Chapter 271: Epiphany! Twin Red Pagoda’s Salvation!
There was nothing else in this golden metal disc except for this small tree. It was about half a meter tall and looked very elegant yet strange.
Its leaves were a pure golden color that was unlike as tacky as the color of metal. Instead, it was like the color emitted by the most dazzling sun in the afternoon.
Its trunk and branches were very plain brown, but this brown trunk had a strange pattern that Lin Yuan found familiar at a glance.
He immediately recalled the phoenix plumes that Hu Quan had carved on the platane wood shelf in his Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan felt that the trunk’s and branches’ pattern was like the phoenix feathers Hu Quan had carved on the platane wood.
However, the texture on the platane wood in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was carved by hands, while the one on the trunk and branches on this elegant yet strange small tree were naturally grown.
The golden leaves on the branches of this small tree were in the shape of five claws. In Lin Yuan’s opinion, they seemed to be like the claws of avian feys but not as sharp as theirs.
This half-meter-tall small tree grew toward the south, and its branches and leaves ringed together like a golden bird’s nest.
The more Lin Yuan looked at it, the more he felt that the branches and leaves of the half-meter-tall small tree were growing in the shape of a bird’s nest.
There seemed to be a thin fur layer on the leaves that emitted a soft glow with a sense of holy beauty. The pattern on the trunk that was like phoenix plumes was absorbing the huge amount of spirit qi from the roots of the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower. It was flowing with a dazzling golden glow, looking divine and extraordinary.
Lin Yuan did not know what kind of fey this elegant and strange small tree was and its uses, but he would be able to know once he summoned Morbius and used True Data on it.
However, Lin Yuan did not want to summon this small tree out of the golden disc. If he risked summoning it, this small golden tree would not be able to absorb spiritual power from the roots of the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower. It would likely experience unpredictable changes with the flame energy in this flame vortex.
The Twin Red Pagoda’s support flower had produced the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire at that moment.
As long as the small golden tree’s spirit qi absorption from the roots of the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower was cut off, the Twin Red Pagoda’s support flower would instantly wither upon sensing the matured Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.
If the support flower withered, this Twin Red Pagoda would only be left with an almost withered main flower and a matured Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.
The Lifeform Sacrificial Fire was ranked seventh among the world of fire-element spiritual materials because of its original characteristics.
With the injection of a large amount of fire elements from the red vortex, the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire that contained the vitality would likely be changed and metamorphosed into a brand new flame.
However, no matter how powerful this metamorphosed flame was, it would no longer be the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.
Just like the Elemental Shellfish, although it was powerful when it reached Bronze, it lost its original function.
Therefore, Lin Yuan could only make a risky move and see whether he could save the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower so that it could absorb the huge amount of fire-element energy from the red vortex.
He now had some doubts that the Twin Red Pagoda was twins at first. The Red Pagoda that produced the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire in this small strange golden tree had used all its strength to produce a support bud to find a way out for the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire that it had produced with all its might. Such an evolution in the crisis made the normal Red Pagoda mutate into a Twin Red Pagoda.
The Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower had not produced a mature Lifeform Sacrificial Fire yet. Thus, only the Twin Red Pagoda’s support flower would dissipate. What Lin Yuan had to do was to let the main flower absorb this fire-element energy from the red flame.
This would ensure that the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire would not mutate under this fire element and allow the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower to bloom again and produce a new Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.
Lin Yuan summoned Morbius in his heart.
“Morbius, what are the chances of using the Pure Land of Bliss to heal this Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower?”
Morbius’ voice rang in his mind.
“Yuan, regarding the state of this Twin Red Pagoda, as long as you are willing to use a spirit qi crystal, the large amount of pure spirit qi in it can revive its main flower.”
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan did not hesitate to take a spirit qi crystal out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone. If this Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower was revived, as long as it could produce another Lifeform Sacrificial Fire, he would be willing to use ten spirit qi crystals, let alone one.
Morbius’ Spirit Qi Condensation only took around seven days to condense one spirit qi crystal in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
This was only the effect of Morbius’ ability at Bronze/Legend. If it were to reach Silver, then its Spirit Qi Condensation would become even stronger, and there would be more spirit qi in the condensed spirit qi crystal.
It had been more than a month since Lin Yuan had enhanced his source-type Source Sand from Bronze X/Fantasy I to Gold I/Fantasy I.
That small limestone bowl in the Spirit Lock spatial zone now had six spirit qi crystals. Lin Yuan naturally would not let go of such a good thing of using a spirit qi crystal that condensed in seven days in exchange for the Red Pagoda. As long as he nurtured the Red Pagoda, it was akin to having a Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.
Lin Yuan took out that spirit qi crystal and placed it on the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower. The moment he crushed the sparkling spirit qi crystal with the force of his fingers, he broke the connection between the golden disc and the root of the Twin Red Pagoda’s main flower.
At that moment, the Twin Red Pagoda’s support flower instantly withered, and a dark-green flame that was like a burning emerald appeared on where the support flower was before.
Lin Yuan reached out and held this emerald Lifeform Sacrificial Fire. It gave him the feeling as though it was warm water containing a huge amount of vitality that was not hot at all. It felt warm in his palms.
Although the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire was a kind of very strange flame, it did not have the characteristics of a burning flame but contained a strong vitality, which terrified Lin Yuan. It was worthy of being able to replace the tree core of plant feys and allow them to regain life again.
As Lin Yuan looked at the emerald Lifeform Sacrificial Fire, he suddenly entered a wonderful state of epiphany. He was no stranger to it at all.
