Start With Contracting Sprites Chapter 262 – Feathers and Pearls (First Update)

Chapter 262: Feathers and Pearls (First Update)

Its evolved form was similar to the Dazed Crow’s current appearance.

But there was a huge difference between the inner cores.

“Just as the introduction said, the third-stage evolved Flaming Spiritcrow is born with a stronger light golden flame. The feathers on its body also contain extraordinary energy. If a feather is plucked, it can be used as a treasure to nurture fire-element sprites.”

He recalled that when the Dazed Crow was just in its initial form, it had been nurtured for a period of time with the feather of a fire-element sprite.

At that time, the value of that feather was only slightly lower than the Heart of Secondary Attributes.

And if the Dazed Crow completed the Sun Evolution…

“By then, every feather on its body would be pretty good materials, right?”

A picture of Dazed Crow having its feathers plucked appeared in his mind. It was too beautiful. He shook his head to shake it off.

He returned his gaze to the treasures around him. At the same time, he extracted the few treasures that were the most difficult to obtain in the Sun Evolution. Right now, he was analyzing the uses of those treasures in the evolution plan.

There were mainly three types.

Feather of the Fire God!

Sun Essence!

Flaming Crown!

The names were just rough titles. What he was looking for was a treasure with similar functions and characteristics.

“The Flaming Crown is the hardest to find. I’ve never heard of it even though I’m so knowledgeable. The surroundings…” He ignored the occasional “Ding-Dong, Intelligence Points+1” sound. His gaze swept across the various treasures, searching for one that looked similar to the “Flaming Crown” in his plans.

However, Su Hao was slightly disappointed.

“How is this the Dragon Nation’s central treasury!?” But he was also clear that treasures must have a prerequisite to enter the treasury – those that were not needed, those that were used, and those that were left behind. If a Heavenly King-tier treasure was discovered, it would had already been used. How could they possibly keep it until now?

Even so, the area where fire-element treasures were stored was not small.

He walked back and forth twice. “I did see three Sun Essences, but… the quality isn’t enough.”

In fact, it was enough for the Sun’s Evolution. Unfortunately, he had a little OCD. The cultivation plan was perfect, and he wanted the evolution plan to be perfect as well.

The quality of the Sun’s Essence had to be higher. Full marks and above was the requirement, 70 to 80 points was not enough.

He passed by treasures one by one, and when he saw something similar, he stopped… and took a few more looks at the interface. After a moment, he stopped in front of a cabinet on the left side of the fire-element treasure area.

Inside, a scarlet feather the size of an adult’s arm was quietly placed there.

The red feather bent slightly, and its every thread flowed with brilliance. Circles of red halos spread out, and most of them were blocked by the special cabinet, leaving only some red light shining out of it.

It felt a little warm.

Su Hao looked at the introduction on the bottom of the cabinet.

[Nameless Red Feather]: A feather, condensed with a large amount of essence, obtained from a crown sprite.

It wasn’t an ordinary feather that was casually plucked from a sprite’s body!

It highlighted its characteristics: rare, precious.

The information on the interface was more detailed. He glanced at it four to five to six times to confirm…

“The Nameless Red Feather completely meets the ‘Feather of the Fire God’ requirement for the Sun’s Evolution. Well, there’s no rush. We have to compare.”

He found two other feathers, also left behind by a Crown Sprite. One was dark red, while the other was brownish red. After comparing them, he still felt that… the Nameless Red Feather was the most suitable… and the most valuable.

That was it.

After selecting one treasure, Su Hao looked at the time. 32 minutes had already passed.

“We have to hurry up. If we still have time left after selecting, it’s best to go through the whole treasure vault and get some Intelligence Points.”

He opened Butterfly’s information and pulled down to the advanced evolution column.

The pathways leading in different directions appeared in his eyes.

Illusionary Evolution: 98%!

Cloud Dream Evolution: 98%!

…

Spiritual Evolution: 82%!

…

Light Evolution: 76%!

…

He still needed to use nine Intelligence Points to obtain general information about the various pathways.

But now, Su Hao hesitated.

“Both the Illusionary Evolution and the Cloud Dream Evolution are very suitable for Butterfly. Which one should I purchase?”

He thought for two seconds and made his choice. “Since I can’t make a decision, I shall buy all of them!”

He could only use one plan so buying two was naturally a waste, but the evolution of Butterfly… was the most important thing among spiritual life forms. Let it be a waste even though he felt that it was indeed a waste.

It was worth it!

“Unlock: Illusionary Evolution.”

“Ding! With 11 Intelligence Points deducted, the plan is now unlocked.”

In an instant, countless information poured into his mind. His eyes closed unconsciously, and as if he was passing through a space-time tunnel, his ‘vision’ exploded.

Pavilion and jade buildings quickly formed like building blocks, with countless plants and flowers blooming.

One moment, it was still a fake illusion but the next moment, it became extremely real.

He could feel the temperature of the torch, the thickness of the earth, the sprouts breaking out of the ground, water splashing towards him, and the gentle wind brushing past his face…

Countless butterfly fairy-like figures flew out from various places. Their figures suddenly disappeared, then appeared, as if there were thousands of them. A few seconds later, the thousands of figures returned to one single figure. A Butterfly Fairy whose aura became increasingly illusionary and whose figure increased by 20 to 30 centimeters appeared leisurely.

It made a crisp sound.

Illusionary Butterfly Fairy (changeable)!

Su Hao opened his eyes and took a break. He let his brain rest for a moment before opening the interface again.

“Unlock: Cloud Dream Evolution.”

“Ding! With 8 (11) Intelligence Points deducted, the plan is now unlocked.”

Instantly, information flooded into his mind again.

Within an hour, three very advanced evolution plans, with countless knowledge injected into them, made his brain somewhat swollen.

Information was still being sent in, and he felt as though he was immersed in endless mist.

It was misty and dreamy.

At times, the Butterfly Fairy transformed into a tiger, lion, and leopard. At other times, a huge dragon could be seen flying out of the mist before hiding in the mist again.

From time to time, he saw the clouds turning into sabers, swords, spears, and other weapons. From time to time, the mist turned into a hazy scene. It was like a dream, with a blurry figure shuttling through the scenes.

With a thought, dream realms appeared. With a thought, the dream realms were destroyed like bubbles.

In the end, the figure that appeared in his eyes was still covered in a thin layer of mist. It was hazy, but he could vaguely see that the Butterfly Fairy in front of him had also… grown taller.

That crisp and pleasant voice kept echoing in his mind.

Cloud Dream Butterfly Fairy (changeable)!

…

Su Hao stood on the spot, his expression becoming more and more conflicted.

He still couldn’t decide which plan to use!

“Both development directions have great potential. One focuses on the application of illusion changing abilities, while the other focuses on shuttling through dreams… But the two evolution forms also have something in common.”

For example, change!

Illusions and reality were always changing, while dream realms were also always changing.

There was one common material in both evolution plans.

— Transformation Pearl!

Similar to the Feather of the Fire God, it was not only a material needed for evolution, it was also a high-level equipment for sprites.

Coincidentally, he discovered a Transformation Pearl in the treasure vault!

“It’s you!”

In the miscellaneous area, Su Hao stopped in front of a cabinet and looked inside. On the box was a pearl slightly bigger than a ping pong ball. The sparkling white pearl looked like a jade.

Although the pearl looked precious, it looked relatively ordinary among the pile of treasures emitting the message “I’m very valuable”. Its level was slightly lower.

The description in front of the cabinet was also vague and confusing.

“It’s not the time for advanced evolution yet, but the two treasures can also be of great help to the increase in strength of Butterfly and Dazed Crow.”

…

Ten minutes later.

Under Heavenly King Gong’s planning procedure, Su Hao and the other students got the treasures they wanted one by one.

Su Hao looked at the two items in front of him.

The “Nameless Red Feather” was stored in a long box half a meter long. When the lid was closed, no red light spread out.

The “Transformation Bead” was simple. When he was playing with it in his hand, it was just a precious pearl without any special effects.

When he mentioned that he wanted the “Transformation Bead”, Heavenly King Gong even specially mentioned, “With the Transformation Bead, at first glance, it can extend many nature changes for the sprite, but the effect is weak and very invaluable. Do you still want to choose the Transformation Bead?”

Su Hao expressed his affirmation.

He knew that Heavenly King Gong was right.

The “Transformation Bead” could change the nature of a sprite’s spiritual force. It was a very strong bug at first glance, but what if the effect of the change was very, very weak?

It was tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to abandon it.

But when Su Hao brought it over, its base function was also a condiment for Butterfly’s evolution… Tsk, a main ingredient.

“Besides, Butterfly has already pretty much developed the Sea Serpent Bead. Let’s give it a Transformation Bead to study, Butterfly will definitely like it very much, yes!”
