CHAPTER 340: CHAPTER 289 SELECTING LEGENDARY RESOURCES_2

It seemed to notice Chen Mo’s worries, the Life Ancient Tree smiled and said:

"There’s no need to worry. What hatches from the Spirit Beast Egg is a brand new life, with no memories of a past life. You could say it is the Ancestor Deer Spirit and yet not fully."

"This kind of Spiritual Beast, the Ancestor Deer Spirit, just before death, will gather all of its life essence and soul fragments into a Spirit Beast Egg form once again, somewhat similar to the rebirth of the Phoenix Clan."

"And although the reincarnated Ancestor Deer Spirit does not have past life memories, it will inherit the former life’s talents, potentially with even higher racial potential! Once it hatches, it can quickly regain its former strength."

"Of course, this kind of rebirth carries significant risks. It requires absorbing vast amounts of life energy to possibly hatch. Otherwise, it remains unhatched, equating to truly dying."

"Bai Jin probably didn’t have time to prepare beforehand, luckily running into you."

"Understood."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Then I’ll trouble Senior to assist with the hatching."

"That’s natural. Bai Jin is also an old friend of mine, even if you hadn’t asked, I would have helped."

As soon as the words were spoken, a blue glow rose from the surface of the Spirit Beast Egg, lifting it into a nearby stream.

This stream flowed entirely with Life Water.

And under the cleansing of the Life Water, the Spirit Beast Egg which had developed gray spots started to regain vitality.

"The hatching of the Ancestor Spirit Deer will take some time, maybe months or even years. For now, let it stay here! When it’s about to hatch, I will notify you."

After finishing, Chen Mo saw a palm-sized leaf fall from above. The leaf was entirely verdant, with clear veins, feeling cold to the touch yet containing immense vitality.

"Once you see this leaf emitting a golden glow, it means your Spirit Beast Egg is about to hatch. However, this change will only manifest in the Spirit Realm, since the world you are in is too far from the Qingqiu Secret Realm, I can’t sense the connection with the leaf."

The Life Ancient Tree reminded.

"I understand, thank you, Senior."

"No need to thank me. But I haven’t eaten for years now. I didn’t eat enough just now, could you make me another serving?"

"No problem!"

"Rest assured, you will benefit from it."

Saying so, the body of the Life Ancient Tree swayed slightly, shaking down two Life Fruits.

"Compensation."

The green-haired man said calmly.

Chen Mo was pleasantly surprised.

Senior Chun is so magnanimous!

Indeed, all the living totems or mythical creatures alive now are tremendously wealthy!

Then, the voice of the Life Ancient Tree came to his ear again:

"Next time you have the chance, come visit more often. I’ve got more Life Fruits here than I can possibly eat!"

"Certainly!"

After handling the Spirit Beast Egg affairs, Chen Mo set off for Bai Ze Spirit University the next day.

Back on Blue Star, he was quite busy indeed.

The main campus of Bai Ze Spirit University is located in Yunzhou, the smallest of the nine states of the Eastern Mainland of Spirit Realm, accessible through the Yunzhao Secret Realm.

The Yunzhao Secret Realm is largely covered in tropical forests, with lush vegetation, home to many rare Spiritual Beasts.

Upon entering the secret realm, Chen Mo saw a sophisticated woman among the towering trees, dressed in a black teacher’s uniform and wearing glasses.

Luo Jiangyue happened to have no afternoon classes, so she led Chen Mo to select the legendary resources.

The two ventured deep into the forest.

Bai Ze Spirit University was located deep within this tropical forest, with the school buildings achieving a forest style, and both the teaching and dormitory buildings were towering trees.

Under the guidance of Luo Jiangyue, Chen Mo came in front of an Overlord Snapjaw Flower soaring into the clouds.

Bai Ze Spirit University’s treasure vault was inside this Overlord Snapjaw Flower.

The appearance of this Overlord Snapjaw Flower is somewhat reminiscent of the Snapjaw in Plants vs. Zombies but standing a hundred meters tall and even more menacing, with gigantic trumpet mouths and extending vine-like tentacles with frighteningly large "mouths" at their ends.

Chen Mo scanned with his Spirit Control Bracelet, and with the advancements over time, this bracelet could now scan information of Overlord Level Spiritual Beasts.

[Spiritual Beast Name: Overlord Snapjaw Flower]

[Growth Level: Overlord Third Rank]

[Species Level: Overlord Third Rank]

[Description: The evolved form of the Snapjaw, possessing countless razor-sharp mouths. It is said to have a massive internal space accessed through specific "mouths." Entering the wrong "mouth" leads directly to the Snapjaw Flower’s digestive tract. Its potent corrosive acids can instantly disintegrate any material, even Spiritual Power.]

From Luo Jiangyue’s words, Chen Mo learned that this Overlord Snapjaw Flower is named Snapjaw, it was the spirit beast of Bai Ze University’s first principal, and after the principal’s death, it became the guardian spirit beast of Bai Ze University.

This situation isn’t uncommon.

Before the Spirit Era, human lifespans generally exceeded those of pets.

People kept cats and dogs, but no matter how well they were cared for, these pets often accompanied them for only a few decades at most.

For these pets, the owner might be their entire world.

But after entering the Spirit Era, the situation reversed.

Spirit Beasts generally have much longer lifespans than Spirit Masters do.

Especially Monarch Level and above Spirit Beasts, most have several hundred years of life.

In their long lifetimes, Spirit Masters often pass away first.

However, most Spirit Beasts forming a contract with Spirit Masters value emotions deeply, so even though the contract dissolves, the bond between them does not end.

Most would choose not to form new contracts with other Spirit Masters but instead quietly guard what their owners once cherished.

Seeming to sense their approach, one of Snapjaw Flower’s tendrils descended, and the "mouth" at its end suddenly moved closer to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn’t retreat, sensing no malice from Snapjaw Flower.

"Hiss~" (Hello~)

The Overlord Snapjaw Flower made a serpent-like sound, gently rubbing against the little blue bird.

Because the little blue bird was equipped with the [Child of the Forest] entry, the Snapjaw Flower felt a sense of kinship and greeted it in return.

"Cheep?"

The ice phoenix, donning sunglasses with an artistic aura, was bewildered, as it was basking in its elegance just a moment ago, only to be drenched in "saliva" the next?

"Despite the fierce looks, Senior Snapjaw is actually a gentle giant."

Luo Jiangyue said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded.

I’m ugly, but I’m gentle!

"Follow me! The treasure vault we are about to enter is inside Senior Snapjaw."

Luo Jiangyue said with a smile.

Having previously communicated with the Overlord Snapjaw Flower, it lowered a certain tendril in front of them, ending in a massive mouth over four meters high.

This large mouth was the correct entrance to enter Snapjaw Flower’s internal space.

After a two-minute "slide," Chen Mo and Luo Jiangyue arrived in some "room" inside the Overlord Snapjaw Flower.

The room resembled a museum exhibit, surrounded by numerous rare treasures, with their feet on a soft substance that seemed like some sort of fiber.

"Begin with a general view! The collection here consists of the most precious acquisitions of Bai Ze University over the years. You can select two items from here."

Luo Jiangyue said with a smile.

Chen Mo made a quick survey and discovered that the legendary resources at Bai Ze University seem a bit lacking.

Although almost 50 treasures were displayed, there were only 12 legendary resources overall.

Wouldn’t he take them all if he participated in a few rounds of the World Championships?

Apparently noticing his thoughts, Luo Jiangyue said helplessly:

"You think legendary resources grow on trees? I’ve only ever obtained one legendary resource after all this career."

Legendary resources correspond to Overlord Level Spirit Beasts, usually used as enhancement resources for Overlord Level Spirit Beasts or materials for breakthroughs from the Monarch Stage to the Dominator Stage.

These are often hard to come by, needing exchange with other rare items.
