Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 1909 - How Extravagant!

1909 How Extravagant!

Ding Chengshuo could clearly sense how Liu Jie felt about him, but he did not care at all. He continued to act in a friendly manner to Liu Jie while he chatted with Lin Yuan.

Ding Chengshuo took out several fruits that were only found in Oak City and gave them to Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan saw how attentive Ding Chengshuo was being and knew that he was trying to display his loyalty.

Lin Yuan did not need his subordinates to act like obedient puppies that did not have a mind of their own.

!!

The only request Lin Yuan had for Ding Chengshuo was to take him into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm and for him to help ensure that nothing went wrong.

Lin Yuan raised his gaze to Ding Chengshuo.

Ding Chengshuo quickly came up with a piece of flattery and was about to speak, but Lin Yuan spoke first. “Whether things in Sacred Forest City go smoothly will depend on you. Once I leave the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, I will give you a Bronze/Legend fey as well as ten pairs of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts and three pairs of Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts.”

While Lin Yuan spoke, he took out the bracelet that Hu Quan had made as a prototype. The bracelet was made up of 36 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, nine of each type.

Since it was just a prototype, the outer layer of the elemental pearls was only Defined Life.

However, 36 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were enough to stupefy any person from the Divine Wood Federation.

When Ding Chengshuo saw the chain of pearls and thought about the Bronze/Legend feys and high-quality Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts that Lin Yuan promised him, he understood for the first time the terrifying scale of resources that Lin Yuan possessed.

Ding Chengshuo would not have been this shocked if Lin Yuan had only promised him 36 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers.

As he gazed at the chain of 36 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that was held together by a jade-textured wood thread, Ding Chengshuo found it tough to imagine how little regard one had to have for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls which could transform fey bloodlines to use them as accessories. How extravagant!

But at the same time, Ding Chengshuo felt extremely conflicted.

Ding Chengshuo was confident that nothing would go wrong on this trip with Lin Yuan to Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. He guaranteed that he could obtain that chain of pearls.

The water- and earth-type elemental pearls would be extremely useful to him.

But could he bear to break this chain of pearls that was basically an art piece?

Lin Yuan’s promise of such resources to Ding Chengshuo confirmed the latter’s guess.

Lin Yuan knew that promising resources of such a level to Ding Chengshuo would allow Ding Chengshuo to guess his background. Since he still went through with promising such rewards to Ding Chengshuo, it meant that he was not afraid of Ding Chengshuo guessing the truth.

Lin Yuan had seen through what kind of person Ding Chengshuo was.

To someone like Ding Chengshuo, who prioritized his family’s benefits and development, he just had to ensure that Ding Chengshuo’s profits were secured and Ding Chengshuo would hinge the value of his life and family as well as their honor on Lin Yuan while doing his best to serve Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was not going to Sacred Forest City just to enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. He also wanted to interact with the upper echelons of the aristocrats.

Since Ding Chengshuo was the City Lord of Oak City, he would be the best choice to help Lin Yuan get his foot through the door.

After all this time, not a single Class 5 Creation Master had emerged from the Startling Lines Continent. It was time that one did.

There were issues with the Iron Hammer Federation’s internal affairs. If they found out that there was a Class 5 Creation Master in the Divine Wood Federation, the combination of internal and external ails would send the Iron Hammer Federation into a panic.

Once Ta Lei spread the news that his master, who was a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, the Iron Hammer Federation would be exceptionally polite and welcoming toward him.

Lin Yuan felt that the key point to absorbing the riches from the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation would be to trade with both federations.

In places like the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation, where low-class Creation Master families depended on high-class Creation Master families and small tribes depended on large tribes, the small tribes and low-class Creation Master families did not have many resources of their own.

Almost all of the wealth went to the few families in the Divine Wood Federation that had pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters and the Black Gold tribes in the Iron Hammer Federation.

But it went without saying that the imperial courts of the two federations were the ones that truly occupied the top of the pyramids.

If Lin Yuan had the opportunity to trade with the imperial courts of the two federations, he would be able to get his hands on the best resources in the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.

However, given that he was an outsider, the two imperial courts would not only be unwilling to trade with him, but they would even try to find ways to get rid of him.

Hence, he needed to find a suitable identity to assume in order to do business in the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation.

Ding Chengshuo’s eyes were fixed on the chain of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls for some time before he finally tore his gaze away.

He knelt sincerely to Lin Yuan and said, “Lord, I swore my loyalty to you long ago. It’s only right that I do whatever you ask of me. I have a few good friends in Sacred Forest City. It will be easy for us to do most things. If you need, I can introduce you to my entire network in Sacred Forest City!”

Liu Jie scoffed at Ding Chengshuo’s words.

Liu Jie increasingly despised Ding Chengshuo.

It was clear that Ding Chengshuo greatly desired the resources, but he said that he was only doing what he should.

If Lin Yuan decided not to give the resources to Ding Chengshuo, he would probably start crying in front of Lin Yuan.

Previously, Ding Chengshuo had just betrayed the Divine Wood Federation.

As the City Lord of one of the Divine Wood Federation’s large cities, he had become Lin Yuan’s subordinate out of greed.

But now, he was using his network and resources to boost Lin Yuan’s welfare.

Thus, he was not only turning his back on the Divine Wood Federation but was also taking away from the Divine Wood Federation’s profits.

Ding Chengshuo’s actions made Liu Jie see him as one of their own, but Liu Jie increasingly abhorred Ding Chengshuo.

Ding Chengshuo had noticed Liu Jie’s scoff. However, he did not feel ashamed at all in the face of Liu Jie’s clear detest.

Rather, Ding Chengshuo hoped that Lin Yuan and this other outsider would cause large waves in the Divine Wood Federation so that the water would elevate him, the person who Lin Yuan trusted the most in the Divine Wood Federation.
