Chapter 729: The Indigo Azure Guard’s Order
Duan He raised the brocade pouches and said, “There are 60 Law Source Crystals in each brocade pouch, making a total of 120 Law Source Crystals. The Indigo Azure Guard Captain also sent 40 feys which I brought along with me too. After I give these to you, I have to rush back to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Purple Demon and Endless Summer are guarding that place. The three of us blazed through the Zheng family’s faction, including two other businesses and one team of soldiers.”
Lin Yuan received the fey storage boxes and brocade pouches from Duan He.
Lin Yuan was the one who had ordered Endless Summer and Duan He to destroy all the Zheng family’s businesses in the Royal Capital.
By giving them a taste of their own medicine, it was exacting revenge for the spirit qi professionals who had died at the hands of the Zheng family at the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
Neither the Miao family nor the Zheng family’s factions were in the Royal Capital. The Royal Capital was Lin Yuan’s territory.
Since Lin Yuan was destined to collide momentously with the Zheng family, he needed to eradicate the enemy’s vestiges within his territory before the official war broke out.
If the Miao family joined it, when Endless Summer evolved to Creation Breed, Lin Yuan would order it to get rid of their influence in the Royal Capital as well.
Lin Yuan had not asked Endless Summer to attack the Miao family’s faction now because he was unsure if their businesses in the Royal Capital had any strong members.
Thus, he would not ask Endless Summer to risk its life under such uncertain circ.u.mstances.
The old Lin Yuan had taken a more pa.s.sive approach. But after the two attacks that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce experienced, Lin Yuan’s mindset had changed.
He felt that being pa.s.sive would just result in being taken advantage of. One needed to strike out with immense strength when the situation called for it.
After all, the fights between factions were usually to the death. They should not be treated lightly.
Lin Yuan had received an unexpected surprise in the form of the 120 Law Source Crystals and 40 feys that Duan He had brought him.
Ever since Lin Yuan had tasked Duan He with gathering Law Source Crystals, the latter only ever managed to collect two or three at a time. This was the first time he had managed to collect so many.
The major factions were definitely not the ones who possessed the most Law Source Crystals. Instead, it was the 36 major cities that had the most, especially the Guard Captains in the main cities who were in charge of cleaning up after the dimensional rifts. They had the highest chance of collecting a large number of Law Source Crystals.
The major cities had probably collected an unimaginable number of Law Source Crystals, which only had symbolic functions over the last hundred years.
However, Lin Yuan was not acquainted with the Guard Captains of the major cities.
Since Duan He had helped the Indigo Azure Guards in the past, he should be connected to the Indigo Azure Guard Captain. Otherwise, he would not have been able to talk business with a government official.
The major factions, especially the top factions, were not usually willing to trade for Law Source Crystals because they did not need money, but the Indigo Azure Guard was different.
If the Law Source Crystals that collected dust in storage could be turned into Bronze/Epic feys, not only would the Indigo Azure Guard’s power increase, but they could also be given out as rewards to raise motivation.
Lin Yuan was also trading for Law Source Crystals with Condense Fairy Orchard and Sea Bliss Clan. However, the deal was one Bronze/Epic fey for one Law Source Crystal.
On the other hand, the Indigo Azure Guard Captain was offering a price that was three times better than what Lin Yuan was obtaining from Condense Fairy Orchard and Sea Bliss Clan. In other words, the Indigo Azure Guard Captain was offering three times the price of what Lin Yuan was expecting.
If he could trade with the Indigo Azure Guard Captain for a long time, he would be able to acc.u.mulate law power and Law Crystals at triple his current rate.
The issue of the Mother of Bloodbath’s requirement of double the amount of law power would also be solved.
“Senior Duan He, did the Indigo Azure Guard Captain set a date for the trade?”
Duan He replied with slight embarra.s.sment, “He doesn’t completely believe me. But I do have a decent reputation after all my years in Indigo Azure City. Moreover, I told him about how Purple Demon managed to evolve to Myth II. It was only then that he agreed to hand over the Law Source Crystals first. However, he said that he hopes to be able to get his hands on the Bronze/Epic feys in the next two months before the dimensional rift closes so they can be used to buffer some of the Indigo Azure Guard’s workload in cleaning up after the dimensional rift.”
Duan He was slightly annoyed at this.
It’s clearly bullying!
There were less than four months until the dimensional rift’s active period.
It was too much of a rush to be able to fulfill the order of four Bronze/Epic feys in the span of less than a month.
Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback by what Duan He had said.
He smiled and replied, “Senior Duan He, I’ll have to trouble you to run an errand for me in two days. Please help me to give this batch of Epic quality feys to the Indigo Azure Guard Captain and tell him that I’m very much looking forward to working with him again.”
Duan He wondered if he had misheard. He felt that Lin Yuan talked about evolving Bronze/Epic feys as easily as the Purple Demon hit him.
There were countless king-cla.s.s experts who could not even nurture one Bronze/Epic fey.
A thought struck Lin Yuan.
His hand shook, and an enormous ceramic barrel appeared in his hand.
Lin Yuan gave the ceramic barrel to Duan He and said, “Senior Duan He, here is the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish that I promised you.”
Duan He’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
In a few short days, Lin Yuan had been able to evolve the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, which was notoriously harder to evolve than regular feys.
Duan He could not help but feel as though a giant tree was sheltering him.
This feeling was the best!
His heart was refres.h.i.+ng and flying!
With this Spirit-Siphon Goldfish to help the Thunderwave Sky Chaos Snail support Purple Demon, Purple Demon’s endurance would increase, and it would be able to use ma.s.sive explosions freely. It would no longer need to worry about the depletion of its spiritual power.
Duan He felt that if he had this Spirit-Siphon Goldfish previously, he would have been able to save a tidy sum in spite of the enormous expenses incurred by Purple Demon’s nurturing in the dimensional rift.
After Duan He left, Lin Yuan went into his room and entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He took out the 40 feys that needed to be evolved from the fey storage box.
Lin Yuan realized that all 40 feys were exactly the same. All of them were healing-type Hot Spring Slugs.
The Hot Spring Slug was a healing-type fey that could only treat external wounds.
Although its healing powers only had a singular use, its ability to heal flesh wounds was astonis.h.i.+ng.
