonder what this Cheng Rui did to offend Cold Moon and caused her to choose Xi Cha to conduct the contest.

Among the four sisters, Xi Cha was the one with the best Creation Master talent. Even if she hadn’t gone through any Creation Master exam, she was definitely at the standard of a Class 3 Creation Master. This contest should have a rather obvious result.

Xi Cha used her hand to knock on the platform and asked with a fiery tone, “For the Creation Master contest, do you want to evolve a fey, upgrade the fey’s quality, or to heal a fey with damaged roots? You can choose the method of contest.”

Cheng Rui’s face was instantly overjoyed after hearing the question. His nervous and affected mental state was now finally reverted to normal. He quickly said, “Let’s compete by healing a fey’s damaged roots.”

Cheng Rui’s extremely fast response made Lin Yuan involuntarily raise his brows. It seems like this Cheng Rui is very adept at healing a fey’s damaged roots. He actually believes that his chances of winning are higher. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to make a decision.

Xi Cha clapped thrice before she said indifferently, “As you wish.”

Soon enough, two black hound-like feys were brought over. The two hound-like feys were both half a meter in size. They had pointed ears, but they had plenty of teeth that were jutting out, making them abnormally sharp.

Lin Yuan could recognize that these were Violent Blood Terror Wolf pups and were considered extremely rare feys.

The Violent Blood Terror Wolf was a mighty Platinum fey, and the pups that were produced were already Silver.

These two Violent Blood Terror Wolf pups were only born for a few months and already had damaged roots.

Upon noticing their dying state, Lin Yuan carefully observed the two Violent Blood Terror Wolf pups. He might be rather far away, but Lin Yuan could still see that the two Violent Blood Terror Wolf pups’ eyes were already so swollen that they nearly couldn’t open. Their sharp-pointed ears also had large amounts of black blood scabs.

All these symptoms clearly indicated that the two pups had suffered trauma, and the injury was in the head. Their brains might have been damaged even with their tough skulls’ protection. The brain was where wisdom came from, and beast-type feys with damaged brains were extremely hard to heal.

Before becoming a C-rank spirit qi professional, if Lin Yuan used the Pure Land of Bliss within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he would need to use several days in order to rescue these pups. To be reserved, he would need at least two full days.

After becoming a C-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan still didn’t know his capability to enhance feys yet. However, he could imagine that he would definitely spend less time than before.

At that moment, Lin Yuan saw that Cheng Rui and Xi Cha had started to move. Both of them used a specific proportion and made a concoction with the spiritual ingredients within the crystal tool.

Both of them had proficient skills, but there were subtle differences.

Lin Yuan could obviously feel that Xi Cha’s spiritual ingredients preparation was faster than Cheng Rui’s, but it wasn’t significantly faster.

Different types of spiritual ingredients were steadily added to the crystal bottle. Every time a new spiritual ingredient was added inside, the medicinal fluid within the crystal bottle would undergo a different transformation.

As they concocted, Lin Yuan could see that although Cheng Rui and Xi Cha possessed the same spiritual ingredients, their recipes weren’t really the same. One could see the difference just from the color and texture.

Xi Cha’s concoction was a medicinal fluid that was amber in color and viscous like honey. Cheng Rui’s concoction was dark green, and it was constantly bubbling with opaque spirit fluid.

The duo took a concoction time of around three to four hours.

As Lin Yuan watched carefully, he had a rough idea of how Creation Masters worked. As compared to the concoction of spiritual ingredients, his method was still more direct and simple. However, the efficiency of Lin Yuan’s simple and direct method would depend on his spirit qi rank.

Therefore, Lin Yuan only required to increase his spirit qi professional rank to enhance his Creation Master’s capability. For Lin Yuan to increase his spirit qi professional rank, he could only do so by evolving more feys. As a result, Lin Yuan’s objectives to increase his spirit qi professional rank and Creation Master’s capability would become the same matter.

Cheng Rui was steadily concocting the spiritual ingredients. During the concoction, Cheng Rui suddenly placed the crystal tool on the platform, and he let out a deep smile when he looked up to see Xi Cha still concocting the spiritual ingredients.

Lin Yuan could see the Cheng Rui was circulating the spiritual power within his body. When circulating the spiritual power, Cheng Rui’s face appeared to be in pain as it nearly distorted.

After a moment, Cheng Rui’s skin under his sleeve appeared with a rather big bump, and it was moving toward Cheng Rui’s hukou acupoint¹. At the hukou acupoint, the bump was getting increasingly bigger as though something was bursting out.

Cheng Rui let out a grunt, and a five- or six-centimeter figure emerged, and it was like a small spine. It was an insect with dozens of legs.

Cold Moon frowned and asked Elder Du in a cold voice, “This is the source-type lifeform, Spine Gu¹?”

Elder Du nodded in response.

Lin Yuan never expected the thing that emerged from the flesh was actually Cheng Rui’s contracted source-type lifeform.

This source-type lifeform lived in the contractor’s body, and when called upon, it would bring extreme pain to the contractor. Even with such a source-type lifeform, Cheng Rui still chose to summon it during the contest. It meant that he was striving his best to win this contest.

But from the looks of things now, Xi Cha was only left with a few spiritual ingredients she had yet to use, meaning that Xi Cha’s concocted spirit fluid was about to be completed.

On the contrary, Cheng Rui still had half the spiritual ingredients he had yet to use.

Elder Du didn’t think that Cheng Rui would actually summon the source-type lifeform, Spine Gu. He sighed and said, “Cheng Rui’s grandfather is Cheng Wu, and this Spine Gu is separated out from Master Cheng Wu’s Gold Ring Spine Gu.”

When mentioning Cheng Wu’s name, Elder Du didn’t look good. After hearing Elder Du’s words, Lin Yuan might not know who Cheng Wu was, but Elder Du was a Class 4 Creation Master, and if he addressed Cheng Wu as a master, it meant that Cheng Wu was one of those pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters just a step away from reaching the Class 5 Creation Master.

It seemed like Cheng Rui was a rather powerful third-generation descendant.
