Chapter 1030: Chapter 491: Flower Spirit: Exhausted Beyond Blood!_2
[Possession]: Merges with the Contractor, allowing the Contractor to inherit its abilities and gain the same defensive effects and energy as itself.
Evolutionary Path:
①: Retrace Sparrow Demon (Four Winged), ②: Origin-Trace Sparrow, ③: Flow Retrospection Sparrow Demon (Two Winged).
The previous Backtracking Bell Sparrow was a Short-winged/Feathered Sparrow Type Guardian Beast.
After ascending to a spirit, the Retrace Sparrow Demon’s bloodline turned into that of the spirit branch/bird demon type.
Fang Mu was not at all surprised that the Retrace Sparrow Demon was a two-winged spirit.
...
That the Backtracking Bell Sparrow could ascend to a two-winged spirit at the Golden Stage was already the limit of its potential improvement.
Without the aid of Blood Aged Wine, it would have been impossible to achieve!
In the Battle Network’s solo battles, Hu Tao summoned this two-winged spirit of a mere Golden Stage and it was also a rare one that had transformed from a Mechanical Beast.
It was bound to stir intense discussions!
The foundation of this Retrace Sparrow Demon could already be compared to Fang Mu’s carefully cultivated Lake Flame Gemini.
The best direction on the evolutionary path is to let the Retrace Sparrow Demon aim for four wings with its current bloodline.
The second evolutionary path, Origin-Trace Sparrow, involves completely abandoning the Fairy Bloodline and becoming a purely Mechanical Beast.
From its name, the control over time by Origin-Trace Sparrow should be somewhat stronger.
But from a long-term perspective, the tier of a Fairy Bloodline is higher than the upper limit of a pure Mechanical Beast Bloodline!
The third evolutionary path also continues the Fairy Bloodline, only evolving from a Retrace Sparrow Demon (Two Winged) into a Flow Retrospection Sparrow Demon (Two Winged).
There was no improvement in the tier of the Fairy Bloodline.
This was tantamount to wasting the potential of the Retrace Sparrow Demon’s bloodline.
The skill that Retrace Sparrow Demon acquired when it ascended to the Golden Stage was called “Backtracking Double.”
“Backtracking Double” doubled the abilities of the skills “Backtracking Focus” and the exclusive feature “Retrace Assassination” when used by Retrace Sparrow Demon.
When guarding a target with “Backtracking Focus,” the target was not necessarily at full health.
In the event of the target nearly dying from a massive attack, “Backtracking Double” could not only restore the target to its previous state but also heal the target’s wounds.
It also condensed a shield on the body that could block damage.
This directly and significantly enhanced the protective ability and functionality of the Retrace Sparrow Demon.
When employing the exclusive feature “Rewind Assassination,” it would directly deepen the level of trauma to the target’s soul.
It multiplied the impact force on the target’s psyche.
It was not about stabbing the target twice with the same force, but rather about switching the knife for an axe.
The damage caused by the two was simply not comparable.
Not long after Fang Mu had nurtured the Retrace Sparrow Demon, Fang Mu felt it was showing signs of awakening.
After the Retrace Sparrow Demon woke up, Fang Mu handed it over to Hu Tao.
Grinning with sparkling eyes, Hu Tao expressed gratitude to Fang Mu and then headed to the Battle Network, ready for solo zone combat.
The first time Hu Tao commanded the Retrace Sparrow Demon in battle, she did not start a live stream.
Without much practical experience with a new Beast Master, it’s difficult to issue the right commands during a battle.
Hu Tao did not want to fail on live stream.
It would be embarrassing for herself and a letdown for the investment Fang Mu had put into the Retrace Sparrow Demon.
While Hu Tao was competing in the Battle Network, Fang Mu did not rest.
Instead, he communicated with Su Qing through the Legend Butterfly.
After the last trade with Fang Mu, Su Qing had reaped great benefits.
Su Qing did not share the Spiritual Elixirs with others in Chonghuaju.
She used them all herself.
The pure Spiritual Energy allowed Su Qing to clearly feel her own improvement.
This delightful sensation of advancement was something Su Qing immensely enjoyed.
It also deepened her desire to become closer to Fang Mu.
Su Qing had previously promised Fang Mu that she would give Qixing a Four Winged Flower Spirit.
In addition, she would choose another excellent Two Winged Flower Spirit as a personal gift to Fang Mu.
Qixing remained hidden in the shadows, dealing with the outside world through Fang Mu.
One could say that Fang Mu’s likes and dislikes directly affected the progress of a transaction.

Thus, to some extent, having a good relationship with Fang Mu was more beneficial than trying every possible way to please Qixing!
Four Winged Flower Spirits were too precious, and Su Qing truly had no way of letting Fang Mu make a selection.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, Chonghuaju had only managed to gather just over ten Four Winged Flower Spirits.
However, there were quite a number of Two Winged Flower Spirits within Chonghuaju, which could be offered to Fang Mu to freely choose from.
After all, a promise had already been made.
Rather than deciding on one for Fang Mu herself, it was better to let Fang Mu personally choose.
After all, these two options made no difference to Su Qing.
Su Qing was very willing to owe Fang Mu a favor.
“A Qing, I thank you in advance here!”
“Compared to combat-oriented Flower Spirits, I am more interested in functional ones!”
“Do you have any that can speed up blood generation or replenish blood?”
“You have seen the secret treasure that can attract the Blood Race before. This treasure requires a large amount of blood to lure the Blood Race.”
“Having a Flower Spirit that can speed up blood production or replenish blood would make it much more convenient to control this artifact.”
Of course, Su Qing had seen the artifact Fang Mu mentioned.
After such a long time, Su Qing still vividly remembered the power of that purple-black Mini Tower.
The Blood Race Queen who came into contact with that purple-black Mini Tower was directly controlled by it.
She didn’t even have the slightest chance to resist!
If it were Su Qing herself, the result would likely be the same.
Su Qing had a clear idea of what the Two Winged Flower Spirits in Chonghuaju were capable of.
Not to mention, there indeed was a Two Winged Flower Spirit within Chonghuaju that could speed up blood generation.
However, the use of this Flower Spirit’s function would cause certain negative effects.
Among the various Two Winged Flower Spirits in Chonghuaju, it was considered the least valuable.
Su Qing’s intention to give a Two Winged Flower Spirit to Fang Mu wasn’t to prevent resource outflow.
It was to foster a relationship with Fang Mu.
Therefore, Su Qing had to explain the situation with this Flower Spirit to Fang Mu in advance.
If Fang Mu couldn’t accept the negative effects of the Flower Spirit, Su Qing would introduce him to other high-quality Two Winged Flower Spirits one by one.
“Ah Mu, I won’t hide it from you, there really is a Flower Spirit here that can accelerate blood generation.”
“But this capability of speeding up blood production comes with significant drawbacks.”
“This speed-increasing ability is derived from a curse carried by a Flower Spirit known as the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit of Nirvana.”
“This curse is currently at the Hardship Level.”
“When the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit of Nirvana ascends to become a Four Winged Flower Spirit, this curse might very likely reach the Nightmare Level.”
“The curse of the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit leads to the rapid synthesis of blood from the cursed individual’s energy.”
“During the curse’s effect, the target must consume a large amount of pure Life Energy to recover their vitality.”
“Otherwise, they will experience exhaustion, anemia, and a range of other negative effects.”
“In a very short period of time, it can damage the essence and even threaten life!”
“With the current strength of the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit of Nirvana, a single curse can last for about seven days or so.”
“One of the Elders of Chonghuaju once personally tested the effect of the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit of Nirvana’s curse, and bled over a thousand liters in seven days.”
“Had it not been for Chonghuaju bringing out a large quantity of Life Elixirs to help the Elder through the ordeal, the Elder would have definitely not made it past the fourth day!”
As she spoke of the curse effect of the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit of Nirvana, Su Qing’s expression was very solemn.
Su Qing was afraid that even after explaining the stakes to Fang Mu, Fang Mu would still choose the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit and then suffer consequences himself.
Even if Fang Mu didn’t blame her, Su Qing could very well become the target of Qixing’s wrath.
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu’s face showed an ecstatic expression.
But Fang Mu’s tone didn’t change at all.
“This is very good!”
“As long as the Flower Spirit has the ability to produce blood, other matters will be decided by master himself.”
Fang Mu had plenty of Life Elixirs.
Even with the joint development of Tide Bay with Chang Le Pavilion, Fang Mu still had an abundant stock of Life Elixirs.
If he could use Life Elixirs to increase his own blood production rapidly, Fang Mu would be able to quickly solidify Contracting Blood.
Then he could form contracts with both the Guardian Beasts he was raising and the untrained Special-grade Pollutants!
