1851 Time to Organize the Spirit Lock Spatial Zone!

Ever since Lin Yuan transformed Shadow, and it nestled itself in the warmth of Sky City, Shadow had been suppressing its true nature.

Devils had bad habits, and so did demons. It could even be said that demons were even more enslaved to their bad habits than devils were.

Shadow had been controlling itself for far too long and was anxious to unleash its brutal side.

It delightedly promised Lin Yuan, "Lord Dictator, it will willingly kneel before you the next time you see it. It will be nothing more than a loyal puppy by your feet!"

When Lin Yuan heard what Shadow said, he stored Shadow and Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil in the spatial ring.

It was time for Shadow to perform.

Lin Yuan was not interested in seeing exactly what Shadow did to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil because he had more important things to do.

He had to use the well water that had been accumulating in the Element Well to prepare more types of pure elemental energy.

Lin Yuan already had water-, fire-, earth-, and wind-elemental energy. In fact, he had as many types of them as he wanted.

After all, the four Elemental Shellfish were continuously producing heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Lin Yuan wanted to nurture the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, so he could increase its power.

As such, he needed to prepare other types of elemental energy.

Since the Element Well appeared, Lin Yuan had been using the water sparingly.

As such, there was a significant amount of water at the bottom of the Element Well. It would fill six to seven bowls without issue.

Besides pure water-, fire-, earth-, and wind-elemental energy, the Moon Empress had given him ten of the Dark Crystal Armored Insects, ten of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotuses, five of the Plasma Snails, five of the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies, and one of the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp which were mediums for five types of pure elemental energy.

Lin Yuan also had the Blood Brew Grape from the Blood Brew Grapevine. This meant that Lin Yuan also possessed blood energy.

This meant that Lin Yuan had exactly ten types of pure elemental energies.

However, Lin Yuan needed to nurture all the feys that the Moon Empress had given him before the Element Well could use the resources they produced to concoct elemental energies.

This would take some time.

This time would be perfect for teaching the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil obedience.

The Dark Crystal Armored Insects had an unassuming appearance as all of them were only around the size of a fingernail.

If a spirit qi professional who was not a Creation Master saw the Dark Crystal Armored Insect, they might mistake it for the Gray Beetle.

But if the Dark Crystal Armored Insect was nurtured by pure spirit qi, its shell would fall away from its body and crystallize instantly.

The shell that fell off would automatically absorb light from the surroundings. This would cause the surface of the shell to be covered with a layer of starlight.

Currently, Lin Yuan only had five of the Dark Crystal Armored Insects.

Hu Quan had used the Dark Mystic Martial Rock to create a container to store the Dark Crystal Armored Insects in.

The container was only around half a square foot large, but it was very spacious for the five Dark Crystal Armored Insects.

Now, Lin Yuan could store these ten new Dark Crystal Armored Insects in the container as well.

Since the Dark Crystal Armored Insect was armored insect species, it was not territorial.

Although they also had their own hierarchy, the 15 Dark Crystal Armored Insects would not attack each other as long as they were supplied with sufficient spirit qi. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

The ten Dark Crystal Armored Insects that were added into the container quickly gathered in the corner and started to absorb pure spirit qi.

Lin Yuan plucked out three shells that had fallen not long ago and closed the container.

With these feys, Lin Yuan had taken possession of numerous types of pure elemental energy.

These types of pure elemental energy were extremely valuable and could be considered foundational resources.

Lin Yuan had not organized the Spirit Lock spatial zone in a long time.

Ever since the Spirit Lock spatial zone expanded to 400 square meters, Lin Yuan no longer had to try to conserve space like when it had only been 80 square meters large.

Moreover, the true use of the Spirit Lock spatial zone did not involve taking up a large amount of space.

The rate of resource production of the Spirit Lock spatial zone came from the rate at which the spirit pool broke down the energy ores.

The feys that needed to absorb spirit qi were all greedy for spirit qi.

Moreover, there was also Universe.

Lin Yuan no longer needed to remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to lay out the coral jades and other spiritual ingredients in order for the spirit pool to break down the energy ores to produce spirit qi.

Nonetheless, it was still his private space, and it was time for him to organize the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Through his will, he instructed the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to use chains made of wind-elemental energy to arrange the items in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Yuan was done arranging the 400-square-meter space.

The size of the platane wood shelves and tables no longer suited the current size of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Lin Yuan decided that when he went to the Divine Wood Federation, he would ask Hu Quan to use some rare wood to make new furniture for the Spirit Lock spatial zone. In less than a day, the furniture would turn jade-textured.

While he was instructing the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to arrange the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan specifically set aside a space of about 40 square meters.

Lin Yuan took out a strip of grass that had the Faint Fragrance Grass growing on it.

The Faint Fragrance Grass was an advanced strip of grass specially nurtured by Condense Fairy Orchard to plant fortuitous feys.

It could release water vapor and had cleaning effects. It would also release a faint fragrance.

Lin Yuan covered the 40 square meters with the strip of Faint Fragrance Grass.

A special type of wood-elemental energy was needed to nurture the Faint Fragrance Grass. As such, it did not have a strong reaction to concentrated spirit qi.

When the Faint Fragrance Grass was submerged in a high concentration of pure spirit qi, it did not start to evolve or mutate.

The only thing that changed was that the grass became more luxurious. When Lin Yuan stepped on it, he felt as though he was stepping on a thick green carpet.

1852 Lin Yuan Creates a Nest!

Although the Faint Fragrance Grass would not evolve or mutate when exposed to concentrated pure spirit qi, its grade would still rise continuously.

Even if Lin Yuan left the Faint Fragrance Grass to its own devices, it would quickly raise itself from Bronze to Gold.

Once it reached Gold, small flowers would start growing out of the green carpet.

These flowers did not have any special uses, but they were very pleasant to admire.

However, Lin Yuan was still a man. He did not lay out this strip of grass for decorative purposes. Rather, he wanted to provide the feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone that could produce spirit qi with the best environment.

Lin Yuan placed the container that stored the 15 Dark Crystal Armored Insects on the strip of grass.

Next, he placed the Elemental Shellfish at the center of the grass strip so that the elemental pearls that were spat out by the Elemental Shellfish would land on the grass.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would then pick them up swiftly and sort them into their respective chests that were next to the Pure Land of Bliss.

All the chests were sectioned into four.

Given the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope's intelligence, it could easily separate the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls based on their outer layers.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was increasingly living up to its role as a housekeeper.

Lin Yuan did not need to do anything special to the Moonlight Sleeping Lotuses because the Moon Empress had already planted them in pots made of moonstone.

Lin Yuan only needed to place these pots on the grass strip. Once the Moonlight Sleeping Lotuses absorbed sufficient pure spirit qi, the lotuses that contained pure light-elemental energy would eventually fall on their own.

Once the five Plasma Snails were triggered by spirit qi, they would release plasma. If the plasma came in contact with other feys, it would cause damage.

When Lin Yuan went to the Miao family's residence, Miao Zhenshan had given a flower sculpture carved from agate in order to please him.

The agate flower was hollowed out and could separate elemental energy.

Lin Yuan placed the five Plasma Snails into the agate flower and set it on a platter made of Gold Destiny Separating Crystal Gold.

From now on, Lin Yuan could retrieve the Plasma Snail's secretions from the platter whenever he needed it.

Compared to the Dark Crystal Armored Insects, Moonlight Sleeping Lotuses, and Plasma Snails, the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were more difficult to handle.

The pure wood-elemental energy that came from the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies came from their pupas. As such, the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were consumable feys.

Lin Yuan did not want the five Wood-Building Winged Sandflies to disappear once they turned into pups. As such, he built a nest for them first so they could procreate.

He would then nurture the young Wood-Building Winged Sandflies until they reached adulthood and repeat the process of procreation before they turned into pupas.

This way, Lin Yuan would not only be able to ensure that he had enough of the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupas but also have a store of its eggs that he could trade for resources.

Besides trading for resources, Lin Yuan also had a great need for the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies.

Both the Jasmine Lily and Red Thorn were plants and benefited greatly from pure wood-elemental energy.

If the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupa was buried in the Twin Red Pagoda's pot, the pure wood-elemental energy it produced would enable the Twin Red Pagoda to grow quickly and produce the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire again.

Thus, when Lin Yuan created a nest for the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies, he used the best jade-textured wood in his possession.

After he bundled the jade-textured wood together, Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to produce feathers made of the Day and Night Spirit Silver and started digging out holes in the jade-textured wood. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

Using the sharp Day and Night Spirit Silver to dig holes in the jade-textured wood was very easy. However, it took Lin Yuan around 15 minutes to complete this task.

Lin Yuan used his crude carving skills to dig many holes in the bundled jade-textured wood until it resembled a wasp nest.

Lin Yuan did not feel any reluctance at all. Rather, he was extremely satisfied.

He was confident that he had dug out enough holes for the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies to them. Thus, the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were not afraid of him.

18:17

continuously build and rebuild nests.

When other Creation Masters nurtured the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly, they would be afraid that it would die after it laid eggs.

Even with the utmost care, only one out of the two to five eggs that the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly laid would survive.

But with the nourishment from the pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it was guaranteed that none of the eggs would be lost.

Thus, even if Lin Yuan did not invest any effort into taking care of the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies, he would be able to obtain more and more of their pupas.

The jade-textured wood would be the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies' food.

Lin Yuan did not waste the jade-textured wood that he had dug out from the bundle. Instead, he instructed the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to collect them and pile them up neatly.

When the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were seeking food, they would naturally head for the pile of jade-textured wood scraps. They would only start to eat their nest if they were desperate.

Once the Source Sand moved the large pile of jade-textured wood scraps onto the strip of grass, he released the five Wood-Building Winged Sandflies.

He had already fed the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies pure spirit qi by hand before he released them. Thus, the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were not afraid of him.

Once the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies came into contact with the pure spirit qi, it was as though the procreation genes in their bodies were triggered, and their lifespans were shortened.

Once the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies saw the jade-textured wood, they immediately started nesting, laying eggs, and turning into pupas.

Now that Lin Yuan was done handling the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies, only the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp was left.

The Ice Sealing Frozen Carp did not produce water-elemental energy but could turn pure water-elemental energy into ice-elemental energy of the same quality.

Lin Yuan currently had two possible plans in front of him.

The first was to breed the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp in the amazonite tank and add in powdered heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that had outer layers so that the powdered pearls could dissolve inside the tank. He would do this until a large amount of sediment collected at the bottom of the tank because this meant that the amazonite tank was fully saturated with water-elemental energy.

Once the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp transformed the water-elemental energy, Lin Yuan would be able to collect the ice-elemental energy.

1853 The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil is Hurt!

The method would be too wasteful. It involved using water from the Element Well to concoct pure water-elemental energy, then using the water from the Element Well to nurture the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp in order to obtain pure ice-elemental energy from it.

There was no question that the second method was more convenient.

However, Lin Yuan still chose the first option because the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp would absorb a portion of water-elemental energy when it turned water-elemental energy into ice-elemental energy.

Every drop of water from the Element Well was invaluable. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan did not want to waste even a single drop.

Since he had made his choice, Lin Yuan added Grasswood Fountain Water into the amazonite tank before he placed the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp into the tank.

Grasswood Fountain Water contained vitality.

Without water-elemental energy, the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp would cause the temperature of the Grasswood Fountain Water to drop, but it would not freeze.

Lin Yuan did not have to scrimp or save when he used the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Out of all the Elemental Shellfish, Lin Yuan had the most of the Aquamarine Elemental Shellfish. This was enough to meet the Floating Island Whale's needs as well as maintain his trades with Yin Lin.

Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to grind up 100 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers.

He poured the crushed heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls into the amazonite tank. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

Grasswood Fountain Water had extremely strong harmonizing effects and quickly dissolved the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl powder.

At that moment, the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp turned the entire tank of water cold.

Lin Yuan knew that he had poured in more than enough heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl powder. It would be enough to last the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp for some time.

Now, Lin Yuan only needed to wait for time to pass, and he would be able to collect the resources that could be used to nurture the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Lin Yuan had already been in the Spirit Lock spatial zone for about an hour.

Now that he was free, he decided to see how Shadow was coming along in teaching the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

As such, he let Shadow and Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil out of the ring.

Shadow had shattered the purple and gold cage that contained the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil long ago.

Shadow was standing while the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was cowering while staring at Shadow with terror.

At that moment, Shadow had a guilty expression.

When it accepted the task from Lin Yuan, it had promised that it would make the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil bow before him.

It had been confident in its methods but had not anticipated the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to be so stubborn. It had put in a lot of effort but still failed to make the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil submit in the short time span it had promised.

Although the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was plenty scared of Lin Yuan and it would not attack him even when it was out of the cage, it still had not reached the extent of the promise that Shadow had made to Lin Yuan.

Shadow lowered its head and said softly, "Lord Dictator, I wasn't able to fulfill my promise to you. I am useless!"

Lin Yuan shook his head. He did not blame Shadow in the slightest.

If intermediate demons were so easy to break, the young elites from the Freedom Federation and members of royalty like the Goddess of Mercy would not have been plagued with headaches about contracting them.

It was only to be expected that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was difficult to discipline.

Lin Yuan was already surprised by how much Shadow had achieved in such a short span of time.

"Shadow, since you aren't done teaching the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil yet, you can continue doing so," said Lin Yuan.

Shadow nodded seriously. It was not going to go east on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil trembled when it heard what Lin Yuan said.

Nothing had been more terrifying in its mind than the seven major devils. But now, it feared Lin Yuan even more.

When the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil first met Lin Yuan, it had developed positive feelings for him.

Devils were all lustful and cunning, regardless of gender.

Lin Yuan's appearance easily met the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's standard for beauty.

Additionally, Lin Yuan possessed seemingly endless pure spirit qi. The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil needed this badly.

If not for these reasons, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would not have taken the initiative to try and gain his favor and was even willing to form a contract with him.

Regardless, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil did not want to be locked in the spatial ring and tortured by the executioner-like dwarf any longer.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil placed its hands on the floor and adjusted its tunic as it prepared to climb to its feet.

At that instant, Shadow's aura landed on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, preventing it from standing up.

Although Shadow had not fulfilled its promise to Lin Yuan and so the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would not willingly bow respectfully to Lin Yuan, it was already at Shadow's limit to allow the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to crouch in front of Lin Yuan. It would not allow the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to stand up in front of Lin Yuan.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil said in a panicked tone, "I can listen to you! As long as you provide me with resources and don't harm me, I will do what you say!"

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's tone was full of alarm, and its natural voice was already shrill. Thus, although its words showed weakness, they sounded like a provocation.

Lin Yuan returned Shadow and Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil into the spatial ring so Shadow could continue to mold the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

At the instant that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil entered the ring, it became certain that this handsome human could not be defied.

I've already demonstrated my submission, but this human still isn't satisfied. What does he want from me? Do I have no other choice but to be enslaved?

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had no idea that its misunderstanding came from a loss in translation.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan would still have instructed Shadow to continue disciplining the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil if he understood what the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil said.

This was because, during Lin Yuan's battle against Han Qi and Lu Ou, he learned about how a devil's character could affect a spirit qi professional.

During a battle, only a clear mind would enable one to make the most accurate analyses.

1854 I Hope You Stay Safe and Well!

Due to the influence of his higher devil, Lu Ou had become increasingly agitated during the battle.

After Han Qi fused with his higher devil, the devil started dictating his actions.

Thus, despite not being afraid of contracting devils, Lin Yuan still had to ensure that his devil submitted to him.

Moreover, the Goddess of Mercy had repeatedly stressed the devils' bad habits. Something that she had repeatedly stressed had to be something that had tripped her up in the past.

As such, Lin Yuan would try his best to avoid it if he could.

After all, Shadow would change the force it used in order to keep the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil alive.

The eggs that the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies had laid still needed some time before they turned into pupas.

The Plasma Snails also had not produced a significant amount of secretions yet.

As such, Lin Yuan left the Spirit Lock spatial zone to go and have his meal.

Since Liu Jie still had not returned from the Spirit Guards' land yet, Lu Pinru was in charge of dinner.

Although Lu Pinru was not as skilled as Liu Jie when it came to cooking, she was still better than Lin Yuan and Wen Yu.

Through Lin Yuan's battle against the Freedom Federation envoy group, Chu Ci thoroughly realized how lacking she was. She now knew how much her brother had silently endured as he shielded her.

Hence, Chu Ci contacted Cold Moon to request to go out to train.

Cold Moon was happy that Chu Ci was so eager to improve and agreed to the request.

She decided to take Chu Ci to Cloud Lake City before school began so Chu Ci could face off against dimensional lifeforms that emerged from the dimensional rift. This would train Chu Ci's fighting skills.

When Cold Moon accepted Chu Ci as her disciple, Lin Yuan told her that he wanted to be the one to prepare feys for Chu Ci.

Cold Moon was not opposed to this. She could tell that even before Lin Yuan became the Moon Empress' disciple, he did all he could to leave the best things for his sister.

When Chu Ci and Lin Yuan reunited recently, he gave her the Nirvana Blaze Butterfly.

The Nirvana Blaze Butterfly was a special defense-type fey and fit in with Chu Ci's combat system.

It would be easy for Cold Moon to obtain a powerful fey for Chu Ci. However, she had no idea how she would go about obtaining a fey like the Nirvana Blaze Butterfly that was so illusionary and whose method of nurturing it was still unknown.

Chu Ci had contracted a new fey, and her feys' grades were all evolved. What she needed now was to firm up her combat skills.

The decision to go out to train had been impulsive, and Chu Ci had not told Lin Yuan about it yet.

When Chu Ci saw Lin Yuan now, she said, "Big Brother, I have spoken with Teacher, and the two of us will be going out to Cloud Lake City to train tomorrow morning. A month later, I still start my final semester at Redbud City."

When Lin Yuan heard that Chu Ci was going out to train tomorrow, he could not help but feel reluctance.

As her older brother, he did not like her immersing herself in danger.

Although she would be with Cold Moon at Cloud Lake City so Chu Ci would not be in any real danger, there was no doubt that she would have a difficult time. This was inevitable.

When Lin Yuan went out to train and increase his power, he also had to experience many more challenges that regular people would not have to go through.

Chu Ci had already decided to go out and train and had agreed on it with Cold Moon. No matter how reluctant Lin Yuan was, he could not hold her back.

She only addressed him as 'big brother' when she was revealing her true feelings or when she wanted to ask him for something. In all other situations, she called him by his name.

He knew that Chu Ci was reluctant to leave him too!

Lin Yuan reached out and pressed down the stray hairs on Chu Ci's head as he said softly, "Chu Ci, I will be very busy for the next two years. I might not always be in the Radiance Federation. But I will definitely be here to send you to school for your next semester and attend all parent-teacher meetings."

In the past, if Chu Ci heard that Lin Yuan would be busy for two years and he would only make time to see her when she started school, she would feel a strong twinge of sadness.

But she no longer felt this way.

From the battle with the Freedom Federation envoy group, Chu Ci saw the duty that Lin Yuan carried.

He would not have been able to become so powerful if he had not worked tirelessly.

For the first time since Chu Ci grew up, she hugged him like when she was a child and said, "Big Brother, don't force yourself if it ever becomes too difficult! I only hope that you're safe and well!"

Lin Yuan had intended to immediately return to the Spirit Lock spatial zone after the meal.

But since Chu Ci was going to leave tomorrow, Lin Yuan spent two hours watching television with her before they played two rounds of the Battle Flag game.

He only returned to his room and then to the Spirit Lock spatial zone after he put her to bed.

From the moment he entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone, alarm bells rang in Lin Yuan's head.

He could not help but feel like he had forgotten something.

Oh my God! I've kept Shadow and the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil inside the spatial ring for at least three hours! Doesn't this mean that Shadow has been disciplining the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil for at least four hours? The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil might be a devil, but such a punishment might even be too much for it!

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and hurriedly let Shadow and the Flower Calamity Beautiful Demon out of the spatial ring. RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

Once it was released, Shadow seemed to be panting. It was likely that it had expended a substantial amount of effort in order to discipline the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. It was not easy to tire out a demon that had reached Immortal.

When Lin Yuan turned his eyes onto the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, he saw that it was trembling.

Once it saw Lin Yuan, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil wrapped its arms around itself and respectfully knelt in front of him with its head lowered. It was as though it was a lowly speck of dirt.

Lin Yuan gave Shadow a thumbs up.

Not bad! Shadow's disciplining of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.

Lin Yuan was curious about what methods Shadow had used in order to discipline a devil to this extent.

Since Shadow was done disciplining the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, Lin Yuan decided to communicate with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yuan summoned Genius and relayed his instruction.

Soon, a belt that was transformed from a tail linked Lin Yuan and the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil together.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil could sense that Lin Yuan was reading its thoughts through this belt.

1855 The Fully Obedient Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil!

However, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil that had been disciplined by Shadow dared not show any form of opposition. Rather, it had lost its ability to fight back.

At that moment, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was fully vulnerable to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan assumed that a devil's heart would be muddled and filthy with slyness, greed, and wickedness.

But when Lin Yuan looked into the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's heart, what he found was completely different.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's heart was filled with fear and submission. No matter what order Lin Yuan issued, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would instantly jump into action.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had lost even its most basic characteristics.

Lin Yuan looked at Shadow with shock and wondered how it managed this feat.

Lin Yuan felt that he needed to carefully assess the situation before he assigned any tasks to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

He had only instructed Shadow to discipline the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil as a spur-of-the-moment idea. His inspiration had been to fight fire with fire. But it ended up being a great success.

If not for the enmity between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation, Lin Yuan would have made a windfall using Shadow to discipline devils for experts in the Freedom Federation.

Lin Yuan asked the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, "Do you have anything to say to me now?"

Lin Yuan's tone was gentle. If Shadow had not disciplined the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil yet, it would have prattled off numerous requests for Lin Yuan.

But now, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would not dare to do so. It kept its tone meek when it spoke to Lin Yuan for fear of setting off this young man with the face of an angel but a heart blacker than that of a devil. It was terrified that the young man would instruct the dwarf to start torturing it again.

As it thought about how it had suffered at the hands of the dwarf, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was certain that it was a pain that it would never be able to endure again.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil kowtowed to Lin Yuan.

The devil's voice was naturally sharp and sultry, but it tried its best to sound docile in order to come off as respectful as possible.

"Lord, I don't have any requests. I will do whatever you ask of me."

Lin Yuan now knew that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was ready to form a contract with him.

He walked over to it and pressed his hand down on its head as he circulated his soul power and formed a contract with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Lin Yuan had a reason for doing this.

He would see if the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil resisted during the contraction process and, through this, determine if it had truly submitted.

Although contracting a devil was not an easy thing, and any resistance on the devil's part could result in backlash and injury to the soul, Lin Yuan had two souls. They counted for a total of around 400 points.

One only needed a soul with around 160 points to form a contract with a devil.

Thus, even if the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil violently defied the process, Lin Yuan was confident that he would be able to overcome it.

Moreover, given the current state of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, Lin Yuan could not let Shadow have its way with it a third time because it might cause the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's survival instinct to be destroyed. If that happened, Lin Yuan would only be contracting a shell of a devil.

Lin Yuan's contraction of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil went extremely smoothly.

It only took an instant for him to contract the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil as his servant.

With such a contraction, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would not dare to use its character and will to influence Lin Yuan during their future fusions. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Now that the contraction was complete, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had become Lin Yuan's fey.

Lin Yuan always treated his feys well.

He instructed Shadow to recall its aura.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil obediently knelt on the ground and was finally allowed to absorb the pure spirit qi from the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Once the pure spirit qi entered its body, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil could not help but smile drunkenly.

But it suddenly remembered that Lin Yuan had not said that it could absorb the pure spirit qi inside this room.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil quivered.

Terror and submission had its greed fully under their thumb.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil forced itself to stop breathing in the pure spirit qi.

Instead, it started looking at Lin Yuan pleadingly as though it was asking for permission to absorb the pure spirit qi in the room.

Lin Yuan reached out his hand and pulled the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil up to its feet as he said, "As long as you serve me, you can absorb as much of the pure spirit qi in this room as you want. I will even evolve your bloodline to higher devil."

When Lin Yuan said that it could absorb as much of the pure spirit qi as it wanted, delight spread across the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's face.

But when it heard the latter part of what Lin Yuan said, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's delight turned to shock.

Eventually, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's body started trembling uncontrollably.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had experienced true hell at the hands of Shadow. But what Lin Yuan just said sent it straight to heaven.

No devil could resist the temptation of bloodline evolution.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was also very smart. Back at the Demon Church, it would absorb the spirit qi supplied by the Freedom Federation every day.

The purity of the spirit qi absorbed by the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil then could not be compared to the purity of the spirit qi in this room.

If this young man was able to possess so much pure spirit qi at his young age, it went without saying that he would be able to evolve the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bloodline.

Even devils would be fond of the person who shot them up to heaven.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil reached out its hand and touched the two curved horns on its head. It could not help but look forward to the day that it obtained four horns.

Before the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil could become overly hopeful, Lin Yuan took two green things out of a wooden pillar.

When he walked nearer, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil saw that the two green things were two insect pupas.

Lin Yuan took out the crystal bottle containing the Element Well's water and poured some of it while tossing the two Wood-Building Winged Sandfly pupas into the glass bowl alongside the water.

Soon, Lin Yuan saw a swatch of green spread from the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly pupas to the Element Well's water.

A moment later, the Element Well's water turned emerald green while the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly pupas disappeared.

1856 Flower Basket of Calamity

Both the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls and Wood-Building Winged Sandfly pupas would not allow the elemental energy within them to escape in order to maintain the purity of the elemental energy.

Thus, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had no idea what the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly pupas were when it saw them.

The Element Well could block spirit.

As such, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was confused when Lin Yuan handed the glass bowl to it. It had no idea what Lin Yuan was trying to do.

!

"Drink every drop of this water," said Lin Yuan.

There was an unspoken ban in the Demon Church. When devils were produced in the Demon Church, they did not possess human thoughts. In order to help them communicate with spirit qi professionals better, a scholarly spirit qi professional was assigned to be eaten by every newborn devil.

When the devil consumed the spirit qi professional, it would immediately be able to think for itself.

To a certain extent, the devil would also take on a part of the tastes of the human it consumed.

Hence, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil detested insects, especially fat ones.

However, Lin Yuan had already issued his instruction. Fear and submission won out over the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's distaste for insects, and it gulped down the green fluid.

Since Lin Yuan said that it had to finish every drop, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil even started to lick the bowl.

At that moment, elation erupted across the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's face because it sensed how pure the wood-elemental energy in the water was.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's true form was a female devil who wore a nun's tunic and had a breathtakingly beautiful face.

It did not have many accessories.

If Lin Yuan used the perspective from his past life, it came across as extremely poor.

Suddenly, the pattern of numerous green vines appeared all over the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's tunic. As such, the tunic was no longer as plain as it had been.

Circles of flowering vines wrapped around the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bare feet.

Rosy liveliness appeared in the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's cheeks. As such, its devil aura became blurred.

An emerald green flower basket weaved from vines appeared in the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's hands.

The vines that made up the flower basket were neither gold nor jade. The emerald green was mesmerizing. Follow the latest novels 𝒐𝒏 n𝒐

The green leaves that decorated the basket were layered. It was as though all the green in the world was contained in the flower basket. Due to this, the flower basket appeared extremely lush.

Before a devil was contracted, no one could say what would happen to it once it was contracted.

When the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was fed with various types of pure elemental energy, Calamity Flowers would bloom in its hand.

The Goddess of Mercy had been right about this, and so had the Moon Empress.

But before the Calamity Flowers were produced, the first elemental energy it absorbed would turn into the Flower Basket of Calamity.

From now on, this elemental energy would become the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's life elemental energy.

This first hint of elemental energy had determined the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's abilities.

Lin Yuan had no lack of combat abilities.

Thunder-, dark-, and fire-elemental energy were not suitable to become the Flower Basket of Calamity's life elemental energy.

Eventually, Lin Yuan decided that water-, earth-, and wood elemental energy were good choices.

Lin Yuan could fuse with Dark Blue and turn into a merman.

Now that he had contracted the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil and was about to contract a major sea devil that was also water-type, the strongest type of element in Lin Yuan's possession was water.

If the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's life elemental energy was water-type, Lin Yuan's water-type arsenal would be strengthened, and he would also become more powerful when he was in his merman form.

However, Lin Yuan was always afraid of becoming too specialized. He wanted to go down the path of being all-inclusive.

Thus, he gave up on water-type without hesitation.

If the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's life elemental energy was earth-type, its abilities would be skewed toward defense.

However, Lin Yuan's defensive abilities were covered by a three-pronged approach.

During the battle against the Freedom Federation envoy group, Lin Yuan had a taste of a battle to the death.

Offense would always be more useful than defense because it decided the direction of the battle.

Even if one was an impenetrable shell, one would only be able to be on the receiving end of beatings.

This was why although Liu Yifan was the Radiance Envoy and clearly the strongest in the team, he had seemed the least impressive.

As such, Lin Yuan eventually picked wood-type.

Wood-elemental energy was the most moderate out of all the types of elemental energy. It could be extended into combat, defense, healing, and control abilities.

Lin Yuan's combat system had already taken shape. The biggest benefit to Lin Yuan would only come from the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil choosing this moderate path.

Moreover, he would only use the best methods to nurture the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. With so much elemental energy, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would be able to become powerful even if it chose the moderate path.

At that moment, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil held onto the Flower Basket of Calamity excitedly and bowed to Lin Yuan to express its gratitude.

"Lord, thank you for improving me. With you around, I will definitely be able to become a higher devil. I will do all I can to serve you!"

Intermediate devils saw higher devils as pipe dreams. It was an obstacle that all of them would run into.

Although the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had believed Lin Yuan when he said he could nurture it into a higher devil, it did not understand his methods.

But now that it had experienced the methods for itself, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil estimated that it only needed four to five more types of pure elemental energy for its bloodline to evolve into higher devil.

The more types of pure elemental energy the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil absorbed, the stronger its bloodline would become.

Its power was related to the elemental energy it absorbed.

Lin Yuan did not know what the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was thinking.

He still had nine types of pure elemental energy that he had not fed to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil yet.

...

Lin Yuan instructed the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to bring over the four types of Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls.

After the Spirit Lock spatial zone's most recent evolution, the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls were no longer rare.

The next time he saw Hu Quan, Lin Yuan could upgrade his chain of pearls by asking Hu Quan to use the Wood Weaving House Centipede to create a chain of Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls.

1857 Bloodline Evolution into Higher Devil!

The four types of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were the easiest homogenized with the Element Well's water.

Lin Yuan took out another four glass bowls and filled them with water from the Element Well. Next, he took out three types of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls and placed them in the glass bowls.

Soon, the pure elemental energy inside the elemental pearls fully dissolved inside the Element Well's water.

The spirit qi professional that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had consumed was not aware of the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly pupas, but it knew of elemental pearls.

!

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil did not expect Lin Yuan to evolve it again immediately after evolving it.

The foundation of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's obedience was fear and submission. But now, the fear and submission were overshadowed by a special feeling.

This feeling was even more solid than love and affection.

Lin Yuan did not know what the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was thinking.

After he was done concocting the pure water-, fire-, earth-, and wind-elemental energy, Lin Yuan nodded at the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to indicate that it should drink up the four bowls of water.

At that moment, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil no longer yearned to evolve its bloodline.

It first thanked Lin Yuan in a gentle voice before it picked up the bowls one after another and drank up their contents.

When Lin Yuan evolved the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, he felt as though he was watching a dress-up pageant. Now, he was getting the same feeling as he watched the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil evolve its bloodline.

Tangerine red, blue, brown, and green appeared on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's tunic and shaped themselves into various flower patterns that were now embroidered on the tunic. This made the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil become even more charming.

Four flowers also appeared in the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's flower basket. Each of them was about the size of a palm and corresponded with the color of the flower embroideries on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's tunic.

The flowers were even more elegant than crystals yet still seemed harder than gems.

However, Lin Yuan did not see this as the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's biggest change.

The biggest change to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had to be to the two horns on its head.

A devil's horns were a symbol of their status.

At first, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had two long horns that sprouted side by side on its head. Now, they twisted down toward its head.

Two bumps appeared behind its ears. This was clearly the beginning of the growth of new horns.

Once these two horns grew out, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would evolve from an intermediate devil to a higher devil.

When Lin Yuan noticed this, he was happy but also suspicious.

Was it this easy to evolve a devil's bloodline? He had only used five out of ten types of the elemental energy that he possessed.

From the growth of the two bumps, it seemed as though it would be able to evolve into a higher devil once it absorbed one more type of pure elemental energy.

Lin Yuan did not possess all types of elemental energy.

If Lin Yuan wanted to, he could find more feys that could produce elemental energy.

If emperor sea demon was not the peak of the major sea demon bloodline, then higher devil was not the peak of the devil bloodline.

Lin Yuan could not help but become hopeful.

He wondered if the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would evolve past higher devil after he fed the remaining five types of pure elemental energy to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan filled another glass bowl with the Element Well's water and tossed in seven or eight Blood Brew Grapes. Th.ê most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n(0)velbj) /m

After the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil drank the water infused with pure blood energy, its aura intensified.

As its aura exploded out, beautiful flowers bloomed. Each of them seemed to contain a robust life.

When the blood-red Calamity Flower appeared in the Flower Basket of Calamity, two long horns pushed out from behind the Flower Basket of Calamity's ears.

At that moment, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's aura was completely different from that of an intermediate devil.

Its expression also became more dynamic, and viciousness and desire intermixed in its countenance. It was as though it had great disdain for everything. At that moment, everything in the world was nothing more than its playthings.

But once the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil laid eyes on Lin Yuan, its expression became extremely pure. It was as though it could only calm down when it was next to him.

The nun's tunic that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was wearing also changed.

Two layers of veil appeared over the tunic, and a hood grew out of the tunic as well. This made the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil seem like an archbishop.

Finally, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil evolved into a higher devil.

Lin Yuan checked on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

[Fey Name: Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil

[Fey Species: Higher devil species/beautiful devil species

[Fey Grade: Silver (6/10)

[Fey Type: Natural

[Fey Quality: Legend

Satanic Abilities:

[Calamity Judgment: According to the elemental energy that the target wields, a Calamity Flower will bloom on the target. Every time the target uses elemental energy, the Calamity Flower will absorb and store the elemental energy. When the Calamity Flower is exploded, the target will suffer a backlash from the stored elemental energy.

[Calamity Flower Toying With Life: The Calamity Flower will fall from the Flower Basket of Calamity and become hidden. When a lifeform of the same type as the Calamity Flower comes into contact with the Calamity Flower, it will be compared with the purity of the elemental energy within the Calamity Flower.

1. If it is purer than the elemental energy in the Calamity Flower, the Calamity Flower will give the target a boost.

2. If the elemental energy is less pure than the elemental energy within the Calamity Flower, the Calamity Flower will rob the target of its elemental energy and use an 'about to die' effect on the target. Before the 'about to die' effect ends and the target is not reimbursed with elemental energy, the target will die.

3. If the elemental energy is of the same purity as the elemental energy in the Calamity Flower, it can decide whether to boost the target or steal its elemental energy and place the 'about to die' effect on it.

[Misfortune for All: All the creatures in the area will form a net of karma linked by misfortune. Two types of calamities will be compared, and the weaker one will automatically sacrifice half of its calamity to the stronger party before entering a temporary state of feebleness.

1858 Another Bloodline Breakthrough!

Lin Yuan's expression turned austere. He was at a loss for words.

His expression was not austere because he was displeased with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's abilities. It was actually the opposite because its abilities had exceeded his expectations.

His expression was austere because he felt that the higher devil's abilities were too terrifying.

Although there were only seven of the original higher devils, intermediate devils could evolve into higher devils.

Lin Yuan felt that there could not be more than ten higher devils in the Freedom Federation.

If all of them were like the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, the higher devils would be a great threat to the Radiance Federation during a battle.

Lin Yuan shook his head and told himself that he was overthinking.

The Freedom Federation had higher devils, but the Radiance Federation had the feys with the Barren bloodline.

Feys with the Desolate bloodline were not any weaker than higher devils.

However, the sea demons that came from the Lantis Mystic Realm and the devils from the Demon Church were different from regular feys.

On the other hand, feys with the Barren bloodline were more similar to feys. They had the same catalog of information displayed on True Data.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil did not have abilities and exclusive skills, but something called satanic abilities.

There were three satanic abilities listed in the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's True Data, the Calamity Judgment, Calamity Flower Toying With Life, and Misfortune for All.

It was likely that the three satanic abilities corresponded to that of lower devil, intermediate devil, and higher devil.

Lin Yuan had already heard about this from the Goddess of Mercy.

Nonetheless, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil could still evolve into Fantasy Breed and Myth Breed.

But when the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil evolved to Fantasy Breed and Myth Breed, it would not develop exclusive skills, but its satanic abilities would be improved instead.

Lin Yuan was temporarily unable to come up with a description for the first satanic ability Calamity Judgment.

When Calamity Judgment was used, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would apply a Calamity Flower to the judgment based on the elemental energy that the target possessed. Every time the target used its elemental energy, the Calamity Flower would rob the elemental energy, and the target would experience a backlash.

From all angles, the ability was perverse.

Besides feys that relied on their bodies to fight, all other feys depended on using elemental energy.

From now on, the more pure elemental energy the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil absorbed, the more feys that wielded elemental energy it would be able to affect.

The Calamity Flower would absorb the elemental energy from the target's body as the target used it. This was no different from depleting the elemental energy from feys that wielded elemental energy. It was considered a restricting effect.

The final effect of elemental energy backlash could be seen as a combat ability or deterrence.

With Calamity Judgment, Lin Yuan now had a deadly move that could target all types of feys.

It went without question that the strength of Calamity Judgment was linked to the elemental energy of the Calamity Flower in the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's Flower Basket of Calamity because the purity of the Calamity Flower determined how long it could be applied to other feys.

Lin Yuan felt that Calamity Flower Toying With Life was a twin-directional ability that could boost their team while harming enemies.

According to the purity of the elemental energy within the Calamity Flower, not many lifeforms would escape having their elemental energy stolen by the Calamity Flower and having the 'about to die' effect placed on them.

All the types of feys that Lin Yuan nurtured possessed elemental energy of about the same purity as that of the Calamity Flower.

During combat, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil could choose to boost feys that were on the same side by strengthening the elemental energy within them.

Lin Yuan could understand Calamity Judgment and Calamity Flower Toying With Life. However, Misfortune for All was past his understanding.

Misfortune for All would lay out a set area and affect the karma of all the feys in that area.

Two feys that had the same types of elemental energy that the Calamity Flowers had would be chosen. The weaker side would have to sacrifice half of their elemental energy to the stronger side and enter a feeble state.

Lin Yuan saw it as an unreasonable ability.

This ability reminded Lin Yuan of how Lu Ou had used his higher devil to wipe out the colony of the Parasite Decay Locusts.

It was likely that Lu Ou had also used his higher devil's third satanic ability because that ability had been as unreasonable as Misfortune for All.

Lin Yuan felt that his combat power had doubled with the Death Demon Concubine Beast.

But now that he had the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil that had evolved to higher devil, Lin Yuan felt that his combat power had increased another three times.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was Silver VI/Legend.

Once the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil evolved to Diamond X/Legend, it would automatically comprehend a Willpower Rune.

If Lin Yuan wanted to evolve the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's grade even further, he only needed to allow it to absorb even more pure elemental energy like he had done today.

In order to nurture the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, it was likely that Lin Yuan would not have much of the Element Well's water to spare in the future.

Although the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bloodline had evolved to higher devil, Lin Yuan still intended to continue to evolve its bloodline.

Lin Yuan took the Dark Crystal Armored Insect shells out of the container. He also brought over the Plasma Snail's secretions, the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' lotuses, and the ice crystals that the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp produced and combined them with the Element Well's water.

To the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's delight and excitement, Lin Yuan allowed it to drink the four bowls that contained the thunder-, dark-, light-, and ice-elemental energy. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l) /m

Once it consumed the four types of pure elemental energy, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's archbishop attire became even more opulent.

The four new colors that appeared on the tunic made it seem more lavish.

Four more Calamity Flowers appeared next to the six original ones in the Flower Basket of Calamity. With ten Calamity Flowers in the Flower Basket of Calamity, it no longer looked sparse.

But at that moment, Lin Yuan's attention was not on the changes to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's clothes or the new Calamity Flowers because he noticed that the four horns on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's head had changed after it consumed the four types of pure elemental energy.

1859 The Almost-Formed Crown!

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's horns continuously grew out and crisscrossed until they formed a crown of brambles.

Two bumps appeared on the inner side of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's crown. It was as though there was something about to grow out from within the two bumps.

The crown of brambles was firmly attached to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's head.

At that moment, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was drunk on its own bloodline.

Lin Yuan stared at the two bumps on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's head.

He felt that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bloodline would transform again once the two bumps grew out.

In order for the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bloodline to transform again, Lin Yuan felt that he needed one or two new feys that produced different types of pure elemental energy.

Lin Yuan balled his fist.

He was about to head to the Divine Wood Federation to train soon.

During the training, he would head to the Sacred Forest City to see if he could find these two new feys.

Black fluids flowed from the corner of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's eyes and rolled down its face until they landed on the ground as black rocks that emitted a devilish aura.

Lin Yuan hurriedly instructed Shadow to pick up the black stones.

The most difficult thing to obtain from a devil was its tears. Devils rarely cried; most devils went their entire lives without letting a single tear fall out.

The Creation Masters from the Freedom Federation had always struggled to find a way to obtain the tears of devils.

When Shadow disciplined the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, it tortured the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to the point that it lost its personality and only felt fear and submission. Yet, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil did not shed a single tear throughout the entire incident.

This proved that using force was not the key that unlocked the devil's tears.

Since Lin Yuan had already formed a contract with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, he could sense its mood through its soul.

If one feeling had to be used to describe the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, it would be tears of joy over the evolution of its bloodline.

As he looked at the devil's tears in Shadow's hands, Lin Yuan returned the devil's tears into the spatial ring.

The more elite the bloodline of the devil, the more valuable its tears would be.

The Goddess of Mercy had told Lin Yuan about how the higher devil's tears could be used.

A tear could revive devils that had died within eight hours. The revived devil had to have a less elite bloodline than the devil that the tear came from.

At that moment, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was about to break through the limit of higher devil. It was likely that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was currently at pinnacle higher devil.

This meant that the two tears that Lin Yuan had collected could be used to revive two higher devils or the same higher devil twice.

For now, Lin Yuan did not have any use for the devil's tears.

However, Lin Yuan felt that it was only a matter of time before he would be able to use them.

Lin Yuan walked up and touched the nine Calamity Flowers in the Flower Basket of Calamity as he said softly, "I can't evolve your bloodline any further for now. But you can consume as much of these six types of elemental energy every day from now on. You can use them to increase your power. Try to evolve to Diamond/Fantasy as soon as possible to evolve the effects of the satanic abilities. Although I can't evolve your bloodline now, it won't be difficult for me to find the necessary resources to evolve your bloodline again."

Devils hated other people touching the source of their power.

Despite being its contractor, Lu Ou was not allowed to touch his higher devil's abdomen.

But when Lin Yuan touched the Calamity Flowers, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil not only did not look displeased, but it handed the entire Flower Basket of Calamity to Lin Yuan.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was looking at Lin Yuan with increasingly bright eyes. It knew that its life was reaching its prime. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

As it sensed the strength of its bloodline, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil knelt respectfully and kowtowed to Lin Yuan as it said, "Lord, please take pity on me from now on! Would you like to try fusing with me?"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

Fusing with the devil was the most basic skill for a spirit qi professional after contracting one.

If the spirit qi professional did not form a contract with a devil as its master, the devil would not listen to them or appear during battle.

From now on, Lin Yuan could summon the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil like a fey and instruct it to use its satanic abilities.

Nonetheless, there were benefits that came with fusing with a devil.

However, fusing with a devil would quickly use up a spirit qi professional's stamina, soul power, spiritual energy, and spirit qi.

Lin Yuan had something important to do next.

He decided that he would fuse with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil during the next battle to test how powerful he could become in such a state.

Lin Yuan decided not to keep the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Instead, he stored it in his spiritual spatial zone.

The aura from the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would not harm its contractor. But if the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil lost control of its aura and allowed it to seep out, it could harm the other feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. This could cause the feys to wither and die.

After sending the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to the spiritual spatial zone, Lin Yuan summoned the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

Sea demons were not bad-tempered or as set in their bad habits as devils were.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan knew that he needed not just top-grade strange water to temper his body but also to communicate with the major sea demon to gain its acknowledgment in order to form a contract with it.

But before Lin Yuan could communicate with the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water, the major sea demon instantly let out a shrill screech of fear when it saw Shadow. It was as though it had just seen the most terrifying sight in the world.

Lin Yuan was stunned by this.

Shadow scratched its head with embarrassment and said, "Lord Dictator, when I was disciplining the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, I did not block the major sea demon's sight, so it ended up seeing what I did to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. The major sea demon might be a bit afraid of me now!"

1860 Sea Demon Sacrifice!

Lin Yuan could not help but become even more curious about how Shadow had disciplined the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. What had it done to terrify the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to such a degree?

As the major sea demon trembled with its eyes wide open, Lin Yuan prepared to comfort it and express his friendliness.

Lin Yuan smiled and walked over to the purple and gold cage that contained the major sea demon to open it.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan noticed that there was water below the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

His eyebrow twitched wildly.

Since he had Blue Lotus' blessing, water-type feys were naturally drawn to him. Yet the major sea demon was still so afraid that it lost control of its faculties?

Lin Yuan thought back to when he was a small stall owner who had just bought Genius and Chimey. Both of them had been similarly distressed.

It had taken Lin Yuan almost a week to build up a bond with Genius and Chimey so they would stop being scared of him.

Lin Yuan tried to move slowly while he instructed Dark Blue to produce a large ball of water with an area of 10 square meters. He placed the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water in the ball of water.

Major sea demons' favorite environment was water.

Now that it was submerged in the water, the major sea demon slowly calmed down.

Lin Yuan and the sea demon did not share the same language.

Although both mermaids and sea demons had fishtails, they were completely different lifeforms.

Lin Yuan instructed Genius to use Connected Tails to create a bridge of communication for himself and the petrified major sea demon.

He used the most direct method to express his kindness to the major sea demon.

The major sea demon soon stopped trembling as Lin Yuan continued to express his kindness.

However, the sight it had witnessed was too horrifying. As such, the major sea demon was still wary of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan knew that he would not be able to remove this wariness through verbal communication.

He took a step forward and entered the ball of water.

Once he entered the ball of water, the silhouette of a mermaid appeared behind him, and he swam over to the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

He placed his hands on the major sea demon's shoulders and looked calmly into its eyes.

After half an hour of looking into Lin Yuan's clear eyes, the major sea demon finally let down its guard.

Nonetheless, the major sea demon dared not even glance at Shadow.

Lin Yuan transmitted to the major sea demon through Connected Tails, "I am going to form a contract with you. Before the contraction, I will use the top-grade strange water Deep Ocean Frozen Water and five other types of high-grade strange water that suit you well to temper my body. After we form a contract, I will help you to raise your bloodline to emperor sea demon."

He did not need to continuously prune the major sea demon before he formed a contract with it like he had to do with the devil.

After forming a contract with a spirit qi professional, a major sea demon would form a deep bond with its contractor like feys did. From then on, it would always place its contractor before anything else.

The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water had long become aware of its fate. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Due to its special nature, it had not been picked by anyone in the Azure Federation. This had greatly disheartened the major sea demon. All the other major sea demons from the same generation had been contracted ages ago. Meanwhile, it remained unwanted.

The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was not stupid. It knew why it had not been chosen yet.

In order to evolve its bloodline, it needed a massive amount of pure elemental energy and concentrated spirit qi.

However, this was not its weakness but because it was one of the rare sea demons that was a 'Sacrifice'.

After evolving its bloodline to king sea demon, it would possess not only its life water but also the Poisonous Magic.

Every time the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was tossed aside by potential contractors, it could not help but fervently declare this special feature it had.

Alas, before it formed a contract with a spirit qi professional, they would not understand it.

Yet, a young man now said that he would immediately evolve it into emperor sea demon once they formed a contract.

The major sea demon was in disbelief. However, it did not put up any opposition.

This was because it did hope that it could find a contractor and because this young man's eyes were too pure and reliable. As such, it wanted to believe this young man, even if what he said seemed practically impossible.

A moment later, the major sea demon gently nodded and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "It will be fine if you just contract and nurture me. It's difficult to even evolve me to king sea demon, much less emperor sea demon. I am a Sacrifice. Thus, I need substantially more spirit qi and elemental energy than other sea demons. Please don't be turned off by me!"

Lin Yuan was astonished when he heard this. But this almost immediately morphed into elation.

A Sacrifice! The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water said that it was a Sacrifice!

The legend of Sacrifices was recorded in the book 'Annal of Monster Information' that was in the Radiant Moon Palace. This book recorded numerous legends and covered the entire main world.

The legends in the book were so imaginative that no one put any stock in their legitimacy.

The Hidden Moon Pavilion usually did not keep such fictitious information, but the Moon Empress had verified one of the legends recorded in the book about feys with the Barren bloodline. Thus, the book was allowed to be stored in the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

Lin Yuan had been very interested in the book and remembered that the part about sea demon Sacrifices was written before page ten of the book.

'Sea demon Sacrifices can use their bodies to carry out the will of magic-wielders. Once they evolve into kings, they will activate the Poisonous Magic to curse the world.'

When Lin Yuan first read this, he had no idea that sea demons came from the Lantis Mystic Realm. He assumed that the Annal of Monster Information was nothing more than a book of fantasy.

1861 Chance to Evolve the Element Well!

Lin Yuan would never have expected what was written in the Annal of Monster Information to be true.

When Lin Yuan first received the sea demon with the Purple Frigid Heavy Water, he had been hesitant.

Although it was easy for Lin Yuan to obtain pure spirit qi, he needed the Element Well's water to produce pure water-elemental energy.

In the future, there would be many things that he needed the Element Well's water for. He could not afford to waste even a single drop.

Lin Yuan eventually decided to go ahead with nurturing the major sea demon because of how powerful it was.

But now, he was receiving an unexpected surprise.

Lin Yuan could be certain that there was no sea demon Sacrifice in the Azure Federation at the moment.

Otherwise, the people from the Azure Federation would have noticed this special feature about the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

This meant that Lin Yuan potentially possessed the only sea demon Sacrifice in the world.

In spite of his excitement, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

He intended to go to the Radiant Moon Palace to receive his precious instrument from the Moon Empress before heading to the Startling Lines Continent. At that time, he would make a copy of the Annal of Monster Information.

Lin Yuan wanted to properly study the Annal of Monster Information.

If the information in the book was all real, he could use it to create new opportunities for himself.

If the information in the Annal of Monster Information was false, the sea demon Sacrifice would just be a fluke.

Regardless, Lin Yuan was not negatively affected.

He lifted his gaze to the major sea demon and said, "I shall call you Frigid from now on!"

Lin Yuan did not explain to Frigid why he would definitely be able to evolve it into emperor sea demon because it would not believe him.

He just needed to prove it with his actions.

When Frigid heard the name Lin Yuan gave it, it happily swished its dark purple tail and exclaimed, "I really like the name Frigid,"

After speaking to Frigid, Lin Yuan took out the Deep Ocean Frozen Water and injected spiritual power into it.

Once the Deep Ocean Frozen Water absorbed the spirit qi, it expanded.

Lin Yuan hugged the ball of water that was the Deep Ocean Frozen Water.

He also took out ten types of high-grade strange water that was related to the cold.

He had assumed that in spite of Blue Lotus' blessing and the strong resistance against water elements that the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen provided him, he would still have to suffer a certain amount.

This was because not even a thearch-class expert could let their guard down against one top-grade and ten types of high-grade strange water.

However, things did not pan out as Lin Yuan thought.

Blue Lotus' blessing caused the phantom image of an orchid petal to appear below Lin Yuan's feet.

The orchid petal released a special harmonious power that acted as the medium that easily allowed Lin Yuan to temper his body using the Deep Ocean Frozen Water and the ten types of high-grade water.

This was the first time that the process of tempering his body went by so comfortably for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan gave the Paralysis Water, Spirit Sharp Chaos Water, and Revival Blue Water to Dark Blue, and it absorbed them to gain willpowers.

Next, he formed a contract with Frigid.

While he was forming a contract with Frigid, Lin Yuan finally knew why he had to use top-grade strange water that was similar to Frigid's life water to temper his body first.

If he had not done so, the cold of Frigid's bloodline would have instantly frozen his bloodline.

If that happened, even if he managed to survive, he would be left crippled.

The contraction took almost 40 minutes.

When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, Frigid was officially his fey. Th.ê most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n(0)velbj) /m

Lin Yuan now possessed a fey with the Barren bloodline, a devil, and sea demon, which were the symbolic feys of the three major federations.

Besides Lin Yuan, it was unlikely that anyone else had such an asset.

He had won this honor after a strenuous fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Lin Yuan walked over to the Element Well and checked how much water was left.

Next, he went to the bottom of the well and scooped out every drop of water.

There did not appear to be much water in the Element Well, but it managed to fill up half of the bucket that Lin Yuan had brought down with him.

At that moment, Lin Yuan heard Morbius' voice in his head. "Partner, the Element Well's water can be increased. However, you need to find the mouths of Ley Line Spirit Springs and embed them into the inner wall of the Element Well. This will cause the amount of water in the Element Well to increase slightly."

The gears in Lin Yuan's head immediately started turning.

Lin Yuan knew where he could find the mouths of Ley Line Spirit Springs.

The Leaning Moon Mountain had an area that was full of Grasswood Fountain Springs. All of them led to the same Ley Line Spirit Spring mouth.

The endless Grasswood Fountain Water from the Ley Line Spirit Spring mouth was the reason for the year-round prosperity of the plants on Leaning Moon Mountain.

However, he could not dig up the Ley Line Spirit Spring mouth from Leaning Moon Mountain to increase the amount of water in the Element Well.

Every Ley Line Spirit Spring was a precious resource to the land it was situated in. It could easily bring good fortune to the land.

However, it was not just the Ley Line Spirit Spring from Leaning Moon Mountain. Lin Yuan did not intend to touch any Ley Line Spirit Spring in the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan would go to the Startling Lines Continent to train soon.

There had to be Ley Line Spirit Springs in the Startling Lines Continent, and Lin Yuan intended to leave no rock unturned to find all of them in order to increase the quantity of water produced by the Element Well.

Even if the amount of water produced by the Element Well did not increase by much, even a slight increase would significantly benefit Lin Yuan.

After all, the pure elemental energy produced by the Element Well was way too precious.

...

He had only needed a small amount of water to evolve Yin Lin's major sea demon to pinnacle king sea demon.

Hence, even though Frigid had the Sacrifice bloodline, the half-bucket worth of the Element Well's water would be enough for it.

Lin Yuan walked over to the wooden chest that stored water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Out of all the Elemental Shellfish he possessed, she possessed he Aquamarine Elemental Shellfish in the greatest quantity. As such, he also had the greatest quantity of water-type Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls.

1862 Cold Season Poisonous Fish

Dark Blue and Universe also needed a large amount of pure water-elemental energy, but Lin Yuan did not use Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls on them.

This was because they only needed heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Even if Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls were used on them, they would not receive more benefits. This was because their key point was not the purity of the water-elemental energy but the quantity of the pearls.

Lin Yuan had felt it would be better to stock up on the rare Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls for an instance they were needed.

This was just that instance.

After Lin Yuan filled a large crystal bowl with the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls, he poured water from the bucket into the crystal bowl.

Once the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls came into contact with the water, they immediately started to dissolve.

When all the elemental pearls were dissolved, Lin Yuan only stopped pouring in water.

Next, he added many Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls into the bowl. He did this to ensure that the Element Well's water was fully saturated so as to not waste any of it.

Pure spirit qi was freely available in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Frigid could just breathe it in.

But in order to increase the rate of the pure elemental energy absorption, Lin Yuan brought over a spirit qi crystal and said, "Frigid, I have seen a major sea demon's bloodline evolution. You will have to experience some hardship! Drink up the contents of this crystal bowl!"

Frigid eagerly gulped down the pure water-elemental energy within the crystal bowl.

In the same instant, Lin Yuan crushed the spirit qi crystal in his hand.

Frigid's bloodline started to evolve.

The Purple Frigid Heavy Water morphed into a ball that enveloped Frigid.

Sounds of happiness but suppressed grunts could be heard from within the ball of water.

Lin Yuan had witnessed a similar sight recently.

At that moment, he was not looking forward to the Purple Frigid Heavy Water's transformation. He was already aware of its abilities.

Even if Frigid's bloodline evolved, the Purple Frigid Heavy Water's abilities would only become stronger but not change.

He was looking forward to Frigid unlocking its Poisonous Magic.

As Lin Yuan watched Frigid absorb the pure elemental energy from within the spirit qi crystal, he did not hesitate to crush another spirit qi crystal.

After waiting for some time, Lin Yuan saw bright silver light appear within the ball of light.

Frigid's purple fishtail occasionally peeked out of the water. Faint silver patterns could be seen on its surface.

Lin Yuan knew that Frigid was about to transform into the king sea demon.

At that moment, a strange melody could be heard from within the ball of water.

The silver patterns started spreading out,

Lin Yuan knew from the beautiful sound that Frigid was different from other major sea demons.

When Yin Lin's major sea demon evolved into a king sea demon, there had not been this pleasant sound.

This sound seemed to be Frigid calling out to some lifeform.

Frigid spat out a mouthful of purplish-blue blood within the ball of water.

Normally, a major sea demon's blood was blue. The presence of purple meant that there was a large amount of Frigid's essence blood. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

The mouthful of blood did not immediately spread out into the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. Instead, it formed a giant and complicated witch's sigil.

Soon, a small fish with a purple and gold tail swam out from the sigil.

It was only around the size of Lin Yuan's thumb. Its tail was not wide that that of other fish-species feys. Its short fin had one long spike growing out of it that glinted with purple and black light.

Lin Yuan thought, Since Frigid is a Sacrifice and has evolved into king sea demon, this purple and gold strange fish must be Frigid's Poisonous Magic.

Lin Yuan tried using True Data to check the small red and purple fish. This was when he saw that the Poisonous Magic's name was the Cold Season Poisonous Fish.

[Cold Season Poisonous Fish: Place a curse on a lifeform in the area. Every subsequent year that the lifeform stays alive, a cold curse will be accumulated in it. Every layer of the cold curse will slow down the circulation of its blood, spiritual power, mind power, and soul power. After it uses its tail to pierce the cursed target, the accumulated curse in the target's body will explode. This will not only harm the target but also allow the Cold Season Poisonous Fish to absorb the cold season power that is accumulated alongside each additional accumulated layer of the cold curse. Once there is sufficient power for the cold season, the sea demon's bloodline power can be used to substantially boost a precious instrument.]

Lin Yuan had never seen other sea demon Sacrifices. As such, he could not compare the Cold Season Poisonous Fish with the Poisonous Magics of other Sacrifices. He could not judge if the Cold Season Poisonous Fish was an outstanding Poisonous Magic.

After Lin Yuan carefully pondered over the Cold Season Poisonous Fish's abilities, he felt that it targeted the strong and not the weak.

Normally, the stronger the person, the longer they lived. Thearch-class experts were usually more than 100 years old.

Every additional layer of the cold curse would slow down the circulation of the target's blood, mind power, spiritual power, and soul power.

With over 100 layers of cold curses, it was likely that even thearch-class experts would have a tough time!

Moreover, according to the description of the Cold Season Poisonous Fish, it could curse multiple targets in the area. This meant that it would be able to restrict multiple experts.

When the Cold Season Poisonous Fish used its spike to touch the cold curses, it would improve the storage of the cold season power.

Once the cold season power was accumulated to a certain extent, it could further boost a precious instrument that was already being boosted by the sea demon.

Lin Yuan heard from Lan Xun that the emperor king demon could boost an 8 Stars precious weapon to 10 Stars.

At that time, Lin Yuan had thought about how if he had a pinnacle 8 Stars precious weapon and once he evolved Frigid's bloodline to emperor sea demon, Frigid would be able to boost the precious weapon to 10 Stars.

But now, with the Cold Season Poisonous Fish, Lin Yuan felt that he would be able to boost a pinnacle 8 Stars precious weapon to 11 Stars.

Using the Cold Season Poisonous Fish to boost a 10 Stars precious weapon would use up an incomprehensible amount of cold season power as well as Frigid's sea demon bloodline.

1863 Cold Season Poisonous Fish's Transformation!

Once he truly needed to use an 11 Stars precious weapon, he would no longer care about using Frigid's bloodline power because he would be in acute danger.

Moreover, as long as he had pure water-elemental energy, he would be able to recover the bloodline that Frigid had used up.

Lin Yuan was overcome with excitement at the moment.

However, Lan Xun had said that 11 Stars precious instruments only existed in legends.

Even if he only had a 7 Stars precious instrument, he would be able to boost it to the power of 10 Stars.

At that moment, Lin Yuan could use his capabilities to bring numerous legends to life.

When Lin Yuan was looking at the Cold Season Poisonous Fish's True Data, Frigid's bloodline continued to evolve.

However, Frigid's bloodline evolved much slower than Yin Lin's major sea demon did.

For the next three hours, Lin Yuan used up over ten spirit qi crystals.

Eventually, he poured out all of the Element Well's water from the bucket to concoct pure water-elemental energy for Frigid.

By hook or by crook, Lin Yuan was going to transform Frigid to emperor sea demon.

It took another hour before Lin Yuan noticed a faint gold light emerge from the silver light in the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. This told Lin Yuan that Frigid's bloodline was about to evolve from king sea demon to emperor sea demon.

Since he had provided Frigid with sufficient pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy, it did not stop at pinnacle king sea demon like Yin Lin's major sea demon had.

Frigid's bloodline continued evolving toward emperor sea demon.

Once Frigid's bloodline transformed into king sea demon, the Purple Frigid Heavy Water transformed into a water sprite.

At that moment, the Purple Frigid Heavy Water suddenly transformed into thousands of streams of water that danced around Frigid.

The silver light that covered Frigid's skin suddenly turned to light gold.

At the same instant, Frigid's appearance changed drastically.

Once the major sea demon transformed into the emperor sea demon, its dark blue skin would take on the color of its life water.

Soon, the surface of Frigid's purple skin turned to gold. This made Frigid appear like an expensive glass carving.

Frigid's long purple and blue hair, which resembled algae, also took on a golden hue.

When it transformed into the king sea demon, a veil covered its scales and wrapped up Frigid's body.

Only Frigid's head and a small part of its tail were not covered by the luxurious golden robe.

Frigid let out a grunt of pain, and two new arms extended out from the robe.

Frigid now had four arms!

This sudden occurrence left Lin Yuan dazed.

Frigid moved its fishtail and went to Lin Yuan's side.

It wrapped him in an embrace and said while its body trembled, "Master, thank you for transforming my body to emperor sea demon! I have another pair of arms now. I will now be able to boost two precious instruments. After my evolution, I can now link two previously unrelated precious instruments. This is an ability that all emperor sea demons share."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Yin Lin did not mention this information when she told him about the emperor sea demons.

Although she was the fourth Azure Envoy, she had not held the position for long. Moreover, she had left almost immediately to lead the envoy group to the Radiance Federation.

Hence, she was not very familiar with the abilities of sea demons.

Yin Lin might not fully understand emperor sea demons, but Lan Xun had to.

Since he had mentioned that emperor sea demons could boost precious weapons, it meant that he knew of the existence of emperor sea demons.

However, Lin Yuan could understand why Lan Xun had not mentioned the special characteristics of the emperor sea demons.

If other federations obtained the fey with the Barren bloodline, Lin Yuan would not be in any rush to inform them about the changes that they experienced when they evolved to Desolate either.

When Frigid seemed to have no intention of releasing him, Lin Yuan said vexedly, "Frigid, go and check on your Poisonous Magic!"

At the instant that Frigid's bloodline evolved to emperor sea demon, the Cold Season Poisonous Fish also transformed. But compared to the smooth changes that happened to Frigid, the changes to the Cold Season Poisonous Fish were horrible.

Currently, the Cold Season Poisonous Fish's entire body was cracked, and some of its flesh seemed to be separating. It looked as though a chef had taken a knife and was slicing it up.

Lin Yuan felt that Frigid was heartless for hugging and thanking him when its Poisonous Magic was in such a terrible state.

What if the Poisonous Magic that it had only attained after painstaking effort died?

But Lin Yuan did not expect Frigid's casual response to be, "Master, as long as I'm alive, my Poisonous Magic will not die. Even if it is cut up or crushed, I will be able to revive it by using up some energy.

"As the sea demon Sacrifice, I could unlock my Poisonous Magic when I reached pinnacle king sea demon. But after evolving into a emperor sea demon, the Poisonous Magic will go through an unprecedented evolution. It will take close to half an hour before the Cold Season Poisonous Fish's evolution is completed.

"The Cold Season Poisonous Fish looks this way now because the energy in its body is breaking up. I'm also curious to see how the Cold Season Poisonous Fish will transform once its evolution is complete!"

Only when it was done speaking did Frigid realize that it was inappropriate for it to be hugging Lin Yuan and quickly released him.

That was the first time that Lin Yuan had been hugged by four arms, and he found the sensation to be rather strange.

Since the Cold Season Poisonous Fish was not in any danger, Lin Yuan would not have to worry about it.

Instead, he used the time to organize the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

He had already used True Data to check on the Cold Season Poisonous Fish's abilities.

He expected its abilities to be strengthened once it transformed.

He planned on using True Data to check on Frigid again once the Cold Season Poisonous Fish's transformation was complete.

At that moment, the Purple Frigid Heavy Water resembled a large dark purple jellyfish that was flying around Frigid. Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin.c/o𝒎

Lin Yuan could sense a terrifying energy within the purple jellyfish.

1864 School of Fish and the Transforming Independent Sea!

Ten minutes passed. When Lin Yuan turned to look at the Cold Season Poisonous Fish again, he saw that it had split into six relatively equal-sized pieces.

The six pieces huddled together and swam around idly and they did not appear like subordinates at all.

It was clear that the Cold Season Poisonous Fish was done evolving.

Lin Yuan solemnly used True Data to check on Frigid.

[Fey Name: Purple Frigid Sea Demon Emperor

[Fey Species: Sea demon emperor species/sea demon species

[Fey Grade: Gold (6/10)

[Fey Type: Water

[Fey Quality: Legend

Life Water:

[Purple Frigid Heavy Water (Jellyfish): When it absorbs water, the water sprite will start to grow until it reaches its limit. At its limit, every drop of water in the water sprite will be as heavy as 1,000 gold pieces and flow out in all directions. Once it comes into contact with a friendly target, the frigidity in the water will gather on the surface of the target and increase its defense. When it comes into contact with an enemy target, the frigidity and curse will cause the part of the target that it comes into contact with to freeze and be injured. The curse in the frozen target can explode and attack the target's soul, causing it to become frozen forever. It will then become a Cold Frost Soul that has the ability to boost soul power. (It is in the midst of evolving to an independent sea. Once the evolution is successful, the water sprite and independent sea can swap between each other.)]

Life Poisonous Magic:

[Cold Season Poisonous Fish (School of Fish): The school of fish will place a curse on a lifeform in the area. Every subsequent year that the lifeform stays alive, a cold curse will be accumulated in it. Every layer of the cold curse will slow down the circulation of its blood, spiritual power, mind power, and soul power. After it uses its tail to pierce the cursed target, the accumulated curse in the target's body will explode. This will not only harm the target but also allow the Cold Season Poisonous Fish to absorb the cold season power that is accumulated alongside each additional accumulated layer of the cold curse. (Every additional Cold Season Poisonous Fish that appears will increase the amount of cold season power absorbed by 20%) Once there is a sufficient amount of the cold season power, the sea demon's bloodline power can be used up to substantially boost a precious instrument.]

Lin Yuan felt that Frigid's Purple Frigid Heavy Water had become more powerful.

At first, there had only been a relatively small amount of the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. But now, the sprite that the Purple Frigid Heavy Water transformed into could increase the amount of Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

For most spirit qi professionals, it was not easy to attain water unless the situation allowed for it. Meanwhile, water-type spirit qi professionals could have as much water as they wanted.

Dark Blue could create a lake in an instant. As such, as long as Dark Blue was around, Frigid would be able to fight comfortably no matter where it was. It would have sufficient water even if it was on the mouth of a volcano.

After absorbing a large amount of water, the expanded Purple Frigid Heavy Water casually flew around spreading its jets of water.

It was a lethal weapon that attacked the entire battlefield without discrepancy.

Luckily, the water jets would turn back into normal water when they came into contact with friendly targets and the frigidity would boost friendly targets' combat power.

But if it came into contact with enemy targets, every drop of water would be as heavy as 1,000 gold pieces.

Every jet of water would consist of at least 1,000 drops of the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. This amounted to at least 500,000 kilograms.

Even Myth Breed feys would not be able to hold out for long against such a mammoth weight.

The physical damage from the water jets was just the tip of the iceberg of the attack. The key point was the freezing effect that the jets of water would leave on the target's body.

After prolonged contact with the jets of water, the curse power within the target would explode and freeze them.

If the target had only absorbed a small amount of curse power, it would only be frozen and be slowed down. But if it had absorbed sufficient curse power, its soul would freeze and its individual character would vanish.

Additionally, according to the description on True Data, the water sprite also had extremely strong strategic significance.

The water sprite could produce the Cold Frost Soul which could boost soul power.

As such, the Cold Frost Soul could be seen as a precious spiritual ingredient that supported sacred source lifeforms.

Such spiritual ingredients were always extremely valuable and considered a level higher than heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

It was easy to create the Cold Frost Soul. Regardless of whether the other members of Sky City eventually contracted sacred source lifeforms, Lin Yuan could trade the Cold Frost Souls with other factions. This would allow him to gain the large amount of resources he required.

This thought made Lin Yuan smile.

Thanks to Frigid, Lin Yuan had obtained a new path to riches.

As for the Cold Season Poisonous Fish, it was just as Lin Yuan thought.

None of the fish in the school of fish were subordinate to each other. They were one body.

As such, when the school of fish was cursing targets in the surroundings, it could increase the curse power by at least five times.

In order for the Cold Season Poisonous Fish to trigger the curse in its target, it needed to pierce the target with its tail.

If six Cold Season Poisonous Fish attacked the target together, it could increase the probability of the target being pierced.

Most importantly, every additional Cold Season Poisonous Fish that appeared would increase the amount of cold season power absorbed by 20%.

If another five of the Cold Season Poisonous Fish appeared, the amount of cold season power absorbed would be double the original amount. This would make it easier to reach the amount of cold season power needed to boost a precious weapon.

Although the transformation of the Cold Season Poisonous Fish did not manifest much in its abilities, the strength of its original abilities had powered up significantly.

As he looked at Frigid, Lin Yuan could not help but compare it to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. But ultimately, he could not conclude which was stronger.

Compared to the emperor sea demon and devil which were easy for him to evolve, it was much harder for him to evolve the Golden Wings.

Lin Yuan greatly looked forward to Shiny's growth.

Lin Yuan was done evolving everything that he needed to evolve but he did not leave the Spirit Lock spatial zone despite how exhausted he was. Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin.c/o𝒎

Instead, he started evolving the Flower Branch Mice that Su Yiren had helped him to obtain.

The Lifespan Mouse could increase lifespans and was of paramount importance.

Besides the fact that Merciful Soul needed to contract the Lifespan Mouse, Lin Yuan also wanted to keep one or two in storage just in case.

1865 Mouse Tail's Color!

However, Lin Yuan's thinking was good.

Ever since he transformed the first Flower Branch Mouse into the Lifespan Mouse by a stroke of luck, all the Flower Branch Mice he evolved after that evolved into the Flower Mink Mice.

Lin Yuan did not waste the Flower Mink Mice as he sent them all back to Su Yiren.

Since the Flower Mink Mouse was also nurtured using pure spirit qi, it was stronger than most Bronze feys.

!

Since it was a beast-type fey with thick fur coats, it was very popular in the Divine Wood Federation and had already become the iconic fey of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. Even the members of the Divine Wood Federation's Royal capital and aristocratic families in Sacred Wood City were ordering large batches of the Flower Mink Mice from Su Yiren.

After evolving almost 100 of the Flower Branch Mice into the Flower Mink Mice, Lin Yuan let out a sigh.

As time passed, he became more convinced that he had only been able to evolve the first Flower Branch Mouse into the Lifespan Mouse because the stars had somehow aligned.

He had evolved almost 4,000 of the Flower Branch Mice in the past month. The repeated failures could not help but trouble Lin Yuan.

He could not help but think back to the circumstances when he first encountered the Flower Branch Mouse in the Divine Wood Federation.

At that time, the Flower Branch Mouse had climbed up to his shoulder and had not been afraid at all. Rather, it was extremely affectionate toward him.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's expression froze.

He suddenly remembered that the first Flower Branch Mouse's tail had been bright red. However, the rest of the Flower Branch Mice that he had evolved all had dark red tails. This was the most obvious difference that Lin Yuan could discern based on visual appearance.

Lin Yuan would be having a meal with Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest tomorrow.

After the meal, he would head to the Radiant Moon Palace to read the Annal of Monster Information. He would also receive his first precious instrument from the Moon Empress.

Next, he would head to the Divine Wood Federation to start his own enterprise.

He looked through the rest of the Flower Branch Mice inside the Item-Storing Walnut that he had not evolved yet. All of them had dark red tails.

Once he arrived at the Divine Wood Federation, he would make searching for the Flower Branch Mice with bright red tails his first priority.

When Lin Yuan saw that night had long fallen, he decided to continue evolving feys through the night.

No other young elite was as hardworking as Lin Yuan.

Ever since he became objectively powerful, the idlest he had been was two days in the Return from Faraway Mansion, where he had tended to the orders from the Indigo Azure City and Raging Waves City.

After he left the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan bathed and lay down on his bed.

After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan summoned Genius and Chimey.

When Lin Yuan summoned them, Genius had been nurturing the cat-species feys in the marsh world while Chimey had been absorbing the energy from strange flames in the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree.

Lin Yuan picked them up and hugged them. It was as though they were back at the spirit lifeform store at the Xia Region and were still the Hundred Questions Beast with matted fur, the Sound Bird that did not know how to sing, and the weak young man.

Genius and Chimey had been continuously increasing their power. Both of them had been working exceedingly hard.

Chimey and Genius both thought something had happened when Lin Yuan summoned them.

The two of them relaxed in Lin Yuan's arms and wallowed in the warmth of his body.

Genius and Chimey saw Lin Yuan as their everything.

The moonlight streamed in from the window and enveloped this young man, cat, and bird.

Lin Yuan slept very soundly. When he awoke in the morning, Genius' sweeping tail wrapped around Lin Yuan's neck, suffocating him.

Ever since Genius evolved from the Hundred Questions Beast to the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast, it was no longer suitable to be hugged to sleep. Genius' long tails took up all the space on Lin Yuan's bed.

After breakfast, Lin Yuan called Listen over and handed the two orders to him. One of the orders had come from Lin Yuan, while the other had come from Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan's order included resources he would need when he was in the Divine Wood Federation, while Wen Yu's order included resources she would need in order to properly set up a base in the marsh world.

Previously, the development in the marsh world had been minimal because Lin Yuan had not had the time to tend to it. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Now that Wen Yu was going to take over the development, she intended to carry out large-scale constructions to properly establish themselves in the marsh world.

As such, all of the resources she listed in her order came in terms of tonnes.

Listen would have looked vexed to receive these two orders in the past.

But now, he could respond with confidence, "Young Master, give me eight hours, and I will bring you all of these resources!"

Since the mirror cities were being built in the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift, the supply in the market was extremely tight, even in spite of the aid from Cultivated Garden.

All the other chambers of commerce were anxious to bank in on this opportunity.

However, Listen was smart and did not rush to earn a windfall.

This was because he knew what his role was. He had an extremely powerful faction behind him, and his duty was to supply Sky City with the resources it needed.

Listen silently gathered up as many resources as he could in the market and worked with the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to create luxury resources.

Listen spent all the money he earned on accumulating more resources.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was always building new storage warehouses, which were filled with Diamond fey storage boxes.

After following Lin Yuan for more than six months, Listen was no longer the easily startled weakling who was engulfed by hatred.

Listen had used his business sense and strong business capabilities to become the fourth key member of Sky City below Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan reached out and patted Listen's shoulder as he said, "Dome is going to participate in the S Tournament this year. The elimination rounds are about to begin. Liu Jie, Wen Yu, and I will be busy this year. Chu Ci has also left to train with her master.

"If we do want to participate in the S Tournament, we will only be able to make it back in time for the semi-finals and finals after the new year. Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Pinru, and Tan Ran have been preparing for the S Tournament. You can lead them, and the five of you will be able to clash against other guild clubs in the S Tournament."

1866 What is the Goal of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce? Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin.c/o𝒎

While he spoke, Lin Yuan felt extremely regretful.

Although he still had memories from his past life, he was no different from any other resident of this world because he had still been birthed by his mother.

As such, even if he struggled to fit into this world at the beginning, he always felt a sense of belonging to it.

Every young man in the S Tournament was motivated to participate in the S Tournament, and Lin Yuan was no exception.

!

Otherwise, he would not have spent such a large amount of effort to create the Dome.

However, he was going to expand into the Startling Lines Continent and did not have the time to participate in the S Tournament with the other members of Dome.

The focus of his hard work for the next two years had to be on increasing his power and strength and furthering Sky City.

Listen nodded seriously when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He started looking at Lin Yuan with an increasingly strange gaze.

He had witnessed how Lin Yuan had killed the young elites from the Freedom Federation during Capture the General and placed great pressure on the Freedom Envoy during the group battle.

Given Lin Yuan's power, participating in the S Tournament was no different from taking candy from a baby.

Moreover, the members of Dome also included Liu Jie and Gao Feng. If these three members of royalty participated in the S Tournament, there was no question that the champion of the S Tournament would be Dome.

It was likely that the members of other guild clubs would be unwilling to take on Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Gao Feng.

But it went without saying that the audience would be more than welcoming to Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Gao Feng wanting to participate in the S Tournament.

The three of them had not become Radiance Envoys yet, but their performance during the group battle had caused them to become almost as reputable as Radiance Envoys.

"Young Master, don't worry! During the S Tournament, Xiaobai, Pinru, and the rest will do our best! We will gain a good ranking before you return!"

Although Listen had focused most of his time on expanding the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, his power had not waned.

With Lin Yuan's help, Listen was now a B-rank spirit qi professional, and his two feys had reached Diamond X/Fantasy V.

Listen walked a very similar path as Lu Shuang.

Although he was not as strong at spiritual attacks as Lu Shuang was, he won out when it came to elemental attacks. As such, he had a more dynamic combat style than Lu Shuang.

Listen was not as skilled at combat as he was at business, but the grade and quality of his feys were facts. He was more than qualified to stand his own against members from A-level guild clubs.

The members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were all main members of A-level guild clubs that participated in the S Tournament.

Besides Long Tao and Shi Xu, who were part of the top ten Sequences of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, none of the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence could overcome Listen.

Listen knew that the team composed of himself, Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, and the rest would definitely be able to achieve a good ranking.

Lin Yuan treated Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Tan Ran, and Lu Pinru exceedingly well.

Listen would be helpless against the four of them when their source-type lifeforms cooperated.

Lu Pinru's spiritual energy had mutated, and she had contracted more than 30 of the Glowing Silkworm Weavers. Their combined defensive abilities were just as strong as Shi Xu.

The four of them had been ill-treated by the Extreme Guild Club and intended to win back their honor during this year's S Tournament.

When Lin Yuan heard Listen's assurance, he patted Listen's shoulder and asked, "Listen, what do you think the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's goal is?"

Listen was stunned by what Lin Yuan said.

Listen had been hard at work expanding the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and did not have time to expand his horizons.

Thus, his sights had always been confined to the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan's question prompted Listen to think out of this confinement.

After thinking for a moment, Listen came up with an answer based on his experience, which also left him dispirited. "Young Master, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce has reached its limit in the Radiance Federation."

Although the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce continuously produced luxury resources, bought more resources, and expanded its store of resources, its nature of being a chamber of commerce meant that they were reliant on the Radiance Federation's commerce system.

No matter how far the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce developed or how strong it became, it would only be able to become a top faction at best.

Whale Ocean Commerce had also started out as a top faction with the chamber of commerce role. Eventually, it managed to become one of the top three top factions because it had broken through the confines of this role and started trading with other continents. Nonetheless, Whale Ocean Commerce ultimately still capsized.

If Listen had achieved such a result before he became acquainted with Lin Yuan, he would have been extremely proud.

But ever since he became Lin Yuan's subordinate, his horizons were not only broadened, but his hard work contributed to less than 10% of the reason the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was able to reach its current success.

After all, Lin Yuan was the one who provided the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce with the resources it used to develop itself, and he was also the one who dealt with any threat that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce faced.

Without Lin Yuan's support, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce would have been exterminated by the Zheng family's third lineage long ago.

When Lin Yuan heard what Listen said and saw his expression, he figured out what Listen was thinking.

He knew that just like him, Listen was a person who came with baggage and had ambition.

Lin Yuan's goal for heading to the Startling Lines Continent was to conquer it and make everything within it his own. During this process, he needed to find a way to gather all the resources from the Startling Lines Continent.

Everyone had their own niche, and everything had its own use.

"Listen, while you're preparing these resources, hand over the tasks of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and come with me to the Startling Lines Continent. There are a million things to do there, and it will be a perfect stage for you to chase your dreams."

It was not just the Startling Lines Continent where Listen was needed but the marsh world as well.

However, Su Yiren had already laid a good foundation in the Startling Lines Continent. She used the Absolute Love Poppy to nurture the 14 Poppy Fruits that have already established themselves in the Divine Wood Federation. They had even infiltrated the Iron Hammer Federation.

If someone of Listen's talents arrived at the Startling Lines Continent, he would be able to rapidly harvest the riches from the Startling Lines Continent.

1867 Liu Jie's Precious Weapon!

It would be best to leave the marsh world to Wen Yu and Sun Ningxiang for the next few months. They would first set up a solid base and start cultivating the plant-type feys. This would make it easier for Listen to harvest them once he arrived at the marsh world.

When Listen heard what Lin Yuan said, his eyes twinkled.

Now that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had grown into the giant it was, it could operate on its own. There were fewer and fewer reasons for Listen to be there because it could continue to function normally even without him.

Listen could not help but feel slightly put off.

He owed all of his current achievements and status to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had helped him to avenge his family by taking on the Zheng family. Next, he had taken out the Miao family, who supported the Zheng family.

Listen was grateful to Lin Yuan for all of this, and it made him determined to be of as much help to Lin Yuan in the future as possible.

As such, he became increasingly disheartened when he realized that he could no longer be of much help to Lin Yuan.

But now that he knew that he could still help Lin Yuan, he was delighted.

Moreover, he really liked doing business. He liked the feeling of being able to accumulate riches continuously.

Listen agreed immediately.

"Young Master, Qin Lun, who you sent to me to train, is gifted at doing business. Endless Summer has also taken over a significant amount of the work. With the two of them around, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce will be able to continue functioning even without me there. Once I obtain the resources from these two orders, I will be able to head with you to the Starling Lines Continent at any time."

Listen immediately headed to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to make preparations. He also had many instructions to relay to Qin Lun.

Once Lin Yuan was done speaking with Listen he called Wen Yu over. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

He had just spoken to Liu Jie on the phone. Liu Jie had just come out of seclusion in the Spirit Guards' land and was going to rush back to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

The three of them would head to Zong Ze's residence together to have a meal with the rest.

After the call and just as Liu Jie was about to leave, he saw Night Leaning Moon clearly waiting for him on the metal bridge at the entrance of the Spirit Guards' land.

Liu Jie was surprised to see Night Leaning Moon. He briskly walked over and asked, "Master, didn't you go to attend the imperial meeting?"

Liu Jie clearly remembered Night Leaning Moon saying before he went into seclusion that she would be in the Radiance Federation's imperial court for some time and that Zuo Ming and You Zhe would be left in charge during her absence.

So why was she here now?

While Liu Jie was speaking to Night Leaning Moon, he could sense that Night Leaning Moon was very different from before.

Previously, she felt as lonely and unfathomable as the night sky. It was as though she carried an abysmal loneliness that extinguished all life.

But now, she felt as though she had turned into the night itself. At the same time, he felt a sense of derision from her.

It was evident that her power had increased.

However, he remembered that Night Leaning Moon had just increased her power using the black feathers that Lin Yuan gave her before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Did her power increase again so soon?

Liu Jie suddenly remembered the bag that Lin Yuan had asked him to deliver to Night Leaning Moon.

Could it be that Night Leaning Moon's increase in power was related to that bag?

Night Leaning Moon could not help but feel conflicted when she looked at Liu Jie.

Night Leaning Moon had accepted Liu Jie as her disciple because she was moved by how the Moon Empress reacted to the heavily injured Lin Yuan. She had accepted Liu Jie as her disciple because she wanted to leave a bloodline legacy.

But by a series of coincidences, she had managed to obtain Lin Yuan's help through Liu Jie, and her power had crossed that rut. Now, she was as powerful as the Moon Empress.

It went without saying that she would not tell Liu Jie about this. She did not want to put him under any pressure.

Night Leaning Moon adjusted Liu Jie's silver half-armor and said with a smile, "I have been in seclusion for the past few days and will be heading to the imperial court soon. Didn't you say that you're going to go out to train with Little Yuan? Take this precious weapon that I forged for you! It is called the Specialization Insect Nest. It is a 5 Stars precious weapon. It might not have combat abilities, but it is very suitable for you. You can now test it out during battle."

Night Leaning Moon took out a purple and red flesh-like nest that was about the size of a soccer ball.

She was not a Class 5 Creation Master and had won the main ingredient for this precious instrument from Iron Prison in a bet.

She had prepared well for Liu Jie's first precious weapon and asked the Moon Empress to help to forge it.

In order to form a contract with a precious instrument, one had to feed it with blood and then make an imprint on it using one's soul.

However, only precious weapons that were 3 Stars and above could recognize their masters. 1 and 2 Stars precious instruments could be used by anyone who communicated with them using spiritual energy.

Liu Jie immediately instructed the Insect Queen to produce one Execution Blade Insect and used its leg to slice his palm.

The higher the Stars of the precious weapon, the more blood it would require.

Before Liu Jie made an imprint on the Specialization Insect Nest, he needed to feed it his blood.

As a large amount of blood flowed out from his palm, the Specialization Insect Nest consumed it and slowly formed a bond with him.

Liu Jie could sense the Specialization Insect Nest becoming more affectionate toward him.

Once the Specialization Insect Nest stopped consuming his blood, Liu Jie circulated his soul power and injected it into the Specialization Insect Nest.

The Specialization Insect Nest and Liu Jie let out a simultaneous roar.

Liu Jie tried to utilize the Specialization Insect Nest.

The purple and red nest started to expand above Liu Jie's head. Eventually, it grew to the size of a house and revealed its true form.

There were 64 holes in the Specialization Insect Nest. Each of them was separated by a wall of flesh that was at least one meter thick.

Liu Jie knew that each of them could contain one insect. The Specialization would forever specialize in that insect and start to increase the power of that insect.

1868 Specialization Insect Nest!

The specialization referred to being able to trigger the insect-species fey's ability to the maximum extent.

This evolution method was unstable, and Liu Jie would not use it on his insect-species carcinoma feys.

However, he could allow the insects that the Insect Queen produced to enter the holes of the Specialization Insect Nest.

He tossed the Execution Blade Insect that the Insect Queen had produced to the Specialization Insect Nest.

Multiple purple and red tentacles covered with arenicola shot out from one of the holes and caught the Execution Blade Insect.

Soon, the hole with the Execution Blade Insect started to pulse. This lasted for around three minutes before the hole spat out a new Execution Blade Insect.

At that moment, Liu Jie could no longer hold the Execution Blade Insect in his hand because it had grown to four meters long and three meters wide.

All eight of its feet shone with a fiery green light. The friction between its feet and the bridge left several faint gashes on the bridge.

Night Leaning Moon could not help but be surprised.

With a wave of her hand, she took out a strip of radium and tossed it at the Execution Blade Insect.

The eight insect legs slashed across the radium and cut it into nine pieces that fell onto the metal bridge with clanging noises.

Night Leaning Moon said with an impressed tone, "This Execution Blade Insect can now cut through the skin of a defense-type Suzerain/Myth II fey! Even a defense-type Myth III fey would be left seriously injured.

"This bridge is made of radium that came from the heart of a radium mine. It is as tough as a defense-type Sovereign/Creation fey. This means that the Execution Blade Insect is strong enough to leave a scar on defense-type Sovereign/Creation feys.

"So far, you've only evolved the Execution Blade Insect. You might be surprised if you try to evolve the other insects that the Insect Queen produces."

Liu Jie was filled with excitement. He now knew how much help a 5 Stars precious instrument could be to him.

He was now grateful for Lin Yuan's foresight.

If Lin Yuan had not requested that the Freedom Federation envoy group be forbidden to use precious weapons, the Radiance Federation team might not have been able to claim victory.

Despite having been blessed by the Emperor Core of All Insects, the Insect Queen's chronic issue had not been solved. This issue was that Liu Jie did not have strong individual combat abilities.

When Liu Jie used his colony of insect-species carcinoma feys, he could cause damage to an area.

But now, with the Specialization Insect Nest, Liu Jie's gap in individual combat abilities had been filled.

Liu Jie could sense that the hole where the Execution Blade Insect had been evolved had a close link to the Execution Blade Insect.

If the situation called for it, the protein within the hole would be able to heal the Execution Blade Insect.

If the Execution Blade Insect was killed, the hole would be damaged. It would have to be healed before it could specialize a new insect.

The Specialization Insect Nest had 64 holes. This meant that it could help Liu Jie to specialize 64 insects. This quantity was sufficient for Liu Jie.

When she saw the joy on Liu Jie's face, Night Leaning Moon smiled as well.

Liu Jie's intention to follow Lin Yuan was very similar to when she first decided to follow the Moon Empress. Back then, she had also wanted to give up the chance to be a Radiance Envoy to become a Moon Envoy.

The Moon Empress had turned her down, but Lin Yuan had not rejected Liu Jie.

To Liu Jie, who saw Lin Yuan as his faith, this was lucky for him.

Night Leaning Moon did not say much. Liu Jie was becoming stronger day by day.

The Moon Empress was independent and did not like to owe favors to others. But when it came to teaching her disciple, she did all she could to give him the best and come up with ways to protect him. Reêad latest 𝒏ov𝒆ls at n𝒐𝒐v/e/l/bi𝒏.com

Night Leaning Moon and the Moon Empress were the same in that both of them were independent.

But when it came to teaching their disciples, Night Leaning Moon believed that a spirit qi professional could only become strong when flames tempered them.

In order for Liu Jie to transform into the personification of disasters, he would have to fight tooth and nail. This would ensure that his mind remained clear when he wielded the disasters.

Night Leaning Moon was very agreeable to Liu Jie going away with Lin Yuan to train.

Once Liu Jie was done contracting the Specialization Insect Nest, Night Leaning Moon took out a long flute.

The long flute shone with a faint blue light. While its exterior surface was blue, its interior surface seemed to be filled with black fish swimming within it. When the black fish's tails knocked against each other, turbid blue waves were produced within the light blue flute.

Night Leaning Moon handed the long flute to Liu Jie and said, "This is also a 5 Stars precious instrument. It is called the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute. This flute should be more suitable for Lin Yuan. I stole it from Creek Water Six Fairies from the Creek Water Federation many years ago. It can control waves and tides. Give it to Lin Yuan!"

Night Leaning Moon knew that the Moon Empress was creating a precious instrument for Lin Yuan. She had even asked Night Leaning Moon for two spiritual ingredients in order to add them to the precious instrument.

However, spirit qi professionals could have more than one precious instruments.

For example, Han Qi, who Lin Yuan had killed, had three precious instruments.

When precious instruments were in conjunction, their effects would be stacked atop one another.

Nonetheless, this did not mean that the more precious instruments a spirit qi professional had, the stronger he would be. Everything was a matter of capability.

The biggest problem that spirit qi professionals faced was a lack of combat abilities. Precious instruments perfectly made up for this gap.

Night Leaning Moon had been surprised when Lin Yuan fought physically during the Guard Ye Banquet.

He was one of the rare spirit qi professionals who could protect himself without using precious instruments.

But this did not mean that Lin Yuan did not need precious instruments. With precious instruments, he would be strengthened from a fundamental level.

Night Leaning Moon did not choose to give away this 5 Stars precious instrument just because she wanted to thank Lin Yuan. After all, she had many other ways to express her gratitude that did not involve giving away such a precious resource.

To members of royalty who were not Class 5 Creation Masters, precious instruments were the most important resource they possessed.

1869 Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute!

Night Leaning Moon could have used the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute to exchange for many Creation Master resources from the Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and the Bamboo Monarch.

She was being so generous to Lin Yuan because she saw him as her disciple.

It was similar to how the Moon Empress had been willing to give the 200 insect-species carcinoma feys she won from the bet to Liu Jie.

Liu Jie nodded and said, "Master, I will give this precious instrument to Lin Yuan once I return!"

Night Leaning Moon could clearly tell that Liu Jie's smile had become even more radiant after he received the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute. Evidently, he was happier about obtaining a 5 Stars precious instrument for Lin Yuan than he was about obtaining one for himself.

After Liu Jie left the Spirit Guards' land, he instructed the Insect Queen to produce three of the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths to carry him to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Although Liu Jie had several of the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacles and could use Node Transportation to pass through several checkpoints before arriving at the Return from Faraway Mansion, he did not do so because he knew that he would have to use the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacles often once he arrived at the Divine Wood Federation.

The Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacles could also be considered a strategic-class resource. When it came to strategic-class resources, it was best to conserve their usage as much as possible.

While the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths were flying Liu Jie to the Return from Faraway Mansion, he instructed the Insect Queen to produce another 20 Execution Blade Insects, 10 Vibrating Armor Ladybugs, 10 Flowing Plasma Electricity Insects, 10 Electromagnetic Chrysalises, and 3 Lonely Night Hurricane Moths.

He pressed 63 of these insects into the Specialization Insect Nest to prepare for the Specialization Insect Nest to use them during battle.

After specializing the first batch of insects and understanding the abilities of the five types of insects once they had been specialized, Liu Jie would be able to adjust his combat style to deploy the insects from the Specialization Insect Nest in the best way during battle.

Once he was back at the Return from Faraway Mansion, Liu Jie saw Lin Yuan and Wen Yu waiting for him at the entrance.

When he landed, he smiled at Lin Yuan and greeted Wen Yu.

Next, he handed the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute to Lin Yuan as he said, "Lin Yuan, Master asked me to give this to you!"

Lin Yuan immediately recognized that what Liu Jie had given him was a precious instrument.

Given the exterior appearance of the long blue flute, it was clear that it was a water-type precious instrument.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the long blue flute.

He saw that it was a 5 Stars precious instrument, but its abilities were centered around being able to restrict a set area.

When the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute was blown, it would produce a territory of water with it at the center. Giant waves would also be produced that would restrict unfriendly targets in the area.

During the restriction process, the water would turn into a whirlpool and use powerful force to impede all the targets within the water.

There was no question that this 5 Stars precious weapon would be suitable for Lin Yuan to use in his merman state.

Out of all of his abilities, his controlling ability was the weakest. He had to rely on the Source Sand to control targets.

Now that he had the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute, Lin Yuan's controlling ability had increased significantly.

The two small black fish within the flute would be summoned into the water during combat. The purer the water-elemental energy supplied by the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute, the more powerful the small black fishes would be.

If the elemental energy was sufficiently pure, the small black fish could carry the maximum power of the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute.

The Moon Empress had mentioned to Lin Yuan that the greatest power that a 5 Stars precious instrument could produce was pinnacle Myth III.

Lin Yuan had always been proud of the purity of the water-elemental energy he produced. No one in the world might have had purer water-elemental energy than Lin Yuan.

This meant that he could easily strengthen the two small black fishes to the power of pinnacle Myth III. This would allow him to gain two pinnacle Myth III fighters.

Lin Yuan had contracted the emperor sea demon. Although Frigid's bloodline had only just reached emperor sea demon, Frigid would be able to boost the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute to 8 Stars.

The greatest power that a pinnacle 7 Stars precious instrument could attain was pinnacle Creation, while an 8 Stars precious weapon could reach Immortal.

With Lin Yuan's pure water-elemental energy and when Frigid boosted the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute, he would be able to attain two protectors with Immortal power.

With Immortal combat power, he did not have to worry when crusading the Divine Wood Federation. In a federation without a Class 5 Creation Master, Immortal power was the strongest combat power that would be available.

Experts that reached Eternal only existed in federations that had Class 5 Creation Masters.

Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony as he accepted the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute from Liu Jie.

He instructed the Source Sand to produce feathers made of Day and Night Spirit Silver and sliced his palm just like Liu Jie had done not long ago.

To spirit qi professionals like Liu Jie and Lin Yuan, who lived on the edge of the knife, injuries were extremely common for them.

The Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute absorbed Lin Yuan's blood and let out the sound of a crashing tide when it connected with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan used his soul to place an imprint on the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute.

With this, the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute now belonged to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan raised his head and said to Liu Jie and Wen Yu, "I own a Class 5 Creation Master. If you encounter any suitable materials in the future, the Class 5 Creation Master can help you two to create a custom precious instrument."

Liu Jie and Wen Yu had already become the closest people to Lin Yuan, with the exception of the Moon Empress and Chu Ci.

Lin Yuan had never told anyone about Morbius.

But when it came to information such as that about Di Wanmi, there was no need for Lin Yuan to keep it a secret from Liu Jie and Wen Yu. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

After Lin Yuan learned about precious instruments and formed a contract with one, he felt that every person should have about one to three precious instruments that were above 3 Stars. It would be fine to have numerous 1 and 2 Stars precious instruments which did not need to be contracted.

According to different battle situations, using different 1 and 2 Stars precious instruments could lead to different effects.

When Liu Jie and Wen Yu heard that Lin Yuan owned a Class 5 Creation Master, both of their jaws dropped.

Before they could start guessing, Lin Yuan said, "The Class 5 Creation Master comes from Whale Ocean Commerce."

Lin Yuan briefly explained the Whale Ocean Commerce incident to Liu Jie and Wen Yu,

1870 Lin Yuan's Hundred Sequence Title!

Liu Jie and Wen Yu had heard of Whale Ocean Commerce's demolition but were not as familiar with it as Lin Yuan, who had personally experienced it.

Night Leaning Moon had told Lin Yuan not to mention the matter to others, and she had not told Liu Jie herself.

Liu Jie and Wen Yu had assumed that all of Sky City's high-class Creation Master resources came from the Moon Empress.

But now that Sky City had a Class 5 Creation Master of its own, it had the same fundamental resources as other federations with Class 5 Creation Masters, such as the Spirit Mother Federation, Sand Continent Federation, and Creek Water Federation.

Sky City was about to become what was traditionally known in the Radiance Federation as a top-notch faction. It was going to become a genuine behemoth.

Lin Yuan mentioning Sky City's fundamental strength gave Liu Jie and Wen Yu confidence.

Liu Jie and Wen Yu were willing to sacrifice themselves for the Radiance Federation. But when Lin Yuan was present, both of them would place him before the Radiance Federation.

It was because Night Leaning Moon understood this that she did not insist on Liu Jie trying out to become a Radiance Envoy and agreed to let him settle for being a Radiance Knight instead.

Lin Yuan summoned Blackie and pulled Liu Jie and Wen Yu onto Blackie's back.

Blackie flew up into the air and weaved between the clouds as it headed to Zong Ze's residence.

After this meal, Lin Yuan would not be able to see Gu Lang, Zong Ze, An He, and the rest for up to six months.

He treasured his friends.

Although he rarely drank alcohol, he intended on drinking his fill at Zong Ze's residence.

During Capture the General against Han Qi, Lin Yuan had summoned Blackie. However, he could not hide his feys during the group battle, and Blackie, the Jasmine Lily, Purple Afterglow, Genius, and Chimey had all appeared.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan's feys still remained a mystery on Star Web.

The Class 4 Creation Masters, Scholars, and Fey Observers had not been able to fully analyze the abilities of Lin Yuan's feys.

But even if some Creation Masters did manage to complete their analysis, they would not dare to post their findings on Star Web.

Blackie and Purple Afterglow were feys that had been spirit locked by Morbius. Even if the Moon Empress saw them, she would not be able to see their Elite to Diamond abilities.

Although the audience on Star Web was unaware of the abilities of Lin Yuan's feys, they had all seen what the feys looked like. As such, the appearance of the feys had long become household knowledge.

Hence, many people recognized Blackie as it flew through the air.

Blackie flew at a great height of around 2,500 meters. In spite of its huge size, it should look like nothing more than a black loach in the sky.

However, Blackie's pure flood-dragon-species fey bloodline could not be hidden.

As it flew, it looked extremely striking. Additionally, flood-dragon-species feys could gather clouds as they flew. Numerous clouds circled Blackie as it flew, drawing even more attention to it.

Pure flood-dragon-species feys were rare sights even in the Royal Capital of the Radiance Federation.

Although they knew that cheers from the ground could not be heard at great heights, many people still stopped in their tracks to stare at the black, weaving flood dragon in the sky. They knew that the person riding on the black flood dragon was Lin Yuan, a young hero who was also the Moon Empress' disciple.

Almost every regular person and spirit qi professional in the Radiance Federation had watched the young team from the Radiance Federation battle against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Lin Yuan's performance during the fight had been deeply etched into the hearts of everyone watching.

If Lin Yuan could hear the cheers coming from the ground now, he would realize that they were not just shouting his name. There were many people who addressed him as 'Lord Miracle'.

Adding the word 'Lord' behind a person's name was a sign of respect.

Lin Yuan had unknowingly become a beacon of hope for many members of the Radiance Federation's younger generation. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

The 'Miracle' part came from the most-voted title for Lin Yuan in the poll released by the Radiance Sacred Hall.

At first, the most-voted name was 'Flower Gentleman'. It was unknown who had come up with this title, and Red Thorn's performance had been outstanding during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. At first, Black had relied on the seemingly endless sea of flowers to protect Millstone Town. This was how the title Flower Gentleman came about.

Many people had voiced their agreement for this title, but a louder voice on Star Web brought up how powerful all of Black's feys were. It would not be right to link his title to only one of his feys.

Black had been wearing a silver mask from the beginning. His rise had been akin to a miracle. As such, the title 'Silver-Faced Miracle' had arisen.

Poison Beauty was the one who had come up with this name.

She was being paired up with Black by many people on Star Web.

But after the past two days, many Star Web users felt that the 'Silver-Faced' part should not be part of the title because it represented Black and not Lin Yuan.

Black and Lin Yuan were the same person.

The titles for the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were usually made up of one or two words. As such, it was decided that Lin Yuan's title would be 'Miracle'.

Both Lin Yuan and Black had appeared like miracles. He had even managed to put pressure on the third Freedom Envoy during the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

No other member of the younger generation in the Radiance Federation could live up to the title of Miracle more than Lin Yuan.

He had only just started taking flight. The road ahead of him was still long, and everyone looked forward to the miracles he would create in the future.

After the title Miracle was decided on, even the Moon Empress personally logged into Star Web to vote.

This was the first time in almost 20 years that the Moon Empress had logged into Star Web.

Many of the popular posts on Star Web were about imagining couples. Recently, many of these posts imagined couples out of masters and disciples.

Although Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress' identities were not expressly revealed, anyone could tell that many of the posts were about them.

Alas, the fans of this imagined coupling knew that it would never become a reality.

At that moment, while he was riding on Blackie's back, Lin Yuan had no clue that his Radiance Hundred Sequence title had been set as Miracle.

1871 Last Meal Together for the Next Two Years!

A statue with the words 'Miracle Lin Yuan' carved into it was being created by craftsmen in the Radiance Sacred Hall.

Nonetheless, if the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were unhappy with the titles they were given, they could request to change them. The Radiance Sacred Hall did not have many restrictions when it came to titles.

For example, while they fought, Zhao Xiaochun was continuously gnawing on a pig's trotter on the dueling stage. As such, the Star Web audience had voted for the title Glutton for her. After Zhao Xiaochun found out about this, she went to see Liu Wencheng immediately.

Since Liu Wencheng was the head of the Radiance Sacred Hall, it was normal for the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to seek him out. However, a strange expression came over his face when he found out why Zhao Xiaochun had come.

Although there were not many restrictions on the titles for the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, changing her name from Glutton to Food Hater was ludicrous!

At first, he had not consented, and Zhao Xiaochun had been going to see him three times a day over this matter. After three months, she finally wore him down, and he allowed her to change her title to Food Hater.

Normally, the titles were chosen by the Star Web audience, and every user was allowed to cast their vote.

As such, besides Zhao Xiaochun, none of the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had changed their titles.

Even if Lin Yuan was aware of his Radiance Hundred Sequence title, he would not want to change it because it was a sign of acknowledgment from the citizens of the Radiance Federation.

Additionally, ever since he noticed the special characteristics of his body, awakened Morbius, evolved Genius into the Thousand Questions Beast and Chimey into the Stream Cloud Azure Bird, he was considered a miracle.

Even if hatching the Floating Island Whale and evolving the Lifespan Mouse were disregarded, Lin Yuan had been endlessly creating miracles ever since he became a spirit qi professional.

He was about to head to a wider world to go on a crusade.

He would eventually create more miracles in the Startling Lines Continent and marsh world.

Ten months ago, Lin Yuan had still been struggling to make a living in Redbud City in the Xia Region.

But now that he had become the cream of the crop of the younger generation, his ambition extended into the rest of the world.

Before the Major Federation Meeting and the fight between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation two years later, Lin Yuan could grow as much as possible.

Morbius had reached Gold grade. This meant that Lin Yuan could spirit lock a new fey. He intended on sourcing for it in the Divine Wood Federation.

Blackie resembled a black rainbow that was descending on Zong Ze's backyard.

Besides Gu Lang, An He, and Liu Yifan, there was another girl in the backyard.

She was rapping her finger on the yellow jade table and was sipping on tea instead of joining in the conversation with Gu Lang, An He, and Zong Ze.

When she saw Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, the girl smiled and nodded at them.

This girl was Xia Qing.

Because of Liu Yifan, An He was very familiar with Xia Qing. He knew that she was much stronger than him. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

She was only one step away from becoming an A-rank spirit qi professional, and her rank would break through within the next six months. At that time, her feys would be evolved to pinnacle Myth II.

Before the rest of them became A-rank spirit qi professionals, Xia Qing would be able to flick them away as easily as if they were flies.

Thus, An He understood Xia Qing's arrogance.

It was not strange that she had greeted Lin Yuan because his performance during the group battle had attained her acknowledgment. There was even a possibility that she would not be able to beat him. After all, regardless of whether her abilities could counter his, there was no way that she would be able to kill a Freedom Envoy.

But why had she greeted Liu Jie?

An He scratched his head and looked at Xia Qing with confusion.

This was because he did not understand that she judged a person not only by their power but also by their character.

An He, Gu Lang, Zong Ze, and Gao Feng had to be talented to become the members of royalty's disciples, but luck also played a key role.

If others were chosen to become the Bamboo Monarch, Chef Supreme, Cicada Song, and Long Lamplight's disciples instead, they would be able to achieve as much as Zong Ze, Gao Feng, and the rest had.

Before the four of them achieved anything worth Xia Qing's admiration or their power became Xia Qing's equivalent, Xia Qing's attitude toward them would not change.

As one of the top few members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Liu Jie's future was very bright.

However, he had taken the risk of death and crippling and put his fey in a near-dead state in order to create a wall of flesh outside of Cold Frost City that had lasted for half an hour.

This reminded Xia Qing of her parents.

Xia Qing respected and admired Liu Jie because he was walking down a path that she was also aiming for.

She was present because she had sought out An He and asked him to take her to this gathering.

This was because she wanted to mix with Lin Yuan and Liu Jie and also because she heard that Lin Yuan had given a Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearl to Zong Ze.

Moreover, the Moon Empress had become a Class 6 Creation Master.

Xia Qing wanted to trade with Lin Yuan and obtain pure elemental energy from him.

Although she could ask her grandfather to trade with the Moon Empress for any resources she needed, the older she became, the more she understood that she needed to fight for the things she wanted herself.

When Xia Qing nodded and greeted him, Lin Yuan returned the gesture.

Liu Jie and Xia Qing had become friends during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

After Liu Jie greeted Xia Qing, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and An He, he went to the kitchen to help Zong Ze.

Zong Ze was cooking the Kitchen Fragrance Palace's secret 300 dishes. Previously, he had not had enough ingredients and could not make several of the more complicated dishes. But this time, he had come fully prepared.

He had been in the kitchen since 5:00 p.m. yesterday carefully, preparing each dish.

The lychee in the Lychee Husband needed to be marinated, while the Crab Powder Shortbread involved removing the innards and flesh of Platinum Yolk Red Crab. Yet, these two dishes were not considered the more complicated ones in the 300 dishes.

Besides these side dishes, Zong Ze had even recruited some staff from the Kitchen Fragrance Palace to help him with the main dishes. They stayed until 9:00 a.m. this morning before Zong Ze allowed the two of them to return to the Kitchen Fragrance Palace.

1872 Wang Fuxiang's Gift!

Previously, Liu Jie and Zong Ze became friends in the kitchen.

Both of them admired the other's culinary skills.

Since Liu Jie was there, there was no way he would allow Zong Ze to slave away in the kitchen on his own.

Liu Jie did not know how to cook the Kitchen Fragrance Palace's secret recipes, but he was more than capable of doing the preparation work for Zong Ze.

!

When Gao Feng spotted Lin Yuan, he walked over to him and said, "Brother Lin, Master is going to take me to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline tomorrow. Once I contract a fey with the Barren bloodline, my power will increase significantly."

Lin Yuan smiled and replied, "Your combat style is set. I'm sure Lord Cicada Song will pick a support-type fey with the Barren bloodline for you!"

Gao Feng nodded.

Cicada Song had mentioned the choice of fey with the Barren bloodline to Gao Feng. He had made it clear that he would be picked a fey with the Barren bloodline that was skilled at support.

Previously, Gao Feng had been a spirit qi professional that could not even find a team to participate in the S Tournament with.

Ever since he became a disciple of royalty and participated in the group battle against the Freedom Federation that had ended with the Radiance Federation's victory, Gao Feng had become more confident.

Recently, even his father, who rarely cracked a smile in front of him, started praising him out of habit. He even asked for Gao Feng's opinion on some important affairs.

Gao Feng was very thankful to Liu Jie and Lin Yuan for this. They were the ones who had enabled his life to transform.

If Lin Yuan had not nurtured the Yellow Spring Lily for him, Cicada Song would never have noticed him and picked him to be his disciple.

Gao Feng was well aware of his value.

Xia Qing pursed her lips when she heard what Gao Feng said but did not comment.

Although she had not acknowledged his power and felt that he would never be able to become a Radiance Envoy no matter how many opportunities he ran into the next two years, his sacred source lifeform the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box and the Yellow Spring Lily's abilities made him a slam dunk to become a Radiance Knight.

This especially applied to the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box. Even Xia Qing did not know how she would break its abilities.

As long as her sacred source lifeform's Stars were not significantly higher than the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box, she would not be able to use her sacred source lifeform's abilities.

Gu Lang took out a brocade box. Once he opened it, the thick fragrance of bamboo filled the entire yard.

There were purple and gold bamboo leaves in the brocade box. Golden threads were covering the leaves that resembled veins.

Gu Lang picked up one of the purple and gold leaves and placed it into the teapot before pouring boiling Grassword Fountain Water in.

In an instant, the fragrance of the tea intensified.

Gu Lang said to Lin Yuan, "Master asked me to bring this when he heard I was coming for this meal! They are old leaves that fell off the Golden Thearch Bamboo. When they are soaked in water, they can significantly boost the increment of spiritual energy. Although the effects will only be significant the first time you drink it, the next ten times will still produce evident effects. There are exactly 50 leaves, and I took out five to make the tea. Lin Yuan, the rest are for you! It's a gift from Master."

A look of surprise spread across Lin Yuan's face.

The only thing that could be said that he felt lacking in was that he never dared to use up his spiritual energy excessively.

He had once consumed the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' fruit, which increased his spiritual energy significantly.

Nonetheless, he dared not contract feys that were above Gold grade.

The leaves of the Golden Thearch Bamboo were famed for being able to increase spiritual energy. Its effects were much stronger than the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' fruits.

If he drank the tea boiled from the Golden Thearch Bamboo's leaves ten times, his spiritual energy would triple its original amount at the very least. From then on, he would not have to be restricted to spirit-locking feys to contract them.

To people who did not have many resources, contracting too many feys would spread their resources too thin. This would limit their increase in power.

After all, there was no way that even 10 Gold feys would be able to take down a Diamond fey.

But to someone like Lin Yuan, who had no lack of resources, the more feys he contracted, the stronger his combat power would be.

Two years was a long time. If he could spend that time nurturing more feys, his arsenal of feys would once again become a thing of mystery during the fight against the Freedom Federation.

Moreover, all of Lin Yuan's feys were nurtured with only the best methods. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

After the feys evolved from Fantasy Breed to Myth Breed, their bloodlines would experience a breakthrough and become stronger. At that point, his feys' power could not be assessed using historical means.

Gu Lang mentioned that his Master wanted to give him the Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves.

Lin Yuan immediately thought back to the woman he saw in the Purchase With No Loss store, who could be described as a rose amongst thorns.

Lin Yuan remembered Wang Fuxiang saying that she had caused many husbands, boyfriends, and lovers to die. At that time, he never would have imagined that she would become the Bamboo Monarch's wife.

After giving the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen to the Moon Empress, she gifted it to Wang Fuxiang so that she could remove her bad luck.

She had taken up four boxes of the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds and was no longer affected by the bad luck.

It was likely that Wang Fuxiang was giving him something as precious as the Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves in order to repay the favor to the Moon Empress.

Lin Yuan would have turned it down if it was something that he did not need. But since the Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves could increase spiritual energy, Lin Yuan greatly needed it. Hence, he did not reject the gift.

Once Lin Yuan received the remaining 45 Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves, An He piped in. "Thanks to Lin Yuan, we're getting to drink tea brewed from the Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves. I should be able to contract another fey once I gulp down this tea!"

Gu Lang poured out a cup of tea for Lin Yuan first and said, "I will also get to enjoy today. The Golden Thearch Bamboo doesn't grow many leaves. An He hasn't drunk it before, but even I have only drunk it five or six times. My spiritual energy increases when I drink tea brewed from the Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves."

An He and Xia Qing were not shocked by what Gu Lang said.

Only three to seven leaves fell from the Golden Thearch Bamboo every year. This meant that Wang Fuxiang had given him about 10 years' worth of Golden Thearch Bamboo leaves.

1873 Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's Dragon Pearl!

An He and Xia Qing had heard of the Bamboo Monarch and Wang Fuxiang's situation.

They understood why Wang Fuxiang would give such a precious item to Lin Yuan. Nothing could be more valuable than one's life.

While they were eating, Xia Qing went straight to the point and said, "Hello, Lin Yuan. We met at the Radiance Sacred Hall previously. Since we shook hands then, it means that we're acquainted now. I would like to ask for your help. Is that possible?"

Xia Qing's words caused Wen Yu to frown. No matter what status Xia Qing had, who asked a person for help the moment they met?

Given Wen Yu's understanding of Lin Yuan, she knew that he would agree to help as long as the request did not cross the line.

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, "If I can help, I will."

Before he left the Radiant Moon Palace yesterday morning, the Moon Empress had told him about Xia Qing.

Lin Yuan understood that Xia Qing was more powerful than Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He.

A descendant who had been nurtured by someone who had started walking down heaven's path had to be stronger than the descendant an Eternal expert had nurtured.

But when the Moon Empress spoke to Lin Yuan, she complimented not only Xia Qing's power but also her intelligence.

Xia Qing had to be someone with substantial decorum if she was intelligent enough to earn the Moon Empress' praise.

Hence, Lin Yuan agreed.

Xia Qing went on to say, "I have a light-type fey. It has an almost impossible standard for the purity of the elemental energy it requires. There is a fey in the Radiant Moon Palace called the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus. I would like 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers. The light-elemental energy from the lotuses is as pure as that of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. As repayment, I will give you a special spiritual ingredient."

Xia Qing waved her hand, and a golden pearl appeared in her hand.

Despite it being the day, the pearl's light was still brilliant.

Lin Yuan could sense a strange aura from the pearl that he had sensed before from the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow and Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp.

Lin Yuan instantly realized that this was the aura of fortune.

Before he could use True Data to check on the pearl in Xia Qing's hand, Xia Qing launched into an explanation, "This is the dragon pearl left by the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon. It can evolve the bloodline of fortuitous feys that have the dragon bloodline as well as raise the ability to comprehend willpowers. It is a rare treasure! You aren't making a loss by using the dragon pearl from the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon to trade for 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers!"

Wen Yu's brow immediately relaxed when she heard what Xia Qing said.

Wen Yu had felt that it was rude for Xia Qing to request to trade with Lin Yuan.

But now, she had changed her mindset.

In the trade that Xia Qing proposed, where she would be using the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl to trade for 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers from Lin Yuan, he would benefit more than her.

This was because the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon was famed for being a treasure. It was much more precious than elemental pearls or the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers.

The Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon appeared naturally in nature amongst mountains and bodies of water. No one knew how it was born.

Once the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon grew up, it would automatically divide itself and release the energy stored in its body to the environment. All that was left was a dragon pearl to prove that it had once existed.

The Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon had once appeared in Jade Brocade City, which was the most opulent of the 32 major cities.

The Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon could benefit the lifeforms in a territory as much as a sea or a large whale fall could.

If Lin Yuan wore the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl for a prolonged time, it would substantially benefit his ability to comprehend Willpower Runes from nature.

Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and An He were shocked by Xia Qing's generous offer. They shared the same thoughts as Wen Yu.

They felt that the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl's greatest use came in its ability to boost the comprehension of Willpower Runes.

However, Lin Yuan did not share this opinion.

Firstly, it was already very easy for him to comprehend Willpower Runes. Secondly, there was a fortuitous fey in the Return from Faraway Mansion that could use the Brocade Embroidered Dragon's dragon pearl.

The Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow was an avian-type fey and did not possess a dragon-species bloodline.

However, the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps in the red sandalwood longevity fish tank had a hint of the dragon-species bloodline. Most fish-species feys could go down the path of becoming a flood dragon.

The Mother of Bloodbath had told Lin Yuan long ago that the three Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps were experiencing the extremely rare simultaneous evolution.

Simultaneous evolution referred to several lifeforms with the same genes evolving as a collective entity.

The member of royalty who presided over Cultivated Garden's main feys had come about from simultaneous evolution.

Although the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps had been simultaneously evolving for half a year, they were unsuccessful.

Lin Yuan felt that if the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp, the clear leader of the three, swallowed the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl, the simultaneous evolution would take place.

Lin Yuan did not immediately receive the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl from Xia Qing.

Lin Yuan looked into Xia Qing's eyes and said seriously, "The Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's pearl is very tempting to me, but it is much more valuable than 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers. Why don't I trade 50 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers with you instead? I can guarantee that each flower contains light-type energy of the same purity as that of heavenly-maiden-pearls with outer layers.

"If you don't need so many of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers, you can also request any of the four types of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupas, the Dark Crystal Armored Insect's shells, or the Plasma Snail's secretions."

No one doubted that Lin Yuan would be able to make good on his word. After all, towering behind him was the Moon Empress, a Class 6 Creation Master. Reêad latest 𝒏ov𝒆ls at n𝒐𝒐v/e/l/bi𝒏.com

At that moment, the same description of Lin Yuan popped into Xia Qing, Gu Lang, and An He's minds—detail-oriented.

Both Gu Lang and An He had been blessed by Lin Yuan and knew what kind of person he was.

However, this was the first time Xia Qing worked with Lin Yuan.

From this trade, Xia Qing could be certain that he was a person worth forming ties with.

1874 Cheers to Two Years Later!

Since their previous encounter had also been their first encounter, they had only chatted briefly in the Radiance Sacred Hall.

Once Xia Qing returned home, her grandfather had asked her if she was interested in Lin Yuan.

She had admitted that his appearance, power, and character, which she was just starting to understand, were fatal attacks on any young girl's heart.

However, she had no place for romance in her life. Reêad latest 𝒏ov𝒆ls at n𝒐𝒐v/e/l/bi𝒏.com

Xia Qing's dream was to use her body to protect the Radiance Federation, just like her parents had done.

As such, many people, including her grandfather, had misunderstood the reason for the attitude toward Lin Yuan.

However, Xia Qing did not bother to explain herself.

There were many types of emotions in the world.

Xia Qing preferred reliable comrades over romantic partners.

At first, Xia Qing had felt lonely. But once Lin Yuan and Liu Jie appeared, Xia Qing realized that she had never been fighting on her own.

Xia Qing looked at Lin Yuan and smiled gently, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"It's true that I don't need so many of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers. Why not we go with 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers and 20 of the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupas."

Xia Qing remembered that her grandfather's feys needed pure wood-type energy. As such, it would be better for her to obtain the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupas from Lin Yuan and give them to her grandfather.

The Moon Empress had been in seclusion for a long time. Now that she had come out of seclusion and had become a Class 6 Creation Master, she needed to stabilize her abilities and purify the Eternal Heart.

As such, it was unlikely that she had time to use pure spirit qi to nurture the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly and enable it to turn into a pupa.

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, "I'll deliver them to you tomorrow morning."

Xia Qing did not expect Lin Yuan to set the trade timing to be so soon.

"You don't need to deliver them to me. I will be visiting the Creation Master Association tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. You can hand the items to me then. You can take the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl. I trust you."

Xia Qing stuffed the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl into Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan could sense Xia Qing's kind gesture.

Although Lin Yuan and Xia Qing had just become acquainted, it was all but certain that she would become a Radiance Envoy.

Two years later, both he and Xia Qing would be attending the Major Federation Meeting as substitutes.

As such, she was a comrade with whom he would be fighting alongside in the future.

Wen Yu had been observing Lin Yuan and Xia Qing's expressions. She could not read Xia Qing, but given her understanding of Lin Yuan, she knew that he did not have any inappropriate thoughts about Xia Qing.

It was not an exaggeration to call him a clueless man.

About half an hour later, Zong Ze and Liu Jie carried out trays filled with dishes.

When Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, Gao Feng, and the rest saw that Liu Jie and Zong Ze were done cooking, they automatically headed to the kitchen to help to bring the food out. They were all so close now that there was no need for formalities.

All of them enjoyed the meal tremendously. This meal was like a swan song for them. For the next two years, they would all be going off to train on their own.

This meal was also to celebrate their victory against the Freedom Federation envoy group and their feat of protecting the Radiance Federation's honor.

Zong Ze went to Kitchen Fragrance Palace and, much to Chef Supreme's chagrin, took out five bottles of the Hundred Flavor Wine that had been fermenting for 70 years.

Chef Supreme was truly suspecting whether his third disciple was actually his reincarnated enemy from a past life.

His first disciple had almost caused the Spirit Savory Pig to go extinct, while his second disciple had used his reputation to open the Spirit Food Pavilion. He was using the 300 dishes that Chef Supreme had crafted to serve customers.

The only thing that Kitchen Fragrance Palace had left was the Hundred Flavor Wine. Yet, his third disciple had taken five bottles of it.

Normally, they did not pair alcohol with their meals. But this time, all of them partook in drinking.

However, all of them were B-rank spirit qi professionals, and their feys had reached Diamond X/Fantasy V. These feys enabled them to have high resistance. As such, none of them were drunk even after the five bottles of the Hundred Flavor Wine were emptied.

But all of them did visit the bathroom several times.

They poured out the last of the wine and clinked their glasses together.

"Let's all try to become A-rank spirit qi professionals in the next two years!"

"Nonsense! If I don't become an A-rank spirit qi professional, I'll fall behind all of you!"

"Let's agree to gather back here for another feast two years later!"

"An He, stop eating! Your sacred source lifeform is special, but that doesn't mean you can be lazy for the next two years!"

"No! When I think about how I won't be able to see all of you for the next two years, my heart aches! I don't even have the mood to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline tomorrow!"

"Gao Feng, stop with your nonsense! You've mentioned contracting a fey with the Barren bloodline countless times during the meal!"

Xia Qing had never attended such an event before. She sat next to Wen Yu, and both of them naturally ended up chatting.

Xia Qing asked Wen Yu, "Does Lin Yuan normally drink?"

Wen Yu replied honestly, "This is the second time I've seen him drink."

The last time Lin Yuan had drunk was with Wen Yu and Liu Jie on the grass of the Return from Faraway Mansion when Sky City had just been established.

Although only a few months had passed and Lin Yuan had been extremely green then, he had grown significantly since then.

While Lin Yuan was in completely different stages of growth during both drinking sessions, Wen Yu was still the same.

She felt that all she needed to do in this life was to follow this dashing young man in front of her. She would accompany him into adulthood and then into old age to help him take good care of Sky City.

Once the last cups were gulped down, Lin Yuan did not help Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest to evolve their feys.

It was not that Lin Yuan could not bear to part with the resources as he had already set aside resources for these friends of his.

However, all of them had their own roads to go down for the next two years. They would also be given different opportunities.

He could wait until they gathered together again two years later to use pure spirit qi to evolve their feys.

...

Two years later, when he helped them evolve their feys' bloodlines, it would be on the cusp of the Major Federation Meeting when they had to put their lives on the line for the Radiance Federation's glory.

When Lin Yuan left Zong Ze's residence, he did not return to the Return from Faraway Mansion with Liu Jie and Wen Yu.

Although he had already obtained his first precious weapon, he clearly still looked forward to the precious instrument that the Moon Empress had made for him using the body of the Diving Songstress.

1875 Fish World Sea Trump Card!

Lin Yuan used Node Transportation to send himself to the Radiant Moon Palace.

Once he reached the inner palace of the Radiant Moon Palace, he saw the Moon Empress smiling at a blue item in her hands. Clearly, she was very satisfied with it.

Once Lin Yuan appeared in the Radiant Moon Palace, he could feel the mermaid bloodline power coming from the blue item.

However, he felt irked and derisive about the mermaid bloodline power. It was as though he had to share the room with a cockroach.

!

Lin Yuan did not even feel this put off by things he did not like.

Having this feeling made Lin Yuan amazed by the dominance of the mermaid bloodline. He now knew how more elite mermaids felt toward inferior mermaids. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

From the mermaid bloodline power of the blue item, Lin Yuan could be certain that the Moon Empress was holding the precious weapon made using the Diving Songstress' body.

The Moon Empress waved at Lin Yuan and said, "Little Yuan, come and take a look at this. This precious instrument's ability is not bad. But in order to use it, you will have to eat spiritual ingredients like the Dragon Blood Crystal Thread Date and goji berries to boost your blood."

Lin Yuan walked over to the Moon Empress.

He used True Data to check on the blue precious instrument in the Moon Empress' hand.

A smile suddenly bloomed on his face because he noticed that the precious instrument made from the Diving Songstress' body had reached 8 Stars.

This meant that the Diving Songstress' body had not dropped Stars during the forging process.

The Moon Empress' ability was largely related to this result.

Lin Yuan could not imagine how many precious materials the Moon Empress had used to forge the Fish World Sea Trump Card.

Previously, he felt that he would have been more than satisfied if he was able to obtain a 7 Stars precious instrument. With help from Frigid, the 7 Stars precious instrument would be boosted to 9 Stars. When the Cold Season Poisonous Fish was added, its cold season power could raise it to 10 Stars.

But now, with help from Frigid, the Fish World Sea Trump Card would be boosted to the legendary 10 Stars. If the Cold Season Poisonous Fish was added, Lin Yuan might be able to attain the 11 Stars precious instrument whose existence had not even been confirmed yet.

In terms of its abilities, the Fish World Sea Trump Card was a functional and attack-type precious instrument.

Normally, precious instruments made from the body of sacred source lifeforms usually retained abilities that were related to the abilities that the sacred source lifeforms had when they were still alive.

Clearly, the Fish World Sea Trump Card's abilities had gone beyond the Diving Songstress' abilities.

One usually needed to use spiritual power to activate precious instruments. However, this did not apply to all precious instruments.

For example, the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute needed water-elemental energy.

In order to activate the Fish World Sea Trump Card, it had to be paired with the mermaid bloodline because the mermaid bloodline had to be injected into it.

After absorbing sufficient mermaid power, the Fish World Sea Trump Card would create a territory known as the Fish World.

Every mermaid bloodline of different grades would be able to produce a mermaid in the fish world.

The mermaid would blow its clarion while singing and creating waves in the fish world. When facing the double assaults from the waves and the mermaid song, the target would dissolve into bubbles once it failed to hold out against the brutal waves and seductive song.

As the mermaid bloodline evolved, the mermaid in the fish world would also transform.

The mermaid blowing the clarion was formed after the Fish World Sea Trump Card absorbed the regular mermaid bloodline's power. If the mermaid king or emperor bloodline's power was injected into the Fish World Sea Trump Card, who knew what kind of mermaid would be summoned?

A low-grade mermaid could not alter its own bloodline. However, a high-grade mermaid could divide up its bloodline power.

For example, one drop of Lin Yuan's emperor mermaid bloodline could be divided to produce a bucketful of the mermaid king bloodline.

The ability to divide its bloodline allowed high-grade mermaids to reward low-grade mermaids.

Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline came from Dark Blue.

As long as Dark Blue continued evolving with the best method, once it evolved to Fantasy Breed and then Myth Breed, the mermaid bloodline in Lin Yuan's body would strengthen accordingly.

Moreover, once Lin Yuan circulated the mermaid power and fused with the fish world, he would become the master of seas for three seconds.

Once he exited the state of being the master of seas, the mermaid bloodline in his body would wither. It would take a long time of nourishment before the mermaid bloodline could recover.

Since the aftereffects of this ability were so severe, Lin Yuan would not use it flippantly.

Regardless, Lin Yuan's power would increase again once he had the Fish World Sea Trump Card.

The Moon Empress handed the Fish World Sea Trump Card to Lin Yuan and said, "Precious instruments like this that require the use of bloodline power are very rare. Thankfully you have the mermaid bloodline in your body. Otherwise, this precious instrument that I painstakingly forged would have gone to waste."

Lin Yuan did not immediately form a contract with the Fish World Sea Trump Card. Instead, he said sincerely to the Moon Empress, "Master, thank you!"

The Moon Empress had a gentle smile hanging on her lips. But when she heard Lin Yuan's thanks, her expression turned stern as she replied, "Little Yuan, what are you thanking me for? Since you gave me the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls and pure elemental energy, I should be the one thanking you!"

The Moon Empress gently tousled Lin Yuan's hair. Her tone softened again as she said, "Little Yuan, I'm only doing what I should for you. You never have to thank me!"

Lin Yuan raised his head and looked into the Moon Empress' gentle and serious eyes as he nodded.

Just as he was about to speak, the Moon Empress interrupted him and said, "Quickly, contract the precious instrument! Once you're done with the contract, you can have a meal with me."

The Moon Empress knew that Lin Yuan was about to go out to train because he had told her about it.

The Moon Empress also wanted to take him out to train, just like Cold Moon did for Chu Ci.

However, Lin Yuan did not like to rely on others. He depended on himself throughout his journey and was clear about what he wanted.

The Moon Empress knew that if she overly interfered with Lin Yuan's growth, she would end up being a hindrance. Thus, she had no choice but to let go so he could fly freely.

1876 Clean Burning Federation's Duke Sparrow!

The Moon Empress might not be able to see her precious disciple many times in the next two years while he was out training. As such, she was insistent on having a meal with him before he left.

Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "Master, it just so happens that I have picked up a thing or two from Liu Jie. Why don't you let me do the cooking?"

While he spoke, he fused with Dark Blue and transformed into a merman.

Lin Yuan cut his palm open in his merman form and circulated his spiritual power to focus his bloodline on his wound's area.

The Moon Empress noticed that there were faint wisps of blue and gold in Lin Yuan's red blood.

Lin Yuan's blood stained the Fish World Sea Trump Card he was holding.

At first, he assumed that he was about to be done with the contraction of the Fish World Sea Trump Card. However, the contraction of the Fish World Sea Trump Card did not go as smoothly as the contraction of the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute.

This was because the higher the Stars of a precious instrument, the higher its requirements. Additionally, after absorbing Lin Yuan's blood, the originally purple and blue Fish World Sea Trump Card started to change.

The blue and gold hints from Lin Yuan's blood continued to enter the Fish World Sea Trump Card. The blue and gold parts were Lin Yuan's mermaid emperor bloodline.

Once the emperor mermaid bloodline entered the Fish World Sea Trump Card, its blue and purple exterior started to break down.

Lin Yuan reckoned that the blue and purple part of the Fish World Sea Trump Card had to be the thin mermaid king bloodline that came from the Diving Songstress.

This was why the blue and gold parts of Lin Yuan's blood caused the blue and purple parts to be filtered out.

The blue and purple tablet of the Fish World Sea Trump Card had two mermaids carved on it turned azure. A gold hue could be seen intermittently arising within the blue. There were now also four mermaids carved on it instead of two.

These four mermaids were all wearing heavy and intricate crowns. There seemed to be an ethereal image within the jade.

There were also serpentine patterns chiseled into the surface of the jade.

When Lin Yuan flipped the jade over, he saw that there was a carving of an entire sea world.

Just as Lin Yuan felt that he was losing excessive blood and was growing weaker and was about to fall to the ground, the Fish World Sea Trump Card finally let out a simultaneous roar alongside Lin Yuan's soul.

Lin Yuan circulated his soul and formed a contract with the Fish World Sea Trump Card. After changing its appearance significantly, the Fish World Sea Trump Card had finally become Lin Yuan's precious instrument.

The Moon Empress did not even bat an eye when she herself was injured.

But when she saw Lin Yuan losing a large amount of blood in order to contract the precious instrument, her heart ached badly.

Once Lin Yuan was done contracting the precious weapon, she held up two of the Platinum Dragon Blood Crystal Thread Dates to Lin Yuan's mouth.

Once he consumed the two Dragon Blood Crystal Thread Dates, all the blood energy that Lin Yuan had lost was replenished.

While Lin Yuan was chewing on the Dragon Blood Crystal Thread Dates, the Moon Empress took over the Fish World Sea Trump Card and took a silk cloth out of her spatial equipment that was weaved from Moon Shadow Gauze.

The Moon Empress used the silk cloth to hang the Fish World Sea Trump Card around Lin Yuan's waist.

"At first, I felt that the precious instrument's appearance was lacking. But now that your bloodline has transformed it, it looks good enough to be used as an accessory. With it hanging on your waist, the ignorant won't be able to tell that it's a precious weapon. Those who are able to identify it as a precious weapon will be deterred from attacking you."

At that moment, Mystic Moon walked in.

When he saw the Moon Empress and Lin Yuan chatting, he could not help but think, Is it a bad time for me to give a report? However, the imperial court has already sent people to rush us. They are anxious to start the imperial meeting. The imperial meeting will also be largely related to the Young Lord.

As such, Mystic Moon said, "Moon Empress, Purple Love has gone to the imperial court again. She said that she needs a middleman to protect the benefits of both sides during the Heavenly Family Cottage's alliance with the Radiance Federation. She picked the Young Lord to be this middleman."

The Moon Empress frowned slightly, but she understood Purple Love's intention.

Purple Love was essentially declaring that the Heavenly Family Cottage was only forming an alliance with the Radiance Federation because of Lin Yuan.

This was the truth. Otherwise, given the character of the Heavenly Family Cottage, they would never think of finding an ally, even if they truly went to war with Tower Canon.

This meeting demonstrated Lin Yuan's status and would also allow him to attain some benefits.

At first, the Moon Empress had not understood why Purple Love made a beeline to the Return from Faraway Mansion immediately after arriving at the Radiance Federation.

She would not need to do so if it was only for the Mother of Bloodbath.

Later, Blood New Moon brought Jade Sundial's soul to visit the Moon Empress.

This was when the Moon Empress found out that Lin Yuan had revived Jade Sundial's soul and just how much Lin Yuan had done for the Heavenly Family Cottage.

As such, the Heavenly Family Cottage used itself as the stake to help Lin Yuan garner more benefits.

The Moon Empress no longer had any points of doubt.

Since the meeting was so important to Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress was not going to delay any longer.

The Moon Empress reached out and adjusted Lin Yuan's collar as she said, "Since we won't be able to have a meal together, why don't you take a walk with me around the garden? I will have to go to the imperial court for a meeting in ten minutes."

Lin Yuan obediently followed the Moon Empress.

The Radiant Moon Palace's garden was separated into the inner garden and outer garden.

The outer garden was outside of the Radiant Moon Palace and filled with wondrous flora and fauna. Every person who visited the Radiant Moon Palace, even the other members of royalty, made a point to admire the outer garden.

On the other hand, only the Moon Empress, Cold Moon, and Mystic Moon were allowed to enter the inner garden. Even the four tea attendants and moon attendants did not have the authority to enter the inner garden.

Lin Yuan had already visited the inner garden several times. But the more he learned and experienced, the more he realized just how extraordinary the inner garden was.

It was likely that the Moon Empress had invested a lot of effort into the garden. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

The Moon Empress casually picked one of the fruits from the Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth III Honey-Storing Spirit Curled Peach Tree at the entrance of the garden.

She handed it to Lin Yuan and said, "I traded for the Honey-Storing Spirit Curled Peach Tree from Duke Sparrow of the Clean Burning Federation 20 years ago when I had just become a Class 5 Creation Master.

"It only produces fruits once every five years. Less than a year after the last batch of fruits was produced five years ago, Chef Supreme and the Bamboo Monarch traded all of them away for resources.

"This time, none of this batch of fruits has been picked yet. Little Yuan, have a taste. After eating it, your energy channels will be strengthened, and your body's spiritual power capacity will increase. This will make it easier for you to raise your spirit qi professional rank."

1877 Merciful Star Peony

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

He chewed on the Honey-Storing Spirit Curled Peach while he stared at the Honey-Storing Curled Peach Tree.

He noticed that the Honey-Storing Spirit Curled Peach Tree had only produced 11 fruits. This was considered a very small yield.

The Moon Empress had not specifically described the effects of the Honey-Storing Spirit Curled Peach, but it was likely that it was no ordinary fruit.

!

Once Lin Yuan was done eating the Honey-Storing Spirit Curled Peach, he stored the rest of the fruits.

As for the Clean Burning Federation, Lin Yuan had heard of it before. It was a powerful second-tier federation below the three major federations.

The two dukes of the Clean Burning Federation were Duke Rhino and Duke Sparrow. Both of them were Class 5 Creation Masters.

With two Class 5 Creation Masters, the Clean Burning Federation used to completely overwhelm the Spirit Mother Federation.

Lin Yuan was about to head to the Divine Wood Federation to train.

He would have plenty of opportunities to come into contact with bigshots from other federations.

The Moon Empress did not just ask Lin Yuan to come to the garden with her to admire the view.

She knew what Lin Yuan's fey affiliations were, so she had nurtured a plant-type fey not long ago. If not for her being unaffiliated with plant-type feys, she would have formed a contract with it without hesitation.

Just from the plant-type fey's basic abilities, it could be considered a strategic-class fey.

The Moon Empress pulled Lin Yuan to the only table in the inner garden and pointed at a sprout with four leaves on it as she said, "Little Yuan, this is a new fey I nurtured. Does it catch your fancy?"

While the Moon Empress was speaking, the sprout sensed that someone was approaching and started to move two of its leaves.

While its leaves moved, moonlight that resembled water droplets was released.

When the moonlight came into contact with Lin Yuan, it gave him a very familiar feeling. It was very similar to the moonbeam power that came from the Sacred Cry Moon Beast. It was likely that the plant-type fey was deeply connected to the Sacred Cry Moon Beast.

The Moon Empress went on to say, "This plant-type fey used to be a regular Lamp Sun Peony. It is used to illuminate the garden at night. While I was creating the Moon Dew Revival Pill, I accidentally dropped a drop of the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's tear onto the Lamp Sun Peony. As a result, the Lamp Sun Peony mutated!"

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Lamp Sun Peony that had been mutated by the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's tear.

A fey that had mutated due to such an elite spiritual ingredient had to have decent abilities!

[Fey Name: Merciful Star Peony Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

[Fey Species: Buttercup species/peony species

[Fey Grade: Bronze (10/10)

[Fey Type: Wood/Light

[Fey Quality: Legend

Abilities:

[Activate Light: In a place filled with starlight, it will be guided by the stars and be unaffected by blinding effects. In a place with absolute darkness, the surroundings can still be clearly seen.

[Casted Item Starlight: When stars appear, the starlight can temper the body to improve the body's quality.

Exclusive Skill:

[Constellation Imprint: Attempt to communicate with the stars. A star imprint will appear on the body if the communication is successful. The star imprint can help the body to take on all curse effects. When the star imprint is triggered, the energy within it will flow into the body and raise the body's quality within a short period.

Once Lin Yuan was done reading the True Data, he immediately understood why the Moon Empress thought so well of this peony.

Most feys' strength came from their combat abilities. This was the kind of fey with which spirit qi professionals most preferred to form contracts.

There was a type of fey that did not have combat abilities but could boost its spirit qi professional. Compared to it, feys with strong combat abilities were not valuable at all. The Merciful Star Peony was just one such fey. In fact, it was considered one of the outstanding ones.

Activate Light could allow a person to see even in the darkest environments. It also provided resistance against any abilities that caused blindness.

This ability might seem useless, but it would be called a miracle in the right environment, such as the underground world.

Compared to Activate Light, Lin Yuan was more interested in Casted Item Starlight.

Once a spirit qi professional formed a contract with the Merciful Star Peony, Casted Item Starlight could use starlight to temper the spirit qi professional's body.

Below a certain level, the strength of a spirit qi professional's body was limited.

For example, an emperor-class expert's body would never be able to compare with that of a thearch-class expert.

Yet, Casted Item Starlight would be able to allow a spirit qi professional to break through this limit.

An ability like this that strengthened the body using starlight could not be replaced by any other ability.

Using the Muscle Hyperthymesia Grass, Lin Yuan had attained all types of combat skills and fighting strategies.

Given that Lin Yuan liked to fight using Blackie's Spirit Essence Explosion, using Casted Item Starlight would allow Lin Yuan's combat abilities to increase significantly.

Moreover, no matter how powerful a spirit qi professional was, even the quality of an Eternal expert's body would not be able to compare to that of a fey.

Unless an expert started walking down heaven's path, a spirit qi professional's body would always be the easiest target during battle.

With Casted Item Starlight, Lin Yuan's body would not only not be a burden to his feys during battle, but it might even be stronger than theirs.

As for Constellation Imprint, Lin Yuan felt that it was a powerful boosting ability.

The more stars he communicated with, the more star imprints would appear on his body. With many star imprints activated in times of danger, his body would be boosted substantially.

More importantly, Constellation Imprint could provide resistance against curse effects.

Lin Yuan's arsenal of defense still did not include defense against curses.

Now that this gap had been made up for, Lin Yuan's defense had taken a large stride forward.

Zong Ze and Wang Fuxiang were the best examples of how terrifying curses could be.

If the Moon Empress could contract the Merciful Star Peony, Lin Yuan would never agree to accept it.

But since the Moon Empress could not form a contract with the Merciful Star Peony because of an affiliation issue, Lin Yuan would help himself to it.

1878 The Moon Empress' Big Move!

When Lin Yuan contracted feys in the past, he had always contracted them at the Normal grade.

This was because he was lacking in spiritual energy and could not afford to be as free-handed with it as other spirit qi professionals were.

Some spirit qi professionals directly formed contracts with Gold and Platinum grade feys just because the fey appealed to them. Lin Yuan could never think of doing something so thriftless.

But after consuming many of the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia's fruits and tea brewed from the Golden Thearch Bamboo's leaves, Lin Yuan's spiritual energy had been raised significantly.

!

He would have no issue contracting a Bronze fey.

Frankly, Lin Yuan could have used other methods to contract the Merciful Star Peony. If he used Morbius' exclusive skill, he would spirit-lock the Merciful Star Peony and form a contract with it.

However, this would only give Lin Yuan access to the Merciful Star Peony's Normal ability, Activate Light.

Although Lin Yuan could just find another Endless Gem for Morbius to fuse with, and he would be able to unlock the Merciful Star Peony's other abilities and exclusive skill, all he knew now was that the Endless Gems came from the dimensional worlds. He did not know anything else.

He could not be certain when he would be able to obtain the next Endless Gem. It could even be years later.

If Lin Yuan had access to Casted Item Starlight and Constellation Imprint for a few years, his body would already have been strengthened by numerous star imprints.

Eventually, Lin Yuan decided to use spiritual energy to form a contract with the Merciful Star Peony.

While Lin Yuan was checking on the Merciful Star Peony, the Moon Empress carefully studied him. She saw that his face lit up with joy moments after laying his eyes on the Merciful Star Peony.

This meant that Lin Yuan had seen through the Merciful Star Peony's abilities and exclusive skill in a few seconds. Such investigative abilities had already reached the level of pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, or maybe even Class 5 Creation Master.

The Moon Empress thought back to how she had just reached pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master when she had been his age. She only became a Class 4 Creation Master when she reached 21 years old.

In her heart, the Moon Empress could not help but marvel at Lin Yuan's talent. If he was not her disciple, she would have wondered if someone who could grow to such an extent in just a year was actually not human but a monster.

At that moment, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Master, I really like the Merciful Star Peony. If you don't need it, I will form a contract with it."

The Moon Empress immediately replied, "Then you should form a contract with the Merciful Star Peony now!"

In the past decade, the Moon Empress had been doing all she could to accumulate resources. She tried her best to obtain any and all outstanding resources. This was why she had been able to grow so quickly.

But now, although she could form a contract with the Merciful Star Peony, she eventually decided to give the Merciful Star Peony to Lin Yuan.

It was not because she did not need the boost from the Merciful Star Peony's Casted Item Starlight now that she had started walking down heaven's path.

The greater the frontier that an expert reached, the more difficult it would be for them to increase their power. Every minute improvement had to be fought for.

The Moon Empress would rather eat into her benefits in order to further Lin Yuan's growth because she had learned the true meaning of legacy in the past year.

When Lin Yuan circulated his spiritual energy to form a contract with the Merciful Star Peony, he could tell from how much spiritual energy he used up that he still had enough to form a contract with a fey that was Silver grade and below.

When the Moon Empress saw that Lin Yuan was fone forming a contract with the Merciful Star Peony, she took out a white jade bottle and said, "Little Yuan, this bottle contains the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's tears. Since the Merciful Star Peony mutated after the tears guided it, it should be able to evolve its bloodline in the future. Hold on to the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's tears for now. If the Merciful Star Peony's bloodline can evolve, you can pour the tears onto its roots."

Lin Yuan nodded seriously.

He knew that the Moon Empress was teaching him.

In actuality, he knew what to do even without the Moon Empress telling him because he had experience from nurturing Chimey and Genius.

Genius and Chimey's situations had been very similar to the Merciful Star Peony.

Genius had evolved from the Hundred Questions Beast to the Thousand Questions Beast, to the Beast that Connects Everything, and finally to the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast. Now, it was an unprecedented lifeform that had the intelligent-cat-species and intelligent-cat-genus.

Chimey had evolved from the Sound Bird to the Stream Cloud Azure Bird, to the Clear Voice Luan Sparrow, and finally, to the unprecedented Command Phoenix New Day Sparrow that had the sound-sparrow-species and sound-sparrow-genus.

The Merciful Star Peony had evolved from the Lamp Run Peony. If Lin Yuan could properly nurture it, the Merciful Star Peony might be able to go down the same path and end up as an unprecedented lifeform.

The Moon Empress had said everything that she needed to say to Lin Yuan.

As she looked at Lin Yuan whose brow had only relaxed a year ago, she could not help but reach out to hug him.

"Little Yuan, you have to be conscious of avoiding danger when you're out training. I will wait for you to return to the Radiant Moon Palace," said the Moon Empress.

Before Lin Yuan had time to reply, the Moon Empress' figure disappeared and reappeared below the Leaning Moon Mountain.

About ten seconds later, Mystic Moon appeared next to the Moon Empress.

No expression of shock appeared on his face after he saw the Moon Empress hug Lin Yuan. However, he felt that there was more to this hug than what met the eye.

Mystic Moon had spent many years by the Moon Empress' side and never pegged her for one who liked to express her emotions.

Could she be worried for Lin Yuan because he was going out to train?

Lin Yuan had just formed a contract with an 8 Stars precious instrument, and it would be foolish to underestimate him.

Besides the 8 Stars precious weapon, Lin Yuan also had the Extreme Token and Crescent Moon Radiant Sunlight Tablet that the Moon Empress had given him.

Mystic Moon did not think that anything existed in the Startling Lines Continent that could threaten Lin Yuan's safety. As such, there was no reason for the Moon Empress to be worried about Lin Yuan's safety.

While Mystic Moon was wrapped up in confusion, the Moon Empress said, "The Totem Moon has been fixed above the Clean Burning Federation. I have repaid Duke Sparrow for the debt I owed him from 20 years ago. Recall the Totem Moon! Additionally, call Dark, Clear, Round, and Blank back."

Mystic Moon's expression froze.

The Moon Empress had not even activated the four Moon Servants back during the period of peril ten years ago.

Why now… Could the Moon Empress be preparing to make a big move?

… Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

Before Lin Yuan left the Radiant Moon Palace, he did not forget the reason he had come to the Radiant Moon Palace.

1879 Why is the Young Lord Interested in Something Like This?

Lin Yuan turned and went into the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

At that moment, the four moon attendants just happened to be cleaning up the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

There were hundreds of thousands of books stored in the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

Lin Yuan had seen the Annal of Monster Information before. Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

!

But if he tried to search for the Annal of Monster Information in the Hidden Moon Pavilion, it would take him an unknown amount of time.

He said to the two moon attendants stationed at the Hidden Moon Pavilion, "Help me find the Annal of Monster Information."

The moon attendants held the list of books stored in the Hidden Moon Pavilion. Looking for books by referring to the list was undoubtedly the quickest method.

All the moon attendants had witnessed over time how much the Moon Empress adored Lin Yuan.

It was because Lin Yuan had picked Wen Yu to become his assistant that she eventually became Mystic Moon's disciple.

The moon attendants envied Wen Yu and admired Lin Yuan.

The four moon attendants were extremely excited when they saw Lin Yuan.

Previously, they had not been aware of Lin Yuan's power. All the respect they felt for him came from him being the Young Lord of the Radiant Moon Palace.

But when Lin Yuan revealed his true power during the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group, it dawned on the moon attendants that their Young Lord was actually so mighty!

Lin Yuan was so impressive that the moon attendants' admiration of him changed into veneration.

Now that Lin Yuan was asking them for help, the two moon attendants hastily said, "Young Lord, the annals are all placed from level one to seven. We will go and fetch it for you now! With the Heaven's Eye Vine's help, we will definitely be able to get you the book you want in 10 minutes!"

While the moon attendants were searching for the Annal of Monster Information for him, Lin Yuan casually picked up a book related to Class 4 Fey Observers and started to skim through it.

When the two moon attendants brought him the Annal of Monster Information, Lin Yuan said, "I'm taking this book. Uncle Mystic said that there are copies of all the books in the Hidden Moon Pavilion. You can fill the spot left by this book with a copy."

The two moon attendants hurriedly replied, "Young Lord, every time we take out a book from the Hidden Moon Pavilion, we will fill the empty spot with a copy. You don't need to worry. Even if this book is lost, there are many copies of it!"

While the two moon attendants were talking, they were thinking to themselves.

There were too many books in the Hidden Moon Pavilion. The two moon attendants were allowed to look through the information but had never read the Annal of Monster Information before.

When they brought Lin Yuan the book, they flipped through it casually. The more they read, the more they felt that the book's contents were ridiculous.

The book's contents were even more fantastical than the fantasy books posted by Star Web users.

The two moon attendants could not figure out why Lin Yuan wanted such a book. They felt that it would be a waste of time to read such a book.

But the two of them were moon attendants while Lin Yuan was the Young Lord of the Radiant Moon Palace. There was no way they were going to turn him down when he requested a book.

Could Lord Lin Yuan actually be an oaf who had a taste for such things?

The two moon attendants hurriedly scolded themselves.

How can I think of the Young Lord this way?

Lin Yuan did not have the time to care about what the two moon attendants were thinking.

He was also not in a rush to read the Annal of Monster Information because he had more than enough time in the future to read it.

The Annal of Monster Information had mentioned the Sacrifice sea demon and the Poisonous Magic. This was enough to make it worth Lin Yuan carefully studying it.

After Lin Yuan left the Radiant Moon Palace, he did not use Node Transportation to send himself to the Return from Faraway Mansion like he usually did.

When Lin Yuan needed to think, he liked to take a walk in a noisy street. The chaotic hustle and bustle brought peace to him, and the scent of a hectic life allowed him to lose himself. He wanted to do everything he could to protect this industriousness.

Previously, Lin Yuan would put on the mask that Genius transformed into using Tool Transformation whenever he wanted to walk in the streets without being recognized.

He did the same now. When he put on the silver mask, no one would realize who he was.

As he walked along the road, he brushed against at least 30 other people wearing silver masks. Moreover, the masks had updated designs to match the one that Lin Yuan wore during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Now that Lin Yuan had two precious instruments, he could not help but feel an itch to test them out during combat.

However, it was clear that it was not the right time to use them. Moreover, he needed to use up his mermaid bloodline in order to wield the Fish World Sea Trump Card. As such, Lin Yuan had to be cautious in his use of it.

Before Lin Yuan comprehended a suitable Willpower Rune, he would not evolve the Merciful Star Peony to Silver grade.

After all, Lin Yuan wanted to try to push the Merciful Star Peony down the same path that Chimey and Genius had taken.

The path that Genius and Chimey were going down was too difficult. In order for the Merciful Star Peony to follow in their footsteps, it had to ensure that every step it took was only done with its best foot forward so as not to waste any of its potential.

When Lin Yuan remembered the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl that he traded with Xia Qing, he stopped walking through the busy street and returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion to check if the dragon pearl could incite the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps to undergo simultaneous evolution.

When Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion, only Liu Jie was present.

After Wen Yu and Sun Ningxiang had a meal together, Lin Yuan sent them to the marsh world.

Listen was still preparing the resources on the lists in the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Pinru was at Sky City's Star Web territory.

Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, and Tan Ran were undergoing special training from Master Hong Shen.

The Mother of Bloodbath, Purple Love, Blood New Moon, White Phoenix, and the rest had rushed to the Radiance Federation's imperial court and would not be returning before nightfall.

Liu Jie was currently fighting on Star Web.

Since the Insect Queen had received the Emperor Core of All Insects' blessing, its abilities had been strengthened. As such, Liu Jie needed to continuously fight to get used to the strengthened Insect Queen and recalibrate his combat system.

When he heard that Liu Jie was busy, Lin Yuan did not bother him.

There was no way he would be able to evolve the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps inside the red sandalwood longevity fish tank because it was too small.

When the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps started to evolve with help from the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon, the fish tank would eventually burst.

Lin Yuan treasured the fish tank that Hu Quan had so painstakingly crafted.

1880 The Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' Simultaneous Evolution!

Just like the last time when Lin Yuan evolved the Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps into the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps, Lin Yuan brought them to the spirit pool in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Compared to the red sandalwood longevity fishtank, the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps much preferred to be in the spirit pool.

As the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps swam around inside the spirit pool, the images of mountains on their bodies started to flow.

Under the nourishment from pure spirit qi, two of the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps started swimming alongside the slightly larger Mountain River Eternal Life Carp. It was as though the two Mountain River Eternal Life Carps had become the arms of the larger Mountain River Eternal Life Carp. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏.com

!

Lin Yuan thought, With nourishment from pure spirit qi, the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps once again look like they are about to undergo simultaneous evolution.

Lin Yuan took the chance to toss the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl toward the larger Mountain River Eternal Life Carp.

When they sensed the dragon pearl's aura, the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps started to move together.

Although they were clearly fish, they had the aura of flood dragons as they swam around the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl.

Once the larger Mountain River Eternal Life Carp swallowed the dragon pearl, Lin Yuan fixed his gaze on it unblinkingly as he waited for it to transform.

But a moment later, he realized that it still had not changed in the slightest. It was as though the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl had no effect.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to lose his patience and fish the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp out of the water, he suddenly realized that the concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was rapidly depleting.

Lin Yuan heard Morbius' voice in his ear, "Partner, the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps are consuming all of the spirit qi produced by the spirit pool. In fact, they are consuming the spirit qi at a slightly faster rate than the spirit pool's rate of production.

"Although the concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone is falling, nothing serious will happen like when the Floating Island Whale had been hatching.

"However, the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies will lay eggs at a much slower rate. I suggest using some spirit qi crystals. This will not only maintain the rate at which the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies lay eggs but will also externally provide the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps with more pure spirit qi and enhance the triggering of simultaneous evolution.

"I have a feeling that once the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps undergo simultaneous evolution, they will become an impressive lifeform.

"Partner, you should take note of the fortuitous aura coming from the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps. It has already exceeded that of the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow. Once the evolution is complete, its fortuitous aura will definitely exceed that of the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow."

After listening to Morbius' suggestion, Lin Yuan became even more excited about the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' simultaneous evolution.

Morbius had also complimented the Death Demon Concubine Beast, but it had not said that it was an impressive lifeform.

For Morbius to give its praise, the evolved Mountain River Eternal Life Carps might become the strongest functional-type feys Lin Yuan possessed.

Lin Yuan did not hold back and took out handfuls of the spirit qi crystals.

Spirit qi crystals were no longer valuable to him.

Although the Spirit Lock spatial zone still only produced one spirit qi crystal every seven days, Lin Yuan could enable the Pure Land Bliss to absorb fragments of World Graces by helping Myth Breed feys overcome their World Cleansings. This would produce numerous spirit qi crystals.

Lin Yuan crushed handful after handful of spirit qi crystals and the concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was quickly replenished.

As Lin Yuan continued to use up the spirit qi crystals to nourish the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps, the color and pattern on the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' bodies started to change.

There were eight pure colors on the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' bodies, pure yellow, blue, emerald green, green, purple, orange, black, and crimson.

When Lin Yuan first laid eyes on the eight pure colors, he felt as though he could see life being born out of the orchestra of colors.

The eight colors depicted the image of mountains and rivers that were full of life.

The pure yellow, crimson, orange, and green gathered on the body of the center Mountain River Eternal Carp while the pure blue, emerald green, purple, and black spread out across the other two Mountain River Eternal Carps.

The three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps were like one body as they reorganized the eight source colors.

The six types of blessing patterns on the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' bodies started to swiftly combine.

Any one of the six blessings could bring unending fortune to the mountains, rivers, and earth.

While the blessings entwined around each other, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a sense of protection.

The Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' bodies became bare when the blessings combined.

Suddenly, the pure blue, emerald green, purple, and black exploded across the two flanking Mountain River Eternal Life Carps.

They were covered with a web of patterns from their head to tail.

The patterns seemed like unending cities surrounding the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp at the center. The patterns of grand cities were like protective walls that safeguarded the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp.

When the patterns appeared, the two Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' forms changed.

As the two Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' scales fell away and disappeared, their fins grew from about 20 centimeters to almost four meters. The patterns of the grand cities quickly spread to their fins.

As the fish grew longer, their dragon aura also became more prevalent until their fishtails fully transformed into dragon tails.

Before the two flanking Mountain River Eternal Life Carps finished evolving, the pure yellow, crimson, emerald green, and orange on the center Mountain River Eternal Life Carp lit up the entire Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Dragon aura poured out from the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp in the center, and its fish scales transformed into dragon scales that were each covered with a type of blessing pattern.

The blessing patterns did not remain set but constantly changed.

While the blessing patterns shifted, Lin Yuan suddenly seemed to see a world unfold on the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp's body.

The carp immediately transformed into a dragon.

The dragon that the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp transformed into had a different aura from that of flood-dragon-species feys and terrifying-dragon-species feys. Instead, it was filled with the aura of natural fortune.

1881 Sentient Being Added Protection!

At first, Lin Yuan thought that the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' simultaneous evolution would result in them evolving into Heavenly Family Feys.

But after Lin Yuan carefully examined the aura, he realized that he was wrong. Even after evolving, the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps were still feys.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps and saw that their names had changed to the Sentient Being Protection Dragon.

[Fey Name: Sentient Being Protective Dragon

[Fey Species: Fortuitous dragon species/fortuitous dragon genus

The three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps had fused into one singular entity, the Sentient Being Protective Dragon.

This was a rarity in the history of fey evolutions.

Lin Yuan had intentionally asked the Moon Empress about simultaneous evolutions.

Clearly, the Moon Empress had also nurtured feys that underwent simultaneous evolution.

He remembered the Moon Empress saying that feys that underwent the simultaneous evolution still retained the body of a fey but were very different from regular feys. The biggest difference was in their abilities and exclusive skills.

Feys that underwent simultaneous evolution would lose the ability to raise their life rank. Moreover, it could only happen to regular feys.

Due to the difference in willpowers that Fantasy Breed feys possessed, they could not link their sources to evolve into a new fey.

This also made Lin Yuan give up the idea of evolving the simultaneous evolved Mountain River Eternal Life Carps to Fantasy Breed.

Lin Yuan now knew why the Moon Empress had stressed that simultaneous evolution was a blessing for feys.

After the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps underwent simultaneous evolution, they evolved into the Sentient Being Protective Dragon.

Lin Yuan felt that the Sentient Being Protective Dragon lived up to Morbius calling it impressive. From the description of its abilities and exclusive skill, it could truly protect all sentient beings.

Wherever the Sentient Being Protective Dragon was would be the most blessed place in the world.

Lin Yuan did not form a contract with the Sentient Being Protective Dragon, but he had nurtured it from the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps. As such, the Sentient Being Protective Dragon was deeply linked to him.

Even if Lin Yuan did not form a contract with it, the way it felt about Lin Yuan was no different from how his contracted feys felt about him.

Without forming a contract with it, Lin Yuan could not be of one mind with the Sentient Being Protective Dragon. He would not be able to wield it in battle as easily as he did feys that he had contracted.

Nonetheless, the Sentient Being Protective Dragon was not a combat-type fey at all. Both its ability Sentient Being Added Protection and Place in the World were triggered abilities.

As long as the Sentient Being Protective Dragon was present, it would be able to bring forth the effects.

The Sentient Being Protective Dragon waved its fins and swam around Lin Yuan as it let out pleasant-sounding cries.

Lin Yuan touched the Sentient Being Protective Dragon's beautiful jade-like scales. The Sentient Being Protective Dragon was not averse to his touch. On the contrary, it delighted it.

It wrapped its tail around his waist and was exceptionally energetic.

This made Lin Yuan think back to how the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps used to splash him with water.

He felt that the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps were still just as playful despite having transformed into the Sentient Being Protective Dragon.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan instructed Genius to use Connected Tails to communicate with the Sentient Being Protective Dragon.

He realized that the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps' souls had fused after they simultaneously evolved into the Sentient Being Protective Dragon.

From True Data, Lin Yuan noticed that the Sentient Being Protective Dragon was fortuitous dragon species/fortuitous dragon genus.

This meant that the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's dragon pearl had caused the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps to begin going down the Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon's previous path.

The Sentient Being Protective Dragon was a Platinum/Legend fey and was much more intelligent than Lin Yuan had expected. It was already smart enough to communicate normally with Lin Yuan, unlike other Platinum feys who had muddled minds.

By communicating with the Sentient Being Protective Dragon, Lin Yuan learned that the ability Sentient Being Added Protection could affect the same size of area as Place in the World could.

The Silver Mountain River Eternal Life Carp's exclusive skill Place of Life had been able to encompass the entire Return from Faraway Mansion.

There was no question that Place in the World could cover an even larger area. It should be large enough to cover the Floating Island Whale's entire back.

However, Universe had not evolved to Fantasy Breed yet. It was still a few months away from evolving to Fantasy Breed.

As such, Lin Yuan intended to keep the Sentient Being Protective Dragon in the marsh world so it could evolve the resources that Lin Yuan was cultivating in the marsh world before Universe took to the sky.

The Sentient Being Protective Dragon was separated into its main body, left body, and right body.

Main Body Blessing could enlighten the intelligence of all the lifeforms in the area. This was a benefit to any fey.

The left body increased agility and decreased the time needed for sleep. This meant that the feys under the left body would not feel lethargic and could work with vigor every day. This would greatly increase the productivity of the Spirit Craftsmen so they could finish the construction of the base in the marsh world sooner.

The feys under the Sentient Being Protective Dragon's right body would have their bodies improved, and their wounds would quickly heal. A source of vitality would nourish their bodies so the lifeforms would not experience hunger. This ability would decrease the assembly time needed for the development of the marsh world. But when applied to Sky City that stood atop Universe, all the lifeforms in Sky City and Universe would not require sustenance.

1882 The Floating Island Whale's Body is Complete!

Universe had an enormous appetite. When it traversed the sea, it swallowed all the fish, shrimps, and algae within its reach. This endless exercise and replenishment of food caused the Island Whale to become the perpetual motion machine of the sea.

But Universe would not have opportunities to obtain food when it was in the sky.

Lin Yuan had been plagued by this issue.

He could not prepare food in advance and send someone to feed Universe every few hours because eating would lead to Universe needing to relieve itself.

The fecal matter could fertilize the sea, but if it fell from the sky, it could not only fall onto people but might also leave a trail that enemies could track.

Even if the clouds that Gray turned into could block Universe, they could not block the falling fecal matter.

But now, with the Sentient Being Protective Dragon, this problem had been solved.

Universe was most afraid of becoming injured because it would cause its vitality to flow out rapidly. With every trace of vitality it lost, the difficulty of healing it increased exponentially.

This was why healing-type spirit qi professionals hated healing large feys.

Universe fought by slamming its body into enemies. This combat style came with large risks.

The Sentient Being Protective Dragon could improve Universe's body and speed up the rate at which it could be healed. Hence, Universe would be able to charge into opponents in the sky without the worry of becoming injured.

Lin Yuan felt that Place in the World was stronger than Sentient Being Added Protection.

Place in the World could create a scenery of lush plants and glittering rivers. This was an updated version of the Mountain River Eternal Life Carp's exclusive skill Place of Life.

Moreover, Place in the World had an additional effect that Place of Life did not have. This was the effect of speeding up the healing rate of the roots of lifeforms in the area.

Spirit qi professionals' root power lay in spirit qi, while dimensional lifeforms' root power lay in source-type power. Faith power was a type of root power for Apostles.

Universe needed to rely on people stationing feys on its back for defense.

Place in the World significantly increased Universe's overall defense by boosting the feys on its back. This would allow Universe to increase its endurance while traveling in the sky.

While Lin Yuan was marveling at its abilities, he played with the Sentient Being Protective Dragon for a while.

Next, he used the Thoughts Letter Paper to communicate with Wen Yu to prepare her to receive the Sentient Being Protective Dragon in the marsh world.

Lin Yuan had already asked the Sentient Being Protective Dragon about its requirements for the environment it lived in.

The Sentient Being Protective Dragon liked a wide man-made lake.

It would be very easy for the manpower in the marsh world to create a man-made lake.

Lin Yuan instructed Wen Yu to build a place for the Sentient Being Protective Dragon to live in.

Using the Sentient Being Protective Dragon, the progress of the construction of the base in the marsh world would be increased. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

After making all the necessary preparations, Lin Yuan left the Spirit Lock spatial zone and went back to evolving feys.

Before leaving for the Divine Wood Federation, he had already prepared all of the orders of feys that came from the various cities.

Yet, Lin Yuan continued to evolve feys because there needed to be an endless stream of resources in order to upkeep Sky City. Furthermore, Lin Yuan needed his feys to increase their accumulation of spirit qi in order to raise his spirit qi professional rank.

Lin Yuan did some calculations and found that as long as he spent five hours every day evolving feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he would be able to become an A-rank spirit qi professional in less than one and a half years.

This meant that he would definitely be able to become an A-rank spirit qi professional before the Major Federation Meeting. He would even have close to six months left over to continue evolving feys, adapting his body, increasing his combat power, and refining his combat style.

After evolving the feys, Lin Yuan stored the Bronze X/Epic and Bronze X/Legend feys in his spatial ring.

Lin Yuan's spatial ring contained a space that was as large as four soccer fields. He could even use a nesting doll method and fill the spatial ring with spatial equipment. This meant that he never had to replace the spatial ring.

Now that he was done with his own tasks, Lin Yuan moved on to guiding the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus so that it would produce flowers.

For the trade between Xia Qing and Lin Yuan, he needed to deliver 30 of the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers and 20 of the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupas to her tomorrow morning.

Besides the Spirit Lock spatial zone, there was nowhere else in the world where such a batch of resources could be produced in such a short period.

Since Lin Yuan and Xia Qing had already agreed on a time, he would not procrastinate. He did not even have much time to procrastinate, even if he wanted to.

After delivering the resources to Xia Qing, Lin Yuan would take the Mother of Bloodbath and Liu Jie with him to the Divine Wood Federation.

He worked until about 4:00 a.m. before he finally dragged his exhausted body through Klein Hub into the marsh world.

He only slept for half an hour in the marsh world before his energy was fully refilled. This allowed him to fully experience the power of the Sentient Being Protective Dragon's ability Left Body Blessing.

When Lin Yuan left the room and went downstairs, he saw Liu Jie laying out utensils.

The only people having breakfast that day were he and Liu Jie.

The Mother of Bloodbath, Purple Love, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, and the rest should be back before noon.

They had spent the entire night at the imperial court. The question of how the First Emperor Shark Clan should be handled had been addressed. The First Emperor Shark Clan would disappear from the main world within ten days.

Lin Yuan was touched that the Heavenly Family Cottage had decided to eliminate the First Emperor Shark Clan because of him. But he was also aware that he was not the only reason.

The First Emperor Shark Clan had a close relationship with the Freedom Federation, while the Freedom Federation had an unclear relationship with Tower Canon. As such, Purple Love had wanted to make a move on the First Emperor Shark Clan long ago.

The Heavenly Family Cottage had been laying low for so long and had to make big waves now that they had finally resurfaced. It just so happened that the First Emperor Shark Clan had ended up on their warpath.

Lin Yuan intended to stay at the Return from Faraway Mansion until 9:30 a.m. before he headed to the Creation Master Association in the Royal Capital to meet up with Xia Qing.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to move, Purple Love, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, Blood New Moon, and the rest happened to return to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Purple Love smiled when she saw Lin Yuan and said seriously, "Lin Yuan, I need to speak with you about something."

Since Purple Love needed to speak with him, Lin Yuan sent Liu Jie to deliver the Diamond fey storage box containing the 30 Moonlight Sleeping Lotus' flowers and 20 of the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly's pupas to Xia Qing.

1883 Image of a Fox in the Constellation!

In his previous conversations with Purple Love, she only spoke with a serious tone when she thanked him. In all other conversations, she spoke with a tone that a senior would take with a junior.

As such, from the way that Purple Love spoke to him with such a serious expression, she had to have something important to say to him.

Lin Yuan also had something to tell Blood New Moon, so he might as well use his opportunity to do so.

"Auntie Purple, you can speak your mind with me."

!

Purple Love first glanced at the Mother of Bloodbath before she said gently, "At first, my heavenly family blessing was supposed to go to Blood Love. But she insists that I give it to you. This is what she wants, so please don't turn it down."

For Heavenly Family Feys that had reached Eternal, the most precious thing that could offer was their heavenly family blessing. They only gave it to the people they were closest to.

Blue Lotus had given hers to Lin Yuan, and it had helped him to gain the upper hand during the fight against Qian Yu.

Even the evolution of the mermaid bloodline in his body was also related to Blue Lotus' blessing.

Blue Lotus' blessing allowed Lin Yuan to understand how powerful a Heavenly Family Fey's blessing was. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

It was already extremely lucky for him to possess the blessing of one Heavenly Family Fey. He never expected that Purple Love, the leader of the Heavenly Family Cottage, would also give her blessing to him.

Lin Yuan cast his gaze at the Mother of Bloodbath. Purple Love had made it clear that she was giving him her blessing because of the Mother of Bloodbath.

When the Mother of Bloodbath saw Lin Yuan looking at it, it walked over to him and said, "As a Heavenly Family Fey, all of us are affiliated with one aspect of nature. I am affiliated with the sun. For Auntie Purple, it's stars. Her blessing will not be as beneficial to me as Father's blessing will be. Rather than having Auntie Purple waste her blessing on me, it would be better to pass the opportunity to you."

The Mother of Bloodbath did not say anything else and stood silently next to Lin Yuan.

Besides Lin Yuan, who was oblivious, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, Purple Love, and Blood New Moon could all see how the Mother of Bloodbath felt about Lin Yuan.

Previously, both White Phoenix and Blood New Moon felt that Lin Yuan was a classic, obtuse man.

But now, it seemed that Lin Yuan was not to blame for not recognizing Blood Love's feelings. She was not properly expressing herself either.

Was it so difficult to make one's feelings known? Blood New Moon and Jade Sundial had fallen in love at first sight and wasted no time trying to procreate.

Lin Yuan had read extensively about Heavenly Family Feys. What the Mother of Bloodbath said was true.

Moreover, he had also formed a contract with the Merciful Star Peony. It was likely that Purple Love's blessing could be linked to the Merciful Star Peony.

After he accepted Purple Love's blessing, Lin Yuan seriously thanked the Mother of Bloodbath.

The Mother of Bloodbath instinctively rolled its eyes when Lin Yuan thanked it. It could accept thanks from anyone but him.

It had agreed to become Lin Yuan's Path Protector to repay its debt to the Moon Empress. However, it had only truly carried out its duty of being a Path Protector once in the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift.

Ever since then, it had only received help from Lin Yuan. He had saved it when it broke through to Myth II and then saved Endless Summer because of it. He had also provided all of the resources it needed to increase its power. To put it bluntly, Lin Yuan had been raising it.

Under such circumstances, the Mother of Bloodbath could not accept Lin Yuan's thanks.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had revived its mother.

After Lin Yuan accepted the heavenly family blessing, Purple Love circulated her spiritual power.

At that moment, the afternoon sky was suddenly covered with stars that organized themselves into constellations.

Faint purple light cascaded down from the constellations and gathered on Purple Love's body.

The phantom images of numerous long tails appeared behind Purple Love.

An imprint in the shape of a fox moved down from the constellations and stopped on Lin Yuan's waist.

Once the stars fully melded with the afternoon sky, the aura around Purple Love dispersed.

She said to Lin Yuan with a wide grin, "My blessing is slightly special. It doesn't provide you with attacking abilities or resistance against the elements. It will deepen your ability to sense constellations. When faced with a choice, you can pray to the constellations, and they will lead you toward the right direction."

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched when he heard this.

He was not the kind of person who liked to depend on luck. When he was at a crossroads, he would make a judgment based on his objective opinion.

However, he was very interested in deepening his ability to sense the stars.

He had formed a contract with the Merciful Star Peony, and Casted Item Starlight and Constellation Imprint were related to constellations.

Since Purple Love's blessing could deepen his ability to sense constellations, the effects of Casted Item Starlight would be greatly raised. It would also become easier for him to form star imprints on his body.

Purple Love's blessing was indeed linked to the Merciful Star Peony. This link allowed Lin Yuan to quickly improve the quality of his body and made him even more capable of rolling grades to fight.

Night Leaning Moon had increased her power using White Phoenix's feathers.

White Phoenix had absorbed the pure dark-elemental energy from the Dark Crystal Armored Insect's shells. As such, his abilities had improved by leaps and bounds.

However, it would still be unrealistic for him to expect to start walking down heaven's path using this method.

White Phoenix was exceptionally grateful to Lin Yuan. This was why he had come up with the idea of following Lin Yuan.

White Phoenix said in a friendly tone to Lin Yuan, "Sister Purple Love is the most skilled at performing divinity using the constellations. Her divinity helped to make many accurate decisions. The more dangerous the situation, the more accurate her divinity would be. You might not think of the guidance as important under normal circumstances, but when you are ensconced in danger and fighting for your life, the guidance from the stars might provide you with a path to survival."

Purple Love did not comment on her heavenly family blessing.

Her blessing would accompany Lin Yuan for at least five years. After that, its effects would gradually start to weaken.

1884 White Phoenix's Decision!

Given Lin Yuan's intelligence, he would be able to make good and full use of her blessing within these five years.

"Lin Yuan, the Heavenly Family Cottage and the Radiance Federation have established a cooperative alliance. From now on, one of our members will remain in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital.

"At first, the Radiance Federation's royalty suggested building a manor in the Royal Capital for whichever one of us decides to stay. I thought about it for a while and felt that it would be best for whichever one of us ends up staying to stay in your Return from Faraway Mansion instead! They will also be able to help to look after your home."

Since Purple Love had unlocked her birth horoscope, metal spiritual ingredients such as Floating Silver could not keep her out.

Ever since Purple Love arrived at the Return from Faraway Mansion, she noticed that it was hiding many secrets.

She had heard from the Mother of Bloodbath that Lin Yuan was about to leave to go train. During this time, the member of the Heavenly Family Cottage who remained in the Royal Capital would be able to help Lin Yuan.

Additionally, Purple Love wanted to declare that she was only allying with the Radiance Federation because of Lin Yuan. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏.com

From now on, the Radiance Federation would contact the Heavenly Family Cottage exclusively through the Moon Empress.

Besides the Moon Empress and Night Empress, Purple Love couldn't care less about the other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty.

Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "Of course, I have no problem with this. May I ask who is going to be staying at the Return from Faraway Mansion? This will make it easier for me to decorate the room based on their preferences!"

Blood New Moon was Purple Love's top choice to remain in the Radiance Federation.

This was because the Mother of Bloodbath was Lin Yuan's Path Protector. When he went out to train, it would definitely follow.

But once Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion, Blood New Moon would be reunited with Blood Love.

Additionally, there was a very high chance that Lin Yuan would be able to recover Jade Sundial's physical body.

It would be the most convenient for Blood New Moon to be with Jade Sundial here so that Lin Yuan could treat her.

However, before Purple Love could decide on Blood New Moon with certainty, White Phoenix said, "Sister Purple Love, I want to stay at the Royal Capital as the representative of the Heavenly Family Cottage."

White Phoenix's words stunned Purple Love.

White Phoenix's words shocked everyone present.

"Sister Purple Love, I am indebted to Lin Yuan. By staying with him, I might be able to find a way to break through Eternal and take control of my birth horoscope while walking down heaven's path, just like Sacred Cry did after leaving with the Moon Empress. I want to follow Lin Yuan."

White Phoenix's words caused Blue Lotus and Purple Love to look at him with gazes that were filled with different emotions.

Eventually, Purple Love said softly, "If it were anyone else that you wanted to follow, I wouldn't agree to it. But since the person you want to follow is Lin Yuan, I have no reason to say no.

"Sacred Cry gave up its role as a member of the Heavenly Family Cottage when it left to follow the Moon Empress because the Heavenly Family Cottage had been detached from the world then.

"But now that we have resurfaced, you don't need to give up your position as a member of the Heavenly Family Cottage. But it doesn't matter if I agree. Lin Yuan is the one who will decide if he wants to keep you."

White Phoenix did not say anything. All he did was bow solemnly to Purple Love.

Next, he walked over to Lin Yuan and said seriously, "Lin Yuan, I want to follow you from now on!"

Before waiting for Lin Yuan's answer, White Phoenix marched on and said, "I'm not trying to repay my debt by being by your side. It's because I know that only you can provide me with the resources to help my life rank's breakthrough. I had been stuck at my previous rank for two decades. But the contents of the box you gave me allowed my power to skyrocket.

"If you're willing to accept me, please continue to provide me with resources to help me to advance even further. I will serve you like how Sacred Cry serves the Moon Empress. I swear on the dark night that I will loyally stick by you as your squire fey!"

Lin Yuan was stunned by White Phoenix's speech. He never expected to ever hear something like that from a Heavenly Family Fey.

He had no lack of the Dark Crystal Armored Insect's shells. The Dark Crystal Armored Insects in the Spirit Lock spatial zone provided him with 30 shells daily without him putting any effort into nurturing them.

If Lin Yuan put effort into nurturing them, each of the Dark Crystal Armored Insects would produce eight to nine shells daily.

From all angles, using resources that he did not have to go through any trouble to obtain to exchange for the loyalty of one of the most powerful experts in the world was a deal that was almost too good to be true.

Yet, Lin Yuan did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to White Phoenix in an austere tone, "Senior White Phoenix, such a thing cannot be taken lightly. I hope you will think it through carefully before coming to a decision!

"Of course, if you still want to be my squire fey after that, I will not only provide you with resources to increase your power and break through, but I might also be of great help to your bloodline. This is my promise to you."

Lin Yuan stopped speaking and stared calmly at White Phoenix as he waited for White Phoenix to sincerely contemplate before making a final decision.

Lin Yuan's words caused surprise to spread across the Mother of Bloodbath's face.

The Lin Yuan it knew was always reserved when he conducted business and rarely showed off.

But what he had said to White Phoenix could only be construed as blowing his own trumpet.

By revealing his capabilities and asking White Phoenix to choose, it meant that Lin Yuan hoped that White Phoenix would still decide to follow him.

The Mother of Bloodbath thought, The pathetic young man who was almost killed by a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift is now so sensational. He now knows to retain and accumulate power.

The Mother of Bloodbath had not agreed to join the Heavenly Family Cottage because it had already joined Sky City. It would not join another faction for the rest of its life.

Thus, the Mother of Bloodbath put Lin Yuan before anything and everything. This was why it even gave up Purple Love's heavenly family blessing to Lin Yuan.

Previously, the Mother of Bloodbath felt that White Phoenix was off his rocker.

But having witnessed White Phoenix's true form, the Mother of Bloodbath knew that its bloodline was one of the most elite Heavenly Family Fey bloodlines.

Others might not be able to understand White Phoenix's decision to follow Lin Yuan for the sake of his future, but the Mother of Bloodbath knew that White Phoenix was smart.

After making this decision, he likely would end up tossing all of its comrades, including the Mother of Bloodbath's father, to the back of his mind.

The Mother of Bloodbath was so confident in Lin Yuan because it was the best example.

1885 Troublemakers are Here!

The Mother of Bloodbath was well aware of what it had been when it first started following Lin Yuan.

Without Lin Yuan, it would never have been able to awaken its Heavenly Family Fey bloodline.

The pure spirit qi that Lin Yuan possessed had helped the Mother of Bloodbath's bloodline to constantly change imperceptibly. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏.com

The pure spirit qi would also be very beneficial for White Phoenix.

Since White Phoenix had said what he said, it meant that he had already come to a decision long before this.

Thus, after Lin Yuan asked him to carefully ponder over his decision, White Phoenix replied without hesitation, "Since you're agreeable to it, I will be your squire fey from now on."

At the moment that White Phoenix finished speaking, a black heart appeared next to him. An illusionary black phoenix was flying around the black heart.

If Purple Love did not release her aura, the Eternal aura from White Phoenix's Eternal Heart would have immediately alarmed the members of royalty in the Royal Capital.

White Phoenix reached out and grasped his Eternal Heart as he said with sincerity, "I swear with the abyss of the black night on my Eternal Heart that I will henceforth be Lin Yuan's squire fey until my life comes to an end."

After White Phoenix swore, he truly became Lin Yuan's squire fey.

Spirit qi professionals had a high level of control over their squire feys.

A shred of White Phoenix's soul power had exited his Eternal Heart and was subsumed into Lin Yuan's soul.

Lin Yuan could issue orders to White Phoenix through the soul power in the shred of White Phoenix's soul. If White Phoenix went against the order, his soul would be impacted.

This was why high-grade feys would rather dedicate their loyalties to becoming Protectors than to become squire feys.

The control that a spirit qi professional had over Protectors was much less than that of squire feys.

Now, Lin Yuan officially had his first squire fey, and it was a Heavenly Family Fey that had reached Eternal to boot.

Lin Yuan was never miserly with his own people.

After chatting with Purple Love, Blue Lotus, Blood New Moon, and the rest for a while, Lin Yuan called White Phoenix over to the training room.

White Phoenix still did not know Lin Yuan well and did not know why he would call him over to the training room.

But the Mother of Bloodbath knew that whoever Lin Yuan called to the training room would receive beneficial opportunities.

Inside the training room…

Lin Yuan looked at White Phoenix and took out 50 of the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies.

These Spirit-Mouthed Peonies had already absorbed pure spirit qi and were stored by Lin Yuan as reserves.

Lin Yuan said, "Senior White Phoenix, there is pure spirit qi within these flowers. You can absorb the pure spirit qi alongside the Dark Crystal Armored Insects every day."

Now that Lin Yuan was done speaking to White Phoenix, he saw that a message had come from Su Yiren through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

[Lin Yuan, the family behind Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce has come. There seem to be four emperor-class experts among them, but there might be even more powerful combatants. What is your plan to deal with this? Chances are that they will attack the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Oak City in a few hours.]

Lin Yuan immediately sent his reply.

[I will be there in an hour.]

Once he sent the reply to Su Yiren, he turned back to see that White Phoenix had already crushed one of the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies and was absorbing the pure spirit qi within.

At first, White Phoenix had not thought much of the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies that Lin Yuan gave him. This was because the Moon Empress had personally nurtured the Spirit-Mouthed Peony, so White Phoenix had never come across such a plant-type fey. Furthermore, he could not sense a hint of spiritual power fluctuations from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies.

The dark energy in the insect shells that Lin Yuan had given him was extremely pure. White Phoenix would never be able to obtain such pure dark energy on his own.

This made White Phoenix very curious about just how pure the spirit qi within the peonies had to be in order to complement the Dark Crystal Armored Insect shells.

When White Phoenix crushed the first Spirit-Mouthed Peony, it sated his curiosity.

The spirit qi was so pure that his body moved on its own, and he started to absorb it as quickly as he could. This was because he knew that the slightest delay would cause the pure spirit qi to dissipate into the air.

As he absorbed the pure spirit qi, White Phoenix felt his Heavenly Family Fey bloodline being activated.

As his bloodline tempered his body, White Phoenix could sense all the impurities leaving his body.

Now, he finally knew why Lin Yuan had said that he would be able to help with his bloodline.

White Phoenix became willing to follow Lin Yuan and become his squire fey after mindful contemplation.

However, he did not expect to gain such a reward immediately after becoming Lin Yuan's squire fey.

This filled White Phoenix with elation. Evidently, he had made the right choice!

Lin Yuan did not wait for White Phoenix to finish absorbing the spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peony.

Although he needed to go to the Divine Wood Federation to train, that did not mean that he would not be returning to the Radiance Federation.

To him, the Radiance Federation was a checkpoint where he could turn over his resources.

He would obtain resources from the Radiance Federation while he developed into the marsh world and Divine Wood Federation. At the same time, he would import resources from the marsh world and Divine Wood Federation into the Radiance Federation.

He had moved an entire Spirit Settling Silver Ore mine to the Radiance Federation. As a result, the cost of bottles made of Spirit Settling Silver Ore had fallen by almost half.

This was good news to all the Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation. Many of them took the opportunity of the period of low prices to buy up numerous bottles made of Spirit Settling Silver Ore.

If White Phoenix had anything to say to Lin Yuan, he could do so when he returned to the Radiance Federation.

After all, White Phoenix would remain in the Return from Faraway Mansion in the Radiance Federation as the representative of the Heavenly Family Cottage.

After leaving the training room, Lin Yuan led Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath to the Space Tunnel, where the three of them were transported to the underground palace in the Divine Wood Federation.

After storing Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath inside the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad, Lin Yuan used up 50 of the Item-Storing Walnuts to send himself to the Divine Wood Federation.

This was currently Lin Yuan's heyday. The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had just ended a few days ago. His popularity from the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group had not even reached its peak yet.

During the time that he should be basking in his glory, he was beginning his trek down a new path instead.

1886 Is Leo Really So Young?

Su Yiren knew that Lin Yuan would rush to the Divine Wood Federation within the hour. As such, she immediately left to greet him at the Space Tunnel.

She told Ta Lei and Hu Quan about the news that Lin Yuan was coming.

Hu Quan had accompanied Lin Yuan for a long time and was in charge of the construction of the underground palace.

Although Hu Quan was not strong, his Spirit Craftsman skills far exceeded that of a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman.

!

Su Yiren greatly respected Hu Quan.

Ta Lei addressed Lin Yuan as 'Teacher'. Su Yiren knew that Lin Yuan had not accepted Ta Lei as his disciple.

From her interactions with him, Su Yiren had a sense of what kind of person Lin Yuan was.

A young man like Lin Yuan, who came from the Radiance Federation, was at the point of his life where he needed to work hard on pushing his power past its limits. As such, he did not have surplus time or energy to teach a disciple. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏.com

If Su Yiren was not aware that Ta Lei was an innocent child whose mind was as clear as a spring, she would have suspected that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing who was trying to deepen his connection with Lin Yuan through manipulative means.

Su Yiren had a good impression of Ta Lei. Moreover, he was completely ignorant of the world due to his young age and the fact that he came from a small tribe in the Iron Hammer Federation.

Lin Yuan's future plans involved Ta Lei interacting with the Iron Hammer Federation.

Su Yiren needed to keep Ta Lei by his side and meticulously teach him.

Su Yiren was an official Dark Envoy. As such, teaching was child's play to her.

Under Su Yiren's tutelage, Ta Lei accumulated not just a mountain of experience but also knowledge.

The member of the Astronomical Parliament that Lin Yuan interacted with the most was Su Yiren.

When Su Yiren first joined the Astronomical Parliament, her mind had been filled with scheming and plotting. This was because her reason for joining the Astronomical Parliament was not as simple as others.

She carried the vengeance of the entire Dark Continent on her shoulders.

Lin Yuan had given her hope when she was in the pits of despair and saved her in a godlike manner.

She would never forget how she had passed her days filled with muddy despair and fight, cowering in the grass with a rusty dagger tightly clenched in her hand.

Then suddenly, a young man with a breathtakingly handsome face appeared before her and saved her.

This sight brought the light of salvation into Su Yiren's entire life.

Ever since then, Su Yiren could sense that she had developed special feelings for Lin Yuan.

Moreover, Su Yiren had contracted the Absolute Love Poppy. It sharpened her ability to sense the mind, spirit, and soul.

She could sense that Lin Yuan was someone who prioritized his ties. A person like this would not turn down your requests once you got him to acknowledge you and see you as a friend.

She could continue plotting to convince Lin Yuan to help her regain the Seven States of Darkness. But she eventually gave up on this idea because he had saved her, and she did not want to take advantage of him.

Instead, she intended to do everything she could to help him.

Once she had achieved significant contributions, she would have the grounds to ask Lin Yuan to help her regain the Dark Continent.

Now that her mind was clear, she had completely restructured the entire Oak City in the last few months.

The 14 Love Music Centers had been set up in various cities throughout the Divine Wood Federation. Every dancer had become a household celebrity in the Divine Wood Federation.

There were even large crowds of people from the Iron Hammer Federation and Great Lush Federation who had heard of the beauty of the dancers of the Love Music Centers and traveled to see it for themselves.

Su Yiren had never set the Absolute Love Poppy free in the Dark Federation.

Now that she had unlocked the Absolute Love Poppy's abilities, the 14 Poppy Fruits she had handpicked were fervently draining the riches of the Divine Wood Federation.

The factions in the Divine Wood Federation were centered around the Creation Masters. The various factions competed with each other in terms of style and charm.

After Su Yiren understood the culture in the Divine Wood Federation, she caused many of the wealthy Creation Master families to lose a majority of their fortune by persuading them to give out rewards and other treats.

Su Yiren had been under the assumption that she had earned a significant amount of resources for Lin Yuan.

But after Lin Yuan sent the young man with alluring eyes over yesterday with a large package of resources for Hu Quan, Su Yiren finally realized what true affluence was.

Hu Quan's expression had been calm when he saw the list of resources. It seemed that he was already used to such resources.

It would be difficult for even Su Yiren, who was a Dark Envoy, to get her hands on such a large amount of resources.

The resources that Listen had delivered to the Divine Wood Federation allowed Su Yiren to realize just how deep the well of Lin Yuan's wealth went.

Su Yiren could communicate with Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

Lin Yuan had clearly told her to hand over the management of all the resources to Listen.

Su Yiren could not believe how much Lin Yuan trusted Listen for him to hand over the management of such important resources to him.

There was no way that Su Yiren would oppose Lin Yuan's instruction, but she still felt indignant.

Listen's arrival essentially took away from a portion of her most important benefits.

She wanted to see what Listen was made of to warrant such trust from Lin Yuan.

After listening to Listen's three-point plan, Su Yiren's impression of him utterly changed.

Listen's appearance filled Su Yiren with a sense of urgency. Lin Yuan had too many capable people at his disposal.

She would eventually disappear if she could not distinguish herself from the throng of outstanding talents.

At that moment, Su Yiren heard Ta Lei say timidly, "Sister Yiren, is Teacher really as young as you said he is? Is he even younger than my brother?"

Su Yiren knew that Ta Lei had been looking forward to seeing Lin Yuan and had answered these questions countless times.

She was not a patient person and normally would have become frustrated with the repeated questions.

However, she found it hard not to reply when she was looking into his sparkling eyes.

She compared Ta Lei's rugged brother and Lin Yuan before she said, "Ta Lei, you will know once you see Leo. He isn't much older than you. Your brother must be at least 25 years old! He is about five or six years older than Leo!"

...

1887 Trouble in the Startling Lines Continent!

A confused expression appeared on Ta Lei's face.

My brother is only 21 years old! Why did Sister Yiren say that he is at least 25 years old? Does he look that old?

While he was thinking, a young man dressed in white and blue spirit qi clothes stepped out of the Space Tunnel.

Although Lin Yuan appeared in the Astronomical Parliament as a figure composed of souls and willpowers and Ta Lei had never seen Lin Yuan's true appearance, his aura was unmistakable. Ta Lei could sense the familiar aura from Lin Yuan.

Su Yiren thought that Ta Lei would excitedly charge at Lin Yuan and wrap him in a hug.

Instead, Ta Lei stood frozen and dazed while Lin Yuan was the one who greeted Ta Lei first.

This was when Ta Lei finally regained his senses and timidly addressed Lin Yuan as 'Master'.

Su Yiren realized that Ta Lei had been stunned by Lin Yuan's youth. If she had not already told Ta Lei about Lin Yuan's age, Ta Lei would still be standing statuesque after Lin Yuan greeted him.

Although Lin Yuan had not accepted Ta Lei as his disciple, he was used to hearing Ta Lei address him as 'Master'.

Lin Yuan reached out and tousled Ta Lei's hair. This was when he noticed Ta Lei's hair was much rougher than Chu Ci's.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Ta Lei, you have already obtained land from the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court. Henceforth, you are the ruler of the land. Do your best to train and practice concocting spirit fluids using the Creation Master knowledge in your head!"

Lin Yuan turned his attention to Su Yiren and said, "I recall that the family behind the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce is a secret elite Lu family from the Great Lush Federation. The City Lord of Oak City, Ding Chengshuo, has become one of us. Are you telling me that one of the secret elite families from the Great Lush Federation actually has the audacity to create a fuss in one of the Divine Wood Federation's cities?"

Lin Yuan had been too busy recently because he had been preparing for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and then the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group. After that, he had been preoccupied with contracting the devil and sea demon, as well as taking control of the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Thus, he did not have the time to concentrate on the Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan was completely at ease with Su Yiren managing the situation.

Lin Yuan saw the entire Startling Lines Continent as his training ground. Thus, it went without saying that he needed to supervise the situation.

When Su Yiren heard Lin Yuan's question, she hurriedly gave her report.

"Ding Chengshuo has indeed become one of us. It was with his help that the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce managed to become the undisputed number one chamber of commerce in Oak City within a few short months.

"The Love Music Centers were only able to be established so quickly because he had written letters to the other City Lords to ask for their help in expediting the process. But for some reason, not long after you left the Divine Wood Federation last time, the Great Lush Federation suddenly started advancing forcefully.

"There are many experts hidden within the Great Lush Federation's chambers of commerce. These experts have eliminated all the bandit groups who were targeting the chambers of commerce.

"In the past two months, at least 300,000 bandit groups have disappeared from the Startling Lines Continent. Very few of these bandit groups were independent. Most of them were formed with the support of various large families from the Divine Wood Federation and large tribes from the Iron Hammer Federation.

"The Great Lush Federation's behavior had broken the delicate balance between the three federations. Now, the Divine Wood Federation has entered the high-alert mode. During the high-alert mode, Ding Chengshuo has to follow the arrangement of the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court. Ding Chengshuo has already reported all the relevant information to the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court but has not received a reply yet.

"Ding Chengshuo just sent word half an hour ago that he has not taken any action yet because he's afraid of disrupting the imperial court's arrangement. As such, he, unfortunately, won't be able to take you to the Divine Wood Mystic Realm. If you send a message, Ding Chengshuo is willing to lead experts from his family to help the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce."

Su Yiren paused before she continued. "I don't doubt Ding Chengshuo's loyalty. He swore to you on his Law Rune. If he breaks his oath, he will suffer greatly. Frankly, I don't agree with involving him. The Ding family indeed has more emperor-class experts than those the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce sent. However, the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce also has a thearch-class expert. Even if Ding Chengshuo helps, he won't be able to solve the issue. We will still have to settle the issue by ourselves."

Su Yiren's demeanor was very leisurely when she spoke. She did not seem afraid of the trouble that Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce was trying to cause at all.

She knew that Lin Yuan possessed a powerful martial force.

Lin Yuan had sent Di Wanmi to the Divine Wood Federation early on.

Su Yiren did not know that Di Wanmi was a Class 5 Creation Master but could sense that Di Wanmi was an expert that was more powerful than thearch-class. With such a powerful expert stationed there, they could do anything they wanted in the Startling Lines Continent, which did not even have a Class 5 Creation Master.

Even if Lin Yuan did not possess a powerful martial force, Su Yiren herself was capable of taking down the thearch-class expert with the Absolute Love Poppy.

If she did not have absolute confidence in her power, she would not have gone to take revenge on Seventh Page War new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

Until now, Su Yiren did not attribute her failure to her lack of power but that her careful planning did not include the knowledge that Seventh Page War was not a human.

Lin Yuan did not suspect Ding Chengshuo's loyalty at all.

At first, he had agreed to help Ding Chengshuo evolve the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle to Myth III and increase its bloodline's purity.

But after some pondering, Lin Yuan felt that Ding Chengshuo and the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle could be easily countered.

The Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle was not a valuable fey.

Thus, Lin Yuan used several pure Law Crystals and evolved the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle to pinnacle Myth Breed, a small step away from Creation Breed.

The Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle was currently powerful enough to take one of the top few spots in the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court. If Ding Chengshuo was intelligent in any way, he would know what the consequences of betraying Lin Yuan would be.

Lin Yuan had already provided the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle with more resources than a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master could.

It was likely that Ding Chengshuo had already guessed that Lin Yuan possessed Class 5 Creation Master resources.

After contracting a devil and sea demon, Lin Yuan was very interested in lifeforms from mystic realms. No matter what, he had to enter the Divine Wood Mystic Realm.

1888 Large Hands Behind the Scenes!

Lin Yuan had already been disgusted by Lu Kun from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce before. Now, more people from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce were trying to cause trouble.

There was no way that Lin Yuan would let off the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

What Yin Lin said informed Lin Yuan that trouble was brewing in the Startling Lines Continent. However, it had not been started by him but the Great Lush Federation.

For the past few centuries, the Divine Wood Federation, Iron Hammer Federation, and Great Lush Federation had maintained a stable balance. All of the federations had silently agreed to the truce.

The Great Lush Federation had to have a reason for breaking the balance. For this reason, they had come to cause trouble for the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Yuan intended to investigate the Great Lush Federation to learn what their reason for breaking the balance was.

As such, Lin Yuan asked Su Yiren, "You said that the Great Lush Federation's chambers of commerce destroyed hundreds of thousands of bandit groups. Can it be that there are experts hidden within all of the Great Lush Federation's chambers of commerce?"

Su Yiren immediately realized that Lin Yuan saw through the truth.

It was said that leaders liked smart subordinates. But the vice versa was true as well.

Once Su Yiren realized that the situation was off, she intentionally carried out an investigation. All of the 14 Love Music Centers were deployed and provided Su Yiren with a wave of information.

However, most of the information came from the elites of the Divine Wood Federation, and most of them were unverified rumors that could not be seen as reliable.

Hence, Su Yiren sought out Li Wan to ask her to use the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce as well as the resources available to the Li family to investigate the matter.

The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce dominated Oak City solely because of Lin Yuan's resources.

Due to Lin Yuan's black hair and eyes, Li Wan had assumed that Lin Yuan was a member of one of the secret elite families in the Great Lush Federation.

Later, she realized that something was wrong.

Nonetheless, she was a practical person, and there were people from the Li family who had been scheming to target her. Su Yiren had stepped in to settle this issue.

At first, Li Wan's impression of Su Yiren came only from Su Yiren's looks. She was beautiful and decked out lavishly. Almost every accessory she had on her was embedded with expensive gems, such as amethysts that cost millions of Great Lush dollars.

But she did not expect Su Yiren to also possess such a powerful martial force.

When the pink flower in her hands bloomed, the experts Li Wan's uncle had sent to kill her became entranced as though they had just lost their souls and were now utterly infatuated with Su Yiren and willing to listen to her every command.

Now, those experts had become part of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's martial power that was hidden in Oak City.

Su Yiren was respectful to Lin Yuan and addressed him as Young Master.

If just one of his female attendants was already so powerful, Li Wan could not imagine how terrifyingly mighty the faction supporting Lin Yuan was. Nonetheless, this did not stop her from deciding to cling tightly to him.

Hence, when she received Su Yiren's request, Li Wan immediately activated all of the resources at her disposal to aid Su Yiren's investigation.

After she garnered the information, she candidly laid it all out in a report that she sent to Su Yiren.

She had personally written the report.

Li Wan was not even this detailed when she handled the financial accounts.

The Li family was considered one of the smaller secret elite families. Thus, they did not have access to the secrets between top families. However, they did have ties with medium-sized secret families.

After receiving Li Wan's report, many of Su Yiren's speculations were confirmed.

At first, Su Yiren intended to wait until the matter was settled before she updated Lin Yuan on the situation. But since Lin Yuan had already asked, Su Yiren hastily replied with seriousness, "Lin Yuan, the merchant groups sent out by the chambers of commerce from the Great Lush Federation are still being robbed. However, all of the chambers of commerce from mid-sized and above families have experts stationed within them."

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Su Yiren had emphasized the word 'all'.

It was almost impossible for all the factions in a federation to agree to carry out the same action together because every faction had different profit directions. If they did carry out the same action, the profits of many factions would be impacted.

Lin Yuan had burnt up the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce's tree castle because they were a bundle of illegal activities and were taking advantage of the Sincere Merchant Group, which Lin Yuan had taken control of.

The existence of bandit groups was a scapegoat for chambers of commerce such as the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce because they could blame all problems on the bandit groups.

Thus, although on the surface it seemed like getting rid of all the bandit groups would be beneficial for the Great Lush Federation's chambers of commerce, that was not the actual case.

If the secret elite families of the Great Lush Federation could work in unison now, something bigger was definitely in the works.

Lin Yuan felt that there was a pair of large unseen hands behind the Great Lush Federation who were moving the pieces that were the secret elite families.

Lin Yuan did not know what motive the hands had, but the simultaneous action of the secret elite families of the Great Lush Federation meant that the hands regarded the entire Startling Lines Continent as its chessboard.

This pair of hands had also already infringed on Lin Yuan's profits. This was enough for Lin Yuan to see it as his enemy.

Lin Yuan preferred his enemies to be out in the open rather than hiding in the shadows.

He did not have much time to waste in the Startling Lines Continent. He had to see the fruits of his labor within a year and a half at the most.

Thus, he decided to make use of this incident of the chambers of commerce from the Great Lush Federation, causing trouble to fan the flames even further. This would allow the pair of hands to know that it had an opponent at the border between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.

Lin Yuan did not have the time to uncover the pair of hands. He intended to force it to show itself instead.

Lin Yuan issued an order to Red Thorn in his head, "Red Thorn, station Di Wanmi at the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. Don't let any clashes stop before I arrive."Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

Recently, Red Thorn liked to sleep nestled in the middle of the three Mouths of Relinquish.

Usually, Red Thorn was filled with energy. Lin Yuan attributed its sleepiness to its fairy bloodline having abruptly evolved.

After the Goddess of Mercy lost the bet to the Moon Empress, she had given up 200 types of fairy source-type lifeform bloodlines.

1889 Will Not Take This Lying Down!

The Moon Empress had given all 200 of the fairy source-type lifeform bloodlines to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan had given 100 of them to Liu Jie.

Fairy source-type lifeform bloodline was not suitable for nourishing fairy source-type lifeforms. This method would affect the bloodline's potential to transform.

However, using the pure bloodline power of fairy source-type lifeforms to guide fairy bloodlines to break through was very effective.

Lin Yuan intended to enable Red Thorn to temper its bloodline again.

!

As such, he tried supplying Red Thorn with ten units of the fairy bloodline power to see if it would break through past pinnacle six wings.

When Red Thorn received Lin Yuan's instruction, it lethargically woke itself up and rushed off to prepare Di Wanmi.

Every target that had the Tongue of Relinquish's tip puppeteering it was Red Thorn's eyes.

Red Thorn liked excitement. Hence, Di Wanmi being set in motion meant that Red Thorn would soon have excitement to enjoy.

Hu Quan had been instructing the Spirit Craftsmen while they were carving.

When he heard the conversation between Lin Yuan and Su Yiren, Hu Quan walked over and smiled at Lin Yuan as he said, "Su Yiren is very impressive. I am lacking Spirit Craftsmen, so the construction of the underground palace is only 80% completed.

"As for the territory that Ta Lei obtained, I have drawn up a design but haven't been able to actually start on it. Then, Su Yiren helped me to find more than 500 Class 2 Spirit Craftsmen from the Divine Wood Federation, 10 of whom are Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen.

"The key point of Ta Lei's territory is raising the defense. Hence, the design doesn't have to be overly detailed. The more than 500 Spirit Craftsmen and 10 Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen are capable of building the territory according to the design."

Hu Quan was sincerely complimenting Su Yiren. She had solved many problems for him after she came to help with the underground palace.

When Lin Yuan heard what Hu Quan said, he knew that Hu Quan and Su Yiren were getting along swimmingly.

Lin Yuan had never doubted Su Yiren's capabilities.

A federation envoy was not a position that anyone could fill due to a lack of candidates.

Su Yiren thanked Hu Quan for his praise and said to Lin Yuan softly, "We should be heading over. If we're late, the experts from the Lu family will definitely burn up the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said solemnly, "They won't be able to burn it. As long as I'm not there, the fighting won't stop."

Once he was done speaking, he contacted Heavy Mountain through their contact.

Heavy Mountain was one of Lin Yuan's Apostles, and it had been searching for mineral veins non-stop for the past two months. It also continuously increased its power while it was accumulating metal spiritual ingredients for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had purchased numerous Land Imps on Star Web.

He did not instruct Heavy Mountain to accept them as its Favored Believers. Rather, Heavy Mountain was to increase its number of believers first.

Heavy Mountain now had 17 believers.

The Land Imps were all skilled at building.

Lin Yuan said to Hu Quan, "Uncle Hu, go and receive a batch of trained Land Imps and take them to Ta Lei's territory so they can help the Spirit Craftsmen with the building."

Hu Quan looked shocked when he heard what Lin Yuan said.

He did not expect Lin Yuan to have a way to train the Land Imps.

Hu Quan was not curious about how Lin Yuan managed to train the Land Imps. He was curious about how many Land Imps Lin Yuan had trained.

The Land Imps had the ability to control rocks. They could also change the composition of rocks and decide to raise the density of rocks. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

With the Land Imps, not only would there be no need to lay down a foundation, but the model of the structure could be instantly built.

As long as Lin Yuan's team of Land Imps was made up of more than 15 Land Imps, Hu Quan would be mostly done with Ta Lei's territory within a month.

There was a legend in the Construction Association that said that one day's work from the Land Imp was equivalent to half a month of work from a team of architects.

"Lin Yuan, how many Land Imps can you provide me with?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he replied, "Currently, there are 17 of them. In the next month, I should be able to send you around six more."

Hu Quan was over the moon.

"That's great! Ta Lei's territory will be completed in two weeks with these Land Imps! Previously, I was planning on instructing the Spirit Craftsmen to lay down stone tiles. It used to be that the barrier of Ta Lei's territory could only be built to 40 meters at most. But with the Land Imps, they just have to be fed more metal spiritual ingredients, and the barrier can be built to 150 meters without any issue!"

Lin Yuan chatted with Hu Quan about the construction of Ta Lei's territory for a while more and toured the underground palace with Hu Quan before he prepared to leave for Oak City.

At this moment, Oak City was in the throes of conflict.

Li Wan was seated in the president's office of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce as she discussed the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's future development with Feng Jiazhi.

Mr. Feng of the Sincere Merchant Group was elderly.

After the previous conflict, Feng Jiazhi had taken over Mr. Feng's position to become the leader of the Sincere Merchant Group.

Lin Yuan had tasked the Sincere Merchant Group to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. Since Lin Yuan possessed shares, he could manage the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce alongside Li Wan.

Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi were the type to think of the big picture and were averse to risks. They were on the exact same page when it came to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's development.

This was why the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce could develop so swiftly.

When he saw the worried expression on Li Wan's face, Feng Jiazhi said, "Don't worry, the savior won't leave us in the lurch. Moreover, the expert named Mr. Han, who the savior left with the Sincere Merchant Group, is now guarding the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. Even if the news that City Lord Ding sent is true, that there is indeed a thearch-class expert in the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce, we don't need to be afraid. You saw Mr. Han's power! I remember that you were there."

Li Wan glanced at Feng Jiazhi and felt that he was still too young.

She was not afraid of the chambers of commerce from the Great Lush Federation, but Oak City's factions were secretly activating.

A large portion of the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce's resources had been invested in Oak City.

The Profit Source Chamber of Commerce had been working with the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce. But when the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce was in trouble, the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce had not hesitated to abandon them and turn to work with other large chambers of commerce instead.

The Zhuang family behind the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce was not just slightly stronger than the Lu family. The Zhuang family had a secret elite family supporting them.

After the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce skyrocketed in the past two months, it had infringed significantly on many chambers of commerce's profits. There was no way the chambers of commerce would take this lying down.

1890 Give Me an Explanation!

When Li Wan was gathering information for Su Yiren, she could sense that the secret elite families from the Great Lush Federation were changing in ways that she did not understand.

The relationship between the Great Lush Federation, Divine Wood Federation, and Iron Hammer Federation had suddenly turned tense.

Because of this, the border cities of the two federations that merchant groups used to turn away from suddenly became prime real estate.

The Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce sent people there to seek vengeance as well as grab as much power and profits as they could.

!

Since the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce had a thearch-class expert, the other chambers of commerce would also have to come packing with a thearch-class expert themselves in order to stand a chance of fighting for resources with the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

Now, Oak City had become a powder keg.

The Ding family, who controlled Oak City, had clearly lost control of Oak City. It was likely that City Lord Ding was filled with anxiety now.

Li Wan was extremely smart. Otherwise, she would not have been able to manage the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce and make the right choice of collaborating with Lin Yuan at the crucial moment.

However, her assumption about Ding Chengshuo's current mood was wrong.

The entire Ding family was distraught.

Meanwhile, Ding Chengshuo reclined relaxedly in his breeding room and sipped on wine as he chatted with the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle that was in human form. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏.com

In the past, Ding Chengshuo would call a family meeting whenever something happened in Oak City, regardless of the size of the matter. But this time, he had no intention of holding a family meeting.

Ding Chengshuo had built the Ding family by himself, and everyone in the family had to keep their heads bowed around him.

Thus, although the members of the Ding family were full of fret, they did not bother him.

Previously, Ding Chengshuo regarded Oak City with almost a ridiculous amount of importance. He saw it as his pride. Any trouble that took place in Oak City would leave Ding Chengshuo vibrating with anxiousness.

Now, Oak City had become a powder keg and possessed power beyond his own experts.

Ding Chengshuo was not anxious because he trusted Lin Yuan's ability. The evolution of the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle from Myth II to pinnacle Myth III supported his view.

Ding Chengshuo raised his wine cup and downed its contents as he looked out the window.

He was curious about how Lin Yuan would quell this wave of trouble.

Ding Chengshuo did not know Lin Yuan well but had dedicated his loyalty to him. He hinged Ding Chengshuo's honor and glory on Lin Yuan.

He was well aware of how strong Lin Yuan was. The stronger Lin Yuan was, the better protected Ding Chengshuo would be.

Ding Chengshuo had assumed that Lin Yuan was a member of one of the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families. His only point of confusion was why news traveled so slowly between the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families.

If the other secret elite families knew that one of their own was supporting the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, they should not have started causing trouble.

While Ding Chengshuo was deep in thought, an enraged voice traveled from a distance away.

"People in the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, listen up! All of you will come out and line up in front of the tree castle within three minutes and give the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce an explanation! Otherwise, I will set fire and burn up the entire tree castle!"

The person who was shouting was a muscular man who had a beautiful light green leather cloak draped over him. There were multiple small blue stones embedded in his belt.

At that moment, fury was written all over his face. Clearly, the loss of the tree castle in Oak City was a huge blow to the Lu family.

There was a man dressed in a gold robe standing next to this middle-aged man. This man, dressed in a gold robe, was wearing a gold mask. He resembled a specter.

There were four elderly men standing behind these two men. There were another eight spirit qi professionals who were wearing leather armor standing behind these four elderly men.

The eight spirit qi professionals were releasing the full might of their auras. Most of them had the aura of A-rank spirit qi professionals. This was clearly the Lu family's most elite team.

In the bandit group that Lin Yuan had encountered, the strongest expert had been Luo Ya, but the strongest fey she had was only Gold grade.

Meanwhile, each member of the Lu family's elite team had Gold and above feys. Any three of them could take down Luo Ya's entire bandit group.

The man wearing a blue leather cloak assumed that the people from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle would dash out immediately and start trembling in front of him.

But a minute after he spoke, it was as though the people from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce had not heard what he had said, as no one showed up.

This result was like a vicious slap to the man's face. By ignoring him, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce had gravely insulted him.

A thearch-class expert was respected everywhere he went. Even the veteran families in Sacred Wood City had to pay respects to him.

If he did not teach the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce a lesson, the name of Lu Han would be devolved into a laughingstock amongst all the factions of the Startling Lines Continent.

Lu Han took back the three minutes he said he would give the people from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce and barked at the eight spirit qi professionals, "Summon all of your fire-type feys and burn up the Diamond Hollowed Tamarix that the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle resides in!"

When they received Lu Han's order, the spirit qi professionals who had fire-type feys summoned their feys, while those who did not have fire-type feys looked envious of their teammates who had fire-type feys.

Since Lu Han had been slighted, burning the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle would help him to restore his pride. This was a chance to distinguish oneself in front of him.

The competition within a secret elite family of the Great Lush Federation was very intense. The leader of a team received ten times better treatment than his subordinates.

The spirit qi professionals who had fire-type feys wielded their feys and unleashed all the flames they could at the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle.

The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle was in the Diamond Hollowed Tamarix.

The higher the grade of the Hollowed Tamarix, the larger its body would be, and the more compartments would form in its interior.

Thus, the Hollowed Tamarix was terrified of being burned.

1891 Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast! Tool Transformation!

The Hollowed Tamarix's body was rich with oil that could deter pests but was the best fuel for flames.

It was forbidden to set fires in all the cities of the Divine Wood Federation.

This was why many people present had been certain that the Ding family would send their experts after Lin Yuan when he burned down the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce's tree castle.

But now, Lu Han was clearly here with the intention of causing trouble and had even given Ding Chengshuo advance warning.

!

The most prioritized things in the Startling Lines Continent were power and pride.

As one of the few thearch-class experts in the Startling Lines Continent, the emperor-class expert Ding Chengshuo was like an insect to him.

So what if you're a Class 4 Creation Master? If I want to kill you, your death sentence will be sealed.

Nonetheless, no matter how powerful Lu Han was, he would not dare to cause trouble for Ding Chengshuo, much less kill him.

Class 4 Creation Masters were the most precious resource to the Divine Wood Federation.

If Lu Han dared to attack Ding Chengshuo, he would become the enemy of the entire Divine Wood Federation. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only

He might not dare to attack Ding Chengshuo, but he had no qualms about setting on fire Oak City, which was under Ding Chengshuo's jurisdiction.

Soon, Lu Han realized that something was wrong.

The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle should have been set alight. Despite being bombarded by the fire-type attacks of numerous Gold and Platinum feys, the tree castle was not even slightly scorched.

It was as though the Hollowed Tamarix was unburnable as it continued to stand tall amidst the flames.

Lu Han did not have fire-type feys. He frowned and glanced at one of the elderly men behind him.

The elderly man immediately summoned a large lion covered with beautiful azure flames. It was almost eight meters tall, and the movement of its thick mane sent the blue flames even higher.

The temperature of the area in front of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce climbed almost 15 degrees higher due to the appearance of the lion.

The elderly man knew that if the Blue Flames Wild Lion could not burn up the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, he would not only fail to restore Lu Han's pride but would have also humiliated him even further.

If Lu Han's public threat was not fulfilled, the rage of his embarrassment would be vented on this elderly man.

With this thought, the elderly man ordered, "Blue Flames Wild Lion, use Heat Ability Gathering, then Lion Fire Roar!"

When the Blue Flames Wild Lion heard its contractor's order, it focused all its power on his claws as its body compressed slightly. At this instant, all the flames on the Blue Flames Wild Lion's body entered its body, and its skin darkened.

When the Blue Flames Wild Lion's body turned gray, it let out a fearsome roar.

A ball of blue flames slammed into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle.

The Blue Flames Wild Lion was a fey that could roll grades to do battle.

When it released its full-powered attack, it could set even a forest of Myth Hollowed Tamarix on fire, much less one Diamond Hollowed Tamarix.

When Lu Han started shouting, he attracted the discreet attention of many experts. One of these experts was Zhuang Bei of the Profit Chamber of Commerce.

Besides various people from Oak City, Ding Chengshuo was also present.

If Su Yiren had not told him in advance not to act no matter what happened, Ding Chengshuo would have instructed the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle to block the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Yuan would be arriving at any moment.

If something happened to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce while it was under Ding Chengshuo's care, he would not be able to explain it to Lin Yuan.

As he watched the blue flames envelop the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle, Ding Chengshuo and many members of the faction let out cries of astonishment.

What? Why wasn't the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce burning? Not only was it not burning, but it still looked the same as it always did, without even a single scratch. In fact, the longer the flue flames burned around it, the more verdant the tree castle became.

Suddenly, everyone realized that the Diamond X/Legend Hollowed Tamarix was letting out a mystical fluctuation while under the Blue Flames Wild Lion's attack.

Ding Chengshuo was the first to regain his senses.

Oh my God! The Hollowed Tamarix in which the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce resided has comprehended a Willpower Rune from the environment. What is happening?

At that moment, even Ding Chengshuo felt the ache of Lu Han's humiliation.

Lu Han could tell that something was off about the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. He also knew that there was an expert within the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, Song Dingzhen would not have been killed.

Lu Han had made a point of looking into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's background.

The information he had received was that the Li family, who supported the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, was much weaker than the Lu family. From then on, Lu Han was no longer worried about the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

The strongest experts of a mid-level family could only be that powerful. If they had truly broken through to thearch-class like the rumors said, they could have obtained the support of a secret elite family and sourced resources from them.

Since Lu Han was not afraid of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce in the slightest and was now being regarded as a joke, he immediately summoned the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast.

The Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast was Creation Breed. Once it was summoned, the area in a ten thousand-meter radius was immediately permeated with a dense and sharp aura.

When the sharp aura landed on a person, their skin would not be torn, but they would feel as though he was being pierced.

The Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast was very small, as it was only around half the length of a finger.

Its body was covered with thin black and white thorns, making it resemble a cute ball of thorns.

However, everyone present, including the Ding family's experts, looked terrified of the cute ball of thorns.

Thearch-class experts only existed in the top factions of the Radiance Federation, Freedom Federation, and Azure Federation.

In a place like the Startling Lines Continent where there were no Class 5 Creation Masters, thearch-class experts were almost creatures from fantasy. This was because, without Class 5 Creation Masters, the thearch-class experts could only rely on themselves to forcefully push themselves to break through.

After Lu Han summoned the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast, everyone knew that he had become serious. The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce was about to take on a livid thearch-class expert.

Yet, very few people felt that Lu Han would be able to regain his pride and successfully destroy the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle.

The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle was too bizarre.

Everyone was aware of Lu Han's power, but the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle was beyond their understanding.

At that moment, Lu Han shrieked, "Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast! Tool Transformation!"

1892 Shatter a Therach-Class Weapon With Bare Hands!

The Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast's body trembled when it received Lu Han's command. Soon, black light was emitted from within its body.

The Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast's black and white thorns left its body and reformed into a black and white and black knife that was covered with thorns.

The knife that the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast transformed into was enveloped in the sharp aura.

As the light green leather cloak billowed, a sharp aura sailed toward the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle.

!

Lu Han waved the knife and an aura that seemed to carry the might of a mountain was slashed down toward the Hollowed Tamarix. An enormous image of a knife that was almost 1,000 meters long descended from the sky.

At this moment, a small figure wrapped in a black robe emerged from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

The black figure raised her hand and used the back of her hand to block the image of the descending knife. Next, she flipped her hand around and grabbed the blade with her hand.

At that moment, Lu Han felt as though he was being controlled by an inexplicable power.

Soon, to the shock of everyone, the girl reached out her other hand and grabbed in front of her. Every time she grabbed the knife, cracks appeared in the blade.

Soon, the knife that the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast transformed into was shattered in the girl's grip.

After the girl broke the knife, she did not move on to attack Lu Han. Her hands immediately retreated under the black robe.

However, those with sharp eyes would notice that her hands had turned ghastly pale and her nails had turned light green. It was clear that that color of hands was not right for a living person.

Moreover, there were also frightening scars all over the girl's hands. The sight of the scars would make chills run up anyone's spine.

Lu Han's might as a thearch-class expert fully vanished as pain and terror took front and center on his face.

The death of his fey had seriously injured Lu Han's spirit. However, the pain of his spiritual injury paled in comparison to Lu Han's fear.

At that moment, the figure in the black robe said in a raspy voice, "I'm not going to kill you because my master doesn't want the show to end so quickly. The show must go on until he arrives. Continue to instruct those behind you to burn down the tree castle!"

Lu Han and the rest of the people who the Lu family sent were stupefied. They were both afraid and shocked by what the black-robed figure said.

According to what the black robed figure said, it seemed that the figure was a woman.

However, just how strong was this woman? She was even able to use her hand to break the Tool Transformation of a Creation Breed fey.

This power had exceeded Lu Han and the Lu family's comprehension.

If they had truly gotten on the wrong side of an expert who was far stronger than them, they might be able to survive if they offered apologies and compensated with resources.

However, the girl said that she wanted them to continue to try to burn down the tree castle. This was not something a normal person would say.

If there was something wrong with the expert's mind, apologizing, getting down on their knees, and compensating with resources would not be enough to trade for their survival.

The Lu family was not alone. All the factions hidden in the shadows were shocked by the woman's power.

The man dressed in the golden robe who had been standing next to Lu Han dared not leap into the air either. Instead, he stood his ground and said austerely to the woman in the black robe, "The Lu family is at fault here. May I ask which faction you're from? The Lu family will pay you compensation. After today, I will let all the others know that you're guarding the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce so they won't dare to target the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce!"

All the factions in the Great Lush Federation knew that the man dressed in the gold robe came from the Jin family which was one of the Eight Elite Secret Families of the Great Lush Federation.

The Great Lush Federation's secret elite families, the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court, and the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court were the strongest factions in the Startling Lines Continent.

Although the Jin family was only one of the mid-level families among the Eight Elite Secret Families of the Great Lush Federation, they had the authority to speak with the will of the entire Great Lush Federation.

Everyone assumed that the black robed girl would give in to the gold-robed man. Instead, the black robed girl said in a raspy voice, "You want to apologize on behalf of the Lu family? Who are you? I don't like the golden mask you're wearing. Take it off!"

Di Wanmi turned and said to Lu Han, "If you can't perform properly for my master, there's no point in keeping you around. Useless people might as well become food for me."

Suddenly, a large flesh-like bundle of roots appeared within Di Wanmi's body. The roots slithered out of the black robes and twirled around in the air as though they had a life of their own. The purple and red continued to make sucking motions and made for a macabre sight.

The Tongue of Relinquish's tip's control over Di Wanmi involved activating the cells in Di Wanmi's body.

Although Di Wanmi no longer had any thoughts of her own, her mindset was still the same as it had always been.

Red Thorn controlled Di Wanmi's mind but the way that Di Wanmi did things and the logic behind her actions were the same as when she was still alive.

The man dressed in a gold robe and wearing a golden mask had not done anything wrong.

Red Thorn was displeased because it felt that this person did not deserve to wear a golden mask when Lin Yuan wore a silver mask.

The part about how useless people might as well become her food was something that Di Wanmi said based on her original mindset.

When Di Wanmi had been alive, she was obsessed with sacrificing the lives of all the Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation to polish her Creation Master level.

If Red Thorn issued an order to kill these defiant people, they would indeed be better off absorbed by the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng's roots. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

The Decay Body Flesh Ginseng had died.

Although the Tongue of Relinquish could control a dead spirit qi professional and feys, it could not control sacred source lifeforms.

At first, Lin Yuan thought about instructing Di Wanmi to turn the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng into a precious weapon.

But, Di Wanmi ended up absorbing the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng and fusing with it.

1893 Did I Say You Can Leave?

The man in the gold robes would never have expected this outcome after he spoke.

He currently had two choices.

The first choice would be to depend on the power of the Jin family to continue clashing against the black-robed woman. The other choice would be to do as she said and remove his golden mask.

But once he did this, he would instantly become the laughingstock of the entire Startling Lines Continent. Even the Jin family's reputation would take a serious hit.

!

However, the man could sense that his life could truly come to an end if he did not remove his mask.

Although he was slightly stronger than Lu Han, he would never be able to break the knife that the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast had transformed into using his bare hands. In fact, if he tried to touch the knife that the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast had transformed into with his bare hands, his hands would immediately be reduced to a bloody wreck.

The longer Red Thorn looked at the man's golden mask, the more irked it felt.

It was about to set Di Wanmi into motion when the man removed his golden mask and revealed an extremely ordinary countenance. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

Now that the man had removed his golden mask, Red Thorn did not order Di Wanmi to attack. Instead, it ordered Di Wanmi to extend the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng's roots and attack the team behind the Lu family.

The ginseng roots enjoyed a feast as they reduced the lifeforms into dregs and puddles.

A Platinum Golden Sharp Wolf tried to use its sharp teeth to bite through the roots to save itself. However, when the teeth made contact with the flesh-like roots, they immediately broke down into energy that was absorbed by the roots.

Di Wanmi's action left Lu Han's heart aching over the loss of the Lu family's elite team while he hurriedly instructed the spirit qi professionals who had fire-type feys to continue attacking the tree castle.

It seemed that the only way to live was to do as the black-robed girl had said.

The spirit qi professionals all started to maniacally wield their feys to continue launching fire at the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. It was as though the more effort they put into trying to burn the castle, the higher their chances of survival would be.

The man in gold robes ignored this.

He had brought shame onto the Jin family by removing his golden mask. But the deaths of the experts from the Lu family was no different from trampling all over the Jin family's pride.

Since the man in the gold robe was an expert from the Jin family, he was willing to fight for the Jin family's honor. Even if he knew that his enemy was stronger than him, he would never do anything at the expense of the Jin family's pride.

The man in gold robes had not done anything because he heard the woman in black robes mention her master twice. This meant that she had a powerful force supporting her.

No matter what, he had to find out who the woman's master was. Otherwise, his death would be for nothing.

At this moment, Zhuang Bei who was leading the team from the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce was trembling uncontrollably. The image of a young man's face surfaced in his mind.

That young man had instructed an expert to burn up all the people from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

The young man later entered the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

In the time after that, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce had been on a sharp trajectory upward. This meant that the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's rapid advancement was related to this young man.

Could the master that the black-robed woman spoke of be that young man?

While Zhuang Bei was thinking, he saw the Giant Eagle Chamber of Commerce preparing to retreat.

At this moment, the black-robed woman said in an unsettlingly deep voice, "If anyone tries to leave, whether it's the actors or audience, the performance will become less exciting. If my master arrives and isn't entertained by this performance, all of you will have to die to make up for his unhappiness! If you dare to take even a single step backward, you will be the next to join those who were consumed by the ginseng's roots."

Di Wanmi's words caused the people from the Giant Eagle Chamber of Commerce to freeze, afraid to take even another step backward. This included the experts leading the Giant Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

All of them had come in throngs because they were waiting for Lu Han to lead the people from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce to conquer the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce so they could negotiate a share of the loot from Lu Han. They could not allow Lu Han to take control of all the merchant resources from Oak City.

All of them could challenge Lu Han because they had experts who were just as strong as Lu Han.

At this moment, all of the experts had their gazes fixed on Di Wanmi.

Since Di Wanmi had forbidden the Giant Eagle Chamber of Commerce from leaving, none of the other chambers of commerce would be able to leave either.

Di Wanmi had already shown that she was serious about killing.

The people present did not know what would happen to them once the master that Di Wanmi mentioned arrived. But they knew that if they had the audacity to leave, they would immediately be decimated by the flesh-like ginseng roots.

After Di Wanmi spoke, the entire situation turned extremely abnormal.

Everyone present watched as Lu Han continued to instruct the spirit qi professionals to use their fire-type feys to set fire to the tree castle.

There were several spirit qi professionals who had pushed their feys too far and caused the spirit qi in their bodies to be used up. As such, their feys could no longer use their abilities.

Just as the spirit qi professionals were about to replenish their spiritual power, they were instantly absorbed by the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng.

Di Wanmi's action immediately made the spirit qi professionals who were still alive aware of why Di Wanmi kept mentioning use and uselessness. Those who were useful would survive while those who were useless would die. Only those who could continue to wield their feys to burn the tree castle would be useful while those who ran out of spiritual power would be deemed useless and promptly eaten.

Thus, those spirit qi professionals who were still alive started to conserve on their spiritual power while still ensuring that their feys could continue to release attacks. They were terrified of getting on the wrong side of the black-robed woman.

As Ding Chengshuo watched all these unfold, he gained a better understanding of the power that Lin Yuan possessed.

He could not help but be secretly happy that he had attached himself to Lin Yuan early on. Otherwise, he would also be in danger when Lin Yuan arrived at Oak City.

1894 Young Man From Far Away!

When Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi saw this from within the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, they felt as though they had passed through the storm and had arrived at the rainbow. At the same time, they were also filled with respect and gratitude for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had saved both Feng Jiazhi and Li Wan twice.

When the spirit qi professionals first started wielding their fire-type feys to burn the tree castle, Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi had not been worried because they had an expert stationed in the tree castle.

The expert could handle attacks of such a level.

!

But when the emperor-class expert's Blue Flames Wild Lion attacked the tree castle, both Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi started to worry. They had to force themselves to remain composed.

Once the thearch-class expert Lu Han started to attack as well, the two of them could no longer keep calm.

When the Thorny Weasel Ten Thousand Dagger Beast used Tool Transformation to transform into a knife and slashed it at the tree castle, Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi had been certain that it was the end of them. Even if the expert that Lin Yuan left at the tree castle was also therach-class, he would not be able to protect two burdens while also fending off another therach-class expert.

Yet, Mr. Han did not appear. Instead, Di Wanmi who always remained in the breeding room and rarely showed her face appeared.

Once Di Wanmi stepped in, she solved the issue using a method that Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi could not understand.

Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi did not see the way Di Wanmi handled the spirit qi professionals as cruel because Lu Han had decided to kill every living creature within the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle when he attacked out of rage and embarrassment.

If it was possible, Li Wan wanted to tell Di Wanmi that killing Lu Han was the best decision since their grudge against the Lu family had solidified. If they let Lu Han go, the Lu family would not take it lying down and send out more experts.

However, Li Wan did not have any grounds to say this to Di Wanmi.

Lin Yuan had already been troubled twice because of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

As she looked out the window, Li Wan felt a sense of ease.

With Lin Yuan around, she would never have to worry about being killed in a scuffle with the other chambers of commerce. Even the secret elite families and secret aristocratic families would not be able to touch her.

The fire around the tree castle continued to burn. The spirit qi professionals who were wielding the fire-type feys had already depleted most of their spiritual power.

Zhuang Bei felt as though his feet had gone numb.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes clattering on the ground could be heard in the distance.

Zhuang Bei thought.

A massacre could break out at any moment. Just who is the one who's brave enough to ride over now?

Zhuang Bei looked in the direction of the sound and saw a vintage fey carriage with intricate designs. The body of the fey carriage was silver and there were blue gems embedded all over it. The blue gems were especially radiant against the backdrop of silver.

The fey carriage was still too far away for Zhuang Bei to tell what material the fey carriage was made of. However, he could get a good look at the four majestic beasts pulling the fey carriage.

The four beasts had silvery-blue bodies that complemented the fey carriage extremely well. This was enough to determine that the fey carriage was custom-made.

Zhuang Bei could not help but bite down on his tongue. Those were four dragon horses!

Since Zhuang Bei was not a Creation Master, he could not tell what type of dragon horses they were.

Although the four dragon horses were galloping on the ground, there were clouds beneath their feet that kept all dust off their feet. Their aura caused numerous feys that were attacking the tree castle to start trembling in fear.

From the four dragon horses' appearance, Zhuang Bei could be certain that they would auction for at least 15 million Great Lush dollars.

According to the four dragon horses' aura, Zhuang Bei could estimate that they were around Diamond X and might have reached Legend quality.

Once the fey carriage drew near, Zhuang Bei saw that the fey carriage was made of Spirit Settling Silver.

Although the Iron Hammer Federation's main export was mineral ores, it was impossible to sense Spirit Settling Silver mines and were produced in very low quantities. Moreover, Creation Masters needed Spirit Settling Silver to concoct spirit fluids. Thus, Spirit Settling Silver was extremely expensive.

Yet, such a valuable metal spiritual ingredient had been used to create a fey carriage.

The blue gems that were embedded into the fey carriage emitted azure fluid fluctuations that blinded Zhuang Bei's sight. These blue gems were the Ungerground River Crystals that were only produced in Class 3 and above subterranean dimensional rifts.

The fey carriage could only be described as priceless. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏.com

Zhuang Bei watched as someone from inside the fey carriage opened the door.

After the young man in silver armor opened the door, he did not immediately step out of the fey carriage. Instead, he bent over and made an action of requesting for support.

A young man dressed in lavish clothes held the hand of the young man dressed in silver armor to help him out of the fey carriage.

This young man had black hair and eyes that shone like stars. His clothes were extremely well-made.

Although fur was extremely expensive in the Divine Wood Federation, silk was not cheap either, especially silk that came from feys that were Platinum grade and above.

The young man's clothes were moon-colored and the small pearls on them formed the pattern of a beast. The embroidered gems were white and yellow. The gems' color enabled the embroidery to appear pleasant while also giving off a unique complexity.

The spirit qi clothes did not appear complicated but it was clear that the workmanship was very laborious.

The young man did not have any accessories on him besides a ring on his finger and the blue and gold adornment on his waist. Once a person laid eyes on the blue and gold adornment, it would be difficult to look away.

Both the fey carriage's appearance and the young man's dressing were evidence that the young man's background was far from ordinary.

The people who had never seen Lin Yuan before wondered what would happen to him next because they did not think that he could be the master that the black-robed girl had spoken of.

At this moment, the black-robed girl walked over to the fey carriage and to the shock of everyone present, kneeled respectfully. The flesh-like ginseng roots that had been waving around the air also retreated back into her body.

At this moment, everyone present heard a dignified and clear voice speak. What this young man said caused the gold-robed man standing next to Lu Han to freeze.

1895 The Ending of Every Show Must Be Fixed!

The young man said, "The show is progressing nicely but the ending of every show must be fixed. I'm sure the Lu family decided the fate of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce before they attacked. I'm sure you're willing to take on the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's ending."

The young man had announced what their ending would be.

Lin Yuan had only arrived at the scene after so long because he wanted to establish a believable identity for himself at the scene. Once he had established the identity, anyone from the Divine Wood Federation, Iron Hammer Federation, and Great Lush Federation would want to get close to him He would not have to take the initiative to reach out to anyone.

Lin Yuan had come up with this plan long ago. This was why he asked Hu Quan to create this fey carriage in his spare time when he was not building the underground palace.

He had instructed Genius to nurture the Diamond X/Legend four Nether Fantasy Dragon Horses. Otherwise, there was no point in him and Liu Jie putting on such an act when he climbed out of the fey carriage.

Lin Yuan had prepared Tentacle Nodes in the underground palace and Oak City in advance. If he wanted to come over, he did not have to bat an eye before he used Node Transportation to transport himself over.

However, the people from the Startling Lines Continent cared about such a performance. The more mysterious and imposing one appeared, the more respected he would be.

Lu Han looked at Lin Yuan and tried to come up with a way to plead for their survival. Compared to the black-robed girl, Lin Yuan seemed much easier to negotiate with. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏.com

He did not notice that the gold-robed man's eyes were locked on Lu Han's gold and blue waist adornment.

As Lin Yuan observed the scene, he noticed the gold-robed man looking at his waist.

Lin Yuan could not help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that the gold-robed man had sensed that something was special about the Fish World Sea Trump Card.

In order for him to sense that the precious instrument was special, he had to have encountered precious instruments before. People who did not know what precious instruments were would just assume that the Fish World Sea Trump Card was a pretty accessory and not stare at it for too long.

There were no Class 5 Creation Masters in the Startling Lines Continent yet the gold-robed man had seen precious instruments before.

It seemed that the people behind the Great Lush Federation did possess Class 5 Creation Master resources.

This made things interesting!

Creation Masters had to climb the ladder rung by rung.

Given the mindset of the citizens of the Startling Lines Continent, once a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master managed to find a way to become a Class 5 Creation Master, the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master would definitely announce it to the world.

The Great Lush Federation was a federation that had a nomad role. All the factions within the federation managed chambers of commerce.

In the conflict between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation, the Great Lush Federation was always the weaker party. If a Class 5 Creation Master appeared in the Great Lush Federation, it would undoubtedly become the strongest federation in the Startling Lines Continent.

Only people with ulterior motives hid in the shadows.

Lin Yuan could be certain that the person pulling the strings behind the Great Lush Federation was like him, an outsider who was not from the Startling Lines Continent.

Lin Yuan's pristine shoes stepped down the stone path. Everyone present was transfixed on every step he took.

Lu Han was a thearch-class expert and had not felt such psychological pressure in many years.

He came to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce for revenge. Since he was going to attack the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, it went without saying that he had to kill everyone within.

But now, the young man said that the ending was going to be transferred to him instead. This implied that he would be the one to die.

After Lu Han became a thearch-class expert, he basked in absolute power and had everything he wanted. When he lived under such conditions, he did not have the courage to face death.

Lu Han quickly walked up to Lin Yuan and bowed as he said, "Sir, it's always better to make friends than enemies. We the Lu family are a respected family from the Great Lush Federation. although we are not a secret elite family, we still have power. My brother is the head of the Lu family. If you let me go, we are willing to provide you with everything you need in the future!"

Lin Yuan did not immediately respond to Lu Han. His silence filled Lu Han with anxiousness.

Lu Han could sense derision in Lin Yuan's expression.

This was the truth.

Lin Yuan was looking at Lu Han like how a person would look at a dunce.

You have already led the Lu family to attack my subordinates. How can you expect me to let you go?

In a place where martial force designated who the yoke of authority went to, once one party decided to kill, nothing could be done to change it.

He felt that Lu Han was trying to take advantage of the Lu family's status in the Great Lush Federation to beg for his forgiveness. Alternatively, Lu Han was issuing a warning to him.

Lu Han was only around eight steps away from Lin Yuan. This was close enough for therach-class experts to attack.

Liu Jie and Di Wanmi were standing behind Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan had not given them advance notice, Lu Han would have been stopped long before he managed to get so close to Lin Yuan.

If Lin Yuan did not say that he was going to let the Lu family go, Lu Han would definitely attack him.

Lin Yuan was willing to waste time talking to Lu Han because he was waiting for Lu Han to attack him.

At this moment, Lin Yuan had already summoned the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute into his hand.

As he held the long water-colored flute, Lin Yuan's aura turned gentler.

Yet, no one present was looking at him with kind gazes because all of their lives were in his hands.

When Lin Yuan took out the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute, he looked at the gold-robed man. He saw that the gold-robed man's eyes immediately fixated on the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute.

A flash of confidence streaked across Lin Yuan's gaze.

Lin Yuan was going to use the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute to kill Lu Han.

This was so he could test what it was like to use a precious instrument in combat.

He actually did not need to inject overly pure water-element energy into the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute to kill Lu Han, nor did he need to boost it with Frigid.

He only needed to summon the two fishes within the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute that had reached thearch-class and he would be able to kill Lu Han.

Additionally, Lin Yuan had no intention of doing anything to those who were watching. He instructed Di Wanmi to keep everyone here because he wanted all the factions in the Great Lush Federation to see that he possessed a precious weapon and spread the word to the person supporting them.

1896 Power of the Two Small Fishes!

Although most of the people present did not have the same discerning eye that the gold-robed man did, they only had to describe the events of people and those in the know would know.

Lin Yuan spun the Vast Sea Wave-Raising Flute leisurely and once Lu Han was about to reach his limit, Lin Yuan said calmly, "Even if the Lu family becomes my slaves, I'm not interested. Moreover, I see the Lu family as nothing more than a blade of grass by the side of the road."

Di Wanmi waved her hand and flesh-like roots shot out from underneath her robe. The flesh-like roots consumed the remaining spirit qi professionals that were wielding fire-type feys.

Lin Yuan's words and Di Wanmi's action left Lu Han in despair as he screamed, "Even if the Lu family really is a blade of grass, it will be the blade of grass that crushes you!"

!

Lu Han rushed at Lin Yuan with the intention of making a last ditch attempt at survival by taking him hostage.

When Lu Han moved past eight steps of distance between him and Lin Yuan, Ding Chengshuo wanted to warn Lin Yuan to move away. However, given the circumstances, he had no authority to say such a thing. Once he said it, he would have exposed the relationship between him and Lin Yuan.

If he exposed his relationship with Lin Yuan, he might not be able to take Lin Yuan into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.

Ding Chengshuo knew that Lin Yuan had only accepted his loyalty and helped to evolve the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle from Myth II to pinnacle Myth III because he wanted to enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.

If he could not take Lin Yuan into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, he would no longer be of use to Lin Yuan and be abandoned by him. If Lin Yuan abandoned him, he would not be able to help the Ding family to flourish.

However, what Ding Chengshuo was the most worried about happened.

Lin Yuan pointed his long blue flute at Lu Han and a miniature sea appeared beneath Lin Yuan. Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

Two fishes appeared in the sea and started swimming toward Lu Han.

Lu Han was unbothered by Lin Yuan's counterattack. Given Lin Yuan's age, how strong could he be?

But when the two fishes made contact with Lu Han's body, he felt as though he was a buoy in the sea that was being thrown around by violent waves. All of the organs in his body was turned to paste by the overwhelming force.

After the two fishes brushed passed Lu Han, Lu Han crumpled and fell. It was as though his body was a bag of water and the water rippled around him when he hit the ground.

Once Lu Han fell, he did not stand up again.

Regardless of how terrified the people present were, they could not hold back their cries of shock.

A young man had summoned two fishes with his long blue flute and used them to easily kill a thearch-class expert.

This sight stupefied the people watching even more than the power that Di Wanmi had displayed.

Just what was that long blue flute? Could it be a weapon that a fey had used Tool Transformation to change into?

However, there was a process to a fey using Tool Transformation.

This young man had clearly summoned a long blue flute and not a fey that he later instructed to use Tool Transformation.

Besides the confusion of the masses, a few of them were looking at the long blue flute with curiosity and incredulity.

Although the people present were all a bundle of emotions, all of them understood that this young man was a wily old fox.

Once Lu Han moved past a distance of eight steps between him and the young man, the young man summoned the long blue flute. This meant that the young man had anticipated Lu Han's actions. It was as though the young man had a handle on everything that was happening.

When Lin Yuan attacked Lu Han, Red Thorn instructed Di Wanmi to consume all the remaining emperor-class experts.

It could be said that Di Wanmi and the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng's fusing was a blessing for Di Wanmi.

Normally, the Tongue of Relinquish controlled the body of a dead expert. Although the body of the dead expert could be triggered, it would be impossible to increase his power.

But now, Di Wanmi could absorb energy from the world through the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng, allowing her to increase her power.

However, Lin Yuan never thought about increasing Di Wanmi's power because increasing Di Wanmi's power required the sacrifice of a large number of human experts.

Lin Yuan had expressed his opposition to the path that Di Wanmi was going down long ago. Thus, he would not help her down that same path just because she had now become part of his power.

Additionally, Lin Yuan had no lack of experts. The marsh world was like a treasure trove of experts to him.

Since Di Wanmi was a Class 5 Creation Master, she was one of Lin Yuan's irreplaceable weapons.

When Lin Yuan killed Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian, he had obtained the bodies of their three sacred source lifeforms.

Di Wanmi would be busy with creating precious resources for Lin Yuan for a long time.

Lin Yuan had been ignoring the gold-robed man but the gold-robed man's back was already covered with cold sweat.

When Lin Yuan cast his gaze across the crowd, he saw that most of them were clearly troops besides the few who were regular citizens of Oak City.

These troops came from the chambers of commerce that were under the control of the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families.

When Lin Yuan cast his gaze across the crowd, many of them instinctively took a step back.

At this moment, Liu Jie moved forward and said, "My Young Master will be resting temporarily in Oak City. The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce will be under his protection. He does not want anyone to cause trouble or compete with the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce."

Liu Jie's words caused the leaders of the chambers of commerce who were present to hold their breaths.

They could understand not causing trouble for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

After this matter, with the spilled blood of the Lu family as a lesson, no one with a brain would attempt to cause trouble for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

But what did he mean about not competing with the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce?

As long as there were chambers of commerce in Oak City, they would be competing with the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

Could it be that this young man wanted the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to be the only chamber of commerce in Oak City?

If that was the case, even if they agreed, the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court would not agree.

One chamber of commerce was insufficient to sustain the trade needs of the entire Oak City.

But after Liu Jie said what he said, no one dared to voice their opposition. Besides silent consent, they did not have any other choice.

1897 Do You Know Why I Only Kept You Back?

If they said anything against him, the person who said it would be reduced to sustenance for the scary flesh-like ginseng roots. It might even impact the faction supporting them.

Just as the chambers of commerce were about to leave Oak City and report back to their families, the young man said, "I'm not a petty person. The center Oak City might be long solely to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce but the north and south of the cities can still be competed over by the other chambers of commerce."

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, the expressions of the people leading the chambers of commerce did not change. However, they rolled their eyes to themselves. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

How does that make sense? Oak City's business district is situated at the center of the city. The north and south regions of the city are only filled with the homeless and slums. Those places are filthy. You can go and ask Ding Chengshuo if he even recognizes the north and south of the city as part of Oak City. If we do business there, where will the customers come from? The homeless? Thank you for your generosity but you can save it for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce!

Although these people had rolled their eyes internally, they also let out breaths of relief.

From what the young man said, he did not intend on taking their lives. How else would they be able to do business in the north and south regions of the city?

Just as the leaders of the chambers of commerce were about to say a few last words to Lin Yuan and try to leave, Lin Yuan went on to say, "I love excitement. I won't be happy if the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber of commerce in Oak City. I really hope to see all of you build tree castles in the north and south regions of the city."

Lin Yuan spoke in a lighthearted tone but his words caused the hearts of those leaders of chambers of commerce to sink.

From what Lin Yuan said, they knew that they had no choice but to build chambers of commerce in the north and south regions of the city.

Although Lin Yuan did not say what the consequences of building chambers of commerce in the north and south regions of the city would be, they did not want to wait to find out.

The way that Lin Yuan's subordinate, or rather that black-robed woman's method of exterminating the Lu family was going to turn up in the nightmares of all the people present.

The leaders of the chambers of commerce shared looks before they hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, "We will go to the north and south regions of the city to build chambers of commerce now! With our chambers of commerce there, we promise that the north and south regions of the city will be full of activity!"

Lin Yuan did not react at all to this promise but Ding Chengshuo almost exploded with happiness.

Ding Chengshuo had already given up on trying to manage the north and south regions of the city. Moreover, they were not counted as parts of Oak City. They were just slums that the homeless and vagrants had put together after they were barred from entering the main city.

With these chambers of commerce investing money into developing those regions, those regions would be built up very quickly. At that time, Oak City's domain would have expanded.

Oak City, which was considered one of the more remote cities, would become one of the main cities of the Divine Wood Federation.

It could be said that Ding Chengshuo was the biggest beneficiary of the conflict in Oak City.

Lin Yuan had said what he said because he had a plan of his own.

The nearest city to both Ta Lei's territory and the underground palace was Oak City.

Since Oak City did not have a large population, it had not been able to thrive in the past years.

Lin Yuan could invest resources into Oak City but not people.

Then, it became necessary for Lin Yuan to develop Oak City. The more developed Oak City was, the better it would be for Lin Yuan.

Now that he had saved the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce and secured resources for them, it would undoubtedly cause the other chambers of commerce to flee Oak City. This was not beneficial for Oak City's development.

Thus, Lin Yuan offered those two regions to the other chambers of commerce.

When Lin Yuan was searching for the Dark Sun Send Mess Butterflies and Su Yiren, he had visited the north and south regions of Oak City.

Lin Yuan had saved Little Flower and Little Grass from the north part of the city and had encountered the decrepit Su Yiren in the south part of the city.

If those chambers of commerce developed the north and south regions of the city, it would bring a bright future to its inhabitants. He would also be able to benefit their lives while he fulfilled his own goals.

When he heard the assurances of the leaders of the chambers of commerce, Lin Yuan said, "Since all of you are so insistent, let's do it like you said and have you start developing the north and south regions of the city now. Once you're done building your chambers of commerce, do send people to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to give a report. All of you can watch over each other. If any chamber of commerce isn't doing a good job, you can report them to me. The reporter will be rewarded with items such as this pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts."

While he spoke, a pair of large scarlet walnuts appeared in his hand and he started turning them slightly in his palm.

Although the leaders of the chambers of commerce had their fair share of experience, they could not help but be stunned by the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.

If Lin Yuan could casually offer Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts as rewards for reporting, it meant that he did not regard them as important.

Just how wealthy was he?

All of the chambers of commerce resolved to keep close watch over the other chambers of commerce.

Some of the more intelligent leaders of chambers of commerce had already led their teams toward the north and south regions of the city to scout out the area and choose the best locations to build their tree castles.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

However, the gold-robed man was still standing at the exact same spot. this was because Di Wanmi's aura was holding him captive and making it difficult for him to even draw breath.

The pressure that Di Wanmi was exerting allowed the gold-robed man to realize the difference in power between him and Di Wanmi and also ground away at his mind.

The gold-robed man came from a secret aristocratic family and was the most likely person amongst everyone present to be aware of the Great Lush Federation's secrets.

Hence, Lin Yuan wanted to question him properly.

Rather than racking his brain to try to come up with a way to loosen the gold-robed man's lips, Lin Yuan preferred for the gold-robed man to voluntarily give up all he knew.

At this moment, Lin Yuan looked at the gold-robed man and asked, "After standing for so long, do you know why I only kept you back?"

Lin Yuan's words caused the gold-robed man's body to quiver.

1898 The More You Say the Happier I Am

The gold-robed man was a thearch-class expert from one of the Great Lush Federation's secret aristocratic families. This meant that he was in the upper echelons of the Great Lush Federation.

He was in such a sorry state now because, from the moment Lin Yuan arrived, he had started to oppress and torture the gold-robed man. Moreover, Lin Yuan was much too powerful!

If Lin Yuan also only possessed therach-class power, it would be a level of power that Lin Yuan could understand and the gold-robed man would not be this terrified.

Alas, Lin Yuan had demonstrated power that was far beyond the gold-robed man's understanding.

Even an expert could not stand up to the fear of the unknown.

When he heard Lin Yuan's question, the gold-robed man said with much difficulty, "I don't know why you kept me behind. I already told you that I'm not a member of the Lu family."

Lin Yuan scoffed and said, "You already joined the Lu family's troops. How is that different from being part of the family? Obviously, I kept you behind because I need to talk to you. If you provide me with a satisfactory answer, I will let you leave Oak City alive. If I'm unsatisfied with your answer, your friend Lu Han will be happy to receive you in the afterlife."

The gold-robed man's eyes lit up because Lin Yuan had essentially given him a path to survival.

Since the gold-robed man came from a secret aristocratic family, he had strong analytical skills and could guess what Lin Yuan was thinking.

If another member of a chamber of commerce from the Great Lush Federation was present, the gold-robed man would keep his lips sealed under all circumstances. But now, he was the only member of the Great Lush Federation who was present so he could afford to speak more freely.

As for Lin Yuan saying that Lu Han was his friend, the gold-robed man did not dare to deny it.

Lu Han was his subordinate as the Lu family was the elite family under the Jin family.

It went without saying that the Jin family had to control the Lu family. He had been sent to keep Lu Han under control. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only

There was no way that the gold-robed man would reveal this relationship. If he did, he would be admitting to Lin Yuan that he had agreed to allow Lu Han to cause trouble for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

Since he knew that he would not die as long as he was cooperative, the gold-robed man said in a serious voice, "Lord, no matter what you ask me, I will tell you all you want to know as long as I have the answers!"

Lin Yuan pointed at the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle and said, "Since you understand the situation, let's go in to talk!"

Lin Yuan took such an attitude toward the gold-robed man because he wanted to test what kind of person the gold-robed man was. This was the same situation as when he accepted Ding Chengshuo as his subordinate.

During his development into the Startling Lines Continent, Lin Yuan did not mind picking a few residents to nurture.

From what the gold-robed man said, it indicated that he did not feel loyalty to the Jin family or the person pulling the strings of the Great Lush Federation. Hence, Lin Yuan felt that it was worth picking him as a long-term investment.

However, Lin Yuan needed to be done questioning him before he could decide how he should treat him.

Since Su Yiren had been developing in the Divine Wood Federation for the past few months, she had to have more information than Lin Yuan.

Thus, he decided to use Thoughts Letter Paper to call Su Yiren over to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce so they could question the gold-robed man together.

When Lin Yuan stepped into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle, he saw Li Wan, Feng Jiazhi, and the rest of the Sincere Merchant Group waiting to welcome him uproariously.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi.

When Li Wan and Feng Jiazhi saw the gold-robed man, they knew that Lin Yuan had business to attend to and hurriedly found a room for him.

Frankly, from the moment Lin Yuan obtained shares of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce and Li Wan started to view him as a pillar of support, she had given up the president's room on the top floor to him.

She had also done some remodeling to the president's office.

Currently, Lin Yuan was sitting on the leather chair in the president's office while Liu Jie sat next to him and was sipping on fresh juice.

Di Wanmi was silently standing behind Lin Yuan like a bodyguard.

This discovery caused slight shock to appear on the gold-robed man's face.

Given the black-robed woman's power, the young man should be paying respects to her. But now, it seemed as though she was nothing more than his tool.

Just how strong did the faction behind the young man have to be in order for him to take such an attitude toward such an expert?

This thought filled the gold-robed man with even more fill.

He suddenly thought about how Lin Yuan said that he would allow him to leave Oak City alive.

But what would he do once he left Oak City? He could not let the fate of his survival rest in the hands of whether this young man kept his word.

The gold-robed man had himself gone back on his word numerous times. Thus, he did not believe in promises.

While the gold-robed man was gripped with terror, Lin Yuan said, "Later, someone will be here to ask you questions. What you need to do is tell the truth. The more you say, the happier I'll be. If you turn out to be as obedient as Ding Chengshuo, I don't mind letting you live an existence of a higher quality."

Lin Yuan stopped interacting with the gold-robed man and did not even bother to observe his reaction.

When Lin Yuan mentioned Ding Chengshuo, Liu Jie immediately realized what Lin Yuan meant.

Lin Yuan was telling the gold-robed man that he would accept him into his side if he gave the right answers.

Besides possible benefits in store, the way that Lin Yuan forced the other chambers of commerce to move to the north and south regions of the city had already developed Oak City to a large extent.

The gold-robed man could now breathe easier and much of his fear evaporated.

If he could meet the young man's standard and side with him instead, his safety would be assured.

When Lu Han decided to cause trouble for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, the gold-robed man had gone to see Ding Chengshuo.

At that time, the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle had been by Ding Chengshuo's side.

The gold-robed man noticed that in less than two years, the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle had evolved from Myth II to pinnacle Myth III. It was impossible that Ding Chengshuo was capable of such a thing.

It was likely that Ding Chengshuo's increase in power came from this young man.

From the moment the gold-robed man entered the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle, he was ready to be fully candid.

Regardless, he still had some worries.

1899 Premature Death of the Iron Hammer Federation!

The gold-robed man was afraid that he would be unable to meet Lin Yuan's standard even if he revealed all he knew because he did not know enough.

Soon, Su Yiren appeared at the doorway of the president's office. Since the door was not closed, Su Yiren walked through it directly.

Since Su Yiren was a Dark Envoy and had spent time as a vagrant, she cared more about her dignity than ever. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

Normally, Su Yiren put effort into dolling herself up. There were many spirit qi clothes in her spatial equipments. All of them had been custom-made according to the standards of a Dark Envoy.

After all, there were Class 5 Creation Masters in the Seven States of Darkness, putting it a level above the Startling Lines Continent.

The hem of Su Yiren's pink skirt was embedded with many small purple crystals. There was also a charming layer of mesh under the skirt that sparkled with faint starlight. It was clear that this skirt had been woven out of silk from the Star Net Purple Silkworm.

The gold-robed man did not even know what material the necklace around her neck was made of. However, he had a good look at the large spiritual-type law crystal at the center of the necklace. There were three golden slashes on the stone and it was clear that it was a completed Myth III law crystal.

Such a precious item could not even be found in the Jin family's treasure vault.

Yet the woman who walked through the door was using it as a decorative item. How lavish!

When the gold-robed man started to wonder if this woman was the true owner of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, she curtsied to Lin Yuan and said, "Young Master, sorry to make you wait. I'm a little late!"

Su Yiren's words blew the gold-robed man's mind. This woman dressed so opulently and seemed to have features that were hand-carved by the gods actually turned out to be the young man's attendant.

From the way she was dressed, she clearly did not value rare spiritual ingredients.

If the completed Myth III spiritual-type law crystal was given to a spiritual-type pinnacle Myth III fey, it might evolve directly to Creation Breed.

Su Yiren could tell that the gold-robed man had picked up on how beneficial it was to be Lin Yuan's subordinate.

Previously, the main emotion that the gold-robed man felt was fear. But now, he felt eagerness and greed.

Lin Yuan said to Su Yiren, "Yiren, you go and question. Interrogate him until he has nothing more to offer. Then, verify if his answers are true."

While Su Yiren was rushing here, Lin Yuan told her about the situation through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

A task that came from Lin Yuan was not a small matter to Su Yiren. She immediately started to interrogate the gold-robed man.

Lin Yuan and Liu Jie sat and listened to the question-and-answer session between the gold-robed man and Su Yiren.

Su Yiren started out with simple questions that were easy for the gold-robed man to reply.

But suddenly, she changed her tone and said, "Who is supporting the Jin family?"

Su Yiren's question took the gold-robed man off guard and the answer stopped short at the tip of his tongue.

The gold-robed man instinctively glanced at Lin Yuan and Su Yiren's eyes and noticed that they were looking at him with amusement.

The gold-robed man had been prepared so he gnashed his teeth and sold out who was supporting the Jin family.

"There is indeed an organization supporting the Jin family. Rather, all the secret aristocratic families have the same pillar of support. This pillar of support is called the Truth Association. I don't know much about the Truth Association. Even my brother, the leader of the Jin family, doesn't have the authority to join in. Only the leaders of the first four secret aristocratic families are allowed to join the Truth Association's meetings. There are many secret elite families who were killed because they voiced disagreement with the Truth Association's plans."

The gold-robed man's answer caused Lin Yuan and Su Yiren's expressions to turn stern.

Lin Yuan had not learned about the Truth Association when he was gathering information on the Great Lush Federation.

It was true that the Great Lush Federation started out with four secret aristocratic families. They were known as the veteran aristocratic families.

Later, pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters came out from these four families and as time passed, they accumulated more resources than the other elite families. Later, they formed what was currently known as the four secret rising aristocratic families.

The Jin family was one of the four secret rising aristocratic families.

Neither Lin Yuan nor Su Yiren questioned the legitimacy of what the gold-robed man said because the truth would be proven soon.

Su Yiren went on to ask, "What did the Truth Association tell you to do?"

The gold-robed man had already gone past the point of no return and did not think before he answered Su Yiren's question and spilled the beans, "The Truth Association gave two main tasks. First, to search for various types of law crystals. Second, to create chaos in the Startling Lines Continent within four months. Two months have passed since they gave their order. We are the ones behind the deaths of all the robber groups. Half of the robber groups were disguised residents of the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation. Normally, after such a colossal event, the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation's imperial courts should have already retaliated. But for some reason, both of them have been silent. It's as though they purposely want to keep the matter quiet. The Sacred Wood Mystic Realm will be opening in a little over a week. Yet, nothing seems to be happening in the Iron Hammer Federation. It's almost winter in the Iron Hammer Federation and they urgently need to stock up on food. After the death of so many robber groups, it goes without saying that the Iron Hammer Federation will have to go hungry this year. Although many of our chambers of commerce have established themselves in the Iron Hammer Federation, they have already bought up all the fur, food, and liquor they could. Thus, resources have never been scarcer in the Iron Hammer Federation. In two weeks, the Iron Hammer Federation will be in deep trouble."

The gold-robed man's words allowed Lin Yuan to understand the deviousness of the plan that the Great Lush Federation had.

It also made him curious about what had happened with the Iron Hammer Federation's internal affairs. Why had their imperial court still not made a move yet when something so serious happened and they were on the cusp of starvation?

1900 Lin Yuan's Plan for the Iron Hammer Federation!

Although Lin Yuan wanted to shake up the Startling Lines Continent, he never thought about doing it through evil means.

However, the Truth Association had the same goal as Lin Yuan.

It was likely that the Iron Hammer Federation needed a powerful ally now.

The gold-robed man had already spilled all the beans he possessed.

At this moment, a beautiful pink and purple flower appeared in Su Yiren's hand.

The gold-robed man's heart was instantly lost to the Absolute Love Poppy.

Su Yiren asked all the questions to the gold-robed man again, and he replied in a dreamy state. Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

Lin Yuan and Su Yiren nodded at the gold-robed man when they heard his responses, as they verified that he had been telling the truth.

Su Yiren stored the Absolute Love Poppy away, and the man snapped out of his trance.

The gold-robed man had no idea what had just happened. Just as he was about to declare that he had already revealed all that he knew, Lin Yuan said, "You replied well. Your name is Jin Qianxun, right? I'll give you a chance to gather information for me in the Great Lush Federation.

"I don't need you to swear on your law world to me. Every time you provide me with information about the Great Lush Federation, I will give you a pair of the Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts. You can use the pair of Item-Storing Walnuts to trade for resources.

"Additionally, you said that you've seen a weapon with a similar aura as my waist adornment and long flute. When you return to the four veteran aristocratic secret families, gather information regarding this for me. This is your reward for today's honesty."

Lin Yuan tossed the pair of Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts at Jin Qianxun.

After careful consideration, he decided not to order Jin Qianxun to swear on his law world.

Since precious instruments existed in the four veteran secret aristocratic families, it was likely that there was a Class 5 Creation Master in the Truth Association.

The Moon Empress had told Lin Yuan that Class 5 Creation Masters had special methods to sense if spirit qi professionals had sworn away their loyalty. To prevent Class 5 Creation Masters from noticing the oath, the person who swore their loyalty had to at least have the same amount of power as a Class 5 Creation Master.

In order to be a Class 5 Creation Master, one had to be Immortal at least.

If Jin Qianxun swore his loyalty to Lin Yuan, he would be investigated by the Truth Association when he returned to the Great Lush Federation.

Jin Qianxun looked delighted when he caught the pair of Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts.

He just needed to go to Sacred Forest City, and the pair of Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts would fetch at least 80 million Great Lush dollars worth of resources.

Jin Qianxun was not a Creation Master. In order to receive such a large amount of resources, he would have to sweep and gather resources from Class 3 dimensional rifts for at least four months.

If he had managed to receive such benefits just from answering questions, he would make sure to bring back as much information as he could from now on to obtain even more rewards from Lin Yuan.

With such a mountain of resources, it would not matter, even if he betrayed the Jin family and the Great Lush Federation.

Lin Yuan could not read Jin Qianxun's mind. He could not care less about what Jin Qianxun was thinking.

If something truly happened to Jin Qianxun when he returned to the Great Lush Federation, Lin Yuan would not be negatively impacted in any way. He would also not have to be worried about the Truth Association finding out about his existence.

Since Lin Yuan had come to the Startling Lines Continent to train, it was only natural that he would clash against the Truth Association.

Soon after Jin Qianxun left, Ding Chengshuo slinked into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce's tree castle and asked to meet with Lin Yuan.

After meeting with Ding Chengshuo, Lin Yuan and Ding Chengshuo agreed to head to Sacred Forest City together four days later.

Lin Yuan also gave a package of resources to Ding Chengshuo that he could use to expand the Ding family. This was Lin Yuan's reward to Ding Chengshuo for supporting the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

After Ding Chengshuo received the resources, he not only felt loyal to Lin Yuan but was also extremely zealous. He even took the initiative to tell Lin Yuan about Sacred Forest City.

However, Ding Chengshuo did not know much about the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm and could not provide Lin Yuan with much information.

Once he returned to the underground palace, Lin Yuan saw Ta Lei pacing in front of the entrance as though he was waiting for someone.

When Ta Lei spotted him, he happily greeted him. This was when Lin Yuan knew that Ta Lei had been waiting for him.

Since Ta Lei had been acknowledged by the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court as a Class 1 Creation Master, he should have guards protecting him.

Su Yiren said that Ta Lei rarely spent time in the underground palace during the day. So why was he here in the day?

Before Lin Yuan could ask, Su Yiren took off Ta Lei's wool hat and asked, "Are you going to come here every day now that Leo is here? Aren't you afraid that your bodyguards from the imperial court will follow you here? I've already used the Absolute Love Poppy on your guards thrice. If I use it on them anymore, they might never snap out of their infatuated trance. How will you answer to the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court then?"

Ta Lei felt slightly hurt when he heard what Su Yiren said, and he hastily said, "Sister Yiren, when you went with Master to Oak City, my guards suddenly received word from the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court to leave me and return to the imperial court. They seemed to be in a big rush, but I don't know what the reason is."

Lin Yuan and Su Yiren looked at each other.

Apparently, something had indeed happened within the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court.

The Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court always prioritized the protection of their Creation Masters. Young Class 1 Creation Masters like Ta Lei were treasures to the Iron Hammer Fedeation's imperial court. This was why they sent a king-class expert to always protect Ta Lei.

Something catastrophic must have happened to warrant the Class 5 Creation Master recalling their guards and leaving their precious Creation Masters in the lurch.

If Ding Chengshuo was not going to take him to the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm in three days, Lin Yuan would have taken Ta Lei with him to the Iron Hammer Federation to see what had happened.

At this moment, a thought suddenly came to Lin Yuan as he said to Ta Lei and Su Yiren, "Spread the news that Ta Lei's Master, a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, has come to his territory and intends to stay there for some time."
