Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

"Although I've taken you away from the King Blood Jackals, there will be people guarding the safety of the entire territory."

Kani was shocked when she heard Lin Yuan's words. Only at that moment did Kani comprehend the formidable strength of Lin Yuan's other two subordinates!

For a moment, Kani did not know which species Lin Yuan was from.

Even the East Universe's bigshots from Honor Absent Palace were not comparable to Lin Yuan. He not only had several subordinates who were at least at the Holy Spirit level but also had an abundance of high-end resources.

Since Lin Yuan had already made arrangements, Kani only needed to make some internal arrangements for the King Blood Jackals. Then, she could proceed to absorb these spirit qi crystals.

Lin Yuan had been busy for more than half a month. Just as Lin Yuan was about to take a good rest, Wen Yu sent him a message through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

[Wen Yu]: Young Master, Listen, Endless Summer, and Gu Lang have been patrolling the King Blood Jackals' territory and discovered a massive thunder zone on the outskirts of the western territory. It was formed by rare thunderstorms persisting for a long time.

[Wen Yu]: The King Blood Jackals mentioned that previously, there were no lifeforms in this thunder zone, but now, some rare thunder elemental-type lifeforms have emerged.

[Wen Yu]: Behind this area is a canyon that connects to another territory controlled by the King Blood Jackals.

[Wen Yu]: We need to clear this area. Listen, and the others wanted me to inquire if there's any value in nurturing these thunder elemental-type lifeforms.

Elemental-type lifeforms had always been rare. If not for these rare entities, Wen Yu would not have needed to ask Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu's message, his initial thoughts were not about these thunder elemental-type lifeforms but rather the thunder zone that was born from the rare thunderstorms.

Gray excelled at absorbing all kinds of weather phenomena.

Thunderstorm weather was relatively rare in nature.

Unless Gray actively sought it out, it would be very difficult for it to absorb such weather from the environment.

Since this area was going to be cleared, Lin Yuan felt that he might as well bring Gray over to let Gray absorb the thunderstorm and strengthen its ability related to thunderstorms.

Lin Yuan prepared to bring Gray along on this trip to assess whether there was a need to cultivate these thunder elemental-type lifeforms.

In the King Blood Jackals' territory, Sky Sea revealing its presence wasn't a problem even without Gray covering it.

Doing this enabled the lifeforms in the territory to witness Sky City on Sky Sea's back and sense its majesty. At the same time, their sense of awe could also facilitate the creation of faith power.

…

Lin Yuan brought Gray to Wen Yu's designated location, and Sky Sea finally revealed its true form.

The entire castle of the King Blood Jackals was covered by Sky Sea's massive body.

Apart from the King Blood Jackals, the World Emperor/Higher Divine Kingdom experts had long since discovered Sky Sea's existence.

Under the integration of Gray, Dark Blue, and Sky Sea, ordinary Divine Kingdom experts would not be able to see Sky Sea's outline through the clouds.

…

Keira led the demon insects for the villages' migration, and the first batch had already arrived at the King Blood Jackals' territory. They began to establish roots at the designated locations.

Along the way, Bai Qinghuan gave a speech in various villages to inform them of the importance of this migration.

After this relocation, each village would not need to relocate again, and they would be protected by a large faction. There wouldn't be any concerns about hidden dangers.

During the migration, at least half of the demon insects that paved the way would be left in the villages to guard them in the future.

Some of these villages had previously been ruled by various species that exploited them, forcing the villages to offer their faith. They had previously been promised numerous incentives, and at this point, they had become immune to such promises.

The reason they believed Bai Qinghuan's words was that Lin Yuan had asked Keira to distribute the Soldier Ration Radish during the migration. Even in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the Soldier Ration Radish was still the best substitute for food.

It had been a long time since the lifeforms in the villages had experienced the feeling of being full. Since they could consistently experience the satisfaction of a full stomach in the future, the villagers were willing to work hard to offer their faith.

In the process of managing the villages, the lifeforms in these villages had undergone extensive training. Those who were disobedient and unwilling to contribute faith power had long been driven out of the village or killed.

Lin Yuan not only ensured that these villages could have enough to eat but also allowed them to build infrastructure in a location and lived in it.

In the hearts of the village members, Lin Yuan, the City Lord of Sky City, was like a savior.

There were also specialized individuals providing medical treatment for the lifeforms in those villages who were afflicted by serious illnesses.

Previously, the lifeforms in the villages were all under control, and they were obligated to reproduce mechanically to ensure that there were enough descendants to contribute faith power.

Now that the problem of food and shelter had been resolved, the lifeforms in the villages could undergo natural reproduction. The happiness in the villages was no longer limited to individuals but permeated throughout the villages.

Lin Yuan did not provide any help to the lifeforms in the villages when it came to building their infrastructure. Instead, he let them collect the materials themselves.

Even though there was a huge difference in the style of the houses in each village, Lin Yuan knew very well that the houses built by these lifeforms could give them a sense of belonging.

Lin Yuan brought a total of 2,000 Land Imps from the main world.

Lin Yuan created a paradise for these Land Imps at the side of the underground palace that he had just set up, which was an area in the sea of bone lotus flowers.

Land Imps reproduced very rapidly. Basically, a Land Imp couple could give birth to a small population of over 100 offspring in 10 years.

When the number of these Land Imps reached a certain scale, the houses built by the lifeforms in the villages would age with use.

By that time, Lin Yuan would be able to build standard infrastructure for each village by distributing benefits because, 10 years later, the lifeforms' sense of belonging in the villages would have nothing to do with those houses.

…

Soon, Lin Yuan brought Gray to the thunder zone.

Gray looked at the dense thunderclouds in the sky, and its excitement caused the thunderclouds around Lin Yuan to tremble.

"Gray, feel free to absorb these thunderstorms. These thunderclouds often gather here, either due to the presence of secret treasures here that can cause thunderclouds to form or because of the terrain of this area. Either way, it will provide you with a continuous source of thunderstorms for you to absorb," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Gu Lang and Endless Summer had already gone to other areas. Listen was waiting at the outskirts of the thunder zone with a team of more than 3,000 demon insects.

He was holding a few purple crystals, which were releasing electric arcs from time to time.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, Listen waved at him and quickly walked up to him. Meanwhile, the demon insects all prostrated themselves on the ground. This was the highest etiquette of the demon insects, and only Keira and Lin Yuan could be on the receiving end of it.

While Lin Yuan and Listen were talking, Gray used its cloud form to envelop the thunderclouds and quickly absorbed the thunder, causing thunderclouds to stop sending down thunderstorms.

Listen greeted Lin Yuan before handing the purple crystals to him. "Young Master, these thunder crystals are the core of the thunder lifeforms that inhabit this thunder zone. It's obvious that these thunder lifeforms have only appeared recently. The strongest thunder lifeforms I've seen are only comparable to a Gold fey.

"However, after my experiments and observations, I only need to provide some spirit qi to these thunder lifeforms, and they will immediately become stronger!

"Young Master, with just one spirit qi crystal you gave me, I elevated the strength of a thunder elemental-type lifeform, comparable to a Gold fey, to the level akin to a Diamond fey! In other words, nurturing these thunder elemental-type lifeforms only requires a very small amount of resources!"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Compared to before, Listen was more meticulous in his work, to the point that Lin Yuan did not even need to capture an elemental-type thunder lifeform that had hatched in the thunder zone for investigation. This allowed Lin Yuan to understand the advantages of these elemental-type lifeforms.

Listen was not a Creation Master and did not have abilities like True Data. Therefore, Listen's understanding of this thunder elemental-type lifeform was too superficial.

Lin Yuan only needed to find a thunder elemental-type lifeform and use Morbius' True Data to investigate it to find out about its specific abilities and strengths.

At that moment, Listen added, "Young Master, these thunder elemental-type lifeforms are not without flaws. Their intelligence is extremely low, and they are too violent. Once they are controlled, they will instinctively struggle. Ultimately, this will lead to energy depletion, leaving only their elemental core behind."

Lin Yuan had heard the Moon Empress mention it before.

Most of the elemental-type lifeforms were related to the inherent characteristics of the elements themselves. It was not difficult to understand why thunder elemental-type lifeforms had such violent traits. However, under normal circumstances, their traits could be restrained as their intelligence increased.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and summoned the Perfect Touch Wisteria.

"Green Vine, help me catch a few thunder elemental-type lifeforms in this thunder zone. If you discover a few different forms of existence, remember to help me bring them over."

Green Vine entered the thunder zone in a flash.

Green Vine was a little unhappy that Lin Yuan had kept it in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. It was much livelier than Sky Sea and Gray.

However, Green Vine knew very well that Lin Yuan wanted it to stay in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to absorb spirit qi crystals.

Green Vine used its vines to absorb those precious high-grade spiritual ingredients. Ever since it could replace the spiritual ingredients that had fused with the vines, Lin Yuan had helped it equip all eight vines.

It wasn't easy for Lin Yuan to let it out, so Green Vine naturally had to complete the mission that Lin Yuan had given it.

The thunder zone was not large, and Green Vine gave it a thorough search. Yet, it only brought out one thunder lifeform that looked like a leopard.

Lin Yuan silently thought that there seemed to be only one type of thunder lifeform in this thunder zone.

While Green Vine entered the thunder zone to capture the thunder lifeform, Lin Yuan was communicating with Listen.

As soon as Listen mentioned the leopard-like thunder lifeform, Lin Yuan could sense that this beautiful thunder lifeform was only Gold grade.

Lin Yuan used Morbius' True Data to investigate this leopard-like thunder lifeform.

[Fey Name]: Thunder-Descending Shadow (Leopard Form)

[Fey Species]: Elemental-species/elemental-genus

[Fey Grade]: Gold (6/10)

[Fey Type]: Thunder

[Fey Quality]: Epic

Abilities:

[Thunder Light]: Activates the thunder energy in one's body, transforming oneself into a glowing object that connects to the clouds in the sky and emits the same amount of light along with the clouds.

[Thunder Roar]: Rapidly rotates and rubs the thunder energy within oneself, producing a violent roar to stimulate the eardrums. In the presence of condensing clouds, the clouds will also emit a roar of an equivalent degree.

[Thunder Transformation]: Allows one's body to absorb the aura of other lifeforms in the environment, enabling it to simulate the appearance of other lifeforms.

[Thunder Appearance]: Fills the surroundings with thunder energy. Wherever the thunder energy goes, it has a concealment effect. When the thunder energy touches the target, it can detect the target's location before the thunder energy dissipates.

Exclusive Skill:

[Thunder Marking]: Creates a mark on the target using thunder energy. Subsequently, one's damage-type abilities will not affect the target with the mark.

Lin Yuan learned the specific name of this thunder elemental-type lifeform. It was called the Thunder-Descending Shadow, and the reason for its appearance was Thunder Transformation.

The thunder zone was filled with violent thunder energy, making it difficult for flesh lifeforms to survive.

Moreover, all the Thunder-Descending Shadows in the entire thunder zone area existed in the form of leopards. This indicated that there was something in the thunder zone that provided this leopard-type aura.

Lin Yuan estimated that this thing most likely existed below the thunder zone. It might even be related to the existence of the thunder zone.

However, considering the Thunder-Descending Shadow's abilities and exclusive skills, Lin Yuan felt that it needed to be nurtured in large quantities to deploy it in multiple villages.

For example, Thunder Light was like an enhanced version of a flare.

Not only could the Thunder-Descending Shadow raise itself into the sky as a glowing object, but it could also attract clouds and make them emit light like him.

Once the Thunder-Descending Shadow used Thunder Light in the village, it would be enough to draw the Protector's attention to the village and resolve the problems in the village.

If Thunder Light could be used to communicate with the outside world, then Thunder Roar was akin to sounding an air defense siren to alert the lifeforms in the village.
