"Your guess is not wrong; this little girl did indeed receive a portion of the Taotie's Spiritual Rank."
Looking at the appraisal results in her hand, White Yasha looked at Kanroji Mitsuri with great interest.
"Of course, the amount received is not much, only a few scraps."
As a living history of Hakoniwa, White Yasha had also seen that unusually active Taotie before.
At its strongest, its power had even half-stepped into the Three-Digit realm.
If Kanroji Mitsuri had obtained its entire Spiritual Rank, she naturally wouldn't have only increased her strength by this much; she would at least be at the peak of a Four-Digit.
"I have to say, you've given us a big surprise."
White Yasha withdrew her gaze from Kanroji Mitsuri, who was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and looked at Lin Que with interest.
Spiritual Rank, in simple terms, is the sum of factors such as the world's blessings, the ranking of life, and one's life's achievements.
Normally, when a person dies, their Spiritual Rank also disappears with them.
But there are exceptions to everything, and Spiritual Rank is no exception.
Due to the special nature of Hakoniwa and the outside world observing each other, those special existences in Hakoniwa who left behind mythological legends in the outside world, even if they die, their Spiritual Rank will not directly disappear.
As one of the famous Four Fiends of the East, Taotie naturally belonged to this category of existence.
As long as the legends in the outside world have not disappeared, the Taotie's Spiritual Rank will continue to be stored by the Hakoniwa Central Authority until Hakoniwa summons or gives birth to a second Taotie from the outside or internally.
At that time, the Hakoniwa Central Authority will bestow the Taotie's Spiritual Rank it holds upon the other party, allowing this newborn Taotie to inherit most of the previous generation's strength.
This is a common occurrence; in Hakoniwa's long history, many gods are not even the original ones.
"Normally, some Communities, after the death of a god, would indeed guide and mix in some of the other party's Spiritual Rank through various means, using it to cultivate members of the Community."
"However, the Spiritual Rank obtained in this way is generally not much in quality, and it requires a lot of time."
"After doing it a few times back and forth, being able to break through to a Six-Digit is considered efficient."
"For you to break through to the peak of a Six-Digit in one go, it can no longer be called mixing in Spiritual Rank."
White Yasha paused slightly, then used a more accurate adjective: "You have made this little girl into a life form similar to a Taotie, with a slight chance of becoming a true Taotie."
"If not for that, the Hakoniwa Central Authority would not have given the other party so much Spiritual Rank in one go."
"As expected of the knowledgeable White Yasha."
Lin Que applauded enthusiastically and gave a thumbs up.
"You guessed it completely! Amazing, amazing!"
"Don't try that!"
White Yasha raised an eyebrow, not falling for Lin Que's trick at all.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, kid. Even if you're flattering me, you have to pay; at most, I'll give you a discount."
Lin Que's eyes lit up: "Can I get a 10% discount? You also know the situation of our No-Name Community; we really don't have much money right now..."
"Just shut up, a broken bone discount is more like it."
White Yasha didn't believe Lin Que's nonsense at all: "You come running to me every day, buying so many strange items, and now you're telling me you're broke?"
Lin Que coughed: "Those items are all for legitimate purposes, and the remaining money is to be saved for the auction of Leticia."
"Do you think I don't know about your bet with the Queen?"
White Yasha snorted coldly, raising her small hand and waving it: "Hurry up and pay up, 50 gold coins, it's not expensive."
"Alas, our bond has weakened."
Lin Que sighed silently as he took out a small bag of gold coins and placed it in White Yasha's hand.
It wasn't that he lacked the money; it was mainly the regret that his bargaining attempt had failed.
However, with White Yasha's appraisal, it could at least be confirmed that Kanroji Mitsuri's strength indeed came from being allocated the Gourmet's Spiritual Rank.
And Kanroji Mitsuri was able to receive the Gourmet's Spiritual Rank because she ate the Gourmet Fruit.
Thinking of the various Mythical Zoan Fruits in the One Piece World, a thoughtful look flashed in Lin Que's eyes.
In the future, if he obtains more Mythical Zoan Fruits, he can investigate the situation in Hakoniwa.
If there are more instances of vacant Spiritual Ranks like the Gourmet's, it would also be a way to obtain Spiritual Ranks for free, allowing ordinary newcomers to rapidly grow stronger in a short period.
"Right, White Yasha, could you help me take a look at this again?"
After resolving Kanroji Mitsuri's issue and confirming that no new accidents would occur to her, Lin Que took out a cyan flower from his Pregnant and handed it over.
"This flower is called the Cyan Spider Lily. It's a special flower I obtained by chance, capable of helping certain sun-fearing creatures overcome their weakness and move freely under the sun."
"Could you help me see if a being like Leticia, who also fears sunlight, would achieve the same effect if she consumed the Cyan Spider Lily?"
"You're probably dreaming."
Without taking the Cyan Spider Lily, White Yasha directly gave her answer.
"The reason those races fear sunlight is fundamentally a defect in their racial bloodline."
"Although the end result is the same, the reasons for the defects are vastly different."
"While this so-called Cyan Spider Lily can help the race you mentioned overcome their defect, it's impossible for it to help Leticia overcome hers."
"It's alright, I just need to confirm if it has any effect."
Lin Que replied, "Even if it can't completely overcome it, even a tiny effect would suffice."
Demons from the Demon Slayer World are not on the same level as vampires like Leticia.
From the beginning, Lin Que hadn't expected the Cyan Spider Lily to allow Leticia to walk directly in sunlight.
But unlike others, Lin Que had the item enhancement function unlocked by the chat group.
As long as the Cyan Spider Lily's effect wasn't completely zero, he could continuously enhance it specifically for the purpose of [healing Leticia's bloodline defect].
With enough enhancements, the effect of healing the bloodline defect would naturally increase.
The chat group's item enhancement function was just that unreasonable.
"Only to confirm if it has a healing effect?"
After hearing Lin Que's request, White Yasha narrowed her eyes and took the Cyan Spider Lily from his hand.
"This will take some time; a result cannot be obtained immediately."
Lin Que smiled with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave it to you."
