Chapter 71: Mutation of the Fairy Egg

This page is an illustrated introduction, depicting a Blood-Colored Crystal. Although the drawing is not clear, its shape, color, and characteristics are identical to Li Zhangsheng's Blood-Colored Crystal.

In the text alongside it, the name and efficacy of this item are listed!

"Bloodline Essence!" Looking at the content on the page, Li Zhangsheng's eyes brightened, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

Bloodline Essence: Formed by the condensation of Divine Beast Essence Blood, it can activate the hidden bloodline of a Fairy Egg. If the life within the Fairy Egg has already activated a bloodline, it will activate a second hidden bloodline! Note: Do not use on anything other than a Fairy Egg, otherwise it will explode and die! Additionally, during the process of activating the bloodline, the Fairy Egg will absorb a large amount of energy of the same attribute; please make thorough preparations!

The efficacy of Bloodline Essence is extremely significant, and its value goes without saying. Compared to a Fairy that has not activated its bloodline, a Fairy with an activated bloodline has a better physique, possesses more powerful base stats, and may even obtain some bloodline inheritance, such as gaining a certain ability from the bloodline inheritance.

However, for ordinary Monster Tamers, Bloodline Essence is considered a "chicken rib" (tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard), because they cannot know the quality of a Fairy Egg and can only look for Fairy Eggs of high-ranking species to absorb the Bloodline Essence. As for the quality of the hatched Fairy, that is unknown; even if the bloodline is activated, the hatched Fairy is very likely to only be of Low Grade quality.

But Li Zhangsheng is different; he possesses a special ability that allows him to discern the approximate quality of a Fairy Egg, especially since he has a Fairy Egg in his hands that can hatch at least a Superior Fairy.

Superior Fairies are naturally extraordinary and have a significant possibility of having activated their bloodline in advance. If they absorb Bloodline Essence, Li Zhangsheng will have the opportunity to obtain a dual-bloodline Fairy.

Of course, bloodlines also have levels of superiority and inferiority. The best is naturally the Divine Beast Bloodline, followed by the Exotic Beast. Whether it is a Divine Beast or an Exotic Beast, there are also differences in quality; for example, the most powerful top-tier Exotic Beasts are not inferior to Divine Beasts in combat power at the same level. The reason they are not Divine Beasts is mainly due to some deficiencies in certain aspects.

Li Zhangsheng possesses a high-quality Fairy Egg and can fully utilize the Bloodline Essence to help the Fairy Egg further transform, which can be considered a disguised improvement of the Fairy's potential.

"To others, it's like a chicken rib, but to me, it's a good thing! However, information on Bloodline Essence is so hard to find; it's no wonder the family left it to gather dust in the Treasure Pavilion!" Li Zhangsheng thought that even the *Encyclopedia of Fairy Items* did not have information on Bloodline Essence, which shows its rarity. Even he himself only thought to look for books related to Fairy Eggs because of the abnormality of his own Fairy Egg, so it is no wonder the family did not find information about it!

This trip to the Treasure Pavilion undoubtedly allowed Li Zhangsheng to take a huge advantage, and he will likely wake up laughing in his dreams from now on.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng also felt a lingering fear. If he had crudely let the Fairy Egg absorb the Bloodline Essence at that time, and if it had not absorbed a large amount of energy of the same attribute during the bloodline activation process, the consequences would likely have been quite serious, and the life inside the Fairy Egg would very likely have died prematurely.

After putting down the book, Li Zhangsheng placed the Fairy Egg on the bed. The surface of this Fairy Egg was pale cyan, with some slender, snow-white patterns on it; he did not know what kind of Fairy would hatch from it.

Taking a deep breath, Li Zhangsheng picked up the Bloodline Essence and, according to the description in the book, brought it into contact with the Fairy Egg.

In an instant, the Bloodline Essence began to slowly dissolve, turning into streams of pure blood-colored radiance. These radiances seemed to possess spirituality, automatically enveloping the Fairy Egg.

While the Bloodline Essence was taking effect, in the small courtyard outside the room, Li Haoqiong, who had been fishing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze immediately turning toward Li Zhangsheng's room.

"My nephew really doesn't let one worry!" After sensing it for a moment, Li Haoqiong shook his head. He made no extra movements, nor did he have any intention of helping to cover it up.

Unlike the birth of a Nature Spirit, the reason Li Haoqiong could detect it this time was mainly related to the close proximity. If it were any further away, even with his strength, he would not have been able to detect it.

In the room, while the Bloodline Essence was taking effect, Li Zhangsheng hurriedly opened a small bag and poured everything inside out.

For a moment, colorful Monster Cores fell onto the bed. Most of these were Lower-rank Monster Cores, numbering in the hundreds.

During this period, the Nature Spirit and the Paradise Bird had made great contributions, condensing a large amount of Healing Spring and Sacred Water. Even after deducting Li Jianren's sales commission, it still left Li Zhangsheng well-off, especially since these Monster Cores were only part of the earnings; there were also more than ten Low-grade Soul Crystals.

Without a doubt, this was an extremely stable source of wealth.

According to the description of the Bloodline Essence, the Fairy Egg would absorb a large amount of energy of the same attribute during the process of activating the bloodline.

Because he did not know the specific attribute of the Fairy Egg, Li Zhangsheng could only use the most foolish method: testing the Monster Cores of different attributes one by one.

"Ice attribute energy! In other words, this Fairy Egg is activating an Ice-type bloodline!" Soon, seeing an Ice-type Demon Core begin to glow and shine, Li Zhangsheng reached a conclusion.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng separated all the Ice-type Demon Cores at the fastest speed and placed them all against the Fairy Egg. With the Fairy Egg as the core, a mysterious suction force began to draw the Ice-type energy within the Demon Cores. For a time, the Fairy Egg was shrouded in a misty energy fog.

At the same time, the temperature in the room was dropping rapidly. Li Zhangsheng felt goosebumps all over his body and hurriedly released a Mental Barrier, which made him feel much better.

Clatter—

In just a few breaths, a Lower-rank Ice-type Demon Core exhausted its energy, causing it to shatter instantly.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhangsheng immediately became nervous, fearing that the Ice-type Demon Cores would not be enough.

"It's a good thing Second Uncle is right outside. If it's not enough, I'll just 'borrow' some Ice-type Demon Cores from him!" Li Zhangsheng was cautious. Before using the Bloodline Essence, he had specifically checked his Second Uncle's location. Seeing that Li Haoqiong was fishing outside, he felt relieved to use the Bloodline Essence.

A debtor doesn't worry about the number of debts; since he already owed his Second Uncle a mountain of debt, one more wouldn't matter. He would pay it back when he was better off in the future.

It was also at this time that the Fairy Egg began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the snow-white patterns on it were slowly expanding, wanting to occupy more space.

Under Li Zhangsheng's gaze, the snow-white patterns continued to spread, occupying more space.

Li Zhangsheng's worries did not materialize. The whole process only lasted five minutes. The Fairy Egg seemed to be full and stopped absorbing Ice-type energy, which meant that the Fairy Egg had completed the process of activating its bloodline.

As a price, Li Zhangsheng's bed was full of Monster Core Fragments, but there were also many Ice-type Demon Cores that had not yet exhausted their energy.

Compared to before the transformation, the volume of the Fairy Egg was significantly larger. It was originally the size of a human head, but now it was larger than a water bucket, as if it were gestating a big guy.

Besides that, the Fairy Egg was covered in two colors, white and cyan. Surprisingly, these two colors each occupied half of the space.

"A dual-bloodline Fairy?" Seeing the two colors of the Fairy Egg, Li Zhangsheng's heart was full of anticipation. This meant that this Fairy Egg had a significant possibility of hatching a dual-bloodline Fairy.

Unfortunately, according to the description in the book, using Bloodline Essence to activate a Fairy's bloodline inevitably causes the Fairy Egg to enter a dormant period, and it will not hatch until it has completely digested the activated bloodline and Ice-type energy.

The Fairy Egg using Bloodline Essence to transform is a gradual process. After all, the life inside the Fairy Egg is extremely fragile and can only complete the transformation through subtle influence.

Simply put, it will just hatch a bit later.

Yesterday, the recommendation votes exceeded one hundred for the first time, so I sincerely thank all the readers for their recommendation votes.
