104: Hourglass

Next was the Ghost Faction, which bore a strong resemblance to the Insect Faction, even offering two distinct yet effective paths to achieve Qing Yan's vision.

The first was to become a powerful "Ghost Tamer," thereby issuing precise commands to Ghost Faction pet beasts, making them obediently follow instructions.

The second was to skillfully imbue the Insect Silk puppet with abundant soul power, significantly enhancing its intelligence and ultimately realizing the seemingly distant "capitalist dream."

Ghost Faction materials have always been extremely rare, their scarcity significantly higher compared to other types of materials.

Li Wen diligently searched through the vast treasury, his gaze sweeping over cabinet after cabinet filled with a dazzling array of treasures.

These cabinets varied in height, size, and shape, but without exception, they were all filled with various precious items.

Yet, even after a long period of meticulous searching, he only managed to find three or four Ghost Faction resources that reached level five.

To his surprise and delight, among these few resources, there happened to be one that perfectly aligned with Li Wen's long-held cultivation concept!

Soul Crystal

Material Level: Level Five Material

Once pet beasts absorb the energy of the Soul Crystal, they will possess a stronger will and keener perception.

This is a crystal formed from pure soul energy, radiating an enchanting glow. The Soul Crystal possesses incredible power, capable of directly enhancing a pet beast's soul strength.

As of now, after much deliberation and careful consideration, the first resource to be selected has finally been decided.

However, this was merely the beginning, as another crucial resource awaited Li Wen's selection.

Among the many available resources, the Insect Faction and Dragon Faction were not Qing Yan's preferred types.

A spontaneous, instinctive resistance would always well up from deep within her heart.

Therefore, if he wanted to cover as many different attributes as possible, then the Time Faction undoubtedly became the highest priority option.

After all, the Time Faction was not only suitable for Qing Yan, but he himself also wanted to see what kind of evolution it could produce.

Speaking of the Time Faction, frankly, including it in the usable system was somewhat forced.

However, upon closer examination, it would be found that Qing Yan herself, at different points in time, could also serve as an object of exploitation!

Although this statement might seem absurd at first listen, after deeper thought, it wasn't entirely unexplainable.

In this mysterious and vast world, the Space and Time Factions are recognized as extremely rare attributes.

They not only represent supreme power and potential but are also abilities many strong individuals dream of possessing.

However, despite the high priority of the Space and Time Factions, finding related resources is by no means easy.

From the very beginning of his search, Li Wen had consistently focused on whether he could find Time Faction resources.

But contrary to his wishes, it was regrettable that even though all three other factions had been found, there was no trace of it whatsoever.

Just as Li Wen was about to settle for a lesser option, he finally found the only Time Faction resource in the treasury.

Hourglass of Time

Material Level: Level Six Material

When worn during evolution, it grants the ability to briefly alter the flow of time after evolution.

In intense combat, this means pet beasts can gain a valuable moment of respite or seize the opportunity to launch a fatal blow; and when injured and in need of recovery, they can also utilize this time to accelerate physical healing and regain vitality.

This mysterious item contains the power of time and has an unfathomable structure.

Special Interpretation:

Due to its possession of time power, and simultaneously being eroded by time power itself, its energy fluctuations have gradually decreased to an extremely low level, but it is indeed a Level Six resource.

This resource, which exceeded Li Wen's imagination, was hidden in an extremely secluded corner, as if forgotten by the world.

Its location was truly a corner within a corner, surrounded by dust and cobwebs, appearing utterly unremarkable.

If not for the mysterious panel providing a detailed interpretation, Li Wen would never have noticed its existence even if he searched for three days and three nights.

Prior to this, due to the painful lesson of Ya Bao using resources beyond its level, Li Wen had always been wary of Level Six materials and had never even considered looking at them.

After all, this plan originally involved adding some high-quality resources, and doing so would undoubtedly make the entire operation even more perilous.

However, despite his concerns, when Li Wen truly understood the miraculous effects contained within this resource, his resolute heart began to waver.

This seemingly ordinary resource actually possessed the powerful ability of the Time Faction, capable of briefly altering the flow of time!

Whether it was accelerating the passage of time or slowing its pace, it seemed incredibly powerful.

This temptation was simply too great, great enough to make Li Wen temporarily forget all risks and worries.

After a careful selection, Li Wen contentedly picked up the two incomparably precious treasures and slowly walked out of the treasury.

He cautiously handed the token used to exchange for resources to the staff member standing by, his face beaming with unconcealed joy.

Subsequently, Li Wen swaggered out of the treasury, feeling justified in taking these treasures that originally belonged to his "cheap father-in-law."

The female staff member responsible for the handover watched his receding figure with a puzzled expression.

She could understand the value of the Soul Crystal that Li Wen took, but the other treasure was completely unfamiliar to her; she couldn't even state its exact name.

However, all of these matters seemed to have no bearing on the staff member; she simply conscientiously completed her work.

Immediately after, Li Wen unhesitatingly activated "Didi Bird" again.

Before long, he successfully returned home.

Although his heart was filled with excitement and exhilaration at this moment, he did not become rash or impulsive because of it.

After all, there were still important matters to attend to; he first had to "py" with the Tree Emperor and Mind Emperor, asking them to hold the fort for him.

It should be known that during this evolution, his teacher and senior brothers all happened to be preoccupied and unable to come help, and as for Lu Chen, he was completely unreliable.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of seeking external assistance naturally fell on Li Wen's own shoulders.

Only in this way, if he encountered any sudden emergencies, would he not be isolated and helpless, struggling alone.

In short, no matter what, Li Wen did not want to shortchange himself; it was always wise to be extra careful in all matters!
