59: Lost Crown

Saying goodbye to Lu Chen and Su Chen, Li Wen, with an excited heart, opened the forum, preparing to exchange for some urgently needed resources. The resource exchange quota he obtained this time was very ample.

Therefore, even his three pet beasts could all be satisfied.

First, after deciphering the local inheritance secret realm, the mayor generously gave out five Tier 3 resource exchange slots and one Tier 4 resource exchange slot.

At that time, when Li Wen handed the Secret Realm Orb to the mayor, the expression on the mayor's face was truly priceless. 'I've already organized the event, and recruitment for the slots has already begun.'

'And now you're telling me you finished deciphering it in a single day?'

Surprise was one thing, but for the mayor, it was actually a good thing. If other young people had truly been allowed to participate in the trial and failed to complete the exploration,

the local government would definitely have to spend a batch of resources to improve their strength. This expenditure would be far greater than the reward given to Li Wen. As for those who had already signed up, the secret realm was only deciphered; they could still undergo the trial.

After obtaining these resources, Su Chen had already gained his own benefits, and Lu Chen felt that his role in deciphering the secret realm was completely insignificant, so neither of them wanted these resources.

But Li Wen, adhering to the principle of 'since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed,' ultimately gave each of them one Tier 3 resource.

Not only that, there was also the 'exploration mission' led by the teacher. As a Master Tier Beastmaster in the preparatory avian lineage, his mission rewards certainly couldn't be low.

Therefore, the rewards for the two assisting Breeders were also very generous: one Tier 4 resource and one Tier 5 resource. This was mainly due to the different emphasis placed on Beastmasters and Breeders.

For a Beastmaster, the greatest use of a material is for their own pet beast. But for a Breeder, it's different; with the same resource, a Breeder might be able to imbue it with greater value.

So, the rewards for Breeders focused on resources, while Beastmasters, in addition to resources, also received various secret realm qualifications to enhance their strength.

Looking at it this way, the journey for all three could be said to be full of rewards.

Not just in terms of resources, but also in terms of pet beasts, so everything needed to enter a resource planning phase.

For his own resources, Li Wen's first priority was undoubtedly a wood-attribute Elemental Heart.

Under Qingyan's multiple evolution rituals, even with the Little Green Worm's inherent deficiency in Energy Value, it had already surpassed Yabao.

Moreover, the comprehension of vitality was equally important for Yabao. Besides, Yuan Wang already had one, so it was perfectly reasonable for Yabao to have one too.

As for Qingyan, forget about it. With seven or eight attributes, if each attribute required an Elemental Heart, who could afford to feed it?

Next was the Tier 5 resource, which, without a doubt, was to be reserved for Yabao as an evolution resource reserve. With this exchange qualification, there was no longer any need to trouble Senior Brother for the moonlight crystal material.

In other words, in terms of materials, Yabao's evolution was only missing the heart of metamorphosis, a scarce resource.

Li Wen decided to give the last Tier 4 resource to Yuan Wang. Qingyan already had enough resources, and there was no need to give it any more before its evolution.

However, Li Wen knew too little about pure elemental Slimes to determine what resources it needed, so he could only prepare to choose from the material list.

This couldn't be blamed on Li Wen. Since the appearance of knowledge points, his volume of data perusal had been enormous. It could be said that any accessible data would be checked to see if knowledge points could be obtained from it.

But regarding Yuan Wang, it was only after reviewing the data that he realized its uniqueness. Ordinary Slimes usually had some elemental affinity, such as green Slimes having a faint wind attribute, and blue Slimes having a faint ice attribute.

Pure elemental Slimes are as rare as non-elemental Slimes, so naturally, fewer people research them, and the data available is of a higher level.

The only information available was its panel's traits, Skills, and three-dimensional values. Cultivating it according to existing resources was the best approach.

He opened the Tier 4 resource list:

[Mental Droplet]

After consuming this material, a pet beast can slightly increase its mental power, recover a large amount of mental power, and has an extremely low chance of gaining the [Invigorate] Skill.

Derived from a certain Monarch Tier pet beast.

[Giant Spirit Beast Grass]

After consumption, it also provides a slight increase in body size for pet beasts. It is more effective for pet beasts with [Gigantification] and [Multiplication].

Giant Spirit Beast Grass is a rare plant distributed in natural environments such as forests and grasslands. Its appearance is similar to ordinary grass, but its leaves are thicker and its color is brighter.

"This is indeed good," Li Wen thought.

Unlike Yabao, whose life path was already determined, and Qingyan, who had multiple genes, Yuan Wang currently had two cultivation paths.

One was the elemental control path, like elemental beings, which is the Elemental Mage model. The other was the body size path, similar to non-elemental Slimes.

Because both have a divine Skill like [Multiplication], and [Elementalization] can also, to a certain extent, achieve the high defense effect of non-elemental Slime species.

This item, it could be said, indeed had a certain compatibility with Yuan Wang.

[Elemental Stone]

Elemental Stones are an important source for Beastmasters to provide elemental energy to spirit beasts. At the same time, Elemental Stones can also help spirit beasts better absorb and utilize elemental energy from nature, enhancing their elemental control abilities.

Elemental Stones are ores in nature that contain various elemental energies, such as Fire Elemental Stones, Water Elemental Stones, Wind Elemental Stones, etc. They vary in appearance but all have distinct elemental characteristics and different grades according to their quality.

This was the exact opposite of the [Giant Spirit Beast Grass], going in the Elemental Mage direction, but it was a wood element. To what extent could it grow?

A Thousand-Armed Guanyin? It was still a bit underwhelming, not what was most needed at this stage... After browsing for a while, apart from a few that seemed decent, there were no materials particularly suitable for Yuan Wang until Li Wen saw something that made his eyes light up.

[lost crown]

It can provide affinity for the pet beast, a slight increase in Energy Value, and even enhance the pet beast's status within its pack.

The reason is unknown... In contrast, the panel provided more complete information.

[lost crown]

...This item originated from the former Tier 7 material [Lost Imperial Crown]. Due to multiple uses, its energy decreased, ultimately leading to a reduction in its material tier. However, all previous users were tribal leaders and it possesses a spiritual suggestion function.

Li Wen: Wait, let me count, Tier 7.

That corresponds to Legendary Tier. How could an item of that tier be degraded to a Tier 4 material? What did these pet beasts use it for?

It couldn't be for evolution, could it? That's beyond absurd.

But it didn't matter. Yuan Wang needed this for evolution anyway. Putting other things aside, this tribal status was indeed important for Yuan Wang.

Although there wasn't a single Slime yet, Yuan Wang's first metamorphosis was closely related to its pack. It could be said that managing the pack well could reduce the difficulty of evolution to the lowest possible level.

Li Wen had only one evaluation: suitable.
