Chapter 130: Sprouting Sprout
【Life Essence Advancement】
【Life Lineage (Life Seed) -> (Sprouting Sprout)】
The next morning, as Lin Sai opened his eyes, he immediately felt that the Life Essence within him was completely different from when he had fallen asleep the night before.
"Huh?"
He opened his attribute panel in a daze.
To his surprise, he found that the Life Essence had already advanced, as described.
"So..."
"Is it because I ate too happily yesterday?"
Feeling perplexed, Lin Sai got out of bed and clenched his fist.
Each advancement of the Essence brings a different effect to the Awakened. This time, Lin Sai's enhancement was exactly as the name suggested: from Life Seed to Sprouting Sprout.
The second stage of Life Essence granted him tremendous burst power.
If Lin Sai was willing to expend a large amount of Essence, he could surpass his physical limits within a minute, increasing all his physical attributes by about 30%.
Moreover, this burst would not cause any harm to his body.
All it required was the expenditure of Essence.
Bang! Lin Sai suddenly punched the air, and despite not hitting any solid object, the sheer force and speed created a loud blast.
"There's no sense of discomfort at all..."
Lin Sai examined his fist.
Typically, a sudden increase in ability would make one feel unaccustomed, but this burst of Life Essence also enhanced Lin Sai's control over his body, eliminating any such issues.
"It advanced so easily?"
Lin Sai still felt it was a bit surreal.
When learning combat techniques from Andre, he had gained knowledge about this aspect. Advancing the Essence was always a challenging task, even more so than the sublimation of skills.
Taking Life Essence as an example:
The first stage merely required a healthy and disciplined lifestyle, but in the second stage, satisfying physiological desires was genuinely challenging.
Based on a person's daily life, eating and drinking to satisfaction, a comfortable sleep, and union with a loved one—these fulfill physiological desires but only satisfy human physiological desires.
To push this fulfillment beyond the limits of one's senses and advance the Life Essence requires more than just casually practicing.
There were those who attempted to fast to the brink of death and then suddenly feast, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in Life Essence.
However, this sudden feeling of fullness was mostly ineffective.
Many more Awakened of Life Essence found that it was only when they truly united with their loved ones that they could, amidst the dual satisfaction of heart and body, meet the conditions for advancement.
This was generally the consensus among people.
But who would have thought that in Lin Sai's case, it was a perfect-level feast that led to his breakthrough!
"Perhaps those who choose cooking as their skill also have this factor influencing them?"
As Lin Sai contemplated this, he had already changed into his clothes.
He carefully sensed the changes in his Essence, and a deep-seated yearning gradually emerged.
This yearning was the requirement to advance to the next stage of Life Essence.
—Absorbing external Essence and incorporating it into oneself.
Just like the transformation from Life Seed to Sprouting Sprout.
The following process is naturally the growth of life, and growth requires nourishment.
The nourishment needed for the development and growth of Life Essence is also Essence itself.
There are two primary ways to obtain this 'nutrition'.
First, there is the Essence Tide, a phenomenon that occurs every ten years.
The Lord Andre, who had successfully absorbed abundant power during two Essence Tides, but it was still insufficient for advancement.
According to the experience of this pioneer, relying solely on the Essence Tide that occurs once every ten years, it would likely take three to four occurrences to complete the advancement.
"Thirty to forty years..."
Lin Sai shook his head; he certainly didn't want to accept such a long time for a breakthrough.
So, the focus was on the second category—special items born from Essence interference.
Hunter Dan had once told Lin Sai that the vast majority of Awakened individuals could not strengthen themselves by consuming the flesh and blood of other Awakened or Beastfolk. However, there were a few precious items that could be absorbed and utilized. Other types of Essence Awakened could use these items to enhance themselves, and for Life Essence Awakened, they were the best way to speed up their breakthrough!
"But in the Hidden Frontier, it seems there are no such items."
"Otherwise, Uncle Andre would have already broken through."
Lin Sai organized his thoughts, stepped out of the house, and headed west towards the town. The artist Agnes lived in that direction.
When Lin Sai arrived, he immediately recognized her residence among all the wooden houses.
It was a tranquil little cottage, with an outer wall painted in faded blue lime, simple and full of the marks of time. The roof was covered with a layer of hay, giving it an ancient and poetic feel.
Around the wooden house was a spacious lawn, enclosed by a fence and transformed into an estate by Agnes. With Lin Sai's knowledge of botany, he could identify many different plant species, as colorful as a painter's palette. However, it was winter, so he couldn't see the charming scene that usually adorned the place.
Between the wooden house and the garden was a spacious balcony, with a wooden table and two chairs.
Even in the cold winter, the now forty-something Agnes still sat there, brewing a small pot of tea and enjoying the morning winter sun with a smile on her face.
"Ms. Agnes?"
Lin Sai called out from behind the fence.
The forty-something artist, upon seeing Lin Sai, immediately got up and came to the gate to open it.
"Lin Sai, good morning."
Agnes smiled at Lin Sai.
The forty-something artist wore a simple white dress, with naturally curly brown hair falling over her shoulders. Occasionally, a hand-woven headband could be seen, exuding a sense of tranquility and freedom.
"Some small gifts."
Lin Sai accepted the invitation and placed the gifts he had prepared the day before on the table.
"Oh? It seems you have something to ask of me."
Agnes didn't beat around the bush with Lin Sai. She immediately tried the food, her face lighting up with surprise and satisfaction. She even felt that her strength had increased under the influence of the food!
Lin Sai watched her closely.
When the fine lines around the lady's eyes even curled slightly, he finally spoke up about his intentions:
"Ms. Agnes, I would like to learn some Instrument playing techniques from you you.
items.
and."
"
Lin Sai, entering the house, He placed the gifts he had prepared on the table.
"Oh? It seems you have a request."
Agnes didn't mince with Lin sai. She immediately tried the food, her face lighting up with surprise and satisfaction. She even felt that her strength had increased under the influence of the food!
Lin Sai watched her closely.
When the fine lines around the lady's eyes even curled slightly, he finally spoke up about his intentions:
"Ms. Agnes, I would like to learn some instrument playing techniques from you."
"I also wonder if you have any high-grade gemstone powder?"
Agnes's expression was still happy when she heard Lin Sai wanted to learn instrument playing, but her expression and tone became subtle when she heard his second request:
"High-grade gemstone powder? What do you need it for?"
