Zilan's New Hidden Evolution Path, Treasure Fruit
The text label on the panel in the Evolution Path section has always been:
[Gift of All Spirits] consumes the [Power of All Spirits] gathered on this pet. Once fully gathered, the complete Evolution Path will be revealed. As the pet's level increases and its Trait grow, the fusion speed of the [Power of All Spirits] on this pet will be enhanced.
Moreover, this is also true after Linghuan evolves.
After the level was increased, this part suddenly seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and then slowly dissipated.
New text also appeared.
The new evolved form of Zilan has finally appeared!
After evolving into [Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid], it became the only one of its kind in this world.
The next evolutionary form can only be a hidden path.
[Evolution Path]:
Hidden Evolution Path 1: Purple Venerable Treasure Orchid, High-Grade Commander, 88% Compatibility.
Hidden Evolution Path Two: Purple Spirit Immortal Orchid, High-Grade Commander, with a compatibility rate of 92%.
Hidden Evolution Path 3: None yet (Unlocked by upgrading the pet's [Pagoda] to LV2 and having ten [Purple Ghost Orchid] with "Dedication" and "Piety" nearby.)
Lin Yuan looked at the form of the [Purple Venerable Treasure Orchid].
Compared to the Zilan, it appears more magnificent. The original three-tiered Pagoda shape has now become a six-tiered structure, with each tier having layers upon layers of flowers.
High-Grade Commander production-type plant pets!
Lin Yuan looked at the Evolution Materials; there were three types of Commander Quality, none of which he recognized.
However, one thing is certain: if it can evolve to this form, the value of the Zilan will increase even further.
At that time, the quality of [Spirit Dew] can be upgraded to the Commander rank.
There is also a high probability that new products will be created.
He continued to look at the form of the [Purple Spirit Immortal Orchid].
The original Pagoda shape has changed, becoming a two-layered structure, with the bottom layer consisting of a large patch of smaller purple orchids.
Then, a fairy orchid grew from the orchid, located in the visual center, appearing ethereal and otherworldly.
Both are High-Grade Commander!
This form looks much more noble and elegant, and its aesthetic appeal has also increased.
One can imagine that the main flower, as the core, might produce unexpected products.
However, it was this Hidden Evolution Path three that truly piqued his interest.
This was the first time he desperately wanted to tear open the words "Nothing Available" to see if he could directly see the hidden evolution form below.
He had seen "temporarily unavailable" on [Courier Bird], Zizi, and Mingche, but he had never felt this way before.
After all, Zilan was an important family member who accompanied him as he grew up.
He certainly wanted to prepare for all possibilities in advance.
After all, Level 6 of the Transcendent isn't far from Level 10. At Zilan's rate of progress, she might be able to evolve within two or three months.
Fortunately, this time the path directly showed the unlocking conditions, giving him direction.
The upgrade of [Pagoda] to LV2 is linked to his [Bonded Enlightenment Art].
Based on his experience and understanding over this period, as long as he uses [Bonded Enlightenment Art] on Zilan a second time, this [Bond Trait] should be able to level up.
Unfortunately, he cannot use what he senses yet.
Perhaps his mental strength and level were insufficient, perhaps Zilan's level was insufficient, or perhaps his proficiency with this [Beast-Taming Art] was insufficient.
Anyway.
This gave him the motivation to improve himself even faster.
The second requirement, however, is quite intriguing.
Lin Yuan could always sense the devout emotions of the group of [Purple Ghost Orchid] around Zilan.
They regard the Zilan as their "holy lord," and interestingly, the mutated [Purple Ghost Orchid] possesses the qualities of "dedication" and "piety."
Therefore, this hidden evolutionary form may be a very rare [Symbiotic Evolution]?
Lin Yuan has seen very few cases of this type of evolution.
However, there are specific cases in the Chenlong Kingdom.
For example, there is a mammal on the beach called the Kapila, which always grows hard calluses on its head and needs to periodically seek help from a pet called the Biting Shellfish.
The first instance of Symbiotic Evolution occurred in these two pet beasts, who evolved together into [Kapi Shell Beast].
Another classic example is the Giant-Toothed Crocodile and the Swallow Toothpick Bird. Giant-Toothed Crocodile often have parasites in their mouths, and these parasites are a good supplement for Swallow Toothpick Bird.
They naturally exist in a mutually beneficial way.
However, there are relatively few cases of Symbiotic Evolution. Research shows that a deep emotional bond between the two is necessary to meet the prerequisite for Symbiotic Evolution.
The evolved [Crocodile Spirit Bird Beast] is capable of both defense and offense, and is also extremely fast and powerful.
There are also Blue-Backed Whale and Rock Barnacle. Some Blue-Backed Whale choose to coexist peacefully with their "enemies," the Rock Barnacle, and eventually evolve into Barnacle-Armored Whale through Symbiotic Evolution.
Such examples are few, but each one is always something to talk about.
However, Zilan was originally [Purple Ghost Orchid], it just evolved into [Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid].
They are of the same origin, and Lin Yuan has not yet read about cases of Symbiotic Evolution of pets of the same origin.
"Zilan, you did a great job." Lin Yuan calmed down a bit and praised Zilan for her rapid progress.
In just one month, he progressed from Level 1 to Level 6 Transcendent the Transcendent, and still hasn't been contracted as a production-type pet. This is definitely one of the fastest improvement rates.
Even though reaching the Transcendent Level 6 is relatively easy, under normal circumstances, it would take a well-trained pet five to six months to reach this level.
Of course, Zilan are an exception.
Having twice come close to the center of a [Spirit Energy Burst], and possessing a [Beast Gear] of Monarch quality, even Ordinary pets cannot obtain such an extraordinary encounter.
Zilan did not respond immediately this time.
It seemed to be gathering all its strength, as if it were brewing something.
At that moment, Lin Yuan noticed that the [Treasure Fruit] that had been condensed in the Pagoda behind him suddenly emitted a bright purple light.
Then, it actually flew out of the void Pagoda formed by energy.
It landed steadily in Lin Yuan's hand.
When Lin Yuan touched it, he was surprised to find it warm to the touch, though it felt rather hard.
It's less like a fruit and more like a crystal nucleus formed from energy.
Has it been formed?
According to Zilan's previous assessment, it would take approximately four weeks to form a [Treasure Fruit].
Clearly, due to the "overabundance of nutrients" during this period, even the [Treasure Fruit] has been able to condense.
But what is the use of this [Treasure Fruit]?
Lin Yuan cannot see the product's panel information.
With only one, he couldn't conduct the experiment.
We can only ask Zilan to see if it knows anything about this.
"Zilan, what is the use of this [Treasure Fruit], and how can it be used?"
Zilan trembled all over, seemingly very excited. A drop or two of [Spirit Dew] floated out, but fortunately it controlled itself and dripped precisely into the flowerpot next to it.
Combining the information from the panel and the intermittent messages from Zilan, Lin Yuan roughly understood how to use the [Treasure Fruit].
This [Treasure Fruit] is itself formed from the condensed Trait a [Pagoda].
It is nurtured by emotions; the more abundant the Zilan's emotions, the more it aligns with its true self, and the greater the probability of condensing the [Treasure Fruit]. Its quality and the time it takes to develop...
The length is related to the intensity of emotions.
Therefore, its function is to enhance the emotional intensity of pets within a certain period of time, and strengthen the emotional perception that is most comfortable and suitable for pets.
This was completely different from what Lin Yuan had initially thought. He had assumed that, judging from the name of the [Treasure Fruit], it might be a fruit-like item that could enhance one's strength or heal injuries after consumption.
The effects of this [Treasure Fruit] seem somewhat ethereal at first glance.
But for Lin Yuan, this was a treasure.
Pets' emotions, perceptions, and preferences can, to some extent, be catalysts for them to unlock hidden routes earlier.
Just like the conflicted feelings Zizi initially had towards Liu Xing, combined with her love of beauty and her [Illusion Dream] Trait, it catalyzed a new hidden evolutionary path.
Needless to say, [the Courier Bird Nang Nang only unlocked its first Hidden Evolution Path after its sense of happiness and self-identity improved.
This [Treasure Fruit] may have a miraculous effect under special circumstances.
Moreover, upon closer reflection, even if it's not just for developing hidden paths, the [Treasure Fruit] effect can be applied in different environments.
If given to Mingche, would it be able to establish a better understanding of the real and fake worlds more quickly after its emotional perception is enhanced?
If Baishi, who was still in a period of self-deprecation at the time, were given this opportunity, would he have been able to regain his confidence more quickly?
Lin Yuan had already constructed a variety of usable scenarios in his mind.
However, he quickly realized that there should be a limit to the use of such products. Ultimately, it is important not to let the pet's emotions explode and exceed a certain threshold, otherwise it would be too much of a case of forcing growth.
Place it in an empty box, keep it safe, and put it in the [Ethereal Ring].
It takes two to three weeks for Zilan to condense into a single fruit.
He felt that he didn't even have enough for his own use, so he didn't want to consider selling it to others for the time being.
"Zilan, thank you so much. This [Treasure Fruit] is very valuable." Lin Yuan expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
From his childhood until now, Zilan has always been quietly helping and dedicating herself.
She also kept surprising him.
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself that he must evolve Zilan into a New Form that best suits her and that she desires most.
Zilan quickly returned to its immersive state of cultivation.
Reaching the Transcendent Level 6, it condensed a [Treasure Fruit]. Sensing its little master's excitement, it only felt that it should work harder and contribute more to demonstrate its own value.
Lin Yuan then returned to his room.
He couldn't forget about the third hidden evolutionary path of the Zilan.
Are there really no examples of Symbiotic Evolution between sibling beasts?
Or should this kind of evolution not be called "Symbiotic Evolution"?
His thirst for knowledge immediately led him to devote himself to research.
Days passed by, and Lin Yuan continued to shuttle between different competition subjects, keeping himself busy.
I've also been keeping records of information related to [Courier Bird].
Three days later.
July 31st.
Following the prompts on the panel, Baishi evolves.
Soon----
