Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

He pondered for a moment, then crouched down and asked the shimmering Blue he had just tamed, "Is there something hidden in the temple? That's what created this azure sea?" "Blue??"

The group of adorable little elves beside Jianggu tilted their heads.

The floating Super NONO flashed rapidly, then translated: "They said—there really is such a thing."

Then the Blues ate the energy cubes while jumping and chirping happily.

According to Super Nono's translation, Jiang Gu roughly understood the situation.

The Brutus meant that there was something in the temple that they found very comfortable!

Jiang Gu, on the other hand, enthusiastically moved closer.

"Could you take me to see it?"

Upon hearing this, the Blues' enthusiasm vanished instantly, and they became hesitant.

That treasure made their clan live a comfortable life!

Although there are no other benefits besides that...

But if this kind person takes it away, they feel their quality of life will drop significantly!

Seeing that the Blues were hesitating.

Jiang Gu thought for a moment and decided to continue releasing bombshell news!

He directly poured out a large number of water-based energy blocks into the system space!

These are things that Xiao Lan did when she had nothing else to do at the space transfer station.

This has made things convenient for Jiang Gu.

The Blues hesitated from the very beginning...

Then I watched as the energy blocks piled up into a small mountain...

Everyone's eyes widened!

This is so delicious!

This kind person has given so much!

Our clan is incredibly lucky.

Jiang Gu then spoke up at the opportune moment.

"If you don't take me with you..."

"So, I'll take these energy cubes back, okay?" The Blues panicked instantly, shouting anxiously. "Blues!" "Blues!" They were terrified that Jiang Gu would take the energy cubes back, and their formation crumbled!

Then the Blues made up their minds.

Compared to the familiar, comfortable feeling that I've grown accustomed to... these energy cubes are clearly more precious!!

So delicious!

We absolutely cannot lose it!

Moreover, Jiang Gu gave so much!

So the Blues gathered around Jiang Gu and started calling out.

The translated meaning of "Super NONO" is...

"Since you're so kind as to offer us so much delicious food, then we're all friends now!"

"Come on, let us show you something amazing in the temple!"

Jiang Gu was overjoyed; it had worked!

He was somewhat excited to guess what that treasure that could enhance the aptitude of water-type Pokémon was.

Led by the Blues, Jiang Gu then traversed a long tunnel within the temple.

As Jiang Gu passed through the passage, he became even more certain that the temple was indeed extraordinary!

The mural above depicts countless elves clashing and battling each other!

Along the way, the bluebirds chirped merrily.

According to the translation by SuperNONO.

They indicated that the mysterious treasure was left behind by an extremely powerful being!

As for the elf's appearance, the group of little guys pointed and gestured wildly, sometimes saying it was a giant flying dragon, sometimes saying it was a creature like a jewel!

Jiang Gu was really dizzy!

And so they chatted on and on in a daze.

Jiang Gu followed the Bru and his companions to the underground of the temple.

He then realized he had found the real deal.

As soon as he stepped underground, he felt the concentration of water energy around him increase even more!

The originally azure seawater has transformed into a tangible, deep blue power of water!

Jiang Gu looked ahead and discovered...

Chapter 74: Planetary-Level Resource - Essence of Water

In Jiang Gu's view, directly in front of him was a towering stone platform carved with wave patterns, and translucent water-colored crystals were slowly floating on top of it!

Jiang Gu instinctively uses the data eye to view.

The message transmitted from the system.

Special Resource: Essence of Water

[Quality: Sacred]

【Effect 1: Permanently increases the potential of Water-type Pokémon when equipped (maximum level 1 Legendary Pokémon potential), and helps Water-type Pokémon refine battle experience to level up (maximum level 100)】

[Effect 2: Purify water sources (up to an entire planet)]

[Note: This essence can only raise the aptitude and level of one Water-type Pokémon to the level of a Legendary Pokémon.] "???" Jiang Gu's eyes widened! This Water Essence... is too powerful!

Everyone else is stupid!

I was really scared!

The essence of water can raise a water-type Pokémon to level 100!

That is, the combat power of a first-level divine beast!

This is already the ceiling of power in the Pokémon world!

Only Arceus can occupy a higher level!

While the function of purifying water sources may not seem to help improve the Pokémon's combat power, it actually highlights the wonder of the essence of water!

It can completely transform an uninhabitable planet into a vibrant and thriving land!

Is this a treasure I can access at my current level?

Jiang Gu was dumbfounded!

Overwhelmed with excitement, he stood frozen in place for at least a moment, while the super-powered Nono beside him transmitted a more accurate message: "Connection failed, please switch services and try again!"

[Planetary-level resource detected—Essence of Water] "Hmm?"

Jiang Gu was a little curious. What was a planet-level resource?

Then SuperNONO retrieved information from its own database.

Jiang Gu quickly understood as well.

The essence of water before you is the most precious treasure on Ocean Star!

Ordinary water essence is not rare; it can be formed as long as a large amount of water elements gather.

But planetary-level ones are extremely precious, as they are the lifeline for the survival of the entire planet!

Removing it would mean the complete collapse of Ocean Star's ecosystem!

In the world of Seer, "Endless Energy" is a type of planetary resource!

However, its level is much higher than that of the Essence of Water!

Meanwhile, Super Nono also informed Jiang Gu.

According to its scan, this essence of water did not affect the real ocean star; its power was confined nearby by the protective shield and rock layer surrounding the temple.

This explains the high aptitude of the Bru clan and the nearby azure waters. "So this is extra water essence from Ocean Star?" "Even if it's taken away, it won't cause any ecological impact?" Jiang Gu vaguely understood something. Since this water essence didn't stabilize the entire Ocean Star's ecosystem, it meant the planet's lifeline lay elsewhere.

The treasure before them was merely the legacy left by the overlord elf mentioned by the Blue tribe.

With this in mind, Jiang Gu had no reason to hesitate.

He walked straight up, grasped the essence of water, and stored it in his system space.

Even through the diving suit, Jiang Gu felt the treasure in his hands the moment he held it.

He felt his previously tired spirit instantly healed, and a warm feeling came from inside his body, as if some hidden illnesses and injuries in his body were being repaired at a rapid pace!
