Chapter 45: New use of Devil Fruit, free-loading Spirit Status ()

"Your guess is not wrong; this little girl did indeed share the Spirit Status of the Taotie."

Looking at the appraisal results in her hand, White Yasha looked at Mitsuri Kanroji in front of her with great interest.

"Of course, the amount shared is not much, only to the extent of scattered scraps."

As a living history of Little Garden, White Yasha had also seen that exceptionally active Taotie.

At its strongest period, its strength even stepped half a foot into the three-digit realm.

If she had obtained the opponent's entire Spirit Status, Mitsuri Kanroji naturally wouldn't have only improved this much strength; it would have been at least the peak of the four-digit range.

"I have to say, you've brought me a big surprise."

Withdrawing her gaze from Mitsuri Kanroji, who was feeling a bit uncomfortable, White Yasha looked at Lin Que with great interest.

A Spirit Status is, simply put, the sum of several factors: the world's gift, the ranking of life, and the achievements of one's life.

Usually, after a person dies, the Spirit Status they possess also disappears.

But there are exceptions to everything, and Spirit Status is no exception.

Due to the special nature of the mutual observation between Little Garden and the outside world, those special existences in Little Garden who left behind mythological legends in the outside world do not have their Spirit Status disappear immediately even if they die.

As one of the famous Four Perils of the East, the Taotie naturally belongs to this category of existence.

As long as the legends in the outside world have not disappeared, the Taotie's Spirit Status will always be kept by the center of Little Garden until Little Garden summons or gives birth to a second Taotie from the outside.

At that time, the center of Little Garden will bestow the Taotie Spirit Status it has kept upon the other party, allowing this newborn Taotie to inherit most of the previous generation's strength.

This is a very common thing; in the long history of Little Garden, many gods are not even from the original batch.

"Normally, there are indeed some communities that, after a god dies, will guide and mix in some of the opponent's Spirit Status in various ways to cultivate the members of the community."

"But the Spirit Status obtained in this way is basically not of high quality, and it requires a lot of time."

"After doing it a few times, being able to break through to the six-digit range is considered high efficiency."

"Like you, breaking through to the peak of the six-digit range in one go can no longer be called mixing in Spirit Status."

White Yasha paused slightly and changed to a more accurate description: "You have turned this little girl into a life form similar to a Taotie, and one with a slight chance of becoming a true Taotie."

"If it weren't for this, the center of Little Garden couldn't have given the other party so much Spirit Status at once."

"As expected of the knowledgeable Lady White Yasha."

Lin Que applauded supportively and gave a thumbs up.

"You guessed it completely! Amazing, amazing!"

"Cut the crap!"

White Yasha raised an eyebrow, not falling for Lin Que's routine at all.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, kid; even if you flatter me, you still have to pay, at most I'll give you a discount."

Lin Que's eyes lit up: "Can I get a 90% discount? You know the situation of our No Names; the money on hand is really..."

"Shut up already, I'll give you a 'bone-breaking' discount instead."

White Yasha didn't believe Lin Que's nonsense at all: "You kid run to me every day, buying such a pile of strange props, and now you tell me you have no money?"

Lin Que coughed: "Those props are all for my official business, and as for the remaining money, it's to be saved for auctioning Leticia."

"Do you think I don't know about your bet with the Queen?"

White Yasha snorted coldly and waved her small hand: "Hurry up and pay the money, 50 gold coins, it's not expensive."

"Sigh, the affection has faded."

Taking out a small bag of gold coins and placing them in White Yasha's hand, Lin Que sighed silently.

It wasn't that he was short of this bit of money; it was mainly that the bargaining hadn't succeeded, which made him feel a bit regretful.

However, with White Yasha's appraisal, it could at least be confirmed that Mitsuri Kanroji had indeed become stronger because she shared the Taotie's Spirit Status.

And Mitsuri Kanroji was able to share the Taotie's Spirit Status because she ate the Taotie Fruit.

Thinking of the batch of Mythical Type fruits in the One Piece world, a thoughtful look flashed in Lin Que's eyes.

In the future, when obtaining Mythical Type fruits, he could investigate the situation here in Little Garden.

If there were any other situations where Spirit Status was vacant like the Taotie, it would be a way to free-load Spirit Status and allow newcomers with average strength to grow rapidly in a short period of time.

"By the way, White Yasha, help me look at this too."

After handling Mitsuri Kanroji's problem and confirming that she wouldn't have any new accidents, Lin Que took out a blue flower from his bosom and handed it over.

"This flower is called the Blue Spider Lily; it's a special flower I obtained by chance that can help a certain creature that fears sunlight overcome its defect and move freely in the sunlight."

"Help me see if Leticia, who also fears sunlight, can achieve the same effect if she consumes the Blue Spider Lily."

"You're probably dreaming."

Without taking the Blue Spider Lily, White Yasha gave her own answer directly.

"Those races that fear sunlight essentially have a defect in their racial bloodline."

"Although the final result is the same, the reasons for the defect are vastly different."

"This so-called Blue Spider Lily can help the race you mentioned overcome its defect, but it's impossible to help Leticia overcome hers."

"It doesn't matter, I just need to determine if it's effective."

Lin Que replied: "Even if it can't be completely overcome, even a tiny bit of effect is fine."

The demons of the Demon Slayer world and vampires like Leticia are not on the same level at all.

From the beginning, Lin Que never expected the Blue Spider Lily to allow Leticia to walk directly in the sunlight.

But unlike others, Lin Que had the item enhancement function unlocked by the chat group.

As long as the effect of the Blue Spider Lily wasn't completely zero, he could continuously enhance it, targeting the point of [Healing Leticia's bloodline defect].

The more times it was enhanced, the effect of healing the bloodline defect would naturally increase.

The chat group's item enhancement function was just that unreasonable.

"You only want to determine if there is a healing effect?"

After hearing Lin Que's request, White Yasha narrowed her eyes and took the Blue Spider Lily from his hand.

"This will take some time; it's not something that can be determined immediately in a short period."

Lin Que smiled with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave it to you."
