Chapter 756: Chapter 0753: Yanmu Minor Elf (Fourth Update, Celebrating 10,000 Coin Reward 2/2)
This chapter is a rewarded bonus update for “Dreamwalking Immortal”.
————
Flame Mountain was a continuous range of mountains, and the area of the mountain region might even exceed that of Coral Island; it was difficult to discern the entire forest landscape due to its varied elevations.
After five consecutive days of failing to detect any trace of the Sub-dragon Phoenix, Liszt could no longer bear the waste of time here, and decisively decided to mount Leo and use the Dragon Eye Trajectory to carefully search every corner of the forest—though dragon riding might expose his trace, he was confident no one could stop him.
Right now, his mindset was incredibly inflated; he always felt that even if he flew on dragonback from King’s Castle of the Eagle Kingdom, no one would dare to stop him.
He was just that confident and carefree.
...
After mounting the dragon and activating the Dragon Eye Trajectory, the forest of Flame Mountain was suddenly revealed in a different light. Countless magic radiance feedbacks twinkled in his vision, most of which were the light of magical beasts. Wild forests had always been the home for magical beasts. Liszt ignored these magical beasts, instead focusing primarily on two types of magic feedback.
One type was the magic radiance feedback from plants; any plant emitting light was certainly Cordyceps without a doubt, or perhaps Magic Medicine Seeds, but there would certainly be Cordyceps around them.
The other type was a bright magic radiance feedback, indicating that it was either an Advanced Magical Beast or a Super Magical Beast, or even the Sub-dragon Phoenix he was searching for with all his heart.
“Hmm, there’s a big tree over there emitting light!”
Liszt’s eyes lit up.
Leo immediately flapped his wings and dashed toward the big tree. The tree exuded a chaotic magic radiance; upon Liszt’s arrival, he suddenly discovered it was a Yanmu—a Yanmu, like Ironwood, was a fairly common type of quality timber in the Legendary Continent, but the awkward part was that these trees grew slowly.
Some Yanmu and Ironwood Cordyceps gave birth to Elf Bugs, and Elf Bugs had only a decade of life; they could only influence a period of ten years, but with a Yanmu or Ironwood taking up to a hundred years to grow, the Cordyceps’ effect was virtually nil.
“It couldn’t be a Yanmu Minor Elf, could it?” he scanned carefully and spotted a small, trembling minor elf hiding on a branch.

The minor elf was pale yellow with a fine, small wooden stick atop its head.
Leaping off the dragonback, Liszt, without even going through the process of tempting it with Jade Powder, directly extended a finger and let the minor elf, who was paralyzed by the Dragon Might and dared not move, bite it. The contract was instantly successful, and so Leo retracted his Dragon Might, and the minor elf returned to its normal liveliness, tilting its head to look at Liszt.
“Bu gu?”
“Pack up the cordyceps and follow me; I’ll take you to a place with lots of Jade Powder to settle down.” Liszt pulled out a small bag of Jade Powder and handed it to the Yanmu Minor Elf.
The deliciousness of the Jade Powder captivated the Yanmu Minor Elf, and after few smacking bites, it willingly recognized Liszt. It opened its mouth, and the huge Yanmu, which was fifty meters tall, began to shrink rapidly as if it was evaporating, soon turning into a seed that flew into the mouth of the Yanmu Minor Elf.
A deep pit was left at the original location.
“Bu gu.”
“Very good, let’s go.” Liszt handed the Yanmu Minor Elf to Ach to hold.
Stumbling upon a minor elf should have been joyful, but he wasn’t really that happy.
The value of the Yanmu Minor Elf was indeed a bit low; the main reason was the extremely long growth cycle of the Yanmu, which could not mature for dozens of years. And the minor elf could only live for a century, while Yanmu and Ironwood were scarce and low in number, severely constraining production and limiting the potential for elves to exploit their farming capabilities.
Basically, the Yanmu and Ironwood used by humans are all harvested from the primeval forests, not artificially planted.
However, picking up a minor elf was certainly better than not finding one at all. Influencing the growth of a few more Yanmu trees would be a gain. Liszt quickly adjusted his mood, “Just by dragon riding for a search, I found a minor elf. It seems like I could mount Leo every day to take a trip through the forest, making a living by picking up minor elves.”
Ach giggled, “But brother, the minor elves of the forest aren’t very valuable, are they? It is the minor elves nurtured by artificially tamed plants that are highly valuable.”
“Alright, that’s the reasoning.”
The value of elves hatched from artificially tamed plants far exceeded that of wild elves, the reason being that such tamed plants often belonged to high-value crops such as Magic Medicine Seeds, grains, fruit trees, vegetables, and raw materials. Consequently, the additional value brought about by the elves was also elevated.
The plants in the forest are mostly untamed, and even with elves, they can’t exert much effect.
Take the elf of a random wildflower, even with a Greater Elf, it could at most produce more wildflowers. When the wildflowers can’t be monetized, naturally the elves also lose their value. Unless a mutant variety of the magic potion is found, in which case the value of the elf would skyrocket instantly.
Most of the elves currently common on the elf market are sold alongside magic medicine seeds.
Therefore, imperceptibly.
The Yanmu Minor Elf has become synonymous with low price.
…
Unity of Man and Dragon, once again.
Liszt continued to look for traces of the Sub-dragon Phoenix, and after half a day, as he rounded a mountain peak, a burst of flame suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
“Hm?”
He widened his eyes sharply and saw that halfway up a not-so-prominent mountain peak stood a large tree shining like a flame, illuminated by the radiance of magic feedback.
“A Fire Attribute tree!”
“Cordyceps!”
Leo dove down swiftly, approaching the fiery tree, and at this moment, his Dragon Eye Trajectory vision caught different sights within view.
Within the fiery luminescence of the great tree were three close-knit, scarlet bright spots, exceptionally luminous.
“Could it be elf triplets again?”
The thought flashed through his mind, and he had already ridden Leo deep into the forest, leaping off just as they were about to brush past the tree canopy, jumping towards the location of the three bright red spots. It wasn’t until he got closer that he realized it wasn’t triplets but a bird’s nest.
In the nest lay three quiet eggs covered in red patterns, each as large as an ostrich egg.
With the Eye of Magic still activated, he could see the eggs contained an intensely concentrated Fire Attribute Mana, and judging by the color of the mana, this was not Low Magic, but High Magic.
In an instant.
Liszt understood the identity of the eggs: “Phoenix Eggs!”
Only the Sub-dragon Phoenix could have such rich Fire Attribute High Magic. Not knowing where the Sub-dragon Phoenix was, these three eggs and this nest were certainly not something it would abandon. By guarding this place, the Sub-dragon Phoenix would also become Liszt’s for the taking.
A snap of the fingers.
Leo, already carrying Ach, flew over again. Ach jumped down to the ground while Leo transformed into a flame and rushed into Liszt’s chest.
“Ach, the nest and eggs of the Sub-dragon Phoenix have been found. We’ll wait here and catch it unaware, waiting for the Sub-dragon Phoenix to arrive!”
“Hmm.”
“Oho!” cried out Leo, in its Magic Form, eagerly, indicating it wanted to eat the Phoenix Eggs, and claimed this was agreed with Liszt beforehand.
“Be patient, the Phoenix Eggs are for fishing, you understand fishing, right? We’re aiming to catch the Sub-dragon Phoenix!”
“Oho!” Leo then calmed down.
With intelligence not inferior to that of an adult, it naturally knew catching the Sub-dragon Phoenix was a better deal than a few eggs. Perhaps once they caught the Sub-dragon Phoenix, it would lay eggs like the chickens on his estate every day. If that were the case, wouldn’t it be delightful: “A Phoenix Egg every day, my strength will be unstoppable!”
