The brilliant glowing flames illuminated his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Radiance Hundred, he was definitely going to put all his attention toward preventing the possible disaster from occurring outside Indigo Azure City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, he was also Lin Yuan’s retainer knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie had long since dedicated himself to Lin Yuan, and every decision Liu Jie made received Lin Yuan’s stamp of approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie’s undying faith stoked the already radiant light in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhou Luo heard Lin Yuan’s opinion, he mentally started to prepare for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resolution in Lin Yuan’s eyes spurred Zhou Luo on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dim flame was but a small bright spot. It took seed in the corner of Zhou Luo’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer he observed the surroundings, the more Lin Yuan felt that stopping the Class 3 water world’s evolution was going to be challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way Lin Yuan saw it, the largest obstacle was locating the dimensional hub connected to the dimensional rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Ethereal Jellyfish had not been sucked into the dimensional rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie and Zhou Luo were not attuned to sensing spatial-type source lifeforms that could cause spatial fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they had to go back to basics and start combing the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie’s Insect Queen’s flying insects were the most suitable to conduct the search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother Liu, you take charge of the search. We have to find the dimensional hub’s location,” said Lin Yuan to Liu Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie started to pump spirit qi toward the Insect Queen, which had already transformed into an insect colony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Liu Jie injecting such a large amount of spirit qi into it, the Insect Queen’s valves inflated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous amount of liquified energy surged through the valves quickly. The high-intensity vibrations changed the liquefied energy into sticky insect protein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect protein was continuously produced and recirculated back into the Insect Queen’s body through the valves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vigorous vibrations caused the Insect Queen’s three-meter-tall insect colony to expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance of the colony proceeded to spit out almost 200 Hurricane Owlet Moths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan noticed that these 200 Hurricane Owlet Moths were different from the Hurricane Owlet Moths he saw the Insect Queen produce in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They no longer had as strong of a wind energy fluctuation around their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Hurricane Owlet Moths are probably the product of Liu Jie trying to conserve his and the Insect Queen’s spiritual power. He merely cloned a portion of the Hurricane Owlet Moth’s genetic model and created a different output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These new Hurricane Owlet Moths flew into the sky in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Liu Jie’s current position as the base, the Hurricane Owlet Moths could act as his eyes in the dimensional rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was necessary to conduct such surveillance in a foreign space like this. They needed to investigate the surroundings to ascertain where their possible enemies could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lin Yuan had set his mind on preventing the dimensional rift’s evolution, he was definitely going to encounter enemies at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, a preemptive strike to understand the enemy’s movements and the situation was the plan’s next step. This way, he could stay one step ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie looked toward Liu Jie and said, “Given the Class 3 dimensional rift’s region, the Hurricane Owlet Moths will need at least six hours to thoroughly scope out the area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan’s brows drew together tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the time, there was less than a day until the active period of the dimensional rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evolution of the dimensional rift would be completed in 12 hours, during which Lin Yuan would need to find a way to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had been sucked into the dimensional rift, it had been open but had not started to evolve yet. The evolution had only started after they were sucked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie’s Hurricane Owlet Moths needed six hours to finish the surveillance, meaning half of the time would be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, panicking was not going to solve any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan knew this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan made the rare decision to summon the Spirit-Drawing Ichthyosaur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time Blackie had been summoned, it was still a Spirit-Gather Goldfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan placed Blackie in front of himself and Liu Jie and released Spirit Injection twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Blackie had evolved into the Spirit-Drawing Ichthyosaur, Spirit Injection had also changed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Injection used to replenish the target’s spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it could also absorb the spirit qi from the air and direct it into the target’s body in the form of spiritual power within a window of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Lin Yuan did not think much of the change. It was because outside, the concentration of spirit qi in the air was too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, the improved ability had minimal effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the concentration of spirit qi in the Class 3 dimensional rift’s air was much higher than outside, greatly increasing the effectiveness of Spirit Injection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Spirit Injection’s original ability to replenish spiritual power was now less effective than if it absorbed and transformed the spirit qi in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie did not expect Lin Yuan to have nurtured a fey that could replenish spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest fear Liu Jie had while commandeering the Insect Queen in a fight was that his spiritual power would run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he was always thrifty and calculative when it came to using the spiritual power in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Blackie could replenish his spiritual power, Liu Jie could be more liberal in using his spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie immediately used his spiritual power again to order the Insect Queen to release 200 more Hurricane Owlet Moth clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were now double the number of Hurricane Owlet Moths in the sky, which allowed the surveillance efforts and search for the dimensional hub to be more efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jie’s tightly shut eyes would now open in less than three hours instead of six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Liu Jie’s eyes finally flew open... his expression was grim!\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-05-30T03:57:34.738Z","2026-06-01T04:30:14.553Z",1,"novelbin.me","bb592b8f0a60a0da2d33cf8d934140825cfa4751f7fee21fd01483ab179d54f6","fey-evolution-merchant-chapter-494","fey-evolution-merchant-chapter-492",3121,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffey-evolution-merchant-cover.jpg"]
