Chapter 40

All of a sudden, the light spots seemed to be attracted by something and rushed to Lin Xuan’s side. He could clearly feel the power surging in the light spots.

There were red, blue, green, brown, and so on. The red ones were like flames, shining with hot elements like a small furnace. Lin Xuan’s body temperature kept rising.

In the next second, the blue light instantly calmed the dry heat. Like a spring in the mountains, that trickle of water immediately rippled in his heart.

On the other hand, the green one was full of vitality. It was as if he was in an ancient forest. The vast trees came into view, and the vigorous vitality was blooming at this moment.

Lin Xuan was caught in a dilemma, not knowing which one to choose.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xuan chose the brown spot that was the most active.

He slowly reached out his hand to touch the brown light.

“Bang!”

In an instant, it was as if lightning had struck the earth and the fire had ignited. Something seemed to have exploded, and a deafening sound rang in his ears. A huge black Vortex suddenly appeared in front of him, sucking him in instantly.

Lin Xuan felt a strong sense of weightlessness. He opened his eyes and realized that he was still in the treasure vault, as if everything was an illusion.

He couldn’t help but sigh,”could it be a dream… Isn’t that a little too realistic?”

However, the power surging in his body reminded Lin Xuan that this was not a dream. A Wisp of True Energy slowly floated out, similar to Xie Yixuan’s.

The True Energy surrounded Lin Xuan, forming a sharp contrast with the Turtle Shell. Lin Xuan felt that his entire body had undergone a huge change, and he could feel the Spirit Qi in the world better.

[The Host has successfully consumed the Awakening Herb.]

[Host has been promoted to an Earth-grade Demonic Beast.]

[Host has obtained the skill: Spiritual Plant Perception]

[Host has reached the Evolution conditions.]

Lin Xuan was almost drowned by the series of system notifications.

“What is this Spiritual Plant Perception?”

After reading the system’s introduction, Lin Xuan’s eyes widened and he could not help but exclaim, “With this skill, it’s like I have a radar that can automatically detect Spiritual Plants.”

From then on, he could sense all kinds of plants with Spirit Qi. It was simply too convenient. As he progressed further, Lin Xuan would definitely need all kinds of Spirit plants if he wanted to level up. With this, he had nothing to worry about.

This successful advancement meant that Lin Xuan could use and release his True Energy, just like Xie Yixuan.

One had to know that True Qi was extremely useful. Not only could it be released, but it could also be transformed into various means of attack or defense. In short, there were many benefits.

Probably because of the upgrade, the system determined that Lin Xuan could evolve again.

He had already chosen to defend. He had also added points to defense, so he naturally wouldn’t give up halfway. He was definitely going to walk this path to the end.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and chose the Earth Vein Spirit Turtle, which had the strongest defense.

[The Host has chosen the Earth Vein Spirit Turtle.]

[System upgrading in progress]

[More features will be available soon. Stay tuned.]

Lin Xuan saw the sudden notification and was stunned. So the system had to be upgraded too.

Most importantly, after this upgrade, the system would have many new functions, which made Lin Xuan look forward to it.

He quickly opened his attribute panel.

[Host: Lin Xuan]

[Level: 23]

[Stage: Rank 3 Earth Class]

[Species: Earth Vein Spirit Turtle (Evolvable)]

[Innate Skills: Turtle Aura Level 25, Turtle Shell Level 23, Devouring Evolution Level 20]

[Normal Skills: Hardened Skin Level 19, Acute Hearing Level 17, Powerful Thrust Level 19, Defensive Rebound Level 18, Numbing Level 17, Spiritual Plant Perception Level 1]

[Agility: 60]

[Hardness (Physical Defense): 500]

[Endurance (Magic Resistance): 300]

[HP (Vitality Strength): 400]

[Lifespan (The estimated number of years that one will die of old age): 600]

[ATK: 50]

[Available Attribute Points: 0]

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but gasp as he looked at the numbers on the panel.

All of his attributes had increased greatly, even his lifespan, which had not changed all this while, had increased by 100. One could see how much benefit breaking through from the Black Level to the Earth Level had brought him.

Lin Xuan was just one step away from breaking through. With the power of the Awakening Herb, not only did he break through, but he even jumped three levels. If news of this speed were to spread, many demonic beasts would be envious.

He had also taken everything from the treasure vault. He ate whatever he could eat and stored everything he couldn’t in the origin space.

It was clearly Xie Zhenlin’s birthday, but the biggest winner had become Lin Xuan. All of the birthday gifts, including Xie Zhenlin’s many years of private collection, were all kept in Lin Xuan’s interspace.

If Xie Yixuan had known that this would be the outcome, he would not have left Lin Xuan here. He was inviting a Wolf into his house.

However, this was a story for another time.

After plundering everything, Lin Xuan closed the boxes again and filled them up with some random scraps. Other than the things inside missing, there was nothing unusual on the outside.

More than ten hours had passed by the time he was done.

Seeing that the effect of the paralysis was beginning to dissipate, the foot soldier gradually woke up and let out a groan.

Lin Xuan could have used this time to leave, but he rolled his eyes and lay back on the ground, using pseudocide.

At the same time, an excellent revenge plan appeared in his mind.

The treasures in the Treasury alone were not enough to compensate for the losses he had suffered from being shot by these people’s arrows, poisoned, and even burned.

No matter what, he had to teach them a deep lesson and let them know that tortoises were not to be trifled with.

“City Lord, aren’t you celebrating your birthday? Then let me give you an unforgettable birthday banquet.”
