Chapter 2743 The Death Demon Concubine Beast's Opportunity!
If Lin Yuan used Morbius' ability to melt this Reincarnation Gold Jade, he could turn the Reincarnation Gold Jade into spatial equipment of various sizes!
However, Spring felt that there was no need for Lin Yuan to do this because it would be a waste of the Totem God's energy.
The Totem God's energy was much more valuable than the Reincarnation Gold Jade.
Furthermore, once he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, there would be other metal spiritual ingredients of the same level as the Reincarnation Gold Jade. It was considered average among World Emperor metal spiritual ingredients.
After pondering for a moment, Spring told Lin Yuan softly, "Lord Saint, the resources you possess are limited by this Class 2 world and Tower Canon's dimensional world's levels. Once you arrive at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, you will realize that there are far more precious treasures!
"I advise you to wait until your horizons have been broadened by the Sky Beyond the Clouds before making any further plans."
At this point, Spring hastily bowed to Lin Yuan. She believed that as his follower, she had overstepped the boundaries by giving him a suggestion.
Lin Yuan was the type to listen to the opinions of those around him. This was especially so after he accepted this identity.
It went without saying that Lin Yuan would not listen to these opinions blindly. After hearing them, he would do his own deep contemplation.
Lin Yuan found her words to be reasonable.
With his horizons constrained by not being there himself, he could not properly grasp the entire scope of the Sky Beyond the Clouds regardless of how much information he learned.
Lin Yuan still had not decided who he would give these eight black coffins made of Reincarnation Gold Jade.
These eight black coggins were not urgent resources to him. As such, he decided to store them away for now.
The Source Sand rummaged through the hall, and Lin Yuan emptied the castle of almost all of its resources.
Spring softly told Lin Yuan, "Lord Saint, this castle is only meant to exhibit these eight black coffins. After the Eight Pages of Tower Canon woke up, they moved all their resources into their respective towers.
"I will go with you to organize the resources in those towers before heading below the castle to organize the situation there! Tower Canon slept for 6,000 years. They depleted their resources continuously while using their black coffins to recover their injuries.
"Moreover, it took a substantial amount of resources to combine the dead world's roots with the main world's roots. I don't think Tower Canon has much resources left. If Tower Canon had a large amount of resources, fusing the dead world's roots with the main world's roots wouldn't have taken so long."
Lin Yuan nodded when he heard that.
Lin Yuan had not hoped to gain a large amount of resources from Tower Canon's old nest.
If Lin Yuan was fully fixated on resources, he could have plundered resources from the main world, like the Eight Pages of Tower Canon had done.
Not only did he not do this, but he even used his own resources to foster the main world's development.
Lin Yuan mainly wanted to search for Tower Canon's towers and the Gardener Konjac's ortets.
Tower Canon had used metals that were at least on the same level as the Reincarnation Gold Jade to build the towers.
Morbius had already broken down Fifth Page Falling Rainbow's tower into its metal materials, and they were stored in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
…
Lin Yuan and Spring did not take long to sweep through the towers. Although the profits were not significant, there were still profits nonetheless!
Lin Yuan found many spiritual ingredients that contained pure death aura.
These spiritual ingredients did not have any benefits for the main world, so Lin Yuan decided to feed these spiritual ingredients to Silver Corona and Red Thorn.
Lin Yuan then melted down these towers.
Morbius was only calcifying the metals. If it did not activate the metals' abilities, it did not have to use up much energy.
After cleaning out these towers, Lin Yuan shifted his attention to the base of the castle.
There was a dark door to the entrance of the castle's first floor. The dark door was sealed tightly and could only be opened by energy that contained death aura.
Spring did not wait for Lin Yuan to take action and punched through the dark door with her left fist. The door shattered with a thunderous bang.
When Spring smashed the dark door, she sensed the death aura that radiated endlessly from below the door. This death aura could cause violent spiritual fluctuations and would have a large impact on a lifeform's body and intelligence.
Compared to pure death aura, this death aura that contained a large number of dead souls was far more precious!
Spring circulated the energy in her body, and a vortex of wind appeared in front of her.
Spring began compressing the death aura that contained dead souls.
"Lord Saint, let me go on ahead to block any possible dangers! You can stay here to collect resources!
"This circular space extends deep into the ground and ends very close to the ley lines. The deeper you go, the more concentrated the death aura that contains these dead souls.
"If you don't clean this place, this death aura and the pure death aura will culminate in new types of dead dimensional lifeforms in a few years and they will begin spreading anew.
"There is a piece of knowledge that all experts of the Sky Beyond the Clouds are aware of. After fighting dead dimensional lifeforms, one must clear the battleground immediately after the battle ends, regardless of how bad one's injuries are.
"There are a few famous cases in the Sky Beyond the Clouds where there was no time to clear the corpses of dead dimensional lifeforms and the remaining dead souls. As a result, the dead spirits rose up again and launched a successful counterattack!"
On his way here, Lin Yuan saw that one level had been turned into a garden. However, the garden did not have a pleasant appearance at all.
Spring was continuously collecting the death aura in the environment. Hence, the concentration of the death aura was falling, and a few plants that relied on the death aura withered.
The only living plants in the garden were those with large leaves covered with scars that Lin Yuan was familiar with.
Lin Yuan found these startling scars to be fascinating.
These plants were the Gardener Konjac that enabled Red Thorn's Tongue of Relinquish to mutate.
The Gardener Konjac was a fey that could depend on death aura or spirit qi to survive.
Lin Yuan had encountered the Gardener Konjac's seeds not only in Ji Feng's body but also obtained one from Whale Ocean Commerce.
It could be said that Lin Yuan understood the Gardener Konjac well.
Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to carefully dig around the Gardener Konjac's roots before he summoned four Hundred Questions Beasts and instructed them to store the Gardener Konjac away.
Lin Yuan did not intend to let Red Thorn consume the Gardener Konjac immediately. Instead, he was going to use a few of the Hundred Questions Beasts to analyze it before nurturing it. Then, he would be able to feed the Gardener Konjac to Red Thorn regularly.
Through this, it was likely that the Tongue of Relinquish would be able to evolve continuously!
If the day came that the Gardener Konjac was no longer able to help the Tongue of Relinquish evolve, Lin Yuan could just destroy the Gardener Konjac!
If the Gardener Konjac could not be of help to him, Lin Yuan would not allow a plant like that to continue living in the main world's environment. Once the Gardener Konjac was allowed to spread, it would wreak as much havoc as a carcinoma fey!
…
This trip to collect Tower Canon's resources had met Lin Yuan's expectations. He felt no motivation to send the Source Sand to look for more resources.
Lin Yuan communicated with his feys in his mind.
He noticed that Genius had been so busy of late that it was no longer as clingy as it used to be.
Instead, Merciful Soul frequently called him out for a chat.
Although Lin Yuan had robbed Merciful Soul from Lu Ou, he had already formed a contract with it.
Lin Yuan treated Merciful Soul the same way that he did his other feys. He did not make it feel like it was any different from the others.
While Lin Yuan was chatting with Merciful Soul, Spring suddenly said, "Lord Saint, I know how Tower Canon managed to activate the dead spirits crisis! I used to think that they were able to do so because the dead world's roots were healthy and relatively complete. But it turns out that I was wrong. Tower Canon was collecting calamity and turning it into curses. They were cursing the ley lines to weaken them and make them more susceptible to being infected by death aura."
Spring was about to describe a solution when she saw Lin Yuan raise his hand and summon a strange small beast.
Lin Yuan let Merciful Soul out, and it immediately pounced onto his shoulder and wrapped its tail around his neck before nudging his face with its own soft one.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Merciful Soul.

Merciful Soul had reached Suzerain X/Myth II. It was a rare curse-type/spiritual-type/soul-type fey.
Merciful Soul was skilled at using curses and could bring misfortune to others. But at the same time, calamity and curses were the best nourishment for it.
If what Spring said was true, Merciful Soul would be the biggest beneficiary of this trip to Tower Canon's old nest.
Spring was slightly stunned when she saw Merciful Soul.
This was firstly due to Merciful Soul's abilities. It was rare to come across a fey like Merciful Soul that could absorb calamity and change the fate of an environment. Feys with such abilities were also rarities in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Spring was curious to see what divine kingdom ability Merciful Soul would gain after it evolved to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. Given Merciful Soul's current state, it was likely that its divine kingdom ability would be related to curses and fate.
Moreover, Spring had seen the image of Merciful Soul on the wall illustration in her palace.
Otherwise, she would never show such an expression regardless of how outstanding a Suzerain/Myth fey was.
When she saw that Lin Yuan was about to send Merciful Soul to absorb the calamity and curse power around the dead spirit pools in front of them, Spring hurriedly said, "Lord Saint, I suggest that you leave the calamity and curse power alone for now. They will not dissipate after being sealed here.
"You can send your fey to absorb the calamity and curse power after the Returning Saint Pool enlightens your birth horoscope. This will not only facilitate the evolution of your fey's bloodline but the strength of this calamity and curse power might even enable your fey to reach World Emperor/Divine Kingdom!"
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and asked Spring, "How long will it take for me to head to Epoch God Palace and enlighten my birth horoscope in the Returning Saint Pool?"
Lin Yuan had asked Spring the most pressing question in his mind.
