Chapter 722: Long Time No See, Dimpled Smile
For some reason, Sun Ningxiang felt more and more like Sky City could actually have Cla.s.s 5 Creation Masters.
This meant that Sky City often concocted and stored Grade 4 spirit fluids.
How else could they evolve so many feys so quickly?
Sun Ningxiang was about to try to obtain more details, but before she could, Lin Yuan said, “Among the feys you sent over was the Soldier Ration Radish. I’m very interested in it. I’m wondering if you would be willing to part with it? You can state any price you want for the trade.”
Lin Yuan was trying to come up with a way to obtain the Soldier Ration Radish but did not expect Sun Ningxiang to reject him immediately.
“I’m sorry. I can’t give away the Soldier Ration Radish.”
From Sun Ningxiang’s tone of resolution, Lin Yuan knew that it would be difficult to convince Sun Ningxiang to part with the Soldier Ration Radish.
However, Lin Yuan still wanted to try.
“You mentioned last time that you need Bronze/Legend Muscle Growth Camellia. It’s very rare, but I can give you some Muscle Growth Camellia stems.”
Sun Ningxiang’s breath hitched.
She needed the Bronze/Legend Muscle Growth Camellia to treat her grandmother’s necrotized muscles and alleviate her pain.
She knew that her grandmother’s injuries were too severe. A small number of Muscle Growth Camellia stems could only slow the damage to her grandmother’s muscles.
Moreover, her grandmother had other injuries.
In fact, the necrotized muscles were the lightest of injuries that her grandmother sustained.
However, the Soldier Ration Radish was the Sun family’s hidden power.
The Sun family’s only Soldier Ration Radish had been given to her grandfather by Chef Supreme after helping him with something that almost cost her grandfather’s life.
Her grandfather also had not asked Chef Supreme to evolve any feys for him. It was only then that Chef Supreme gave her grandfather the Soldier Ration Radish.
Hence, Sun Ningxiang would never trade away the Soldier Ration Radish.
Sun Ningxiang rejected Lin Yuan again and said, “I’m really sorry, but I can’t give the Soldier Ration Radish away.”
Lin Yuan was not surprised by Sun Ningxiang’s repeated rejection, but he did not expect her mind to be so unchangeable.
Frankly, Lin Yuan was not desperate for the Soldier Ration Radish.
“Fine, I don’t have to have the Soldier Ration Radish. But the Soldier Ration Radish has three old roots. I want to use the Muscle Growth Camellia’s stems to trade for one of the Soldier Ration Radish’s roots.”
Lin Yuan’s words made Sun Ningxiang frown, and she struggled with the dilemma for some time.
It would cause the Soldier Ration Radish great damage if its old roots were cut off and the old roots could not be regrown.
Even if the old roots could be regrown, the time it would take was unknown.
The Soldier Ration Radish that Chef Supreme had given her grandfather only had one old root. It was only after the Sun family’s decades of nurturing that it had grown the three roots it had today.
Nonetheless, even without the full Muscle Growth Camellia, just some stems could significantly prolong her grandmother’s life.
This could also prolong the Sun family’s survival.
Just as Sun Ningxiang was about to agree, Lin Yuan said, “How about this, Sky City will evolve the Soldier Ration Radish to Legend quality first. I’ll only cut the old roots after.”
Lin Yuan’s words replaced Sun Ningxiang’s hesitant compromise with enthusiastic agreement.
“No problem. If you can evolve the Soldier Ration Radish to Legend quality, I will give you complete Law Crystals as per our previous deal.”
Sun Ningxiang had sent the Soldier Ration Radish to Lin Yuan because she wanted him to evolve it to Epic quality.
She planned on bringing the Soldier Ration Radish back to Condense Fairy Orchard and evolving its grade.
The vines from the Soldier Ration Radish could earn Condense Fairy Orchard a tidy sum that could reinvigorate Condense Fairy Orchard’s drying financial well.
If the Soldier Ration Radish was decayed and buried underground, it would become nutrients that would nourish the soil and improve the growth of other plant-type feys.
However, she did not expect that Lin Yuan was going to evolve the Soldier Ration Radish to Legend quality instead of the promised Epic quality.
This greatly motivated Sun Ningxiang.
The Bronze/Epic Soldier Ration Radish was much weaker than its Bronze/Legend counterpart.
If Lin Yuan could evolve the Soldier Ration Radish to Legend quality, the effects of cutting off its old roots seemed minimal in comparison to the amazing benefits that the Legend-quality Soldier Ration Radish would bring to Condense Fairy Orchard.
If they were lucky, it would only take a few years. If they were unlucky, it would take decades.
There was always a chance for the Soldier Ration Radish to grow more old roots. It would eventually have three old roots again.
But Condense Fairy Orchard might never have the chance to evolve the Soldier Ration Radish to Legend quality again.
Lin Yuan initially intended on evolving the Soldier Ration Radish to Legend quality in exchange for one of its old roots. He was shocked to hear that Sun Ningxiang was still going to give him complete Law Crystals.
This gave Lin Yuan a good impression of Sun Ningxiang.
“If Condense Fairy Orchard has any more feys that need to be evolved, you can send them over. Sky City will complete the transaction at the same speed.”
Lin Yuan hung up the call.
When Sun Ningxiang heard the dial tone, a radiant smile spread across her face.
It was like someone who had lived in darkness for a long time could finally see light.
When Apricot saw Sun Ningxiang’s smile, she was stunned.
Apricot had grown up with Sun Ningxiang. In Apricot’s memories, Sun Ningxiang used to have a constant smile on her face when she was young.
During their childhood, Sun Ningxiang had been smiling sweetly every time Apricot saw her.
Her smiles were even adorned with cheerful dimples.
But ever since trouble had befallen the Sun family, Sun Ningxiang had stopped smiling.
After seeing Sun Ningxiang smile after so many years, Apricot felt like she was dreaming.
Apricot could not help but lament to herself. The direct descendant of a top faction! It’s such an elite status! Yet, her t.i.tle also forces her to undergo unimaginable pressure.
Apricot’s heart ached as she gazed at Sun Ningxiang’s smile.
