Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 540: The Ambition to Swallow Everyone’s Resources

Chapter 540: The Ambition to Swallow Everyone’s Resources

Pan Yue’s heart was full of anger. It happened that Jin Qi had hit the muzzle this time.
She stared at Jin Qi and realized that there was a fair bit of melted dark chocolate smeared at the corners of the latter’s lips.
Pan Yue snorted and said, “Your whole mouth is dirty.”
With that, she turned around and returned to her residence to log onto Star Web and meet with her friends.
Jin Qi really did not understand. She had only asked, “What did you say just now?”
Why did Pan Yue have to say that her whole mouth was dirty?
I wasn’t even scolding you!
Jin Qi was not stubborn, but because she simply hadn’t been able to keep up with Pan Yue’s rhythm, she hadn’t had time to immediately counterattack.
Hence, she could only mess around in the wind by herself.
At that moment, Lin Yuan happened to pass Jin Qi by and saw her in the wind.
He quickly realized who the girl before him was. She had been with Wen Yu when the latter’s source had been damaged and was the spirit attendant who always troubled the latter.
Upon seeing the girl frozen in place, Lin Yuan felt that he should explain what had happened just now.
“She said that your whole mouth was dirty because you had dark chocolate smeared at the corners of your mouth.”
In the darkness, Lin Yuan felt that the dark chocolate at the corners of the girl’s mouth looked like nose hair sticking out of her nostril.
Jin Qi had not expected someone to speak beside her and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
As she glanced over, she immediately bowed.
“Good evening, Master Lin Yuan.”
If Jin Qi had had a lot of other thoughts about Lin Yuan before, then her fear of facing him at this time far outweighed them.
Who knew if Wen Yu had spoken ill of her during the long period she had been with Lin Yuan?
Lin Yuan had always had a bad impression of Jin Qi.
It was not that whatever Jin Qi did was wrong. It was just that some people’s hearts were like flowers and trees when they advanced, growing toward the sun.
Others were like lycoris, growing toward the dark.
Compared to those who grew toward the dark, Lin Yuan undoubtedly viewed the ones that grew toward the sun in a more positive light.
However, even if he didn’t like Jin Qi, he wouldn’t do anything about it.
He nodded at her and walked toward his own pavilion.
Jin Qi quickly let out a breath after seeing Lin Yuan leave. She realized that when Wen Yu had been beside Lin Yuan, Wen Yu hadn’t done anything to her and had even nodded at her.
He held absolutely none of his previous intention of helping Wen Yu recover from her shame.
Jin Qi was a little surprised. Wen Yu had seen her on her return to the Radiant Moon Palace and had also nodded at her without doing anything to her.
With this thought in mind, Jin Qi stood rooted to the spot in the darkness. She felt that she had been too harsh to Wen Yu previously.
That harshness now seemed despicable to Jin Qi.
Jin Qi stood for a long time in the night, staring blankly at a long, slightly bent willow.
Perhaps it was because the new year was coming that a new branch had been drilled out of the bent willow.
This new branch was growing vigorously upward on the curved trunk of the curved willow. It was growing straight as a rod!
Upon returning to his pavilion, Lin Yuan lifted the ban on the hot spring.
Hot spring water immediately filled it.
Lin Yuan soaked quietly in the hot spring, enjoying the rare peace.
Although his private faction, Sky City, had only recently started, it already had a general structure.
In terms of combat power, the Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer possessed emperor-class power. At present, this would be enough to contend with the veteran factions.
In terms of resources, Morbius’ Spirit Lock spatial zone was a treasure house that constantly produced resources.
It was also the base for his operation of Sky City.
In terms of martial force, Lin Yuan had never stopped recruiting people.
He had also wanted to recruit someone like Zhou Luo, who had comprehended many Willpower Runes in the name of his Purchase With No Loss store.
However, this was no easy matter when he did not have king-class experts with powerful main feys.
Finding Zhou Luo had been akin to a blind cat finding a dead mouse.
Moreover, apart from the king-class white-clothed followers who could be recruited, those with greater combat power would be impossible to recruit with the current reputation of Lin Yuan’s private faction.
After all, Sky City hadn’t yet displayed something that was enough to attract pinnacle king-class experts.
To Lin Yuan, operating a private faction was a different path to the same goal. The most important support lay in the accumulation of resources.
He felt that it was time for him to convert Sky City into a formidable business machine.
Using “business” as its operating model, it would swallow all of the other parties’ resources.
Lin Yuan was also under pressure when it came to the collection of resources.
With so many partners and subordinates who had pledged their loyalty to him, he always had to find resources for them as Sky City’s leader.
Besides that, the two Heaven and Earth Feys, the Floating Island Whale and Clouded Crane had not hatched.
Even when the Floating Island Whale absorbed the pure and great spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it always needed to expend qi-type and water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to do so.
However, to Lin Yuan, what cost the most money was not the Floating Island Whale preparing to hatch from the crystal egg.
Instead, it was the question of how to raise the Floating Island Whale after it truly hatched.
In order for it to take to the sky and become a giant beast that could carry a city, then it needed to at least evolve to the Suzerain grade.
The resources that would be depleted in this process would make even the veteran factions feel discouraged.
And for such a high investment in resources, Lin Yuan had to figure out a solution on his own.
Moreover, as a spiritual-type Heaven and Earth Fey, in order to increase the Clouded Crane’s mental strength for its transformed clouds to completely envelop the Floating Island Whale, it needed to feed on enough spiritual-type spiritual ingredients.
It was not only the Heaven and Earth Fey that needed to consume spiritual-type spiritual ingredients.
The Burning Sunflower, the fairy source-type lifeform that Chu Ci was about to contract; Liu Jie’s Insect Queen, and Wen Yu’s Illusory Fox were all spiritual-type feys that consumed spiritual-type spiritual ingredients throughout their growth.
Amongst the spiritual ingredients that Lin Yuan had on hand, spiritual-type ones were the most scarce.
At the same time, they were the rarest of all the spiritual ingredients.
Lin Yuan rose from the hot spring and went ashore to dry his body. He changed into a set of spirit qi clothes that Wen Yu had previously designed.
Even though he had only been on the road for two days, it was as if he had run away.
However, when he had spoken to Listen on the phone in the daytime, Listen had already helped him to inform those in the Purchase With No Loss store’s fan club.
Lin Yuan had already been gone for two days, so he had to abide by tonight’s agreed time.
