A mere three hundred essences.
Liang Qu would be embarrassed not to top it up.
The only problem...
After six evolutions, the seventh needed a whopping one hundred and twenty thousand Water Ze Essence. Where on earth did Fatty dig that up from?
Given by the Frog King?
A hundred and twenty thousand, that's no less than twenty-something high-quality Treasure Fish.
The Big River Beaver would have to gnaw wood tirelessly for two years straight to piece together more than a dozen assembly ship models just to exchange for that, when at most the Fat Catfish would mooch some Demon Beast meat from the Frog Tribe. Since when did it get so powerful, feasting on high-quality Treasure Fish?
Upon learning of another chance to evolve, the Fat Catfish was overjoyed and spun in circles, flinging the little Shark Persons riding it clear off.
The little Shen Dragon on Long Eying's wrist couldn't believe it, clutching Eying's sleeve and vigorously shaking it with its dragon claws.
