Chapter 740: Lin Yuan’s Plan to Reveal His Identity.
Every night, Listen managed an auction in the fan club for a heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl with an outer layer.
Since the highest bidder won, the loot that would be obtained was uncertain.
However, the spiritual ingredients obtained through the auction were sorted by Listen and placed in separate fey storage boxes, which were stored in the mansion’s storeroom on the third floor.
Lin Yuan could no longer depend on the Purchase With No Loss store’s fan club to accumulate spiritual ingredients.
When he understood the information about Condense Fairy Orchard, he knew that they completely relied on him for Creation Master resources.
This gave Lin Yuan the right to approach Sun Ningxiang for spiritual ingredients.
This path made it much easier for Lin Yuan to collect rare resources.
As for compensation, Lin Yuan could repay her with his hard work.
Since he had become a B-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan’s productivity scared even himself.
Lin Yuan had given Hu Quan, and Master Hong Shen, each two brocade boxes of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls for them to use as saw fit.
Now, Lin Yuan took out another two brocade boxes of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, gave them to Hu Quan, and said, “Uncle Hu, there’s a fair number of elemental pearls inside. It should be enough for you to trade for radium at the Spirit Craftsmen Association.”
Lin Yuan felt that the most basic currency of trade was the elemental pearls that were continuously being produced in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
When Hu Quan accepted the elemental pearls, he anxiously stored them away in a Diamond fey storage box.
Although Lin Yuan did not think much of his action of giving Hu Quan the elemental pearls, Hu Quan was always on guard when he received elemental pearls from Lin Yuan.
He always ended up checking the Diamond fey storage box on his ring finger.
He was afraid that it would accidentally fall or become lost at any time.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment before asking, “Uncle Hu, where do you think will have the best foundation to build the basement on?”
Hu Quan replied, “The green mountain behind the mansion is the strongest. Although it’s only about 400 to 500 square meters wide on the surface, it extends for thousands of meters underground.”
Lin Yuan immediately decided on the scale of the basement.
“Uncle Hu, let’s dig 300 meters under the green mountain and set up as many Spatial Magnets and Floating Silver Strands to cover a 300-meter radius. We have to place enough to completely hide the spatial fluctuations.”
When the long-distance spatial teleportation in the form of the Space Tunnel was made, it would definitely result in strong spatial fluctuations. If they did not strictly block the spatial fluctuations, it could be located by spatial-type feys even if the Space Tunnel was built 300 meters deep.
Once Lin Yuan was done giving out instructions, he did not have anything else to add on about the basement’s construction.
When he thought about the scene between Hu Quan and Master Hong Shen he had encountered when he walked into the house, Lin Yuan said to them, “Uncle Hu, the main reason to build the basement is to create an underground base for Sky City, Besides building the Space Tunnel there, one of its main functions would be a breeding ground for Master Hong Shen to produce a large number of Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls. Hence, you will have to listen to some of Master Hong Shen’s suggestions about the basement’s construction.”
Hu Quan nodded to indicate that he understood Lin Yuan’s meaning. He also felt slightly embarrassed when he saw Master Hong Shen’s untidy appearance.
His old temper flared, and he said to Lin Yuan, “Young Master, I contacted many Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen. One of them is Class 2, about to promote to Class 3. In total, there are about 300 of them. I plan on accepting them into the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. After that, I won’t need to recruit any more. I noticed a few good ones in the previous 200. They will likely promote to Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen after some training. They will be able to hold their own once they promote to Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen. When this new batch of Spirit Craftsmens joins, they can join in the construction on Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.”
Hong Shen patted Master Hong Shen’s shoulder and said, “As the younger brother, let me treat you to a meal. Then, I’ll listen to all your requests and suggestions about the breeding base in the basement.”
Master Hong Shen was completely oblivious to Hu Quan’s temper because his own temper was ten times worse when he was disturbed while concocting spirit fluids.
Although Master Hong Shen was slightly confused, he grinned and replied, “Before we eat, take a trip home with me. I have many bottles of alcohol made from spiritual ingredients that I brewed myself. We can drink some.”
Lin Yuan prepared to return to his room as he watched Hu Quan and Master Hong Shen walk out of the mansion like a pair of brothers. This was when he saw the neatly dressed Liu Jie walking down the stairs.
At the sight of Liu Jie, Lin Yuan remembered the Guard Ye Banquet the Moon Empress had mentioned.
Lin Yuan asked Liu Jie, “Big Brother Liu, if in ten days you don’t need to go to Midnight Palace in advance, let’s go to the Guard Ye Banquet together.”
Before leaving the Radiant Moon Palace, the Moon Empress had told Lin Yuan to go to Midnight Palace to attend the Guard Ye Banquet in ten days at 6:00 p.m.
She had intended on going with him.
However, she, Night Leaning Moon, Chef Supreme, Bamboo Monarch, and the other top experts in Radiance Federation needed to go to Midnight Palace one day earlier to discuss and make preparations for The Sleeper’s Revival.
Even if the Moon Empress brought Lin Yuan along with her, he would not be able to participate in the meeting.
As opposed to having Lin Yuan wait a day in Midnight Palace, he might as well come when the Guard Ye Banquet actually started.
Ever since the Moon Empress had accepted Lin Yuan as her disciple, she had not brought him along to any public events.
Now that Night Leaning Moon also had a disciple, she immediately wanted to hold the Guard Ye Banquet to announce the news to the world.
This made the Moon Empress feel that she should also show Lin Yuan off.
However, she knew Lin Yuan was introverted. Otherwise, he would not have separated his combat-class spirit qi professional and Creation Master identities on Star Web.
Moreover, he had even used a mask to further separate his Creation Master identity.
Hence, she had even asked Lin Yuan if he wanted to reveal his identity at the Guard Ye Banquet.
Lin Yuan could tell that the Moon Empress really wanted him to reveal his identity. Thus, he did not want to reject her.
