Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 1198: Moon Empress’ Opportunity at Immortality!

When Lin Yuan saw the Lifespan Mouse’s abilities, he was stunned.

A moment later, he could not help but slap his leg.

He was usually civilized but could not help but curse at this moment, “What the hell? How is this fey real?”

The Lifespan Mouse’s Normal ability was Knotted Lifespan.

[Knotted Lifespan]: The Lifespan Mouse’s lifespan will be tied together with its contractor’s lifespan. When its contractor’s lifespan is at its end, the Lifespan Mouse can transfer its lifespan to its contractor to replenish their lifespan. When one of them dies, the other will also die. (Due to the construction of the Lifespan Mouse’s body, it cannot increase its power or gain new abilities and exclusive skills. Its life rank also cannot be increased.)

This description did not seem extraordinary as it only seemed to tie two lifespans together.

When both lifeforms were alive, their lifespans would be reduced at half their original rate.

However, after the squirrel transformed into a fey, it had another innate ability. This innate ability was to consume and digest items that contained vitality. It would then store the vitality in its body.

When this ability was used in conjunction with Knotted Lifespan, the Lifespan Mouse’s capabilities transcended what they appeared to be.

As long as it continuously ate spiritual ingredients that contained vitality, its lifespan would not deplete, and its contractor would not have to worry about dying due to the passage of time.

Since the beginning of time, this had always been an unrealistic hope.

Not even thearch-class experts had an unlimited lifespan, albeit they lived much longer than the average person.

After the world became filled with spirit qi, normal people could live to 100 or even 110 years old as long as they were not afflicted by illness. It was also not uncommon for people with longer lifespans to live to 130 years old.

If the person were an A-rank king-class spirit qi professional, they would even be able to live to 160 years old without issue.

Emperor-class experts who knew how to take care of themselves would even be able to live to 180 years old.

Once a spirit qi professional reached S-rank and was thearch-class with a Creation Breed fey, they could even live to 250 years old as long as nothing damaged their roots.

This was one of the key reasons why thearch-class power was so important to top factions.

As long as a thearch-class expert steadily improved themselves without doing anything that would put their lives at risk, they could guarantee 250 years of service to the top faction.

However, all living beings had to live by the laws of nature. All creatures, strong or weak, outstanding or unassuming, could only live as well as they could within the lifespan that was given to them.

Even people as strong as thearch-class experts would eventually end up six feet underground and become nothing more than fertilizer for the soil.

However, the Lifespan Mouse’s appearance broke this cardinal law of nature and offered the chance at true immortality.

Lin Yuan did not believe that the thirst for immortality would be nonexistent in a world where people formed contracts with feys to use them as weapons.

Even he had considered immortality when he first reached this world and came to understand it.

He could imagine how hopeless and lonely an expert would feel when they had reached the end of their lifespan. They would probably be willing to do anything as long as it meant they could extend their life.

If the Lifespan Mouse appeared before the dying expert, they would surely go mad, driven by their desire to give up anything in order to extend their life.

The Lifespan Mouse’s ability touched on every living creature’s desire to live.

Nonetheless, the Lifespan Mouse was not without its faults. It had two drawbacks.

Firstly, its power would forever be stuck at Normal I/Normal. This meant that its contractor would always have a Normal I/Normal fey amongst his contracted feys.

Secondly, Knotted Lifespan tied the Lifespan Mouse and its contractor’s lifespans together. The death of one would result in the death of this other.

This meant that the death of the Lifespan Mouse would cause its contractor to die immediately.

The Normal I/Normal Lifespan Mouse was too weak, and many children would have the strength to crush it to death.

However, these two issues were not problems in Lin Yuan’s mind as he could keep it in the Spirit Lock spatial zone after contracting it.

Although it needed to consume spiritual ingredients that contained vitality, it could consume them inside a fey storage box.

As such, he would not have to worry about the Lifespan Mouse coming into any danger.

Since the Lifespan Mouse was only Normal I/Normal, Lin Yuan did not have to worry about it eating up too much of its spiritual energy, and he even had the means to contract it now.

He also did not have to worry about obtaining vitality-containing spiritual ingredients as they were expensive but common.

No expert that got their hands on the Lifespan Mouse would have to worry about finding food for it.

At that moment, the Moon Empress came to Lin Yuan’s mind.

He felt that the Moon Empress was the best person to contract the Lifespan Mouse.

He, Chu Ci, Liu Jie, Wen Yu, and the rest were all around their 20s and still had more than 100 years in their lifespans.

Their lives were just beginning, and they had no reason to worry about dying of old age as of yet.

Lin Yuan did not know exactly how old the Moon Empress was as she always had the countenance of a young woman.

However, she was definitely up in years.

After all, decades had already passed since she became a member of royalty and built the Radiant Moon Palace on Leaning Moon Mountain.

Once she contracted the Lifespan Mouse, she would never have to worry about dying of old age again.
