Chapter 77: Seven Wishes Blessing, Fungus-Born Elves (First Update)
Ryan was stunned: "Bless seven times? How do you say that?"

According to the records left by Lettuce Island, the blessing of the awakening ceremony is a one-time deal.

After the unknown being accepts the sacrifice, the lord will first designate the person to receive the blessing, and then He will use the bonfire to exert His power.

This power will be released together. Ordinary people will have the opportunity to awaken the power of runes, while rune warriors will have a small chance to improve their original runes.

Usually this force has a limited number of people and has some strange connection with the territory. For example, in Lettuce Island, twenty places are appropriate.

If there are too few people, the blessing power will be wasted. If there are too many people, they will be too scattered. That is why Ryan released 17 places.

——Anna and Kailin already have rune bloodline and do not need to awaken it through this ceremony.

The unprecedented experience made Ryan a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and asked carefully in his mind: "May I ask the great mysterious existence, how do you define the seven blessings?"

The mysterious being did not respond, but only urged gently: "Time is about to end..."

Ryan wanted to ask for a big price, but he was afraid that being too clever would backfire. After thinking for a while, he pointed at himself and said, "Please help me upgrade my runes."

"Yes." A fire rune shot out from the campfire, melted into Ryan's body, and was perfectly embedded in the chain composed of Ryan's twelve runes.

"Whoosh--" The flames gently swirled around his body and suddenly transformed into the shape of a firebird.

Ryan felt his whole body lighten, and the blessing was completed: "It's so easy! Last time it almost cost me half my life."

He then pointed at Rick and said, "Please help him upgrade his runes."

"But..." The voice paused for a moment, and an ice rune flew out of the campfire and entered Rick's body.

When the rune entered his body, it was like a headless fly, running around in Reike's meridians. It took a long time before it suddenly collapsed.

Rick groaned in comfort, and his icy fighting spirit took shape directly, manifesting as some kind of divine bird covered in ice crystals.

Ryan was finally shocked: "It actually worked? The chance of improving runes was less than 10% before."

He suppressed his excitement, pointed at Leir, and again asked to upgrade the runes.

"Yes." Another fire rune popped out. There was no need to elaborate on the process. Leir did it painlessly as well.

Ryan calmed down and looked at the 17 islanders who were participating in the awakening ceremony. He was a little embarrassed, but finally chose his relative: "Please help him awaken the rune."

"No..."

Ryan was stunned and was about to change someone else, but the voice said impatiently: "I know what you wish."

As he spoke, a plant rune, a water drop rune, and a lightning rune flew out one after another and shot into the bodies of three of the seventeen people.

Accompanied by the visions of sprouting plants, mist and lightning, the three bronze rune warriors succeeded so easily.

The remaining fourteen obviously do not have the qualifications to awaken.

"One more wish!" The mysterious being seemed to be urging.

"Phew, luckily I didn't get too clever and make a wish for everyone to awaken." Ryan was very thankful and was about to choose another person from the other islanders to awaken.

Suddenly, the bonfire shook violently, and a strange rune shot out from it, passing over everyone in the square, and flew to an unknown place.

"Seven wishes have been fulfilled." The voice seemed to chuckle and then faded away. The bonfire on the high platform seemed to be blown out by someone.

On the barren mountain, Li Qing watched the whole process quietly: "Why is it a little different from what Ryan said?"

When the last rune shot out, Li Qing almost thought he was discovered and was about to trigger the "Gate of Heaven".

Fortunately, the direction in which the rune flew was slightly offset, and it seemed to go to... "Pingyang Mushroom Field?"

He could not help but be stunned. Seeing that the vast and lofty consciousness had been withdrawn from the sky above Lettuce Island, he no longer paid attention to the platform and flew towards the Pingyang Mushroom Field. Even without moonlight, the mushroom field was not dark on a snowy night. On the contrary, the Pingyang mushrooms that emerged from the thin layer of snow were now emitting a little golden light.

But what attracted Li Qing was not the fairy-tale-like beauty, but an inconspicuous mushroom on the edge of the mushroom field.

This Pingyang mushroom looks a little shriveled, the cap on top has spread out, the stem has become loose, and there are tiny spores scattered around.

Li Qing frowned and calculated the time based on its appearance: "Is this the first batch that was missed?" At that time, Li Qing was still in the world of cultivation.

Like most mushrooms, after the Pingyang mushroom sprays out spores, its essence will dissipate and it will no longer have any edible or medicinal value.

But now, this Pingyang mushroom, which is about to fall into the mud and turn into dust, has lived a "second life" by chance.

"Sir, so you are here!" Ryan, who came hurriedly, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Li Qing.

Li Qing congratulated him: "Everything went smoothly and you got what you wanted. Did you gain a lot today?"

Ryan smiled cheerfully: "I have upgraded three runes at once and awakened three rune warriors. This is an unprecedented harvest on Lettuce Island."

If the previous records are followed, and the total can reach three, it can be regarded as the blessing of the sea god.

"But it doesn't seem to match what you said?" Li Qing asked directly to express his doubts.

Ryan was equally puzzled: "It wasn't so easy to bless before. And the way to upgrade the runes is also different. Lei'er's fire bird and Rek's ice bird are all unheard of."

"Most importantly, there has never been a time when seven wishes are granted directly. Most of the time, it's just a matter of luck."

Li Qing had no way to compare, and he didn't make it hard on himself. He pointed at the Pingyang mushroom and said, "Let's take a look at this last blessing."

Ryan looked in the direction, confused at first, then sensed something: "Sir, this is..."

Li Qing nodded slightly: "This Pingyang fungus has bred a fairy worm!"

This Pingyang mushroom is nearing the end of its life, but its mycelium underneath still hides tenacious vitality.

In the mycelium, a bean-sized elf worm was holding a rune, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

The spirit insect was already scattered, but with the nourishment of the rune, it showed signs of solidification. The two complemented each other and gradually gave birth to new vitality.

Ryan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Congratulations, sir! We have obtained another precious spirit fungus insect!"

Li Qing observed his expression and felt his sincerity. He was silent for a moment, then smiled with relief: "I'll leave this elf insect to your family!"

Ryan was stunned for a moment: "Sir, according to the original agreement, only the duplicate spirit bugs were given to us. What's more, now the entire Lettuce Island is under your protection."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Since they are all under my protection, what does it matter who I give this spirit insect to?"

"Besides, this is an opportunity you got by risking your life to hold the awakening ceremony. How can I take it for myself?"

Of course, there was one thing Li Qing didn't say: he didn't dare sign a spiritual contract with the elf insect blessed by the mysterious being and stuff it into his dantian.

In this case, since the Pingyang Mushroom Elf Worm cannot be brought back to the world of cultivation, it is better to give it to the Ryan family to cultivate the Pingyang Mushroom here.

Ryan soon figured out the trick, but he was still very grateful and bowed to Li Qing: "Thank you for your gift, sir!"

Li Qing raised his head slowly and looked towards the vast night sky: "This is not a gift from me!"

On a deserted island far away, Rick picked up Anna, Karin, and the three birds including Feng Lei who were guarding the island.

Anna looked at her son excitedly, dancing with joy to share her joy with him: "Rick, I have awakened the Ice Rune! I can practice fighting spirit now!"
