Legendary Seed

"..."

Ya Li Kun's body collapsed in front of Linsey and he soon stopped breathing.

This wealthy merchant, whose skills reached the Sixth Stage, was not only a powerful figure who dominated a region during his lifetime, but also an absolute powerhouse.

But at this moment, he was still just a cold corpse.

"Call--"

Linsey let out a sigh of relief.

He inexplicably thought of the Dragon Beast on Black Mountain.

No matter how glorious one's life may be, death always brings the same end.

Even though the Revivalist are not considered living people in a life-affirming sense, they also have a huge problem of being hostile to the living.

But returning to the world with memories of the past...

When it comes to themselves, how many people could resist such temptation?

With this thought in mind, Linsey activated her skill, bent down, and successfully collected materials from the merchant's corpse.

[Consumable: Source Material Core (Essence Extraction)]

[After use, awakened individuals within a 50-meter radius will be unable to properly control their Essence; duration is 15 minutes; this ability is ineffective against awakened individuals at Sixth Stage or higher.]

[A very rare condensed entity of Essence, of high value.]

"..."

As always, Linsey placed the item on the Workbench.

A formula emerged, which included the name of a rather familiar item.

[Source Material Emblem + Source Material Core (Essence Extraction) = Source Material Circuit (Abstract Replacement)]

"Source Material Emblem..."

Linsey murmured to herself.

He obtained a [Source Material Seed] when he killed the previous Fifth Stage Awakener.

The [Source Material Seed], when used alone, increases the probability of an ordinary person becoming an Awakened. Using the three-in-one formula, you can obtain a [Source Material Emblem].

"You haven't even gathered all the materials for crafting the emblem, but you've already gotten your hands on the materials required for the higher-level crafting?"

"..."

"Linsey, are you alright?"

As Linsey, Green Fir arrived.

She grabbed the merchant's necklace that was floating in the air, suppressed the Essence interference caused by Ya Li Kun, and then began to examine Linsey's body.

"The body is uninjured, and there are no issues with vital signs. Left hand..."

"Left hand?! Linsey, what happened to the power in your left hand?!"

Green Fir's expression froze, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

She certainly remembered the eighth-tier power that had just descended. Now that the skill erosion on Linsey's arm had suddenly disappeared, Green Fir couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

"The power that just descended belonged to the will of the forest itself."

"Because of some historical issues, it helped me get rid of the hidden danger in my arm, and it has now left."

Linsey immediately offered an explanation.

Seeing Green Fir's reaction, Linsey was actually very grateful.

The Forest's Will is undoubtedly an existence at the Eighth Stage.

After the other party appears, you immediately disappear.

If a normal person observed this change, their logical thinking would generally lead them to believe that Linsey had been attacked.

But they faced immense pressure from the hostility of the Eighth Stage.

Green Fir rushed in without hesitation, ready to lend a helping hand.

Even if this favor has no effect, it is still quite substantial and deserves the strong guidance of an elder.

There are opportunities in the future.

He must go to Volcano City to repay the kindness shown to him.

at the same time.

Upon hearing Linsey's answer, Green Fir's gaze shifted to the weapon in Linsey's hand:

"Was this weapon also bestowed upon you by the Forest's Will?"

It was an ordinary-looking wooden spear.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have known that Linsey just used that thing to pierce through Ya Li Kun's defenses.

Green Fir simply couldn't believe that this was actually a powerful weapon!

Linsey nodded slightly:

"More or less."

This wooden spear was indeed something he had just acquired.

But it did not develop from the seed left behind by the Forest Will.

It is one of the three legendary plant seeds that Linsey obtained after Task Completed "Hand, my hand, my left hand!"

[Miraculous Seed /Material: Eternal Night Iris]

[Once the Eternal Night Iris blooms, it will forcibly transform the surrounding environment into [Polar Night]; the effect will end after 7 days, or until the flower is destroyed.]

[A terrifying plant that forcibly locks in day and night cycles; its value is immeasurable.]

[Miraculous Seed: Shining Iron Stone Tree]

The Shining Iron Stone Tree produces fruit periodically; its fruit is composed of metal, a highly potent and Advanced Metal.

[A tree species capable of producing Advanced Metal is extremely valuable.]

In addition to the two legendary plant seeds mentioned above.

The last seed given as a mission reward was directly cultivated by Linsey and became the weapon he held in his hand.

[Weapon/Consumable: Red Horn Mistletoe]

[When used as a weapon, Red Horn Mistletoe can pierce through defensive techniques up to Sixth Stage; when used as a spear or arrow in a single use, it has enough power to penetrate defenses up to Seventh Stage, and it grows rapidly inside the enemy's body.]

[A powerful anti-magic weapon, extremely valuable.]

One is immeasurable, and the other is extremely valuable.

The reward for eliminating the power of the Extinction Crown is also commensurate with its high level of power.

"Linsey?"

Just then, Ailini, who was standing nearby, also came closer.

Hearing Green Fir's address in conversation, her gaze fell on Linsey, who was disguised as Kang Qi, and she quickly realized. "You, are you impersonating Mr. Kang Qi?"

"Ha ha--"

Upon hearing this, Linsey changed back to her original appearance and smiled at the delighted Ailini: "There's a reason why I'm taking on Mr. Kang Qi's appearance."

Linsey prepared to explain to Ailini why she had come here.

But before he could continue, Green Fir stepped between the two of them, scrutinizing the girl before him with a critical gaze:

"Linsey, you two seem to have a good relationship?"

Linsey answered very seriously:

"Green Fir, Ailini is my friend, a very good friend!"

"..."

Green Fir remained silent.

She had never had a good impression of the business profession, and neither did Ailini, who was standing in front of her.

The female scholar and Linsey locked eyes.

After a moment of intense eye contact, Green Fir abandoned the topic of Ailini and turned to ask about the other things that had just happened, "Linsey, you just said that the Forest's Will intervened and healed your injuries?"

Linsey understood Green Fir's concerns.

He deliberately omitted the middle part of the conversation and told Green Fir the information she wanted to know, "The Forest's Will is not hostile, but it is almost integrated with the world and can no longer separate its consciousness."

"Have they lost their self-awareness...?"

Green Fir frowned deeply.

For any Eighth Stage Awakened, the loss of self-awareness is an unacceptable price to pay.

Most of the top scholars in Volcano City are holders of Life Source Material.

It's not as urgent as other mainstream professions.

"Um..."

"But it is, after all, a successful example, and it is related to living systems."

After a brief analysis, Green Fir quickly made a decision:

"Linsey, I must report this matter to the Law Codex Compilation Society as soon as possible."

"Now that you've healed your injuries, come back with me."

Linsey immediately shook her head in refusal.

"No, I have to go to Echo Valley."

Green Fir raised an eyebrow, anger rising within her, and was about to reprimand him.

But before the other party speaks.

Linsey quickly pointed to her chest and offered a perfectly valid reason:

"Green Fir, as you know, I cultivate two different Essence, which will cause a lot of trouble. But according to the Forest Will, there might be an opportunity to resolve this hidden danger in Echo Valley!"
