"Alright... Yulin, come back to me as we have no idea what kind of monster is this shelled creature..." Mu Qing Lang grabbed Yulin's wrist and had her slowly going to his back.

"Do you understand me?" not knowing if communication works, Mu Qing Lang proceeds with the process of a mentally ill patient talking to a walking oyster. Meanwhile, Yulin's face is getting redder and redder from having her wrist held by Mu Qing Lang.

The walking oyster turned to Mu Qing Lang and used its "Foot" to draw a "tick" on the ground. Unbelievably, this walking oyster understands!

"First question. Are you friendly? Will you harm my people? If you are friendly, take a step forward, if not, stay there." Mu Qing Lang continued. As for the lass in his grip, she's almost fainting from the embarrassment.

The walking oyster soon took a step forward. To presents it's friendliness, it spits a pearl out from the shell. This scene made Mu Qing Lang get friendlier to the walking oyster.

"We may have a communication problem, but if you're a friendly creature, then you're always welcome to stay with us. Of course, we'll need to have a long period of understanding to not give difficulties to each other." Mu Qing Lang extends his hand to the walking oyster to see how will it react.

Unknown if this is a sign of friendship, the walking oyster extends its foot out to grab Mu Qing Lang's hand. This made the touch exchange between them similar to a handshake.

As he has no idea about this walking oyster at all, Mu Qing Lang can only ask it two simplified inquiries.

"Do you need water to survive?"

"Would you like to stay here or follow us to the settlement?"

Both questions received a "Tick" from the walking oyster. As it was willing to follow them back, Mu Qing Lang offered his hand to lift it as they returned. Yulin, on another case, is floating from one side to another, almost to the part she's going to faint soon.

"Alright. For now, we'll let you stay around my private spot. I'll introduce you to the others so they won't be shocked by your arrival." Mu Qing Lang placed the walking oyster near to his own place. Having nothing else to do, Mu Qing Lang waved his hand at Yulin to ask her to go back and rest, while he returned to the carriage with the new plant and pearl.

"The sudden notice that came inside his head shocked him further. This motivates him more to believe that the walking oyster is unusual. For the first reason, there's no walking oyster exist. Secondly, it can spit pearls out without a specific purpose.

"I'll take a seat then." Mu Qing Lang pulled the chair and get ready to access the Information Table.

[*Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearl*]

"Hahaha! You ugly oyster! You're actually some descendent of Eastern Sea monsters." Mu Qing Lang laughed. Meanwhile, outside his carriage, the walking oyster is spitting a piece of wrongly eaten stone.

"Let's have a look at the plant first, then we'll get to the pearl later." Mu Qing Lang tapped on the Chang Peony Grass and placed the pearl to the last surprise.

"Hey! There's only three option for five herbs! You're extorting me!" Mu Qing Lang complained at his carriage although he knows that nothing can be done about this.

"I'll choose the first option this time. As for the target... Let's choose Tiezu-Wu." Mu Qing Lang chose a candidate to receive this evolution boost.

[Toot!]

[Evolution cannot be applied to Tiezu-Wu, a High-Orc]

-

"That fellow is actually a high-Orc. I guess I'll have to look for a different target then." Mu Qing Lang had a different opinion at the two Tiezu Siblings already. Still, he has to look for a target for this evolution option.

"How about Guan Yi?" Mu Qing Lang chose his second choice.

[Toot!]

[Evolution cannot be applied to Guan Yi, a Goblin Champion]

-

"Does that means I can choose from the goblins, the young orcs, and the satyr? I have no other choice anyway, right?" Mu Qing Lang finally understands the meaning of below second stage.

"I'll choose the satyr to evolve then." Mu Qing Lang decided to give this opportunity to the lonely satyr, who's the only one available in the entire Mu's Settlement.

[Toot!]

[Target match the minimal requirement. Instant Evolution is complete]

"Alright, done. I'll proceed with the pearl now." Mu Qing Lang tapped at the second option, which is the pearl given to him by the walking oyster outside his carriage.

= = = = = = = = = =

"Offspring from the Eastern Sea Eleventh Marquis? That's something like the Journey to the West storyline I think? So what kind of sea monster is the first to tenth Marquises? Dragon? Whale? Crab?" Mu Qing Lang jokes to himself, but he knows what does this mean.

"I'll have to start keeping my little money-making machine a little better." Mu Qing Lang opened a gap on his window and took a peek at the shut-in Walking Oyster.

...

Leaving everyone on their own, Mu Qing Lang only made his appearance on dinner period. The happiest news before the dinner should be about the satyr evolved into a Lesser Behemoth. Of course, after evolution, this fellow now capable of speech.

"Master." the Lesser Behemoth addressed him for the first time.

"Let me know what's your evolution." Mu Qing Lang took a glance on his appearance while he expects for a reply.

"My evolution path is [Lesser Mystic Behemoth] where it allowed me to use Flame Conversion and Earth Conversion. I hope my ability can be a help to you, master." the Lesser Behemoth explained his ability to Mu Qing Lang.

"Great. I'll remember that. Do not worry about the issue with your fellow clansmen, we'll found them sooner or later, and by that time, you'll rejoice to meet them." Mu Qing Lang calmed the Lesser Behemoth as he can speak now.

"Master, please do not worry. Our people are rare in numbers. I'm sure we can meet with each other in the future. Can master give this Lesser Mystic Behemoth a name?" it requested for a proper name fit his status.

"You'll be named as Mo Yi. I'll be depending on you to help our settlement to grow." Mu Qing Lang named the behemoth using the word (Mo) in demon and (Yi) as in the digit one.

"Thank you, Master!" Mo Yi thanked his master for the name. Their attention then turned to the Eastern Sea Oyster. Its appearance of a shut-in mollusk that can create pearl inside its body puzzled everyone. But since it can communicate through simple actions, it was quickly accepted by the people in this settlement.

Surprisingly, the time between afternoon to evening allowed the Eastern Sea Oyster to made a few additional pearls. Six Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearls is created during the waiting period, where it made Mu Qing Lang extremely happy.

"Master! Not good!" suddenly, an orc came back from taking a leak, and noticed some changes happened to the Xian-Ren Grass Field.

"What happened?" Mu Qing Lang asked.

"The Xian-Ren Grass... All three fields of Xian-Ren Grass seems to be eaten by some beast before coming inside of our... settlement?" the orc stares at the track left by the mysterious beast, which leads him to the Eastern Sea Oyster.

"Master... I think I found the culprit." the orc pointed at the oyster.

"You damn mollusk..." Mu Qing Lang wanted to knock some sense into the Eastern Sea Oyster immediately...

For eating all three fields of Xian-Ren Grass for the sake of making him six of the Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearls!
