195: Taboo Seal

However, now was a good opportunity to use the Snake Speaker to inquire about the black Snake-Person.

Just as Li Wen was about to walk over, he noticed the Snake Speaker had already intimately linked arms with his senior brother.

She looked as if she was eager to be contracted immediately, but was limited by the condition that she must first complete the trial.

Seeing this, Li Wen quickly stepped forward and carefully probed, asking,

“Um… excuse me, what’s the situation with the smaller Snake-Person at the end of the line?”

Hearing Li Wen’s question, the Snake Speaker’s cheeks instantly flushed with a few more blushes. She softly replied,

“Oh, you mean it! It has suffered from ‘magic disease’ since childhood and cannot absorb spiritual energy normally like its peers.”

“All this time, its current size is entirely due to its body’s natural Growth.”

“Moreover, due to the influence of this disease, it can’t even learn or master any Skills. It’s truly pitiful. Although we all look after it, it still has some inferiority complex deep down.”

After hearing this, Li Wen couldn’t help but feel very puzzled, muttering to himself,

“Oh, this is truly strange. Why are you blushing? I didn’t call you sister-in-law!”

Then, he subconsciously rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully,

“So that’s how it is… Perhaps, for this so-called ‘magic disease,’ I might be able to figure out a treatment method.”

Upon hearing this, the Snake Speaker anxiously and quickly said,

“Is that truly so? If it is, please, you must help it!”

Her words were filled with earnestness, making it impossible to feel that she was merely putting on an act in front of her senior brother.

From the current situation, the atmosphere within this place, called the Serpent People Tribe, truly felt comfortable and harmonious.

However, its inferiority didn’t seem to be entirely a bad thing.

Precisely because of this, Li Wen’s contract became even more advantageous.

As for Li Wen, the reason he chose to inquire about the situation before deciding on action was actually due to careful consideration.

After all, for him, successfully contracting this target was not easy.

So, before that, he had to assess the difficulty of this contract.

If he hadn’t seen its detailed attribute panel information with his own eyes, Li Wen might have turned and left without hesitation after completing this evolution.

However, at this moment, the reality of the situation changed his initial idea.

Because after carefully observing and studying these data, Li Wen discovered that within this little fellow, immense potential was hidden.

Not to mention the legendary six mythical snake species, even the figure of the Eastern Splendor’s Taiyi seemed to be faintly discernible within it.

Forbidden Law Snake

attribute: None

Race: Elite Intermediate

growth level: Commander High-Tier

Energy Value: 163589

trait ①: Forbidden Law Body

The body forms its own spiritual energy circulation, repelling the entry of external spiritual energy. Similarly, its body is regarded as a complete spiritual energy node. The physical attacks it unleashes can break the spiritual energy nodes of other pet beasts, thereby preventing them from releasing their Skills.

trait ②: Forbidden Seal

Being a Forbidden Law Body is itself a taboo. The price of becoming a taboo is the inability to learn any Skills, but there is always a way out. A Forbidden Seal can be carved onto the Forbidden Law Body, which is considered a complete spiritual energy node. The Forbidden Seal can imprint the Skills of any race.

Skill: None

...Evolution Plan:

Evolution Condition:

Complete the imprinting of any Forbidden Seal to evolve.

Evolution Materials: None

Evolution Location: None

...Perhaps in the early stages, the Forbidden Law Snake’s Growth might indeed be full of hardships.

However, once this Forbidden Law Body successfully formed, the natural Growth rate of the Energy Value it contained was actually not inferior to those common pet beasts.

It was merely that due to the restraints and limitations of the Forbidden Seal, it was unable to break through the bottleneck and advance into the Monarch Tier.

Fortunately, Li Wen happened to be the one who could help it break through its predicament and solve its problems.

Although Li Wen was still completely unaware of the specific solution at this time, the panel had already prepared for a rainy day, selling him the exclusive secret method for imprinting the Forbidden Seal at a high price of 200 knowledge points.

Forbidden Seal Imprinting Method:

First, a pet beast with the Forbidden Seal trait must be given a brand new racial trait, and then this newly acquired racial Skill must be witnessed being fully released.

Just this one sentence, even Master Tier Breeders would likely feel confused and at a loss upon seeing it.

But how could Li Wen be an ordinary person? Faced with such a tricky and complex situation, he was fully capable of handling and properly resolving these issues.

Now, the time was ripe; it was time to activate the long-held gene editing!

Panel: ...Its original intention was that even if it couldn't learn Skills in the conventional way, certain unique traits could gradually be honed and formed through the mutual conflict and clever combination of materials.

However, Li Wen’s understanding of this point seemed to be correct, as the biggest problem brought by the Forbidden Seal was precisely the inability to learn various Skills normally.

If there were other more convenient ways to more easily acquire the necessary traits and use them to engrave corresponding Skills, it would undoubtedly be an even better thing.

While the panel was still troubled and entangled with such matters, Li Wen had already begun to consider which racial cells would be most suitable.

In his opinion, the best choice was undoubtedly the Celestial Transformation Dragon.

However, Li Wen wasn’t so reckless as to directly ask the strongest pet beast in the Eastern Splendor for its fur.

Comparatively, the Dao Snake Priest might be relatively easier to communicate with.

If he truthfully informed her that he was doing this entirely for the sake of its offspring, would it be possible to successfully obtain what he needed?

Thinking of this, Li Wen couldn’t help but gently shake his head, feeling that instead of fantasizing here, it would be better to start taking action to improve the Forbidden Law Snake’s favorability.

As for what Skill to engrave in the end, that could only be decided step by step, based on the actual situation.
