Chapter 108: Sudden Ambush
The violent-tempered woman’s daughter was in a daze. She activated her spiritual energy, and the Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum was withdrawn back into her spiritual spatial zone without any obstruction. She was first pleasantly surprised but immediately widened her mouth in shock. “My Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum should be Bronze, but it is now Silver!”
Lin Yuan nodded. “This Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum has good potential. Its silver-grade ability has quite a good lethality, and when used together with the other abilities, it gives an overall boost. Next time, if you meet a Horn Demon again, your fey won’t suffer damage to its roots.”
The violent-tempered woman quickly bowed to Lin Yuan and constantly thanked him. She then took out the Revival Soil that she had prepared but was a little hesitant. “Master, previously, our agreement was 500 grams of Revival Soil. I have obtained more, and this bag has 600 grams. However, I didn’t prepare the fee for the evolution from Bronze to Silver. I wonder if you can spare me a few days...”
Lin Yuan took the Revival Soil and shook his hand. “100 grams of extra Revival Soil is enough for the compensation. Furthermore, I am the one that decided to evolve the Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum to Silver and didn’t ask for your opinions. As such, I don’t need extra compensation.”
This bag of Revival Soil wasn’t cheap, and because of the great benefits it had for plant-type feys, its price wasn’t any lower than gold-grade dragon beast blood. A bag of Revival Soil at 600 grams would probably require close to 300 Radiance dollars. This price might still be relatively lower for other Creation Masters to heal a Bronze fey’s roots, but it wasn’t ridiculously cheaper. Moreover, the violent-tempered woman must have used quite the effort to find this bag of Revival Soil.
After speaking, Lin Yuan didn’t give the violent-tempered woman and her daughter any chance to thank him as he took the Revival Soil and left the breeding room.
The violent-tempered woman’s daughter was completely engrossed in the joy of her fey’s recovery and evolution, but the violent-tempered woman’s eyes were moist again.
Living in the Royal Capital might look to be glamorous, but how could anyone know of the pressure and sorrow of an ordinary woman who had to support her daughter? After experiencing a harsh and cold of life, the violent-tempered woman had put on a mask. It was a hard mask to protect the soft insides.
But now, she felt a warm light that was peaceful and powerful. A young and talented Creation Master was actually so kind in nature. It was extremely praiseworthy.
When Lin Yuan left the Royal Capital’s Creation Master a.s.sociation and took just a few steps, someone called him from behind. Lin Yuan turned around and noticed that it was Elder Du that called him.
Elder Du was walking over quickly and laughed heartily as he said, “Leaving so soon? This card is for you. The next time you revisit the Royal Capital’s Creation Master a.s.sociation, you can just present this card to the main hall’s attendant, and they will bring you to see me. In the future, I will help you to handle anything you require.”
Lin Yuan received the card from Elder Du. Since it was a gift from an elder, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn’t refuse. However, Lin Yuan didn’t plan to return to the Royal Capital’s Creation Master a.s.sociation.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan still said, “I have troubled Elder Du. Elder Du is busy during normal times, so this junior naturally wouldn’t dare to disturb you.”
Elder Du looked at Lin Yuan, and his smile got brighter. Since Lin Yuan had helped him out at the Radiant Moon Palace, coupled with Lin Yuan’s calm and composed att.i.tude and his talent to directly pa.s.s the Cla.s.s 2 Creation Master exam, these factors caused Elder Du to admire Lin Yuan even more.
Elder Du involuntarily made a comparison with Cheng Rui and felt that Cheng Rui was utterly inferior. Upon recalling that he had personally conferred the t.i.tle of ‘Tribunal Sun’ to Cheng Rui, Elder Du felt a burning pain on his face.
After bidding goodbye to Elder Du, Lin Yuan looked at the time and noticed that it was only 10:00 in the morning. His appointment with Liu Jie was at 15:00, and there were still five hours in between.
Lin Yuan didn’t have any other arrangements, so he contacted Liu Jie. After calling him, Liu Jie informed Lin Yuan that he was currently viewing a house in the suburban area. The houses in the suburban areas were relatively secluded, but their environment was superior.
Instead of saying that it was a house, it was actually a plot of land that took up 5,000 square meters. Beside the land was a small, man-made lake, and the lakewater was from the spring water up the mountain.
The surrounding greenery was rather good too, and it was truly a place with great scenery. However, it was rather secluded, so the large piece of land’s price wasn’t considered too expensive.
As such, Lin Yuan decided to meet Liu Jie in advance to see what the land looked like. After asking for the location, Lin Yuan called for special transportation that was exclusive to the Royal Capital, the Wind Travel Pigeon.
The Wind Travel Pigeon was the Royal Capital’s exclusive flying fey, and it was extremely hard to train. A special Wind Travel Pigeon trainer was required, and the Wind Travel Pigeon would only be able to transport customers after two years of training.
The Wind Travel Pigeon was an extremely popular flying fey in the Royal Capital, and its unique point was that it didn’t need anyone to control it. The trainer simply had to tell the Wind Travel Pigeon to fetch the customer from a certain place to a certain destination.
The Wind Travel Pigeon had evolved from the messenger pigeons after the Spirit Qi Awakening, and it was a Silver fey. The flying speed wasn’t considered fast, but the price wasn’t low either. A single return trip would cost 0.5 Radiance dollars.
Since Lin Yuan was at the Royal Capital, he should try all its specialties. Everyone said that a Wind Travel Pigeon’s back was more comfortable than the softest bed.
Lin Yuan only waited for a moment, and a white pigeon with a three-meter wingspan stopped beside him. Lin Yuan walked over and showed the order on his mobile phone to the Wind Travel Pigeon. The Wind Travel Pigeon then shook its wing and placed it on the ground as an indication for Lin Yuan to get onto its back by stepping on its wing.
When Lin Yuan was riding on the Wind Travel Pigeon’s back, he felt that its feathers were soft and silky. It didn’t feel like a regular feather and was more like top-grade silk.
The Wind Travel Pigeon didn’t fly high nor fast, but the speed was at least five times faster than the Speed-Hoofed Donkey Car. Another unique trait of the Wind Travel Pigeon was that0 the travelers could view the scenery. The objective might be for travel, but the customers on its back were able to admire the Royal Capital’s beautiful view.
As soon as they flew out of the Royal Capital’s city area, they arrived at the northern suburban area. Taking reference to the distance and the Wind Travel Pigeon’s speed, Lin Yuan estimated that he would need around 10 minutes to reach the arranged location he was going to meet with Liu Jie.
Lin Yuan was looking at the scenery of the suburban area. The Wind Travel Pigeon was flying around 25 meters in alt.i.tude, while some of the canopy plants like the willow trees were able to reach a height of 20 meters. When flying at a low alt.i.tude, Lin Yuan’s breaths were filled with plant fragrance.
At that moment, the Wind Travel Pigeon suddenly let out two intense cooing sounds.
Immediately after, Lin Yuan noticed a gray energy beam hitting the Wind Travel Pigeon’s wings’ left side. The impact of the energy beam was extremely powerful, and even Lin Yuan could feel the pressure. The left half of the Wind Travel Pigeon’s body was blasted open with a wound and a burst of blood mist!
