Chapter 1040: Cloudy Weather Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios “Luckily, you don’t need any more heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have enough for you.” Previously, if all the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in the Spirit Lock spatial zone were used up, Lin Yuan would still have some in storage. But now, he did not have a single heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl besides those that the seven Bronze/Legend Elemental Shellfish were currently producing. Gray proclaimed in a clingy tone, “Dad, I love you.” The crane silhouette wrapped in light mist moved toward Lin Yuan, and he soon felt a weight land in his arms. He felt a pair of wings wrap around him, but he could only see a cloud when he looked down. It was only when he took a closer look that he could make out the silhouette of a crane. Lin Yuan was shocked by Gray’s ability to obscure itself. He was so close to Gray but could not see it unless he focused. If Gray were flying in the sky and hidden amongst the plumes of clouds, not even feys that were skilled at surveillance would be able to spot Gray easily. Lin Yuan decided to check on Gray’s True Data to see if it had truly transformed into a Heavenly Family Fey after absorbing so much pure spirit qi and elemental energy. (Fey Name]: Sky Clouded Crane [Eey Species]: Crane species/Red Crane species [Fey Grade]: Normal (1/10) (Eey Type]: Natural [Fey Quality]: Normal Abilities: [Cloudy Weather]: The body will present itself as a cloud and will be compatible with any weather. The body can absorb the weather. Once the weather is absorbed into the cloud, it will become a new ability. No new abilities will come from evolution. Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed as his face stretched into a smile. According to Wen Yu’s information, Lin Yuan knew that he could use a fey’s type to discem if it was a Heavenly Family Fey. Amongst all the feys, only Heavenly Family Feys were natural-type. Now, Lin Yuan was certain that Gray was genuinely a Heavenly Family Fey. Lin Yuan also finally knew that Gray looked like a shapeless cloud because of the ability Cloudy Weather. Cloudy Weather could combine active and passive abilities. Gray’s current form was Cloudy Weather’s passive ability, and it amazed Lin Yuan. Heavenly Family Feys needed more than just spirit qi to evolve. They also needed energy from the natural world. This was why Heavenly Family Feys were natural-type. For example, once the Mother of Bloodbath evolved to the Sky Sundial Jade Spider, it would need to absorb energy from the sun. Unlike the Sky Sundial Jade Spider, Gray needed to absorb the energy from various weather conditions. The weather conditions could include clear weather, cloudy weather, rainy weather, snowy weather, and so on. Gray would then need to absorb the weather into its cloud and produce a new ability. This would allow Gray to create multiple new abilities. There were also limitations to the abilities that could be created. There would not be any new abilities when Gray evolved. From True Data, Lin Yuan also knew that the created abilities could be strengthened continuously. If Gray absorbed the same type of weather more than once, the ability that came from that type of weather would be strengthened. While Lin Yuan was looking at Gray’s True Data, he felt a strange spiritual fluctuation. Soon, Lin Yuan noticed that a tight link had been formed between him and Gray. The link was Gray’s method of contraction. Before Gray hatched, Lin Yuan had sliced open his palm multiple times to allow his blood to drip onto Gray’s shell. This was so that Gray would form an attachment to his bloodline and want to form a contract with him when it hatched. Gray was the first Heavenly Family Fey with which Lin Yuan had formed a contract. As a Heavenly Family Fey, Gray needed to comprehend a Willpower Rune from the environment itself. Hence, Lin Yuan would not need to prepare a Willpower Rune for it. Neither of the Willpower Runes available in Lin Yuan’s mind were suitable for Gray. “Dad, I want to eat the fish you gave me last time.” Gray looked rather bashful as it made its request, as though it felt embarrassed to be asking for food from Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan hurriedly took out the fish from the amber-button-shaped fey storage box that he had prepared for Gray. Lin Yuan had put in a lot of effort in order to help Gray put some meat on its bones. He had fed the fish feys with medicinal properties so that Gray would be nourished by the fish when it consumed them. Since Gray had suddenly turned into a shell, Lin Yuan had stored the fish that Gray had not finished eating. Ever since Gray started evolving, it had not eaten. Lin Yuan laid out the 10 fish on the ground and said, “Gray, dig in. If they are not enough, there are still 20 more in the Diamond fey storage box. Now that you’re done transforming, your body has fully recovered, and you’ll be able to eat even tastier food. I’ll prepare new food for you over the next two days.” Gray replied obediently, “Thank you, Dad. I’m going to start eating!” Lin Yuan felt the weight in his hands lift as Gray flew away. The cloud flew around the fish, and one of the fish soon disappeared. ‘The moment one of the fish disappeared, Lin Yuan caught sight of the silhouette of a crane moving. The 10 fish were soon gobbled up by Gray. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 Lin Yuan could tell that Gray was not full but was too embarrassed to say so. As such, he poured the rest of the fish into the basin..
