Chapter 1106 Manly Men Cry Too
Lin Yuan wanted to evolve the Source Sand first.
He instructed the Source Sand to change into quicksand before he fed spirit qi crystals one by one into the quicksand.
The Source Sand’s power slowly increased. By the time Lin Yuan tossed the 200th spirit qi crystal into the quicksand, the Source Sand had evolved to Diamond I/Fantasy II.
A wave of sand granules kicked up from within the quicksand. These sand granules were all made of Close Guard Sand, the most active parts of the Source Sand.
Lin Yuan noticed that the Close Guard Sand had changed significantly. Previously, the Close Guard Sand was translucent. But now, the Close Guard Sand was made of transparent crystals. These crystals did not have color, but they seemed to be able to absorb any metal-type spiritual ingredient and temper it to gain its characteristics.
Although the quicksand under Lin Yuan’s control did not expand, the quicksand currents were now 1,000 times stronger.
It would only take minutes for the quicksand to bury a Diamond X fey.
After evolving to Diamond I/Fantasy II, the Source Sand still excelled at control abilities while its attack abilities were slightly weaker.
But if a lifeform sunk 300 meters into the sea of sand, the surrounding pressure would make it extremely difficult for the lifeform to make it out alive.
Moreover, there was still the killer exclusive skill.
At that moment, the Source Sand requested Lin Yuan to strengthen one of its exclusive skills.
The Source Sand was a special source-type item as it would not gain new abilities after its grade was evolved. Instead, it needed to select either Metal Consume Manifestation or Gravel Spirit Acceptance to evolve. Once again, Lin Yuan chose to strengthen Metal Consume Manifestation.
Previously, his decisions to evolve Metal Consume Manifestation had led to an increase in the types of metal-type items that Metal Consume Manifestation could consume and the types of shapes that Metal Consume Manifestation could change into.
Now, the Source Sand’s evolution was done.
However, he did not immediately move on to evolve other feys. Instead, he ordered the Source Sand to spit out all the Bronze ferromanganese. Cleanly shaped ferromanganese shot out of the quicksand, and Lin Yuan collected them. He stored them all into a Platinum fey storage box.
Although the ferromanganese was very suitable to the Source Sand, it would become less useful as the Source Sand continued to evolve.
Hence, it would be a waste of Metal Consume Manifestation if the Source Sand continued to store the ferromanganese.
Lin Yuan had already come up with a plan long ago for the metal-type spiritual ingredients that Source Sand would consume in the future.
He had prepared the metal-type spiritual ingredients that Source Sand would consume once it evolved to Diamond grade.
One of them was radium. Although radium was a Diamond spiritual ingredient, it was strong enough to withstand attacks from Myth Breed
feys.
wa
Besides its sturdiness, radium was also extremely sharp.
When Spirit Craftsmen were carving metal-type spiritual ingredients, they often chose treated radium as the head of their tools.
Hence, Lin Yuan felt that it was extremely suitable for the ferromanganese to be swapped with radium.
Although this would result in the Source Sand’s sand grains losing their sharpness, the radium would increase the sand grains’ durability and make it more difficult for a trapped entity to escape.
As the Source Sand consumed more types of metal-type items, it would be able to increase the combat power of the sea of sand. Lin Yuan took out the metal-type Red Lotus Soft Gold that he had asked Listen to collect over the course of a month.
Although the Red Lotus Soft Gold was a Platinum metal-type spiritual ingredient, it was even rarer than Diamond metal-type spiritual materials because it could only be found in Class 5 subterranean dimensional rifts.
In order to help Lin Yuan find the Red Lotus Soft Gold, Listen had used almost all of the revenue that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had earned from selling luxury goods. When held in one’s hand, the Red Lotus Soft Gold looked like a soft piece of metal that reflected red light. It was right on the cusp of transparency.
When the Red Lotus Soft Gold’s shape was changed, the red glow would move and appear like a red lotus. This was the reason for its name.
As innocuous as the Red Lotus Soft Gold appeared, it could be stretched into strands When spirit qi was injected into the strands, they would become exceedingly strong needles.
After the Source Sand consumed the Red Lotus Soft Gold, it would be able to produce the Red Lotus Soft Gold strands at any moment to finish off whatever entity was within the sea of sand.
When spirit qi was not involved, the Red Lotus Soft Gold strands could also become a strong malleable net that could be used as an attack or a means of restraint.
Moreover, the Red Lotus Soft Gold had decaying venom that would leave angry red scars on any lifeform that came into contact with it.
The scars were actually small rashes.
The Red Lotus Soft Gold’s venom would cause the target to lose their senses and act like a lunatic. It would also cause the target to cry uncontrollably, obscuring their sight.
It was even likely that the target would become so crazed that it would start to attack recklessly. When there were many enemies, it was even possible for the affected targets to turn their backs on their comrades.
Lin Yuan watched as the Source Sand moved on to consume the Red Lotus Soft Gold, and he felt that even the most composed would not be able to hold back from screaming when they stepped on the sand granules with the Red Lotus Soft Gold’s characteristics.
They would even start crying without intending to.
