Chapter 94

Jiang Li only just pulled himself out of his emotions.

He picked up the equipment and items Augus had left behind, one by one.

A Gold-grade Wind of Nature, a Gold-grade Bone Dragon Battle Armor, and nine Silver-grade Leaves of Life.

Of course.

Most importantly.

There was also that Life-Return Pendant meant for Augus's daughter.

"Erin Augus."

Jiang Li tightened his grip on the pendant.

Recalling Erin Augus's name in his heart, a sudden firmness welled up within him.

"I took your things."

"Then I'll do everything in my power to help you finish it!"

Jiang Li put the pendant into his backpack.

He crouched down, wanting to tidy up Augus's final lich remains.

But the moment he picked up one of the bones, he noticed something beneath them.

"What… is this?"

Jiang Li's heart gave a start.

He picked up the thing buried beneath the bones… and found it was a tiny seed.

It looked pitch-black and utterly unremarkable.

If he'd spotted it in passing, Jiang Li might well have missed it entirely.

"Inspect."

Jiang Li instinctively activated his Detection Spell and obtained the seed's information.

…

【Item: Seed of Life】

【Quality: None】

【Description: The Seed of Life left behind after Augus's death. But during the several hundred years he spent degenerating into a lich, his Seed of Life was long since eroded by the power of death. Even with the nurturing of the Elven Mother Tree, it is virtually impossible for it to sprout and bear fruit again — unless…】

…

"So this is the legendary Seed of Life?"

Jiang Li's face showed surprise.

For the Blue Star World and the humans of Blue Star.

The elves were likewise an otherworldly race that had descended from beyond the heavens.

However, unlike certain other races, the elves revered nature, disliked killing and invasion, and although their relations with humanity could hardly be called good, there was no real conflict between them either.

Therefore.

The humans of Blue Star actually knew quite a bit about the elves.

Among that knowledge was the elves' manner of reproduction.

The entire elven race was born from their Elven Mother Tree.

And after death.

They would likewise transform into a Seed of Life.

If it could receive the renewed nurturing of the Elven Mother Tree, there would be a chance of rebirth.

Such an ability to resurrect.

Jiang Li hadn't expected it either.

That he would one day actually get to see a Seed of Life with his own eyes.

But the pity was…

"Augus's Seed of Life was eroded by the power of death, huh…" Jiang Li felt a touch of regret.

But as for that final part of the description.

He couldn't help but feel a twitch at his brow:

"What's the deal with this Detection Spell? Says only half of what it means, and now it's playing riddler on top of that?"

After a few grumbles.

Jiang Li looked at the prompt before him.

"Another level-up."

Jiang Li clicked to level up without hesitation.

…

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, you have reached: Lv. 8!】

【It has been detected that your aptitude star rating is 1+5=6 stars, so you have obtained: 6×6=36 free attribute points!】

…

Following his usual stat-allocation plan.

Jiang Li swiftly finished distributing his attribute points.

And without the Bone Dragon Battle Armor equipped, his stats now looked like this…
