Xu Ran looked at the Velvet Sparrow before him, surprise appearing on his face.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
None of the resources the Velvet Sparrow had just listed amounted to much on its own, but hearing them all together gave Xu Ran a powerful sense of familiarity.
Though it wasn't Monarch Rank blood essence, Marshal Rank blood essence was remarkably similar. Then there were the Transcendence Flower, the Psychic Element resource Fantasy Crystal, and Healing Water, which also had healing effects...

But a few scattered secrets about evolution and a complete set of evolution materials were two entirely different things.
Originally, Xu Ran had planned to wait until the Velvet Sparrow exchanged its points for some resources, then help it look up the corresponding Monarch Species Evolution Route, using that to make it willing to form a contract with him.

But Xu Ran certainly wouldn't know the
