26: Chapter 26 Evolution, Moonflower Sparrow!

Saturday evening, the sky was gradually darkening.

Lin Fan closed the shop early, tidied the counter, and lit a soft lamp in the corner.

The evolution of the Moonlight Sparrow needed to take place at night, and the light couldn't be too strong, otherwise it would affect the Lightfeather Sparrow's perception of moonlight.

Xu Ziyan had brought a small stool early on and sat in the corner, holding the Snow Spirit Fox in his arms with a look of anticipation.

"Lin Fan, what time do we start?"

Lin Fan looked at the clock on the wall.

"When it's completely dark. She made an appointment for seven, so she should be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, the shop door was pushed open.

Lin Yuwei walked in, followed by a girl with twin ponytails.

The girl was a bit shorter than Lin Yuwei, wearing a pink sweatshirt, with large eyes that curiously scanned the shop.

"Lin Fan, I'm here!"

Lin Yuwei greeted him with a smile and then pulled the girl behind her forward.

"This is my best friend, Tang Tang, also a sophomore. She heard you were helping me with the evolution today and insisted on coming to watch."

Tang Tang waved at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan also nodded with a smile in response.

"Have a seat anywhere, just don't disturb us."

Tang Tang nodded obediently, ran over to sit next to Xu Ziyan, and looked curiously at the Snow Spirit Fox in his arms.

"Wow, such a cute fox!"

Xu Ziyan's face turned red, and he shrank back slightly.

Lin Yuwei walked to the counter, a light flashed in her right eye, and the Lightfeather Sparrow landed on the counter.

After a week of conditioning.

It had fully recovered, looking spirited with snow-white feathers, and the tuft of pale gold fluff on its head shimmered under the light.

"It's Rank 25, and the Materials are ready."

Lin Yuwei took two small boxes out of her backpack and opened them.

In one box were two bottles of moonlight dew, the pale silver liquid glowing slightly inside the bottles.

In the other box were three starlight stone shardss, about the size of a fingernail, shimmering with bits of starlight.

Lin Fan checked them over and nodded.

"No problem. We can start."

He looked at Lin Yuwei.

"The evolution process will take about an hour. You can't be disturbed during this time, so just stay quiet."

Lin Yuwei nodded, stepped back a few paces, and stood to the side.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and looked at the Lightfeather Sparrow.

His left eye felt slightly warm.

[Race]: Lightfeather Sparrow

[Rank]: Rank 25

[Status]: Healthy, abundant spiritual power, suitable for evolution

[Evolution Path]: Moonlight Sparrow (earth spirit superior)

[Guiding Method]: First feed it moonlight dew. Once its body is filled with moonlight energy, feed it the starlight stone shardss. Simultaneously guide the flow of spiritual power with a light-attribute spirit crystal to facilitate the Fusion of the two Materials. Must be performed under moonlight.

Lin Fan looked out the window.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, with silvery-white light spilling through the window and casting a clear glow on the floor.

He opened the window, letting the moonlight shine directly onto the counter.

Feeling the moonlight, the Lightfeather Sparrow raised its head slightly, its eyes brightening.

Lin Fan picked up a bottle of moonlight dew, opened the cap, and held it to the Lightfeather Sparrow's beak.

The Lightfeather Sparrow lowered its head and took a few sips.

The pale silver liquid flowed down its beak, and its feathers began to glow.

Lin Fan didn't stop. Once it finished the first bottle, he opened the second.

Both bottles of moonlight dew were finished.

The Lightfeather Sparrow's feathers grew brighter and brighter, its original snow-white color beginning to reveal a faint silver tint.

Lin Fan picked up the light-attribute spirit crystal, held it in his left hand, and gently pressed his right hand onto the Lightfeather Sparrow's back.

Spiritual power flowed from the Spirit Crystal through his fingers and into the Lightfeather Sparrow's body.

He closed his eyes, and the information from his left eye surfaced in his mind.

[Spiritual Power Guiding Route: Inject from the back, flow along the Meridians to the wings, then converge at the head.]

Following the instructions, Lin Fan slowly channeled the spiritual power.

The Lightfeather Sparrow's feathers grew brighter and brighter, the silver light gradually covering its entire body.

Five minutes later, Lin Fan opened his eyes and picked up the starlight stone shardss.

"Open your mouth."

The Lightfeather Sparrow obediently opened its beak.

Lin Fan fed it the first fragment.

The Lightfeather Sparrow swallowed, and a flash of light erupted from its body.

The second piece.

The light grew even more intense.

The third piece.

The moment the third fragment was swallowed, the Lightfeather Sparrow's whole body shuddered.

Silver light erupted from within it, instantly enveloping the entire counter.

Lin Fan squinted his eyes but didn't back away, continuing to channel spiritual power.

The light grew brighter and stronger.

Vaguely, the Lightfeather Sparrow's form could be seen changing.

Its wings became longer and wider, its tail feathers more elegant, and the tuft of pale gold fluff on its head turned silver-white, shining brilliantly under the moonlight.

The entire process lasted about a minute.

The light gradually dissipated.

A brand-new Armor Spirit stood on the counter.

Lin Fan's left eye scanned it, and a new panel appeared.

[Race]: Moonlight Sparrow

[Aptitude]: earth spirit superior (Potential has reached its limit)

[Rank]: Rank 25

[Attributes]: Light-type / Moonlight-type (Dual Attributes)

[Armorization Part]: Eyes

[Post-Evolution Armor Skills]: Moonlight Impact, Light-Moon Shield, Blinding Flash, Moon Shadow Step.

[Evaluation]: A rare dual-attribute evolution path. It retains the advantages of the Light-type while gaining nighttime combat capabilities.

Lin Yuwei's eyes widened.

"It... it succeeded?"

Lin Fan withdrew his hand, put the Spirit Crystal back into the box, and nodded.

"It succeeded. Moonlight Sparrow, earth spirit superior, dual-attribute."

Lin Yuwei stared at the silver-white bird for several seconds.

Under the moonlight, the Moonlight Sparrow's feathers shimmered with a faint silver glow, and its eyes were like two small moons, incredibly beautiful.

It suddenly spread its wings, circled gracefully on the counter, then raised its head and let out a crisp cry.

"Chirp."

The sound was clearer than before, possessing a penetrating quality yet remaining strangely soft.

"It's so beautiful..."

Lin Yuwei took out her phone and transferred 200,000 without a word.

"Transfer successful!"

Lin Fan looked at the payment notification on his phone, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Two hundred thousand, secured.

Just then, a sudden warmth spread across the back of his hand.

Lin Fan looked down, his pupils shrinking slightly.

[Detected that the host has successfully guided an Armor Spirit's evolution.]

[Obtained Source Energy Points: 50 points.]

[Current Source Energy: 50 points.]

Lin Fan was stunned.

50 points?

Could helping someone else's Armor Spirit evolve really grant Source Energy Points?

He stared at the line of text, his heart beginning to race.

Opening the fourth armor aperture was now within reach!

Seeing him dazed, Lin Yuwei asked curiously.

"Lin Fan? What's wrong?"

Lin Fan snapped out of it and waved his hand.

"Nothing, just thinking about something."

Beside them, Tang Tang suddenly stood up and ran to the counter.

"Lin Fan! I want to ask for your help too!"

Lin Fan looked at her.

"Help with what?"
