Chapter 214: The Secret of Fairy Transformation: The Elf Race

Through this period of research into Fairy transformation, Jerry discovered that all members of the Soul Beast Race can actually transform into Fairies.

There is a slight difference between plant-type Soul Beasts and animal-type Soul Beasts when it comes to transforming into Fairies.

The prerequisite for animal-type Soul Beasts to transform into Fairies is that their Spirit Power must reach a certain level; Soul Beasts with high Spirit Power also have high intelligence, and after learning some knowledge, they will possess very high wisdom.

Once animal-type Soul Beasts possess wisdom, further increasing their Spirit Power until their Cultivation reaches one hundred thousand years allows them to transform into Fairies.

Like Daming and Erming, with one hundred thousand years of Cultivation and high wisdom, they transformed into Fairies directly after Jerry used Wangchuan Qiushui Dew to increase their Spirit Power.

Plant-type Soul Beasts take much longer to cultivate, many times longer than animal Soul Beasts, so their Spirit Power is generally higher; furthermore, the plant-type Soul Beasts of this world communicate and exchange information with one another, so their wisdom is relatively higher as well.

When a plant-type Soul Beast's Cultivation reaches one hundred thousand years and it survives the Thunder Tribulation, a portion of the Rule restrictions is lifted; at this point, as long as they have the method for Fairy transformation, they can transform.

Fairy transformation for plants is also diverse; most plants will basically transform into the appearance of a Fairy, while others will transform into the appearance of an adult human.

As for those who transform into the appearance of a Fairy, except for the royal family, all others require Jerry to acknowledge their status.

Therefore, there are three keys to Fairy transformation: one hundred thousand years of Cultivation, Spirit Power, and wisdom.

After understanding these things, Jerry prepared to cultivate more Fairy races.

While cultivating, Jerry chatted with the Fairy Queen, though the method of chatting was a bit strange—a question-and-answer style chat where Jerry asked and the Fairy Queen answered.

Jerry asked the Fairy Queen about Angels and Elves, as the World Consciousness had told Jerry about these two races before.

The appearance of Angels is something Jerry is very familiar with, as there are many statues of them in the Spirit Hall, so he did not feel it was strange.

However, Jerry was very interested in the Elf Race; to Jerry, the Elf Race of this world was an unknown race.

The Fairy Queen did indeed know about these two races, so she started with the Angels.

In ancient times, they were not called Angels, but were referred to as Winged Humans.

Winged Humans did not just possess the Light Attribute; they had other attributes as well, as it was a collective term.

They were natural warriors, skilled in using long swords for close combat and bows and arrows for ranged attacks.

It could be said that the Winged Humans were a race of warriors; no matter the attribute, their combat power was very strong.

It was precisely because of this reason that in ancient times, they were the first to join the battlefield.

Because Winged Humans had wings on their backs and could fight in the sky and on the ground, the Winged Human Clan soon unified the humans of the continent at that time and established the Spirit Hall.

Afterward, the Winged Humans called themselves messengers of heaven, or Angels for short, claiming it was to bring peace to the continent.

However, because they became too arrogant, they intervened in the War of the Gods; they did not join other factions but chose to form their own, becoming a third-party force on the battlefield.

The Angel God overestimated their own strength, thinking that since the Asura God and the others had become gods as humans and had unified human society, then human gods must also rule, so they went to conquer them first, but ultimately fell at the hands of the Asura God.

With the god dead, the remaining Angels could not escape the slaughter of others.

Therefore, the Angel God and the Angel Legion they led were completely annihilated at that time.

The gods were all participating in the War of the Gods and had no time to manage the Spirit Hall on the continent; later, after the War of the Gods ended, the World Consciousness was born, and seeing the continent riddled with holes from these gods, it became furious and added many Rules to these gods.

Even after becoming gods, they could not resist the World Consciousness, and in the end, they fled back to the God Realm in disgrace, which is why the Spirit Hall was able to be preserved.

Without gods and without the suppression of the Angel Legion, the lack of high-end combat power caused various situations to arise in the Spirit Hall, leaving them unable to attend to anything else; in this gap, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Dou Empire rose.

The Fairy Queen told Jerry that the true form of the Angel God was a Light Bird, and Angels with the Light Attribute were the royal family; some of the weaker ones were left behind to guard the Spirit Hall, which is why there are still Spirit Masters with Angel martial souls on the continent today.

Their bodies all contain the bloodline of the Light Bird.

The Fairy Queen had used her Divine Power to examine the Spirit Hall, and even in Qian Renxue, who had relatively good talent, there was only a faint Light Bird bloodline in her body, and it was still in an unawakened state.

Originally, Jerry had thought about extracting some blood from Qian Renxue or Qian Daoliu to refine a Bloodline Pill, but the Fairy Queen said that since it was not awakened, the blood would be of no use.

Now, there are no Light Birds on the continent at all; even if there are some bird-type Soul Beasts with the Light Attribute, their bodies no longer contain the Light Bird bloodline; it can be said that this is a completely extinct race.

Jerry's idea of reviving the Angel Race was declared over before it even began.

As for the Elf Race, the Fairy Queen also introduced them to Jerry.

There is a type of tree in this world called the Life Tree; this tree is very magical, its branches can be made into various weapons, its leaves can provide Detoxification, and its sap can increase Spirit Power—it can be said that its whole body is a treasure.

Moreover, the Life Tree has very powerful Healing abilities; as long as there is a breath of life left, it can heal.

In the beginning of ancient times, there were many Life Trees, but after it was discovered that they had so many uses, they were scrambled for; however, the Life Tree cannot survive just anywhere, and those Life Trees that were snatched away eventually died because they could not adapt to the environment.

The Star Dou Great Forest originally had a Life Tree, and because this Life Tree grew in the core area, its Cultivation reached one hundred thousand years, after which it began to gestate Life Fruit; each mature Life Fruit could give birth to an Elf.

After the Elf Race was born, they lived beside the Life Tree; they loved the forest very much, took protecting the forest as their duty, and hated all races that destroyed the forest.

Because of the Fairy Race's special effect on plants, the Elf Race always acted as the protectors of the Fairy Race.

Adult Elves would choose one from the Fairy Race to form a contract with.

On one hand, it was to protect the Fairies, and on the other hand, after forming the contract, the strength of the Elf Race would be greatly improved.

Because of the special effect of the Life Tree, it was always coveted by other races.

Therefore, during the War of the Gods, the Life Tree was exposed and then scrambled for by other races.

The Fairy Queen was also drawn into the war because of this; when the Fairy Queen fell, the other Elves and Fairies fought to the death, and in the end, both races were completely wiped out.

The Life Tree was also very angry and very sad because of this; it knew its power could not resist the other invaders, and it did not want to become their tool, so it finally chose to self-destruct to end itself.

However, the Life Tree is different from other plants; even if there is only one leaf, if it encounters Life Water, it can grow into a new Life Tree.

The reason why the previously transplanted Life Trees died was because they all ignored the Life Water.

But after the self-destruction, many races still obtained some branches and leaves of the Life Tree, but they did not know that only Life Water was needed to cultivate a new Life Tree.

These branches and leaves were used less and less; so many years have passed, and the leaves should have been used up, but many of the branches were made into weapons and preserved.

If Jerry is lucky enough to find a branch, he only needs to take it to the Life Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate a Life Tree.

The Life Lake was formed when the Life Tree self-destructed back then and blew the Life Water out from underground.

Many branches were taken to the God Realm back then; if there are still Life Tree branches on the continent now, the most likely place they would exist is the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall—that would be easy to handle.

All the treasures collected by the Spirit Hall over the years, those whose uses are unknown or those that are relatively precious, are all placed in the treasury.

However, people nowadays value soul bones and Soul Guidance Devices the most; Jerry has seen all the Soul Guidance Devices and did not find any made from the Life Tree, and Jerry is not interested in soul bones, so he has not looked at them.

Now that he thinks about it, the Spirit Hall's treasury must contain more than just soul bones and Soul Guidance Devices.

The Fairy Queen told Jerry that the Life Tree would shed some branches for the Elves to make into bows and arrows, and every adult Elf would possess a bow and arrow made from a Life Tree branch.

Besides bows and arrows, there were also some that were just slightly polished and used directly; one only needed to inject Wood Attribute soul power to release Healing skills.

After a Life Tree branch left the body, it would slowly shrink its life energy over time, so it looked like a dead branch from the outside; if someone didn't know, they would probably just throw it away as an ordinary tree branch.

Knowing what the Life Tree branches looked like, Jerry returned directly to the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall's treasury was now at an altitude of nine thousand meters; although no one was guarding it now, the attack and defense devices on the perimeter of the treasury were all activated.

To get inside, one could only enter the interior directly through a Teleportation Array.

This Teleportation Array that could transport one into the interior of the treasury was only in Qian Daoliu's courtyard.

Actually, Jerry could make another one, but there was no need, and there was no need to be sneaky.

He could just go to the Great Elder directly; anyway, to them, the most precious things inside now were soul bones, and everything else was unimportant.

After informing the Great Elder, Jerry entered the treasury.

This treasury had been reorganized with rows of shelves, but there were no treasures on them, only Storage Rings.

Because Jerry had published the method for making Storage Rings, the Spirit Guidance Master students at the Spirit Hall Academy all liked to refine Storage Rings, because these Storage Rings had become necessities in Wuhun City, sold very quickly, and allowed them to earn more points to exchange for other materials.

In front of every Storage Ring on the shelves was a card recording what was inside the ring.

The classification was very clear; Jerry skipped the shelves for soul bones and Soul Guidance Devices and came to the place where weapons were kept.

The weapons that could be placed here were all left over from a long time ago, but they were rarely used now, so keeping them was just for commemorative significance.

Jerry found the Storage Ring where bows and arrows were kept, took out all the bows and arrows inside, and checked them one by one; most were bows and arrows made of metal, and only a few were made of other materials.

After checking, he did not find any bows and arrows made of Life Tree branches, which was also within Jerry's expectations.

Angels were also good at using bows and arrows; even if there had been bows and arrows made of Life Tree branches in the past, they would have long been taken away by previous Angels, and then after they were wiped out, the weapons should have been taken away by people from the God Realm.

Not finding any on the weapon shelves, Jerry came to the miscellaneous items area.

The area of the miscellaneous items section was very large, larger than any other area.

Many things with unknown uses were stored in the miscellaneous items area.

In the miscellaneous items area, Jerry even found a Night Pearl; this thing, besides looking good and glowing, really had no practical use, so it was classified into the miscellaneous items area.

He also found a few Soul Beast eggs, but they were all dead eggs without a trace of life aura.

All sorts of messy things were placed in the miscellaneous items area, many of which were decorations.

Jerry patiently checked them one by one, and after a day, Jerry found three special items.

One of them was very similar to the Life Tree branch described by the Fairy Queen, but there were some burn marks from fire on it; Jerry injected Wood Attribute soul power, but there was no reaction, so he didn't know if it was specifically a Life Tree branch, so he would take it to the Star Dou Great Forest later to let the Fairy Queen take a look.

The second special item was a book made of jade, but it couldn't be opened; injecting various energies was useless, but this book emitted a white fluorescent light.

It couldn't possibly be a lighting device, because no one would make a lighting device in the shape of a book.

The third item was a bead the size of a human head; at first glance, this bead really had nothing special about it, ordinary to the point of being extremely ordinary, but why would the Spirit Hall's treasury place such an ordinary bead?

Jerry injected various attribute energies into it, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no effect at all.

Could it really just be an ordinary big bead?

If it really was, then why would people in the past put it in the treasury?

It was precisely because it was too ordinary that it aroused Jerry's attention.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he would find the Fairy Queen and ask.

Carrying the three items, he found the Fairy Queen.

Jerry held the charred branch and asked the Fairy Queen if it was a branch of the Life Tree.

The Fairy Queen took it into her hand and looked at it carefully; it was really severely burned on the outside, so she couldn't tell.

She casually scraped off the burned part on the outside, and inside there was only a section of branch the length of a middle finger that had not been burned.

After looking for a long time, she didn't see any life, so the Fairy Queen said: "I can't tell; the burn damage is too severe, and this should have been placed for a long time, there isn't a shred of energy, I can't tell if it's a Life Tree, so I plan to take some Life Water from the Life Lake and soak this wood to see."

"Alright then, that's all we can do; let's go, let's go now!" After Jerry finished speaking, he and the Fairy Queen went to the Life Lake together.

"This Life Lake was born from Life Water diluted by rainwater; there isn't much Life Water inside. Jerry, didn't you have a purification method before? Purify some and try it."

Jerry took out the distillation device he used to produce fine wine and poured bucket after bucket of water into the distillation device.

Then he started the distillation device; because the boiling point of Life Water was relatively high, what evaporated was all water, and what remained was Life Water.

As the water evaporated, a bowl of liquid was finally left; at a temperature of 100 degrees, these liquids did not release any more water.

This little bit remaining should be the Life Water with relatively high purity.

It was just that the equipment was crude, and he could only do this much.

He took out this bowl of liquid and put the branch with the burned shell stripped off directly into the bowl.
