Chapter 151: Advantage of Rapid Evolution

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a fey that had grown up freely in the wild, the most difficult thing was to raise its quality.

There were even quite a few feys that grew up freely in the wild. However, they were only Elite when they reached Platinum and Flawless when they reached Diamond.

It took a long process to raise the wild feys' quality, but they might be able to do so if they encountered fortuitous opportunities.

This was why Creation Masters could use all sorts of spiritual ingredients to concoct spirit elixirs to attract the wild feys. The spirit elixirs contained pure spirit qi that was a dream for the wild feys.

All lifeforms wanted to evolve and raise their quality. This instinct to constantly evolve was the cornerstone of the great poetry of life formed by the evolution of thousands of species in the history of life. The instinct for the desire to evolve had long been engraved in the soul of every fey since birth.

Therefore, only the Creation Masters with the ability to evolve feys and raise their grade and quality were especially favored by the wild feys.

Although the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was a source-type lifeform and not really a true fey, it was destined to tread this hard path. Fortunately, it would easily dissolve this hardship thanks to Lin Yuan.

When the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee reached Bronze, it could be raised to Legend with Lin Yuan's help.

Given the increase of Lin Yuan's spirit qi rank and his Creation Master ability, it would only be a matter of time before the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee reached pinnacle Diamond. Thus, there was only one thing difficult for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, which was how to comprehend the Willpower Rune.

This was actually what Lin Yuan would like to see.

Since the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee did not fuse the Willpower Rune to evolve into a Fantasy Breed at Bronze, like Lin Yuan's other feys in order to maximize their potential, Lin Yuan could keep upgrading it with no worries.

It was also easier for him to upgrade the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee if it did not evolve into a Fantasy Breed.

This undoubtedly made up for Lin Yuan's current lack of combat power.

Given Lin Yuan's ability as a C-rank spirit qi professional, it was easy to enhance a source-type lifeform like the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to Gold.

The Gold/Legend source-type Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was not inferior to some pinnacle Gold feys that had yet to reach Legend. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏.com

It had already given Lin Yuan the qualification to fight in the Radiance Hundred Sequence and the combat power to become the Radiance Federation's top youth.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was more like a tool for Red Thorn, which only needed to provide a corrosive cavity to the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee in order for the queen bee to treat Red Thorn as its god and serve it.

The highly acidic digestive fluids and energy were not a big deal to Red Thorn.

The leaf-shaped fey storage box that the Moon Empress had given to Lin Yuan contained enough dimensional lifeforms' flesh to feed Red Thorn to Platinum.

The energy needed to feed the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was just a drop in the ocean compared to the energy from the dimensional lifeforms' flesh in the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box.

Red Thorn's greatest problem was that it was good at quickly unfolding the situation and starting a war of attrition. It belonged to a powerful group-attacking method.

The Gold Acid Corrosion Queen Bee perfectly made up for Red Thorn's lack of lethality toward a single target.

Red Thorn's vines had lethality and control power, which would undoubtedly give the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee more opportunities to strike.

Red Thorn also had no obvious shortcomings after cooperating with the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to make up for its flaw in single-target combat.

Only then would Red Thorn be considered a truly terrifying killing machine.

As the vines danced in the spread-out sea of flowers, there was a hidden powerful source-type lifeform, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. It could perfectly cooperate with Red Thorn to sneak-attack and kill some powerful single enemies.

Lin Yuan put the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's insect egg back in the Diamond fey storage box.

It was undoubtedly unsuitable to summon Red Thorn on the Divine Travel Black Swallow's back. Thus, it was also impossible for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's eggs to hatch.

Lin Yuan had originally wanted to simply go to the Endless Forest for wild harvesting. But along the way, he had met Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran, and even experienced a battle in Millstone Town.

At the same time, he had comprehended the Twilight Willpower Rune from the sunrise that had risen after the battle, gathered many feys with great potential, and had gained quite a lot along the way. If not for meeting Chu Ci now, he even had the desire to enter seclusion.

This was because Lin Yuan could probably only transform what he had gained into actual power through one or two months of seclusion.

As Chimey did not have a suitable Willpower Rune previously, it had been stuck at Bronze/Legend.

It could now evolve into a Fantasy Breed with the suitable Twilight Willpower Rune.

Lin Yuan could not help but look forward to the changes that would happen after Chimey evolved into a Fantasy Breed with the Twilight Willpower Rune. He also wondered what exclusive skill it would learn.

A fey would undergo a life-changing transformation when it became a Fantasy Breed.

Based on the Jasmine Lily's evolution into a Fantasy Breed alone, it was clear what kind of boost a fey would have after evolving into a Fantasy Breed.

Lin Yuan finally understood why so many experts loved to enter seclusion. During seclusion, they could calm their minds in a relatively undisturbed environment and become stronger and sort themselves out as they wished. At the same time, they could also decide what path to take next during seclusion.

Lin Yuan had been sitting on the Divine Travel Black Swallow these days.

As he looked down at the mountains and land under the glow, he felt that they were majestic.

The battle in Millstone Town had really strained Lin Yuan's mind. The relaxation he had for the past few days had allowed him to feel refreshed.

After the Divine Travel Black Swallow sent Lin Yuan into Redbud City and saw him confirm his order on Star Web, it flew away.

He had spent 3 Radiance dollars riding the Platinum Divine Travel Black Swallow, causing him to have the idea of cultivating avian transportation feys.

In the Radiance Federation, it was possible to privately cultivate such feys.

Ordinary spirit qi professionals would need a contract with the transportation feys before they were allowed to register in the Radiance Federation. Only these registered transportation feys were eligible for driving certificates.

However, Creation Masters were the only exceptions. They could directly apply for a fey's driving certification in the Creation Master Association without forming a contract with the fey, provided that they had the Creation Master Association's verification that the Creation Masters themselves independently cultivated their avian feys.

Actually, the Radiance Federation was strict in this area because it was afraid that the avian feys would lose control in flight and result in some accidents.

There were many different kinds of avian feys that individuals could ride on. These feys would usually not have very low grades.

However, such avian feys would cause extreme destruction if they lost control. Besides hurting the pilot, they might also harm innocent people, which would cause many unnecessary disputes.

Chapter 152: Plan to Forge an Iron Bucket Sister

In fact, the Radiance Federation's avian feys were pretty expensive, especially those rare ones that could transport people. That was because avian feys were not only a means of transportation, but they were also regarded as a kind of luxury item to show one's status in the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan was walking on Redbud City's streets and looking at the thriving city at noon. Unexpectedly, he discovered that he shared a special connection with Redbud City, as his state of mind would be different whenever he came to this city.

The first time he had come to Redbud City was when he had hurriedly brought her Bronze Sharp Iron Horn Bull to Chu Ci. At that time, Lin Yuan had just regained his ability to sense spirit qi and discovered his ability as a Creation Master.

He had an infinite vision of his future because, in his opinion, he had started to erect his life goals again at that time.

The second time was when he had passed the Creation Master's test, becoming a Class 2 Creation Master. At that point, Lin Yuan had confidence that he was on the right path.

And now, he had come to Redbud City for the third time.

After experiencing a life-and-death battle, he had a clear view of this world. Lin Yuan had long been firm about the path he wanted to take in the future.

Then, he suddenly heard a hawking voice. "Cornbread, 1 Federation dollar for four!"

Lin Yuan could not help but reveal a cheerful smile. Every time he came here, he would always see this stall selling cornbread. It was really fate.

He walked up and spent 1 Federation dollar on buying four loaves of cornbreads. Then, he bit on one of them. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l) /m

After eating high-grade spiritual ingredients for so many months in the Radiant Moon Palace, Lin Yuan realized that he had become much pickier than before. He found it hard to eat the cornbread that he found delicious a few months ago.

It was a bittersweet memory, but Lin Yuan felt that it should be a sweet memory when he swallowed this chunk of cornbread. In his opinion, his former strong self was a sweet memory.

Lin Yuan had cleansed away all the impurities in his body thanks to the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and allowed himself to be perfectly optimized toward his own genetic model. After that, his excellent temperament had become extraordinary.

His cheerful youthful aura gave off a kind of indescribable carefreeness and attracted many people's attention along the way.

Lin Yuan had been a precious pearl that was shimmering slightly before. He had gone down his memory lane and had long been an unparalleled handsome young man.

Before Lin Yuan went to the Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy, where Chu Ci was, he made a special trip to the store to buy some fruits. Among these fresh fruits were also some unique to Ascending Dragon City and Millstone Town that could not be bought in Redbud City.

Lin Yuan was going to give these fruits to Teacher Bao. He would always remember those who had once helped him or Chu Ci when he had been weak.

When Lin Yuan arrived at Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy's entrance, he dialed Chu Ci's number. Soon, Chu Ci answered the phone.

"Lin Yuan, why are you calling me at this time? I've just finished my training class! You don't know how strong this Sharp Iron Horn Bull is! Those seniors can't even beat me!" Chu Ci quickly spoke when she picked up Lin Yuan's call.

Lin Yuan could not help but touch the back of his head. He was skeptical whether Chu Ci had forgotten she was a defense-type spirit qi professional.

Chu Ci was simply taking the Sharp Iron Horn Bull as an offense-type fey and actually competing with the seniors during the training class. What if those seniors hurt her?

Despite Lin Yuan's carefreeness, he could not help but worry about his only kin in this world.

Upon noticing Lin Yuan's silence, Chu Ci immediately knew what the problem was. "Aren't I trying to improve myself as soon as possible? Brother, you're a Creation Master now. If I don't work harder, won't I be pulled further and further away from you?"

When Chu Ci called him 'brother', he immediately knew that things were not that simple. Chu Ci should have sustained injuries during the training. Otherwise, given their dependence on each other for so many years, Chu Ci would always call him Lin Yuan. As such, there was nothing good when she called him 'brother'.

Lin Yuan hurriedly replied, "I've arrived at the school entrance. Where are you? I'll go over and find you."

Chu Ci was first happy, but after she looked at the teacher healing her, she could not help but stuck out her tongue.

Just then, her teacher said, "Chu Ci, you have fractured your arm. My fey can only heal external injuries, so you might need to nurse your broken bones for a while."

When the teacher spoke, Chu Ci wanted to cover the phone, but Lin Yuan still heard that she had fractured her arm.

Chu Ci could not help but feel guilty. Whenever Lin Yuan called her, he would always tell her to take care of herself, and she would tell him not to worry. Unfortunately, he found out about her injury this time.

Chu Ci's training regime was very harsh. She would usually be in the training ground practicing combat skills with her seniors, which inadvertently caused minor and major injuries to her. Nonetheless, the healing teacher could always treat her, but it was the first time she had a bone fracture.

"Brother, hold on. I'll go find you, but you might have to accompany me to buy some spiritual ingredients to treat fractures."

Chu Ci glanced at her arm—that she did not dare to exert any force on—and knew that she could not conceal such an injury even if she wanted to.

Lin Yuan was somewhat frustrated now, as Chu Ci had always been stable since young. How had she sustained injuries just because of a rough defense-type fey like the Sharp Iron Horn Bull?

Lin Yuan had always wanted to forge Chu Ci into an iron bucket that nobody could break, but he would always put aside this thought.

Now, he felt the need to have this thought again in order to prevent Chu Ci from being injured again. It was necessary to forge her into an iron bucket.

The Earth Powder Butterly's cocoon in Lin Yuan's Spirit Lock spatial zone had hatched. He had turned the Normal Earth Powder Butterly inside into a Bronze Vajra Butterfly.

Before the Earth Powder Butterly evolved into a Vajra Butterfly, Lin Yuan had already upgraded it from Elite to Epic. Therefore, there were three kinds of exclusive skills for the Bronze Vajra Butterfly.

Two of these exclusive skills were not considered good, so Lin Yuan had given up on them.

The third exclusive skill, Counterattack Tremor, had overjoyed Lin Yuan. This exclusive skill could allow Chu Ci to defend against an opponent's attack while rebounding a portion of the damage back in the form of an energy tremor.

For the Vajra Butterfly's Elite ability, Vajra Shield, it would fly around the target while condensing a strong transparent Vajra Shield on the target.

This was the prototype of an iron bucket in Lin Yuan's mind.

The Vajra Butterfly's exclusive skill, Counterattack Tremor, would allow Chu Ci to strengthen her defense while also possessing some means to counterattack.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, this should be the choice of a defense-type spirit qi professional.

In contrast to the Vajra Butterfly, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was simply a fake defense-type fey.

After some discussion with Chu Ci, Lin Yuan had chosen the Vajra Butterfly. If the Vajra Butterfly was cultivated properly, it could evolve into a Jadeite Butterfly when it was at Gold.

The Jadeite Butterfly had a reputation of being the top shield among the Gold defense-type feys. This meant that the hardness of the shield released by the Jadeite Butterfly was recognized as the top among the Gold defense-type feys.

However, if he wanted to cultivate the Vajra Butterfly into a Jadeite Butterfly, he would need a huge amount of resources and extremely pure spirit qi.

Presently, Lin Yuan only had the Radiance dollars from Cheng Wu's beetle-shaped Diamond fey storage box, so he did not need to worry about resources.

Creation Masters might not be able to obtain extremely pure spirit qi, but for Lin Yuan, it could not be any simpler. He only needed to channel the spiritual power in his body. Thus, Lin Yuan was confident of evolving Chu Ci's Vajra Butterfly into a Jadeite Butterfly at Gold.

Nevertheless, he would have to consider at length about the Jadeite Butterfly evolving into the legendary Tourmaline Emperor Butterfly.

At that point, Lin Yuan had come up with a plan to forge his sister into an iron bucket.

Stack the thickest armor!

Even if she took the most vicious beating, she also had to counterattack with the greatest injury!

And not get injured at all!

This was what a mature older brother should do!

Lessons were still ongoing in the Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy, so few people were in front of the school.

At the entrance, a young girl's nervous head revealed itself. The young girl saw the cheerful young boy standing at the entrance and immediately smiled happily. Just as she wanted to rush over, she suddenly thought of something.

She quickly revealed a pitiful smile and said sweetly, "Brother, I haven't seen you for so long. I missed you!"

Chapter 153: Ice in a Jade Kettle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan was still a bit angry that Chu Ci, a defense-type spirit qi professional, had actually injured herself in a battle with her seniors, causing her to fracture her arm.

If she wanted to practice her combat skills, she could have just gone to climb the Star Tower and fight.

Lin Yuan had not seen Chu Ci for a few months. When he saw her, he vented out the yearning he had been suppressing.

When Lin Yuan had suffered Cheng Wu's sneak attack and was on the brink of death, all he could think of was Chu Ci, his only kin. As her older brother, if Lin Yuan really died, Chu Ci would have nobody to rely on.

Upon seeing Chu Ci's pitiful face, her big, clear eyes, as well as her calling him in a sweet tone, Lin Yuan knew that she was using the same trick. However, he could do nothing about it. His anger due to his worry dissipated.

Lin Yuan was a carefree person. When facing his only kin, Chu Ci, the double standard was inevitable.

If other defense-type spirit qi professionals like Chu Ci fought with their seniors and worked hard to improve their offensive skills, Lin Yuan would certainly give them a thumbs-up and praise them immediately.

After all, the Star Web's combat training techniques were less practical than actual combat, which was also why the school's live combat classes were not on Star Web.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, it was unrealistic to not get injured in actual combat. Nevertheless, when it concerned Chu Ci, he did not think so.

The moment he saw Chu Ci walking over with her hands, which would hurt even when she walked, hanging at her sides, Lin Yuan started feeling distressed and activated the Silver Fantasy Breed Jasmine Lily's Heal ability.

A beam of green light filled with vitality shone on Chu Ci's injured left arm. As the green light flowed, Chu Ci felt an indescribable comfort surrounding her arm.

A moment later, Chu Ci realized that her arm did not hurt anymore. She tried moving her arm and said in surprise, "Lin Yuan, when did you become a healing-type spirit qi professional?"

Chu Ci previously only knew that Lin Yuan had the talents to become a Creation Master, but she did not expect him to be a healing-type spirit qi professional as well.

She hurriedly ran to Lin Yuan's side and happily observed Lin Yuan's hand that had cast the healing energy.

Chu Ci usually missed Lin Yuan the most when she was learning in school, and after she knew that his body had recovered, her worries were gone. She was happy on his behalf, whether he was a Creation Master or a spirit qi professional, but she valued his health the most.

It was just like how Lin Yuan worried about her injury.

In Chu Ci's heart, Lin Yuan was a giant that had always been protecting her. The word 'older brother' would always be the most sacred and powerful in her heart.

Chu Ci only had a vague impression of her parents, as she was still young when they had gone to fend off against the dimensional rift, not to ever return.

Therefore, even when Lin Yuan was physically weak, he still managed the fey store. No matter how hard it was, he still clenched his teeth to support his family and her education.

Whenever something good happened to Lin Yuan, Chu Ci would be happier than when something ten times better happened to her—such dependence for over ten years was indescribable.

Although it was late autumn in Redbud City, it was still hot, but there was some wind. This autumn wind blew a strand of Chu Rui's hair apart and made one stand of her foolish hair stand up, which Lin Yuan hurriedly pressed down.

Chu Ci had relatively hard hair from a young age. Every autumn, some strands of foolish hair would always stand up when the wind blew. And every time Lin Yuan saw it, he would skillfully press them down.

"Do you still have any classes today?"

Chu Ci replied after thinking for a while, "I'm supposed to have live combat classes in the afternoon, but since I've fractured my arm, I should be resting in my dorm."

Lin Yuan handed the fruits he was carrying to Chu Ci and said, "Then I'll accompany you to ask for leave from Teacher Bao."

Even though Chu Ci could rest in the dorm and did not need to go to the live combat class in the afternoon due to her fracture, her arm was now healed. Thus, it was necessary to inform Chu Ci's homeroom teacher. After all, Lin Yuan believed that they should adhere to the school rules.

Lin Yuan wanted to give the fruits to Teacher Bao as well.

Soon, they arrived at Teacher Bao's office, knocked on the door, and went in. Lin Yuan saw Teacher Bao sitting at his desk and writing something.

After taking a closer look, he realized that the thick book was actually a lesson plan.

Teacher Bao was a Spiritual Ingredient Analyst teacher and taught theoretical knowledge.

Lin Yuan saw the thick book of lesson plans that Teacher Bao was writing and knew that he had made a lot of efforts to make it easier for the students he taught to understand the lesson.

When Teacher Bao saw Lin Yuan beside Chu Rui, he obviously froze for a moment and looked carefully before confirming Lin Yuan's identity.

Chu Ci and Lin Yuan had been together for over ten years. No matter how one looked at it, they were the closest to each other.

Although Lin Yuan's temperament had changed greatly, Chu Ci did not feel there was any difference. This was because Lin Yuan was the best in every way in her heart.

However, Teacher Bao had only met Lin Yuan twice and was a little afraid to recognize him. The young man in front of him was cheerful and handsome with a distinguished temperament. It was not too much to say that he was outstanding.

After confirming Lin Yuan's identity, he nodded and said in a solemn tone as he looked at Chu Ci's hand, "Chu Ci has exceptional talent. She became a C-rank spirit qi professional last week, but she has suffered a severe arm fracture. You have to pay attention to that. If you can prepare some spiritual ingredients to speed up the healing process, coupled with the school doctor's treatment, you can enhance her recovery speed."

If Chu Ci's fracture could be healed earlier, she could train as early as possible and not waste her excellent talent. It was very important for spirit qi professionals to have a foundation at a young age.

Chu Ci raised her hands and said to Teacher Bao with a smile, "Teacher Bao, my brother has healed my hand."

She did not think there was anything wrong with her words, but Teacher Bao could not help but look at Lin Yuan in surprise.

Teacher Bao did not expect that Lin Yuan would be a healing-type spirit qi professional with such potent healing abilities that could heal bone injuries. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

He had always been a serious person, but when he saw Chu Ci's hand had healed, he could not help but wear a smile on his face. The smile on his wrinkled face made his serious face look a bit more benevolent.

Lin Yuan told Teacher Bao his purpose for coming, so Teacher Bao waved his hand and allowed Chu Ci to take leave.

Before leaving, Lin Yuan asked Chu Ci to place the fruits on Teacher Bao's desk. However, before Lin Yuan could say anything, Teacher Bao handed the fruits back and said, "As her guardian, you picked Chu Ci up and still bought fruits. Take them away. I have to write lesson plans."

Then, he continued writing up the lesson plans.

Lin Yuan did not mention leaving the fruits for Teacher Bao. Instead, he left the office with Chu Ci.

There were always some of the most honorable people in this world who taught and educated others without expecting anything in return.

As the saying went, "Silvery hair sets off against the sun and moon, and loyalty and passion irrigate the new flowers."

Teacher Bao had probably forgotten about the help he had given to Chu Ci in the past. Although Teacher Bao was not very strong and was just an ordinary person among the masses, he always did things like ice in a jade kettle1, shining with the light of greatness.

Chapter 154: Our Daughter Has Grown Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan and Chu Ci were already walking on the Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy's campus and about to leave the academy. Since classes had ended, the campus was filled with laughter and noises.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly heard the two classmates beside them say, "What's the loneliest thing you've ever heard?"

Another classmate opened his mouth without even thinking about it and answered, "Being the only one who hasn't handed in your homework."

Then, he asked, "Do you know what extreme sports are?"

The student that had asked previously was obviously an expert and replied instantly, "While the teacher is collecting our homework, you copy the other classmates' homework to make up for your own."

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard that. These two students were really witty. Fortunately, he never had to worry about Chu Ci's studies.

Chu Ci, who was walking beside Lin Yuan, had never stopped smiling and was apparently in an excellent mood.

Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci and said, "You're really something! You've become a C-rank spirit qi professional, but why didn't you tell me in the call? Had Teacher Bao not told me, how long were you going to hide it from me?"

Chu Ci stuck out her tongue before she then wrinkled her nose and replied, "I was going to tell you personally when you would visit me, but Teacher Bao leaked it out instead!"

Besides giving herself a peace of mind regarding her own progress, the happiest thing was probably to share with Lin Yuan so that her closest kin could share in the joy of her own improvement.

Lin Yuan was actually surprised. Although he knew that Chu Ci had exceptional talents, he did not expect her to become a C-rank spirit qi professional from a D-rank in such a short time of cultivation.

He knew that he was different. Upgrading a spirit qi professional's rank relied on enhancing feys, so there was no need to compare himself with Chu Ci.

However, the Radiance Hundred Sequence's top talents, like Sequence #3 Overflowing Sea, Long Tao, were currently only pinnacle B-rank spirit qi professionals. It was very difficult for them to reach A-rank.

Chu Ci was only 15 years old. When Long Tao was at that age, he might not have been able to break through to C-rank.

Just then, Chu Ci said softly, "Lin Yuan, I seem to have comprehended a Willpower Rune after breaking through to a C-rank spirit qi professional."

After saying that, Chu Ci circulated her spiritual energy. A Willpower Rune with a dark metallic luster flew out of her spiritual mind and circled her.

Lin Yuan's surprise had yet to be dissipated, and he did not expect Chu Ci to bring him another surprise again.

Since Chu Ci had already comprehended a Willpower Rune at the age of 15 meant that she could now possess a Fantasy Breed fey.

Although there was no absolute boundary between the grade of a spirit qi professional and their contracted fey, they were closely related.

For example, D-rank spirit qi professionals could only command Bronze feys, C-rank spirit qi professionals could only command Gold feys, B-rank spirit qi professionals could command Platinum feys, while A-rank spirit qi professionals could command Diamond feys.

For feys to reach Suzerain, their contractors needed to reach S-rank.

If the spirit qi professionals could not reach the standard and raised their feys' grade, they might likely cause a very embarrassing situation.

For example, their spiritual energy would not be able to withstand the load and collapse.

As spirit qi professionals raised their ranks, their spiritual energy and the spirit qi in their bodies would also increase. If they had a few contracted feys, their spiritual energy would barely be able to reach the standard without collapse.

Nonetheless, their bodies' spiritual power certainly could not keep up with the consumption needed for the feys to release their skills. Hence, it had always been a big no-no for spirit qi professionals whose ranks were not up to standard to rashly find a Creation Master to raise the grades of their feys.

Chu Ci was currently a C-rank spirit qi professional and could handle Gold feys. Her Willpower Rune contained a metallic, oppressive feeling, and it was evidently suitable for the Sharp Iron Horn Bull.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly heard a pleasant yet strange voice. "Lin Yuan, your sister really has amazing talents! She will have a boundless future when she grows over time!"

Even if the Mother of Bloodbath was experienced and knowledgeable, it could not help but sigh at Chu Ci's talent.

After seeing that Chu Ci possessed a Willpower Rune, Lin Yuan said seriously to her, "Call Teacher Bao later and ask for ten days' leave."

Lin Yuan said nothing, but Chu Ci asked nothing either. She just called Teacher Bao.

Upon hearing that Chu Ci was taking a leave of absence, he thought that something had happened to her hand, so he just approved of her leave without hesitation.

Lin Yuan's envisioned plan of forging his sister into an iron bucket was just at the planning stage. But due to her talents, he had to implement this plan now.

Chu Ci was done with the phone call, so Lin Yuan reached out to touch her head before saying, "Chu Ci, you can now be called a powerful spirit qi professional."

When Chu Ci had a Fantasy Breed fey, she could indeed afford to be called powerful.

Apart from needing a Willpower Rune, it was hard to evolve Bronze Fantasy Breed feys to Legend. Most Creation Masters could not do so. Vissit n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

Feys also had talents. Those with exceptional talent could also reach a high quality without the Creation Masters' help. However, such feys were always rare.

Lin Yuan did not know what rank of Creation Masters could evolve a Bronze fey into Legend.

An ordinary Class 4 Creation Master clearly could not do so, and Lin Yuan did not know if pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters could succeed with that.

However, it was not a problem for him to raise the feys into Legend at Bronze.

As a C-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan only needed five days to enhance the feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and evolve them from Bronze to Legend.

In the past, it was indeed difficult for Chu Ci to have a Fantasy Breed at Bronze, as she needed to have a Willpower Rune. However, she had one now.

Lin Yuan had asked Chu Ci to take ten days off because he wanted to improve her capabilities.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, as if he was thinking about something, Chu Ci said softly to him, "Lin Yuan, I didn't tell anyone that I comprehend a Willpower Rune."

Lin Yuan laughed. The saying, "Poor children matured early.", was indeed right.

Lin Yuan, who had lived two lifetimes, naturally knew the principle of "An outstanding tree would definitely be blown down by the wind."

Chu Ci, who had grown up in a tough environment, also understood this fact.

Lin Yuan was very pleased with Chu Ci's cautiousness. At the same time, he looked firmly at her and said, "It's good to hide your abilities, but you don't have to do that now. You can show your talents to the fullest."

The moment he learned that Chu Ci had comprehended a Willpower Rune, he had decided that he would let his Master, the Moon Empress, know about Chu Ci's talent.

Lin Yuan could afford all of Chu Ci's future feys and resources.

However, what he needed was to make sure that Chu Ci, who had such extraordinary potential, could show her talents in front of everyone, and nobody would do anything to her because they were jealous.

Although Lin Yuan had always wanted to explore the world single-handedly, he knew that from the moment he had gone through the ceremonial rites to have the Moon Empress as his Master, the Moon Empress had become his teacher and his kin with no blood relations.

The Moon Empress, one of the Class 5 Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation, would always support him.

With her around, Chu Ci's safety would not be a problem.

As Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci, he could not help but feel proud. His heart was filled with pride!

My younger sister actually has exceptional talents, so why should she hide? She should be shining among the crowd!

At the same time, Lin Yuan's gaze also became increasingly determined. Given his current improvement speed, in just two years, he would be able to protect Chu Ci.

As Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci, he suddenly had a feeling as if his daughter had grown up.

Chapter 155: Fantasy Breed Choice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Since he had decided to improve Chu Ci's capabilities, Lin Yuan did not delay at all. After Lin Yuan and Chu Ci went to have a meal, they headed to Redbud City's Creation Master Association.

Lin Yuan had previously completed the Class 2 Creation Master's test in Redbud City's Creation Master Association.

This time, Lin Yuan met Elder Ning first. He realized that Elder Ning was still nurturing that Spiral-Toothed Shark.

As compared to two months ago, the Spiral-Toothed Shark had become much bigger and was more robust. This was an omen that the Spiral-Toothed Shark was about to return to its ancestry line.

It seemed that Elder Ning's desire to activate a trace of the Megalodon's bloodline in the Spiral-Toothed Shark's body was really likely to come true.

After meeting Elder Ning, Lin Yuan rented a breeding room in the Creation Master Association as a Class 2 Creation Master. Then, he prepared some fresh fruits rich in spirit qi, which would be his meals.

In the next few days, Lin Yuan wanted to improve Chu Ci's rank.

Although Chu Ci had been attending school in Redbud City for some time, it was still her first time in the Creation Master Association.

As a member of the Radiance Federation, even though Chu Ci was not really clear about the various aspects of how Creation Masters evolved feys, she was aware of the Creation Masters' status in the Radiance Federation.

The fact that Lin Yuan had become a Creation Master made her proud. Lin Yuan's expectation for Chu Ci was the same as her expectation for him. It was just that she wished for him to be healthy.

Nevertheless, they were proud of the other when any of them made any achievements.

Lin Yuan took the Vajra Butterfly out of the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box in the breeding room.

When he looked at this Vajra Butterfly, particularly its exclusive skills, Lin Yuan was very satisfied and said to Chu Ci, "This Vajra Butterfly suits you. It can take up the duties you have as a defense-type spirit qi professional."

After the Vajra Butterfly's appearance, Chu Ci only saw a butterfly the size of an adult's fist fluttering around her. The butterfly's wings shone with a dark metallic luster, carrying many metallic patterns.

While fluttering, the Vajra Butterfly flew to Chu Ci's side with Lin Yuan's gesture. Chu Ci reached out, and it immediately landed on her hand. She played with the Vajra Butterfly for a while before forming a contract with it.

Chu Ci was naturally very clear of her duties as a defense-type spirit qi professional. In a squad, a defense-type spirit qi professional had to cooperate with the teammates and fulfill the duties of defending her comrades.

Although the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was a defense-type fey, it was undoubtedly more of a combat-class fey. Its Sacrifice ability was also only effective toward Chu Ci.

Chu Ci currently had a contract with only the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, so she was unqualified to form a squad with other people as a defense-type spirit qi professional.

With the Vajra Butterfly's addition, however, it was clearly different.

After Chu Ci formed a contract with the Vajra Butterfly, Lin Yuan let her summon the Sharp Iron Horn Bull. When the Sharp Iron Horn Bull appeared, it made a 'mooing' sound. It gently rubbed against Chu Ci's hands, still worried about the injury she had sustained previously in the battle. The Sharp Iron Horn Bull was apparently very attached to her.

Then, it saw Lin Yuan and turned to Chu Ci. Only with her gesture did it then walk to his side. It shook its head at Lin Yuan as a greeting.

Apparently, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull still remembered Lin Yuan. Even though it remembered that Lin Yuan had saved it at that time, after it had become Chu Ci's contracted fey, it only listened to her words. Feys had spirituality, and they always chose one person until the end.

Seeing the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's state, Lin Yuan knew that it had been nurtured well. Its evolution from Bronze I to Bronze IV was undoubtedly fast without the help of a Creation Master.

In addition, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's body was much stronger than before, with richer metallic luster on its body. The horn on its head was also sharper.

It was evident that the Sharp Iron Horn Bull usually ate a lot of metals to have such a wonderful development.

However, Chu Ci now was faced with a choice, as she had comprehended the Willpower Rune that contained a strong sense of metal.

The Willpower Rune was very suitable for both the Sharp Iron Horn Bull and the Vajra Butterfly that she had just formed a contract with.

Under such circumstances, as a contractor, Chu Ci had to make a choice.

Lin Yuan knew that the choice would be difficult at this point, but Chu Ci had to choose because there was only one Willpower Rune.

"Chu Ci, your Willpower Rune is suitable for both the Vajra Butterfly and the Sharp Iron Horn Bull. Which fey do you have in mind to evolve into a Fantasy Breed?"

"Fantasy Breed?" Chu Ci asked back in surprise, somewhat baffled.

Why did Lin Yuan suddenly mention the Fantasy Breed? And he even asked me to choose between the Sharp Iron Horn Bull and Vajra Butterfly to evolve into a Fantasy Breed?

Although Fantasy Breeds were not a piece of common knowledge, there was knowledge of it in Chu Ci's course.

Naturally, she knew that she needed to raise a fey to Legend before evolving into a Fantasy Breed.

She looked at Lin Yuan in a daze. Don't tell me he can evolve a fey to Legend?

Lin Yuan reached out and scratched her nose, making her come back to her senses. "Silly girl. When have I ever lied to you? Your choice this time concerns your future development, so you have to choose carefully."

Chu Ci had unconditional trust in Lin Yuan, so she carefully pondered over the question he had asked her and weighed the Willpower Rune's usage in her mind. After some contemplation, she said firmly, "I choose the Sharp Iron Horn Bull."

Lin Yuan sighed as he personally hoped that she would choose the Vajra Butterfly. This was because if the Vajra Butterfly evolved into a Fantasy Breed, it could protect Chu Ci so that she almost would not be subjected to the danger of an arm fracture like today.

After all, as a very powerful defense-type fey, when the Vajra Butterfly evolved into a Fantasy Breed and awakened its second exclusive skill, its defensive ability would only become stronger.

Even though Lin Yuan wanted to forge an iron bucket sister, Chu Ci was independent as a spirit qi professional. She had the right to choose her future path.

As her older brother, Lin Yuan would only intervene in major problems and could only guide her on the choice of her path.

At that moment, Lin Yuan asked very carefully once again, "Have you really decided it'll be the Sharp Iron Horn Bull?"

Willpower Runes had always been unattainable. Although Chu Ci had obtained one, nobody knew when she would have another one.

Thus, all the spirit qi professionals were very cautious about the feys for the Willpower Rune. Once they chose a certain fey to fuse with the Willpower Rune, their combat style and combat system would likely change with this choice.

Chu Ci nodded without hesitation, her eyes shining brightly. "Lin Yuan, I'm sure!"

Chu Ci had her own goal. She wanted to pass the Redbud Hundred selection, get into the top ten, and represent Redbud City to compete in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

She had her considerations. If she chose the Vajra Butterfly, even though her defense capability could be improved, her combat ability would undoubtedly be weaker than choosing the Sharp Iron Horn Bull.

The individual capabilities were undoubtedly more valued than team capabilities in the Redbud Hundred's selection or the Radiance Hundred Sequence's competition.

Thus, if she wanted to get into the top ten of the Redbud Hundred and be qualified to join the Radiance Hundred Sequence's competition, it would be more suitable for her to evolve the Sharp Iron Horn Bull into a Fantasy Breed.

At the same time, Chu Ci had long since adapted to the combat style with the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, which was her first fey.

Actually, Chu Ci, a 15-year-old girl, also had her own ambition. She wanted to stand on the Radiance Hundred Sequence through her own efforts.

Although Lin Yuan had always been protecting her, she also wanted to be fully-fledged and able to protect him. This was the warm ambition of a young girl.

After Chu Ci truly decided, Lin Yuan started to prepare for the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's evolution.

Chapter 156: Legend Sharp Iron Horn Bull

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan was more compatible with healing-type feys, support-type feys, and plant-type feys.

As healing support, he had nurtured the source-type fey, Red Thorn, into a combat-class fey with output.

Based on Red Thorn's evolution into its current state, it was evident how Lin Yuan was obsessed with output.

However, Lin Yuan did not expect his younger sister Chu Ci to be the same as him. As a defense-type spirit qi professional, she manipulated a big iron bull and was immersed in output.

Indeed, family members did have a similar way of thinking.

It would take Lin Yuan over five days to evolve the Bronze Sharp Iron Horn Bull to Legend.

In the past five days or so, Lin Yuan alone was enough to evolve the Sharp Iron Horn Bull in the breeding room. At that moment, the bell rang.

When Creation Masters were usually nurturing feys in the breeding room, nobody would disturb them.

Lin Yuan knew Elder Ning had come. When he came to visit Chu Ci, he only wanted to send her the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and the Vajra Butterfly he had nurtured for her to form a contract with. However, he did not expect that Chu Ci would comprehend a Willpower Rune.

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull would need some spiritual ingredients to evolve into Legend. Lin Yuan had not prepared the spiritual ingredients beforehand, as it had been beyond his expectations.

Therefore, when he met Elder Ning earlier, Lin Yuan had asked him to see if any spiritual ingredients in the Creation Master Association's material room could evolve the Sharp Iron Horn Bull.

Lin Yuan opened the door and saw Elder Ning standing there with Ning Xuejun, who had taken part in the Creation Master's test in the Creation Master Association. Ning Xuejun was Elder Ning's granddaughter.

At that moment, she was holding a Bronze fey storage box.

When Ning Xuejun saw Lin Yuan, she nodded and greeted him, while a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Lin Yuan had left a deep impression on her as few people like him had scored perfect marks in all three knowledge spirit qi occupations' Rank 1 exam.

Seeing Lin Yuan again, Ning Xuejun was surprised that, as compared to before, his temperament seemed to have changed a lot.

Elder Ning looked at Lin Yuan and said with a laugh, "Little Yuan, I've prepared all the spiritual ingredients you've asked for."

Lin Yuan was now finally relieved. At the very least, he did not have to waste time collecting the spiritual ingredients needed to evolve the Sharp Iron Horn Bull into Legend. He touched the back of his head and smiled cheerfully. "Elder Ning, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The Bronze Sharp Iron Horn Bull needed a huge amount of ferromanganese ores and metal essences to evolve to Legend. These two were not very rare spiritual ingredients.

The metal essences were the crystals left behind after a mixture of many metals was forged at a high temperature, while the ferromanganese ores were dark-blue sheet metal in the deep earth.

The ferromanganese ore was particularly hard. If one touched it, their fingers would feel a stinging sensation from the sharpness of the metal.

The metal essences and the ferromanganese ores were two kinds of spiritual ingredients, of which 250 kilograms of metal essences and 1,000 kilograms of ferromanganese ores were needed.

The metal essences' price was about 2 Radiance dollars/500g, while the ferromanganese ores cost nearly 8 Radiance dollars/500g.

In the past, Lin Yuan could not take out this amount of nearly 20,000 Radiance dollars. But ever since he obtained Cheng Wu's beetle-shaped fey storage box and the mountain of Radiance dollars in it, his hands were no longer tied. If he needed spiritual ingredients to nurture a fey, he could just buy them now.

Ning Xuejun handed the Bronze fey storage box to Lin Yuan and looked at Chu Ci, who was beside him. At a glance, she knew that Chu Ci was Lin Yuan's younger sister, even if they had completely different temperaments.

Lin Yuan was the cheerful kind, allowing people to feel comfortable. On the other hand, Chu Ci was quiet and had a trace of coldness. Although she was smiling, she seemed to have a faint sense of detachment to everything besides Lin Yuan.

Despite their different temperaments, they had similar eyebrows. With a glance at their eyebrows, it was clear that they were siblings.

Ning Xuejun kindly reached out her hand and greeted Chu Ci, who was startled but revealed a faint smile and shook hands with her.

Upon seeing that, Elder Ning looked at Chu Ci and said with a laugh, "Little Yuan, you can't take care of this little girl now that you're going to nurture the fey inside. Why don't I bring her out and let my granddaughter accompany her to stroll around?"

Lin Yuan had been thinking that he could not allow Chu Ci to stay bored in the breeding room while he was nurturing the fey. He needed to concentrate on nurturing the fey for five days. However, he could not bear to throw Chu Ci aside. He still felt more at ease, allowing Chu Ci to be with Elder Ning and Ning Xuejun.

Chu Ci turned to look at Lin Yuan. After he nodded, she followed Elder Ning and Ning Xuejun out of Lin Yuan's breeding room, leaving only Lin Yuan inside.

Lin Yuan also took the metal essences and ferromanganese ores out of the Bronze fey storage box that Ning Xuejun had given him. Then, he touched the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's horns and said, "Metal lump, eat these metal essences and ferromanganese ores, and I'll upgrade your quality."

Although the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was not as intelligent as Chimey, it could still understand Lin Yuan's words. After understanding what Lin Yuan meant, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull immediately snorted and gobbled up all the metal essences and ferromanganese ores Lin Yuan had put on the ground.

Although these metal essences were 250 kilograms, and the ferromanganese ores were 1,000 kilograms, which all sounded a lot, both were very dense and unusually heavy. Therefore, they actually looked small in size.

Just as the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was happily eating the metal essences and the ferromanganese ores, Lin Yuan gently smiled as he looked at it.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, the seriously injured Elite/Epic Sharp Rock Bull back then had been a great bargain, as it was an extremely good fey.

Now that Lin Yuan had money, he could easily buy a lot of defense-type feys that were more outstanding than the Elite/Epic Sharp Rock Bull.

Fortunately, it had comprehended the Sacrifice ability at Elite that allowed it to be above most of the defense-type feys.

Back then, when Lin Yuan's body had recovered and could sense the spirit qi, he did not have the time to accumulate resources. Thus, it had been really hard for him to prepare a defense-type fey for Chu Ci.

As an older brother, Lin Yuan also did not have a guilty conscience. At that time, he had said, "I may not give you the best, but this is the best I can give you now."

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull had transformed greatly due to its Sacrifice ability. It was now about to go through its second metamorphosis in life, which was also an extremely important ascension in Chu Ci's life.

Every cell of the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's body quickly absorbed the pure spiritual power that Lin Yuan channeled in its body.

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull's cells seemed to have been activated by this pure spiritual power and showed a hungry state, scrambling to absorb the energy in the metal essences and ferromanganese in its stomach.

Time flew by, and Lin Yuan basically rested little these five days.

At that moment, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull suddenly started 'mooing'. Vissit n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull that was nearly three meters in size had soared to three and a half meters, becoming even stronger. Its horns became even sharper as they flashed with a metallic luster. The Bronze Sharp Iron Horn Bull finally reached Legend.

Next, Chu Ci had to fuse the Willpower Rune with the Sharp Iron Horn Bull to evolve it into a Fantasy Breed.

Chapter 157: The Rising Masstone in the Greenish-Black Halo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At noon, Chu Ci and Ning Xuejun returned after eating out together. For the past few days, after getting along with Chu Ci, Ning Xuejun always felt that she was repeatedly refreshing her senses.

At first, Ning Xuejun had felt that Chu Ci was indifferent and detached from everything apart from Lin Yuan. But after interacting with her, Ning Xuejun realized that was not the case. She did not feel that faint sense of detachment either.

Ning Xuejun finally understood that the sense of detachment actually originated from her character of not wanting to bother about anything that did not concern her, as well as a hint of shyness.

Elder Ning had been researching on how to nurture the Spiral-Toothed Shark, as usual, these days. Therefore, Ning Xuejun was always with Chu Ci, regardless of whether they were eating or resting, and they gradually became friends.

"Chu Ci, we're not going to this place to eat tomorrow. Why do they have to put so much garlic in their cold dishes! I still have to attend to some newcomers for the Creation Master's test in the afternoon!" Ning Xuejun pouted.

Upon hearing what Ning Xuejun said, Chu Ci took a piece of watermelon-flavored hard candy out of her pocket. It had a very refreshing watermelon flavor and could cover up the strong garlic smell in the mouth.

Chu Ci had always had the habit of putting a piece of hard candy in her pocket, as Lin Yuan used to get dizzy from time to time due to his weak body or him having low blood sugar because of the daily labor of maintaining a small store. She would give the hard candy to Lin Yuan when he was feeling dizzy.

Even though Lin Yuan's body was now healthy again, Chu Ci still maintained her habit of nearly ten years.

When Ning Xuejun saw Chu Ci hand her the hard candy, her eyes lit up, and she put it in her mouth before saying exaggeratedly, "Chu Ci, the watermelon-flavored hard candy tastes so good! It's much better than chocolate."

Two spirit qi professionals were sitting in the hall on the first floor of the Creation Master Association. They seemed to be women in their 20s and were dressed very beautifully. They should have made an appointment with a Creation Master to nurture their feys.

At that moment, Chu Ci suddenly heard the long-haired female spirit qi professional say, "Last night, my best friend complained tearfully to me that her boyfriend of eight years cheated on her."

The other short-haired female spirit qi professional was clearly interested and responded, "For what reason? Why did he cheat on her? Eight years are so long that they should even already have kids!"

The long-haired female spirit qi professional was fiddling with the decorations on her spirit qi clothes and said with great contempt, "There are no good men."

The other spirit qi professional hurriedly replied, "Yes, I think so too! Otherwise, I wouldn't have always been single." VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Just after she finished speaking, the long-haired female spirit qi professional next to her said with a sigh, "Eight whole years of relationship! Surprisingly, he couldn't resist a single seduction from me."

Ning Xuejun coughed after listening to this conversation, almost choking on the watermelon-flavored hard candy in her mouth.

Chu Ci revealed a strange look and could not help but think in her heart, Is this the world of adults? It's just too scary! Luckily, I'm just a kid.

In the afternoon, Ning Xuejun received the newcomers who came to take the Creation Master test.

On the other hand, Chu Ci was in Ning Xuejun's office watching the videos of defense-type spirit qi professionals fighting in the S Tournament on Star Web, hoping to learn their defense techniques. Just at this moment, she received Lin Yuan's call.

When she entered his breeding room, she saw that her contracted Sharp Iron Horn Bull was much stronger than before, be it in size or the sharpness of its horns.

Lin Yuan was feeding some spiritual metal ingredients to the Sharp Iron Horn Bull so that it could accumulate more energy to prepare to evolve into a Fantasy Breed.

Lin Yuan stood up upon seeing Chu Ci come in and said, "Chu Ci, your Sharp Iron Horn Bull is now at Legend. Fuse the Willpower Rune that you've comprehended with it, and it'll be able to evolve into a Fantasy Breed."

Chu Ci looked at the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, surprised at its significant changes over five days. Although she knew what Creation Masters could do, she had never seen or felt that in school.

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull was rubbing its cheek affectionately against Chu Ci's palm.

While Chu Ci was surprised at the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's change, she also felt happy with its growth brought about by its quality upgrade.

The splendor and magnificence of life laid in development and evolution. Each development and evolution of a fey was a small epitome of the greatness of life.

Lin Yuan raised his brow at Chu Ci's astonished look and said with a smile, "Only when you fuse the Willpower Rune with the Sharp Iron Horn Bull will it truly go through metamorphosis. Chu Ci, how did you come into contact with and comprehend the Willpower Rune? This is very important, as it will affect your exclusive skill."

Chu Ci stuck out her tongue and carefully glanced at Lin Yuan before answering in embarrassment, "It was when I fought against the seniors, and the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was knocked down repeatedly, but it still got up and charged forward. Because of this, I felt its steel-like willpower and comprehended the Willpower Rune."

Lin Yuan held his forehead. What else could he say? Chu Ci had gotten her Willpower Rune out of roughness!

Had his plan to forge his sister into an iron bucket been botched at this point?

Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci's cautious expression and rubbed the hair on her head before saying, "I'll be behind you on your path, so just proudly stride forward!"

Chu Ci smiled brightly and nodded. Then, she said silently in her heart, Brother, I also want to tell you that I can stand behind you. Even if I can't protect you, I think I can help you and fight side by side with you!

She summoned the Willpower Rune from the spiritual spatial zone. When she had summoned it outside previously, it had flashed past, so Lin Yuan had not had the chance to carefully feel it.

But now, this greenish-black Willpower Rune brought out unyielding willpower and a rich metallic feeling that made Lin Yuan feel moved. Through this Willpower Rune, he could see how hardworking a 15-year-old girl and her Bronze Sharp Iron Horn Bull had been.

Chu Ci fused this greenish-black Willpower Rune with the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, causing an intense mooing sound to resound in the breeding room.

It was not as calm as when the Jasmine Lily had evolved into a Fantasy Breed.

In the rich metal halo, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's body trembled violently, clearly enduring the pain. Suddenly, the metal halo flourished, and a pure masstone rose from the greenish-black halo.

At that moment, Lin Yuan and Chu Ci realized that the horns on its head and the sharp sword-like horn on its forehead instantly melted. Then, its body was enveloped in the sudden bloom of the metal halo.

Chapter 158: Everything Is For Being Rougher

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Ci witnessed its horns suddenly melt, and the metal halo envelop its body. When she heard the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's painful mooing, she could not help but be greatly anxious, her mind somewhat shaken.

At that moment, Lin Yuan said, "The Sharp Iron Horn Bull will undergo an all-round change when it evolves into a Fantasy Breed. Since its metamorphosis is based on its genetic model, the pain is inevitable when it reshapes its body."

Lin Yuan's words put Chu Ci at ease, even though the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was mooing painfully.

Chu Ci felt an indescribable heartache for this companion, which she had spent a long time with. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

This greenish-black metal halo was unusually thick, but a ball of pure masstone rose from it and flowed in the metal halo before a kind of obsidian-like luster emerged. Gradually, the obsidian-like luster replaced the greenish-black metal halo. Then, there was a mooing sound that even shook the breeding room.

This obsidian-like luster became restless before condensing, and the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's eyes absorbed all of it.

At that moment, along with Chu Ci's cry of surprise, the Fantasy Breed Sharp Iron Horn Bull finally revealed its appearance.

If the Sharp Iron Horn Bull had sharp horns with heavy armor before, then its body was currently condensed with the strong aesthetics of a battle all over that was hidden behind the surging steel-like willpower, with a determination to go forward.

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull's greenish-black body turned black, which was not just pure black. Rather, it was an obsidian-like flare where all sorts of colors would emerge from a beam of light.

When Lin Yuan looked at the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, he suddenly realized that it suddenly had aesthetics after evolving into a Fantasy Breed. It actually was in a five-colored black color.

But it must be said that the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's obsidian-like body, combined with the smooth metal lines' aesthetics, made it shed its bulkiness.

Based on just its gaze now, it seemed to be a domineering and determined beast.

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull's melted horns did not grow and left two black holes there.

With the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's intent, the metal element that spurt out of the holes would form all sorts of horns on its head.

After its complete evolution, it trotted to Chu Ci's side and fondly rubbed her hands with its head.

In the past, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull had to be very careful every time it came into contact with her, as its sharp horns would cut her hand upon contact.

After evolving into a Fantasy Breed, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull no longer needed to worry about hurting Chu Ci. This was because its horn had elementalized and would condense based on its intent during a battle.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, the elementalized horns were much stronger than its previous horns.

The Fantasy Breed Sharp Iron Horn Bull's horns were much sharper and harder than before, but its elementalized horns' strength did not lie in the hardness and sharpness. Rather, it was in its ability to change its form, length, and orientation at will.

The Sharp Iron Horn Bull had to adjust its horns' angle to achieve maximum damage or defense against the target when charging.

Presently, as it charged toward a target's weak spot, it could control its elementalized sharp horns and condense them into all sorts of forms, so fast that it was difficult to dodge.

It was like when the sharp horns of the Sharp Iron Horn Bull and other horned feys clashed together.

While the Sharp Iron Horn Bull used its elementalized horns to block, it could also instantly condense a sharp black horn to penetrate the target's eyes or even pierce through the skull and brain.

Chu Ci was feeling the changes in the Sharp Iron Horn Bull when her eyes gleamed, full of surprise.

Lin Yuan used Morbius's True Data ability to start checking the Sharp Iron Horn Bull's true data.

[Fey Name]: Obsidian Iron Wild Bull

[Spirit-Lifeform Species]: Horned species/Bull species

[Fey Grade]: Bronze (10/10)

[Fey Type]: Metal

[Fey Quality]:: Fantasy I

Abilities:

[Iron Horn]: Enhance the metallic properties on the nose horn. Disregard injuries and smash into the enemy with full strength.

[Sacrifice]: When the contractor is injured, automatically split the damage with the contractor. If the contractor is injured, it will feed the contractor with its vitality.

Exclusive Skill:

[Pain Absorption]: When receiving damage, absorb a portion of the damage and turn it into vitality.

[Annihilation Gaze]: Domineering battle consciousness and war fervor drive its instinctive footsteps. The Obsidian Iron Wild Bull instantly transforms all the damage taken in a battle into a mental impact on the opponent.

Lin Yuan frowned at the true data. The Sharp Iron Horn Bull should now be called the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw that the exclusive skill after the Sharp Iron Horn Bull had become a Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull.

This rough fey was really something!

After the Sharp Iron Horn Bull evolved into a Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull, it was getting farther and farther away from the trajectory of a defense-type fey.

But when observing the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's abilities, Lin Yuan discovered that its abilities had been upgraded after becoming a Fantasy Breed.

Its basic abilities had better penetration than before. The biggest change was its Sacrifice ability it had learned at Elite. While this rare ability could share the contractor's damage, it now could feed its vitality to the contractor.

This made Lin Yuan look at the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull in a new light.

It seemed that as a defense-type fey, not only did the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull want to become a combat-class fey, but it also wanted to be a healing-type fey.

What a greedy bull!

In a team, defense-type spirit qi professionals were responsible for taking up the defense and needed to be healed by healing-type spirit qi professionals.

However, not only could the Sacrifice ability be used as a shield for the fey to get injured instead of the contractor, but it could also be used as a large mobile blood bag.

Combined with the exclusive skill, Pain Absorption, it had learned at Bronze, it could absorb part of the damage and turn it into vitality. It could directly raise the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's endurance.

Given its excellent healing system and the exclusive skill it had learned after becoming a Fantasy Breed, the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull had turned into the sharpest sword.

Nobody knew how much damage it would take in a battle.

After being attacked, the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull could absorb part of the damage and replenish its vitality. If the opponent could not kill it in one strike, it would be no different than an unkillable cockroach.

Based on its Annihilation Gaze, if the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull unleashed a mental attack through its eyes from all the damage it took during the battle, then the feys or spirit qi professionals hit by it would likely become fools or even die.

Lin Yuan found that the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull was simply a defense-type fey that could attack and heal, but all these were for the sake of being a rougher fey.

Lin Yuan recorded the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull in his little notebook and blamed Chu Ci's roughness on it.

However, he then realized that the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's rare Sacrifice ability and the Vajra Butterfly seemed to be able to help him with his plan of turning his sister into an iron bucket.

Would you be afraid of an iron bucket who could counterattack and replenish her vitality?

But Lin Yuan felt that his previous plan needed to be modified again. Just as Chu Ci looked at him, another refined version of his plan arose in his heart.

Chapter 159: Spirit Food Pavilion

In Lin Yuan's opinion, with the Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull and the Bronze/Legend Vajra Butterfly, Chu Ci should have few worthy opponents among her peers and in the Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy. At the same time, its Annihilation Gaze gave it a proper means of attack.

It did not only have a basic attack like inflicting damage with its horns.

Now, it could attack on a mental level.

I'll hit you if you hit me, and I'll do the same if you hit me again!

But if you hit me after I replenish my vitality with Pain Absorption, watch me use my Annihilation Gaze!

An iron bucket was not scary, but one full of thorns and with automatic recovery was!

However, Chu Ci's combat style was more inclined toward an individual, rather than taking up the defensive duties in a team. Therefore, Lin Yuan would have to focus on team defense in his future choice of feys for her. This was because a true defense-type spirit qi professional could not be separated from the team.

"Lin Yuan, this little iron block is so strong now after becoming a Fantasy Breed! I can sense its power has increased over five times than before!"

Lin Yuan's eyebrows jumped. Was it really appropriate to call such a rough Obsidian Iron Wild Bull a little iron block?

"Not only has its strength improved, but it has also experienced a complete change in other aspects. When you go to the live combat class and fight with the senior who injured your arm, you'll know."

Upon hearing that, Chu Ci's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then I'll wait until I try it when I go to the live combat class! Senior Zhao Liang is the Year 3 training class representative. I can get some credits if I can beat him."

Lin Yuan snorted lightly and thought, If Zhao Liang, that Year 3 class representative of the live combat class, fights against the Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull, it will certainly give him a good time!

As one needed to fight freely to truly achieve the purpose of real training, even if the live combat class teacher was watching, it was inevitable to get injured. Although Lin Yuan knew he could not blame Senior Zhao Liang for Chu Ci's injury, she was his younger sister! Also, he always had a double standard when it came to her!

Chu Ci sent food over to Lin Yuan daily these few days. When she sent him his three meals, she realized that he would only eat one meal, which was before his daily rest. Also, Lin Yuan had been enhancing her fey.

Even though Chu Ci had watched Lin Yuan suffer ever since she was young, she inevitably felt heartbroken seeing him like that.

It was now afternoon, but Lin Yuan had yet to eat, so Chu Ci said, "Lin Yuan, let's go eat outside!"

Chu Ci wanted to say they would go to eat his favorite food. Even though she rarely strolled around in Redbud City, her classmates would inevitably talk about it, so she unintentionally also noted some places.

When she thought about it, she realized that Lin Yuan never seemed to have expressed any food he loved or hated in particular from a young age.

Every time she picked up two more chopsticks of dishes, he would rarely take those dishes to eat and leave them all for her.

When the two of them had been depending on each other in the past, he would ensure two dishes for every meal, no matter how hard it was, even though each dish's serving was so pathetic that it would be gone in with just picking them with the chopsticks once or twice.

Lin Yuan had always been caring for her. She remembered little childhood sufferings, but every scene in her memory was the sweetness of relying on each other.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan also felt hungry at this point. He had been focused on raising the fey's quality earlier and hence did not feel hungry.

Now that Chu Ci had evolved the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull into a Fantasy Breed, he had completed the goal of renting the breeding room in the Creation Master Association. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

When Chu Ci said they would go out and eat, Lin Yuan really felt that his stomach was empty, even though it did not grumble.

"Let's go. We'll bid goodbye to Elder Ning, and I'll bring you to eat your favorite seafood."

Chu Ci revealed a bright smile. He would always think about what she loved to eat first.

When Lin Yuan and Chu Ci arrived at Elder Ning's office, they realized he was not there. Lin Yuan thought that he should be nurturing the Spiral-Toothed Shark in the breeding room.

He then brought Chu Ci to the hall on the first floor and found Ning Xuejun, who was receiving newcomers in the hall at the moment.

Ning Xuejun was sitting on a chair, waiting for the newcomers taking the Creation Master test to come out. Lin Yuan went forward and said, "Sister Xuejun, I'm done with the breeding room. Thank you for taking care of Chu Ci for the past few days. We'll be leaving. Please tell Elder Ning on our behalf."

Ning Xuejun nodded with a smile and replied, "No problem. He said the Spiral-Toothed Shark would be evolving in the next few days, so his mind is in the breeding room."

Ning Xuejun then made a calling gesture to Chu Ci, who immediately returned the same gesture and revealed a bright smile.

Lin Yuan felt warm at that sight. Other girls of Chu Ci's age were well-protected and made good friends.

Ever since Chu Ci started attending school, he had never heard her talk about friends. It now seemed that Chu Ci and Ning Xuejun had gotten along and become friends, which made him feel at ease.

Lin Yuan had never wanted Chu Ci to be too mature but hoped that she could enjoy her childhood to the fullest. For so many years, this was the reason Lin Yuan had worked so hard. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on Chu Ci attending school.

After leaving the Redbud City's Creation Master Association, Lin Yuan brought Chu Ci to the Spirit Food Pavilion not far away.

The Spirit Food Pavilion was an organization similar to Ostrich Logistics. It was just that the Ostrich Logistics did logistics while the Spirit Food Pavilion opened restaurants.

The Spirit Food Pavilion had opened restaurants in all the 32 major cities in the Radiance Federation. It made all the meals with various spiritual ingredients.

It also had all sorts of famous, excellent wine, which was very popular in the Radiance Federation.

There were no delicacies cooked with the ingredients from Normal and Elite feys.

Bronze was the lowest grade of the ingredients, and some signature dishes even had Platinum ingredients.

However, the price of meals made of Platinum ingredients was astronomical. Few of those people who were not rich could afford to pay the price.

Lin Yuan had brought Chu Ci here because the seafood was very delicious and famous in the entire Radiance Federation. On the other hand, she was now studying at the Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy and had to train every day.

Since this was a precious prime time in Chu Ci's life, Lin Yuan intended to give her long-term custom-made set meals with spiritual ingredients from the Spirit Food Pavilion, and the Spirit Food Pavilion would deliver her daily three meals.

Although there was not much effect eating food with nutritious spiritual ingredients for a few days, it was different when accumulated.

When Lin Yuan walked to the Spirit Food Pavilion entrance, he saw a young couple arguing.

"Jiang Yan, let's break up! You're simply eating too much!"

The girl slammed her fists on the boy's head. "My name is Zhang Yan!"

The boy was stunned. "Which Zhang[1]?"

The girl gave him another slam. "It's Zh-ang[2], Zhang! You ordered one plate of chicken wings, and I only ate all four of them! How am I eating too much!"

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly heard someone call him from behind. He turned around and found an acquaintance.

Chapter 160: Little Frog Findings Its Mother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Yuan turned around, he found the person calling him was Ling Wu, who had brought him to meet Ling Xiao in Redbud City.

Ling Wu quickly took two steps forward and said, "Lord Lin Yuan, are you here to eat at the Spirit Food Pavilion?"

Lin Yuan nodded and did not have the strength to criticize how Ling Wu addressed him. He smiled and looked at Chu Ci before answering, "I'm here to have a meal with my sister."

Ling Wu looked at Chu Ci and could not help but feel his heart thumping. As Ling Xiao's subordinate officer, even though Ling Wu did not know why Ling Xiao had brought Lin Yuan to the Royal Capital, based on Ling Xiao's attitude toward Lin Yuan, he knew that Lin Yuan had an extraordinary background.

Thus, he hurriedly said, "Lord Lin Yuan, your sister is a Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy student? At noon, the principal will also be present in the private room on the Spirit Food Pavilion's third floor. Why don't both of you go there?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. "I'll just have a good meal with my sister, so I won't be going."

Upon hearing that, Ling Wu nodded and did not speak further. He took his leave and went into the Spirit Food Pavilion.

Chu Ci looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Lord Lin Yuan?"

Lin Yuan looked at her and replied, "Lordess Chu Ci, please speak your mind."

Chu Ci was a little shocked. Based on Ling Wu's words, although she knew that Lin Yuan was very formidable, she did not expect him to be doing so well.

Nonetheless, she was not too surprised. When she had seen Lin Yuan talking to Elder Ning in the Creation Master Association, she had already been surprised.

Even if Ling Wu was City Lordess Ling Xiao's subordinate officer, he was incomparable to Elder Ning, the Creation Master Association's Vice President.

Lin Yuan had rejected Ling Wu because, in his opinion, Chu Ci just needed to rely on her own talent and strength.

Earning respect with strength would earn one dignity.

It was just like when Cheng Rui was conferred as the top Creation Master of the younger generation and named as 'Tribunal Sun' when he was at Class 2.

Perhaps, those who were not within the Creation Masters' circle would feel envious. Still, based on Long Tao's attitude toward Cheng Rui, Lin Yuan knew that Cheng Rui, who had earned the title of being a genius by fame alone and not strength, was nothing more than a clown in the eyes of the true geniuses.

After all, in a world where martial arts were respected, strength was the foundation of everything.

Lin Yuan hoped that Chu Ci could later embark on a path full of splendor.

Everyone had free will, but in the end, the only answer was the righteous way of life.

When they entered the Spirit Food Pavilion, they saw the decorations inside had ancient elegance. Deep mellow zither music played, just like Rain Pattering on the Banana Leaves1. The zither sound was tranquil and gave people a comfortable feeling of shunning the world.

Even though Lin Yuan had lived two lives, he also had to sigh.

The Spirit Food Pavilion had almost reached the point of being impeccable from its exquisite decoration alone.

Lin Yuan and Chu Ci did not go to the private room upstairs. Instead, they sat down in the hall where there were many diners around them.

Although eating in the bustling hall was not as quiet as in the private room, there was the fragrance of food.

Lin Yuan pushed the menu to Chu Ci, who looked at the prices and pushed it back to him. She said, "Lin Yuan, this place is really too expensive! Why don't we go to another place? The barbecued fish place you took me to last time was super delicious."

Lin Yuan rubbed the hair on her head and handed the menu back. "I have money now. I can afford whatever you like."

Chu Ci took a very long time but only ordered two seafood stew made with Bronze ingredients. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Lin Yuan took the menu and ordered several dishes made from Silver ingredients according to Chu Ci's liking.

Although the Steamed Fish with Chilli Pepper was made with Silver ingredients, the chili peppers were Gold ingredients.

Chu Ci looked at Lin Yuan worriedly, afraid that he would overspend on this meal and cause him to be money-tight afterward.

He could understand her thoughts. After all, they had been frugal for over ten years. However, he wanted to change her way of thinking. They had to be frugal when they had no money, but now that he had money, it would be a waste not to spend it.

At that moment, the dishes they ordered were served one by one. While the service staff was serving them, they heard a little girl around five or six years old at a nearby table ask, "Mom, if the little frog doesn't return home, will its mother be worried?"

The middle-aged woman at her side was clearly her mother. She was taking the braised bullfrog dish when the little girl asked that question, causing her hands to freeze in the air. She felt awkward and did not know how to answer her.

Then, the service staff who served Lin Yuan hurriedly went forward to relieve the situation and said, "It won't. They're all here."

Lin Yuan was drinking the seafood stew and nearly choked by the shrimp inside. This answer that destroyed one's naivety was simply outstanding!

He could see that Chu Ci was happily eating this meal made from spiritual ingredients. Upon sensing how she was, he also ate a lot more than before.

Even though it was Lin Yuan's first time at the Spirit Food Pavilion, he always felt that the taste was familiar, as though he had tasted them in the past.

After the meal, Lin Yuan booked two months of set meals made from Silver spiritual ingredients for Chu Ci. Given Chu Ci's current rank, she was most suited to eat such food.

After that, he brought her to the Treasure Pavilion in Redbud City and bought a huge batch of metal spiritual ingredients and energy nectar that the Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull and Vajra Butterly needed to regularly eat, respectively.

After this purchase, Lin Yuan found that if he used a low-grade fey storage box to store so many spiritual ingredients, it would be inconvenient for Chu Ci. Thus, he ordered a custom Diamond fey storage box from Ostrich Logistics for her.

Although Lin Yuan knew that it was very expensive, he did not expect such an outrageous price. If not for Cheng Wu's Radiance dollars, he really could not afford the Diamond fey storage box.

Lin Yuan deliberately did not evolve the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull into Silver because Bronze Fantasy Breed feys were more reflective of their talents.

Since Chu Ci was going to pursue the route of a genius, then she would have to go until the end!

Lin Yuan had accomplished his goal of coming to meet Chu Ci. Then, he discreetly gave the bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar to Chu Ci and said, "Chu Ci, this Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar can cleanse the impurities in your body and raise your potential. Drink all of it, and you can cleanse all the impurities in your body at once."

Seeing Lin Yuan speak so solemnly, Chu Ci remembered his words. Even though she did not know what the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar was, it must be something extraordinary if it could cleanse the impurities in the body and raise her potential.

Ever since Lin Yuan had left last time, Chu Ci had applied for the school's single dormitory so that she could have enough private space to better improve her strength. When she returned to the dorm, she would first drink all the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.

After sending Chu Ci back to school, Lin Yuan went to meet City Lordess Ling Xiao. She and Elder Ning were considered experts who had helped Lin Yuan, so he respected them both very much.

Before he left Redbud City after doing that, he called his master, the Moon Empress.

Chapter 161: Congratulations! It Hasn't Been Healed!

In the Radiant Moon Palace's breeding room, the Moon Empress was concocting with spiritual ingredients. With her natural movements, she completed a bottle of light-purple concoction.

The Moon Empress shook her hand, and the light-purple concoction turned into an aromatic mist that enveloped a Diamond/Epic lotus fey in the lotus pond. This fey quickly absorbed the light-purple aromatic mist, and in a moment, it evolved into Diamond/Legend.

But when doing so, most of the aromatic mist was used up. What was left spread out and was absorbed by the other lotus feys in the lotus pond.

At that moment, the Moon Empress's cell phone, which she had not used for a long time, on the table rang.

If she wanted to meet anyone, she could just summon them. If anyone wanted to meet her, they had to see whether they were worthy enough to do so.

The Moon Empress did not save many numbers in her cell phone besides those exceptional experts from the Radiance Federation. Of course, there were exceptions, such as Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress looked at her cell phone, and a gentle smile crept on her cold face when she saw the caller ID. She answered the call. "Lin Yuan, it's been a while since you came to see me at the Radiant Moon Palace."

Lin Yuan hurriedly replied, "Master, I went to the Endless Forest for wild harvesting some time ago. I'm now in Redbud City again. I'll go visit you when I go to the Royal Capital."

He did not tell her about the dimensional rift outside Millstone Town and the battle that had ensued, as he was afraid she would worry.

Although he said nothing, the Moon Empress had long known about it since it was such a big thing that involved Lin Yuan.

Upon finding out, the Moon Empress marveled at Lin Yuan's strength. She had always known that he had exceptional talents as a Creation Master, but she did not expect him to be such a powerful combat-class spirit qi professional.

While she was proud of Lin Yuan, she could not help but feel that she had neglected her duties.

The Moon Empress was not worried about Lin Yuan's safety, as the Mother of Bloodbath was his Path Protector. It could take Lin Yuan away in one piece from even a Class 3 dimensional rift.

After chatting with the Moon Empress for a while, Lin Yuan stated his purpose of calling her. "Master, I would like to ask you a favor."

Upon hearing that, the Moon Empress nearly giggled in joy. During that period, she had been worried to death. What should she do when her independent disciple did not rely on her, his master?

As a result, the Moon Empress, who rarely went onto Star Web, even searched for posts there but did not find any answers.

She then anonymously posted a post for help, but the answer she had received made her so angry that she almost crushed her phone.

If Cold Moon had not found out that the Moon Empress was angry and had taken the initiative to crush the cell phone on her behalf, the Moon Empress would have crushed it instead.

Now that the Moon Empress heard Lin Yuan had something he needed her help with, the sense of accomplishment as his master arose in her heart.

"Tell me, what do you need my help with?" The Moon Empress said very generously because there was nothing in the world she could not do.

Afterward, Lin Yuan told her about Chu Ci's situation and his thoughts.

Upon hearing that, the Moon Empress could not help but hold her forehead. She had been happy for nothing. Her disciple sought her help not because he was in trouble but because of his sister.

Nonetheless, the Moon Empress replied very solemnly, "Lin Yuan, don't worry. I'll ask Cold Moon to get this done."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan then ordered a Platinum Divine Travel Black Swallow on Star Web and rode it to the Royal Capital.

When he returned to the Royal Capital, he first confirmed his store location.

During this period, Liu Jie had searched for quite a few locations and had sent Lin Yuan the details of each place.

After narrowing them down, Lin Yuan then realized two places were quite good. One of them was where he had gone for an appointment but had been attacked by Cheng Wu, while the other was an excellent location in the Royal Capital's bustling area.

Lin Yuan needed to choose between the two locations—the well-located bustling area where it was easy to set up the store or the huge one with the nice scenery located in the remote suburbs. However, he still needed to see the places before choosing one.

After he confirmed his store location in the Royal Capital, he would enter a long period of seclusion inside. Firstly, he had to fuse Chimey with the Twilight Willpower Rune and evolve it into a Fantasy Breed. He would then put the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee in Red Thorn's corrosive cavity and let it hatch. After that, he would evolve the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee into Gold.

Given his strength, Lin Yuan had the possibility of climbing to the 100th floor of the Star Tower and ascending to the Celestial Stairway.

If he were to be fighting and raising his rank in the Celestial Stairway, he could most likely be matched with the Radiance Alliance's young pinnacle experts.

Lin Yuan had always kept Liu Jie's Insect Queen in the Pure Land of Bliss. In these few months, the Insect Queen, which had been in imminent danger, had more or less recovered. As long as he spent a few days healing it, it could completely recover. At that time, Liu Jie could restore the Heart of Insect Swarm's strength, which ranked Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

... Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

Liu Jie, who was helping Lin Yuan find the locations for his store in the Royal Capital, was standing there in a confrontation.

"Liu Jie, you're becoming worse! You used to be a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, yet you're actually working as a retainer for a Class 2 Creation Master."

A man with a pair of peach blossom eyes[1] shouted at Liu Jie. His tone seemed to have a fit of indescribable anger.

But before he could finish his words, a thick voice sounded from the side, stopping the man with the peach blossom eyes from speaking further.

The man with the thick voice turned to Liu Jie and said, "Liu Jie, Bai Hao has a temper like this. When he learned that you were injured, he looked around the entire world for you, but you disappeared without a word."

Bai Hao snorted and turned away from Liu Jie.

Liu Jie did not expect that he would meet his former teammates. Before Liu Jie had gotten injured, Liu Jie, Bai Hao, and Wang Fan would always go out to train and do missions.

However, after Liu Jie had gotten injured and learned that he could not recover, he felt downhearted and left the Royal Capital.

He had bidden goodbye to his identity of Heart of Insect Swarm, the former Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, and had become an ordinary down-and-out adventurer.

Upon hearing Bai Hao's words, Liu Jie, who always had a good temper, frowned and responded in a low voice, "I work for him not because he's a Creation Master of a certain class or his strength."

He lowered his head to look at the Class 2 Creation Master crest on his chest and felt that it was particularly hot.

Two months ago, a youth had given him hope for a new lease of life while he was desperate and down, allowing him to once again find his value, his dream, his persistence, and the meaning of his life.

Therefore, Liu Jie had sworn an oath with the Willpower Rune to dedicate his future life as a retainer knight.

However, Liu Jie's words made Bai Hao tremble. He clenched his teeth and looked at Liu Jie before asking, "Has your Insect Queen been healed?"

When Liu Jie shook his head, Bai Hao clapped. "Congratulations! It hasn't been healed."

Bai Hao then left with Wang Fan, who wanted to say something. Wang Fan sighed as he looked at Bai Hao and did not say what he wanted to.

Bai Hao turned around to look at Wang Fan and asked very seriously, "Wang Fan, how much money do you have?"

Wang Fan took out his Star Web Card and handed it to him. "I should have over 20,000,000 Radiance dollars in it."

Bai Hao took Wang Fan's Star Web Card and replied, "I've saved some money in the past two years, so I have 32,000,000 Radiance dollars in my Star Web Card. Counting yours in, we have over 50,000,000 Radiance dollars. Let's see if we can get Liu Jie's Insect Queen healed!"

Wang Fan had long known about Bai Hao's temper and said helplessly, "You never speak properly. You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Have you never thought that you would hurt Liu Jie when you clapped your hands?"

Bai Hao immediately went silent and only said after some time, "He hurt me first. He left without saying a word and did not treat me as a brother."

Wang Fan was speechless for a moment and did not speak.

When Liu Jie had been in trouble, the three of them had just pooled their money together to buy spiritual ingredients for Bai Hao to evolve his fey.

Liu Jie had lost his capabilities and had pooled all his savings in his Star Web Card for Bai Hao, so the latter did not know how Liu Jie had been getting along all these years.

At that moment, Bai Hao said, "Before Liu Jie's Insect Queen is healed, I won't spend a single penny. I'll save them for its treatment." He then let out a strange cry. "Ugh! I can't reward the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess anymore during this period. I don't know if I can maintain my spot of being the top contributing fan."

Wang Fan rolled his eyes. Bai Hao was becoming more and more like a child. He watched the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess's live-streaming on Star Web daily and even rewarded it. He was really hopeless.

Chapter 162: Heart of Insect Swarm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan sat on the Divine Travel Black Swallow's back and endured the discomfort on his butt. He could not help but have the idea of nurturing an avian transportation fey.

Given his spiritual energy, although he could still contract with a Normal/Normal fey that would not use much of his spiritual energy, he clearly would not leave his contracted fey spot for an avian transportation fey.

Lin Yuan was a Creation Master. If he nurtured an avian fey from a young age, even if he did not form a contract with it or could not command it to fight well, there would be no problem using it for transportation.

Before leaving Redbud City, he entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone once again. He found that in the past few months, the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus within had produced young new leaves.

Although the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia, which he cared most about, still looked withered, he was surprised to find that it had extended its roots and grown on the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus's trunk. This clearly meant that the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia was starting to recover.

If he could evolve the Gold Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia into Platinum after it was healed, then it could produce one to three fruits. Lin Yuan could also grow his spiritual energy by eating those fruits.

As he looked at the mountains and white clouds while on the Divine Travel Black Swallow's back, even though he felt his heart and mind open up after looking at them for so long, he did not feel that the mountains and white clouds were hard to come by.

Lin Yuan had nothing to do, so he took the Insect Queen, which had been recovering from its damaged roots, out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

This journey would take a few days. Lin Yuan thought that he might as well completely heal its damaged roots before he met Liu Jie.

Actually, he could heal it all thanks to the fact that Liu Jie's contracted source-type lifeform was the Insect Queen.

If it were other feys or source-type lifeforms at Platinum, Lin Yuan could not heal them.

The Insect Queen was a kind of special source-type lifeform. It needed a huge amount of spiritual energy based on its contract alone, and the contractor could not form a contract with other source-type lifeforms or feys. This was why Liu Jie only had one contracted fey, the source-type Insect Queen.

Once its roots were damaged, then Liu Jie did not have any other feys to use.

If other spirit qi professionals had feys with damaged roots and could not be healed, they could nurture other feys. Although a fey would greatly affect one's talent if they could not use it, the contractor would not end up in a down-and-out state.

On the other hand, it also showed the Insect Queen's power.

Liu Jie had long comprehended a Willpower Rune, but his Insect Queen was stuck at Epic, unable to upgrade to Legend. Therefore, even with the Willpower Rune, Liu Jie still could not evolve it into a Fantasy Breed.

Nonetheless, he was still ranked Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, despite having the Insect Queen as his only fey.

Before the Insect Queen's roots got damaged, Liu Jie had spent a lot of resources visiting Creation Masters everywhere to improve its quality. However, no Creation Masters could upgrade his fey from Epic to Legend. This was because all spirit fluids concocted with spiritual ingredients were not as helpful as the pure spirit qi for the Insect Queen.

The Insect Queen was a kind of lifeform that required extremely high pure spirit qi. In an extremely pure spirit qi environment, even if it was on the verge of death, it could absorb the highly pure spirit qi and activate the powerful self-repair function in its body to restore its damaged roots or even raise its quality.

Without pure spirit qi, no matter how powerful the spirit fluids concocted by Creation Masters were, it could not do so. This was also why after Liu Jie had gotten seriously injured when he guarded the Cold Frost City alone and held off the dimensional lifeforms for half an hour, the Bamboo Monarch, one of the Class 5 Creation Masters, had helped him. However, he still could not heal the Insect Queen's damaged roots.

That was because the Bamboo Monarch had used all sorts of spiritual ingredients to produce spirit qi. Although there were various medicinal properties that could restore the damaged roots, they were not very useful for the Insect Queen. The best recovery medicine for the Insect Queen was pure spirit qi.

Despite the pure spirit qi in the spirit fluid that the Bamboo Monarch had prepared, it was not pure enough for the Insect Queen to activate its body's self-repair function.

But it was different when Lin Yuan used his spiritual power to channel spirit qi into the Insect Queen's body. He did not channel pure spirit qi. Instead, he purified the spirit qi in the world into pure spirit qi through his body before injecting it into the fey's body.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yuan was a porter of spirit qi. He could make the spirit qi very pure while moving it.

At that moment, a purple flesh cocoon appeared in Lin Yuan's hand. He channeled the spiritual power in his body and injected a huge amount of pure spirit qi into the Insect Queen's body with his hands.

This purple flesh cocoon was thumping like a heart, absorbing the pure spirit qi from Lin Yuan like a bottomless pit, with an unusual joyfulness.

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise after two days! He found that the Insect Queen had healed its damaged roots and evolved from Epic to Legend.

In other words, if Liu Jie fused his Willpower Rune with it, the Insect Queen would immediately become a Fantasy Breed. At that time, even if Liu Jie had completely wasted these two years, it was not a loss compared to the Insect Queen evolving into a Fantasy Breed.

It could even be said that after these two years of silence, Liu Jie, who would return with a Platinum Fantasy Breed Insect Queen, could be considered soaring into the sky like a phoenix's nirvana.

Lin Yuan used Morbius' True Data to check the Insect Queen.

[Fey Name]: Insect Queen

[Fey Species]: Bombycidae/Queen Insect

[Fey Grade]: Platinum (4/10)

[Fey Type]: Source/Spiritual

[Fey Quality]: Legend

Abilities:

[Bayonet Beetles]: The small beetles have black armor and six legs as sharp as blades.

[Shield Ladybugs]: The large ladybugs have thick armor. Their hard shells can resist physical and energy damage.

[Plasma Caterpillars]: The medium-sized caterpillars have a huge amount of plasma in their bodies that can cause paralysis and high electric shock damage.

[Lightning Gathering Moths]: The small moths can quickly gather lightning. A large number of them can gather a super-strong lightning cannon. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

Exclusive Skill:

[Blast Recovery]: The Insect Queen can choose to explode the insects it produces and recover some energy contained in their bodies.

Lin Yuan finally understood why Liu Jie only had a Platinum Insect Queen two years ago.

Liu Jie was ranked as Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence and was known as 'Heart of Insect Swarm'.

Chapter 163: Complementing Combination

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Insect Queen had a very special method to obtain abilities. Unlike other feys and source-type lifeforms, which would obtain a corresponding ability when they progress in grade, the Insect Queen would obtain its abilities when it progressed to the next grade and consumed an insect-species fey. The insect-species fey's genetic model would be engraved in the Insect Queen's body. The Insect Queen would then absorb the genetic model and make its ability.

During combat, the Insect Queen could use up the energy in its body to rapidly reproduce the genetic model, producing the insect-species fey itself.

Take Liu Jie's Gold Insect Queen's abilities, Bayonet Beetle, Plasma Caterpillar, Lighting Gathering Moth, and Shield Ladybug. These four insect-species feys' genetic models were all embedded within the Insect Queen's body.

Lin Yuan could see that Liu Jie had put in a great amount of effort in the nurturing of the Insect Queen, especially in terms of the combination and choices of abilities.

When choosing each of the insect-species fey for the Insect Queen's ability combination, Liu Jie didn't pick those insect-species feys with extreme individual strength. Instead, he chose those with genetic models that were easy to replicate. At the same time, the insect-species feys with simple genetic models would have a qualitative change in strength as their numbers increased.

Take the Bayonet Beetles as an example. The Insect Queen was able to produce 100 of them quickly due to their simple genetic model. When a group of Bayonet Beetles crawled on the other feys' bodies, it would feel like an execution of thousands of slashes due to their six blade-like legs.

The Shield Ladybug was a fey that was extremely adept at defense, and when in defense, it would open up an insect shield on its back. When a few of the Shield Ladybugs opened up their insect shields simultaneously, it would form a firm insect-armored wall. It was normally used to defend the Plasma Caterpillars that were adept at energy attacks but weak in defense.

The Plasma Caterpillars' plasma wasn't just extremely lethal, as they also had a paralysis effect. After getting paralyzed, the Bayonet Beetles would then attack relentlessly.

As for the Gold ability, it was the Lightning Gathering Moths. It was an insect-species fey that could fly in an agile manner while expending very little energy. The lightning attack from a single Lightning Gathering Moth wasn't powerful. However, when an eclipse of Lightning Gathering Moths gathered lighting elements, they could blast out a destructive lightning cannon to create immense damage.

Furthermore, the Plasma Caterpillars' plasma could also help the Lightning Gathering Moths gather lightning elements rapidly. It would greatly reduce the loading time required for the group of Lightning Gathering Moths to prepare the lightning cannon.

One had to admit that Liu Jie's contracted Insect Queen was already a combatant with a comprehensive battle style.

Even though the Insect Queen was a Platinum fey and had yet to consume any insect-species fey for its Platinum ability, its current abilities already had an extremely good combination.

The Insect Queen was able to reproduce all sorts of insect-species fey combinations to battle, as though it was controlling an insect horde during a war.

When used along with the Insect Queen's exclusive skill, Blast Recovery, it would be able to effectively reduce the Insect Queen's energy consumption. Those severely injured insects could be used to self-destruct and regain plenty of energy, allowing the Insect Queen to reproduce new insects.

On the other hand, Blast Recovery could also scale up with the numbers. A single Bayonet Beetle might not be lethal or wouldn't create great damage if it self-destructed alone. However, when many Bayonet Beetles exploded simultaneously, it would be enough to deal severe injuries and even threaten the enemy's life.

A Platinum defense-type fey might be able to resist the explosion, but if a wound was blasted open, it would become a nightmare when other Bayonet Beetles crawled inside.

Lin Yuan was involuntarily amazed by the strength of this source-type lifeform, Insect Queen.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, if any fey received a proper and effective nurturing, it might not be the strongest, but it would certainly be useful during battle. However, this idea could only be possible for Lin Yuan's ability to channel spirit qi and help feys to evolve.

There was still close to an entire day of journey before reaching the Royal Capital, so Lin Yuan took a fey that he had captured in the Endless Forest out of the leaf-shaped fey storage box. It was a Normal, snake-species fey, the Green Bamboo Snake. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

The small Green Bamboo Snake was extremely fast and adept at using its venomous fangs to deal damage. It was considered a rather good assassin, offense-type fey.

Lin Yuan started to channel his spiritual power after bringing out the Green Bamboo Snake, allowing large amounts of pure spirit qi to pour into the snake and enhance it.

Soon enough, Lin Yuan enhanced the Green Bamboo Snake to Bronze/Epic. Lin Yuan then stored this Green Bamboo Snake back into the leaf-shaped fey storage box.

If Lin Yuan wanted to open a fey shop, he would need to produce superior feys to build its reputation. For all spirit qi professionals, what could make them more insane than a Bronze fey with high quality?

A higher graded fey might be precious, and Lin Yuan might still be able to tame a Gold fey right now, but he would need to use a lot of effort and time. Enhancing a fey to platinum-grade was currently impossible for Lin Yuan. Furthermore, when the fey was at Bronze, the higher its quality, the more expensive it was.

A Bronze fey would be particularly cheap when its quality was Normal or Elite. However, once the Bronze fey had Flawless quality, the price would be more than most of the low-quality Silver feys. That was because Bronze feys with higher quality would have a higher chance of being enhanced to the Legend quality in the future. They just had to fuse a Willpower Rune with the fey to obtain a Fantasy Breed by then.

A Bronze/Epic fey was already the highest quality of Bronze feys in the market right now. Whenever a Bronze/Epic fey appeared in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion, it would be auctioned out for an astronomical price.

When a spirit qi professional formed a contract with a fey, they would always reserve some spiritual energy and wouldn't use all the spiritual energy on the fey contract. One reason was due to the large number of resources required to nurture feys. Only a rare few individuals were able to afford the resources, even if they were from prestigious families.

Instead of pouring resources into five feys, why not gather the resources to nurture one main fey and two complementing feys? Also, the reserved spiritual energy would be used after comprehending a Willpower Rune.

Many spirit qi professionals would choose to form a contract with another low-grade fey and nurture them from the beginning. Because the faster a low-grade fey became a Fantasy Breed, the higher its potential would be.

Therefore, those who strived for these low-grade and high-quality feys were mostly experts who comprehended Willpower Runes but didn't have high-quality and low-grade feys. Or some of the prestigious families wished to prepare a low-grade and high-quality fey for an exceptional junior of the family, allowing the junior to have a greater head start.

Thus, whenever a Bronze/Epic fey appeared, it would attract plenty of disputes. If Lin Yuan were to release a Bronze/Legend fey, the entire Radiance Federation might be shocked and would cause an intense contest between the major factions.

Lin Yuan wasn't planning to release any Bronze/Legend fey, at least not for now.

To upgrade a Bronze fey to Legend quality would need at least five days. For now, Lin Yuan felt that the most important thing was for him to increase his spirit qi professional rank.

Only by increasing his spirit qi professional rank would he be able to enhance stronger feys and his strength would also improve along.

After Lin Yuan enhanced the Green Bamboo Snake, he didn't enhance other feys. He closed his eyes to rest on the back of the Divine Travel Black Swallow.

When Lin Yuan woke up, it was already noon, and the Divine Travel Black Swallow had just arrived at the Royal Capital.

After alighting the Divine Travel Black Swallow, Lin Yuan felt half his butt was numb.

He gave Liu Jie a call first and fixed the time for their meeting in the afternoon. Subsequently, he went to the Leaning Moon Mountain and headed for the Radiant Moon Palace.

At the entrance of the Radiant Moon Palace, Lin Yuan saw the silver-robed Mystic Moon.

Chapter 164: Picking a Spirit Attendant

Mystic Moon was sweeping up the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia's fallen leaves at the Radiant Moon Palace entrance. Lin Yuan walked over and said, "Senior Mystic Moon, it has been a long time."

Mystic Moon was originally very happy to see Lin Yuan but was shocked by Lin Yuan's greeting. Mystic Moon immediately took a step forward and bowed. "Young Lord, you must not! I cannot afford to be called senior by the Young Lord!"

Mystic Moon's voice was already clear, and his personality was particularly calm. Ηowever, a single greeting of a senior from Lin Yuan actually stirred him up.

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. Cold Moon had also said the same time, and Lin Yuan felt rather uncomfortable.

Lin Yuan then saw Mystic Moon handing over a bottle. Lin Yuan received it and realized it was filled with Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar. The bottle was huge, and if the nectar was poured out, it would probably fill up four or five bowls.

Lin Yuan raised his brows and looked at Mystic Moon with a confused expression.

"Previously, I mentioned that I would treat the Young Lord to the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, but I had to go for a mission. Now that the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia flowers are fully developed in deep autumn, I have harvested them personally to make this bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar. After making it, I smelled it and felt that it was better than Cold Moon's nectar."

While speaking, Mystic Moon let out a bright smile.

Cold Moon had already set off for Redbud City. Had she been around now, she would have mercilessly exposed Mystic Moon. In order to personally make this bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, Mystic Moon had wasted countless Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia flowers.

While Mystic Moon was letting out a bright smile, the Moon Empress' voice echoed behind him. When the Moon Empress detected that Lin Yuan had arrived, she immediately came to the Radiant Moon Palace entrance.

As a result, when she saw Mystic Moon handing over a Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar bottle to Lin Yuan, she was so angry that she nearly choked.

"Mystic Moon, go to the Chef Supreme and help This Empress collect a Spirit Savory Pig."

When Mystic Moon heard the Moon Empress' voice, he quickly turned around and bowed. "Yes, Moon Empress. I shall go immediately."

At this moment, Mystic Moon saw that the Moon Empress was holding a crystal bottle that was at least three times bigger than his bottle. It might be called a crystal bottle, but it was actually like a small barrel, and it was filled to the brim with Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar. He noticed that the Moon Empress was grinding her teeth while looking at him, and it felt as though her eyes were shooting a barrage of black dragon bullets.

Mystic Moon was confused at first, but when he looked at the Moon Empress' eyes, he immediately found out what was happening. He silently felt that it wasn't good as he was standing right in front of a gun barrel. He quickly turned around and left in a hurry to help the Moon Empress collect that Spirit Savory Pig from the Chef Supreme.

When Lin Yuan saw the Moon Empress, he quickly greeted her. The Moon Empress carried out a face-changing act and turned gentle. She then handed over the crystal bottle that was at least three times bigger than Mystic Moon's bottle.

"Master personally made this Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar. I have added plenty of Lotus Heart Dew, and it is much better than Mystic Moon's nectar."

The Moon Empress had already recorded a punishment for Mystic Moon in her heart. My disciple hasn't visited the Radiant Moon Palace for half a month, and you actually dare to give something This Empress' disciple in front of me? Furthermore, you actually gave the same type of gift. Are you trying to infuriate This Empress to death!? Can you give this Empress a chance to show my good side in front of my disciple?!

Lin Yuan didn't reject the bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar given by his master. It wasn't because Lin Yuan wanted to rely on the Moon Empress, but he had already treated the Moon Empress as a blood-relative.

A gift from the elder must not be rejected!

This was a sign of respect and filial piety.

However, it was unknown how much Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia flowers were used to produce so much nectar. When Lin Yuan looked at the two Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassias at the Radiant Moon Palace entrance, he noticed that one of them didn't have any more flowers, while the other didn't have many flowers left either. There was only a thin layer of flowers left behind that were still on the branches.

Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress arrived at the Radiant Moon Palace's inner palace to conduct a question and answer session that they hadn't done for a long time. Lin Yuan had asked everything he didn't understand during this period of time, while the Moon Empress answered all the questions.

The Moon Empress' answers were very concise, and it was so clear that Lin Yuan was able to achieve speedy enlightenment. At the same time, the Moon Empress had also imparted some new knowledge to Lin Yuan in an inquiry method.

This time, the question and answer session lasted much longer, allowing Lin Yuan to receive a huge input of knowledge. During this session, the Moon Empress was also able to feel Lin Yuan's improvement.

After the questions ended, the Moon Empress poured a cup of flower tea to Lin Yuan and asked, "Are you going to be developing in the Royal Capital for the next period of time?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "I wish to open a shop in the Royal Capital and increase my capability as a Creation Master. At the same time, I will prepare to compete for the Radiance Hundred Sequence."

After hearing Lin Yuan's response, the Moon Empress revealed a bright smile as she was very happy that Lin Yuan was going to stay in the Royal Capital. That was because Lin Yuan wouldn't be going to places like Millstone Town or Redbud City, not visiting the Radiant Moon Palace for half a month again.

Presently, she was a master, as well as a senior. She finally understood why the Bamboo Monarch and the Chef Supreme would always be filled with emotions when mentioning their disciples.

It was the same for the Moon Empress now as she was now smiling much more than before as compared to the number of smiles she had in a year. She was also proud and happy to see her disciple growing.

"Since you wish to open a shop, how can you not have an assistant? Later on, pick a spirit attendant from the Radiant Moon Palace to be your assistant. She can help you to attend to the plants that are nurtured in the shop too."

Which of the spirit attendants in the Radiant Moon Palace wasn't a prodigy among Creation Masters? Most of them were so young and already had the capability of a Class 1 Creation Master. Some of the more talented ones were even Class 2 Creation Masters. For such prodigies to attend to plants, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?

Any of the spirit attendants in the Radiant Moon Palace could open up a shop in the Royal Capital, and after a few years of development, their shop's reputation would surely be great. However, if a spirit attendant was attending to the shop, it would certainly save Lin Yuan plenty of trouble.

The Moon Empress said to Cai Cha, who was brewing the tea, "Ask all of the spirit attendants to gather at the main palace. Let Lin Yuan pick his own assistant."

Cai Cha immediately responded and carried out the task given by the Moon Empress. Over ten spirit attendants wearing light yellow robes were standing in the main palace in just a short moment.

Each of the spirit attendants had a kind of indescribable expectation. When they heard the news from Cai Cha, all of the spirit attendants wished they could become Lin Yuan's assistant.

Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple, and seeing how long Lin Yuan had been staying in the Radiant Moon Palace and how the Moon Empress treated him, it was obvious that Moon Empress treated her disciple with great importance. Even the two Moon Envoys, Cold Moon and Mystic Moon, would greet Lin Yuan respectfully as Young Lord. Fôllôw 𝒏ew stories at n𝒐/v(e)

The moment Lin Yuan became the Moon Empress' disciple, he was already seated firmly on the Radiant Moon Palace's second chair. If they could become Lin Yuan's assistant, their status would be entirely different and might even be above the tea attendant sisters. In fact, they might even have comparable status with Cold Moon and Mystic Moon.

These spirit attendants were all young ladies, and it was obvious that most of them took the effort to put on some exquisite make-up before coming.

Wen Yu was currently holding a small amber bottle, but it was already empty. All of a sudden, Wen Yu heard a voice that made her frown.

"You are a sickly person, so why are you standing at the front? Hurry up and stand at the back."

Wen Yu lifted her head and saw that it was none other than Jin Qi who was speaking to her.

"I am just standing in place according to our ranking exam last year. Is there a problem?"

Jin Qi immediately sneered in response. "One month later will be this year's spirit attendants ranking exam. As a sickly person, you will definitely fail. Why do you still have the face to stand at the front?"

Wen Yu's roots had already been healed after consuming the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, and her original talent had already been restored. In fact, the drop of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar had actually allowed Wen Yu's aptitude to improve further.

However, Wen Yu hadn't informed any of these girls, who she had been treating as sisters in the past. During this period of suffering, Wen Yu had understood that these people weren't even her friends, and it wasn't worth it for her to invest any emotions.

Wen Yu was always indifferent and didn't wish to compete, so she simply stood at the back. However, Wen Yu felt that the small amber bottle in her hand was actually boiling up.

Chapter 165: Why Did She Grow a Mouth?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Yu was clenching that small amber bottle tightly and had unspeakable gratitude. She knew that it was that small drop of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar in the bottle that had completely changed her fate.

Without the drop of nectar Lin Yuan had given her, Wen Yu knew that she was destined to be eliminated during the spirit attendant's ranking exam, and she would need to give up her position as a spirit attendant. But with Lin Yuan's drop of nectar, she was at least able to keep her position as a spirit attendant.

She might not be able to get ranked at the top, but even if she was at the bottom, as long as she could stay in the Radiant Moon Palace as a spirit attendant, she would still be able to climb up the rankings.

Furthermore, this drop of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar had actually improved her constitution significantly.

All of the spirit attendants had similar talents, but Wen Yu's improvement in strength was affected due to her damaged roots. Now that her aptitude was better, she would be able to catch up with other spirit attendants' progress in just a matter of time.

When Wen Yu was walking toward the back, she took a glance at Jin Qi and realized that she was smiling. Thus, she looked at the entrance that was connected to the inner palace. Her face was beaming, and her eyes were filled with indescribable expectations.

Wen Yu couldn't help sighing.

Ever since Jin Qi had learned that the Moon Empress had accepted a disciple that was around the same age as her, she had been filled with inappropriate thoughts. Wen Yu had reminded her, but in return, Wen Yu had received Jin Qi's anger.

Wen Yu didn't care if other spirit attendants would be picked, but Jin Qi would definitely not be picked—even though she was no. 2 among the spirit attendants—because their conversation that night had been brought to Lin Yuan's ears by the autumn wind.

Just as Wen Yu walked to the back of all the spirit attendants, Jin Qi suddenly said to the spirit attendant standing in front of her, "Pan Yue! Why do you have a withered flower on your head?" CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

The spirit attendant called Pan Yue quickly removed the red flower on her head and took a look at it. It might not be withered, but it was rather listless. Pan Yue then quickly hid the red flower in her sleeve and said with frustration, "I have looked through many flowers, but you plucked all of them. You still dare to say it is withered, such shamelessness."

When Jin Qi looked at Pan Yue, she felt much better. Pan Yue might be better looking than her, but it was only when she was quiet. Whenever Pan Yue spoke, everything would be torn apart. Why did a beautiful girl like her have to grow a mouth?

How could such an ignorant girl be picked?

Jin Qi was filled with confidence in herself. In terms of strength, she might only be ranked no. 2, but in terms of speech, Pan Yue would never be able to compare with her. Once Pan Yue started speaking, she would lose.

At that moment, two figures appeared at the entrance connected to the inner palace.

There was a woman wearing moon-colored robes with a cold expression and graceful bearing.

There was a handsome, sunshine youth with a faint smile. Anyone who saw him would feel that he was particularly amiable.

As the two figures walked into the Radiant Moon Palace's main palace, all of the spirit attendants bowed in unison. "Greetings to the Moon Empress, greeting to Lord Lin Yuan."

The spirit attendants might all be bending down, but they knew that they would be like carps leaping into the dragon gate and would never be the same again if they were picked. Therefore, when they were all looking at the ground, they were all nervous and filled with expectations.

Perhaps when Lin Yuan was making a choice, he would be picking someone randomly, and it was indifferent. However, to these spirit attendants, it was truly considered the greatest fated opportunities of their life.

The Moon Empress turned to look at Lin Yuan and said lightly, "Lin Yuan, pick one yourself. If you feel that one spirit attendant isn't enough, then pick two."

The Moon Empress' words made all the spirit attendants delighted, but the youth immediately responded, "Master, one is enough."

Lin Yuan only wanted to open one shop, so one spirit attendant was already enough. He didn't feel it was necessary to have an additional spirit attendant.

When all the spirit attendants lifted their heads, they had varying expressions, but all of them had a sincere expectation.

When Lin Yuan glanced at all the spirit attendants, he realized that the only spirit attendant he was familiar with and had spoken with was only Wen Yu. He had quite a good impression of Wen Yu, so he simply pointed at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu was standing at a position farthest from Lin Yuan, and when he appeared, she was clutching onto the amber bottle with increasing strength. It would be false if Wen Yu said that she wasn't nervous, and it would be even more pretentious if she said she didn't wish for Lin Yuan to pick her. However, at the same time, Wen Yu wished to say thank you to Lin Yuan personally.

In Wen Yu's heart, the person she was most grateful to was the Moon Empress, who had established her life. But now, there was another person, and it was Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had rescued her shattered life, which was already established, allowing her shattered life to become settled again.

When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan pointing at her, she felt as though all of her strength had vanished. Her mind was in chaos, as there was pleasant surprise, excitement, and also disbelief.

However, there was more of an indescribable peace of mind. If she was able to become Lin Yuan's assistant, she wouldn't have to say thank you to Lin Yuan. Instead, she could use her actions as an assistant to repay the favor to Lin Yuan.

When the Moon Empress saw Lin Yuan pointing at Wen Yu, she said, "The one that is picked can stay behind. The rest of the spirit attendants will go back to their respective tasks."

The spirit attendants looked rather bewildered as none of them imagined that Wen Yu would be picked. The most astonished person was none other than Jin Qi.

Jin Qi had always been very confident in herself, but she knew that she might not be picked. Nonetheless, she never ever expected that Wen Yu would be picked. At this moment, Jin Qi knew that she wasn't even qualified to be jealous.

The instant Wen Yu became Lin Yuan's assistant, Jin Qi, and Wen Yu's status had a drastic difference. If Wen Yu wished to take revenge on her, she could just find a reason for Jin Qi to be dismissed from the Radiant Moon Palace. All of her expectations and fantasies had turned gray now.

Just as Ji Qi was going to walk out of the Radiant Moon Palace with a disappointed expression, she heard a cracking voice that echoed in her ears. "If you find too many excuses for yourself and if it continues, anyone will become depressed."

When hearing this statement, Jin Qi turned around to see a calm Pan Yue. Before Jin Qi could get angry, she couldn't help asking, after seeing Pan Yue's face that wasn't disappointed at all, "Are you not disappointed at all?"

Pan Yue rolled her eyes and giggled. "What is there to be disappointed about? As long as I can go onto the Star Web to see those energetic young people, my life is fulfilled."

Jin Qi felt even worse after hearing Pan Yue's strange peal of laughter.

The Moon Empress gave some comments after Lin Yuan picked Wen Yu and returned to the inner palace.

The Moon Empress knew everything that happened within her Radiant Moon Palace, but she had never meddled in Wen Yu's affairs before.

For any place with people, it would be a martial world, and the martial world was a place of contest. It was already so for places with ordinary people, let alone the Radiant Moon Palace where all the spirit attendants were prodigies.

The contest between spirit attendants was just like the calm water on the surface—there were raging undercurrents.

But it was because of this reason that true pillars were able to be filtered out from all of these prodigies.

Chapter 166: Why Can Frogs Fly?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lin Yuan had lunch with the Moon Empress, he took Wen Yu down the Leaning Moon Mountain and was prepared to head toward the agreed place with Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan was fiddling with his cell phone, ready to book an avian fey. It was indeed hard for him to travel without an avian fey.

When Wen Yu secretly glanced at Lin Yuan fiddling with his cell phone, her eyes lit up. She then said softly, "Young Lord, I have ready-made avian feys here. You don't need to book them from Star Web."

She channeled her spiritual energy and summoned a four-meter-long bird with a wingspan of six meters.

Lin Yuan felt that the large bird looked rather beautiful. It was covered in white feathers with a faint luster that looked like scattered sunlight. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

He used True Data to check it and discovered that this large bird was a Silver Sunlight Egret. Ardea feys were relatively rare among the avian feys, but they also had high potential, growing up mostly with extraordinary combat power.

However, Sunlight Egrets were a surprise among them. They were a kind of feys with limited attack abilities. Their bodies' scattered sunlight could soothe one's mind, and most abilities they comprehended were to better increase their speed.

It could be said that Sunlight Egrets were very outstanding avian transportation feys. They were occasionally sold and even bought at high prices.

Due to their size, when they were at Bronze, they could grow to two meters with a four-meter-long wingspan. They could grow to four meters with a six-meter-long wingspan when they reached Silver, just like Wen Yu's Sunlight Egret.

Few Silver avian feys could grow that big. If they reached Gold, Sunlight Egrets could carry dozens of people on their backs. Also, they had an elegant posture and looked graceful when they flapped their wings, so they were considered luxurious avian transportation feys.

Lin Yuan did not expect that Wen Yu would make a contract with such a fey. Ordinary Creation Masters would not usually contract with a Sunlight Egret, even if they nurtured one, as they could command their nurtured avian transportation feys without a contract.

After all, the Sunlight Egrets' greatest advantage was their high visuals, fast speed, and specialization in transportation. Nonetheless, they almost had no combat ability, so it would be a waste if they became a contracted fey.

When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan observing her Sunlight Egret, she said, "Young Lord, this Sunlight Egret was my first fey when I became a spirit attendant. I don't like fighting. I only want to become a good Creation Master, so most of my contracted feys are not good in combat."

Lin Yuan nodded. Everyone had their own right to decide the path they wanted to take, just like Wen Yu, who did not choose to take the path of a combat-class spirit qi professional.

Instead, she chose to devote all her energy to becoming a Creation Master, so she had faster growth compared to other Creation Masters, who had divided attention.

Wen Yu did not have a competitive nature. If she had a stronger personality, the other spirit attendants in the Radiant Moon Palace would not have bullied her.

When Lin Yuan saw that the Sunlight Egret was already Flawless at Silver, he could see that Wen Yu's Creation Master talent was superb.

"Let's go then. I've long heard that Sunlight Egrets are very comfortable avian feys. I've never ridden on one before." Lin Yuan revealed a cheerful smile. He was willing to ride on anything besides the Divine Travel Black Swallow. He did not want to experience the discomfort on his butt again.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan's smile, an excited emotion immediately flashed in Wen Yu's eyes. She felt indescribably happy that she could help him.

When Wen Yu had chosen this Sunlight Egret as her first contracted fey, many spirit attendants had laughed at her. They had chosen some combat feys to nurture.

Although Wen Yu's compatibility with feys was not as good as those of combat-class spirit qi professionals, her compatibility with avian feys was also considered good. Many of those feys were even good at combat.

However, besides her Sunlight Egret, her two other contracted feys were only helpful to Creation Masters.

Nevertheless, Wen Yu felt that she had made an excellent decision to contract and carefully nurture the Sunlight Egret.

Lin Yuan silently thought, It's so comfortable sitting on the Sunlight Egret's back.

He wondered how much more comfortable the Sunlight Egret was to the Divine Travel Black Swallow.

Lin Yuan took out his cell phone on the Sunlight Egret's back and went to the forum he would always visit back when he could not feel the world's spirit qi. He had not been on this forum for nearly three months.

As a result, he found that he had a lot of unread messages on it, most of which came from the foolish online friend who claimed that she had been bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider.

Lin Yuan looked through the records and realized that this online friend was trying to 'battle' with him!

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Weren't you bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider? How come you're still so spirited? Don't you get tired of greeting me steadily three times a day?"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "I don't. You previously talked bad about me. You have to apologize. Otherwise, you will be bitten by Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider!"

Lin Yuan secretly raised his brows. Wasn't it just a joke?

I haven't logged on to the forum for three months, yet you actually reply to me so quickly. How many grudges do you have?

It's impossible for me to apologize. Before I can be bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider, you still have to find one first!

Being bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider can probably be considered as luck.

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "I'll apologize to you if you answer my question."

I Hate Spiders the Most: "Shoot!"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Why do frogs fly?"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "?"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Because they ate biscuits that can fly!"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "?"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Why do snakes fly?"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "?"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Because they ate frogs that can fly!"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "?"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Why do hawks fly?"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "Because they ate snakes that can fly!"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "No!"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "?"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Because hawks can fly!"

The braised egg head on the other side of the phone was screaming in anger! She was so angry that she took off her bumblebee hat and threw it on the ground.

Suddenly, she had a bright idea. You can ask questions, but so do I!

I Hate Spiders the Most: "If a gorgeous woman and an ugly woman were kidnapped, which one would you save? The gorgeous woman will marry you, but that ugly woman will give you 100,000 Federation dollars. You can only choose one!"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "I don't want to tell you the answer!"

I Hate Spiders the Most: "? Say it quickly!"

I'm Not Lin Yuan: "Money doesn't matter. Most importantly, I like ugly ones."

I Hate Spiders the Most: "?"

Lin Yuan was mischievous for a while and did not bother with that foolish online friend, who had been bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider. He just exited the forum.

Chapter 167: Parents' Love For Their Children

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan corrected how Wen Yu addressed him along the way. If she still called him 'Young Lord' outside, it would simply be too strange. If any passersby heard it, none of them would take it seriously. Instead, they would only think that she was delusional. After looking down upon her, they would secretly call her a lunatic.

Soon, the Sunlight Egret flew to the location agreed with Liu Jie. Lin Yuan and Wen Yu got down, and Wen Yu used her spiritual energy to store her fey.

At a glance, Lin Yuan could see Liu Jie standing not far away. The middle-aged man standing beside Liu Jie had a flat face with flat-top hair. When Lin Yuan looked over, he nearly called him 'Brother Flat-top1'!

Lin Yuan could not help but recall something from his previous life.

Whether or not the desert is chaotic, only the honey badger's words count!

When Liu Jie saw Lin Yuan, he immediately greeted him and said with a smile on his face, "Young Master Lin Yuan, long time no see."

Lin Yuan felt that Liu Jie was now a lot more spirited than two months ago. Liu Jie previously had a sense of decadence, which was now gone, making him look much younger.

Liu Jie saw Wen Yu beside Lin Yuan and nodded in greeting.

Wen Yu hurriedly returned the greeting and saw a Class 2 Creation Master retainer crest on Liu Jie's chest. She could tell that the man before her was Lin Yuan's retainer knight. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/.c𝒐m

She may be Lin Yuan's nominal assistant, but she was not as close to Lin Yuan as him.

Wen Yu had noticed that Lin Yuan did not wear his Creation Master crest and was aware that he was a person who kept a very low profile.

Lin Yuan smiled and reached out his hand toward Liu Jie, causing excitement, joy, and a peace of mind to flash in the latter's eyes. Liu Jie waved his hand and clasped it tightly with Lin Yuan's hand. He immediately knew what Lin Yuan meant when he reached out his hands.

Back when Lin Yuan had said he could heal the Insect Queen, he had shaken hands with him. Now that he extended his hands out again, it meant that his Insect Queen had been healed.

Liu Jie hurriedly collected his ecstatic emotions and introduced the flat-top man beside him to Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan, this is the owner of this piece of land."

The flat-top man looked at Lin Yuan and said straightforwardly, "Let's go in first. See whether you're satisfied with this piece of land. If you decide, we can talk about the price." He sounded very sincere, clearly keen to sell this piece of land.

Based on Liu Jie's information alone, Lin Yuan was very fond of the land.

Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Wen Yu followed the flat-top man into the dilapidated gate. The flat-top man then hurriedly said, "This place used to be a vacation resort. After over 100 years, most of the facilities inside are old, and many things have been moved away."

The flat-top man sounded somewhat awkward, as he should have arranged in advance to demolish them, which he would have to spend a lot of money to do so.

It was actually easy to demolish all these facilities, but not their foundations. This would be an extensive project.

At this point, Wen Yu said, "Regardless of whether you're going to stay here, everything inside needs to be demolished and rebuilt." As she said that, she looked at the flat-top man, causing him to smile awkwardly.

Lin Yuan looked at the scenery before him. Although the old facilities were an eyesore, he did not intend to leave them if he bought this piece of land. Since everything had to be rebuilt, he did not really care about these old facilities. The key was the environment.

The area of this land was very large, with a small artificial lake next to it. He could even build a manor on this piece of land.

Upon seeing that Lin Yuan did not speak but continued to look at the place, the flat-top man could not stay still, so he said, "This piece of land is qualified to build a guild club. Its area is more than twice as large as those A-level guild clubs. Someone has considered buying this piece of land to build a guild club."

But at this point, the flat-top man could no longer continue.

After the person, who had considered buying this place to build a guild club, had taken a look at the land again and thought about it, he had given up because the land was simply too big. He could not afford to develop the guild club.

However, the flat-top man did not want to divide the land and sell it because it could now only be described as a large area with magnificent scenery. If he divided the land, he could never sell it at this price.

Actually, the flat-top man also knew that whoever bought this piece of land was akin to buying a piece of empty land with nothing. Its price alone was not low, and one would need to spend a considerable sum of money on developing it.

Liu Jie followed by Lin Yuan's side and said, "Lin Yuan, this piece of land has the largest area, as well as a wonderful environment. If you want to build on this land, however, it won't be a small sum of money."

Lin Yuan nodded. He indeed would have to spend a lot of money to rebuild this place. However, he was not short of money now, so there were no problems building on this piece of land. Also, he wanted to build a guild club but had not decided yet.

If he bought this land, even if he wanted to build a guild club in the future, the place was big enough no matter how he used it.

Lin Yuan's contracted feys were Genius, Chimey, Red Thorn, Blackie, and the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly. Although he put them in the Spirit Lock spatial zone most of the time, Blackie, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, and Genius were stuck at their current grades.

Therefore, they could no longer evolve inside. He might as well let them out so that they could feel the blue sky and white clouds under this world.

Lin Yuan would nurture many more feys and would keep some outstanding ones, but he could not always place them in the Diamond fey storage box.

With such a large area of land, these feys he nurtured could also have a place to stay.

Just like the Leaning Moon Mountain's Radiant Moon Palace, some rare feys were playing around everywhere. It could be called a fairyland on earth.

When the flat-top man saw that Lin Yuan still did not speak, he felt even more uncertain. He was really eager to sell this piece of land, as he currently needed money for his son so that his peers would not leave him behind because of resources.

Parents' love for their children was far-reaching!

Chapter 168: Cruel Wen Yu and the Bullied Flat-Top Man

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A combat-class spirit qi professional would need a huge amount of resources to grow. If they could not keep up with the resources, they would waste their talents and affect their growth. There was no shortage of geniuses in this world who progressed slowly because of insufficient resources.

Just like Chu Ci, even if she had impressive potential, she might not even have a chance to go to school without Lin Yuan.

The flat-top man had ordinary qualifications, but he came from an affluent family. However, he was in dire straits now. Although his past glory had declined, he still had an enormous piece of land left.

After being in the society for a long time, he naturally understood the principle of the strong being respected.

His son had been gifted ever since he was young. He was now studying in the Spirit Qi Occupation Academy and was even a student of the key class.

Not long ago, a B-level guild club had shown interest in his son, so the flat-top man planned to sell the piece of land his ancestors had left behind and nurture his son.

As long as his son became a formidable combat-class spirit qi professional, it was possible to revive his family's past glory.

Wen Yu had been watching the flat-top man's nervous and hesitant expression. In fact, she saw that Lin Yuan had been looking at this piece of land for a long time. Given her understanding of him, she knew that he really fancied it. Otherwise, given his character, he would have long gone to see another place.

Therefore, she walked to the flat-top man and said, "It's difficult to sell your piece of land!"

The flat-top man saw that Lin Yuan had not spoken and felt uncertain. Thus, his smile froze when he heard Wen Yu speak.

Wen Yu had always been carefully observing the flat-top man's expressions. Now that he had an obvious change in his expression, she wore a smile on her face.

Even though her smile was gentle, the flat-top man did not think so. He only felt that her smile contained 30% of coldness, 30% of cynicism, and 40% of indifference. They added up to one meaning—they did not want to buy the land.

The flat-top man looked at Wen Yu with some indignation and almost blurted out, "You evil woman."

Wen Yu did not know that a movie had started to play in his heart. She cleared her throat and said, "There are three reasons it's hard to sell your piece of land. First, it's too huge. Few people will buy such a large area of land for development. Second, it's actually far from the Royal Capital. It would take at least half an hour with a Silver avian fey. Third, it will cost a lot of money to demolish so many dilapidated facilities."

As Wen Yu spoke, the flat-top man's expression turned even uglier. He nearly turned into a marmot and shouted at the open space, "Ah~!"

After Lin Yuan carefully looked at it and discussed it with Liu Jie, he decided to buy this piece of land.

Although the two pieces of land Liu Jie had picked were suitable to build Lin Yuan's store, the one in the Royal Capital's bustling area was a bit smaller than this. It was not even 1/100 of this land.

This was actually reasonable, as it was unrealistic to buy such a big piece of land in the Royal Capital's bustling area.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yuan still felt this piece of land was more suitable for him. When he was about to negotiate the price, he saw the flat-top man standing there with a face full of grievance.

Wen Yu said to the flat-top man calmly, "The price you just stated is still unreasonable. If you are selling at this price, I don't know how long you'll take to sell it!"

The flat-top man gnashed his teeth in grievance and replied, "8,000,000 Radiance dollars."

Upon hearing that, Wen Yu shook her head calmly and answered, "Not only do we have to demolish these old facilities, we still have to fill in the ground and compress it. Look at how many old facilities you have here. If you sell it at 8,000,000 Radiance dollars, you have to help us demolish them."

The flat-top man was on the verge of wailing, but he ground his teeth and replied, "7,500,000 Radiance dollars. I'm not selling any lower than that!"

Lin Yuan was a bit dumbfounded, as he did not expect Wen Yu to have a bargaining talent.

Wen Yu spoke in a gentle voice, but she was about to make this flat-top man cry. Her bargaining skills were simply too powerful!

This made Lin Yuan want to complement something he had seen in his previous life. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

A flat-top, white hair, and a silver cloak!

I'm the fiercest in this desert continent!

I'm invincible around the world!

But I don't dare to go to Dongzhou1!

Lin Yuan had discussed this piece of land with Liu Jie. Buying it for 12,000,000 Radiance dollars would be just right, and any higher than that would be a loss.

The flat-top man had given Liu Jie a price of 10,000,000 Radiance dollars. According to the market, Lin Yuan had earned it.

However, Wen Yu had chatted with the flat-top man and managed to lower the price by 2,500,000 Radiance dollars— buying it at that price was a solid profit!

Although the flat-top man had lowered the price, he was not dumb. He had previously refused to lower the price, so he had been unable to sell it for two years.

Now that his son had grown up, he urgently needed Radiance dollars to nurture his fey. In order not to waste his son's talent, the flat-top man could only reluctantly sell this piece of land at a lowered price.

Otherwise, based on the Radiance Federation's news, when the dimensional rift became active in a few months, he would not be able to sell this piece of land.

Lin Yuan eventually bought the land with 7,500,000 Radiance dollars.

At that moment, Wen Yu suddenly whispered to Lin Yuan, "Actually, we can just scare him by saying we won't buy it. I still can lower the price by at least 100,000 Radiance dollars."

Lin Yuan felt that she was really impressive. Although Wen Yu's contracted feys could not fight, she was really a great genius in internal affairs!

He brought Wen Yu and Liu Jie to follow the appropriate procedures with the flat-top man.

Soon, Lin Yuan became the official owner of this piece of land.

Then, Wen Yu took on the task of rebuilding the manor under the somewhat distrustful gazes of Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan clearly had to transform this place so that people could stay there. He brought Liu Jie to the Royal Capital's Creation Master Association and was prepared to rent a breeding room, where he planned to evolve Chimey into a Fantasy Breed and hatch the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee before enhancing it.

They both arrived inside the breeding room, and Lin Yuan took out Liu Jie's Legend Insect Queen with a flip of his hand. The moment he did that, Liu Jie widened his eyes in surprise.

Chapter 169: And Faith!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Lin Yuan took the Insect Queen out of his Spirit Lock spatial zone, Liu Jie immediately sensed it. When he saw the Insect Queen, which he had not seen in a long time, he instinctively felt its attachment to him, as well as its yearning and joy.

Without the trials and tribulations over the past two years—which had made Liu Jie fall hard from the peak to the bottom and become an ordinary person—he would not have comprehended that sometimes, not forgetting one's own original intentions was the only answer.

If Liu Jie could shine in glory, he could also be in dire straits. Thus, his mind had become stronger.

If he did not have a mind as strong as iron, when he sensed the Insect Queen's intimate spiritual fluctuation, tears would have streamed down his face instantly.

Liu Jie could not forget how he had felt its constantly worsening injuries and deteriorating spiritual energy until it reached the brink of death in the past two years.

Although Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan had healed his Insect Queen when they shook hands, when he saw it fully healed and able to communicate with him through his mind, he could not help but feel all sorts of feelings well up in his heart.

However, before he had the time to relish the joy of this meeting, he realized that his Insect Queen had evolved from Epic to Legend. He started to tremble with excitement and looked at Liu Yuan, wanting to say something, but he could not utter a word.

Nobody would know better than him, its contractor, how hard it was to evolve the source-type Insect Queen. It needed extremely pure spirit qi to evolve, much purer than what was required to heal its damaged roots.

Not even the Class 5 Creation Master, Bamboo Monarch, could restore its damaged roots with such pure spirit qi. Lin Yuan was probably the only one who could do so and also raise it from Epic to Legend.

When Lin Yuan noticed that Liu Jie could say nothing due to his excitement, he could not help but smile brightly. He reached out to pat Liu Jie's shoulder and said, "After this, it's time for you to be reborn in nirvana along with your Insect Queen. The Radiance Federation people have always been looking forward to the return of Sequence #39, Heart of Insect Swarm."

What Lin Yuan mentioned was a sore spot that Liu Jie had never dared to touch before. It was because he always saw how the Radiance Federation folks regarded the Heart of Insect Swarm as a hero on Star Web and how they looked forward to his return.

This degree of passionate concern and expectations made Liu Jie, whose hopes had been squashed at that time, feel nothing but helplessness and pain.

Liu Jie had wanted to return to his former days and dominate the competition with his insect swarm, but all his yearning was just like the shattered yet dappled light in a dream.

Liu Jie had never regretted resisting the dimensional lifeforms' invasion outside Cold Frost City. While he had been commanding the Insect Queen to fight against them, he had sensed the insect swarm's frenzy and comprehended a Willpower Rune.

But after that, the Insect Queen's roots had been damaged, and it had been on the brink of death. Liu Jie felt it was ironic he had comprehended this Willpower Rune.

At present, everything seemed to be the best choice that could have been made so far, as he knew that as long as he fused the Willpower Rune with the Insect Queen, it would become a Fantasy Breed. He would also be truly reborn in nirvana and proclaim to the world, "I! Liu Jie! Heart of Insect Swarm, Sequence #39 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence! Am back!"

He was well aware that everything and all future glory would be all thanks to this young man before his eyes. This young man had ignited the light of hope and changed it into a warm sun that caused a layer of gold color to emerge in his gloomy heart.

At that moment, Liu Jie was so excited that he could not say a word. He just looked at Lin Yuan firmly and gave a deep bow. This salute was much lower than the one a retainer knight would give to a Creation Master. RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

It was not only Liu Jie's thanks but also faith.

Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie must be feeling a lot at that moment, so he patted his shoulders and said, "When I came into the Royal Capital's Creation Master Association, I booked a breeding room for you. Go evolve your Insect Queen into a Fantasy Breed first."

Lin Yuan was really happy on Liu Jie's behalf. Although he had wasted two years, now that the Insect Queen was a Fantasy Breed, Liu Jie would not just be Sequence #39 this year.

Liu Jie nodded vigorously. Despite being a man like steel, his nose tingled because of Lin Yuan's words that seemed like the warm sun in midwinter.

After a long time, Liu Jie only said in a hoarse voice, "Young Master Lin Yuan, I—"

Lin Yuan interrupted Liu Jie. "You swore by your Willpower Rune and became my retainer knight. Nevertheless, you're also my friend," he said seriously.

He had risen from humble origins and did not treat others easily as subordinates. Regardless of whether it was Liu Jie or Wen Yu, since he had lived two lives, Lin Yuan understood that human interactions would all boil down to one thing—putting himself in other people's shoes.

Liu Jie was stunned, looking at Lin Yuan before he nodded as an indescribable sense of warmth emerged in his heart.

Friends?

Liu Jie thought about it, and an ultimate glimmer of radiance appeared in his eyes.

At this moment! To Lin Yuan—

I'm a friend!

A retainer!

And faith!

Fighting alone in Cold Frost City, where the insect swarm was as vast as the city...

Fighting against the surge outside the city, where an epiphany of willpower leads to success and failure...

Everything has turned into perfection today!

After sending Liu Jie away, Lin Yuan started to think about what he needed to do during his seclusion in the breeding room. He realized that he would have to enter seclusion for nearly two months. But after this seclusion session, he could likely have the capabilities to compete with the Radiance Hundred Sequence members.

Lin Yuan raised his hand, summoned Red Thorn, and looked at its true data. He could not help but have high hopes of it.

[Fey Name]: Red Thorn (Predator Plant)

[Fey Species]: Rafflesia genus/Vine subspecies

[Fey Grade]: Bronze (3/10)

[Fey Type]: Source/Wood

[Fey Quality]: Epic

Abilities:

[Mouth of Relinquish]: Secretes vigorous digestive fluids with powerful corrosive properties, allowing a faster speed to absorb the energy in the food.

[Armor-Piercing Vines]: Vines that wrap quickly tremble rapidly and strengthen the effect of the vines' sharp thorns piercing through the armor.

Exclusive Skill:

[Spore Growth]: Spits a huge amount of spores, which can absorb the energy or flesh energy supplied by Red Thorn, out of its spore cavity to quickly grow ramets and child ramets that are controlled by the ortet.

Red Thorn's real rise was when it reached Bronze and obtained its exclusive skill, Spore Growth, as it changed Red Thorn's combat style.

If Red Thorn was a lone warrior previously, it was a commander that commanded the child ramets and ramets to fight now. However, Lin Yuan believed it would undergo its real metamorphosis when it reached Legend and became a Fantasy Breed.

At that moment, he took the source-type Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's egg out of the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box.

Chapter 170: Bootlicking Acid Corrosion Queen Bee!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan placed the egg in Red Thorn's corrosive cavity for it to hatch. He conveyed his thoughts to Red Thorn through his spiritual fluctuation, and it soon understood his intention.

It used the thornless vine to wrap the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's egg in his hand. It did not place it in its corrosive cavity but into the Mouth of Relinquish.

When it swallowed the egg in its Mouth of Relinquish, Lin Yuan immediately fed Red Thorn with the dimensional lifeforms' flesh from the Diamond fey storage box. He selected a lot of Class 3 alien insect flesh with strong acidity and fed them into its Mouth of Relinquish.

When Red Thorn evolved into Bronze, Lin Yuan chose Class 3 dimensional lifeforms, which were akin to Gold feys' flesh, for it. After that, he started channeling the spiritual power within his body and made the Mouth of Relinquish quickly absorb the flesh energy.

When the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee hatched, it would immediately build its nest.

Lin Yuan did not know how much energy it would take, but it was being prepared.

After an entire day, Red Thorn stopped eating quickly and absorbed the Class 3 alien insect flesh's energy at normal speed.

Upon seeing that, Lin Yuan stopped channeling his spiritual power. He had consumed a lot of spiritual power to help the Mouth of Relinquish digest the dimensional lifeforms' flesh.

At that moment, a thumb-sized gray bee crawled out of the Mouth of Relinquish's flesh-like petals. It still seemed very fragile, but the two stingers on its forelegs, as well as the stinger at the end of its abdomen, seemed sharp enough as they flashed with cold light.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check it and found that the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was a Normal I/Normal source-type lifeform.

However, he was surprised when he looked at it because Red Thorn had devoured a huge amount of Class 3 alien insect flesh and absorbed ten times the flesh energy it would need in one day.

In other words, the newly hatched Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had used a huge amount of the dimensional lifeforms' flesh energy to build its nest.

Lin Yuan did not know what kind of nest it would build. This was because he could not enter the Mouth of Relinquish to see the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's nest. However, he could sense through Red Thorn that the nest was not small.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee used the digestive fluids condensed into acid crystals to build this nest, which was a huge project. When it finished building its nest, Lin Yuan sensed Red Thorn, which had a bloodline connection with him, form a contract with the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.

He did not know what kind of contract it would choose to form with Red Thorn right after building its nest.

What kind of degree could this contractual relationship reach?

At that moment, Lin Yuan found that the contract between Red Thorn and the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was simply harsh.

If Red Thorn was a queen that looked down on the world disdainfully, then the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was the subordinate who served her.

At that moment, Lin Yuan could sense that the newly hatched Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was releasing spiritual signals to please Red Thorn. It was simply more shameless than exceptional bootlickers.

Lin Yuan could not criticize the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, as his primary task was to raise its grade. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

Red Thorn commanded the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to fly to Lin Yuan's palm as he calmed down. Lin Yuan brought it to the Spirit Lock spatial zone and enhanced the gray and very young Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.

It evolved quickly with the help of the rich spirit qi inside.

Normal, Elite, Elite/Epic, Bronze, Bronze/Legend, Silver...

He stopped when he raised the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to Gold.

At this point, Lin Yuan finally had a Gold fey and was considered to have the combat power of a pinnacle expert among the younger generation.

He had spent a lot of time evolving the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to Gold in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. When Lin Yuan looked at the time on his cell phone, he found that he had spent nearly 20 days evolving one fey from Normal I/Normal to Gold I/Legend. This was the result of him evolving it with all his effort in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

When he wanted to evolve the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee from Gold I, he realized that he could not do so at the moment. He knew that he could only easily do so when he became a B-rank spirit qi professional. He was very satisfied that he had been able to evolve it to Gold I/Legend, nonetheless.

Even if the Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was at Gold I, it possessed tremendous combat power. It could probably be comparable to Epic VI or VII feys.

As Lin Yuan looked at the Gold Acid Corrosion Queen Bee in his hand, he could not help but feel a rise of emotions.

It was his first Gold fey.

This sense of accomplishment of evolving life washed away the past 20 days' fatigue, as it was a soul-level of ascension no matter when he experienced it.

At present, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had grown to a length of about 15 cm. It had a long, slender body, with dark-red metallic luster hidden with strange dark-green markings, showing a hideous sense of beauty.

It had two thick stingers on its forelegs and two long, thin stingers on its abdomen. Its foreleg stingers were thick, while the abdominal stingers were sharp and slender, carrying an eerie greenish cold light.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee flew around Lin Yuan affectionately before landing back in his hand. Then, he sensed it emitting a kind of eagerness to see Red Thorn.

Lin Yuan could not help but diss in his heart, What a bootlicker!

Then, he left the Spirit Lock spatial zone with the Gold Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.

Despite being at Gold, it was still careful to please Red Thorn as before.

The landlord, Red Thorn, was clearly very cold to its own tenant, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. However, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee did not mind. It was as if when Red Thorn paid just a little attention to it, it would be a great gift to it.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee flew happily among Red Thorn's dancing vines and occasionally landed on Red Thorn's corrosive cavity's rose-like red flowers to rest.

At that moment, Lin Yuan carefully checked its true data.

Chapter 171: The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's Cruel Aesthetics

CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan was very much looking forward to the Gold I/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's True Data.

[Fey Name]: Acid Corrosion Queen Bee

[Fey Species]: Vespidae/Bactrocera

[Fey Grade]: Gold (1/10)

[Fey Type]: Source/Poison

[Fey Quality]: Legend

Abilities:

[Wing Stealth]: Flaps its wings at high frequency. The fast-flapping reflective wings allow the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to be stealthy.

[Bone-Penetrating Stingers]: The super hard and impactful rotating stingers rapidly cause deep injuries.

[Parasitic Pupa]: The stingers on the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's forelegs can release a fast-hatching parasitic pupa into the target's body while stinging.

[Acid-Swallowing Larvae]: With sufficient acid, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee will hatch numerous Acid-Swallowing Larvae that can be used as food for it to rapidly restore its consumed energy and venom reserves.

Exclusive Skill:

[Two-Strike Kill]: The two abdominal stingers contain two different kinds of acid-corrosion venom. If the abdominal stingers hit the same part of the target, the two types of venom will instantly disintegrate the target's part.

When Lin Yuan saw the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's abilities, he suddenly could not help but criticize, What a cruel bootlicker!

Wing Stealth could greatly increase its stealth ability.

Red Thorn and the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee were a combination. Red Thorn would release spores to spawn child ramets and ramets and spread out the sea of flowers.

In the absence of a huge amount of flesh, Red Thorn consumed its body's energy to spread the sea of flowers. Therefore, the sea of flowers was not as shocking as during Millstone Town, and there were not as many child ramets and ramets.

When battling in Star Web, Red Thorn, which was now a Bronze source-type lifeform, could even compete against Silver feys with its sea of flowers. However, Spore Growth's child ramets and ramets were not meant to score a direct hit on feys of the same grades. Instead, it was a field control ability.

The sea of flowers that Red Thorn spawned could very well limit the enemy feys' movements. At that moment, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee that used Wing Stealth would be a perfect assassin.

The Bone-Penetrating Stingers could very well penetrate through the feys' armor and cause severe damage to the target's bones.

However, Lin Yuan's pupils contracted at Parasitic Pupa.

What a cruel ability it was!

Lin Yuan had checked the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's stingers in front and found they were hollow.

He had always thought that the hollow stingers were used to inject acid into the target's body, but he did not expect them to release a soon-to-hatch parasitic pupa into the target's body.

It had the same conditions as the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's growth.

The pupa would search for the most acidic organ tissue in the target's body based on its instinct before drilling into it to hatch.

This was akin to saying that when the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee injected it into the target's body, the hatching parasitic pupa would drill into the target's stomach according to its instinct. The pupa would then hatch with the strong gastric acid's help.

What kind of torture would the parasitic pupa do to the parasitized target?

The pain of tearing apart the epidermis and flesh and drilling into the stomach was something Lin Yuan could not imagine!

Besides, the parasitic pupa that hatched in the stomach would absorb a huge amount of gastric acid and nutrients from the target's body.

Lin Yuan knew how much acid and energy the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had absorbed from Red Thorn's Mouth of Relinquish.

Even if ordinary lifeforms had a huge amount of energy in their bodies, how would they have so much acid?

The huge amount of absorbed gastric acid would make the target's stomach function all destroyed and withered.

If the hatching parasitic pupa sensed that the gastric acid was not enough, it would drill into other organs to absorb acid.

If the acid in the target's body did not reach the hatching condition, it would not hatch. Nevertheless, the target's body would probably have been destroyed beyond recognition.

But if the acid in the target's body was barely enough for the parasitic pupa to hatch, it would be akin to hatching an enemy.

The parasitic pupa would break out of the target's body at the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's order!

This Parasitic Pupa ability was cruel and terrifying.

Of course, the parasitic pupa had its own weakness.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee must penetrate the target's epidermis to be able to release the parasitic pupa into the target's body. However, the Bone-Penetrating Stingers perfectly resolved this weakness.

The Bone-Penetrating Stingers' defense-breaking function allowed the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to release the parasitic pupa under the epidermis. Furthermore, Red Thorn's Armor-Piercing Vines could break through armor too.

Lin Yuan had never understood how the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had gotten its name, but after seeing the Acid-Swallowing Larvae, he finally understood why.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was an extremely cruel source-type lifeform by nature.

A queen bee would give birth to pupae in a completed hive, but all the pupae were nothing more than rations for her to carry out her recovery.

Because of these Acid-Swallowing Larvae, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's endurance in a battle was significantly increased. However, these were not the most powerful means of killing. Rather, it was the exclusive skill that it learned at Bronze, Two-Strike Kill.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had two sharp stingers on its abdomen that contained two different kinds of bee venom. These super toxic bee venoms might not be powerful to kill on their own, but if they came into contact, an extremely strong reaction would immediately occur and disintegrate the part of the target's body that came into contact with the mixed bee venom.

The most powerful thing about Two-Strike Kill was that it did not need to penetrate the armor.

Even if its abdominal stringers injected the two toxins into the target's armor, they would produce a huge reaction that would disintegrate the parts of the target's armor.

Then, Lin Yuan tested the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's Two-Strike Kill. He looked at the corroded and disintegrated metal spiritual ingredients in his hand and gained a better understanding of its exclusive skill's power.

If the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee stung those Platinum defense-type feys that were not super strong with its abdominal stingers, the parts that came into contact would be violently corroded and even disintegrated. However, it was hard for it to hit a part of the Platinum feys twice with its abdominal stingers.

Lin Yuan was delighted with this Gold I/Legend source-type Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.

Upon seeing it fluttering among Red Thorn's vines with a relaxed look, he could not help but think of the cruelty behind the surface of the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, especially the two abdominal stingers that could use Two-Strike Kill.

As the saying went, "Nothing is more poisonous than a wasp's stinger!"

In nature, the queen bee was responsible for producing a colony in the hive, which was not the case for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. It produced offspring called the Acid-Swallowing Larvae that were relief food it saved in advance.

When the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee tried to please Red Thorn, it seemed like the most loyal bootlicker, but it was so cruel to her own offspring and enemies.

It could not be described as a contradiction, but this contradiction was compelling enough.

Lin Yuan stretched his body and stored Red Thorn and the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, which was staying in its body, back into the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box. Both needed great nutrition, and now was the best time for them to do so.

Lin Yuan did not choose to rest but summon Chimey. It looked a little dazed when it was summoned.

It used to be boisterous and clingy. However, it was frowning with an arduous expression, making Lin Yuan worry about it.

Why was Chimey despondent?

Chapter 172: The Stars in the Clouds Appear at Dawn!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan was somewhat worried as he communicated with Chimey. However, he was startled when it sent over its spiritual fluctuation.

As he watched it fly around in anticipation, he cleared his throat and said, "If you want to transform into a human form, you need to evolve into Suzerain/Myth II."

Lin Yuan was a little confused why Chimey was asking such a question. It always had a cheerful nature and would stick to him every day and hum songs.

When had Chimey, which was carefree all day long, become so obsessed with being able to transform into human form?

If Genius was around, it would certainly hide under the chair and cover its eyes with its small paws, not daring to look at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had not used Genius' Tool Transformation to turn it into glasses or a mask for the past few days. Therefore, the idle Genius had become Chimey's live-streaming manager again in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Genius's return had saved the busy Chimey. During the live-streaming, Genius had helped Chimey resolve all kinds of problems.

Just as Chimey had gone to compete with other live-streamers, Genius, a Thousand Questions Beast, had helped it resolve problems perfectly.

Without Genius's quick eyes and paws, Chimey would have revealed its true form when the GIF disappeared during the competition.

However, a lot of things had happened to Chimey's live-streaming room. First, the second-highest contributing fan had overtaken the top one, causing a tremendous amount of interest in its live-streaming room. Then, someone wrote about a fan meeting in the comment box. Chimey started to have some thoughts about it after learning what it was.

Upon thinking that it was just a bird, it could not help but sigh.

In Chimey's eyes, Lin Yuan had always been almighty, so it had asked him how it could transform into human form. Indeed, Lin Yuan's words answered its question.

After hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Chimey immediately became happy. Its mind was filled with the idea of evolving into Suzerain/Myth II, transforming into human form, and then holding the fan meeting grandly. It felt happy just thinking about it.

As it thought about it, it could not help but become a little nervous and secretly glance at Lin Yuan while feeling diffident.

After all, Lin Yuan did not know that it was singing. Chimey wondered, What if Yuan finds out and is unhappy with my live-streaming on Star Web?

However, in its opinion, Lin Yuan was looking at it worriedly. It then happily jumped on his ears and caressed his hair at the side of his ear with its head. Chimey thought, Yuan is so good to me. He won't be so mean to me! If he doesn't like me singing, then I won't sing anymore on Star Web. I'll just sing to him alone. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

Lin Yuan noticed that Chimey had a load on its mind earlier, but now, it was so happy. He couldn't help but rub Chimey's head with his finger.

He was still kept in the dark and thought that Chimey was so sentimental just now because it had undergone puberty.

Chimey flew down from his ear and landed on his fingertip before jumping on it. After playing with Chimey for a while and watching it return to its usual lively self, Lin Yuan was relieved. He looked at it and said sternly, "Chimey, if you want to transform into human form, evolving into a Fantasy Breed will be the most important step for your future development."

If there were any contracted feys' evolutions he was most worried about, they would undoubtedly be Chimey and Genius. Chimey was at first a Sound Bird that had failed to evolve into a Songstress Bird. However, it had evolved into a Stream Cloud Azure Bird and taken a path that no Sound Birds had ever taken before. Therefore, Chimey could be called a pioneer of the Sound Bird family in terms of evolution.

Lin Yuan was the person who had created this great miracle of life. He had brought Chimey, which had been abandoned when it had just been born, on a path that it needed to overcome the obstacles by itself. This path might be obstructed and difficult, but it was definitely the most dazzling.

Chimey sensed Lin Yuan's seriousness and also became very serious. When it heard him say that it was its first step to transform into human form, its eyes lit up, and its little body was filled with an indomitable determination.

Lin Yuan summoned the Willpower Rune, which he had comprehended from the delicate rising sun, from his spiritual energy. This Willpower Rune fit Chimey's Clear Sky perfectly, and he also wanted it to evolve on this path. This was because only when it chose a general direction of evolution could the subsequent development be broader and smoother.

The moment Lin Yuan summoned the Willpower Rune, the cloud patterns on Chimey lit up. It flapped its wings and flew toward this Twilight Willpower Rune before fusing with it. It was as if Chimey had plunged into the first glimmer of dawn. In this bright twilight, it constantly chirped, its voice full of pain.

When Lin Yuan had sensed the Sharp Iron Horn Bull undergoing metamorphosis into the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull, he learned that the evolution of life was a path taken barefoot on thorns and sharpening itself step by step toward the path of metamorphosis.

Upon hearing Chimey's painful chirping, Lin Yuan's heart ached, but he could do nothing, as a new life was rising behind this.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a sound very similar to Chimey's previous cry, yet more pleasant and clearer.

This clear cry seemed to include the breeze, raindrops, wind-blown ears of wheat, the shadow of the first glimmer of dawn, the dew washing away the dust, and the cold green plums.

This sound seemed to be the most essential in the depths of nature, inscribed with all the subtlety and clarity.

After Chimey's metamorphosis, the twilight did not vanish but became more intense.

Lin Yuan saw a small emerald-blue bird fly out of this joyful light, with a few plumes grown on its forehead that made it look unusually soft and beautiful. Its emerald-blue feathers seemed like the purest blue sky above the dome.

Mist rose from the cloud patterns on this bird when it fluttered, and the cloud patterns on its feather seemed to have produced stars. As Chimey was flapping its wings, it was as if stars were flashing in the clouds.

When it saw Lin Yuan, it did not go over but let out a clear sound in the breeding room, joyfully showing him its ability. Then, it was as if a splendor spread in the breeding room.

Lin Yuan knew that Chimey was using its exclusive skill, Clear Sky. The sunlight spilled straight from outside through the window to it. In that instant, Chimey, which was less than the size of a fist, was suddenly enveloped in this splendor.

A layer of glazed light flame ignited on its wingspan, and its original emerald-blue feathers became this faint golden color that was not the color of gold. Rather, it was the dazzling radiance and luster of the sun's splendor.

At that moment, Chimey's wingspan was nearly one meter long. The cloud patterns on its body swept up the clouds, and the stars among the cloud patterns suddenly brightened up. When the stars collided, it was as if they had fused into the rising sun from the east.

Lin Yuan felt the majestic energy from Chimey's body.

It chirped and showed its transformation to him, but before it could last half a minute, the splendor on its body vanished, and it turned back into its being a small emerald-blue bird.

As Lin Yuan looked at Chimey that had fallen asleep in his arms, he revealed a helpless and doting smile. Without his quick catch, it would have fallen to the ground with its head first.

He could not help but sigh when he saw the plumes pointed slightly up on its forehead and the new stars on the cloud patterns. Based on aesthetics, few small avian feys could be compared to Chimey.

Chimey's visuals now were really unparalleled. If it went to participate in the selection of the top ten most beautiful feys, it could rank high on the list.

At that moment, Lin Yuan used Morbius's True Data to check the Fantasy Breed Chimey.

Chapter 173: The Twilight Starbird

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chimey was no longer a Stream Cloud Azure Bird. When it evolved into a Fantasy Breed, it also metamorphosed into a Twilight Starbird.

As Lin Yuan looked at the sleeping Chimey, an indescribable sense of pride arose in his heart.

So what about a phoenix's nirvana?

It was just a phoenix evolving into a phoenix.

However, Chimey had evolved from an abandoned Sound Bird into a Fantasy Breed Twilight Starbird.

After a long sleep, it woke up leisurely. It was still somewhat weak, so it took a good half day to recover. Then, it flew intimately to Lin Yuan's ears, clearly treating it as its exclusive territory.

After Lin Yuan played with Chimey for a while, he entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone with it and started enhancing it inside.

Just like the Jasmine Lily, Lin Yuan spent nearly one month evolving Chimey into Bronze X/Fantasy I. After a month, he evolved it into Silver I/Fantasy I.

He sensed its state and could not help but sigh. This Fantasy Breed fey experienced astounding changes at every grade. This was a torrent-like metamorphosis in the life history of species.

After Chimey evolved into a Twilight Starbird, its type had changed from Sound/Qi to Sound/Light. Based on normal evolutions, Chimey's qi-type would not easily vanish due to its metamorphosis into a Fantasy Breed.

When it had been at Elite, it was because it had comprehended the qi-type attribute that it became a Stream Cloud Azure Bird, allowing it to go beyond the sound-type and take a broader path.

However, it had fused with the Twilight Willpower Rune, and its qi-type was replaced. Theoretically, its sound-type should have been replaced.

Lin Yuan did not know that Chimey, which was jumping on him, was filled with such a strong obsession with its sound-type.

When Chimey had first met Lin Yuan, it had both been introverted and self-conscious. As a Sound Bird that had failed to evolve into a Songstress Bird, it could not even sing a complete song at that time.

Lin Yuan's company had cleared the dust from Chimey's life and cast a light warmer than the Twilight Willpower Rune.

It was him who had taught it the first song over and over again with great pains and let it no longer think it was a weak Sound Bird that could be abandoned.

It was also him who had let Chimey know what it felt like to be pampered, as well as let it evolve step by step to the present and become a Twilight Starbird.

The simple song that Lin Yuan had taught at that time had witnessed Chimey and Lin Yuan's meeting. Therefore, this song was the obsession in its heart. It was unwilling to erase it until death.

All this was its obsession and a miracle in the history of the Sound Birds' evolution, for which there was no precedence.

Miracles happened in life every day because of the various miracles that the long river of life evolved on such a magnificent scale.

Lin Yuan carefully observed Chimey's True Data.

[Fey Name]: Twilight Starbird

[Fey Species]: Plume Sparrow/Starlight Bird

[Fey Grade]: Silver (1/10)

[Fey Type]: Sound/Light

[Fey Quality]: Fantasy I

Abilities:

[Sound Thrust]: Fire three sharp spikes that are formed by sound at a designated target.

[Scattered Light]: Emits a beam of scattered light from its body with burning and control effects.

[Sunlight Rays]: Emits various rays from the sun that will cause negative weakening to the target.

Exclusive Skill:

[Clear Sky]: After a clear chirp, the clouds would disperse and clear up the sky.

[Radiant Body]: Rapidly absorb the power of the sun and form a Radiant Body from the huge amount of solar energy gathered in the body.

Due to the change in Chimey's type, Turbulence, which it had comprehended at Elite, had come Scattered Light. While it flapped its wings, it would emit a scattered beam of light with burn and control effects.

Compared to Turbulence, Scattered Light clearly had more killing power, but its control ability was much weaker.

Lin Yuan criticized helplessly at its Sunlight Rays that it had comprehended at Silver. He could not help but want to drill into its little brain to see what it was really thinking about. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

How had it comprehended all kinds of harmful rays in the twilight of such a beautiful blazing sun to weaken and control the target?

There were all kinds of harmful rays in the sunlight rays with radiation-like destructive significance to life.

When Chimey used these rays on the target, it could cause negative effects such as dizziness, nausea and allow it to break through the armor. It was counted as an all-round weakening effect.

Only those who had fought on the Star Web would know how strong the Sunlight Rays' weakening effect was.

Lin Yuan had sensed the terrifying energy in the Radiant Body when Chimey used it earlier.

Chimey had used the sunlight power on itself, and the glazed flames that ignited on its body made its body size increase greatly. The destructive power carried in that instant could simply be called an ace in the hole.

However, it had not been in its Radiant Body for long, just 30 seconds or so. After that, its spiritual power had been overspent while its stamina had been depleted, causing it to fall into a deep slumber.

Although Chimey only had a brief burst with its Radiant Body, it was also one of Lin Yuan's trump cards.

When it evolved into a Silver Fantasy Breed earlier, he let it use the Radiant Body and realized that Radiant Body lasted from half a minute to nearly a minute.

This time, Lin Yuan carefully sensed the energy contained in its Radiant Body.

If this energy instantly exploded, the impact caused would be nearly twice as strong as the Gold Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's full force.

Moreover, Chimey did not rely on physical attacks with its Radiant Body, but the burning ability of that glazed light flame.

Among the two exclusive skills that it had comprehended, Clear Sky could be used perfectly with Radiant Body, as it could ensure that it absorbed light from the sun or stars no matter what the situation was.

At the same time, Sunlight Rays could help Red Thorn and the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee weaken the target. This way, Lin Yuan's current feys could complement each other into a set of the combat system.

If he went to climb the Star Tower now, he could use his Jasmine Lily to heal, the Spirit-Gather Goldfish to replenish his spiritual power, and the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly to control. At the same time, Genius' Tool Transformation mask and glasses could allow him to see through the target's weaknesses.

Combined with Red Thorn's, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's, and Chimey's major attacks, it should no longer be considered an arduous task for him to reach the 100th floor and ascend to the Celestial Stairway.

After entering seclusion for nearly two months, Lin Yuan was a little tired. He picked up Genius, squatting at the side, and Chimey, chirping non-stop.

He leaned on the sofa in the lounge and closed his eyes to have a wonderful sleep. It was just like how Lin Yuan, Chimey, and Genius, would snuggle together to sleep in the Xia Region's fey store five months ago. His facial expression was so quiet and peaceful.

Chimey and Genius leaned on his young man's body as though they were leaning on the entire world. He did not have wide shoulders, but they were like a mountain, completely supporting their dependence.

Time had changed, and so did people, but not his original intentions.

Back then, there was the sick young man, the malnourished and abandoned Hundred Questions Beast, and the Sound Bird that had failed to evolve into a Songstress Bird and had been given away like trash.

They had all been given a new lease of life. This sick young man had long since become a heavenly prodigy of the young generation. The other two despised beasts also accompanied the young man to grow up and became the pioneers of the evolution of the Sound Bird and the Hundred Questions Beast, evolving into a path without precedence.

Since he almost had no rest for the past two months, Lin Yuan was simply exhausted, so he was now sleeping soundly and snoring softly. Chimey hid in Lin Yuan's neck, looking particularly at ease. However, its slight movements obviously woke Genius up.

Genius meowed and looked at Lin Yuan before it brought over a towel blanket with its mouth from the sofa beside. It carefully helped cover Lin Yuan with it and snuggled into it, leaning in his arms and sleeping soundly.

When Lin Yuan woke up, he was a little surprised to see the time. He had actually slept for a full two days and immediately sensed his stomach protesting with a grumble.

He took out the dried food and fruits that he had stored in the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box and ate them. When he got up from the sofa, he was cautious, as he was afraid of waking up the sleeping Genius and Chimey.

However, the sweetness of the fruits woke them up from their dreamland. Upon seeing them awake, Lin Yuan fed Genius a Platinum Cane Luffa and Chimey a Platinum Celery Vine. They gathered around him, waiting for him to feed them. It was a warm scene.

He cut the Cane Luffa into small pieces and tore up the Celery Vine before feeding them to Genius and Chimey. Then, he stored them in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and walked out of the breeding room with full spirit.

The sunlight outside was just right. Despite being in the late autumn, the bright and beautiful sunlight shining into the breeding room through the windows was still warm.

Lin Yuan had just walked out of the breeding room when he found someone standing at the door. It was Liu Jie.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, Liu Jie immediately revealed a smile. Lin Yuan did not expect Liu Jie to wait for him outside the breeding room, so he asked, "How's it after the Insect Queen evolved into a Fantasy Breed?"

A dazzling brilliance flashed in Liu Jie's eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan and replied, "Very powerful!"

Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie was not someone who talked big. If he said that it was very powerful, then it must be so.

It seemed that the exclusive skill that the Insect Queen had comprehended after becoming a Fantasy Breed greatly improved Liu Jie's combat power.

There was no complacency on Liu Jie's face, but solemnity. He lowered his head and looked at the small shield inscribed above the Class 2 Creation Master crest on his chest.

This shield would be his most steadfast destiny, just like what was in his mind at the moment.

Liu Jie thought that he was merely protecting the two stars on the shield better by evolving the Insect Queen into a Fantasy Breed.

Being powerful was for the sake of protection. In the past, he had been protecting the world, but now, he was protecting the young man before his eyes.

When Lin Yuan and Liu Jie walked out of the Royal Capital's Creation Master Association, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered Wen Yu. Before he had entered seclusion in the Creation Master Association, Wen Yu had taken a huge responsibility for the development of the manor land.

Lin Yuan had handed Cheng Wu's beetle-shaped Diamond fey storage box containing Radiance dollars to her. No matter what, she had to spend money to develop the land. For almost two months, Lin Yuan was a little worried about her.

Although Wen Yu had taken the huge responsibility, letting a teenage girl handle the entire manor's construction was a little too much.

Lin Yuan thought that since Liu Jie had come out of the breeding room in advance, he should know her current situation, so he looked at Liu Jie and asked, "How's Wen Yu doing?"

Liu Jie had actually taken little time to evolve the Insect Queen into a Fantasy Breed. Before he had entered the breeding room, he knew that Lin Yuan would enter seclusion for over two months.

After he came out, he had gone to the land that Lin Yuan had bought with 7,500,000 Radiance dollars, ready to help Wen Yu. However, she had chased him back before he could help her for less than a day. This was because, under her divine operation, Liu Jie had found he was more of a hindrance than a help.

Now that Lin Yuan asked about it, he could only scratch his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. It was really difficult for him to tell him everything.

Upon seeing Liu Jie's expression, Lin Yuan knew that something had happened. But when they arrived at the land, Lin Yuan had the same expression as Liu Jie, looking dumbfounded.

If anyone saw their expressions, they would probably send them to the psychiatric department for resuscitation.

Lin Yuan felt that the scene before him was astounding!

Before he had entered into seclusion, this had been an empty land full of old facilities. Now, it was an elegant manor.

The environment here was naturally incomparable to that of the Radiant Moon Palace, but it was certainly ranked among the Royal Capital's best.

There were two beautiful rows of ponds by the man-made lake's diversion on both sides of the path. The large manor had three floors only but occupied an area of nearly 1,000 square meters. Its design was simple and carved with all sorts of auspicious feys, looking unique.

There were also wind chimes carved from jade that produced a faint bell sound when the autumn wind blew past and contained a poetic beauty in the corners of the manor's eaves and beams.

The open space in front of the manor had no arrangements, but a 3,000-meter bamboo forest was planted at the back of the building with a shaded path in the forest and a green-and-white pavilion at the end of the forest.

The pavilion's four corners were white cranes spreading their wings to fly, and the pavilion was engraved with a faint lotus pattern that looked rather elegant.

A calm pool was next to the pavilion, and a fresh stream that connected to the mountain valley was behind the pavilion. It had the feeling of 'the scenery in all directions gathered in one pavilion'.

What a divine view!

Lin Yuan could not help but wonder whether he had been in seclusion for two months or two years. Although he did not know how Wen Yu had done it, he could not help but sigh when he saw the beautiful scenery in the distance.

"The bamboo path leads to a secluded spot, and the clear stream flows into a deep valley."

At that moment, Liu Jie could not help but grin upon hearing Lin Yuan's words. He felt that Lin Yuan simply had high expectations!

Chapter 175: The Meaning of Extravagant?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The scenery in front had layers of wonders—it was like a bamboo forest in the deep valley that was accompanied with refreshing autumn wind. It was a manor that could be described with a saying, "The roar of the bear and dragon caused the fountain water to resonate, even the deep forest and mountains were also shaking1."

Liu Jie was shocked by the beauty, but he still couldn't help twitching his mouth!

Liu Jie involuntarily recalled the time he had visited and was thinking how Wen Yu had spent a fortune to invite three spirit qi professionals from the lifestyle-class Construction Association.

All of them possessed the Diamond Earth-Turning Giant Elephants. Using their exclusive skill, Earth-Turning Wrath, the old site of this manor, including the foundations, was turned into dust.

They then used the Earth-Turning Giant Elephants' ability, Mother Earth Pressure, to turn the dust into compressed soil. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

This huge project that would normally need a few months was completed in less than half a day under Wen Yu's command. Even as Radiance Hundred Sequence #39, this was the first time Liu Jie had seen anyone hiring Diamond Earth-Turning Giant Elephants to tear down an old site.

It was something that no one would normally even dare to think about. These three Diamond/Elite Earth-Turning Giant Elephants might not have much potential to evolve again, but they were still the Royal Capital's Construction Association's distinguishing mark.

However, all these weren't important. The most crucial point was how Wen Yu had generously used those Radiance dollars. The price for three Diamond Earth-Turning Giant Elephants to stomp the ground was just slightly lower than what was required to purchase a piece of land like this.

In the past, Liu Jie had always felt that women were very cute lifeforms, but after witnessing We Yu's performance, he felt that this world's most horrifying thing wasn't the dimensional rifts. Instead, it was a woman who would use money without hesitation.

At that moment, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie saw Wen Yu holding a long list and walking out of the construction site.

When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan, she ran happily and said, "Young Master, you have exited seclusion! Take a look at the development and see if it is good enough."

Liu Jie involuntarily gulped down two mouthfuls of saliva.

Lin Yuan looked at Wen Yu's expression, who was waiting to be praised, so he praised her first. "The development is going really well. But how did you do it?"

Lin Yuan was truly curious as to how this manor could reach this state in just two months.

When Wen Yu heard Lin Yuan's question, her eyes immediately glistened as she started to speak nonstop. "Three Diamond Earth-Turning Giant Elephants to tear down the old site. But I felt that the old site's soil wasn't fertile enough, so I bought 500,000 catties of high-grade energy ores and two Diamond Soil-Flowing Titan Bears to bury the 500,000 catties of high-grade energy ores into the soil."

Lin Yuan's brows jolted as he gulped down his saliva and asked carefully, "Where did you find the three Diamond Earth-Turning Giant Elephants and two Soil-Flowing Titan Bears?"

Wen Yu revealed a sweet smile and said, "Construction Association!"

She then added, "After tearing down the old site and flattening the ground, I looked for a Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen team from the Spirit Craftsman Association to design and construct the courtyard. I asked them to work through the nights, and they finally completed this project yesterday afternoon."

Among the lifestyle-class associations, the Spirit Craftsman Association was a huge association. The Construction Association's job would be to balance the land and to design the estate's blueprint. The Spirit Craftsman Association would be constructing according to the blueprint.

A Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, Scholar. Fey Observer, and Spiritual Ingredient Analyst had equivalent statuses. A Class 4 Spirit Craftsman might not be comparable with a Class 4 Creation Master, but Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen held a very important status in the Radiance Federation.

If a team of Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen worked throughout two months without rest, then it was really possible to create this huge manor within this short period.

At that moment, Wen Yu returned the beetle-shaped fey storage box that Lin Yuan had handed to her previously. Wen Yu handed it over with two hands and said, "Yesterday afternoon, I looked for a cleaning team to clean up the new manor the Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen team built."

When Lin Yuan received the beetle-shaped fey storage box, he used his spiritual energy to scan inside and realized that not even one Radiance dollar had been used. He couldn't help but look at Wen Yu with a puzzled expression.

Before this, Lin Yuan had still been thinking how much Radiance dollars had been spent since Earth-Turning Giant Elephants had been used to tear down the old site, Soil-Flowing Titan Bears had been used to bury 500,000 catties of high-grade energy ores, and a Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen team had been asked to expedite their work for two months.

Thus, it was surprising that not a single Radiance dollar had been used for such a huge project.

When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan's puzzled look, she turned to look at Liu Jie first and glanced at Liu Jie's retainer crest before she spoke softly. "Previously, Lord Mystic came looking for the Young Master. After finding out that Young Master was in seclusion at the Creation Master Association and seeing that I was preparing to tear down the old site, he took over the project. After making the arrangements, he then handed it back to me for supervision."

After speaking, Wen Yu stuck out her tongue. She had glanced at Liu Jue's retainer crest to see whether it was embedded with the symbol of a moon. It was not, which meant that Lin Yuan had not replaced Liu Jie's retainer crest with the new one after becoming the Moon Empress' disciple.

Wen Yu didn't know whether Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan was the Radiant Moon Palace's Young Lord. Thus, she had addressed Mystic Moon as Lord Mystic, instead of Lord Mystic Moon. After all, there was only one person with the title of Mystic Moon in the Radiance Federation.

Although Wen Yu had been tasked to construct the manor, even if Lin Yuan's beetle-shaped fey storage box had enough Radiance dollars, she wouldn't dare to squander them like that.

As Lin Yuan's assistant, Wen Yu knew of her role. Naturally, she wouldn't do anything

that would put Lin Yuan at a disadvantage. However, since Mystic Moon had taken over the project, Wen Yu didn't have to hold back on the spending.

After all, it wasn't Lin Yuan who had to pay. Lord Mystic Moon was the one that had to foot the bill.

As one of Radiant Moon Palace's spirit attendants, Wen Yu had boundless respect toward Mystic Moon, one of the Radiant Moon Palace's two Moon Envoys. However, now that she was Lin Yuan's assistant, she naturally had to be more considerate toward Lin Yuan.

Hence, Wen Yu didn't help Mystic Moon to save any money when purchasing the manor's construction materials. All of the materials were the best that the Spirit Craftsman Association could provide.

As a spirit attendant of the Radiant Moon Palace, Wen Yu's experience was naturally beyond regular people. The use of Diamond Earth-Turning Giant Elephants might be shocking for Liu Jie, but it was actually nothing much for Wen Yu.

The Radiant Moon Palace had plenty of rare feys, such as the two unique Diamond/Legend Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassias. Wen Yu had been able to see them on a daily basis, so she was already very accustomed to such a sight.

Chapter 176: The Consecutively Shocked Liu Jie

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If Wen Yu wished to save money for Lin Yuan, she wouldn't even need to use Lin Yuan's status as the Radiant Moon Palace's Young Lord.

Once Wen Yu revealed her status as the Radiant Moon Palace's spirit attendant, the experts in the Royal Capital would probably queue up to help with the manor's construction. But as a spirit attendant of the Radiant Moon Palace, Wen Yu had a pride that originated from her soul and she would use that sense of pride to deal with others, apart from Lin Yuan.

The pride didn't mean she was overbearing, but it was a kind of ego. This ego didn't allow Wen Yu to accept any help from people trying to seek favors with the Radiant Moon Palace.

Lin Yuan knew that the Lord Mystic, which Wen Yu had mentioned, could only be Mystic Moon. However, he didn't expect that Mystic Moon would actually help with the manor's construction. He immediately took out his phone and made a call to Mystic Moon.

...

In the lotus pond, all sorts of lotus flowers were absorbing and exuding mist. The lotus flowers emitted a sunset-colored light, which was slowly rising up in the inner palace, projecting a pool of jade-like water.

The Platinum Spirit-Siphon Goldfish splashed around and blended into the breeze under this sunset-colored light.

However, this beautiful scenery was disturbed by a silver-robed and eminent man, who was standing by the lotus pond and letting out a wry smile.

The Moon Empress took a glance at Mystic Moon and felt the spirit tea that she was drinking was no longer fragrant.

Previously, the Moon Empress had asked Mystic Moon to visit the Chef Supreme to collect a Spirit Savory Pig. The Spirit Savory Pig was a unique fey that the Class 5 Creation Master Chef Supreme possessed.

It was just like the Radiant Moon Palace's Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassias, but the Spirit Savory Pig didn't have the same effects as the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassias, which could cleanse the body's impurities.

The Spirit Savory Pig was merely a kind of food ingredient, but those who ate the Spirit Savory Pig's meat would know the taste of this world's best delicacy. It was also the reason why the Spirit Savory Pig's meat was known as the world's No.1 meat.

The Moon Empress had originally wanted to ask Lin Yuan to eat this Spirit Savory Pig delicacy together, but when she had asked Mystic Moon to look for Lin Yuan, she found out that Lin Yuan was in seclusion again. Fôllôw 𝒏ew stories at n𝒐/v(e)

The Moon Empress couldn't help lamenting. My disciple is a little too hardworking, right!? How can there be such a hardworking disciple in this world?! It is making me look very useless as a Master!

But just earlier, Wen Yu had visited the Radiant Moon Palace to settle the bill with Mystic Moon. The Moon Empress finally found out that Mystic Moon had been helping Lin Yuan build his manor. This made the Moon Empress extremely infuriated.

How can This Empress' disciple be lacking money! Even if Cheng Wu is useless, he still has plenty of wealth and should have enough to build three manors! As a master, I didn't even offer any help and was afraid that my disciple might not agree. But you actually went to the manor to take the merit!?

Mystic Moon naturally understood the Moon Empress' thoughts. He might have an awkward and terrified expression, but he was still very thankful to Lin Yuan and happy for the Moon Empress.

For the past decade, the Moon Empress' mood swings hadn't been as lively until she accepted Lin Yuan as her disciple. When the Moon Empress had wanted to accept a disciple, Mystic Moon, one of her Moon Envoys, naturally didn't have any opinions.

But toward Lin Yuan, Mystic Moon had merely been showing his concern due to the Moon Empress. However, after all their interactions, Mystic Moon had gradually approved of Lin Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

This was the Moon Empress' disciple.

This was the Radiant Moon Palace's Young Lord.

All of a sudden, Mystic Moon let out a bright peal of laughter. Now that the Radiant Moon Palace had an additional young lord, it wasn't just the Moon Empress, the entire Radiant Moon Palace was livelier.

The Moon Empress already felt that her spirit tea was no longer fragrant, but after hearing Mystic Moon's laughter, she suddenly felt that her spirit tea had turned bitter.

Before the Moon Empress could speak, Mystic Moon's phone rang. When he took out the phone and saw the caller, he silently thought it wasn't good. It was actually Lin Yuan who was calling him at this moment. Mystic Moon took a glance at the Moon Empress, who let out a snort and ignored him. Mystic Moon then picked up the phone.

...

When the call was connected, Lin Yuan spoke. "Uncle Mystic? I heard from Wen Yu that you helped me to construct the manor."

Lin Yuan didn't know how he should address Mystic Moon as the latter would always say it was inappropriate for Lin Yuan to call him Senior Mystic Moon. Mystic Moon and the Moon Empress were both his seniors, so Lin Yuan addressed him as Uncle Mystic now.

When Mystic Moon heard how Lin Yuan addressed him, he, who was normally clear and composed, actually choked on his own saliva and started coughing.

Even though he was rather pathetic when coughing, Mystic Moon's heart surged with a warm current. Uncle Mystic? This is the first time anyone called me like this. It is strange yet very amiable.

"Young Lord, I am the one that found a master in the Construction Association to design your manor. I wonder if you are satisfied? If you aren't, I can ask Wen Yu to look for the Spirit Craftsmen team to renovate the manor."

Lin Yuan originally wanted to say something else, but after hearing how Mystic Moon was seriously considering if Lin Yuan was satisfied with the manor, he felt that he shouldn't say anything that would make things too estranged.

Mystic Moon was a high-ranked expert and had plenty of things to do, but he had actually made the effort to construct this manor for Lin Yuan. It allowed Lin Yuan to feel that his sense of belonging to the Radiant Moon Palace wasn't just because of his master, the Moon Empress.

"Uncle Mystic, the design of the manor is great."

From the other side of the phone call came Mystic Moon's clear laughter. "It is fine if you like it. Wen Yu is rather reliable when doing the tasks and has put in quite the effort for the supervision."

Mystic Moon then praised Wen Yu. He hadn't paid any attention to Wen Yu when she was a spirit attendant, but during the construction of the manor, Mystic Moon gave his approval of Wen Yu's capability.

Lin Yuan's manor's surface area wasn't small, and when Mystic Moon had been constructing the manor, he had thought if he should recommend two more spirit attendants to Lin Yuan. However, Wen Yu's capability had made Mystic Moon dismiss the idea.

After hanging up the phone call, Mystic Moon saw the Moon Empress drinking her tea and looking at him. He couldn't help shrinking his neck.

At that moment, the Moon Empress' phone rang. She picked up the phone and immediately smiled. After hanging up the phone call, Mystic Moon received a question from the Moon Empress. "If you have a disciple, what gift should you give to your disciple?"

Mystic Moon's brows involuntarily jumped. Isn't the Moon Empress asking what gift she should give to Lin Yuan?

This was a matter that Mystic Moon wouldn't dare to give any ideas. If he was the one that gave the idea and Lin Yuan rejected the gift, the Moon Empress might just send him on a desert mission.

Mystic Moon quickly replied, "Your Highness, I don't even have a disciple, how could I know what to give?"

When the Moon Empress heard Mystic Moon's response, her smile became even brighter as she said, "I know you don't have a disciple. Even if you do, you will not have such a great disciple like This Empress."

...

Lin Yuan hung up the phone and saw Wen Yu looking at him expectantly. Lin Yuan said, "Uncle Mystic praised you and said you are very reliable in your work."

Wen Yu immediately let out a pleasantly surprised and bright smile. Wen Yu always respected Lord Mystic Moon, and she was truly surprised to receive Mystic Moon's recognition.

Lin Yuan looked at the list in Wen Yu's hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wen Yu waved the list in her hand and said, "Young Master, the manor doesn't have any furniture now. Therefore, I wish to custom-order some furniture."

Wen Yu's words reminded Lin Yuan that he had placed plenty of furniture and wooden materials in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Due to the high concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the furniture and wooden materials had already possessed a jade-like texture.

Actually, before Lin Yuan and Ling Xiao had arrived at the Royal Capital, those furniture and wooden materials had already turned slightly jade-like. During the past few months, Lin Yuan had already forgotten about those furniture and wooden materials as he had been enhancing feys. It was unknown how much more jade-like they had become.

Had it not been for Wen Yu's reminder, Lin Yuan wouldn't have recalled this.

Lin Yuan immediately waved his hand and took out some of the furniture in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

When Lin Yuan took out the wooden materials with the jade-like texture, Liu Jie, who was originally admiring this manor's scenery, nearly bit his tongue.

When Liu Jie carefully observed the jade-like furniture that Lin Yuan took out, he couldn't catch his breath and got the hiccups. Liu Jie involuntarily lamented. What kind of Master did I actually follow?!

Chapter 177: Agarwood Like a Fixed Stone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jie, who had been Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence two years ago, was considered to have a small fortune. His wealth accumulated in a year of competition and missions could add up to a few million Radiance dollars. However, he had used most of the Radiance dollars to raise his Insect Queen's grade or quality.

The resources that spirit qi professionals needed to consume to nurture their feys was a bottomless pit. The stronger the expert, the more resources they would need to consume.

Nevertheless, Liu Jie looked at the furniture that Lin Yuan took out with a wave of his hand and felt his fundamental values toppled.

The jade-like furniture had always been a luxury in the Radiance Federation.

One hundred years after the Spirit Qi Awakening, jade was divided into two kinds—jadeites formed by ores or nephrites formed by jade-like wood.

Jadeites were expensive in the Radiance Federation, as they were considered a relatively rare spiritual ingredient, but nephrites were much more expensive than jadeites.

Before the Spirit Qi Awakening, there were many jadeites in the underground ore veins. After the Spirit Qi Awakening, the jadeites absorbed the world's spirit qi and contained different functions.

Before the Spirit Qi Awakening, nephrites simply did not exist. In environments with extremely rich spirit qi, they could allow the wood surface to turn into jade, forming a thin outer layer of nephrite, which was extremely rare.

The wooden materials that formed the furniture Lin Yuan had taken out had completely turned into jade, and not just on the surface. The furniture had a uniquely mellow and transparent feeling of a nephrite.

It seemed to be able to filter the sunlight, dispersing it and turning into a gorgeous corrugated circle of light that reflected on the body as if a person was immersed in tranquility and gentleness.

Lin Yuan had taken out a lot of furniture this time. People would not bear to auction the jade-like furniture in Star Web's Treasure Pavilion.

Although they did not have any special functions, they were luxury items wildly sought after in the Radiance Federation.

If Liu Jie had lamented at Wen Yu's profligacy before, when he saw Liu Jie take out the furniture, he then understood.

Compared to this jade-like furniture, the money that had been spent on flattening the land and building the manor was only a small amount.

Lin Yuan currently did not expect that this ordinary furniture would actually turn out to be like that after being placed in the Spirit Lock spatial zone for some time. Even though Lin Yuan was not as surprised as Liu Jie, he still felt a little surprised upon touching the jade-like furniture.

However, Wen Yu was used to it, so she did not think that the furniture was remarkable. In her opinion, it was reasonable for Lin Yuan, the Radiant Moon Palace's Young Lord, to have such things.

Lin Yuan and Liu Jie moved the jade-like furniture into the manor.

When they placed them inside, the furniture immediately made the simple manor different right away. Sunlight spilled in through the window, shining on the jade-like furniture that produced light ripples as if people were in the water.

At night, they would only need a lighted lamp. The furniture would immediately brighten up the manor with the light scattered from the lamp.

As Lin Yuan looked at the manor, he wore a bright smile on his face and revealed his white teeth, with a vigorous teenage spirit. This would be his home. When Chu Ci studied in the Royal Capital, she would not have to live in the school. She could just return to her home daily.

At that moment, he suddenly saw Wen Yu holding onto the table, looking somewhat dizzy, so he hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong, Wen Yu?"

For the past few days, Lin Yuan had been completely wrapped up with evolving the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee and Chimey in the Royal Capital's Creation Master Association's breeding room. However, Wen Yu was also the same.

During these two months, she had supervised the work in the manor. Even if the team of Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen had worked overtime day and night to build the manor, they had also been divided into two groups. One batch would work during the day, while the other during the night. Each batch worked for 12 hours but had half a day to rest.

However, things were different for Wen Yu, as she had nearly not slept in order to better supervise the work. She would lean against the wall to take a nap when she was exhausted and hold on until the Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen finished building the manor.

Just after the manor's construction, she also had not had the time to rest properly. She had instructed the cleaning team to clean the manor inside and out first. At present, she just could not hold on anymore.

Even though Wen Yu had consumed the drop of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar Lin Yuan had given her and was very healthy, she was clearly experiencing hypoglycemia.

"Young Master, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll go rest for a while after I cook for you and Big Brother Liu."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan replied, "Sit here and rest for a while. We'll order lunch." Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

At that moment, Liu Jie said, "I'm familiar with the takeouts around here. I'll order the food now." Then, he took out his cell phone, ready to order food.

Lin Yuan took an incense burner carved with all kinds of auspicious feys from a nearby shelf. He searched with his spiritual energy in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and took out a piece of black-crystal-like wood.

It was very small, about ten centimeters long, and just two fingers thick. It was agarwood.

This agarwood had completely turned into jade, just like the wooden furniture, after being placed in Lin Yuan's Spirit Lock spatial zone for a long time.

Lin Yuan gently broke the black-crystal-like agarwood with a snap, took a small section, and placed it in the incense burner. Then, he summoned Chimey that quickly understood what he wanted it to do. It used Scattered Light on the agarwood, causing a subtle light to land on and burn it. The burning agarwood emitted a very soothing aroma.

Before Lin Yuan's body had recovered, he had always been prone to dizziness, so he had to prepare a lot of such wood. Agarwood was quite common, and he had stored quite a lot previously. Afterward, he had thrown them into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, as he could not use them.

The emitted aroma could be calming to the mind, and over time, Lin Yuan also liked its smell. Although the smell was subtle, the essence of the aroma was pure.

The agarwood was like a fixed stone. If the heart could be like this agarwood, why be afraid of the turmoil in the outside world?

When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan burning the agarwood for her, she quickly said, "Young Master, this agarwood is precious. I'll be fine after resting a while."

Lin Yuan shook his head at her and answered, "Go take some rest after eating. It's been hard on you."

Lin Yuan had much jade-like agarwood in his Spirit Lock spatial zone. He would certainly have sold this jade-like furniture and agarwood when he had been short of money in the past to exchange for resources so that he and Chu Ci could improve their strength. However, he was no longer short of resources now.

The jade-like furniture and agarwood were just decorations in life. It was natural to use them when he needed them.

After Chimey had been summoned, it immediately chirped and flew from the first floor to the third floor. After circling twice and standing on the shelf, it chirped for a while. Then, it landed on Lin Yuan's ear and intimately touched his fringe.

He looked at Chimey and could not help but reveal a pampered smile. It was really clingy.

Chapter 178: Have No Choice but to Raise a Leech

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jie's heart leaped when Lin Yuan broke the agarwood earlier. Other people with this jade-like agarwood would probably be afraid of breaking them, so they would cautiously store them and pass them down as a family heirloom.

However, Lin Yuan had actually broken it in his hand and used it.

Liu Jie had experienced the shock a few times before, so he was unconsciously used to it.

As compared to Lin Yuan using the jade-like agarwood so easily, he was more concerned about the azure blue bird standing and wheedling on Lin Yuan's ear.

As a spirit qi professional who had comprehended a Willpower Rune, he could distinguish if a fey was a Fantasy Breed more clearly than ordinary spirit qi professionals. This was because Fantasy Breed feys emitted the Willpower Rune's scent. To put it bluntly, they carried the world's willpower on them.

Thus, when Lin Yuan summoned Chimey, Liu Jie could see that it was a Fantasy Breed. Liu Jie felt that Lin Yuan was like a veil of mist that could never be seen clearly.

When he had first met Lin Yuan and became his retainer, Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan could heal his Insect Queen and was a Class 2 Creation Master. But after interacting with him, Lin Yuan had refreshed his perception, especially this Silver Fantasy Breed avian fey.

However, Liu Jie thought little of it, as he had long positioned himself as the strongest shield in front of Lin Yuan.

The better Lin Yuan's talents were, and the stronger he was, the more he would encourage Liu Jie. This let him know he needed to work hard again and again to improve his strength. Otherwise, he might not even be qualified to become a shield over time.

Wen Yu looked at the young man, who was playing with the azure blue bird on his ear, through the white mist that rose from the agarwood in the incense burner and felt an indescribable feeling.

The hard work that she had put in for the past two months was more than just gratitude to the young man in front of her. Rather, she had gotten a new lease of life from one of his choices. What she needed to do was to fight for this new lease of life. At the same time, she was very grateful to herself for being optimistic about life.

Without her former self, how could this cheerful young man before her eyes have chosen her?

As the agarwood burned in the incense burner, its smell made it seem as if time had stopped. The quiet scene reflected the bright light from the jade-like furniture and the unspeakable quietness of the passage of time, which was disturbed by the takeout delivery.

After eating lunch, Wen Yu went to rest.

Liu Jie was going to buy some daily necessities and also spiritual ingredients with grades. As Lin Yuan's retainer, he naturally had to live in the manor with him, so the manor was also considered his home.

Naturally, he could not order takeout for all his meals. Although it might be troublesome for him to cook sometimes, food's fragrance could make the house cozier.

The 1,000-square-meters manor had a lot of rooms, and Lin Yuan still had to do some detailed planning for the arrangements.

He took out his cell phone and called Chu Ci. Instead of going back home during the holidays, she had gone to participate in the Redbud Hundred's special training. She had not hidden her talents after returning to school. Her Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull had attracted the school's attention in the live combat class. Ling Xiao had also handpicked her as a seeded participant in the Redbud Hundred Sequence.

Lin Yuan was not worried about her training outside during the holidays, as Cold Moon had gone to Redbud City. With Cold Moon around, Chu Ci naturally would not face any dangers. The real danger was the people who had any opinions of her because of her talents.

After hanging up and knowing Chu Ci was doing fine, Lin Yuan suddenly realized Zhang Xiaobai had posted in his friends' circle. Lin Yuan did not add many people as his friends on his cell phone, except for his Master, the Moon Empress, his sister, Chu Ci, Cold Moon, Mystic Moon, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and the Extreme Guild Club's quartet. Adding them up, there were only 11 people. However, they did not usually post in the friends' circle except for Zhang Xiaobai.

When he opened his friends' circle, Lin Yuan saw Zhang Xiaobai had taken a photo of a cup with a Bronze wolfberry in it. He wrote the following words:

Zhang Xiaobai: "I have no choice but to raise a leech. Soaking wolfberry in the insulated cup."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and replied below.

Lin Yuan: "Wolfberry can hardly stop the leech. Add angelica."

Lin Yuan was about to put down his cell phone when Zhang Xiaobai suddenly replied to him in the friends' circle.

Zhang Xiaobai: "Angelica can hardly stop Xin Ying's hammer. Soak ginseng and deer antler in shaojiu1."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Xiaobai's reply and raised his brows. At that moment, Tan Ran replied below.

Tan Ran: "Brother Zhang, are you trying to 'battle' with Lin Yuan?"

Zhang Xiaobai: "Actually, when I was about to say, 'Ginseng and deer antlers are not enough. I also need kidney skewers and kidney supplements.', Lin Yuan had already lost."

Lu Pinru: "You're just craving roasted kidney skewers!"

Xin Ying: "Zhang Xiaobai, did you pour the wolfberry drink I gave you into the toilet bowl and didn't flush it? Are you trying to provoke me?"

Lin Yuan found that Zhang Xiaobai was quiet after Xin Ying sent this message. He brainstormed and thought that Zhang Xiaobai should be suffering Xin Ying's iron fist of justice right now.

He exhaled gently. It seemed that he had won the 'battle'. He returned to his bedroom and went onto Star Web, which he had not done in a long time.

It had to be said that he had not been on Star Web much. During these four months, Lin Yuan had been busy with improving his strength. He had even just shipped four months' worth of goods to Zhou Jiaxin in one go. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

When he went on Star Web again, Lin Yuan realized there were tens of thousands of unread messages in his Star Web store. Among them, nearly 1,000 of them were from merchants who wanted to buy a lot of feys from his store, as the feys he sold were in high demand and short supply in the market.

Every time Lin Yuan put these feys for sale, those people waiting would sweep them away within a few minutes. If they did not manage to do so when Lin Yuan put the feys on sale, then they could dream about buying other feys from his store.

Lin Yuan ignored these purchasing requests. Since the feys sold in his store were in short supply and they would be sold out right away every time he put them on sale, he would not just sell them to anyone. This would not help his store's fame.

These thousands of messages came from some customers seeking to buy his feys. For the remaining tens of thousands of messages, he realized they came from a group under his store.

Lin Yuan was puzzled, as he did not remember joining any groups. Why did he have so many messages?

He clicked on it and understood why.

Chapter 179: The Purchase With No Loss Store's Fan Club

This group was actually his store's fan club. After each completed transaction from his Star Web store, the buyers could rate his store once and choose to spend a certain price to enter his fan club.

People would usually not enter such a store's fan club. After all, which customers would be willing to pay a certain price after buying from one's store to join their fan club?

Some large Class 4 and Class 5 stores presided by Creation Masters might have such a privilege.

Actually, joining such a fan club was so that they could better spend in the store or communicate with the store owner.

Lin Yuan looked at his store's fan club, where there were only 37 people.

How had these 37 people crazily created tens of thousands of messages?

Lin Yuan could not help but feel dumbfounded.

He had not put many new feys on sale in the last few months, and each time he did, the few people waiting online had snatched them away. Therefore, there were only a few buyers every time he put new ones on sale.

Presently, Lin Yuan's Purchase With No Loss store had a little reputation on Star Web. However, his store's reputation was somewhat interesting. The store buyers found that this store was indeed like its name, as one simply could buy nothing.

Almost all the customers who had purchased feys from his store had joined the fan club. At first, they had joined because they wanted to meet Lin Yuan and see if they could get more goods from him.

Not only had they not managed to meet the mysterious owner, Lin Yuan, but various fake news from other people in the group had also cheated them.

Every time someone shouted that the store had new feys for sale, the other people in the group who wanted to buy the goods would go over immediately, only to find out there was nothing.

The most outrageous thing was that a few people in the group had the bright idea of setting an alarm clock in the middle of the night.

It took those people great efforts to wake up in the morning, yet they would immediately become spirited once the alarm clock rang. They would shout in the fan club, "There are new feys on sale!"

They had tricked most people in the group into waiting at Lin Yuan's store. However, after one hour, two hours, they would find nothing and end up being duped.

On the contrary, all of them were smart when there were new goods. Those who managed to snatch would boast in the fan club. Slowly, the people in Lin Yuan's fan club had developed a competitive friendship.

Lin Yuan's fan club numbers grew very slowly. After all, it was really hard to emerge from the dozens of hungry wolves and snatch the feys to have the qualification to join the fan club.

Lin Yuan realized that there were many familiar people in this group chat—the braised egg head(Stream in the Cloud), Zhou Jiaxin, the violent-tempered woman, and the Buddha-tempered person.

The braised egg head and Big Sister Xin were clearly the most active among them and had the potential to become the Deputy Club Leader. Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

Stream in the Cloud: "Deep Mountain Elder Lin hasn't been on Star Web recently. As the store owner, he has said nothing in his fan club."

Violent-Tempered Woman: "He might be busy."

Stream in the Cloud: "If he is, Big Sister Xin and I will help to manage the fan club. We can't let those who joined in late have a chance of being cheated."

Violent-Tempered Woman: "Let them all stand in punishment at the store entrance in the middle of the night!"

Then, she tagged the Buddha-tempered person.

Buddha-Tempered Person: "The Buddha asked, why did you tag me?"

Violent-Tempered Woman: "Buddha has long cried with you bringing it up every day. Last time, you bluffed me that there were new goods and made me wait bitterly for three hours! You wait and see for the next six months!"

Buddha-Tempered Person: "The Buddha said to requite evil with good."

Violent-Tempered Woman: "Did the Buddha tell you that what comes around goes around?"

Stream in the Cloud: "Don't you guys think these prodigies reported on the Star Web recently are simply too powerful?"

Zhou Jiaxin: "Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy has a spirit qi professional with a Bronze Fantasy Breed defense-type fey. I've never heard of such a fey before. This young girl has become a benchmark for top geniuses, and she's known as the '1-in-4,000-years rare genius'!"

Stream in the Cloud: "Do you guys know about the recently famous Black? Star Web reported Black has a Silver Fantasy Breed healing-type fey that can make limbs grow back."

Violent-Tempered Woman: "The entire Radiance Federation only has a few Fantasy Breed healing-type feys."

Stream in the Cloud: "Including Black's Silver Fantasy Breed fey, there should currently be dozens of them. However, I've never heard of a Fantasy Breed healing-type fey that can make limbs grow back."

Violent-Tempered Woman: "I heard that the king-class expert Sand King posted a message on Star Web, hoping that Black can help heal his son's broken left leg. He's willing to pay with a Platinum/Flawless fey."

Stream in the Cloud: "I later heard that Sand King deleted the message. I wonder if he found Black to heal his son."

Violent-Tempered Woman: "I wonder if Black's healing-type fey is as powerful as reported."

Zhou Jiaxin: "Everyone in Millstone Town said so. It certainly can't be wrong! And Black is a hero! You'll know when you see more posts about him!"

Stream in the Cloud: "I don't dare to look at posts related to him. I heard that you have to be especially careful of an administrator called Ancestor Peace. If anyone dares to talk bad about Black, and they aren't as fast as the Divine Travel Black Swallow, they won't be able to protect themselves."

Buddha-Tempered Person: "Big Sister Xin, are you Black's fangirl?"

Violent-Tempered Woman: "A fangirl? She's an aunty fan!"

Zhou Jiaxin: "None of your business!"

Although Lin Yuan knew people would pay attention to Chu Ci when she revealed her talents, and she would become a household name, he did not expect that almost everyone would know her in a span of two months. Likewise, he did not expect his identity as Black to draw so much attention.

Regarding Sand King, Lin Yuan simply could not figure out what was going on, nor did he have any idea.

Lin Yuan was going to climb the Star Tower as Black, and when he ascended to the Celestial Stairway, he would naturally be exposed to the Radiance Federation people.

This was because Star Web would record every battle after reaching the Celestial Stairway and store them in the video library. Every Stab Web user could watch these recorded battles for a certain price.

Star Web would take part of the income from these viewings and distribute the rest to the duel's winner in the video. Only the winner could receive the proceeds from the video.

Every expert who climbed above the Celestial Stairway was akin to a star.

At present, it felt amazing with people discussing him behind his back.

After Lin Yuan observed, he silently lurked. After he put a new batch of Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish and Bronze Usneas in the Purchase With No Loss store, he visited Zhou Jiaxin's store.

This time, Lin Yuan was going to buy a lot of goods from her store. He had almost consumed all the inferior energy ores and low-grade energy ores that he had stocked up.

Chapter 180: Zhou Jiaxin Has Something to Say

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Originally, Lin Yuan didn't need to purchase any more Normal Spirit-Siphon Goldfish. He was planning to wait for that batch of Five Fortune Ranchu to evolve from Normal to Elite grade and sell them. However, when Lin Yuan was in seclusion for a few months, those Five Fortune Ranchus had actually broken through to the Elite grade and had substantial growth.

Many of them had already reached Elite VI and VII. If these Five Fortune Ranchus were nurtured for a little more time, they would be halfway into the Bronze grade.

The Five Fortune Ranchu was an auspicious breed of Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, and an Elite Five Fortune Ranchu could be sold for 60 to 70 Radiance dollars. But once its grade reached Bronze, the prices of the Five Fortune Ranchus would increase by over a hundred times and reach close to 10,000 Radiance dollars.

Bronze Five Fortune Ranchus were actually no different from other Bronze Spirit-Siphon Goldfish. Nonetheless, the price difference was at least 30 times more. It was due to the vibrant multi-colors on the Five Fortune Ranchu and its adorably plump body. It signified that all five fortunes were present and also indicated health and prosperity.

Due to the auspicious signs and rarity of the Five Fortune Ranchus, they were actively sought out.

Lin Yuan was planning to grow these Five Fortune Ranchus to the Bronze grade before putting them for sale on the Star Web store. This way, his Star Web store would have an instant surge in reputation.

Lin Yuan was preparing to manage the Star Web store mainly because he had to enhance feys' grades in order to increase the spiritual power in his body. During this time, Lin Yuan might still feel the growth of his spiritual power, but it was growing at an extremely gradual pace. It was obvious that Lin Yuan still had a rather long path before becoming a B-rank spirit qi professional.

During the past four months, Lin Yuan had been mainly upgrading his feys' quality. Apart from Red Thorn, he had upgraded the rest of his feys' quality to Legend. In terms of enhancing the grade, apart from the Jasmine Lily and Chimey, which had evolved from Bronze/Fantasy to Silver/Fantasy, and the Gold Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, Lin Yuan hadn't really enhanced the grade of other feys.

This was part of the reason why Lin Yuan's spiritual power growth was rather slow.

Therefore, for the next period, Lin Yuan would climb the Star Tower and enhance a massive number of feys to increase his spiritual power. After enhancing all the feys, Lin Yuan would naturally put them on sale in his Star Web store.

Lin Yuan wasn't just going to separate his statuses as a Creation Master and as a combat-class spirit qi professional. He was also going to make changes to the Star Web store.

In the future, the Star Web store would only be selling high in demand feys that Lin Yuan enhanced in batches. As for those truly rare feys that he enhanced and those custom-ordered services, Lin Yuan would be conducting them in his newly built manor in the Royal Capital.

Just by looking at the fan club for Purchase With No Loss Fey Store, Lin Yuan knew that no matter how many new feys he put up, the fan club's number wouldn't increase significantly. In fact, recruitment was only going to get harder in the future. Before anyone would enter the fan club, they would need to see if they were able to successfully purchase any of the new feys on the Star Web store. To purchase any feys from the Purchase With No Loss Fey Store, they would need to see if these hungry wolves in the fan club would agree.

After reaching Zhou Jiaxin's store, Lin Yuan realized that her store was twice as big as before. It seemed like when Lin Yuan had been in seclusion, her store had upgraded from Class 3 to Class 4. When he saw Zhou Jiaxin in the store, he realized that she was gnashing her teeth and harping about something.

"Buddha-Tempered Person is a shameless old hag! Her heart is simply black! This time, everything has been taken up by that old hag! Damn it!"

Subsequently, Zhou Jiaxin lifted her head and saw Lin Yuan. Her face immediately revealed a smile as she walked over quickly. "Lin Yuan, it has been some time since you visited."

One month ago, by using the large quantities of Bronze Usneas and Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish provided by Lin Yuan, Zhou Jiaxin had finally and successfully promoted this Class 3 store into a Class 4 store. After the promotion, the size of the store had increased by at least two times.

This had allowed Zhou Jiaxin to rearrange the store, leading to a more comprehensive supply of feys and spiritual ingredients.

Zhou Jiaxin's store had always had a good reputation, so when it was promoted to Class 4, her reputation had received a huge burst, allowing her business to be much better than before.

However, Zhou Jiaxin knew that everything that had happened was because of this youth in front of her. Had it not been for the huge supply of Bronze Usneas and Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, even if she worked hard for ten years, she wouldn't be able to promote this store to Class 4.

In fact, during the past few times when Lin Yuan delivered the goods to her, Zhou Jiaxin had realized that Lin Yuan's feys were different from the ones that other Creation Masters sold. The feys' grade and quality might be the same as the ones other Creation Masters provided, but Lin Yuan's feys were much better in appearance.

Take the Usneas, for example. The Usneas Lin Yuan provided would have thicker stems and plumper leaves that contained more juices too. They were far better than the other Bronze Usneas in the market.

It was the same as two individuals, one was stronger while the other was weaker.

In the past, Zhou Jiaxin's store hadn't had the support of any Creation Masters, so she knew that a Class 3 store was already the limits of her capability. Only by relying on a Creation Master would she be able to upgrade her store to Class 4 and continue to maintain the status.

This youth in front of her was already a Class 2 Creation Master at such a young age, so it was enough to say that his talent was truly immeasurable.

Furthermore, after seeing how Lin Yuan's store was constantly putting new feys for sale, Zhou Jiaxin knew how terrifying Lin Yuan's capability and background was.

There were plenty of veteran Class 4 stores that were trying all methods to contact the owner of Purchase With No Loss Fey Store to cooperate. It was enough to prove the influence that Lin Yuan's store had right now.

After hearing Zhou Jiaxin's greeting, Lin Yuan let out a sunshine smile and said, "I have been busy upgrading the quality of my feys. Thus, I didn't have time to visit until now. Aren't I here to provide the goods for Big Sister Xin now that I am free?"

When Zhou Jiaxin saw the sunshine smile on Lin Yuan's face and thought how her store was immediately promoted to Class 4, she firmed down her thoughts. She then used a serious expression to ask, "Lin Yuan, how do you think of Big Sister Xin's store?"

When Lin Yuan heard Zhou Jiaxin's sudden question and saw her serious expression, he took a careful look at the store that Zhou Jiaxin managed tidily and neatly after the promotion into a Class 4 store.

At present, the store had an obviously bigger influx of customers than the previous time he had visited.

"Big Sister Xin has been managing this store very well. Big Sister Xin's business must be booming nowadays."

In fact, when Zhou Jiaxin asked Lin Yuan about her store, he already had a vague feeling and knew what she was going to say next.

Chapter 181: A Feeling as Though Life Is at the Pinnacle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Jiaxin was at a loss for a moment. When Zhou Jiaxin had promoted her store to Class 4, she had already firmed up on the idea that had popped in her mind. However, it was useless even if she was determined, as the decision-maker for this idea wasn't in Zhou Jiaxin's control. It would be up to this youth's opinion.

Zhou Jiaxin didn't immediately speak of her thoughts. Instead, she walked to the counter and took out a document that had been drafted a long time ago and said, "Lin Yuan, take a look at this."

Zhou Jiaxin was a decisive person and always did things with resolve. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to promote this store to Class 3 without a Creation Master's backing. In fact, her store had only been one step away from promoting to Class 4 before meeting Lin Yuan.

When Zhou Jiaxin had thought of the idea, she had immediately drafted up this document. However, this document had been in here for over a month, and every time Zhou Jiaxin had a different idea, she would take the document out. Unknowingly, she had already edited it at least three times. Each edit would cause extreme pain to Zhou Jiaxin, but she would be extremely determined when making each edit.

When Lin Yuan read the document, he couldn't help raising his brows. He sighed silently. I guessed it correctly, as expected.

However, the content of the document gave Lin Yuan quite a shock.

Zhou Jiaxin's document was actually a collaboration agreement, and the contents were very simple. It was to maintain the current collaboration model, and 20% of the profit from Zhou Jiaxin's store would be the remuneration for Lin Yuan to continue supplying goods to Zhou Jiaxin. At the same time, Zhou Jiaxin even granted 30% of the store's shares as a condition for Lin Yuan to increase the supply quantity.

The 30% of shares was an additional bonus that didn't include the 20% profits. If the store closed down when the store was sold, Lin Yuan would still receive compensation from the 30% of shares.

Of course, there was a prerequisite. Lin Yuan wasn't allowed to sell the 30% of shares while the store was still operating normally.

After reading this collaboration agreement carefully, Lin Yuan was rather surprised. This agreement was at least twice as good as those agreements provided by Class 5 stores when they worked with their chief Creation Master. Most of the Class 5 stores would provide huge bonuses for the Creation Master that backed them, but only a rare few would be willing to offer the store's shares to the Creation Master.

Lin Yuan already knew that Zhou Jiaxin was a person who insisted on the quality of spiritual ingredients and was a very sincere and honest business owner. However, he didn't expect Zhou Jiaxin to actually have such courage.

Lin Yuan silently considered the feasibility of this collaboration agreement. He didn't try to be unreasonable with the superior conditions that Zhou Jiaxin offered. After all, Lin Yuan had been managing his own fey store since the age of eight, so he was already a businessman.

Lin Yuan was willing to supply goods to Zhou Jiaxin mainly because she risked reserving severely injured feys that might die for him to choose. Otherwise, Lin Yuan wouldn't have the chance to obtain feys like the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus and Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia.

Even with Lin Yuan's current wealth, he might be able to obtain the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, but he still wouldn't be able to obtain the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia.

In essence, the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia had a similar value with the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia. The Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia could eliminate the impurities in the body, while the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia could increase the spiritual energy.

The Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia might not be like the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia—there were only two in the world—but it was rather rare too.

It was because of Zhou Jiaxin's investment and effort. Lin Yuan was able to feel it, so he was willing to supply goods to Zhou Jiaxin's store.

Otherwise, if Lin Yuan was truly out to sell feys, he might as well have placed them up for sale on Purchase With No Loss Fey Store. After all, the feys would all be snatched in a few seconds no matter how many he put up for sale.

The feys Lin Yuan provided, when compared to the high demand in the Radiance Federation's market, his supply was just a drop in the ocean.

However, Lin Yuan had to admit that this collaboration agreement proposed by Zhou Jiaxin had conditions that didn't allow Lin Yuan to disagree as a businessman.

Zhou Jiaxin's store was already a Class 4 one now. Lin Yuan might not be able to sell the shares that were offered by Zhou Jiaxin, but just the dividends from the 30% of shares were already a great sum. Furthermore, the 20% of the profit was also additional, making it two levels of profits.

After all the calculations, Lin Yuan only had to provide more goods to Zhou Jiaxin and would be able to obtain a pure profit of 41% from Zhou Jiaxin's operations. Such a profit was truly significant. In addition, Lin Yuan wasn't providing the goods for free as Zhou Jiaxin would still need to purchase the goods at the price that they had set previously.

Zhou Jiaxin watched as Lin Yuan was constantly reading this agreement and couldn't help feeling nervous. She was truly afraid that Lin Yuan would reject her, but if she had to increase the number of profits sharing or increase the number of shares, she couldn't do it.

Zhou Jiaxin had already split 41% of the store's pure profit with Lin Yuan and still had to spend additional money to purchase goods. After all the calculations, Zhou Jiaxin actually didn't earn as much as when she was operating a Class 3 store. The Class 4 store was two times bigger than the Class 3 store, and Zhou Jiaxin had to hire two more store staff members. Coupled with the maintenance required to open a Class 4 store in the Star Web, not much money would come into Zhou Jiaxin's hands.

From the angle of a business person, Zhou Jiaxin's decision wasn't wise. However, Zhou Jiaxin wasn't just a business person. She was also a person with ambitions.

Five years ago, Zhou Jiaxin had painstakingly developed a Class 1 store until it was now a Class 4 store. Zhou Jiaxin knew clearly that if she didn't make a deep collaboration with Lin Yuan and if he decided to stop the supply to her store one day, her Class 4 store would immediately lose its core selling point. The reputation of the store would then decline harshly.

In fact, when Lin Yuan had supplied the goods, Zhou Jiaxin had experienced a kind of joy that she hadn't felt when operating the store.

In the past, she would be thinking of all sorts of methods for the customer to spend more money to purchase the spiritual ingredients and feys in her store. However, now, it was the customers that would say all sorts of nice words to purchase the Bronze Usneas and Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish that Lin Yuan supplied. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

It was simply a satisfying feeling!

After investing all her efforts into the store and being begged by others to sell her goods, it was truly an utmost enjoyment that could only be felt at the pinnacle of life.

If Zhou Jiaxin had to describe such a feeling, she would probably have jumped out and yelled out, "Such a high! I feel as though life is at the pinnacle!"

The past few months' experiences had given Zhou Jiaxin an eye-opener. She didn't have a change of concept on how to manage her store, but at the same time, she grew something called ambition.

Zhou Jiaxin wished to promote her Star Web store to Class 5 while she was still alive!

Ever since that thought had flashed in Zhou Jiaxin's mind, it had only been getting stronger. Finally, it was already irreversible.

Chapter 182: Ostrich Guild Club

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

However, Zhou Jiaxin understood that she would need to rely on this youth if she wished to promote the store to Class 5. Just as Zhou Jiaxin felt as though her heart was thumping so much that it would jump out, and when she was so nervous that her throat was feeling dry, she saw the youth lifting his head and giving a sunshine smile.

He revealed a small set of white teeth and said, "The conditions offered by Big Sister Xin are very good. I agree to the terms stated in the collaboration agreement. We can collaborate."

Lin Yuan's words and sunshine smile allowed Zhou Jiaxin to put her heart back to its original place while there was a surge of ecstasy in her heart. Zhou Jiaxin knew that once this agreement was set with the youth, even if it was unknown if her store could reach Class 5, it would certainly maintain its Class 4 status.

"Lin Yuan, now that you are also a boss of the store, I shall let you see the detailed profit report during this period."

Lin Yuan shook his hand and said, "Big Sister Xin, I will only provide the goods according to the agreement. I will not be involved with the management of the store."

Lin Yuan's words allowed Zhou Jiaxin's heart to firm down. She was really afraid that Lin Yuan might want to change various management methods for the store.

Lin Yuan had very simple reasons to refuse.

Firstly, he didn't have the time to help Zhou Jiaxin with the management of the store.

Secondly, Zhou Jiaxin was doing a great job with the management, and he didn't have any opinions to provide.

Thirdly, the store was the same as a team of combat-class spirit qi professionals. Each team member might be able to provide their opinions, but the team could only have one leader and one main voice, especially during combat.

Otherwise, two voices might just split the full force into two, even though the objective was to push forward. But when two forces were pushing toward the same objective, there would be implications and interferences between the two forces.

Lin Yuan used a pen to sign the agreement, and after verifying it with the Star Web laws, it was now officially effective.

The load on Zhou Jiaxin's mind had finally been resolved today.

At that moment, Zhou Jiaxin watched as Lin Yuan's slender fingers with distinct bone structures placed the pen and document on the counter.

"Big Sister Xin, since I am already one of the bosses of the store, then I shall also contribute to this store. After some time, I might not be supplying Bronze Usneas anymore. Instead, they will be switched to Silver Usneas."

Lin Yuan's words overjoyed Zhou Jiaxin. If Lin Yuan could provide Silver Usneas, then the store could rely on the Silver Usneas to break through to Class 5, and it was almost certain.

Lin Yuan truly brought her a huge, pleasant surprise. Zhou Jiaxin could already imagine the customers in her store that would be going crazy as they would want to purchase those Silver Usneas in the store.

Zhou Jiaxin was actually making plans that all future customers must reach a certain purchase quota in order to qualify for the purchase of Silver Usneas.

Zhou Jiaxin's store had been selling feys and spiritual ingredients that were fundamental but had great quality. All these fundamental spiritual ingredients were things that most Star Web stores possessed. All along, Zhou Jiaxin had never really had any ability to compete and would always rely on superior quality.

However, with the Silver Usneas now, Zhou Jiaxin could use them as the core to push the sales of all fundamental spiritual ingredients in the store. Zhou Jiaxin couldn't help but feel that when she had tried her best to build connections with Lin Yuan, it was the most important and best decision she had made for the store after all these years.

In the past, Zhou Jiaxin had always felt that the highest level of bootlicking was to bootlick without leaving any traces or presence. But now, she had changed her original thoughts—the highest level of bootlicking was not to leave any traces and presence, at the same time, obtain a huge group of bootlickers yourself.

After verifying the agreement together with Zhou Jiaxin, Lin Yuan purchased plenty of low-grade energy ores and Normal Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, making this a fruitful trip.

Lin Yuan might be the boss of this store too, but business was still business between him and Zhou Jiaxin. Just like how Zhou Jiaxin would need to spend to purchase the feys from him, he would also need to spend to purchase spiritual ingredients and feys from the store.

However, when Lin Yuan purchased anything from Zhou Jiaxin's store, he would also obtain a compensation of 41% in pure profits. For Lin Yuan, who purchased huge quantities of energy ores, he would be able to save up quite a bit of Radiance dollars after days and months of savings.

After selling the goods, Lin Yuan left the Star Web.

Due to the new address, Lin Yuan had changed the delivery address from the small fey store in Redbud City's Xia Region to the manor in the Royal Capital's outskirts. Lin Yuan realized that the Ostrich Logistics were particularly fast this time and used less than one hour to deliver the goods.

It seemed like Zhou Jiaxin's actual address was also nearby the Royal Capital.

The Ostrich Logistics was truly a powerful organization in the Radiance Federation. When Lin Yuan traveled from the Royal Capital to Redbud City, even if he rode on the Platinum Divine Travel Black Swallow, he would also need three to four days. But for the couriers of Ostrich Logistics, they would always be able to deliver the goods within three hours, no matter the address.

It was basically due to the fact that the Ostrich Logistics nurtured a unique spatial-type fey. This kind of spatial-type fey was able to conduct long-distance teleportation. This was also why Ostrich Logistics was able to become a giant in the logistic world.

Lin Yuan could see Ah Neng carrying over a dozen Bronze fey storage boxes. As Ah Neng had become Lin Yuan's exclusive courier over the past few months, Lin Yuan could feel that she was gradually developing into a veteran. However, some things remained unchanged—Ah Neng's carelessness and optimism.

Ah Neng quickly waved her hand when she saw Lin Yuan and said, "Mister Lin, aren't I fast this time? Since Mister Lin changed address, Ah Neng doesn't have to be teleported for such a long time, making me dizzy. Aiya!"

When Ah Neng waved her hand at Lin Yuan, she seemed to forget that she was carrying the Bronze fey storage boxes. As a result, some of the boxes fell onto the ground.

Ah Neng rubbed her short purple-red hair embarrassedly and started to arrange the Bronze fey storage boxes on the ground.

Lin Yuan had purchased a huge amount of low-grade energy ores, and without over a dozen of Bronze fey storage boxes, they wouldn't fit.

Lin Yuan walked over and helped Ah Neng with the arrangement. After arranging the Bronze fey storage boxes, Ah Neng swished her short hair, revealed her two little tiger teeth, and said in a pitiful voice, "Mister Lin, newcomer Courier 3451, Ah Neng might not be able to make deliveries for some time."

Lin Yuan listened to Ah Neng and looked at her while waiting for her to continue.

Ah Neng blinked reluctantly twice before she revealed an extremely optimistic smile. "Ah Neng is a member of the Ostrich Guild Club's S Tournament Reserve Team. In another two months, the S Tournament will begin, so Ah Neng has to return to the team for special training. But after the S Tournament, newcomer Courier 3451 will still be your exclusive courier."

During the past few months, whenever Lin Yuan's store delivered or received goods, Ah Neng would be the one making the deliveries. Therefore, Lin and Ah Neng had really become close acquaintances.

Back at the Xia Region, when Lin Yuan had learned that Ah Neng possessed the Gold Armor-Piercing Insect and Canister Shot Insect, he knew that her status in the Ostrich Logistics wasn't simple.

As expected, Ah Neng was a newcomer that was supported by the Ostrich Logistics and even a member of the Ostrich Guild Club, S Tournament Reserve Team, which was under the Ostrich Logistics.

The Ostrich Guild Club was different from the Extreme Guild Club Zhang Xiaobai and Xin Ying were from. The Extreme Guild Club was just a B-level guild club, but the Ostrich Guild Club was among the top 16 guild clubs in the entire Radiance Federation and was part of the A-level guild clubs.

"Ah Neng, good luck with the S Tournament! By the time you return, you will no longer be the newcomer courier, Ah Neng. You will be the senior courier, Ah Neng. During this period, Ah Neng has been doing a great job."

Ah Neng was rarely praised, so when Lin Yuan praised her, she was overjoyed and revealed her two small tiger teeth, making her particularly cute.

"Then Mister Lin shall wait for the senior courier, Ah Neng, to return from the S Tournament and be your exclusive courier again. During the S Tournament, I will use a bullet rain to extinguish my opponent's pain."

While speaking, Ah Neng made a fist as though to prove herself to Lin Yuan and encourage herself.

After receiving the goods, Lin Yuan stored all of these Bronze fey storage boxes that were filled with low-grade energy ores into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

After arranging the low-grade energy ores and Normal Spirit-Siphon Goldfish he had bought from Zhou Jiaxin's store, Lin Yuan returned to his room and changed to another Star Web Card before logging into the Star Web.

After logging into the Star Web, Lin Yuan asked Genius to use its exclusive skill and turn into a mask for him to wear. This time, Lin Yuan didn't log into the Star Web as the store owner of Purchase With No Loss Fey Store or the Class 2 Creation Master. He was logging into the Star Web as the combat-class spirit qi professional, Black.

Lin Yuan's objective this time was to climb the tower and break through to the Celestial Stairway. He would use this process when climbing the tower to feel his strength and weakness. He could also use this time to develop a mutual understanding and teamwork with his newly upgraded partners during battle.

Chapter 183: I Admit That You Are a Fan of Black

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Back at the Guild Alliance, Lin Yuan had separated his statuses of Creation Master and combat-class spirit qi professional. They were set apart for his two Star Web Cards.

Lin Yuan's status as Black, the healing-type spirit qi professional, was naturally bound to Lin Yuan's record when he climbed the Star Tower.

When Lin Yuan had climbed the Star Tower previously, he had stopped when he defeated the spirit qi professional who possessed three Bronze snake-species feys.

At that time, Lin Yuan's strongest fey had only been his bronze-grade Chimey.

If that spirit qi professional with the three snake-species feys hadn't publicly given out his feys' information, Lin Yuan wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand first. Lin Yuan had used swift commands to Chimey and used tactics, along with the exclusive skill, Clear Sky, to win the battle.

In fact, that spirit qi professional with the snake-species feys had revealed his feys' information because he had been trying to act tough!

Lin Yuan still remembered that the highest the spirit qi professional had climbed was the 37th floor. As for Lin Yuan, he was only on the 22nd floor. Therefore, that spirit qi professional had found a reason to flaunt his superiority.

Every ten floors of the Star Tower was a jump, so for a spirit qi professional who had been to the 37th floor, he had naturally not taken Lin Yuan seriously as the highest the latter had climbed was only on the 22nd floor.

Nonetheless, in Lin Yuan's opinion, exposing one's trump cards to others was the most foolish choice anyone could make.

As compared to the time when Lin Yuan had fought with the spirit qi professional with the snake-species feys, Lin Yuan's strength now had undergone an overwhelming change.

Lin Yuan had yet to lose when climbing the tower, so his win rate on the Star Tower was still 100%.

Lin Yuan checked his Star Tower personal information card.

Name: Black

Gender: Male

Height: 178cm

Weight: 61kg

Star Tower Floor: 23rd Floor

Spirit Qi Occupation: Healing-type Professional

Occupation Rank: C-Rank

Contracted Spirit-Lifeform:

Morbius (Bronze X/Legend)

Thousand Questions Beast (Bronze I/Legend)

Twilight Starbird (Silver I/Fantasy I)

Red Thorn (Bronze V/Epic)

Acid Corrosion Queen Bee (Gold I/Legend)

Duel Record: Duels: 23, Wins: 23, Losses: 0, Highest Floor: 23

While reading his personal and contracted feys' information, Lin Yuan couldn't help giving a satisfied nod. It was a great sense of achievement as this increase in strength was a result of his hard work over the past four months. He was no longer the same as before.

Lin Yuan's personal information card would only display the necessary information—name, duel record, and spirit qi occupation—on the Star Web during battles.

If Lin Yuan chose to reveal any of his contracted feys, his first choice would be his Bronze/Epic Red Thorn, whose quality was the lowest among the others.

As for Lin Yuan's other feys, their quality was at least Legend, and there were even Silver/Fantasy feys. He was afraid it would be so dazzling that it would blind his opponent and cause a huge commotion in the Radiance Federation.

The Silver I/Fantasy I Jasmine Lily, Bronze X/Legend Spirit-Gather Goldfish, and Bronze X/Legend Blue Flash Purple Butterfly were all under Morbius' exclusive skill, Spirit Lock. Thus, even if Lin Yuan's personal information would show Morbius as part of the data, those spirit-locked feys wouldn't be displayed.

After checking his information, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and let the Star Tower match an opponent for him.

Soon enough, Lin Yuan got matched with an opponent on the 24th floor and checked his opponent's personal information card.

Name: Wang Shuai

Spirit Qi Occupation: Defense-type Professional

Duel Record: Duels: 1557, Wins: 790, Losses: 767, Highest Floor: 31

Lin Yuan silently raised his brows. I got matched with a Liver Emperor1! He has actually fought 1557 duels!

However, when Lin Yuan was matched with the opponent named Wang Shuai, they were both stunned. They looked at each other and noticed they were both wearing similar silver masks. However, Lin Yuan's silver mask had a few distinct patterns, while Wang Shuai's silver mask was glistening with pure silver color. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

The defense-type spirit qi professional, Wang Shuai, suddenly asked after snapping out of shock. "Are you also Lord Black's fan?"

Lin Yuan finally understood why he felt something was familiar. This black attire with the silver mask seemed to be his attire back at the battle outside of Millstone Town.

Lin Yuan didn't expect that his status as 'Black' had become this famous. After being absent from the Star Tower for four months, his first duel was actually against a fan of 'Black'.

When Wang Shuai asked that question, Lin Yuan couldn't help pondering. Since I am Black, I should probably be considered Black's fan too, right?

Therefore, Lin Yuan nodded.

Unexpectedly, the moment Lin Yuan nodded, Wang Shuai suddenly roared, "How could Lord Black have such an unprofessional fan like you!? You might be wearing a silver mask, but you aren't even wearing black clothes!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but scratch his head. He was wearing spirit qi clothes that had a mix of dark blue and light blue. Due to his clothes' color, his identity as Black's fan was actually being doubted, and he wasn't qualified to be a fan.

This was a rather strange feeling for Lin Yuan. Before Lin Yuan could speak, Wang Shuai suddenly exclaimed, "What?! Your name is actually Black!? And you are also a healing-type spirit qi professional!"

Wang Shuai turned serious and looked at Lin Yuan, approvingly.

"Your attention to detail on the attire might be inappropriate, but you are rather professional in other factors! I admit that you are a professional fan of Black. Later on, I will not be as harsh against you."

After saying his piece, Wang Shuai circulated his spiritual power to summon his two contracted feys. He summoned two Bronze feys, their quality Elite and Normal, respectively.

The Bronze/Elite Coiled Horn Goat and the Bronze/Normal Thick Wool Sheep were fundamental defense-type feys.

Seeing Wang Shuai summon his feys, Lin Yuan also summoned Chimey.

As soon as Lin Yuan summoned Chimey, he heard Wang Shuai exclaiming, "WHAT THEEEE!"

Chapter 184: Protect Your Liver Well

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a protector who had defended Millstone Town against the pinnacle Class 1 dimensional rift, Black could be said to have fought against the insect tide alone when the people there were in times of peril. This in itself was a miracle.

This event was even more shocking than the time when Liu Jie, Radiance Hundred's Sequence #39, had resisted the incoming dimensional lifeforms outside Cold Frost City to buy precious time for the city.

Liu Jie was a well-known star among the Radiance Federation, and because of this, whatever he did could only be said to be the icing on the cake.

It was like a flower bed that had flowers of all colors. Even if one added many peonies into it so that the garden could become bright and colorful, it was still a flower bed.

However, Black, an ordinary person, had stepped forward in times of peril. He was more like a hero rising from the ordinary people.

Back then, he had used the Silver Fantasy Breed healing-type fey's ability that could allow severed limbs to grow back, an astonishing feat.

Even though Lin Yuan had left quietly at that time and had not accepted any commendations or the Star Web's interview, this had tinted Black's identity with mysteriousness.

Although he had accepted no interviews from Ascending Dragon City's or Star Web's reporters, Millstone Town's spirit qi professionals, who had fought together with him, did not know how he really looked like or his identity, but they knew a lot about other things.

There were detailed descriptions in Black's fan club and forum about Chimey, Blackie, and Red Thorn, the feys he had used.

Some people in Millstone Town that were at drawing had even drawn the feys that Black had summoned. All the feys' names that Lin Yuan had called, like Chimey and Blackie, had circulated among the Star Web.

However, the more popular ones were still his Fantasy Breed Jasmine Lily and Red Thorn, which had spread out the sea of flowers to fight against the sea of insects.

When Lin Yuan had summoned Chimey, Wang Shuai was not aware of it. There were many people on Star Web, so it was not unusual to chance upon duplicate names. Likewise, the same could be applied for spirit qi professionals. Even though healing-type spirit qi professionals were rare, there would always be one among the hundreds of combat-class spirit qi professionals.

They were all Black's fans and dressed similarly, but there was nothing wrong with it, even if they did it deliberately.

The most fanatical fans would not form a contract with a fey similar to their idol just for the sake of chasing their idols in this world where strength was respected. Even if brainless fans really did so, it would also have to depend on whether their fey compatibility was the same as their idol's.

During the battle outside Millstone Town that day, Lin Yuan had summoned Chimey to scout the dimensional rift. So many of those who had fought knew how it looked and its name.

As Black's fan, Wang Shuai was considered a bit more fanatical. Otherwise, when climbing the Star Tower, he would not have dressed similarly to what Black had worn when he was fighting in Millstone Town.

Even this azure blue bird that Lin Yuan had summoned was similar to Black's rumored fey.

It was said that Black's flying fey was a blue bird that was no bigger than a fist and had cloud patterns on its wings.

When Wang Shuai saw Lin Yuan's summoned azure blue bird, he realized that this fey seemed to be more exquisite and better-looking than in the rumors. Although the cloud patterns on its wings still seemed to be flickering with stars, which did not match the rumors, its wings' color, size, and cloud patterns were similar.

There were many common points, and he had seen Lin Yuan's battle record. Although he had fought 23 duels, he had a 100% winning rate.

Wang Shuai's eyes instantly went wild, excited like a little kid. "Tell me quickly! Is your blue bird called Chimey?"

Lin Yuan found it strange that Wang Shuai called Chimey's name.

Before Lin Yuan could speak. Chimey chirped twice and fluttered to carefully observe Wang Shuai.

Could he be Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' fan!?

Although Lin Yuan was not quite sure how Wang Shuai knew Chimey's name, this fan before him had recognized him, so he nodded helplessly.

Chimey had become a Fantasy Breed and evolved from a Streamcloud Azure Bird into a Twilight Starbird. Even though there were many subtle changes in its looks, it had not changed much overall. When it used its Radiant Body, nobody could recognize it.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan nod, Wang Shuai jumped in joy. Wang Shuai's sudden jump frightened his Bronze/Elite Coiled Horn Goat and Bronze/Normal Thick Wool Sheep, which were ready to battle at the side. They could not help but lose their battle spirit and bleat at their contractor.

Wang Shuai ignored his shocked contracted feys and exclaimed, "I can't believe I'm actually seeing the living Lord Black!"

Lin Yuan was puzzled. "Have you ever seen a dead Lord Black?"

Wang Shuai suddenly said, "Lord Black, people like you should be sold on Star Web!"

Lin Yuan, who was unable to keep up with Wang Shuai's thinking, asked, "Why?"

Could this fan have gone crazy to the point of delusion?

Was this the so-called 'destroying whatever you can't obtain'?

Wang Shuai chuckled and replied in a silly manner, "Because Lord Black is a treasure!"

Lin Yuan only had one thought. How should he deal with his crazy fan's corny words? He was very anxious and waiting online.

He did not give an answer to Wang Shuai, as he did not know what to say.

As a result, Wang Shuai worshipped him even more because, in Wang Shuai's heart, a god should be aloof!

Meanwhile, the tower climbing duel was still ongoing. The Star Tower's rules did not allow any of the two sides to admit defeat voluntarily. Only in the event that one party died, suffered serious injuries, or could not fight would it be enough for the Star Tower to assess it as losing the ability to fight.

The primary purpose of this rule was to cultivate the duelists' courage and boldness in the battle. Death in the Star Tower did not affect the real world. Hence, it was possible to be unrestrained and hone one's combat skills.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan should have asked Chimey to use Sound Thrust to kill his opponent and advance to the next level. However, he could not bear to attack his fanatic fan and kill him in one blow. Thus, he let it use Scattered Light to attack the other two feys.

Under Chimey's control, Scattered Light could burn and cause serious injuries to the two feys, and the Star Tower would deem him as the winner.

However, Lin Yuan did not expect that after Chimey used Scattered Light, a figure with a silver mask would pounce at the Scattered Light. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

Just as the Scattered Light ignited Wang Shuai's black clothes, he took off his mask and said solemnly, "Lord Black, my name is Wang Shuai! You are the hero of my heart, and I want to take the same path as you in the future!"

Then, he started shouting, "I'm too lucky to die at Lord Black's hands on the Star Web Tower and be blown into fireworks!"

Before Wang Shuai finished shouting, Chimey's Scattered Light instantly swallowed him. He vanished with the Scattered Light, burning him without any ashes left.

After Wang Shuai was incinerated, Lin Yuan also became the victor. Actually, Lin Yuan was quite touched by what Wang Shuai had said after taking off his mask.

Lin Yuan had always had a firm heart and walked on the path he wanted. However, he did not expect that this path could even indirectly influence others.

Water was shaped by things, and people were shaped by their hearts.

In his opinion, people should always have a heart filled with love. Otherwise, they would not differ from a zombie.

Also, radiance was giving out the light from a heart filled with love, while the faint radiant light ignited other hearts that were filled with love. The countless points of radiant light emitted from each heart full of love would fuse together to form a belief. The power contained in these beliefs was enough to light up the dome and bring down the radiant light of miracles.

At that moment, Lin Yuan's duel record had become:

Duels: 24, Wins: 24, Losses: 0, Highest Floor: 24.

After the battle, Lin Yuan could not help but criticize, How is this being blown into fireworks? Isn't this being incinerated without even ashes left?

He has gone through 1,557 rounds at such a young age. Oh, that's not right. It'll be 1,558 after losing this round.

How exactly did Wang Shuai do in those duels?

Is he an internet-addicted teenager?

Young people nowadays need to protect their livers!

Chapter 185: Shooting Up to the First Place Out of Nowhere

Lin Yuan matched all the way on Star Web without stopping until his total duels were 50.

In almost every duel before the 50th floor, Chimey would only let out a clear chirp and use Sound Thrust to end the battle easily. After these dozens of battles, Lin Yuan found that most Bronze feys he was matched with were Normal and Elite. He still had yet to see a Bronze/Flawless fey in the first 50 floors.

In the first 50 floors, he had only encountered eight Silver feys, five of which were Normal, and three were Elite.

Lin Yuan felt that his concept of the feys' quality of the Radiance Federation's spirit qi professionals had changed somewhat compared to before. Nêww 𝒄hapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(𝒆)

Since he could easily evolve Bronze and Silver feys' quality, it was an effortless thing for him. In fact, most of the Class 2 Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation could enhance Bronze feys into Elite, but it was hard to enhance them into Flawless.

Enhancing a Bronze fey from Flawless to Epic would require at least a Class 4 Creation Master. For ordinary Creation Masters, the higher the feys' grade, the easier it would be to enhance them.

They would use all sorts of spiritual ingredients to concoct a spirit fluid with medicinal properties to stimulate the fey's potential. The higher the fey's grade, the stronger its body's potential, and the easier it would be stimulated.

However, the way Lin Yuan enhanced feys was to channel a tremendous amount of pure spirit qi into the fey's body to optimize the genetic model and enhance the low-grade fey's foundation. Thus, for the other Creation Masters, the higher a fey's grade, the easier it would be to enhance it. On the contrary, it was easier for Lin Yuan to enhance feys of lower grades.

As such, Lin Yuan's thinking gradually changed. While he was climbing the Star Tower, his thoughts had returned to the Radiance Federation's normal standard.

Because he had been matched with those combat-class spirit qi professionals, Bronze and Silver feys of Normal or Elite were the norm for the spirit qi professionals.

This made Lin Yuan could not help but feel a little ashamed. Even though he had lived two lives, he had made a mistake that people would often make.

He was always subjective. If he had a wider scope, he would inevitably look at things differently.

Lin Yuan could not help but nod in satisfaction at this record of a 100% winning rate for 50 duels. Then he logged off the Star Web. However, he did not know that many disputes had emerged after he had climbed the Star Tower and had rounds of duels.

First of all, Black's fan club and forums were in an uproar. After Wang Shuai had met Lin Yuan in the Star Tower, he had downloaded the video of their battle and posted it in the forum and fan club.

There were many people in Black's fan club and forum. Except for the people who had fought alongside Lin Yuan in Millstone Town, those who came to become fans felt that Black seemed less real while they worshiped his deeds and his Silver Fantasy Breed fey that could grow back limbs, as Black had never revealed his face. This inevitably made these admiring fans feel they had no backbone.

However, things were different now as Black had truly appeared on Star Web and climbed the Star Tower.

Wang Shuai had originally joined Black's official fan club, and the owner of it was none other than the healing-type spirit qi professional with the Bronze Spitting Turtledove, Liu Lang.

Due to Liu Lang's name on Star Web being Ancestor Peace, many people called him 'Ancestor Peace Berserker'. In the forum and fan club, whenever he found any outrageous keyboard warriors, he would give them a taste of their medicine and eliminate all of them.

After Wang Shuai posted the video, Liu Lang immediately recognized that he had fought against Black. This was because Lin Yuan's aura when he had been fighting in Millstone Town had been deeply engraved in Liu Lang's mind.

Wang Shuai's video gave him small fame in the fan club, so Liu Lang promoted Wang Shuai into the official fan club administrator.

Soon, the news of Black climbing the Star Tower spread via postings and the fan club. But at the same time, there was a sudden change in the Star Tower's streak list. A name that had never appeared on the streak list before appeared at the top. It was none other than Black.

With a winning streak of 50 duels, he was ahead of the second place, who only had a winning streak of over 11.

The streak list was just a small list that got little attention among the Star Tower's many lists.

However, someone had shot up to the first place, and his name was very special. He was the Radiance Federation's young hero who had a Silver Fantasy Breed fey.

At first, many people thought that it was the same name, but after Liu Lang's verification in Black's fan club and forum, Black's identity was determined.

Of course, some were doubtful, but few of them dared to publicly question in Black's forum and fan club for their own sake. Otherwise, if they did so and Ancestor Peace Berserker hit with a heavy fist, how would they even survive?

Soon, people quickly dug out Black's duel record. He had an astounding 100% winning rate in 50 consecutive duels. Star Web's matching was very fair.

Black's identity received endless attention overnight, which Lin Yuan, who had logged off the Star Web, was unaware of.

In these few days, besides climbing the Star Tower, he would spend most of his time enhancing batches of Usneas that were not even at Normal to Silver/Elite in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Every time he enhanced a pot of Usnea into Silver, Lin Yuan could vaguely sense the spirit qi within his body increasing slightly. However, this subtle increase was simply not obvious enough.

Since Lin Yuan would climb the Star Tower daily whenever he had nothing to do, he had climbed to the 74th floor so far. It might be due to his luck that when he reached the 74th floor, he encountered a Gold fey. However, he could not help but smack his lips upon seeing it. This Gold fey seemed a bit strong.

Chapter 186: The Bloody Flowers in the Sea of Flowers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan had just been matched with an opponent on the 74th floor that summoned two tiger feys. One of them was a Gold fey based on its aura, while the other one was a Silver X fey that was about to reach Gold.

Lin Yuan did not take this Silver X/Elite Steel Tooth Tiger seriously, but the purple plasma condensed on the other Gold tiger fey's surface, full of the aura of destruction.

He used Morbius' True Data to check it.

[Fey Name]: Golden Forehead Lightning Tiger

[Fey Species]: Toothed Feline/Tiger

[Fey Grade]: Gold (4/10)

[Fey Type]: Lightning

[Fey Quality]: Flawless

Abilities:

[Claw Attack]: Quickly leap forward and use both claws to deal tearing damage.

[Lightning Arc Entwinement]: Can condense a lightning arc on a part of the body for defense or attack.

[Thunder Teeth Cut]: Gather thunder from thunder teeth and deal high-voltage single-target damage.

[Lightning Roar Magnetic Shock]: Condense a huge amount of lightning elements in the air through the tiger's roar and change its magnetic field to repel a huge amount of lightning arcs in all directions, causing lighting damage and tremor damage.

Exclusive Skill:

[Overloaded Lightning Arc]: The condensed arc reaches overload mode and would explode twice when it comes in contact with bioelectricity.

This Gold tiger fey made Lin Yuan frown secretly. Its comprehended skills were not considered powerful, and the Thunder Tooth Cut was a relatively poor ability that it could comprehend at Gold. It was just a kind of single-target ability without any highlights, but this Golden Forehead Lightning Tiger's exclusive skill was simply too outstanding.

Overload Lightning Arc gave the mediocre Thunder Tooth Cut a chance to cause secondary damage and allowed the Lightning Roar Magnetic Shock to deal double damage.

Lin Yuan summoned Chimey and Red Thorn. When Chimey was summoned and sensed the Silver X/Elite Steel Tooth Tiger and Gold IV/Flawless Golden Forehead Lightning Tiger, a stronger battle intent arose in it.

He had allowed Chimey to fight in the Star Tower battles for the past few days. Although the previous duels had been carried out with little suspense, it had also allowed Chimey to cultivate its battle aura.

It was his first time summoning Red Thorn in the Star Web duel. When Red Thorn was summoned, it thrust its thick roots straight into the ground and spread out its sharp vines to protect Lin Yuan. The thornless vine that Red Thorn had purposely evolved wrapped around his wrist obediently and affectionately.

After Lin Yuan summoned his feys, his opponent mumbled to the air, "Brothers, I've met another guy with a silver mask in my matchup. It'll be exactly the tenth one with a silver mask that I kill in the past two months."

Lin Yuan raised his brows. This fellow was quite wild!

Lin Yuan already knew what his opponent was doing. He should be a live-streamer.

Lin Yuan had encountered a nerd who was talking to himself in the air after the 60th floor. At first, he had thought it was a mental patient. But then, he had found out that this nerd kept talking about the situation and was not fighting, yet he had assessed that Lin Yuan had summoned Chimey.

He had created various theories, just like an outstanding teacher, and an eloquent King that commented on national affairs.

When they had fought, Chimey had used the Gold Sunlight Rays, Scattered Light, as well as the Sound Thrust to kill them.

Liu Jie had explained this while they were eating. Only then did Lin Yuan learn that the person he had always considered as a mental patient was actually a Star Web live-streamer. This man before Lin Yuan's eyes was the same as the nerd after the 60th floor. He seemed to be a live-streamer as well.

His opponent was currently leaning on the Gold IV/Flawless Golden Forehead Lightning Tiger, making heart gestures and sending flying kisses toward the air. Lin Yuan could not help but feel a chill, as this fellow opposite him was simply too feminine.

This kind of femininity differed from a woman's gentle beauty. Rather, it was a bit like a chicken that had fallen into the dough jar.

After listening to Liu Jie's explanation, Lin Yuan also learned that it was hard to be a live-streamer in the Star Web duel.

One had to first have a live-streamer qualification to become one in the Star Web duel. The live-streamer test was very harsh, unlike those singing live-streamers who could just live-stream with a click.

After passing the test, one's battle footage would be recorded in a third-person perspective and played in the live-streaming room. The viewers could comment and discuss the duel situation in the live-streaming room.

However, the battling live-streamer could not see it. They could only wait until the duel ended before they exited the Star Web duel and returned to the live-streaming room to see the comments.

At that moment, the feminine fellow leaning on the Gold Forehead Lightning Tiger suddenly stood up and gave charming gazes at the air, danced street dance, and sang rap. He imagined that the comments in his live-streaming room should be about him being handsome and protecting the best live-streamer.

As he thought about it, he smiled more brightly and street-danced more vigorously. He also rapped even faster. However, the feminine fellow did not know that his live-streaming room was already in an uproar when Lin Yuan summoned Chimey.

The moment Lin Yuan summoned Red Thorn, the live-streaming room's comments completely blocked the singing feminine fellow. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

Lin Yuan felt everything before him was simply an eyesore. In fact, while both of them summoned their feys, the battle had already begun.

Lin Yuan originally did not plan to use the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. He wanted to hone Chimey's combat skills through this Gold IV/Flawless Golden Forehead Lightning Tiger. He wanted to see if Chimey, a Silver I/Fantasy Breed fey, could stand a 50/50 chance against this Gold fey.

But now, Lin Yuan looked at the unmotivated fellow man opposite him and felt that it was clearly not an excellent opportunity to hone Chimey's combat skills.

The feminine man suddenly stopped singing and dancing but was still rapping. "Yo! Yo! Check it out! I've finally fallen from the 90th floor to the 74th floor! It's tough! Now, I'll let you guys see how I beat this noob at the speed of light!"

Lin Yuan could no longer listen to it and said, "Red Thorn, lay out the sea of flowers."

Red Thorn's spore cavity shook. It actually did not spew out many spores, but a thin layer of spores still spread out at the venue. Then, it produced child ramets from the spores, changing the battle environment. The vines in the sea of flowers were sharp, and the rose-like flowers on the corrosive cavity were unusually bright.

The Golden Forehead Lightning Tiger and Steel Tooth Tiger found this sudden sea of flowers very novel. They stepped on the child ramets willfully, clearly playing.

When Lin Yuan looked at the feminine fellow who was still speaking indecent words to the air and the two tiger feys that had no intention of fighting, he could not help but shake his head. As a combat-class spirit qi professional, he should face a duel seriously, even if he was not giving it his all.

However, this feminine man had been corrupted by some other things. Since the other side had no intention to fight, Lin Yuan also wanted to quickly end this duel so that he could match with another opponent to hone Chimey's combat skills.

Lin Yuan said softly, "Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, end the battle."

At that moment, the feminine man was still saying to the air, "The other side is also thoughtful and actually using his most skilled move. Is he trying to extol my beauty in this trashy sea of flowers?"

The comments in the feminine man's live-streaming room were not as crazy as when Lin Yuan had summoned Red Thorn. Although there were still many comments, there were fewer than before. At the very least, they could now see the scene of the feminine man dueling.

At that moment, all the viewers' eyes shrunk, as something had pierced through the two tiger feys' heads, creating beautiful bloody flowers with the tigers' roars as they bloomed in the sea of flowers.

This bizarre and beautiful scene gave the viewers in the feminine man's live-streaming room goosebumps, and they could not help but blurt out, "Black, so awesome!"

Chapter 187: Aggrieved Fang Duoduo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If the feminine man looked at the comments in his live-streaming room, he would realize that the moment the two bloody flowers had bloomed, the comments had vanished for a few seconds and instantly flooded the screen and turned it white. These comments were no longer indistinguishable.

When the feminine man saw them, he would notice that even though it was clearly his live-streaming room, none of the comments mentioned himself.

The two bewitching bloody flowers only bloomed for a moment. As soon as the warmth in the blood dissipated, it withered among the rose-like flowers and the vines with sharp thorns, leaving nothing.

Despite only existing for a brief moment, the two bloody flowers had the most shocking visual impact on the feminine man and the viewers in his live-streaming room.

The blooming flowers had vanished, and the two bloody flowers withered instantly, proclaiming Lin Yuan's victory on the 74th floor of the Star Tower.

Lin Yuan continued to match with an opponent after his victory. When he reached the 80th floor, the strongest he had ever encountered was still the feminine man who had been stroking his hair coquettishly with no intentions of fighting.

After that, the only strong one he encountered was a combat-class spirit qi professional with a Gold III/Elite Coldwater Snapping Turtle.

However, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly's Silence Scale Powder restrained it a lot in the duel. When the Silence Scale Powder landed on the Coldwater Snapping Turtle, it had isolated its ability to use the water element, which was akin to nullifying its attacking means.

The Coldwater Snapping Turtle's evolution path was more inclined toward spiritual mutation, and it made use of the water element to cause damage.

If an ordinary Bronze X/Legend Blue Flash Butterfly released the Silence Scale Powder, it would certainly not cause such a strong Silence effect on the Coldwater Snapping Turtle under normal circumstances.

However, Lin Yuan had used the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly's scale powder with strong adhesion, making the Coldwater Snapping Turtle very passive.

It was the only fey that the combat-class spirit qi professional had. Evidently, he had invested all the resources in this Gold III/Elite Coldwater Snapping Turtle. Otherwise, if he had another fey, he could also let it release some abilities to help the Coldwater Snapping Turtle get rid of the Silence Scale Powder. Things would not have been as passive as it was now.

The Coldwater Snapping Turtle had a layer of mucus on its shell surface that made the Silence Scale Powder firmly attached to its body. Although the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly's grade was not as high as the Coldwater Snapping Turtle, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly simply restrained the Coldwater Snapping Turtle based on its abilities and exclusive skills.

Lin Yuan did not use the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee or Red Thorn for this duel. He only used Chimey and the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly to end the duel. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

Chimey's Scattered Light landed on the Coldwater Snapping Turtle, making its wet body surface dry and cracked with its burning ability, causing it to form a layer of blisters from the burn. When the blisters burst, the liquid flowing out adsorbed the Silence Scale Powder, leaving the Coldwater Snapping Turtle no resistance.

At that moment, the Sunlight Rays gave multiple negative effects to the Coldwater Snapping Turtle in its weakened state.

Lin Yuan found that the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly's Scale Powder Halo could be used with Chimey's Sunlight Rays. The reflective scale powder could reflect the Sunlight Rays. The light would produce a strong blinding effect at a certain level, causing temporary blindness after piercing the Coldwater Snapping Turtle's eyes.

With Chimey's soft chirp, three Sound Thrusts penetrated the Coldwater Snapping Turtle that was struggling and roaring due to the severe pain. The Sound Thrusts impacted the Coldwater Snapping Turtle's upper jaw.

Since the Sound Thrusts hit the same point on the upper jaw one after another, no matter how hard the Coldwater Snapping Turtle's jaw was, a small hole was blown. The tremor that occurred when the high-frequency Sound Thrust penetrated the jawbone damaged its brain tissues.

In this duel, Lin Yuan realized that Chimey had overwhelming destructive power after becoming a Silver Fantasy Breed. He still remembered that when Chimey was at Normal, its Sound Thrust could only leave faint marks on the wooden boards. But now, it could cause fatal damage to a Gold fey, provided that it attacked the target's weak spot and when the opponent was defenseless.

As a Gold turtle fey, the Coldwater Snapping Turtle had an outstanding defense, which was based on the premise of being able to control the water element. The majestic water element would form a layer of fast-flowing water on the Coldwater Snapping Turtle's surface.

This fast-flowing water layer was the Gold III/Elite Coldwater Snapping Turtle's most powerful means of defense. But right now, Lin Yuan's Blue Flash Purple Butterfly had gained the upper hand with its Silence Scale Powder.

Under the premise that the spirit qi professional did not have a second fey to help the Coldwater Snapping Turtle, it became a lamb to be slaughtered.

After Lin Yuan won the 80th battle in the Star Tower, he felt a little tired and left Star Web. He went to enhance pots of Usnea to slowly increase the spiritual power in his body.

Lin Yuan did not know what had happened in the feminine man's live-streaming room, nor that 'Black' was trending on the Star Tower's streak list.

Today, he had broken the record on the streak list and reached 80 consecutive wins, which had caused an uproar in Star Web. Many mainstream media on Star Web also started to send out notices to report this matter.

...

A competent man was sitting with a frown and flipping through a stack of information in a conference room that was decorated very simply but with extraordinary arrangements. At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and he put down the stack in his hand before saying, "Come in."

A bowl-cut youth opened the door and revealed his head. He looked inside, walked in, and pulled a chair to sit down before he said, "Boss, is our main team still short of a healing-type spirit qi professional?"

Upon hearing that, the competent man could not help but playfully answer, "You usually are the idlest, yet you still have a recommended candidate? The S Tournament is going to start soon. Hurry and catch up on your training. I'll help you make an appointment with the Creation Master to enhance your fourth fey's quality."

When the bowl-cut youth heard that, he immediately shouted joyfully, "Long live, Boss!"

After being elated, he coughed a little suspiciously and said, "Boss, our Dragon Gate Guild Club is an A-level guild club. We don't have to go through the elimination rounds. We can just do the group matches. It's still three months of preparation time."

He then realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he secretly glanced at the competent man sitting down. He noticed that the competent man took out a pen and crossed out things on the information stack.

The bowl-cut youth went forward and said, "Boss, I've really found a particularly strong healing-type spirit qi professional!"

The man sitting looked up and asked, "What kind of person? Bring his information over."

The bowl-cut youth scratched his head. "I didn't prepare his information, but I think the Star Web should have his information."

The competent man sitting down knew that this bowl-cut youth would not have prepared the information. As soon as he heard this person was from Star Web, he took out his Star Web Card, ready to enter Star Web, and asked, "How far has he gone on the Celestial Stairway?"

The bowl-cut youth blinked and replied, "He hasn't reached the Celestial Stairway yet. He's on the 80th floor."

Upon hearing that, the competent man put down the Star Web Card in his hand and chased him away angrily. "Fang Duoduo, hurry up and get out to train! You also know that our Dragon Gate Guild Club is an A-level guild club. By finding someone who has reached the 80th floor of the Star Tower, are you trying to fight 4 vs. 6 during the group match and let us become a B-level guild club?"

Fang Duoduo was a little aggrieved. "That healing-type spirit qi professional who reached the 80th floor is very popular on Star Web. He has won 80 consecutive—"

Before Fang Duoduo could finish, the competent man chased him out. "Hurry up and go train!"

Fang Duoduo was thrown out, and he felt aggrieved as he muttered, "I was just trying to help. Long Tao, since you find me troublesome, then go find one yourself!" He then hummed a song and walked toward the training room.

Chapter 188: White Jade Snow Orchid

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Fiind upd𝒂ted 𝒏ovels on n𝒐 /m

Lin Yuan was enhancing a plant fey he had found in the wild. It seemed like a weed with no characteristics. It had three long, slender leaves with thick leaf blades.

Although this weed seemed like nothing special, it seemed to exude a different kind of formidable aura.

As Lin Yuan was injecting spirit qi into it, the ordinary weed was constantly changing. After a few hours, its leaves became longer and drooped downward, with a unique texture.

When a bunch of plain white flowers that grew straight out of the leaves bloomed, it immediately emanated a beautiful and refreshing fragrance, causing the room to instantly turn cooler.

This lush fragrance was not sweet and delicate at all, but an elegant fragrance. When one touched this orchid, it was as though one's heart calmed down.

The reserved fragrance no longer spread out, but it was exceptionally deep, as though it contained the season and climate.

Lin Yuan stopped channeling his spiritual power, and when he looked at the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid before him, he could not help but nod in satisfaction.

The fey that he had picked up and looked like a weed was actually an orchid.

At first, Lin Yuan felt that orchids were considered relatively rare feys, so he had picked it. However, he did not expect that he would nurture this orchid into a White Jade Snow Orchid.

The orchids in the world generally looked the same before they bloomed. Only when they bloomed could their value be specifically distinguished.

Plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums had always been the four most elegant plants. Although this White Jade Snow Orchid was not the most top-notch orchid, it was a fine fey that others could not ask for.

Just as Lin Yuan stretched his body and was about to take a closer look at the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid, there were two soft knocks on the door, and he heard Wen Yu's voice coming from outside. "Young Master, lunch is ready. It's time to eat."

Lin Yuan walked out of his room with the pot of White Jade Snow Orchid in his hands. When Wen Yu saw him come out, she was stunned.

It was said that a gentleman was like an orchid, but when Lin Yuan came out holding the orchid, Wen Yu suddenly had a feeling that an orchid was not as good as a gentleman. Perhaps it was because this young man's aura was too outstanding that he suppressed the orchid's aura.

When she examined the pot of orchid in Lin Yuan's hand, she was astonished. She was also a Creation Master, so she had recognized at a glance that the orchid in his hands was an Epic White Jade Snow Orchid.

Of course, this was not what shocked her the most because she had seen many orchid feys and Epic feys. However, this Bronze/Epic fey was extremely rare, especially since it was an orchid fey.

Just like in the Radiant Moon Palace, the reward for the top spirit attendant every year was only a Bronze/Epic fey.

Wen Yu thought little of the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid, as she had never expected Lin Yuan to nurture it. Instead, she thought that the Moon Empress might have gifted it to him.

Just as she was thinking this way, Lin Yuan said, "Come back to your senses!"

Wen Yu returned to her senses and found Lin Yuan looking at her, so she hurriedly replied, "Young Master, Big Brother Liu made lunch today. I'll help you take this White Jade Snow Orchid."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan handed it over to her and said, "Big Brother Liu's cooking talent is definitely excellent."

Lin Yuan had been skeptical when Liu Jie had previously said that he could cook. Based on Liu Jie's honest face, Lin Yuan really did not think that he looked like someone who could cook.

After Liu Jie had made a meal, he had conquered Lin Yuan's and Wen Yu's stomachs and made them become foodies, causing them to wait for him to cook every day. It was not because the two of them could not cook. Rather, it was because Liu Jie's cooking was simply too delicious.

Even though Lin Yuan had eaten the Spirit Food Pavilion's chef's dishes, they were not as good as the ones Liu Jie made.

Wen Yu carefully took the White Jade Snow Orchid from Lin Yuan and asked, "Young Master, where do I put this White Jade Snow Orchid?"

Lin Yuan answered, "Didn't Big Brother Liu say last time that the spiritual ingredients are not fresh the next day, even after putting them in the refrigerator? Put this White Jade Snow Orchid next to those spiritual ingredients in the kitchen. It will solve his problems."

Wen Yu was listening carefully, but when Lin Yuan told her to put it in the kitchen to keep the ingredients fresh, she opened her mouth wide. Her cherry-like mouth opened as wide as a hippopotamus's mouth, so wide that even a pineapple could fit inside.

Fortunately, her hands were stable. Otherwise, this Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid would have dropped on the ground.

Although the White Jade Snow Orchid was not considered the best among the orchid feys, it could be called a top-notch one.

The White Jade Snow Orchid was a support-type fey. When it was placed indoors, it could lower the temperature to a soothing but not too cold state due to its properties. Its fragrance could also promote plant growth.

It was pretty useful to Creation Masters. If a Creation Master contracted a White Jade Snow Orchid, it could play a supporting role when nurturing plant-type feys.

Thus, placing such a good thing in the kitchen and using its aroma and cooling effect to keep the spiritual ingredients fresh was unheard of. It was simply a low-key luxury.

When Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu with her mouth wide open, he could not help but say, "If you're hungry, I'll see if I can help Big Brother Liu with anything so that we can serve quickly." Then he walked to the kitchen.

Wen Yu could not help but criticize, Young Master is really a guy who fails to understand women.

Before Lin Yuan walked to the kitchen, Liu Jie came out with the dishes. There were four dishes for the three of them—Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, squirrel fish1, and cumin meat slices. These four were all meat dishes, as Liu Jie had figured out what Lin Yuan and Wen Yu loved to eat. They all had similar tastes and were pure carnivores.

After Liu Jie placed the dishes on the table, Wen Yu slowly came out of the kitchen and said, "Young Master, Big Brother Liu, the kitchen is going to become the most fragrant place in this manor."

Liu Jie did not understand what she meant and thought that she was praising him.

However, Lin Yuan could not help but raise his brows. Although the White Jade Snow Orchid had a clear and aromatic fragrance, he still preferred the agarwood smell.

The White Jade Snow Orchid was not as calming as the agarwood. The White Jade Snow Orchid's fragrance would stay on the clothes and leave traces, but the agarwood's fragrance would refresh the mind, calm the mind, and only stay on the sleeves.

After the meal, Wen Yu and Lin Yuan praised Liu Jie, making him giggle on his firm and honest face.

Liu Jie could not help but think, When I was in the team with Bai Hao and Wang Fan, why didn't they praise me when they ate my cooking? Such ingrates!

Chapter 189: An Undesirable Man

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jie's contracted source-type Insect Queen had long since been healed. It was no longer in imminent danger, and it had even evolved into a Fantasy Breed.

Not long ago, Liu Jie had gone to find Bai Hao and Wang Fan with a very simple goal. He wanted to apologize.

Liu Jie had been discouraged and become an ordinary person, so he naturally had not wanted to contact his former friends again. He had thought that he would just be giving them more trouble.

At that time, he had become a useless person, and his only fey, the Insect Queen, had been his only reliance. When the Insect Queen's roots had been damaged, Liu Jie had been ready to cut off all ties and become an ordinary person.

Although he was doing well now, he recalled that Bai Hao and Wang Fan had always been searching and missing him for two years. He felt touched yet apologetic.

When he had met Bai Hao the other time, although Bai Hao's words had made him angry, he did not take it to heart. This was because Liu Jie knew Bai Hao very well. He was a softie at heart.

Because of mutual understanding, the three of them had become the Radiance Hundred Sequence's members and would form a three-member team when they went out to do their missions. Men's friendship was actually just like that, sincere and simple.

After the meal and drinking a few cups of wine, Bai Hao and Wang Fan had gotten closure. They had been concerned about Liu Jie's past experience and missed him dearly.

For Liu Jie, his strength had returned, and he had become even more powerful. He was back on good terms with his old friends and also had the faith of this young man in front of him.

One would really feel good during a happy occasion!

Liu Jie had never felt how good life was, even when he was still at the top, but after he had fallen into the dust, his perception of life had changed. He felt happy at every bit of the present and interacting with the people close to him.

However, he was caught between laughter and tears when Wang Fan sent a message to the group. Only then did Liu Jie learn that Bai Hao and Wang Fan had pooled their money. They wanted to see if they could treat his Insect Queen's injuries. After knowing that it had been healed, Bai Hao gave Wang Fan's share back to him but rewarded all of his money to a live-streamer on Star Web called the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess.

He had given tens of millions of Radiance dollars, causing Bai Hao, who had been the second top contributing fan for two months, to shoot up to the first place. Not only had he reclaimed his position, but he was also worlds apart from second place.

However, Bai Hao was stifled as no matter how hard he had sent gifts like a bootlicker, the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had never thanked him. At that moment, he posted something in the group.

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess's Little Fanboy: "Liu Jie, Wang Fan, come out and go on a mission with me to earn money!"

Wang Fan: "When did you start to want to do the missions so much? You used to refuse even when I asked you."

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess's Little Fanboy: "I don't have enough money to give gifts to the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess! I plan to reward 99.9% of the money I earn from doing missions to the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess! I'll just eat two steamed buns every day."

Liu Jie: "?"

Wang Fan: "?"

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess's Little Fanboy: "Are you two coming or not? If not, I'll go alone!"

Liu Jie: "Not going!"

Wang Fan: "Not going!"

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess's Little Fanboy: "You singles don't understand the happiness of chasing stars."

Liu Jie could not help but reveal a pretty boy's puzzled expression on his honest face.

Bai Hao made it seem as though he was not single. Based on his attitude, he wanted to date online and meet them in real life!

After putting down his cell phone, Liu Jie suddenly recalled something and said to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, several king-class experts will jointly hold a private auction in the Royal Capital. Are you interested?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Have they revealed beforehand what things they're going to auction?"

For Lin Yuan, going to your general auction was just purely to watch the fun. It was not that he could not afford them, but most of the things were useless to him.

He would need some spiritual ingredients to enhance feys from Epic to Legend. But in other cases, he did not need the spiritual ingredients to assist him in enhancing feys. As for high-grade feys, he could just evolve them into anything he wanted with time.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Liu Jie answered, "I heard that source-type lifeforms will appear at this auction."

Lin Yuan could not help but ask, "Source-type lifeforms?"

He did not expect someone would auction their source-type lifeforms. If it was a source-type lifeform, Lin Yuan could not help but have some interest.

Source-type lifeforms were strange in their contract and did not necessarily need spiritual energy. Each of them had unique abilities that would be excellent if used properly.

Therefore, if he could encounter a suitable source-type lifeform, Lin Yuan did not mind buying and nurturing it.

For example, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. It had greatly enhanced Lin Yuan's combat ability, and it could be said to be his strongest means of attack at present.

Without the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, given his current standard, he was not confident in saying that he could certainly win the promotion duels and ascend to the Celestial Stairway.

Even though Chimey's Radiant Body could surpass the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's strength in a split second with a burst of power, it was only for that moment.

If it met a Gold defense-type fey and was restrained by it, when Chimey depleted all its energy, Lin Yuan would likely be the one losing the duel. Fiind upd𝒂ted 𝒏ovels on n𝒐 /m

Thus, he was hell-bent on finding a way to buy a suitable source-type lifeform. Moreover, he did not lack resources for nurturing feys or source-type lifeforms.

Unlike other spirit qi professionals, he did not need to worry about resources and focus his resources toward only one of the feys.

"That king-class expert squad is very famous in the Guild Alliance. I heard that they had destroyed several dimensional rifts. There should at least be one source-type item in this auction, but I don't think there'll be over two."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan replied, "What are the admission requirements for this private auction?"

When Liu Jie noticed Lin Yuan had the intention to go, he answered, "Leave the admission requirements to me. I'll get three tickets at that time."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble you then, Big Brother Liu."

Wen Yu was also thrilled, as she usually had little chance to go down the mountains back then at the Radiant Moon Palace. Thus, she naturally wanted to go to such a lively place.

Even though she had been calling Lin Yuan as 'Young Master' and was clearly a subordinate, Liu Jie had never ignored her. As a result, she had slowly started to acknowledge him.

After the meal, Wen Yu took up the duty of cleaning the dishes.

Liu Jie was just about to freeze the prepared spiritual ingredients that were hard to store when he saw a pot of elegant orchid on the shelf where the various spiritual ingredients were placed.

As a Radiance Hundred Sequence member, he naturally knew what it was. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise after observing it, "F*ck! This is actually a Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid! Why put such a good thing in the kitchen?"

While Wen Yu washed the dishes, she calmly answered, "Young Master gave it to you to help keep the spiritual ingredients fresh."

Indeed, Wen Yu also saw Liu Jie open his mouth wide with a dazed expression. She imitated what Lin Yuan had said earlier. "Big Brother Liu, are you hungry?"

Liu Jie came back to his senses, and when he heard Wen Yu's words, he scratched the back of his head and asked, "Didn't I just finish eating? I ate three bowls of rice, so how could I be hungry?"

Upon hearing that, Wen Yu could not help but criticize, Come on! Not another guy who fails to understand women!

Liu Jie asked, "Wen Yu, did you not eat enough just now?"

Wen Yu lowered her head and replied, "I'm definitely full from two bowls of rice!"

Then, Liu Jie looked at her and said in surprise, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat from eating two bowls of rice!?"

Wen Yu suddenly felt that Liu Jie was not only someone who failed to understand women but also an undesirable man.

Chapter 190: Black's Terrifying Talent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During the past few days, Lin Yuan had been climbing the Star Tower. He had already fought from the 80th floor to the 100th floor, and if he went any further, he would take part in the promotion duel.

When climbing from the 80th floor to the 100th floor, all of Lin Yuan's opponents possessed Gold feys. After the 90th floor, Lin Yuan had encountered plenty of spirit qi professionals that possessed two Gold feys. However, the grade of the Gold feys wasn't considered high.

Nonetheless, when Lin Yuan used the Gold/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, these duels weren't that difficult to win. In fact, even though Chimey had become a Fantasy Breed and obtained the new exclusive skill Radiant Body, Lin Yuan hadn't used it until now.

During the climb from the 80th floor to the 100th floor, the strongest Gold fey Lin Yuan had encountered was only a Gold VII/Flawless fey. The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's grade might be Gold I, but its quality was Legend.

The Gold I/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's actual strength was actually superior to Gold VII/Flawless feys. Furthermore, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was an assassin that hid in the sea of flowers, allowing it to land sneak attacks.

Lin Yuan had also encountered a spirit qi professional that had been live-streaming when fighting in the Star Tower. The live streamer had been none other than the spirit qi professional that possessed the Gold VII/Flawless fey. Therefore, it was also the first time Lin Yuan's Acid Corrosion Queen Bee appeared in the Star Web netizens' eyes.

This had also solved the mystery as to how Lin Yuan had instantly killed that feminine man's two feys. The case of the two blood flowers that had blossomed in the sea of flowers had finally been cracked.

On the Star Web, Lin Yuan's popularity was simply through the roof. At the same time, some questions were brought up in the Star Web.

Isn't Black a healing-type spirit qi professional?

Why haven't we seen Black using a healing-type fey?

When in combat, he actually became a combat-class spirit qi professional?

Had it not been for Red Thorn's appearance that had immediately proved Black's identity, even if Black's fans and fan leader Liu Lang insisted, not many would believe that Lin Yuan was Black.

That was because Lin Yuan had never used any healing-type fey. He had been using combat-class feys to climb the tower, so everyone found the same problem—Lin Yuan's talent.

A spirit qi professional's talent was always viewed with different levels.

Most of the spirit qi professionals would be compatible with one species and one type of fey, like defense-type/beetle-species feys. Of course, there was also a difference in strength. For example, if a spirit qi professional was compatible with power offense-type/tiger-species feys, while the other was compatible with power offense-type/goat-species feys. The strength difference would be easier to differentiate.

Tiger-species feys did have stronger combat strength than goat-species feys when at the same grade. The law of nature determined such superiority. In the natural world, tigers would definitely eat goats.

Of course, such superiority would only exist when the grade was equivalent. However, not all tiger-species feys were able to defeat goat-species feys of the same grade. There were also some rare feys among the goat-species feys,

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope that Lin Yuan had nurtured was such an example. It was able to fly with the use of wind elements, making it extremely fast. Therefore, regular tiger-species feys might not be able to defeat the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope.

However, ordinary folks with a poor family background who were compatible with power offense-type/tiger-species feys might wish that they were compatible with power offense-type/goat-species feys. Tiger-species feys weren't as common, and if one wasn't from a prestigious family, they wouldn't be able to afford a tiger-species fey. In addition, when evolving tiger-species feys, more precious spiritual ingredients were required.

For people like Chu Ci, who was compatible with all defense-type feys, her talent was considered top-notch in the entire Radiance Federation. As a defense-type spirit qi professional, Chu Ci wouldn't be restricted by her talent when choosing defense-type feys and could choose them freely according to her desired combination. This way, it would allow her contracted feys to form a flawless combat style that was suitable for her.

When combat-class spirit qi professionals dueled, the fey's individual strength was one factor. When fighting against a lower-ranked opponent, one could use the difference in grade to suppress the opponent and win. But when fighting against an evenly matched opponent, the combination and coordination of the feys would be the crucial factor.

Black had far too many combinations when using feys in combat, and there wasn't a regular rhythm. Thus, the people on Star Web had started guessing Black's talent.

No matter how they discussed it, they couldn't find a definite answer. They were plenty of low-ranked Scholars and Fey Observers that conducted an analysis of feys Black had used in duels. They then published their own articles based on their opinions.

Unexpectedly, when they published their articles, Star Web's netizens flamed those Scholars and Fey Observers. Based on Black's summoned feys, apart from defense-type feys, he had already used almost every other type of feys.

In fact, people were speculating about Lin Yuan like this largely because of Chimey. Back when Lin Yuan had contracted Chimey, it had been a Sound Bird that couldn't even be considered a fey and naturally didn't have any types.

Chimey was like the Usneas, which were also a kind of production-type fey without any combat-class types. But when Lin Yuan had evolved Chimey, its combat-class capability had awakened.

The matter about Black's talent was in constant debate, and ultimately, a Class 4 Scholar published an article based on Black's talent.

A Class 4 Scholar was already considered the pinnacle of the Radiance Federation's knowledge world. Thus, when this Class 4 Scholar published this article about Lin Yuan's talent, this guessing game came to an end.

The Class 4 Scholar's article might have calmed down the commotion, but it made everyone feel more terrified of Black's talent, or it should be his wealth.

That Class 4 Scholar gave a final verdict by using the appearance of different feys during the Star Tower's duels. The quality of Black's feys should be extremely high, and source-type lifeforms were also in his arsenal. The Class 4 Scholar also stated that Black would still be the Radiance Federation's top prodigy, even if the source-type lifeforms were out of the picture.

Finally, the Class 4 Scholar teased a little in his conclusion, guessing that Black's feys were all source-type lifeforms.

Of course, everyone treated that part as a joke. Putting aside the rarity of source-type lifeforms, the harsh requirements to form the contract would already cause plenty of people to get stuck.

However, the fact that Black possessed source-type lifeforms was basically the Class 4 Scholar's inarguable verdict.

Now that Lin Yuan was at the Star Tower's 100th floor, he would need to fight in the promotion duel if he continued fighting the duels. He was already rather tired now, so he wasn't in a hurry to fight in the promotion duel. Instead, he opened up his personal information card.

Name: Black

Gender: Male

Height: 178cm

Weight: 61kg

Star Tower Floor: 100th Floor

Spirit Qi Occupation: Healing-Type Professional

Occupation Rank: C-Rank

Contracted Feys:

Morbius (Bronze X/Legend) Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

Thousand Questions Beast (Bronze I/Legend)

Twilight Starbird (Silver I/Fantasy I)

Red Thorn (Bronze V/Epic)

Acid Corrosion Queen Bee (Gold I/Legend)

Duel Record: Duels: 100, Wins: 100, Losses: 0, Highest Floor: 100

When looking at the 100% win rate and recalling how he had climbed up the 100 floors, one floor at a time, Lin Yuan felt deeply that he had obtained something called growth.

From the first duel until now, Lin Yuan and his contracted feys had much better teamwork than in the beginning. At the same time, he had a clearer understanding of his fey's abilities.

Lin Yuan had transformed from a combat newbie into a combat veteran who had his own attitude and perspective. His timing and opportunity to use the abilities would become more proficient with constant duels. But even now, Lin Yuan understood that he still had more room to grow.

Lin Yuan knew that from the start of the promotion duel in the Celestial Stairway, he would encounter significantly stronger opponents than the opponents he had met previously.

When climbing the Star Tower, every 10 floors would be considered a small segment, and every 20 floors would be considered a major segment. But when climbing the Celestial Stairway, the opponents might have just declined from the top. An unlucky Celestial Stairway 5-star expert might even fall down to the promotion duel and had to restart all over again.

Therefore, Lin Yuan understood that the next few duels weren't going to be easy. His consecutive victories might also be stopped.

Lin Yuan wasn't really worried about his consecutive victories, as he had never imagined he would be able to win 100 duels consecutively and reach the Celestial Stairway.

Lin Yuan felt that when fighting in the Star Web, one should constantly be amending their combat style and temper their combat skill. Therefore, an evenly matched duel was much more precious than a one-sided duel.

As of now, Lin Yuan had yet to feel that he had fought a duel that was considered evenly matched. He was in need of such a duel in order to squeeze out his and his contracted partners' potential in battle.

Only by failing would Lin Yuan be able to understand what he was lacking.

In fact, after the 100 duels, Lin Yuan had already noticed a weakness he had when commanding the feys in combat.

When fighting in the Star Tower, there were two methods to achieve victory. The first was to kill the spirit qi professional, and the second was to kill all of the opponent's feys.

Only by achieving either one of the conditions would the duel end.

Lin Yuan had also encountered danger before, and if Red Thorn hadn't helped him, he would have been killed by the opponent's sneak attack and lost that duel.

Of course, even though Red Thorn had suffered grave injuries to block the attack, the impact had still smashed Lin Yuan's left shoulder bone. Only after such an injury appeared did Lin Yuan understand the importance of survivability for a combat-class spirit qi professional.

This allowed Lin Yuan to have an accurate objective and direction as to his next contracted fey. Lin Yuan wanted to form a contract with a fey that could protect him. Unfortunately, Lin Yuan wasn't compatible with defense-type feys.

As such, Lin Yuan could only choose to imitate Xin Ying, whose contracted fey had awakened the exclusive skill, Transformation Possession. Otherwise, he would need to contract a source-type lifeform that could protect him.

Chapter 191: Refusing to Accept Any Messages From Others

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and gave up on feys that could learn Transformation Possession to attach onto the body just like Xin Ying's contracted fey. Transformation Possession and Tool Transformation were both very rare, and one could only hope to encounter such exclusive skills.

If Lin Yuan was to enhance feys in huge quantities, it would be possible to produce a Bronze fey that awakened the Transformation Possession exclusive skill. However, given Lin Yuan's current spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to form a contract with a Bronze fey. His remaining spiritual energy wouldn't be enough.

Therefore, Lin Yuan knew that he could only choose a source-type lifeform with great defense if he wanted to increase his survivability.

Nevertheless, source-type lifeforms were extremely rare, and every source-type lifeform had different abilities. Hence, source-type lifeforms that could be used for protection and defense were also things that one could only hope to encounter.

Even if Lin Yuan could find one, putting aside whether he could afford it, it was unknown if Lin Yuan could fulfill the conditions to form a contract with it. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

Lin Yuan had only decided on a direction, and as for how he was going to obtain a source-type lifeform to protect himself, there was a need for further planning.

After finishing the duel on the 100th floor, Lin Yuan didn't immediately log out of the Star Web; instead, he clicked on the notification box that had constantly been flashing.

Lin Yuan had never checked on the notifications for Black because he didn't know a lot of people with his Black identity. The only people he knew as Black were Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran. Furthermore, they contacted each other with their mobile phones and not through the Star Web. Therefore, Lin Yuan felt that it was fine for Black not to reply to any of the messages.

However, when Lin Yuan logged in as his Creation Master identity, he would look at the notification box from time to time. Every time Lin Yuan logged into the Star Web as a Creation Master, he would feel that all the fans of Purchase With No Loss store were true 'warriors'. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to send out close to 10,000 messages in just one or two days.

,000 messages were already a lot for Lin Yuan. Nonetheless, when he checked the notification box for Black, he was flabbergasted.

Isn't this too many messages!?

Lin Yuan counted and realized the number of messages had reached six digits. These were a few hundred thousands of messages!

Not even five days had passed since Lin Yuan started using his Black identity to climb the tower. He took a glance at the messages and realized that the first message was from the Star Web officials.

The Star Web officials hoped that Lin Yuan could open up a Star Web live stream and receive an interview from the Star Web. At the same time, there was a reporter's contact information at the bottom of the message, Tian Ningning.

Lin Yuan didn't even consider and immediately closed the Star Web officials' message. He didn't have any plans to start a live stream, nor did he wish to give any interviews.

If he wanted to give an interview, he would have already given it back at Millstone Town when the reporters from Ascending Dragon City and Star Web had all been there. He wouldn't have chosen to leave with Xin Ying, Zhang Xiaobai, and the others.

After closing the Star Web officials' message, Lin Yuan continued scrolling down the list. He noticed that the next message was from Tian Ningning, the reporter the Star Web officials' message had mentioned.

When Lin Yuan clicked on Tian Ningning, he noticed that this Star Web reporter had been sending him messages since yesterday morning. She had already sent close to 20 messages. Lin Yuan didn't expect that this Tian Ningning would actually be so persistent.

Lin Yuan looked through a few other messages and noticed they were from a few guild clubs that wanted to recruit him. There was even a B-level guild club that hoped he could go to their guild club for an interview among the guild clubs. After the interview, they would make the necessary arrangements according to his needs.

Lin Yuan didn't even think about it and refused. He already planned to build his own guild club, but that thought wasn't firm yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought such a huge piece of land without hesitation.

As such, Lin Yuan would never agree to join other guild clubs. The objective of joining a guild club was to compete in the S Tournament. If Lin Yuan wanted to compete in the S Tournament, he would build his own guild club and gather his own team.

The messages in the Star Web's notification box were sorted out by their importance level. In order to prevent messages from officials and guild clubs from getting overlooked, they were all pushed to the top.

After reading most of the important messages, Lin Yuan felt that these messages were similar in content. They were either requests for interviews or hoping Lin Yuan could go and join their guild clubs.

Lin Yuan felt bored and swept a glance at the messages that weren't indicated as important. He couldn't help raising his brows.

No More Sorrow: "Lord Black, can you take off your mask and send me a private photo? If you think you are ugly, then treat it as though I didn't ask."

Oh White: "Black, I wish to have a baby with you!"

Extra Dream Several Rain: "Husband, what do you like to eat? Just give me your address, and I will buy your favorite food every day!"

Finding Myself Back: "Black! I will not forgive you in this lifetime! My girlfriend broke up with me because I am not your fan! You better watch out!"

Write a Will: "."

Lin Yuan felt a waterfall of sweat forming on his body. What were these messages about?

When did I get married? I don't even have a girlfriend, and someone is calling me husband? Furthermore, what does it have to do with me when your girlfriend breaks up with you? It is not as if I am breaking up with you!?

Lin Yuan paid most attention to that full stop as he had a feeling that it had a hidden meaning.

After skimming through the messages, Lin Yuan emptied his notification box and set a restriction, refusing to accept others' messages. He then logged out of the Star Web.

Lin Yuan didn't know the shock and commotion his 100th win created. The Star Tower's consecutive wins board was also refreshed.

It had taken Lin Yuan only 100 duels to climb from the 1st floor of the Star Tower to the 100th floor, giving him a 100% win rate. Others might attain such a result, but at least no one had achieved it until now.

In fact, Lin Yuan had already broken the record for consecutive wins previously, but having 99 consecutive wins and 100 consecutive wins had a totally different shocking factor.

99 consecutive wins were like a flawless painting that had one of the edges torn off, but 100 consecutive wins meant that the torn edge was mended, making it truly flawless.

Black's reputation mainly stemmed from his heroic deed when he had fought against the pinnacle Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift at Millstone Town. Subsequently, he gathered more attention because of his exposed talent when climbing the Star Tower.

Now that he reached the 100th floor with a 100% win rate and obtained the qualification for the promotion duel, he might still not be as popular as the Radiance Hundred Sequence members, but his popularity was already comparable with those celebrity contestants from the S Tournament.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan was unaware of such things. After logging out as Black, he logged back into the Star Web with his Creation Master identity.

He then put up the Silver Usneas for sale in his store. This time, Lin Yuan set a sale restriction for these ten pots of Silver Usneas. It was still first come, first serve, but each individual could only purchase one pot.

In just three minutes, Lin Yuan realized that all ten pots of Silver Usneas had been sold!

Chapter 192: This Thing Is a Little Too Valuable

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as the ten pots of Silver Usneas were sold, Lin Yuan noticed that Purchase With No Loss Store's fan group had also exploded.

Lin Yuan was amazed at the speed of these fan members—they were truly fast!

The Silver Usneas might have only been on the store for three minutes before selling out, but the news of Purchase With No Loss Store selling Silver Usneas still created a commotion. When this piece of news was spread out, the store's reputation instantly burst upward.

The price that Lin Yuan had set for the Silver Usneas wasn't low. As compared to the Silver Usneas' auction price in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion, the selling price for Lin Yuan's Silver Usneas was similar.

However, Silver Usneas were simply too rare, and hardly anyone would choose to sell Silver Usneas through an auction on the Star Web's Rare Lifeform Pavilion. If the Silver Usneas branches were cut and nurtured with a special method, they would quickly grow into Elite Usneas.

The price of Elite Usneas was already rather high, so a Silver Usnea could actually be said to be a hen that could lay eggs.

Lin Yuan didn't bother about the explosive commotion after he put up the Silver Usneas for sale in the store. In any case, he wasn't planning to put up new species of rare feys in the future. But the grades of the Usneas and Spirit-Siphon Goldfish would only continue getting higher.

...

Inside a high-class office building situated within the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital, a short-haired yet abnormally cute woman was sitting in a sulky mood. She was holding onto a pen and clicking on it repeatedly.

At that moment, the colleague of the cute woman walked over and asked, "Ningning, has Black not replied to you yet?"

The cute woman nodded and said, "There is still no news yet. But I can see that Black's consecutive wins are still increasing on the Star Tower."

The colleague patted on Tian Ningning's shoulder and said, "Ningning, there is plenty of news on the Star Web for you to report on. You don't have to go on a wild goose chase. If Black isn't willing, isn't it the same to find someone else for the interview?"

Tian Ningning shook her head and pouted before replying stubbornly, "Big Sister Feng, I still wish to interview Black. I feel that Black has potential!"

Tian Ningning felt rather conflicted right now. She was one of Star Web's special columnists, whose numbers didn't exceed 300 in the entire Star Web. One could even say that every special columnist possessed a huge flow of resources on the Star Web.

As for Tian Ningning, she had just passed the test officially at the start of this year, becoming the Star Web's special columnist. During this year, Tian Ningning had written plenty of exceptional articles, but she had never found a person that she truly wanted to interview.

In fact, Tian Ningning had plenty of good opportunities this year too. Not long ago, one of the ex-Sequence members of the Radiance Hundred that had been eliminated had started a live stream on the Star Web. That ex-Sequence member wanted to invite a special columnist to be his exclusive reporter.

That ex-Sequence member had privately looked for Tian Ningning and wanted her to be his exclusive reporter, but she politely rejected him.

An exclusive reporter was a truly special existence. If Tian Ningning was to sign a contract with someone else to be an exclusive reporter, she would only be able to write reports about the person she had signed the contract with. Simultaneously, only she was eligible to write reports about the person who signed a contract with her.

Given this binding form of relationship, Tian Ningning had to be abnormally cautious when making a choice. Only when Black appeared did Tian Ningning have the intention to take the initiative to conduct an interview. However, Tian Ningning's hard found passion was facing a very realistic problem—Black not replying to her messages.

At that moment, Tian Ningning suddenly heard footsteps at the entrance, and she saw her superior walking in. Just as Tian Ningning wanted to say something, she realized that her superior walked straight toward her.

"Tian Ningning, have you scheduled for a special interview with Black?" Nêww 𝒄hapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(𝒆)

Tian Ningning felt dejected when she heard the question and shook her head. As a result, her superior said, "Black has already achieved 100 consecutive wins on the Star Tower. With a win rate of 100% from the 1st floor to the 100th floor, he is now qualified to participate in the Celestial Stairway promotion duels. Follow up on this. If you cannot get the special interview in another three days, I will ask someone else to follow up on this."

Tian Ningning wasn't especially surprised to hear that Black had reached the 100th floor with a 100% win rate. After all, when Tian Ningning had been preparing the interview for Black, she had already thought of the possibility. However, when she heard the actual news, her heart still made a huge thud as she settled on something.

"Chief, if I get Black's special interview, I wish to apply to become Black's exclusive reporter."

When Tian Ningning's superior heard the statement, he was instantly stunned.

When Tian Ningning made that statement, she felt Big Sister Feng pulling her from the side. After a moment, the superior responded, "If this is what you want, then as long as you obtain Black's approval, I can consider."

Tian Ningning turned back to see Big Sister Feng looking at her with a disappointed expression after the superior left. "Ningning, with your capability, you can strive to become an exclusive reporter for a Radiance Hundred Sequence member. Even if Black is popular now, he has yet to climb to the Celestial Stairway. In addition, Black has never revealed his true appearance to anyone. You should know better than me that most of the fame these days is built upon heroism and mystery. Most importantly, do you know the age of the person behind that mask?"

Tian Ningning let out a sweet smile and revealed two little dimples as she said, "I know that Big Sister Feng is concerned about me. But I trust my instincts."

Big Sister Feng couldn't help but get enraged. "Ningning, this year, the Radiance Hundred Sequence is going to be sorted out again. Why don't you make contact with the newly recruited Sequence members first? It will definitely be better than to become Black's exclusive reporter."

Tian Ningning smiled and shook her head. "Big Sister Feng, I will go to the Star Web and see if Black has replied."

After saying that, Tian Ningning logged into the Star Web to see whether there was any news from Black. After logging in, she was disappointed to see the same outcome.

Tian Ningning didn't lose heart and sent another message, only to realize that her message couldn't get through. She found out that Black had activated the reject-all-messages setting.

Tian Ningning was fretting. What should I do now?

Finally, Tian Ningning ground her teeth and thought in her heart, I don't believe that I cannot see Black even once! Black should have some ties with the Extreme Guild Club's S Tournament Reserve Team's four reserve members. Then I shall visit the Extreme Guild Club to see if I can get a chance to speak with Black through those four reserve members.

While thinking like that, Tian Ningning immediately logged out of the Star Web and exited the office building. She rode on a flying fey and flew toward the Extreme Guild Club's address.

At present, Lin Yuan was enhancing feys. He was enhancing the three fish he had found in the icy pool back then. Even with Lin Yuan's experience, the feys he enhanced still shocked him.

"These are too valuable! How can I have enhanced such a lucky thing!?" he exclaimed.

Chapter 193: Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan had seen these three fish at the edge of the pool in the depths of the Endless Forest and felt that they were rather familiar, so he had subconsciously used True Data to check them. If he had not done so, he would not have brought them back. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

The three fish looked gray and were only half a finger long, so they were simply not conspicuous in the water. But thanks to True Data, Lin Yuan found out that they were actually the legendary Myriad Form Carps.

He was familiar with them, as there were many of them in the pond in the center of the garden outside the Radiant Moon Palace. However, those fish were not ordinary Myriad Form Carps, but a famous koi-species of the Myriad Form Carps' evolution.

As the name implied, the Myriad Form Carp was a kind of carp that could evolve into different kinds of koi under the catalysis of various spiritual ingredients and spirit qi.

Koi was auspicious because it was always linked to good luck. Therefore, the Radiance Federation would also regard koi as the most inferior auspicious feys. Only ordinary koi feys were considered as inferior auspicious feys. However, this was not the case with the evolved koi in the pond in the center of the garden outside the Radiant Moon Palace.

The Pine Snow Fallen Cherry Koi, the Golden Mountain Blowing Koi, and the Nine-Patterned Dragon Koi were the finest among the koi. Each of them was extremely complex and different in the way spiritual ingredients and spirit qi catalyzed them. The spiritual ingredients used might even be hard to find.

Take the Pine Snow Fallen Cherry Koi as an example. Its body was red and white, and the gap between the colors was not that big. Rather, it was just like a cherry blossom rain on the white snowy ground.

The cherry blossom rain on the fish carried a gradation of aesthetics, as though some cherry blossoms had been buried deep in the white snow, some had fallen on the snow surface, while some were still dancing in the cold snow, unwilling to fall.

In addition, the Pine Snow Fallen Cherry Koi's red-and-white body had a light pattern of pine needles, which was very beautiful. In the water, it was also like, 'the pine needles blending with the cold snow, and the fallen cherry blossoms and snow are suddenly warm.' It was as though a sudden warm cherry blossom rain had bloomed in the water's extreme coldness.

The koi in the pond in the center of the Radiant Moon Palace's garden was not a question of whether one could get them for a price in the Radiance Federation. Many people from affluent families who loved koi feys might not even have the chance to see it once in their lives.

Even though Lin Yuan was used to seeing those koi in the pond, he was still amazed at the three koi he had evolved in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. He had never expected the three Myriad Form Carps would actually evolve into truly auspicious feys after he enhanced them.

When he used True Data to check them, he found out that they had evolved into Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps. Each of them was nearly one meter long, which, of course, referred to their bodies. Their elegant fishtails were even longer than their bodies, and their fins were about half a meter long. A fin cartilage supported the fin and did not look messy at all, only endlessly outstanding.

Lin Yuan placed the Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps in the spirit pool. Based on their swimming posture, they did not seem like they were swimming but soaring unrestrainedly. They spread their fins like a phoenix and swung their tails like a dragon. They had a very beautiful posture.

Of course, this was not the best thing about them. Their fins and tails that resembled a phoenix and a dragon accounted for the 'Dragon-Phoenix' in their name. The 'landscape' word in their name came from details on their snow-white bodies.

The details were like a few drops of pine soot in ink, and the ink would enter a clear pool, creating a 'vast landscape painting.'

The rivers and mountains were blended into one scene, the mountains and river drew an outline, the pavilions and kiosks were in myriad forms, and the myriad forms gathered in the magnificent landscape of the rivers and mountains.

The plants were decorated with various colors in the landscape, and the Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp was a depiction of the beautiful rivers and mountains.

The mountains and rivers did not remain motionless on the carp's body. As it swam, the details on its body would constantly change.

Despite the slow change, if one looked at it closely, one would notice the picturesque landscape's endless evolution. The worldly landscape and various scenery were all on the Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carp.

But if this was the case, even if the landscape's beautiful evolution was converged on it, its auspicious dragon-phoenix posture could still not allow it to be called a superior auspicious fey.

In fact, the Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp's exclusive skill was the key as to why Lin Yuan had defined it as a superior auspicious fey.

[Place of Life]: Plants do not wither, water does not freeze, and everything that grows under Place of Life would be in the most comfortable environment and away from disease.

Since ancient times, people had been debating about what were auspicious signs and had different definitions on them. Plums, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums were elegant and not considered auspicious.

The osmanthus' fragrance contained a touch of nobility, and it could be used as an antidote. Therefore, after the Spirit Qi Awakening, it was reasonable for the osmanthus to be treated as an inferior auspicious thing.

But with the evolution of living things containing spirit qi, many rare and exotic alien beasts, such as dragon-like snakes, phoenix-like birds, cranes, and turtles, were not truly auspicious. Thus, people were now having more and more debates about auspiciousness, with increasingly harsh judgment on it.

Because of this, auspicious creatures were also becoming more and more precious. However, one part of the definition of true auspiciousness that had not changed since ancient times was that those being born as auspicious could protect other living things.

This Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp's exclusive skill could protect the living things and set the meaning of landscape beauty.

Since Lin Yuan had only enhanced the three fish swimming freely in the pond to Bronze X/Epic, the Place of Life could not show much power. If the Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps were raised in Lin Yuan's manor, they could ensure that the grass, trees, river, and pond within three kilometers outside the manor would be under their exclusive skill.

The air in Redbud City was dryer and not humid, unlike the air in Redbud City, so it was not suitable for bamboo feys' growth, which was a type of fey that loved the humidity.

If Wen Yu had not buried 250,000 kilograms of high-grade energy ores in the 3,000-meter bamboo forest behind the manor, the bamboo leaves would have long dropped due to the dry air.

Due to Place of Life, the manor would remain lush and verdant even in midwinter, and the man-made lake would not freeze and would still be surging.

At that moment, a Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp suddenly jumped out of the water. Its sudden posture was like the flood dragon coming out of the water and the phoenix breaking through the clouds.

As Lin Yuan looked at it suddenly leaping out of the water, he felt that the moment it did that, a part of its details changed suddenly.

The corner of the outlined mountains and rivers turned into a rustling river. When he looked at the change, he suddenly felt amazed.

Chapter 194: Lin Yuan's Anguish

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan suddenly felt as if a magnificent landscape of mountains and rivers had appeared before his eyes. The mountains and rivers were flowing and changing, and the mountains, rivers, canyon, and ocean were changing with the world's transformations.

He looked at the ink-dyed rivers and mountains on the Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carp that had leaped out of the water, as though 10,000 years had passed in one glance. But when he returned to his senses and looked at the time, he found that only a few seconds had passed.

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt a Willpower Rune that seemed to have a layer of ink-color, flowing and changing in the pure whiteness, emerge in his spiritual energy. It was the Myriad Form Willpower Rune.

He could not help but touch the back of his head. How had he comprehended a Willpower Rune by just looking at the Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carp that had leaped out of the water?

He had heard people say that it was very difficult to comprehend a Willpower Rune, but he really did not feel that way now.

Lin Yuan had comprehended a Willpower Rune from watching the green hills that had been burned by the blazing fire but still grew out new plants. This Willpower Rune had fused with the Jasmine Lily and allowed it to become a Fantasy Breed.

The second Willpower Rune had formed as the wolves' pack was hunting and massacring the alien insects under the dark night. This Willpower Rune also long belonged to Red Thorn.

He had comprehended this third Yin-Yang Willpower Rune on the way to the Royal Capital with Ling Xiao. He had just been sitting on the Blue Jade Pegasus and observing the alternation between day and night. Lin Yuan had not given this Yin-Yang Willpower Rune to any of his feys.

He had comprehended the fourth Twilight Willpower Rune from watching the dawn outside Millstone Town and had fused it with Chimey, allowing it to become a Fantasy Breed Twilight Starbird.

At present, this Myriad Form Willpower Rune was his fifth one. The acquisition of this Willpower Rune made him fall into contemplation.

Among his feys, the Spirit-Gather Goldfish, Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, and Genius still did not have suitable Willpower Runes yet.

This Willpower Rune had an all-embracing sense and seemed to have some versatility. It seemed that Genius, the Spirit-Gather Goldfish, and the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly were suitable with it. However, if he had to choose among them, it was very obvious that Genius was more suitable.

The manifestation of nature itself meant encompassing everything, just like Genius' intelligence.

After Lin Yuan carefully comprehended this Myriad Form Willpower Rune, he found that it was perfectly compatible with Genius because this Willpower Rune caused more of a change in appearance rather than knowledge.

If other people comprehended a Willpower Rune that had something in common with their fey, they would be happy to use it immediately. But for his contracted fey, especially Genius, which was the first fey to accompany him, he did not want to be negligent on the Willpower Rune's choice.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, he should pair it with the most suitable Willpower Rune to evolve it into a Fantasy Breed.

If other spirit qi professionals knew about his thoughts, they would probably kneel on the floor and call him 'Boss'.

Comprehending a Willpower Rune could not be controlled, and it was always a kind of natural gift. The kind of Willpower Rune one would comprehend was always an unknown.

Hence, after most spirit qi professionals comprehended a Willpower Rune, they would look for a Bronze fey with high quality that was compatible with their comprehended Willpower Rune and nurture it. However, such feys were very rare.

Therefore, if spirit qi professionals could come across a high-quality Bronze fey that was somewhat compatible with their Willpower Rune, most of them would consider it to be a stroke of luck. Not anyone could be like Lin Yuan, who wanted to match his fey with a perfect Willpower Rune.

Lin Yuan was now somewhat helpless, as he did not know when Red Thorn would evolve into Legend, so he still could not use the Willpower Rune he had comprehended from the massacre.

Although the Yin-Yang Willpower Rune and this Myriad Form Willpower Rune were two completely different kinds, they were essentially related to change. But so far, Lin Yuan simply did not have such change-related feys or source-type lifeforms to go with these two Willpower Runes.

He could not help but mumble, Having too many Willpower Runes is really sweet anguish.

If it was said before that, the other combat-class spirit qi professionals would kneel and call him 'Boss'. Then, after they heard his words, they would probably want to fight him.

As Lin Yuan looked at the three Bronze/Epic Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps in the spirit pool, he had his own plans. They were superior auspicious feys without any combat abilities. He did not intend to contract them, nor would he sell them away. Instead, he planned to raise them in his own manor.

With the Place of Life, he would no longer need to take care of the flowers and plants. He made up his mind. When he became a spirit qi professional of a higher class, he would evolve the three Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps from Bronze/Epic to Bronze/Legend.

Regarding such superior auspicious feys that could protect a party of living things, Lin Yuan planned to evolve them into Fantasy Breeds.

Of course, with Lin Yuan around, they did not need to rely on themselves to raise their quality or grade, as he could solve that.

Therefore, the hurdle that the three Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carps needed to overcome would depend on whether they could comprehend the Willpower Rune at Diamond X/Legend and reach Suzerain. Of course, it was still too far to say this right now.

Lin Yuan stroked his chin, looked at the three Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carps, and pondered for a while before leaving the Spirit Lock spatial zone. He did not intend to keep the carps in the manor's pond but raise them in the manor. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

The change of the details on their back was just like looking at three great ages constantly changing. As the saying went, 'Myriad colors are not as good as ink.' Only when the Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carps that swam like a dragon and phoenix were raised in the manor could he regularly observe them and enjoy their elegance.

The manor had a total of three floors, and the kitchen, dining hall, and living room were interconnected. Therefore, it was good to set up a fish tank that could be used as a wall decoration to separate the kitchen and dining hall from the living hall.

Lin Yuan roughly measured the wall's length and realized it was not much different from the fish tank he imagined. He planned to set up a 9.9-meter-long and two-meter-wide fish tank as a wall decoration.

Its length was 0.1 meters away from a whole number. When life was too complete, it would not last, so with less of a perfection, it was more in line with being auspicious.

The two-meter-wide fish tank could also completely let the three Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carps swim and be used to raise them. As for the water in the tank, he could just connect it to the man-made lake outside.

Since the Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carps could purify water, if he connected the fish tank and the man-made lake, the man-made lake's water quality could also be improved most perfectly. But such an enormous fish tank was not readily available and needed to be custom made.

At present, Lin Yuan's manor was filled with an ancient feeling.

In the past few days, Wen Yu had purchased many compatible appliances with the manor, and together with the jade-like furniture, the house looked rather appealing.

Although Lin Yuan did not have OCD, he did not want to use something out of place to destroy the mansion's overall beauty, so he did not intend to custom-make a huge metal fish tank. Instead, he decided on the fish tank material.

Chapter 195: How Pretentious

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were many jade-like wooden materials and red sandalwood in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Lin Yuan had gotten the completely jade-like sandalwood when he had cleaned up the backyard in the Xia Region's fey store and disassembled the old shelves.

When he had taken over the store, there had been six shelves in the store. He then later supported the store alone, and due to health reasons, only one shelf was left.

After disassembling the five shelves, he had gotten a huge batch of red sandalwood and placed them in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

At present, the red sandalwood had turned into a jade-like red-purple color, with a faint red sandalwood grain on it. The grains made it seem as though a faint purple cloud was vaguely rising, looking like a propitious omen.

As Lin Yuan looked at this jade-like red sandalwood material and the rising purple cloud, he felt it was a wonderful message. These red sandalwood materials were worthy of the three superior and auspicious Dragon Phoenix Landscape Carps.

At that moment, Wen Yu was instructing some gardeners, who were taking care of the mansion greenery, to plant some Normal plant feys in the various parts of the mansion.

With the 250,000 kilograms of high-grade energy ores and the protection from the Place of Life, perhaps after some time, these Normal plants would have the opportunity to become Elite.

Liu Jie went out to buy spiritual ingredients at that moment. Ever since Lin Yuan had put that pot of White Jade Snow Orchid in the kitchen, he particularly liked to buy a bunch of spiritual ingredients and put them on the kitchen shelves.

Anyway, with the White Jade Snow Orchid around, these spiritual ingredients would not deteriorate. Even if some plant spiritual ingredients had their roots broken, they would still become fresher the longer they were kept.

Lin Yuan called a Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car and headed toward a very famous Spirit Craftsman store in the Royal Capital. He preferred to travel in the Royal Capital with a Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car than a flying fey.

The Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car could let him experience the bustle and noise in the Royal Capital, feel the earthly food fragrance, and let him calm down.

The driver chatted with Lin Yuan about his family's daily life along the way and was very enthusiastic. The car was traveling on the road when a young girl about the same age as Chu Ci ran on the side of the road and reached out to stop it with a particularly anxious look.

The middle-aged driver turned around and looked at Lin Yuan, which was him asking Lin Yuan. If there were passengers on the Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car and the driver wanted to take another passenger on the way, they had to obtain the passengers' consent.

Lin Yuan naturally would not mind it, so he waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I have no opinions."

The driver was actually very willing to take another passenger, as this was akin to earning more money. He stopped at the side of the street, and the young girl got in the car and hurriedly thanked them, "Thank you, Uncle, Young Brother."

She was very cheerful, and after she got in the car, she no longer looked anxious. It was difficult to get a car here, and one had to wait for some time, even if they booked one on the Star Web. The young girl was now relieved.

Lin Yuan noticed that she was carrying a frog-shaped school bag and thought that she was a student.

After the young girl thanked them, she immediately looked at Lin Yuan and asked pleadingly, "Young Brother, can you let the driver take me to the Royal Capital Spirit Qi Intermediate Academy for lessons first? Last night, my mother got drunk and forgot to wake me up this morning."

Lin Yuan did not expect this young girl to be a student of the Royal Capital Spirit Qi Intermediate Academy.

It was an academy affiliated with the Spirit Qi Advanced Academy. Most of the students who graduated from the Spirit Qi Intermediate Academy could go straight to the Spirit Qi Advanced Academy.

"No problem. The place I'm going to happens to pass by the academy."

Then, he said to the middle-aged driver in front, "Sir, she looks quite anxious. Send her directly to the Royal Capital's Spirit Qi Intermediate Academy's teaching building before dropping me at my place."

The academy allowed Speed-Hoofed Donkey Cars that had been certified in the Royal Capital.

Because the academy was huge, students who went to school by the Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car were allowed to drop at the teaching building entrance. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, the middle-aged driver smiled and replied, "Young Brother, you're so nice."

Lin Yuan could not help but feel a little dumbfounded. He should not be considered being nice, as he was on his way. People would always meet with difficulties outside, so they needed to understand each other. Why did this driver deem him as a nice person?

Lin Yuan looked at the young girl sitting next to him, who was holding a frog school bag, and thought, This young girl is pretty quiet. Such girls tend to calm down when they learn some theoretical knowledge.

At that moment, a cell phone rang in her little frog bag. The young girl took out her cell phone and looked at it before roaring, "Fatty Wang, you bastard! We'll just break up! Why did you have to use my account to scold our teacher-in-charge?"

When Lin Yuan heard this, he quickly erased his earlier thoughts. How did she have a quiet character?

Then, the young girl said, "My mother drank too much. When she saw me looking at the information of a Spiritual Ingredient Analyst, she beat me up, with the reason that I was too pretentious. Let me tell you, Fatty Wang! I'm in a very bad mood now. When I reach school, I'll find your teacher-in-charge and tell him that I was the one who helped do all your homework before."

Lin Yuan almost snorted out loud. The reason of her being pretentious was acceptable!

She already had a partner, and they were torturing each other. Young people nowadays were really not simple.

At the teaching building entrance, the young girl bade farewell to Lin Yuan and the driver before she rushed in with her frog school bag.

Lin Yuan could not help but be dumbfounded. Her speed could probably reach an Elite Black Back Mountain Boar's.

Soon, the Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car sent him to his destination, which was a very famous Spirit Craftsman store in the Royal Capital.

There were many kinds of Spirit Craftsmen. A Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen team had built Lin Yuan's mansion based on the blueprint.

There were more of such Spirit Craftsmen who did construction, while those manufacturing small pieces of furniture and ornaments were relatively rare because rough carving was simpler.

Besides carving an ornament into an exquisite shape, one also had to pay attention to depicting the demeanor, texture, and style.

The Class 4 Spirit Craftsman in this store specialized in manufacturing furniture and ornaments. However, the reviews of this Spirit Craftsman store on Star Web were very extreme.

One-tenth of the people expressed that the store's items were great, while the remaining people said that the store owner was a lunatic.

When Lin Yuan was about to enter the store, he noticed two people coming out. They looked rather annoyed and muttered, "He's really crazy!"

Lin Yuan now knew how those ratings that the store owner was a lunatic had come about. When he walked into the store, he realized that the store was simply jaw-dropping. He was not amazed at how exquisite the store had been built, but because the store was built exactly like a KTV studio.

Chapter 196: Crane Shadowed Censer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan couldn't help lamenting as to what kind of taste the owner had to design the store in this manner. He was looking at the hanging lamp that was shining with seven different colors in broad daylight. When he exchanged looks with the burly man that was seated on his recliner, the burly man let out a sinister smile and said, "Gather at the village entrance! Bring along your own cement1!"

The burly man didn't even take a look at Lin Yuan, who had just walked in and used his most accustomed greeting. "Today's rule is to prepare your own spiritual material. If the spiritual material reaches my standard, each carving I make will be 100 Radiance dollars. If the spiritual material is bigger than this piece I have on my hand, I will carve it for you for free. But the shavings shall be left behind as my compensation."

After speaking, the burly middle-aged man lifted his hand and placed an abnormally exquisite censer on the table. Lin Yuan actually doubted this burly man's sense of beauty at first, but he was immediately attracted after seeing the censer. The craftsmanship on this censer was truly too detailed.

The censer looked as though it was carved with 1,000 Red-Crowned Cranes that were ready to take flight. When illuminated by the lamplight, it looked as if crane images were flying out of the censer. If some agarwood incense and swirling with white smoke, along with the crane images, were added to the censer, it would truly be graceful.

Lin Yuan didn't waste any time and took out a piece of red sandalwood that had turned jade-like in texture. It was glowing with reddish-purple luster and looked as though it was wrapped in a bundle of purple aura.

As soon as Lin Yuan took out this jade-textured red sandalwood, the burly man who was originally reading his book jumped off from his recliner and said, "It is actually red sandalwood that has complete jade texture! This is a precious item that is very rare! Tell me, what do you wish to carve?"

Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry to reply. Instead, he pointed at the crane shadowed censer and asked, "Senior, how many carves did it take you to make this censer?"

The burly man immediately replied. "I used 30,000 carves."

While speaking, he picked up the crane shadowed censer and rubbed it with his palm. It was obvious that he was fond of this crane shadowed censer.

Lin Yuan didn't expect that just the craftsmanship of this crane shadowed censer cost 3,000,000 Radiance dollars, and the material cost wasn't even factored in yet.

,000,000 Radiance dollars wasn't a small sum, and it was enough to purchase a regular Platinum fey. No wonder this burly man was a Class 4 Spirit Craftsman; the price of his craftsmanship was truly extraordinary.

When the burly man noticed that Lin Yuan didn't talk after hearing the price, he said, "If you use this jade-textured red sandalwood as the base, I can carve one for you for free. But the shavings of the jade-textured red sandalwood will be left for me."

Lin Yuan shook his head in response, as he had other use for the shavings of this jade-textured red sandalwood. When building the fish tank with this jade-textured red sandalwood, the amount of carving required would certainly produce plenty of shavings. If all the shavings were left for this burly man, Lin Yuan felt that he would be making a loss.

In addition, Lin Yuan was planning to use the shavings of this completely jade-textured red sandalwood as a decoration at the fish tank's bed.

Lin Yuan extended his hand to break off a piece of this jade-textured red sandalwood, which was the size of half a fist, and said, "I can give senior this piece of jade-textured red sandalwood as compensation. I wonder what the senior thinks?"

The burly man's eyes nearly popped out when Lin Yuan broke off a piece of this completely jade-textured red sandalwood. If this piece of jade-textured red sandalwood belonged to him, he would have already beaten up Lin Yuan.

In the eyes of a Spirit Craftsman, for any kind of material, the bigger the size of the material, the better it was to create exquisite designs. As for small-sized materials, the design would be restricted. However, the burly man didn't have any opinion in regards to Lin Yuan's proposed compensation.

Even as a Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, the burly man might be rich, but if he wanted to get his hands on materials like this jade-textured red sandalwood, he would have to depend on his luck as such things were always rare in supply. Every usage would only decrease the overall supply.

On the market, most of the products were already carved and sculpted. It was very rare to find such a material that wasn't carved at all. As for this small piece of jade-textured red sandalwood that was only the size of half a fist, it shouldn't be a problem to carve out two signets.

In this burly man's heart, he might still think that the youth's suggested compensation was too much, but he wouldn't refuse such an offer. However, the burly man quickly understood why he deserved such compensation as it was simply a huge project.

When Lin Yuan saw the burly man nodding, he immediately took a huge batch of jade-textured red sandalwood out of his Diamond fey storage box.

Even though the burly man was experienced, knowledgeable, and had carved all sorts of rare materials, he was still dazzled by this batch of jade-textured red sandalwood that took up a fifth of his store's space.

If he didn't support himself by holding onto the table, he would have fallen back into his recliner.

When so much jade-textured red sandalwood was brought out, it immediately overwhelmed the seven-colored hanging lamp and covered the entire store with a purple aura.

After a long period, the burly man finally came back to his senses but was still unable to make a single statement. Lin Yuan then informed the burly man of his request for the fish tank. Subsequently, he weighed this batch of jade-textured red sandalwood together with the burly man before signing an agreement for this project.

For precious materials like the jade-textured red sandalwood and in such huge quantities, the agreement for the project was extremely harsh. Therefore, Lin Yuan wasn't afraid that this Class 4 Spirit Craftsman would violate the agreement and embezzle his material. If the Class 4 Spirit Craftsman did so, what awaited this Class 4 Spirit Craftsman wouldn't just be a review of being lunatic by 90% of the customers. He would really be facing a reputation default.

At the same time, he would have to repay the debt and be punished severely.

Lin Yuan had plenty of requests for the red sandalwood fish tank and had discussed the details with the burly man.

As Lin Yuan continued to look at the crane shadowed censer, he couldn't help but feel it was extremely exquisite and increasingly pleasant to the eyes. He then asked the burly man, "Senior, I wonder if you have any plans to sell this crane shadowed censer?"

If anyone else asked like this previously, the burly man would have chased them out of his store. This crane shadowed censer was the burly man's adored masterpiece, as he had carved it when he became a Class 4 Spirit Craftsman. He had always cherished it like a treasure.

However, after seeing so much jade-textured red sandalwood, the burly man was tempted and finally gnashed his teeth before saying, "Give me another piece of jade-textured red sandalwood of the same size, and you can take this censer."

Lin Yuan picked up this crane shadowed censer and observed it. He realized that the material used to carve this censer was the Dragonblood Golden Silk Bamboo that wasn't completely jade-textured. Lin Yuan had to admit that carving Red-Crowned Cranes on the Dragonblood Golden Silk Bamboo was truly fitting for the concept.

While the cranes rested in the bamboo forest, their shadows were so relaxed.

Furthermore, the Dragonblood Golden Silk Bamboo was a wood material that was more precious than the red sandalwood. In terms of value, the Dragonblood Golden Silk Bamboo, which wasn't completely jade-textured, wasn't as valuable as the jade-textured red sandalwood that had the same size. However, the price difference wouldn't be too significant.

Moreover, Lin Yuan could see that the Class 4 Spirit Craftsman was rather hesitant to sell this crane shadowed censer. Lin Yuan knew that if he continued hesitating, this burly man might just change his mind, and Lin Yuan would lose the chance of owning this crane shadowed censer.

The lesson Lin Yuan had learned when purchasing the butterfly cocoons was something that he had yet to forget, so he accepted the deal decisively.

This crane shadowed censer might not be completely jade-textured, but it was a small matter for Lin Yuan. As long as he placed it in the Spirit Lock spatial zone for some time, the Dragonblood Golden Silk Bamboo used to carve the crane shadowed censer would undergo a transformation.

After making the arrangements, Lin Yuan left his address. The burly man would deliver the fish tank to Lin Yuan after half a month.

After completing his objective, Lin Yuan returned to the mansion. He was preparing to challenge the promotion duel after reaching the Star Tower's 100th floor.

Chapter 197: Source-Type Lifeform Earth Rush Golden Lotus

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Yuan returned to the manor, he noticed that Wen Yu was holding a sprinkling can and watering an Earth Rush Golden Lotus that was planted in front of the manor. This Earth Rush Golden Lotus wasn't a decorative fey for the manor, but in fact, it was a source-type lifeform contracted by Wen Yu.

Wen Yu originally didn't have the Earth Rush Golden Lotus. However, after becoming Lin Yuan's assistant, in order to allow Wen Yu to be of better help to Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress had bestowed this precious source-type lifeform, Earth Rush Golden Lotus, to Wen Yu.

This Silver/Flawless Earth Rush Golden Lotus could be said to be an exceptional helper for Creation Masters, but it had a habit, and that was to bask in at least six hours of sun every day. The Earth Rush Golden Lotus would only develop well only with six hours of sun a day. If it didn't have at least six hours of sun, the Earth Rush Golden Lotus would look like it was going to wither and lifeless.

As for the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid and Lin Yuan's Silver/Fantasy Jasmine Lily, those were plants that didn't have an especially high requirement for sunlight. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

The indoor refraction of light was already enough for the White Jade Snow Orchid and the Jasmine Lily.

Recently, Lin Yuan didn't release all of his feys on the outside and allowed them to live in the mansion. The Silver/Fantasy Jasmine Lily, the Silver/Fantasy Chimey, and the Bronze IV/Epic Red Thorn all required to increase their grade and evolve.

Therefore, Lin Yuan had placed the Jasmine Lily and Chimey into the Spirit Lock spatial zone. The high concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was able to constantly enhance the Jasmine Lily and Chimey. As for Red Thorn, Lin Yuan placed it inside the leaf-shaped fey storage box, allowing Red Thorn to pick its preference among the dimensional lifeforms to consume and evolve itself.

As of now, Lin Yuan truly didn't have any method to enhance Red Thorn, so it was the slowest to advance in grade among his feys. Red Thorn's evolution speed was even slower than Chimey's and the Jasmine Lily's, even though the two latter feys were Silver/Fantasy.

If Lin Yuan wanted, he could enter seclusion for a few months and would be able to upgrade Chimey and the Jasmine Lily from Silver I to Silver II.

However, Red Thorn could only rely on itself to consume massive amounts of flesh and blood in order to evolve. In fact, Red Thorn's progression was the normal progression of a spirit qi professional's fey. Nonetheless, Red Thorn's progression should still be significantly faster than other feys. At the very least, Red Thorn didn't need to fret about not having even blood and flesh from dimensional lifeforms.

At present, Red Thorn was consuming massive amounts of Class 1 dimensional lifeforms and consuming small quantities of Class 2 and Class 3 dimensional lifeforms.

The corpse of a Class 3 dimensional lifeform was already equivalent to a Gold fey corpse. Therefore, Red Thorn's daily food expenses would be at least 500 Radiance dollars. This was because Red Thorn was only eating the cheaper Class 3 dimensional lifeforms first.

After days and months, it was unknown how much more resources Red Thorn would require. Such a supply of food and resources was something that many regular spirit qi professionals wouldn't be able to provide.

Thus, it was easy to see how difficult it was for regular spirit qi professionals to upgrade the grade and quality of their feys.

Since Red Thorn was in the leaf-shaped fey storage box, as Red Thorn's tenant and also no.1 bootlicker, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was naturally staying in the same place as Red Thorn. For the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, any place with Red Thorn was paradise.

The Acid-Swallowing Larvae was already absorbing massive amounts of acid from Red Thorn and starting to produce and store Acid-Swallowing Larvae.

Genius, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, and the Spirit-Gather Goldfish, couldn't upgrade into a Fantasy Breed because of Willpower Runes. Although he had to stall their quality and grade, they were all getting busier with their lives.

Recently, Chimey had always been around Genius and researching something. Every time he saw Genius and Chimey together, he would be able to feel Chimey's expectation and excitement while also feeling Genius' helplessness.

As for the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, ever since the Jasmine Lily had upgraded into a Fantasy Breed, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly would land on the jade-colored flower of the Jasmine Lily whenever it had nothing to do. It was truly living a carefree and peaceful life.

On the other hand, the aloof and tyrannic Spirit-Gather Goldfish, Blackie, was now constantly fetching the Butterfly Shells at the bottom of the spirit pool to feed the female Five Fortune Ranchu in order to gain its favor.

Upon seeing that his feys were getting busier, more carefree, and more loving, Lin Yuan was rather delighted as their contractor.

Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan and immediately put down her sprinkling can. She smiled and said, "Young Master, I just boiled a pot of tea. It is on the table."

Lin Yuan nodded. The tea leaves in this mansion weren't bought by Lin Yuan; they were delivered from the Radiant Moon Palace. These tea leaves were planted by the tea attendants in the Radiant Moon Palace to make spirit tea.

There was quite a mix of the Platinum Dark Dream Fragrant Tea's leaves among the tea leaves. In this deep, chilly autumn, when drinking a sip of the tea that was fused with Platinum Dark Dream Fragrant Tea, it would immediately expel the chilly feeling from the body and invigorate the spirit.

After entering the house, he poured a cup of spirit tea. The teapot that was made of Dehua porcelain1 didn't have any traces of patterns, giving it a clean and comfortable feeling. A glazing color also accompanied it.

The teacups were also made of the same Dehua porcelain material. This clean teacup was poured with amber-colored tea. When the tea emitted that elegant fragrance, it was truly soothing.

Lin Yuan took out a piece of ink-black jade-textured agarwood. He then put some shavings of the jade-textured agarwood into the Crane Shadowed Censer before lighting up the shavings.

When put together with the jade-textured furniture, the censer was emitting a gentle halo. It looked as though shadows of cranes were flying around in a lively manner. The crane shadows had a sunset color and were spiraling upward.

It was unknown if the sunset color was fusing into the smoke, or the smoke was fusing into the sunset color.

The spiraling of smoke and sunset color mixture gave off a feeling that was close to being an illusion. This illusory feeling from the crane shadows made it feel as though one was ascending to immortality.

The smell of agarwood was mixed with the fragrance from the Dark Dream Fragrant Tea. This mixture and fusion didn't have any conflict, as though the calm and steady agarwood was placed in a dream-like place. It was totally able to let a person's tense up mind relax.

Once the fragrance entered the nose, it would disperse the entire body of fatigue.

It just so happened that when Liu Jie came out of the kitchen, he saw this scene. After the repeated surprises, Liu Jie was already accustomed, and his eyes were already opened up significantly. However, when seeing this scene, Liu Jie couldn't help being amazed again.

Instead of being amazed, it was better to say he was intoxicated.

As the crane shadows swirled with the sunset color, one could only describe this scene as 'seagulls and herons flying freely without worries'.

When Lin Yuan saw Liu Jie, he conveniently poured a cup of spirit tea for Liu Jie in the Dehua porcelain teacup. Liu Jie then put down the spoon sweets1 that he had just prepared in the kitchen.

Chapter 198: A Duel

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The spoon sweets were made with dozens of different Silver ingredients mixed with the Gold Elder Maple's maple syrup. It was a kind of extremely nutritious pre-meal dessert. Visitt nov𝒆lbin.c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

Liu Jie took the tea from Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan, I've already received the invitation to the private auction that I mentioned previously. It will be held at seven o'clock in the evening three days later on the third floor of the Rare Lifeform Pavilion."

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Has news of the source-type creatures spread?"

Liu Jie nodded solemnly and said, "The reason why the private auction is held is that two of the five members of this king-class team have comprehended a Willpower Rune in a Class 3 dimensional rift. In order to gather resources to exchange for high-grade feys that are suited to one's Willpower Rune, I heard that a total of three source-types items will be put on auction."

Liu Jie's words immediately piqued Lin Yuan's interest.

Lin Yuan had thought that there would only be one source-type item at this private auction.

It was normal to use source-type items as an attraction to promote this private auction.

However, he never expected that this private auction would auction off a total of three source-type items.

Lin Yuan thought that even if he couldn't obtain the source-type items that could provide him protection, at the very least, he could see if any spiritual energy items were suitable for the additional Willpower Rune in his spiritual energy.

As for this king-class team, others might not be able to produce Bronze feys with high quality, but for Lin Yuan, it was just a piece of cake.

Since the king-class team had chosen to auction these three source-type items, it meant that the conditions for the contract were not compatible with the king-class team.

However, the conditions of contracting each source-type creature were completely different.

These three source-type items weren't compatible with the king-class team, but they weren't necessarily incompatible with others. Lin Yuan wasn't too worried about this.

After lunch, Lin Yuan returned to his room.

Just as he was about to log in to Star Web, Lin Yuan's phone rang.

Lin Yuan picked up the call when he saw that it was from Zhang Xiaobai.

The moment he picked up the phone, Lin Yuan heard Zhang Xiaobai say:

"Black, do you have any exclusive reporters from Star Web?"

When Lin Yuan heard Zhang Xiaobai address him in that manner, he knew that it had something to do with his identity as Black.

If he called him in private, Zhang Xiaobai would directly call him Lin Yuan.

After hearing Zhang Xiaobai's words, Lin Yuan probably knew that it was because he had set up an automatic rejection of everybody on Star Web.

Star Web couldn't contact him, but they knew that he was familiar with Zhang Xiaobai and the others because of the battle outside Millstone Town. Thus, they sought him out through Zhang Xiaobai and the others via the Extreme Guild Club.

"I don't have any exclusive reporters, but I don't accept any interviews. It's too troublesome."

Zhang Xiaobai strongly agreed with him and said, "I think so too. Interviews are too troublesome."

At that moment, Lin Yuan heard Zhang Xiaobai exclaim right on the heels of Xin Ying taking the phone.

"Lin Yuan, I'm Xin Ying. You've already started the advancement matches for the Celestial Stairway. After you get on the Celestial Stairway, there will be recordings of your Star Web Tower battles in the Star Web Tower's video library. An exclusive reporter isn't just doing interviews, but is also responsible for all the news articles and combat reports related to you."

Xin Ying said it very seriously.

This was because there were less than 300 special columnists in the Star Web Tower.

If Lin Yuan could have such a Star Web column reporter and have them become an exclusive reporter, it would undoubtedly help his future development.

Furthermore, with an exclusive reporter, it could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble for Lin Yuan.

Xin Ying treated Lin Yuan as a friend, so she naturally had to consider many things from his perspective.

Xin Ying was a carefree person, but she was also meticulous, so she didn't want Lin Yuan to suffer from missing opportunities.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Sister Ying, help me reply to that Star Web reporter. I'll contact them on Star Web in a few days."

When Xin Ying heard that, she said, "The column reporter for Star Web is called Tian Ningning. I'll tell her to wait a while. When the time comes, if you and Tian Ningning have any requests you find disagreeable when discussing private, just reject them. Choose your exclusive reporter. The decision of the conditions is in your hands."

Xin Ying was previously afraid that Lin Yuan would miss the opportunity.

But now, Xin Ying was afraid that Lin Yuan would be at a disadvantage when discussing the exclusive reporter contract with Tian Ningning.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan couldn't help but give a knowing smile.

In the life-and-death battle under Millstone Town, perhaps Lin Yuan's greatest gain was four friends who had experienced life and death with him.

During the conversation he had with Xin Ying on the phone just now, Lin Yuan could sense that Xin Ying was concerned and considerate for him.

Lin Yuan didn't care much about the matter regarding an exclusive reporter.

However, since this Star Web column reporter named Tian Ningning had gone all the way to the Extreme Guild Club, she had already shown her sincerity.

Putting aside the matter of signing the contract, it was not a big problem to discuss it on Star Web.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan logged into Star Web.

Lin Yuan was already prepared for the Celestial Stairway advancement match. This was likely the biggest challenge since he had started climbing the tower.

When Lin Yuan arrived at the advancement zone, which was over 100 levels in Star Web Tower, he directly did a match-up.

There were a total of three rounds in the advancement match in Star Web Tower. Lin Yuan only needed to win two rounds to directly ascend the Celestial Stairway.

Soon, Lin Yuan was matched to his opponent.

Lin Yuan took a look at the other party's information and couldn't help but feel that the Wang Shuai he had met before couldn't be considered a Liver Emperor.

The person called Chen Hongfeng was the true Liver Emperor.

Lin Yuan was observing Chen Hongfeng's Star Web battle results, while Chen Hongfeng was also observing Lin Yuan's results.

Chen Hongfeng couldn't help but curse.

"You're Black! How did you achieve a 100% win rate? Have you never climbed Star Tower before?"

With that said, Chen Hongfeng looked up and said to the air, "Hey guys, I've encountered Black. Boss, I've encountered Black! This is awesome!"

At that moment, in the meeting room of the Dragon Gate Guild Club, Long Tao asked the bowl-cut Fang Duoduo, "Duoduo, who's Black? Why is Little Feng so agitated?"

Fang Duoduo, who was chewing on his chewing gum, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Long Tao.

Boss, how long has it been since you went on Star Web to read the forums? Now, how many people who browse the forums on Star Web wouldn't know about Black?

However, Fang Duoduo naturally didn't say those words. Therefore, he chose his words carefully.

Chapter 199: Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard and Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fang Duoduo had a sudden inspiration, and his eyes lit up as he said, "Boss, I heard that he's a healing-type spirit qi professional who has reached the Star Tower's 100th floor with a 100% winning rate and obtained the qualification for the Celestial Stairway promotion duels."

When Fang Duoduo said this, he emphasized the words 'healing-type spirit qi professional'. It was as though he was reminding Long Tao that he had told him about this before.

However, Long Tao did not get Fang Duoduo's meaning and said with considerable interest, "A healing-type spirit qi professional can climb the tower with a 100% winning rate? That's interesting!"

As soon as Long Tao spoke, Fang Duoduo could not help but ridicule, How is that interesting? It's simply too interesting!

Then, Long Tao suddenly asked, "Didn't I let Hongfeng hone his combat skills lately? How would he know Black?"

Fang Duoduo chuckled and replied, "How would I know? But Chen Hongfeng is very hardworking."

Despite saying so, he was already observing a moment of silence for Chen Hongfeng.

Chen Hongfeng was the Dragon Gate Guild Club S Tournament reserve team member. As the Radiance Hundred Sequence #3, Long Tao was the Dragon Gate Guild Club S Tournament Team's captain. Long Tao thought highly of Chen Hongfeng, who was currently in the reserve team and planned to focus on his training.

However, in Fang Duoduo's opinion, whoever Long Tao thought highly of and wanted to train was simply unlucky.

Chen Hongfeng used to be such an affable fat nerd. In four months, Long Tao had trained him into a skinny nerd.

Sure enough, Long Tao said, "He's not serious in his training. After he logs off Star Web, tell him to train with another 100 duels."

Fang Duoduo silently lit a white candle for Chen Hongfeng in his heart.

At that moment, Long Tao exclaimed, "How come he looks so familiar?"

Long Tao looked at Black, who was standing opposite Chen Hongfeng, and felt that this silver-masked person's aura made him feel like he had a deep impression of him. It was as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Fang Duoduo interrupted, "You've trained Chen Hongfeng for almost six months. Of course, you're familiar with him."

Long Tao looked at Fang Duoduo as though he was looking at an idiot. Then, he ignored Fang Duoduo and looked at Chen Hongfeng's live-streaming room.

Regardless of whether this silver-masked Black had a familiar aura, Long Tao would really like to see how a healing-type spirit qi professional had reached the Celestial Stairway promotion duels with a 100% winning streak.

When Fang Duoduo received Long Tao's gaze, he shuddered. Why did I have to slack off and watch Chen Hongfeng's live streaming with Long Tao?

Wouldn't it have been good if I had gone to train with my teammates in the training room?

After Chen Hongfeng had said that to his live-streaming room, he completely ignored the fact that he was live streaming. Instead, he focused all his energy on the duel at the moment. However, his live-streaming room was in an uproar.

Breeze Supporting the Willow: "Just now, Chen Hongfeng shouted 'Boss'. Does it prove that Sequence #3 Lord Overflowing Sea is also watching this live stream? I can actually watch a live stream with Lord Overflowing Sea! This is really too blissful!"

Dark Moon Falling Wind: "Ahhh! It's Lord Black! I want to see how strong he is!"

Your Little Fairy Is With Me: "I can't deal with this! I'm going to faint from excitement!"

Why Is Chemistry So Hard: "That's nothing! I've already peed my pants! I didn't even move and was ready to watch this duel first."

Chen Hongfeng did not rush to summon his fey. He looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Black, I'm going to end your winning streak after this duel."

Lin Yuan did not say a word and summoned Chimey and Red Thorn. The moment he did that, Chen Hongfeng also summoned his two feys.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted upon seeing that. These two feys were lizards. One of them had blue-and-black skin, with teeth baring outward. Each of its teeth was over four inches. Its body was as strong as a giant elephant, with thick and strong limbs. This was a humongous hideous-looking lizard with an eight-meter body and four-meter height. Its body seemed to be brimming with energy and a burst of power.

The other fey was a strange-looking lizard over one meter. Its entire body was covered with dark-green-and-brown stripes. It had a huge tail on its back like a shield protecting the front of its body. This lizard's body was only the size of a watermelon, but its tail was over ten times larger than its body.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check these two feys' data.

First fey:

[Fey Name]: Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard

[Fey Species]: Toothed Lizard/Monitor Lizard

[Fey Grade]: Gold (6/10)

[Fey Type]: Water

[Fey Quality]: Flawless

Abilities: Visitt nov𝒆lbin.c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

[Tragic Claws]: Rapidly swing claws. While it tears the target, the claws' mucus will penetrate the target, causing blood retention.

[Smooth Tooth Tear]: After biting the target, it will quickly shake its head and tear the target while rotating its body to twist off large pieces of flesh.

[Oily Mucus]: The body secretes a lot of Oily Mucus, which can effectively resist physical damage.

[Wave Stepping Strike]: Stimulate the water-element energy in the body to smash with full strength.

Exclusive Skill:

[Blood Burning Strike]: Burns all the water-element energy and blood in its body to launch a fatal attack through its tongue. It will enter a near-death state after the attack.

Second fey:

[Fey Name]: Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard

[Fey Species]: Tailed Lizard/Scaled Lizard

[Fey Grade]: Gold (8/10)

[Fey Type]: Water/Earth

[Fey Quality]: Flawless

Abilities:

[Stinky Mud]: Shoots out highly corrosive and stinky mud containing pathogenic bacteria.

[Stinky Swamp]: Creates a stinky swamp within a small area around itself. If a target steps on it, he will be dragged deeper into the swamp by the sinking force.

[Mud Evasion]: Can hide in the stinky swamp and rely on it to avoid damage.

[Corrosive Mud Downpour]: Channels the earth-element and water-element in the body to make a downpour formed by Stinky Mud.

Exclusive Skill:

[Broken Tail Regrowth]: When the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard faces a fatal attack, it can use its tail to block the damage. It will break its tail and escape before rapidly using its body's energy to grow out a new tail.

Upon seeing these two feys' data, Lin Yuan knew that he was about to face an arduous battle. They were very outstanding in terms of abilities and exclusive skills.

One of them had returned to its ancestry line, while the other had undergone spiritual mutation. They were an excellent match with their control and burst of power.

Lin Yuan knew that if he made a mistake or was careless, he would lose this duel. But at the same time, this disadvantageous battle made him ignite his warm blood. This fervor was just like when he had resisted the insect tide outside Millstone Town.

On the dueling ground, Lin Yuan commanded Red Thorn to launch an offensive attack.

Chapter 200: Black, You've Been Fooled

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Red Thorn spewed a huge amount of spores out of its spore cavity and formed a large sea of flowers thanks to its energy transmission.

It was not stingy with its energy for this duel. Under Lin Yuan's command, it had spread the sea of flowers as much as possible to cover the dueling ground.

The Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard was not idle either. It had used its ability, Stinky Swamp, to create a swamp nearly ten square meters. Since it was a spell-type unit, this ability allowed it to hide and avoid damage. That way, it could constantly use Stinky Mud or Corrosive Mud Downpour to attack from the back.

It lifted the mud toward Red Thorn's child ramets, but what happened next secretly surprised Chen Hongfeng.

Its highly corrosive mud caused little damage to the sea of flowers. Lin Yuan did not find this surprising, as everything was within his expectations.

Red Thorn had to devour a large amount of dimensional lifeforms' flesh daily. So far, it had devoured much flesh from Class 3 dimensional lifeforms, which were equivalent to Gold feys. This included the highly corrosive Class 3 alien insect, Acid Tapeworm. It had eaten the Acid Tapeworm with relish, without being affected at all. Therefore, its child ramets and ramets had high immunity against corrosion.

At that moment, the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard wanted to expand the swamp into the sea of flowers. It jumped to the edge of the sea of flowers and was prepared to use its Gold ability, Corrosive Mud Downpour.

Just then, Lin Yuan immediately summoned a fey that he had never summoned in the duel, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly. He had released its skill, Silence Scale Powder, through Morbius on his wrist in the past.

Unfortunately, Morbius' Silence Scale Powder was not as powerful as the one the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly released.

Once the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly appeared, a blue-purple glow flashed. As it flashed a few times, it disappeared into the sea of flowers. The scattered scale powder appeared as though it had created a light-purple mist. However, this magnificent mist was a complete disaster for the spiritually mutated Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard.

The adhesive Silence Scale Powder landed on its body. As a result, the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard tried to form the Corrosive Mud Downpour but failed.

As soon as the Silence Scale Powder came in contact with it, it caused it to lose its sensing ability of the water and earth elements.

The Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, a legendary lifeform that had only existed in ancient texts, appeared for the first time in this duel before everyone's eyes. It set off a storm no less than when Black had appeared.

After the Spirit Qi Awakening, the top ten most beautiful feys would be evaluated every year. The Blue Flash Butterfly could have been in the top five based on its beauty, but due to its weak ability at high grades, it had been ranked ninth.

Now that Lin Yuan had summoned the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, it proved that the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly did exist among the Blue Flash Butterflies. At the same time, it also confirmed the authenticity of the ancient texts.

This year, the Blue Flash Butterfly might even have the qualification to reach the top three among the ten most beautiful feys.

When Chen Hongfeng saw the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, he fell in a daze.

At that moment, Lin Yuan controlled Red Thorn to transmit most of its energy near the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard that the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly's Silence Scale Powder had controlled.

Soon, Red Thorn's most powerful ramets quickly spawned. The ramets' vines grabbed the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard, which had been controlled by the Silence Scale Powder and could not sense the water and earth elements. Nêww 𝒄hapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(𝒆)

Chen Hongfeng had come back to his senses from his trance. Upon seeing that the vines had thorns, he felt things were bad.

The Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard was a helpless target. If it was dragged into the large sea of flowers, how could it still make it out alive?

Thus, he shouted and ordered the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard to use its exclusive skill, Broken Tail Regrowth. After breaking its tail, it immediately became the size of a watermelon, and its tiny body scurried back into the swamp it had spawned. The swamp was slowly dispersing the Silence Scale Powder on its body.

At that moment, Lin Yuan supplied his spiritual power to the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, which immediately released a large amount of Silence Scale Powder. This light-purple mist was like cherry blossom snow in the midsummer.

The scale powder fell with a unique halo, reflecting the swamp like a fairyland.

Lin Yuan used the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly to seal the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard's movements.

The swamp that the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard had created was too small, and its body had been covered with the Silence Scale Powder, so it could not create the swamp again.

Therefore, the entire stinky swamp, which was less than ten square meters, was heavily mixed with the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly's Silence Scale Powder, causing it to become a forbidden ground that isolated any elements. This forbidden ground had restricted its movements.

Red Thorn's sea of flowers had surrounded this swamp, and a large number of Elite ramets encircled it.

Although the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard was a Gold VIII/Flawless fey, it did not have a powerful defense. If it scurried out, it would not have so many tails to break in the sea of flowers. Thus, it would be torn apart by the large sea of flowers into pieces.

Chen Hongfeng had a hideous expression at present, as he had not expected that Black would cripple his fey. It made him feel very passive. Likewise, Lin Yuan did not have it easy either.

Since Lin Yuan did not use the Spirit Qi Imprint, he had almost used up his body's spiritual power. He had supplied a large amount of spirit qi to the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly and Red Thorn's ortet, which allowed the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard to be sealed.

Although he could solve this problem with the Spirit-Gather Goldfish's Spirit Qi Imprint, he did not plan to use it in any of the tower-climbing duels. Once he used the Spirit Qi Imprint and the spiritual power inside was released, it could only be stopped after exhausting all the spiritual power.

The Spirit Qi Imprint was one of Lin Yuan's trump cards to survive in the real world. If he had not unsealed the Spirit Qi Imprint, he would not have been able to create a sea of flowers at Millstone Town that was enough to fight against the pinnacle Class 1 insect tide.

Thus, up to now, this duel was his real tough battle.

Chen Hongfeng's remaining Gold VI/Flawless Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard was a fey that relied on brute force. Although it would enter a near-death state after using one of its exclusive skills, Blood Burning Strike, its burst of power would likely finish off Lin Yuan.

Chen Hongfeng had commanded the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard to charge toward Lin Yuan and Red Thorn's ortet.

Even though the small sea of flowers that Red Thorn had spawned could cause damage to the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard, it could do nothing about the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard, which had returned to its ancestry line.

Lin Yuan could even vaguely sense a trace of a dragon-species fey from the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard's body. It seemed that this Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard's body vaguely had the possibility of returning to its ancestral line of a Liopleurodon.

The Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard used its Gold ability, Wave Stepping Strike, and dashed. Just as it was running, it suddenly experienced intense pain and roared in pain.

Lin Yuan's Gold I/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had been hidden in an inconspicuous child ramet. When the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard was close, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee used Wing Stealth, allowing it to cover her tracks silently and use Two-Strike Kill on the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard's abdomen. Two long, slender abdominal stingers stung into the abdomen and injected venom into the body.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's two abdominal stingers contained two kinds of acid-corrosion venom that instantly disintegrated the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard's abdomen into a bucket-sized hole. As soon as this hole appeared, many of its internal organs were affected by gravity and congested in this hole.

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's sudden attack had completely caught the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard off guard.

Even though the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had gotten an advantage, it did not retreat right away. Instead, it stung the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard's weakest organs congested in the hole.

It was still not over yet, even when it had shattered the organs. It even cruelly gave birth to a Parasitic Pupa.

When the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard roared in pain and swept over with its tail, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee used Wing Stealth to dodge into the flowers.

This large sea of flowers was the best battlefield and most helpful protection for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.

Because of the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's set of abilities, the spirit qi in Lin Yuan's body had almost reached rock bottom. If it wasn't for Red Thorn's thornless vine supporting Lin Yuan, he would have instantly collapsed to the ground due to the spirit qi's exhaustion that caused him to be weak.

As Lin Yuan used the last bit of spiritual power in his body to use the Spirit-Gather Goldfish's Spirit Injection, he commanded Red Thorn to use its vines to block the action of him doing so.

At that moment, Chen Hongfeng did not worry about the Smooth-Tooth Elephant Lizard's injuries. Instead, he suddenly wore a smile on his face, showing that he was determined to win, and said, "It's close enough. Black, you've been fooled!"
