Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 165: Third Level Realm, Return to Oasis, Meeting Su An
The harvest of this trip was so innumerable that Lin Feng consumed a large amount of stored evolutionary meat to filter and purify the wasteland wolf essence.

Of the original 100 kilograms of level 18 evolved meat jerky, only one third remained after this relic exploration mission. It was actually okay in the early stages, but after Lin Feng became a level 2 evolver, he had to eat at least 10 kilograms of evolved meat jerky every time he came back from the ground in order to restore it to its peak state.

However, the real major consumption of dried meat comes from the filtration of source materials.

More than one ton of Wasteland Wolf evolution meat came from four second-level Wasteland Wolf corpses, two second-level early-stage dead wolves in the tunnel, and one second-level middle-stage dead wolf.

Under the stimulation of the wolf king's body in the Wolf King Tomb, the evolutionary levels of the corpse wolves are all at the upper limit within a small stage, so the cost of filtering is very high, but the quality of the pure source filtered out is also very high.

In addition to the evolutionary meat collected from the four wolf corpses, Lin Feng filtered and purified the evolutionary meat dug out from the remaining wolf corpses, and extracted a total of eight portions of level 20 source essence and three portions of level 24 source essence.

Because they are all pure source materials, the former was originally priced at 200,000 points, but now it is worth up to one million points.

As for the latter, Lin Feng estimated that one copy could be sold for more than three million points. After all, the original price was 600,000 points.

If the five essences from the four wolf corpses were added, the total value would easily exceed 20 million points.

However, Lin Feng does not plan to extract the pure source material from the evolved meat in the four wolf corpses for the time being. He can get more benefits by handing them over to the church.

The main purpose was to cover up the fact that he had killed a second-level corpse wolf and had mastered a large amount of second-level source essence.

After all, the rapid increase in evolutionary level is bound to arouse suspicion from all parties.

But if he could use the essence in the wolf corpse to exchange with the Holy Spring Cult for the rockhorn beetle's evolutionary meat rich in essence, he could reasonably explain his rapid growth in strength.

Handing over the essence of the wolf corpse is also more reasonable than the "zombie meat" of the dead wolf.

Moreover, the second-level wolf corpses at the train station do not have the wolf king's third-level cells in their bodies. Only the corpse wolves responsible for guarding the tunnel entrance and resurrecting the dead have some trace third-level cells in their evolved meat to maintain their activities.

At this moment, after Lin Feng finished processing the evolutionary meat of the corpse wolf, he looked at the third-level cell tissue that was dug out on the side.

Two early-stage second-stage monsters and one mid-stage second-stage monster were used to dig out a palm-sized amount of third-stage evolutionary meat, about one kilogram. As one of the sources of pollution, it was placed in a black box.

Zong Shiyue guided Lin Feng throughout the process:

"These third-order cells are only at the early stage of the third order, but that old wolf king has already reached the late stage of the third order. Ninety percent of the cells in his body have evolved to the middle stage of the third order..."

"So the third-order cells in these corpse wolves have already degenerated several levels. At the same time, the impact of radiation is also very small. For evolvers, as long as they are not directly exposed to it, there will be no mental pollution."

"Especially under the sunlight on the surface, the pollution caused by the third-order cell tissue will be severely suppressed, so there is no need to worry too much."

Lin Feng nodded, then asked about the filtering of the third-level evolved meat, and mentioned the theory he heard from Bai Ye to Zong Shiyue.

At this time, Lin Feng had already spent ten points of source essence to clear out the mental pollution energy in his brain. The reason why he could still see Zong Shiyue's emerging figure was mainly because he was close enough to the black box containing the source of distortion and was within Zong Shiyue's limited influence range.

According to it, it only needs to be fed some evolutionary meat regularly to maintain the consumption of the condensed projection, but it cannot appear under direct sunlight because there is a risk of getting burned.

After listening to Lin Feng's description of the third-order source essence, Zong Shiyue hummed:

"That's basically it. Apart from the original source essence from the initial meteor shower, the subsequent catastrophic pollution has basically eliminated pure third-level source essence."

"Only a few meteorite crystal cores still contain pure Origin Essence, but they are rare and can only be found by chance. They were rare back then, but now the world has changed so much that we don't have to worry about them."

"As for how we achieved the third stage of evolution back then, it mainly depended on talent."

"Directly, there is very little pure third-order source material, but there are a large number of third-order evolutionary cells, especially the early-stage third-order cells. After filtering, they can maintain purity for a period of time in a pure environment."

"Furthermore, a late-stage second-stage being possesses a certain ability to influence the environment. As long as they stay in a sterile room for a period of time, their genetic information will be able to fill it."

"At this time, the clean filtered third-level essence is sent into it. Even if it is contaminated by the environment, it is still the body's own genetic information. After absorption, it can stimulate the birth of a batch of third-level cells in the body."

As he spoke, Zong Shiyue seemed to recall something and introduced another matter related to the third-order king:

"Of course, to become a true third-level king, absorbing third-level essence and catalyzing third-level cells is only the most basic criterion..."

"In addition to third-order cells, there's also the transformation of superpowers, which is actually the combination of superpower cells and spirits. For example, the leader of the Salvation Army who went with you to explore the bottom of the ruins before."

"That very talented little girl has already touched the threshold of a third-level supernatural power, integrating it with her mind and spirit. From then on, supernatural power became the instinct of her body, connected with her mind, and released with the radiation of energy within her body."

"This transformed ability is also called artistic conception. It is another realm in the third stage of evolution and also reflects the strength of a third-level king."

"Now that you are determined to embark on the path of transcendence, understanding it earlier can also help you advance to the third level."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.

The essence of the third-order evolution is self-awareness, which is integrated into the genetic sequence of the body. The fusion of superpowers and consciousness is to fully activate the expression of superpowers contained in the genetic sequence.

Before the third stage, consciousness was integrated into genes and carried by the catalysis of the third-stage source material, becoming a solution to the problem of second-stage evolution and consciousness decline. After this step was completed, the intention of combining consciousness with supernatural genes became a manifestation of third-stage power.

At this time, the former is the cause and the latter is the result.

Lin Feng had already experienced the improvement brought about by the transformation of supernatural powers into artistic conception in Bai Ye's combat form.

At that time, Bai Ye could take off directly on the spot and use the extremely high potential of spatial abilities to achieve many incredible phenomena.

When Zong Shiyue was introducing the third-level gun king of that year, during the hunt for him, the gun king burst out with all his strength, directly melting hundreds of kilometers of desert area.

It formed a landscape of obsidian crystals, which was as powerful as several nuclear bombs.

Even Lin Feng couldn't predict what kind of artistic conception his own branded ability would transform into after he was promoted to the third-level king in the future.

After all, when the power of the brand evolved to the second stage, it showed an excellent supernatural effect, allowing Lin Feng to directly gain the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels.

However, this matter was still too far away. After thinking for a while, Lin Feng stopped thinking about it and looked at the black box in front of him:
"So these early-stage third-order Wolf King cells are of no use for now, right?"

Zong Shiyue nodded:

"That's right. Unless you've already reached the late second stage and have sufficient strength and foundation to support the third-stage metamorphosis of your second-stage cells, rashly absorbing third-stage essence, even if it's filtered pure essence, will lead to over-catalysis and consume you to death..."

"It eventually condensed into a piece of third-order evolved meat containing its own genetic information."

After saying this with a sinister smile, Zong Shiyue turned to look at the black box containing the third-order Wolf King cells, his face filled with disgust and disdain:

"It's useless now anyway, take it away and don't contaminate my original flesh and blood."

"But it seems you have a young Steppenwolf? Once it becomes a Chieftain-level Steppenwolf, you can feed it some flesh and blood from a Level 3 Early Stage Wolf King."

Lin Feng was stunned:
"Can I feed it at level 2? Doesn't it have any impact?"

Zong Shiyue nodded as a matter of course:

"Of course it has no effect. That's the flesh and blood of its ancestors, passed down from generation to generation. Furthermore, by absorbing the third-level Wolf King's cells, its strength can be increased several times in a short period of time, reaching between the late second and third levels." "Adding a little during normal promotions will stabilize its strength. When the Lieyang Forbidden Zone is moved, it will have the upper hand in the battle for the Wolf King's inheritance and will be more adaptable to the third-level essence within the Wolf King's body."

After saying this, he disappeared and returned to the black box filled with the original flesh and blood.

Lin Feng closed the black box in front of him containing the third-level wolf king cells and placed it in another corner of the trunk.

It seems that after returning to the oasis, we have to buy a special car to transport the third-level flesh and blood, and at the same time order everyone not to get close to avoid pollution leakage.

After talking with Zong Shiyue, Lin Feng put away the pure source material he had filtered out and put it into the refrigerator beside him.

There are still twelve bottles of pure evolution agents in it at this moment, seven of which are Lin Feng’s own, and five are the cooperation rewards paid in advance by Bai Ye.

These level ten pure source materials were just bonuses for the transaction with the Hunting Guild this time. One piece was sold for 5,000 points, and Lin Feng's selling price was at most around 3,000 points.

The total is 36,000 points.

Although it sounds like a lot, in reality you can only buy a few dozen kilograms of late-stage evolutionary meat.

According to the current situation in Oasis Town, it is estimated that it will be cut in half.

However, the first-level pure source material is just a bonus, and the real main course depends on the remaining large amount of source material.

Eight portions of level 20 pure source material and three portions of level 24 pure source material that have just been filtered out.

Lin Feng planned to use one of them to trade with the guild for 100 kilograms of second-level evolutionary meat.

Although a portion of level 20 pure source material is several times more expensive than the same level of evolutionary meat, the price of evolutionary meat in Oasis Town has also increased several times.

Only after obtaining enough evolutionary meat, will Lin Feng have the confidence and strength to bargain for a good price and reap the most benefits in the conflict between the Li family and the church.

When Lin Feng was still immersed in the joy of the abundant source material harvest, Liu Mingfei's voice came from the front:
"Captain, we're here!"

Lin Feng closed the refrigerator door and walked to the car window. He saw a straight road appearing in the distance.

It has only been about six days since everyone left Oasis Town. The oasis has advanced about 120 kilometers and is still a day's journey to the bottom of the Taishan ruins.

Less than twenty kilometers.

Liu Mingfei then changed direction and drove towards the rear.

Zheng Yanying and others calculated the direction in advance and accurately found the current location of Oasis Town.

In order to escape from the Feicheng shelter and avoid the wolf army in the Meteoric Wolf Valley, Lin Feng and others headed south and arrived at Oasis Avenue in just seven or eight hours.

Under Lin Feng's order, Liu Mingfei changed direction and headed eastward towards Oasis Town.

Because the terrain of Oasis Avenue is flat, the convoy's forward speed suddenly increased several times. It took less than an hour to reach Oasis Town, more than ten kilometers away.

Everyone's cars were parked on the right side of the avenue, watching the huge Oasis battleship, leading the convoy of vehicles from the five major villages, slowly approaching in a mighty manner.

The four members of Lin Feng's team were already accustomed to Oasis Town, while the newly joined Ma Chenfeng team showed a look of shock.

Through simple communication, Lin Feng and others learned that Ma Chenfeng's team had been active in the north before. Because they had a wanted warrant, they could only survive in the depths of the wilderness. The little supplies they collected would be exploited in transactions with the hunter team.

If you are lucky enough to come across a second-rate settlement, you can send your men there to exchange for some urgently needed daily necessities.

Large mobile bases like the Oasis battleship generally do not appear in town-level settlements. This is because of the special nature of the Oasis and its important role in providing intelligence, so warships are dispatched there.

When Oasis Town arrived in front of everyone, Lin Feng, the leader, took a deep breath, stood on the slope, and looked towards the Holy Spring Village not far away:

"Let's go, Father Suan must have been waiting for a long time."

Everyone nodded and returned to their cars.

When Lin Feng sat in the rock horse chariot and entered the Oasis Avenue and arrived near the Holy Spring Village, he saw from afar as many as sixty guards wearing armor and armed with live ammunition guarding the vehicles on the periphery.

Especially at the gate, there were more than ten guards standing there, including fully armed evolvers and first-level early combat priests wearing armor.

The guarding force has been strengthened several times compared to before.

It seems that the situation has reached a critical point, and all that is left is for the top leaders of both sides to announce the action.

When Lin Feng's convoy was approaching the gate of Shengquan Village and was still a hundred meters away, a group of guards pointed their guns and ordered them to stop accelerating and not to enter within a hundred meters of Shengquan Village.

It was not until the former captain of the guard reported to the combat priest in charge that the latter suddenly realized what was going on and jumped off the chariot and walked over.

He stopped beside the Yanma chariot and politely said to Lin Feng who was sitting in the passenger seat:

"Mr. Lin, the situation in the oasis has been tense recently. Shengquan Village has been under full martial law and no outside vehicles are allowed to enter. I have arranged for someone to report to Lord Su An. If Mr. Lin is in a hurry, he can get off the car and go into the village to meet Lord Su An."

“The remaining vehicles and personnel need to stay outside the village.”

"Please forgive me, Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng nodded and asked his men to wait outside. He took two second-level wild wolf essences and two cannons under his cloak, and entered the Holy Spring Village under the leadership of the combat priest.

At this time, the laughter and joy of the past could no longer be heard in the village. After school and dinner, the students returned to the dormitory cars early to study and rest.

When Lin Feng arrived at the familiar office car and got in to see Father Su An, the latter looked haggard.

Even the aura of the middle stage of the second stage on his body became a little weaker, no longer as powerful and deep as before.

Obviously, he had consumed and overdrawn too much energy for the upcoming battle.

Seeing Lin Feng, he took out a tube of evolution agent as thick as his arm from his arms and handed it forward:

"Zheng Yanying has already reported to me about the ruins. Thank you for taking care of Yueyue and for your efforts in finding the second-level wolf corpse."

"This is the compensation we agreed on."

Lin Feng looked at the second-level evolution agent in front of him, nodded, and did not put it away.

A smile appeared on Father Suan's slightly haggard face.
"Then what happens next..."

"Tell me about the extra good news you brought!"

　Good news, I’m finally home. The updates will become stable and will be released gradually!
