This was why the Indigo Azure Guards and Guild Alliance’s experts’ standard feys never evolved past Fantasy Breed.
It was just like the emergency helper with the Plum Rain Wall Clam that had intervened in the fight between Lin Yuan and Meng Xu.
If Zhang Xiaobai and the rest had comprehended different Willpower Runes, Lin Yuan could evolve the feys that would be best suited to their Willpower Runes.
However, now that their Willpower Runes were so similar, Lin Yuan felt that these Willpower Runes that had been comprehended in a particular mental state should not be wasted.
Zhang Xiaobai and the rest probably did not realize the significance of them comprehending such similar Willpower Runes, but Lin Yuan and Master Hong Shen, who were Creation Masters, were well aware.
Lin Yuan looked at Master Hong Shen and asked, “Master Hong Shen, what fey do you think is suited to the Willpower Runes that they’ve comprehended?”
Master Hong Shen immediately understood what Lin Yuan meant.
It could be said that Master Hong Shen had watched Zhang Xiaobai and the rest grow up, so he had a complete understanding of their feys and feys’ compatibility.
Zhang Xiaobai had contracted the Gale Mussel and Bloody Leech.
The Gale Mussel was a normal source-type lifeform that leaned toward defense, making Zhang Xiaobai’s inclination to be toward defense-type insect-species feys.
All of Lu Pinru’s feys were the Glowing Silkworm Weaver. Hence, she was compatible with support-type insect-species feys.
Xin Ying was compatible with power offense-type cat-species feys, while Tan Ran was partial to power offense-type hippopotamus-species feys.
Out of the four of them, only Zhang Xiaobai and Lu Pinru’s fey compatibility were similar since both were compatible with insect-species feys
However, their insect-species feys had two totally different directions where one was support-type, and the other was defense-type.
According to Lin Yuan’s plan, he did not have any fey that could satisfy all four of them.
Thus, he could not choose feys.
As such, Master Hong Shen placed his sights on source-type lifeforms.
Master Hong Shen said to Lin Yuan, “Young Master, I’m sure that we won’t be able to find any feys that are suited to all four of them. Although there might be some lifestyle-class feys that they could all form contracts with, lifestyle-class feys don’t have much combat power once they evolve to Fantasy Breed. I think that we should choose from source-type lifeforms.”
Lin Yuan nodded in agreement. He did not expect his thinking to coincide with that of Master Hong Shen.
When Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up at the thought of a type of source-type lifeform, he heard Master Hong Shen say, “There’s a type of source-type lifeform known as Source Seeds. I discovered three in a previous dimensional rift. Unfortunately, they were too weak, and I’ve never heard of them being discovered in any other dimensional rifts.”
Lin Yuan was shocked by Master Hong Shen’s lamenting. He did not understand why Master Hong Shen would talk about Source Seeds in this manner all of a sudden.
However, Lin Yuan felt that disparaging Source Seeds was like disparaging Red Thorn because Red Thorn had evolved from a Source Seed.
Red Thorn’s situation was the production of Source Seeds’ potential and Lin Yuan’s decision-making.
He did not think that Red Thorn was weak. Rather, he felt that Red Thorn was unbelievably strong!
The Silver/Fantasy Red Thorn could securely defend against a Class 1 dimensional rift on its own. Even if more Class 1 dimensional rifts opened and dimensional lifeforms spewed out, they would all be nothing but fertilizer for Red Thorn.
Besides Red Thorn, Lin Yuan had never heard of any other Silver/Fantasy fey in Radiance Federation that could deal with a sea of insects from a dimensional rift on its own.
No matter how strong other Silver/Fantasy feys were, they would eventually be overwhelmed by the continuous insect waves.
Moreover, the gill-shaped flower petals that mutated from Red Thorn could handle not just land combat now. It could now also take on oceanic combat.
Along with the enduring power from Red Thorn’s Eyes of Relinquish and the Spore Growth that could expand tools, Red Thorn could quickly expand its position and sustain the battle for longer.
How could a lifeform like this be considered weak?
However, Lin Yuan would not take the initiative to say that Red Thorn had been evolved from a Source Seed.
Ever since Lin Yuan had come into possession of a mountain of resources, he had intentionally announced on Star Web’s Rare Lifeform Pavilion that he wanted to buy Source Seeds.
Lin Yuan had offered a very high price which would have been more than enough to trade for a fairy source-type lifeform.
Unfortunately, no one had contacted Lin Yuan about it.
This proved that Source Seeds never appeared in the dimensional rift again. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would want to buy and nurture more Source Seeds.
Although Lin Yuan did not know why Master Hong Shen would suddenly call Source Seeds weak, he felt slightly affronted on behalf of Red Thorn.
“If Source Seeds are contracted and nurtured, they can be very strong. After all, there are no weak source-type lifeforms.”
Master Hong Shen touched his beard when he heard what Lin Yuan said.
This was when he remembered that he had trimmed his beard under Wen Yu’s recommendation.
“Young Master, you might be unaware, but I had sought after Source Seeds when I learned that they could grow according to one’s wishes. But after I burned a large hole in my pocket to buy one, I heard that a normal person had managed to nurture one into a vine plant that could carry heavy items.
“Even the most normal source-type lifeforms should be able to do more than carry heavy things after evolving, right?
“If I need something to carry heavy loads, I have buckets of assistants. I don’t need to nurture a source-type lifeform to do it for me. Thus, I temporarily stored the Source Seed away.
“Later on, I heard that a Scholar had researched the vine plant and said that Source Seeds’ evolution ability was not strong. Hence, I gave up on nurturing Source Seeds and tossed the Source Seed into a fey storage box.
“If I hadn’t just been thinking of what source-type lifeforms could be similar, I wouldn’t have thought of trash like Source Seeds.”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he furrowed his brow and hastily asked Master Hong Shen, “Are you still able to find the Source Seed that you bought?”
Master Hong Shen rummaged through the fey storage box.
After some time, a green seed with gray flecks appeared in Master Hong Shen’s hand.
Master Hong Shen quickly wiped the gray flecks of dust off the Source Seed in embarrassment.
