"My owner has discovered that I can grow bigger! I want to give my owner a surprise!"
Tao Yao pouted in dissatisfaction.
The other elves looked at each other, then clapped their hands with smiles:
"Now that we've grown bigger, we can get closer to our master's master. What's bothering you, Lady Taoyao?"
Tao Yao blinked, thinking that her companion's words made sense, and a smile returned to her face.
After thinking for a moment, she flew up from where she was and came to Lin Xu.
"Master, look at how I look now!"
Tao Yao twirled around in front of Lin Xu:
“I’ve grown up again! Soon, I’ll be the same height as my owner, and then…”
At this point, Tao Yao's cheeks flushed, and she looked rather shy.
Lin Xu knew what Tao Yao was thinking.
However, he only had a slightly improper thought when he first met Tao Yao.
Since spending more time with Tao Yao, his feelings for her have faded considerably.
It wasn't for any other reason than that, because in my previous life, the education I received taught that having sex with someone mentally challenged was illegal.
Tao Yao isn't very bright. Lin Xu always couldn't help but pet her like a pet. He couldn't imagine that she would have the charming and alluring appearance of a real woman when she turned to life size.
Tao Yao noticed Lin Xu's expression. Although she wasn't the particularly intelligent type, her female instincts still made her feel a bit annoyed, realizing that Lin Xu seemed to be thinking about something particularly rude.
Thinking this, Tao Yao puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, then her eyes darted around and she revealed a mischievous smile.
She's not some clueless, silly elf.
In fact, after Lin Xu went to sleep, she secretly got up and peeked at the books Lin Xu had brought.
She had seen many of the methods used by sly foxes to seduce men in books that made her blush.
With a mischievous grin on her face, Tao Yao thought to herself:
"I learned those human women's techniques in no time."
"Once I have a human-sized body, I will show it off to my master."
"My master will definitely be unable to resist his animalistic desires and will do all sorts of things with me!"
Tao Yao's face turned bright red with excitement, and she gave Lin Xu a seductive glare.
"Master will definitely become very bad then! What a wicked master!"
Lin Xu, unaware of Tao Yao's thoughts, put down the crystal and casually patted Tao Yao's head again.
“You’ve all grown bigger. It seems we really need to prepare separate rooms as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you continue to grow, my bed won’t be able to accommodate everyone.”
Upon hearing this, Tao Yao raised her chin, revealing a hint of smugness:
"No, Master, look at me!"
As he said this, Lin Xu suddenly felt a surge of life force emanating from Tao Yao.
The next moment, Tao Yao's body shrank rapidly, returning to her original size.
Tao Yao put her hands on her hips:
"Master, this is an advanced application of life force! We learned this method after we ate that peach. Now we can freely change size and stay in your room forever!"
Lin Xu looked at Tao Yao in surprise.
I never expected Tao Yao and the others to have such methods.
As Lin Xu observed Tao Yao's method of utilizing life force, he gained a sudden realization.
He had two life abilities that he hadn't unlocked before.
One of them has just been unlocked: the life-draining ability.
The other ability remains unknown, and its nature is still unknown.
It now seems that this last life ability is mostly similar to Tao Yao's ability.
It might be the ability to manipulate changes in one's own life force and adjust one's own body.
Lin Xu couldn't help but look forward to the upgrade of his life ability.
If he were to acquire this ability, it would be very useful, whether he were to grow bigger or smaller.
Moreover, if vitality is used in a refined way, it is definitely not just about becoming bigger or smaller. Perhaps he can gradually develop some more advanced and powerful methods.
Lin Xu couldn't help but laugh:
"Taoyao, you're such a lucky star! You've helped me understand so many things!"
Tao Yao blinked her eyes rapidly, not knowing what Lin Xu was referring to.
But she was still very happy to receive such praise from her master, and she flew up again, flitting around in front of Lin Xu, her body shrinking back to half a meter in size.
Lin Xu played with Tao Yao for a while, then said he had important things to do. Tao Yao reluctantly stepped aside, curiously watching Lin Xu's actions.
Lin Xu then reached out again and aimed at the earth vein crystal, preparing to begin its infusion.
This time, he wasted no time and directly activated his innate ability to enlighten, causing the crystal to change rapidly.
The next moment, the life force within his body began to surge wildly, rushing rapidly toward the crystal along the direction he was in.
Lin Xu's brows furrowed slightly.
He had anticipated this situation.
Each enlightenment does indeed consume a great deal of his life force, which is why he needs a period of time to recover before he can use the enlightenment ability again.
However, compared to last time, his ability to control and endure has improved significantly. The enlightenment process is no longer as reckless and based almost entirely on instinct as it was last time.
His life force was not consumed too quickly, preventing him from losing control of himself.
On the contrary, because he awakened the new characteristics of his life ability, he has a significantly stronger ability to control the surge of life force. Now that he is pouring life force into it and beginning to enlighten, he can precisely control the speed of enlightenment.
By deliberately restricting his life force, Lin Xu slowed down the flow of his life force and did not rush it into the crystal.
Doing so will definitely slow down the initiation process, but it will not affect the final result.
Lin Xu did this mainly to verify the idea that had just popped into his head.
At this moment, while releasing his life force to enlighten others, he also shifted his attention to the large peach in his other hand.
He wanted to try to see if he could absorb life force while expending his own life force to awaken it, and whether this would directly offset his own consumption.
If successful, he will not lose his own essence even if he devotes all his efforts to enlightenment in the future. The enlightenment ability will then have no cooldown time, and he can use it at will as long as he has the right items.
Lin Xu held this idea in his mind, so he was very dedicated to the experiment. With his other hand holding a peach, he quickly used Life Absorption.
The next moment, the peach began to change rapidly.
Lin Xu directly absorbed the life force inside the peach, and he felt that his body had indeed recovered some vitality. The life essence consumed by the enlightenment was actually replenished.
"There is hope!"
Lin Xu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but accelerate his absorption of the peach's life force.
The surface of the peach began to quickly become dull, and then the entire peach began to shrivel and decay.
About half a minute later, the entire peach went limp and collapsed, turning into a yellowish-brown substance that drifted from Lin Xu's hand and fell to the ground.
The life force of the entire peach has been completely absorbed.
Lin Xu had originally focused his attention on the experiment of the initiation process, but seeing the effect of life absorption, he was slightly startled, and then somewhat delighted.
This effect of absorbing life force is quite powerful.
If this move were used on an enemy, it could definitely reduce their combat power quickly, or even suck them into a handful of dust.
It seems that the life-saving ability is not the logistical ability that was rumored at all. If this ability were used in combat, it would be just as deadly.
After absorbing a large peach, Lin Xu felt that his life essence had been partially replenished, but it was still far from enough compared to the consumption of his initialization.
But Lin Xu lacks everything except big peaches.
With a flick of his wrist, another large peach appeared in his empty hand.
Lin Xu also absorbed the life force from the peach to replenish his own energy.
This process continued, and with Tao Yao watching with great curiosity, Lin Xu persisted in giving guidance for at least two hours.
Once the initiation process completely stopped, Lin Xu's life force ceased to be consumed, and he had already absorbed more than 150 large peaches.
Such a high level of energy expenditure is even enough to give an ordinary person a lifespan of over 150 years.
However, doing so naturally has its benefits. Lin Xu felt that his life essence was still very abundant, and even after going through the enlightenment process, his losses were still minimal.
In this way, although he still needs to rest for a while after the enlightenment, it is almost as if there is no cooldown time, and he can use the enlightenment ability continuously.
If he continues to perform enlightenment in the future, as long as he prepares enough "offerings" such as large peaches, he can quickly and successfully enlighten what he wants to change.
At this moment, Lin Xu completed the enlightenment and turned his gaze to the crystal in front of him.
The initiation process is now complete, and the crystal is rapidly changing shape...
