Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 762 - Initiating Friendship
After Lin Yuan’s status was revealed, Li Xuan knew that he would instruct someone from Dark Clouds Bird Shrine to pack up the weird Source Seed and send it to Lin Yuan.
He could not help but feel slightly sour over this. He knew that he could not get around to doing this.
Li Xuan was a smart person and knew what the consequences of him opposing this action would be.
Regardless of whether Lin Yuan would have an adverse reaction to his rejection, Lan Qin was never going to allow him to take this specimen out of the Royal Capital’s Fey Observer Association.
But because he could not say no, Li Xuan felt that Lin Yuan was essentially robbing their Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
Lin Yuan was currently reminiscing with Long Tao.
When they were done reminiscing, Lin Yuan quickly walked up to Li Xuan as he thought about what would be the best thing to give Li Xuan in exchange for the Source Seed.
Lin Yuan was not a bully.
After becoming the Moon Empress’ disciple, Lin Yuan only relied on hard work to increase his power and expand Sky City.
During this process, he had kept his identity as the Moon Empress’ disciple a secret.
If not for how important the Source Seed was to Red Thorn’s evolution, Lin Yuan would not have thought of using his identity as the Moon Empress’s disciple.
Back when he had just become a spirit qi professional and first logged onto Star Web, he had been 1.78 meters tall. Later, he grew to 1.79 meters.
He had logged into Star Web’s Celestial Stairway to battle and refreshed his identity card during the new year.
The new identity card revealed to Lin Yuan that he had grown to 1.80 meters.
Li Xuan was 1.88 meters tall and obviously towered over Lin Yuan.
But as he watched Lin Yuan walk over to him, Li Xuan could not help but feel a sense of pressure.
The young man stopped in front of Li Xuan, and his hand trembled.
A moment later, a strange plant appeared in the young man’s hand.
There was a small golden bean growing atop the plant. The small golden bean was shining gold and had several pink lines running around it, making it look bouncy and cute.
When Lin Yuan took out the strange golden plant, the Class 3 Creation Master Long Tao and Class 5 Fey Observer Master Lan Qin inhaled sharply.
Li Xuan was neither a Creation Master nor a Fey Observer and did not know what the strange plant was.
Lin Yuan said in a warm and crisp voice, “I apologize for needing you to pick out something from a pile that has already been packed, but the Source Seed is really important to me. This is a Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl that was mutated from a Flower Brocade Pearl.
“The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl’s leaves are three times more effective than that of the Flower Brocade Pearl. Moreover, the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl can increase the effectiveness of spirit fluids by improving the homogenization of spiritual ingredients. It is also very mild-natured and can be used in conjunction with other support-type Creation Master spiritual ingredients, including the Flower Brocade Pearl.
“I would like to use this Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl to exchange for the Source Seed. Is this acceptable to you?”
Li Xuan immediately replied, “No problem. I’ll go and check which fey storage box the Source Seed is in now.”
Li Xuan had always been more partial to coaxing than brute force.
If Lin Yuan had tried to force Li Xuan to snatch the Source Seed away, Li Xuan would have suppressed his anger but bear the grudge forever.
Although the other party was clearly capable of trying to force him using brute force, he had offered an explanation and apologized instead.
The way that Lin Yuan had asked if it would be acceptable to Li Xuan now made the situation seem more like Lin Yuan needed Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s help instead of trying to snatch something from them.
This not only protected Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s reputation but also stroked Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s ego as the Moon Empress’ disciple had taken the initiative to ask them for help.
Naturally, Li Xuan was going to help the Moon Empress’ disciple.
Li Xuan did not know what the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl was.
However, it was not only three times better than the Flower Brocade Pearl and could improve the homogenization of spiritual ingredients, but it was also able to be used in conjunction with other support-type Creation Master spiritual ingredients. This was enough for Li Xuan to trade for the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl without hesitation.
Dark Clouds Bird Shrine needed a large amount of Creation Master resources to nurture avian-type feys. They even needed high-class Creation Master resources in order to nurture rare avian-type feys.
High-class Creation Master resources were a faction’s most precious resource and were always regarded as necessary costs.
Since the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl could be used in conjunction with other support-type spiritual ingredients, it would lower the difficulty of concocting high-grade spirit fluids. This would increase the rate at which Creation Masters could concoct spirit fluids.
As such, the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl would increase Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s Creation Master resources and raise its productivity.
Lin Yuan smiled at Li Xuan, who was carefully checking through the fey storage boxes for the Source Seed.
He had enough experience to know how to not easily start grudges with others.
After running Sky City for so long, he was well aware that connections were important to a faction. Hence, he took care to establish as many connections as he could.
Rather than using his status to snatch the Source Seed from Li Xuan, it was better to strike a deal with him and improve Sky City’s network in the process.
Although Lin Yuan did not start off with the plan to trade for the Source Seed with the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl, Master Hong Shen had accidentally discovered that the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl could be used with other support-type Creation Master resources.
This accidental discovery raised the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl’s value and allowed Lin Yuan to gain more leverage when he was trading the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.
It could be said that the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl was a resource that would benefit a faction’s Creation Master resources.
When a faction gained many Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, it would affect the direction and strategy of the major factions.
Lin Yuan’s method of trading the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls would not result in them landing in the hands of his enemy factions.
Frankly, something like the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl that could benefit a faction’s Creation Master resources in multiple ways was the perfect blow to enemy factions.
