Chapter 589: The Thoughtful Source Sand and a Wave of Evolution
Lin Yuan realized that the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee became weak after producing one Acid Corpse Poison Bee.
It would remain weak for three days.
According to True Data’s assessment of the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s acid, Lin Yuan estimated that the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would need a month to recover after producing the Acid Corpse Poison Bee once.
Lin Yuan felt that the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was like a woman. It needed to recuperate for three days after birth and a month of downtime after that before it could give birth again.
Although, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had a much shorter period of downtime.
Lin Yuan stored away the rest of the Heart-Penetrating Ironline that the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had not chosen with a wave of his hand.
This test allowed him to understand the Acid Corpse Poison Bee’s limit when controlling a dimensional lifeform’s body.
The dimensional lifeform could not be more powerful than the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.
After a few minutes, Lin Yuan noticed that something seemed to be crawling around inside of the Heart-Penetrating Ironline that had been injected with the Acid Corpse Poison Bee.
When the thing crawled to the Heart-Penetrating Ironline’s head, the Heart-Penetrating Ironline’s body started to move.
Lin Yuan sensed the Heart-Penetrating Ironline’s condition. Even though the Acid Corpse Poison Bee was controlling it, the Heart-Penetrating Ironline was acting no different from when it was alive.
If there was a difference to be considered, the puppet Heart-Penetrating Ironline did not feel fear or pain.
It was a mindless puppet that only obeyed the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee that was collapsed on the ground let out a buzzing noise.
Suddenly, the puppet Heart-Penetrating Ironline retracted its body.
It slowly turned into a black pupa about half as long as Lin Yuan’s pinky.
The weakened Acid Corpse Poison Bee could not move its body, so Lin Yuan instructed Red Thorn to use its vines to collect the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee and black pupae into its body.
One month might seem like a long time, but Lin Yuan was not upset about it.
At this rate, twelve puppets could be created per year. This number greatly exceeded Lin Yuan’s expectations.
Once the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee evolved, Lin Yuan stored Red Thorn away in the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box. He then ordered Red Thorn to continue to absorb Eyes of Relinquish and nurture the Blood Brew Grapevine.
Lin Yuan noticed that Genius and Chimey were perched on the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree branches and acting secretively.
He did not know what they were twittering about.
Lin Yuan shook his head but did not disturb them. He went back to his affairs.
At that moment, the Source Sand started to expand and contract rapidly, spitting a bunch of things out of the sand.
Lin Yuan saw that the things were the golden discs he had not had the time to store back in the dimensional rift and the 30 source-type items that he had snatched from the dimensional hub before falling unconscious.
He was surprised to see that his Source Sand had stored all these items for him after he had fallen unconscious.
Lin Yuan felt that the Source Sand was too thoughtful.
The 30 source-type items were rather valuable to Lin Yuan as well. However, he was more pleasantly surprised to see the big pile of golden discs.
Lin Yuan no longer needed to spend his days doggedly replenishing the energy ores in the spirit pool with these golden discs.
Lin Yuan stored the close to 100 golden discs in the beetle-shaped Diamond fey storage box, and they devoured all the energy ores in there.
Lin Yuan stacked up the golden discs in the spirit pool and, coupled with the almond leaf-shaped butterfly shell flowers, it made for a pretty scene.
Now, he would not need to worry about Morbius evolving the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan shook his body and took two Golden Curtain Peonies out of the fey storage box and placed them with the 108 Starlight Grass and 36 Floating Cloud Flowers.
He also summoned Zhou Luo’s Bronze/Epic Dark Snake Dragon Lizard and Decayed Mud Lizard, as well as the Burning Sunflower and Chu Ci’s Bronze X/Epic Vajra Butterfly.
After some calculations, Lin Yuan took out the remaining 36 spirit qi crystals and crushed two of the spirit qi crystals in his hand.
Since Morbius was still sleeping, Lin Yuan had to direct the spirit qi from the spirit qi crystals into the Burning Sunflower, the Vajra Butterfly, the Dark Snake Dragon Lizard, and the Decayed Mud Lizard on his own.
Soon, the four feys evolved from Bronze/Epic to Bronze/Legend.
Lin Yuan continued to move the spirit qi around, spreading it on the 108 Starlight Grass, 36 Floating Cloud Flowers, and two Golden Curtain Peonies.
The Starlight Grass and Floating Cloud Flowers Lin Yuan chose were mostly Bronze VII/Elite.
This saved Lin Yuan from depleting too much spirit qi.
All the plants started to evolve their grades and qualities. However, Lin Yuan’s calculation was slightly lacking.
Since the two spirit qi crystals were already used to evolve the four feys, there was not enough leftover spirit qi. Thus, more than 20 of the Starlight Grass were unable to reach Bronze X/Epic.
After some thought, Lin Yuan crushed another spirit qi crystal.
However, there was leftover spirit qi this time even after the rest of the Starlight Grass evolved to Bronze X/Epic.
There was a considerable surplus amount.
Lin Yuan mulled over his next step before directing the leftover spirit qi into the two Bronze X/Epic Golden Curtain Peonies, and they both evolved to Bronze/Legend.
The four evolved feys did not experience any major changes.
The only change to note was that the Decayed Mud Lizard had evolved to become the Decayed Mud Shield Lizard.
The Decayed Mud Shield Lizard had stronger defensive abilities than the Decayed Mud Lizard, but it did not look any different.
The two Golden Curtain Peonies, which relied on their looks, retained their easy-on-the-eyes exterior when they evolved.
