Just looking at the Boss Chrystem, it was clear that Dog Yaksha was at least as strong as it.
Since he did not know where this Dog Yaksha was, he decided to ignore it for now.
After admiring the Chrystem skin for a while, Mo Fan quickly changed into it.
Mo Fan’s human form began to change.
A Boss that looked exactly like Chrystem appeared on the spot where he stood.
A skill appeared in his empty skill bar: Chrysanthemum Summoning.
[Chrystem Skin’s Skill: Chrysanthemum Summoning]
[After using the skill, you can randomly summon 5 chrysanthemum spirits to fight for you. Possible chrysanthemum spirits: Weak Chrysanthemum Spirit, Sturdy Chrysanthemum Spirit, Agile Chrysanthemum Spirit, Nimble Chrysanthemum Spirit]
[Minion Duration: 30 minutes, Skill Cooldown: 10 minutes. (Using the Chrysanthemum Seed can upgrade the minion to a pet.)]
Mo Fan immediately used this skill.
Then, five chrysanthemum spirits appeared in front of him.
Two were sturdy, one was weak, and two were agile.
[Sturdy Chrysanthemum Spirit (Level 9 Minion)]
[Health: 6250/6250]
[Attack: 78-113]
[Defense: 15]
[Duration: 29 minutes 59 seconds]
…
[Weak Chrysanthemum Spirit (Level 9 Minion)]
[Health: 4370/4370]
[Attack: 35-53]
[Defense: 7]
[Duration: 29 minutes 59 seconds]
…
[Agile Chrysanthemum Spirit (Level 9 Minion)]
[Health: 5610/5610]
[Attack: 84-126]
[Defense: 12]
[Duration: 29 minutes 59 seconds]
The stats of the three chrysanthemum spirits were displayed in detail in front of Mo Fan.
“Very good. With this skill, I’ll finally have some helpers when farming monsters.”
The minions lasted for 30 minutes, but the skill’s cooldown was 10 minutes. In other words, within 30 minutes, he could summon at least three groups of chrysanthemum spirits to fight for him.
As long as he used the skill continuously, he could maintain three active groups of chrysanthemum spirits without a hitch.
Mo Fan took out the chrysanthemum seed that he had obtained from defeating Chrystem.
[Chrysanthemum Seed (Unique Item)]
[After using it on a Chrysanthemum Minion, it can be transformed into a pet. Upon usage, the item will disappear.]
Seeing the item’s introduction, Mo Fan was a little surprised.
He could still remember that the description behind the chrysanthemum seed was: [An item that requires special conditions to be used. Effect currently unknown.]
Now that he had the skill [Chrysanthemum Summoning], the description behind the chrysanthemum seed changed.
He looked at the few chrysanthemum spirits that he had summoned.
Mo Fan chose a Sturdy Chrysanthemum Spirit to use the seed on.
The chrysanthemum seed shone in yellow light as it slowly entered the body of the chosen chrysanthemum spirit.
The Sturdy Chrysanthemum Spirit’s body gradually shrunk until it became a one-foot tall chrysanthemum spirit. It looked adorable and cute.
Mo Fan immediately gained access to a pet column with detailed information about the pet.
[Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit (Unique Pet)]
[Level: 0 (Progress: 0/100)]
[Health: 1000]
[Attack: 10-10]
[Defense: 10]
[Elementary Chrysanthemum’s Cry: 900 damage to all targets within a 10-meter radius for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds.]
[Elementary Life Drain: Absorb the surrounding wood essence to recover 500 HP. Cooldown: 60 seconds]
[Elementary Chrysanthemum Wither: Releases wood essence to trap two targets for 3 seconds, dealing 1200 damage. Cooldown: 120 seconds]
Seeing the pet’s attributes, Mo Fan understood that it was a weakened version of Chrystem.
Right now, it wasn’t that useful to him. But he knew that he had to take good care of it.
“I’ll call you Little Chrysanthemum from now on!”
Mo Fan picked the pet off the ground and placed it on his shoulder.
The little fellow was very obedient. It stayed stationary and did not move.
Looking at the surrounding Demonized Vengeful Spirits, Mo Fan quickly gained a few ideas.
Earlier, he had just walked around without knowing where he was.
The map was pitch black and there was no hint nor clues that could give him an idea as to where exactly he was in the game.
Furthermore, there were a lot of Demonized Vengeful Spirits here!
The Demonized Vengeful Spirits were like rotten zombies.
Their bodies were foul and there were traces of blood all over their figures.
Their feet also weren’t connected to the ground. They floated around like ghosts.
If this was the first time that one saw these Demonized Vengeful Spirits, they would most certainly find them terrifying.
Mo Fan even suspected that if he brought a girl over, his arm might be feeling comfortable right now.
…
After patiently waiting for 30 minutes, Mo Fan summoned an assortment of 15 chrysanthemum spirits.
He brought the bunch of chrysanthemum spirits to a place where there were fewer Demonized Vengeful Spirits.
He chose a lone spirit as his target.
Then, he ordered the chrysanthemum spirits to attack while he hid at the side.
Before he knew how strong these Demonized Vengeful Spirits were, it was better for him not to take the risk.
Coincidentally, it was also a good opportunity for him to know more about just how strong these minions of his were.

…
[Demonized Vengeful Spirit (Level 15) HP: 4430/5000]
Seeing the amount of HP displayed above the Demonized Vengeful Spirit, Mo Fan was a little puzzled.
What was going on?
Why did this Level 15 monster have so little health?
According to Mo Fan’s estimation, a Level 15 monster would have at least 20,000 HP, but now it was obvious that his estimate was completely wrong.
-632
-661
The damage dealt by the Demonized Vengeful Spirit on the chrysanthemum spirits was extremely high though.
In just two attacks, the spirit stripped more than 1000 HP of their health points.
Its attack speed was also slightly faster than a chrysanthemum spirit.
This Demonized Vengeful Spirit was a typical wild monster with high attack and low HP.
Realizing this, Mo Fan immediately rushed forward.
If he did not help, he would have to sacrifice a few chrysanthemum spirits for the life of a single Demonized Vengeful Spirit.

When Mo Fan’s staff struck the body of the Demonized Vengeful Spirit, it was as if he had struck a rag. The scene of rotting flesh splattering everywhere was simply too satisfying to feel and look at.
Not long after the Demonized Vengeful Spirit was killed, Mo Fan lost a chrysanthemum spirit minion.
[Demonized Vengeful Spirit (Level 15) has been killed. Obtained 27,320 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Player Reputation Point.]
[System Notification: Your pet “Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit” has received 27,320 Spiritual Energy Points!]
[System Notification: Congratulations, your pet “Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit” has reached Level 1!]
[System Notification: Congratulations, your pet “Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit” has reached Level 2!]
…
[System Notification: Congratulations, your pet “Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit” has reached Level 5!]
Looking at the golden light shining on Little Chrysanthemum’s body and the series of system notifications that he received, Mo Fan was dumbfounded.
The Spiritual Energy from a single Demonized Vengeful Spirit was too high!
One of them was close to 30,000 points of Spiritual Energy.
There was more than one Demonized Vengeful Spirit here.
Mo Fan became abnormally excited!
He checked Little Chrysanthemum’s stats and became even more hyped.
[Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit (Unique Pet)]
[Level: 5 (Progress: 720/30,000)]
[Health: 12,000]
[Attack: 300-500]
[Defense: 200]
Little Chrysanthemum had only grown a little, but its stats increased by a huge margin.
It became even stronger than Mo Fan while wearing the Chrystem skin.
He could totally let it join the battle now!
However, there were no changes to Little Chrysanthemum’s skills.
He reckoned that its current level was not enough for it to upgrade its skills.
Seeing this, Mo Fan immediately started to look for another Demonized Vengeful Spirit to kill.
“Little Chrysanthemum, you’ll lure the monster this time!” Mo Fan immediately gave an order.
Then, Little Chrysanthemum led a group of chrysanthemum spirits and attacked.
-384
-432
-297
Little Chrysanthemum’s attack was very high.
The Demonized Vengeful Spirit quickly fell under their organized attacks.
It didn’t matter even though Mo Fan did not participate in the fight.
This time, none of the summoned minions died.
Just like that, Mo Fan brought Little Chrysanthemum to start farming monsters.
…
[System Notification: Congratulations, your pet “Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit” has reached Level 10!]
Ten minutes later, a system notification arrived…
It announced Little Chrysanthemum’s level up to Level 10.
Its stats had already far surpassed Mo Fan’s.
[Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit (Unique Pet)]
[Level: 10 (Progress: 3423/1,500,000)]
[Health: 110,000]
[Attack: 1000-1800]
[Defense: 500]
[Intermediate Chrysanthemum’s Cry: Deals 10% of your maximum HP to all targets within a 10-meter radius for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds]
[Intermediate Life Drain: Absorb the surrounding wood essence to recover 15,000 HP. Cooldown: 60 seconds]
[Intermediate Chrysanthemum Wither: Releases wood essence to trap two targets for 3 seconds, dealing 200% damage during that period. Cooldown: 120 seconds]
Seeing Little Chrysanthemum’s stats and skills, Mo Fan’s eyes reddened with envy.
Especially when he saw “Intermediate Chrysanthemum’s Cry”…
It was an AOE skill that could deal 11,000 damage considering Little Chrysanthemum’s current HP. Since its duration was 5 seconds, it meant that Little Chrysanthemum’s DPS was at 2200 HP!
Mo Fan shouted excitedly when he saw many Demonized Vengeful Spirits surrounding him.
Hahaha!
He could now farm monsters in groups!
Furthermore, he could use the special skill once every five minutes!
Mo Fan immediately took action.
If he wanted to fill an area with a 10-meter radius with monsters, he would need to lure about 200 Demonized Vengeful Spirits.
Because “Intermediate Chrysanthemum’s Cry” was a skill that dealt continuous damage, he could even lure a few more than that.
Mo Fan did some calculations and estimated it to be around 250.
No more or less!
If there were too many monsters and they were not killed in time, Mo Fan would die.
If there were too few monsters, then the amount of Spiritual Energy farmed would be too low.
The process would become inefficient if that happened.
“Tsk! Do I share an affinity with the number 2501?”
Mo Fan frowned slightly.
He carefully observed the surrounding terrain and immediately calculated the best route to lure the monsters. He left Little Chrysanthemum and the summoned minions at their positions and immediately rushed out.
Hitting the heads of each Demonized Vengeful Spirit with the long staff, he ran as quick as he could. Fortunately, although the Demonized Vengeful Spirits could levitate floating, they still weren’t as fast as Mo Fan as they followed him closely behind.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan nervously calculated the number of monsters he had successfully lured while dodging their attacks at the same time.
The monsters here were densely packed. If he was not careful, he could receive an attack from out of nowhere which was likely to snowball from there.
Mo Fan continued to drink potions. He did his best to maintain a stable amount of health.
After luring 200 monsters, Mo Fan finally reached his limits.
He gave up on the idea of continuing to lure monsters as he quickly ran back.
After running to Little Chrysanthemum, he started to circle around.
The monsters following behind him quickly formed a circular monster pile.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mo Fan immediately ordered Little Chrysanthemum and the summoned minions. Under the protection of the summoned minions, Little Chrysanthemum entered the pile of monsters.
Then, a cry burst out from Little Chrysanthemum!
It was the skill ‘Chrysanthemum’s Cry’!
-2,200 (Chrysanthemum’s Cry)
-2,200 (Chrysanthemum’s Cry)
-2,200 (Chrysanthemum’s Cry)
…
Waves of damage numbers floated out from above the monsters’ heads.
In less than five seconds, every Demonized Vengeful Spirit in the area perished.
Three consecutive golden lights rose from Little Chrysanthemum’s body.
Mo Fan’s Spiritual Energy increased by 5,810,000 points.
It took less than 10 minutes to lure and kill the monsters.
This leveling speed was simply like riding a rocket.
It felt too awesome and great riding this rocket!
