Chapter 187: The Life Essence Orb
Chapter 187: The Life Essence Orb
Although he didn't know how to resolve this matter, Li Qian had a good impression of Sun Ruirui and didn't want this charming and adorable girl to meet the fate described by Sun Hongyi.
So, he asked directly, "How can we solve Ruirui's problem, or is there even a solution?"
Sun Hongyi felt Li Qian's concern and glanced at him.
After a moment of silence, he revealed the solution, "The best solution actually lies with the Golden Pearl Bud."
"?" Li Qian looked at Old Sun, a little confused.
Sun Hongyi didn't keep him waiting and quickly explained, "Regarding Ruirui's situation, I've made some preparations over the years."
"I have two of the best life elixirs in the Federation, but this thing can only be injected once at most."
"There are also some extraordinary materials from the dimensional plane, and with these preparations, even if the seal is temporarily lifted, it can still barely sustain the life force deficiency."
At this point, his eyes suddenly emitted a gleam of essence, "To thoroughly solve this problem, we must take this opportunity to have Ruirui contract a Golden Pearl Bud and promote its evolution into a Tide Sea Spirit."
"Through the feedback from evolution, we can significantly enhance Ruirui's physical qualities and life force deficiency."
Li Qian furrowed his brows, "Life-based companion beasts are indeed rare, and those that can evolve to the Imperial Rank are even rarer, but with your abilities, Professor Sun, you should be able to find other alternatives, right?"
At this moment, he understood why Old Sun had placed his hopes on the Golden Pearl Bud.
However, as he had said, while these companion beasts were rare, it wasn't impossible to find alternatives.
The next moment, Sun Hongyi answered his doubts, "Other life-based companion beasts of the same level would require me to pay a higher price, but they can still be found."
"However, first, it's extremely challenging to complete the evolution in a short time, and second, the feedback on physical qualities from evolution is not as effective as the Golden Pearl Bud, which she wears is a key factor. It is a life-based companion beast, and its evolution into a Tide Sea Spirit is crucial."
"The real reason why the Golden Pearl Bud becomes irreplaceable is its evolutionary relic."
"Evolutionary relic?" Li Qian whispered the term.
After a brief moment of thought, his mind recalled some information.
He had heard about this "evolutionary relic," and some books had described it as well.
The so-called "evolutionary relic" refers to the objects left behind after a companion beast evolves and its body structure changes.
For example, some turtle-like companion beasts with dragon bloodlines might leave behind a turtle shell after evolving, or some plant-based companion beasts might leave behind flowers, fruits, or seeds after their evolution...
These "evolutionary relics" are often precious extraordinary resources, and in the following narrative, Sun Hongyi fully illustrated this point.
"The evolutionary relic of the Golden Pearl Bud is the golden pearl within its body. After the evolution is complete, the golden pearl will transform into a Life Essence Orb, possessing an extremely mysterious power."
Sun Hongyi glanced in the direction of the Little Cove, "Even for the Tide Sea Spirit, the Life Essence Orb is extremely important."
"If the Life Essence Orb is lost, the Tide Sea Spirit's combat power will be severely weakened instantly, and reverting to a Golden Pearl Bud is not impossible."
As Li Qian's gaze met Sun Hongyi's again, the latter suddenly raised his voice slightly, "The Life Essence Orb is crucial for the Tide Sea Spirit, and it must not be lost. Moreover, even if an ordinary beast tamer obtains the Life Essence Orb, they won't be able to use it."
Li Qian nodded again.
He could understand this.
In the entire beast taming world, not just on the ancestral planet but also in the dimensional plane and the outer battlefield, extraordinary resources are as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River.
Among them, most are not suitable for use, like the Golden Pearl Bud, which might be an extraordinary resource for companion beasts but a deadly poison for humans.
As Li Qian listened attentively, Sun Hongyi continued, "However, the Life Essence Orb, or the Tide Sea Spirit, has a unique ability to share its Life Essence Orb with others, granting them the Tide Sea Spirit's life force for a short time, but this sharing comes with conditions..."
"It can only be shared with beast tamers who have established a soul contract with it!" Sun Hongyi said, and Li Qian instantly understood. Without waiting for Sun Hongyi to continue, he blurted out the answer.
"Exactly!" Sun Hongyi nodded with a complex expression.
Indeed, there was a solution, and it was very reliable. However, the crux of the matter was that they had to complete the evolution research and allow the Golden Pearl Bud to evolve into a Tide Sea Spirit.
"We must complete the evolution research from the Golden Pearl Bud to the Tide Sea Spirit as soon as possible." After listening to Sun Hongyi's statement, Li Qian understood the key point.
According to the current situation, whether they could solve the problem on Sun Ruirui's body depended on whether they could complete the evolution research from the Golden Pearl Bud to the Tide Sea Spirit.
From the current situation, the seal seemed to have already been broken.
In the afternoon, Sun Hongyi, the professor from Zhonghai Beast Taming University, left the Red Bridge Manor after giving Li Qian a tour.
"What if Professor Sun isn't in the manor, and you encounter the situation from last night again?" Li Qian asked after Sun Hongyi's departure.
"Nothing will happen. Normally, even if my consciousness is affected, I won't leave the manor." Sun Ruirui smiled faintly.
"Moreover, Ah Hai is in the manor, and with it here, I can't leave the Red Bridge Manor."
Li Qian instantly understood.
Indeed, with the presence of Ah Hai, the Imperial Rank Tide Sea Spirit, Sun Ruirui couldn't leave the Red Bridge Manor.
"Besides Ah Hai, there's also Uncle Liao," Li Qian thought that "Uncle Liao" should be the manor's butler or bodyguard.
After lunch, Li Qian met "Uncle Liao," who seemed to be around the same age as Sun Hongyi.
As expected, "Uncle Liao" was indeed the butler of the Red Bridge Manor, managing all the manor's affairs.
He approached Li Qian and greeted him politely.
After a brief exchange of greetings and a short conversation with Sun Ruirui, Uncle Liao left.
