Chapter 73 - 73 Quality Improvement Suck Suck! 1
The elixir that can increase soul energy doesn’t have any strict prerequisites
for its user.
Regardless of how strong the user’s spiritual power, anyone can consume it!
Unlike the elixirs that stimulate spiritual power, those have clear distinctions based on the strength of the user’s spiritual power.
After swallowing this potion, Fang Mu suddenly felt a warmth surge in his mind.
A large amount of misty soul energy had permeated into his soul.
Fang Mu, feeling the swell of his soul sea, immediately agreed to the Servant Soul Ant Queen’s request to absorb soul energy.
At the same time, he also imposed a limitation on the Servant Soul Ant Queen.
Fang Mu allowed the Servant Soul Ant Queen to drain the soul energy within his soul sea, except before he goes to bed.
At any other time, he must ensure that the soul energy within his soul sea remains at least halfway full.
Fang Mu is the contractor of the Servant Soul Ant Queen and he has the upper hand in this contracted relationship.
As the Servant Soul Ant Queen absorbs Fang Mu’s soul energy, it naturally becomes friendlier towards him.
Of course, it wouldn’t dare to disobey Fang Mu’s orders.
As the Servant Soul Ant Queen continues to absorb more and more of Fang Mu’s soul energy, its bond with Fang Mu will continue to deepen.
Fang Mu remembered that Cui Ruochen once told him that a soul-type Guardian Beast can communicate with its contractor through the soul after the contract has been established.
The Servant Soul Ant Queen is a soul-type Guardian Beast.
Fang Mu planned to attempt to communicate with the Servant Soul Ant.
Just then, an exceptionally weak voice of the Servant Soul Ant Queen echoed in Fang Mu’s mind.
“Mom…mom!”
“Your soul energy tastes delicious!” Mom?
What kind of calling is that!?
I’ve been acknowledged as a mother by the Guardian Beast! Have I turned into a male mother!?
And is “Your soul energy tastes delicious” a compliment or praise?
Anyway, it sounds strange in some way!
It’s as if Hannibal is complimenting the meat on his plate, saying, “You smell so good!”
Fang Mu shook his head to drive away these thoughts.
The Servant Soul Ant Queen didn’t harm his soul, but rather, it was protecting his soul.
Some malicious Guardian Beasts have the power to curse, and these curses often target the soul.
Once the Servant Soul Ant Queen builds its ant nest high and increases its power and quality,
Fang Mu will have a strong resistance against curses.
As for why the Servant Soul Ant Queen is calling him “mom”, Fang Mu soon understood.
The Servant Soul Ant is a matriarchal society.
The mother has the highest status in their group.
He is the contractor of the Servant Soul Ant Queen and provides food for her, it is normal for him to be seen as the mother by the Servant Soul Ant Queen.
If he is seen as a father, considering the status of the male ants within the ant society, he would probably have fainted.
Not only will the Servant Soul Ant Queen not seek his opinion when absorbing soul energy,
Instead, it will continually urge and oppress him, making him replenish soul energy as quickly as possible.
In the world of ants, status is determined by identity.
Being nourished daily by a bottle of soul-energy-replenishing elixir,
all Fang Mu has to do is let the Servant Soul Ant Queen drink a bit of high-purity life elixir each day.
The level of the Servant Soul Ant Queen will soon be able to increase quickly.
In the next few days, Fang Mu started his daily grind.
Between the Creator’s Guild, the “Scavenger” division, and the old factory, his life became a cycle of the three points.
The level of his creature was slowly increasing.
During this time, Fang Mu visited Dinghai Mall again.
The Purple Ice Crystal Ring allowed Fang Mu to store a large amount of supplies in one go,
after which he would not need to worry about replenishing his blood replenishing spiritual materials for a long time.
While strolling around in Dinghai Mall, Fang Mu made another trip to the Treasure Appraisal Area.
This time, Fang Mu didn’t find any bargains, but he discovered that his creature was very interested in these broken spiritual instruments.
It seemed that these broken spiritual instruments were closely tied to the upgrade in quality of Xixi.
The broken spiritual instruments for sale in the Treasure Appraisal Area were reasonably priced.
Fang Mu decided to make the most of his Dragon Cavalry Black Gold Card and scooped up a large batch of severely damaged, virtually irreparable broken spiritual instruments.
If Xixi was going to consume them as food, it was naturally best to buy as much as possible at the same price.
Xixi had always welcomed any trash thrown its way.
Over the days when Xixi consumed these broken spiritual instruments, digesting them with its metallic filaments.
Fang Mu noticed that Xixi’s chewing filaments had grown thicker than before.
The number of nodes on the metallic filaments had also increased significantly.
This had greatly accelerated Xixi’s eating speed, faster than when it advanced to a higher minor level and its eating speed increased!
Fang Mu discovered that Xixi’s quality had actually evolved while consuming these broken spiritual instruments.
It had changed from standard quality to elite quality.
If he continued to feed it spiritual instrument fragments, Xixi would transform from elite to perfect quality in no time.
And it would gain its first exclusive feature.
Even though Fang Mu hadn’t used the Dragon Cavalry Black Gold Card much over these days.
He had bought enormous quantities of items every time he did.
No matter how broken and unusable a spiritual instrument was.
It was still sold in kilograms in the Treasure Hall.
The price per kilogram was a whopping 108,000 Dragon Rising Coins.
And that was just the price for fragments of low-grade bronze spirit artifacts.
If the artifacts contained medium or high-grade bronze fragments, the price could skyrocket to 800,000 Dragon Rising Coins per kilogram.
Fang Mu chose the mixed kind and bought 500 kilograms at once.
His expenses skyrocketed to 400 million Dragon Rising Coins.
Fang Mu was at least grateful he had used the Noface Star Paper from Shui Miao to change his appearance.
Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly become a celebrity in JA City.
Lately, whenever he visited the Creator’s Guild and the Scavenger division, Fang Mu kept hearing people discussing this matter.
Although the expenditure of 400 million Dragon Rising Coins seemed extravagant.
Xixi had only consumed more than 240 kilograms in four days.
It really was a “little spendthrift”!
At this rate.
The 500 kilograms of bronze spiritual artifact fragments would last Xixi less than nine days!
Factoring in, Xixi needed to consume more than 40 million Dragon rising Coins worth of supplies every day for a quality upgrade.
It made sense why Beast Masters were said to be poor.
Naturally, this also had to do with Fang Mu choosing the optimal way to cultivate Xixi.
Otherwise, some metal parts and circuit boards could also replace spiritual artifact fragments.
However, the cultivation method greatly affected the Guardian Beast. Spending these days cultivating a Guardian Beast allowed Fang Mu to empathize with the struggle of Fang Qin, Fang Yuan, and Yan Wood.
As usual, after getting Lu Yuyu’s help to mail supplies to Fang Yuan.
Fang Mu left the Creator’s Guild, planning to go to the old factory and feed Xixi again.
All of a sudden, Fang Mu received a phone call from Qing Cang Province.
Prior to this, Fang Mu had virtually no social circle outside of school.
His social circle had only started to expand recently!
Throughout all of Qing Cang Province, the only one who knew his phone number and could call him was Feng Chenhao.
Perhaps Feng Chenhao had finally arrived in JA City!
Fang Mu answered the phone and heard a clearly Qing Cang-accented male voice on the other end.
“Is this Mr. Jianmu?”
“I’ve arrived in JA City. Are you currently free?”
“If it’s convenient, I’d like to meet with you!” “Also, I brought quite a lot of stuff to show my sincerity to cooperate.”
“I would appreciate it if you could take a look!”
