2024 Marrow!
Liu Jie did not like interacting with outsiders.
After he became Lin Yuan’s retainer, he did not feel the need to interact much with anyone besides the few friends he had from before.
After all, the duty of a retainer was to protect the spirit qi professional they were bound to.
Liu Jie had interacted with Bai Qinghuan because the latter had sworn her loyalty to Lin Yuan and was one of them. Otherwise, Liu Jie would not have spoken so much to her either, much less improve himself through their interactions.
!!“Big Brother Liu, why don’t we have Bai Qinghuan follow you from now on? Both of you can discuss strategies surrounding the Startling Lines Continent together.
“Wen Yu’s sacred source lifeform has risen to 4 Stars. The next time she uses the Astronomical Parliament, Wen Yu can take you in too. Big Brother Liu, once you’ve grown more, you can not only manage the white-clothed followers but also try your hand at managing Sky Creation’s other branches.”
Liu Jie immediately looked excited. He had always known that he was lacking in strategizing skills and could not help much when it came to building factions.
But now, he was presented with the chance to improve himself.
Liu Jie had always wanted to be of help to Lin Yuan and Wen Yu in managing Sky City.
He intended to learn as much as he could from Bai Qinghuan in the next year.
He knew that Lin Yuan and Wen Yu would use Wen Yu’s Astronomical Parliament to hold a meeting in the stars every once in a while. Neither Lin Yuan nor Wen Yu had hidden this from him.
They did not include him in the past because the Astronomical Parliament’s Stars had not been high enough.
Every additional member seated on the 12 golden thrones would increase the drain of spiritual energy.
But now, this was no longer an issue.
Liu Jie could communicate perfectly with Lin Yuan and Wen Yu in real life, and pulling him into the meetings would be wasting a seat.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu decided to let Liu Jie take one of the golden thrones.
The three of them had decided to set up a faction together, and regardless of what happened, it had to be carried on by the three of them.
After pulling Liu Jie into the Astronomical Parliament, Lin Yuan did not intend to instruct Wen Yu to pull anyone from reality into the Astronomical Parliament.
The remaining nine golden thrones would be filled up by the members of the north-south constellation seats, as determined by the results they achieved.
After chatting with Liu Jie for some time, Lin Yuan returned to his room and woke up Begin Lady.
Soon, the pink and golden gem at the corner of Lin Yuan’s eye turned into Begin Lady’s figure.
Lin Yuan said, “Begin Lady, I need to talk with you about something. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s bloodline absorption ability is very important to me. I want to feed it my bloodline. It goes without saying that the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp absorbing my bloodline will not have any impact on your bloodline.”
Begin Lady blushed when it heard what Lin Yuan said.
Bloodlines were very mysterious and sacred to feys with elite bloodlines.
When male and female feys came together to produce new life, it was fundamentally a process involving the combination of their bloodlines.
Now that the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp had absorbed its bloodline, Begin Lady was the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s mother.
Once Lin Yuan fed his bloodline to the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp, his bloodline would guide it to transform.
Thus, the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp was now a fey that contained both Begin Lady and Lin Yuan’s bloodlines.
In a way, they were now the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s parents.
If Begin Lady heard what Lin Yuan said when it was experiencing the Heaven’s Trial, it would not have thought much of it.
But now, Begin Lady had absorbed Bai Dong and Su Jian’s souls and knew more about human relationships than Lin Yuan.
But in spite of its reddened face, Begin Lady would not turn down Lin Yuan’s request.
Begin Lady summoned the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp and handed it to Lin Yuan as it said, “Our bloodlines have concentrated water-type aura and are rather similar. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp probably won’t reject them.”
After Lin Yuan received the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp, it turned into water currents in his arms and started swimming around him.
The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp remembered that it only became so strong with Lin Yuan’s help.
At present, the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp was edging closer to Immortal and had intelligence comparable to average humans.
After Lin Yuan had a discussion with Morbius, he decided not to keep Begin Lady in the dark about the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
This was because Begin Lady’s original body was the mouth of a spirit spring. When it was placed in the Element Well, it could increase the quantity of water produced in the Element Well.
Thus, he decided to place Begin Lady and the 37 mouths of spirit springs inside the Element Well while Begin Lady was sleeping so they could all aid in increasing the volume of water.
Before he told Begin Lady about this and brought it into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan decided to ask Begin Lady how it had become an intermediate faerie.
Begin Lady replied honestly, “I don’t remember the specifics of how I came upon the opportunity. When I gained intelligence, I remember that there was the marrow of a lifeform that was releasing concentrated energy. It was this energy that increased my intelligence. I don’t know exactly what the lifeform is. Eventually, the lifeform’s entire body dissolved in the river water. I only became a faerie because of that unknown lifeform’s marrow.”
Begin Lady paused before it continued seriously. “But that marrow only created me. The one who saved me and gave me a new lease of life is you!”
A blissful grin spread across Begin Lady’s face as it spoke.
Without Lin Yuan, it would never have been able to experience the outside world like it was doing now.
When Lin Yuan heard what Begin Lady said, he was curious about what lifeform had created an intermediate faerie using just its marrow.
But at the same time, he knew that the world was definitely more complicated than he thought.
The world in his shrine that had been created by the spirit fire, as well as Begin Lady’s existence, had both refreshed Lin Yuan’s previous understanding of the world.
Lin Yuan knew that he still had a long way to go before he became a true expert.
Compared to Begin Lady, the Moon Empress was no longer the strongest expert that Lin Yuan had ever met.
Now, Lin Yuan possessed more power than the Moon Empress.
In the past, the Moon Empress had been the one who protected him.
From now on, he would be capable of protecting the Moon Empress. He might even be able to help the Moon Empress reach even higher heights after she awakened her spirit fire and took control of her birth horoscope.
