133: Purple Lightning Butterfly and Poisonous Spider
The purple butterfly was only the size of a palm, looking very fragile.
race: Purple Lightning Light Butterfly
Rank: Spirit Beast Nine-Star
Type: Lightning, Light
State: Observing
Aptitude: Good
Skills: 1. Electric Arc (Profound-grade): The Purple Lightning Light Butterfly emits a high-voltage electric arc forward through its antennae.
2. Lightning Ball (Profound-grade): The Purple Lightning Light Butterfly, after a short period of charging, projects a lightning ball towards the target area.
3. Lightning Garment (Profound-grade): Gathers a large amount of lightning elements to form a veil made of lightning. This veil can isolate the effects of some lightning Skills and can spread the lightning energy on its body when the target touches other objects, causing a certain amount of damage.
4. Purple Lightning Whip (Profound-grade): Condenses a long whip made of purple lightning, which can be controlled by the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly to attack the target.
5. Electric Flash (Profound-grade): Controls its body to emit an extremely bright electric light.
Evolution Path: 1. Purple Lightning Light Butterfly → Purple Prison Lightning Butterfly;
2. Purple Lightning Light Butterfly → Yin Yang Two-Winged Butterfly;
3. Purple Lightning Light Butterfly → Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly.
When Luo Chen saw the Evolution Path, his eyes lit up; this seemingly delicate little butterfly actually had three Evolution Paths.
This piqued Luo Chen's interest, but when he focused on the materials required for these three Evolution Paths, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
However, he temporarily put the thought aside and turned to look at another Beast beside Liang Jingsi.
This Beast was even smaller than the butterfly just now, a spider-like Beast only the size of a palm.
However, the skin on its body surface was light red, looking somewhat eerie, or rather, like it possessed potent venom.
race: Poison Spirit Spider
Rank: Spirit Beast Nine-Star
Type: Poison
State: Attached
Aptitude: Excellent
Skills: 1. Poison Spirit Thorn (Profound-grade): The Poison Spirit Spider condenses a spiritual thorn containing poison. After causing damage to the target, it will invade the target's body.
2. Binding Web Silk (Profound-grade): The Poison Spirit Spider shoots binding spider silk towards the target, achieving the goal of restricting the target's movement.
3. Corrosive Mucus (Profound-grade): The Poison Spirit Spider spits out mucus with super strong corrosive properties from its mouth.
4. Web-Slinging (Profound-grade): The Poison Spirit Spider can achieve rapid movement by spitting silk far away and then pulling its body.
5. Ten Thousand Spiders (Earth-grade): The Poison Spirit Spider condenses small spiders that can automatically find targets to attack. The small spiders can self-destruct, leaving behind corrosive mucus.
Evolution Path: 1. Poison Spirit Spider → Red Spider King
2. Poison Spirit Spider → White Jade Spider Mother
Compared to the Poison Spirit Spider, which looked difficult to deal with, Luo Chen preferred the delicate-looking Purple Lightning Light Butterfly.
Perhaps to some extent, it was because Luo Chen was somewhat afraid of spiders?
“Miss Liang, I just observed that both Beasts can evolve, but now there are two Evolution Paths.
One is to evolve them according to the known Evolution Path, strictly into their existing known evolved forms.
The other is to take a gamble and evolve towards a form that has never appeared before, but compared to the existing forms, it’s hard to say which is better or worse.”
Liang Jingsi, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, was still wondering if Luo Chen would accept her evolution request.
But Luo Chen's words were no longer about the evolution request itself, but rather about what kind of evolution it would be.
Suddenly, Liang Jingsi went from one worry to another.
Seeing the fluctuating expression on Liang Jingsi's face, Luo Chen was not in a hurry to urge her, but instead sat down and calmly drank his tea.
This was the first time Luo Chen had drunk tea from his own shop; it was somewhat bitter, with no lingering sweetness. Was the tea in his shop really that bad?
No wonder he had seen them only take one sip before, and never touch the teacup again.
After a moment, Liang Jingsi's expression became firm; it seemed she had made up her mind.
“Shopkeeper Luo, I still trust your strength very much, so I want to try a new evolutionary form.”
Luo Chen smiled silently, “Since you have made your choice, let's discuss the remuneration first. The Purple Lightning Light Butterfly will cost three million spirit coins, and the Poison Spirit Spider will cost one million seven hundred thousand spirit coins.
In addition, I also need you to help me find a purchasing channel for the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly.”
The evolution of Beasts is, after all, different from directly selling Beasts, so the price will be relatively cheaper.
However, this is also very flexible, with vast differences depending on the preciousness of the evolving Beast and the value of the materials required.
“Shopkeeper Luo, materials?” Liang Jingsi asked hesitantly.
“These spirit coins already include the cost of materials.”
Hearing Luo Chen's reply, Liang Jingsi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If it didn't include materials, this evolution price would indeed be a bit too expensive.
Even masters who have been famous for a long time wouldn't charge this price for evolution, but Liuguang City didn't seem to have any masters specializing in the evolution of the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly.
Therefore, having an overly rare Beast is not entirely a good thing. If it cannot evolve naturally, finding a specialized Breeder is a difficult task.
If the Evolution Path of the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly was one of the Evolution Paths announced by Elder Zhuang, it would be fine; finding a famous Bright Moon Breeder and waiting for a period would eventually get her a spot in line.
But neither the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly nor the Poison Spirit Spider were like that, and her father had arranged too many tasks for her, so she couldn't spare the time to go to other cities to evolve the two Beasts.
Even coming to Luo Chen was an excuse she made to avoid Liang Qiu.
“Shopkeeper Luo, when will the evolution be completed?”
Luo Chen thought for a moment before replying, “Tomorrow. You can come pick them up tomorrow.”
Time passed quickly, and Liang Jingsi's eyes brightened. If her Beasts were only gone for one day, it would be easy to fool Liang Qiu.
She stroked her two Beasts, communicated with them for a while, and then bid farewell to Luo Chen.
“I'll leave these two to Shopkeeper Luo. I'll be back tomorrow.”
Luo Chen nodded and saw Liang Jingsi to the shop's entrance before returning inside.
He looked at the two small Beasts huddled together, feeling as if he were some kind of villain.
Luo Chen patted the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch, “Take these two to the Qingyou Secret Realm, feed them some spirit spring water, keep them in optimal State, and I will evolve them tonight.”
Having spent a long time in the shop, the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch had grown accustomed to being casually assigned tasks by Luo Chen.
It chattered some language Luo Chen didn't understand to the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly and the Poison Spirit Spider, then led the two little ones towards the staircase.
Luo Chen estimated that Luo Yang should also be finished by now, so he went upstairs to the second floor.
Indeed, Luo Yang was tidying up, preparing to go out.
“Where are you off to?”
Luo Yang heard Luo Chen's voice and haphazardly pulled on his half-worn shirt.
He excitedly jumped over, “Bro, you're awake. This is the reward issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and we need to collect it in person at the City Lord's Mansion. I was just about to go.”
“Then you go ahead.”
“Alright, Bro, wait for me to come back.” Luo Yang's hurried voice came from the doorway.
Luo Chen smiled silently. He was still a sixteen-year-old boy, always full of youthful vigor.
