Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

If Bei Xu gave out information, the other party would immediately begin verifying it. Once he revealed what he knew, he would lose his value and be killed!

There was no way that the other side would use someone who had lost his left hand. Firstly, there were many things that one could not do without a left hand. Additionally, they were the ones who had broken his hand, so they would be worried that he would seek revenge against them. No one was willing to keep a possible bomb by their side!

Those behind the butler lifted Bei Xu and the rest as though they were spoils of a hunt. They intended to haul them onto the back of the giant mouse without caring that its fur was akin to needles.

But once they started to move, the butler forcefully slapped their necks.

"Idiots! Stop their bleeding first! Are you trying to turn them into pincushions by just throwing them up onto the Long Awl Mouse's fur? Don't you know that the master wants us to bring them back alive?"

The man the butler had slapped immediately hung his head and thought nervously, I really didn't stop to think that the Long Awl Mouse's Fur would pierce through these people.

This man who worked under the butler had become accustomed to killing and cleaning up corpses and did not know how to hold back. Moreover, he had not even sensed that the butler wanted to leave anyone alive.

If the butler really wanted to leave them alive, why break their hands?

Now, he wanted him to stop their bleeding!

In the Grotto Continent, there were three ways to stop bleeding.

The first way was to use healing-type feys. Healing-type feys were usually wood- and water-type, which were very rare in the Grotto Continent.

The butler did not have any spirit qi professionals by his side who had contracted such feys.

The second way was to use numbing leaves and materials to wrap the wounded area. Alternatively, the wings of certain insect-species feys or tendons of certain sawtooth-type feys could be tailored into wrappable strips. Both of these types of materials were very rare in the Grotto Continent.

Green plants were practically nonexistent in the Grotto Continent's environment. The daytime was much too short, so only fungus-type lifeforms that liked dark environments thrived in such an environment.

The man would have to handle the healing of Bei Xu and the rest all on his own. There was no way that the butler was going to contribute!

Hence, the man decided to go with the third way.

He smeared a blackish-brown powder onto the wounds of Bei Xu and the rest. Once the powder made contact with the blood, it immediately turned sticky and sealed up the wounds.

The powder came from a mineral called the Blood Coagulating Rock. It was produced after the Blood Coagulating Rock was burned to change from its original dark red to blackish brown and then crushed.

The Blood Coagulating Rock was easily found in the Grotto Continent, albeit it was cumbersome to burn it. Thus, the powder made from the Blood Coagulating Rock was the most popular way of stemming one's bleeding.

However this method might be cheap and efficient, but it would also contaminate the wound. Those who had financial means would not choose this method of healing wounds.

However, this man would not consider this aspect at all. All he cared about was that Bei Xu and the rest made it back alive to see their master!

After all, the man believed that Bei Xu and the rest would soon end up dead!

Bei Xu had been happy, thinking he could last for a day and a half.

But he suddenly remembered that if he was captured and brought back to the city, the Astronomical Parliament would deliver the item to him, which would cause the tunnel to open up right where he was.

Would he cause Lin Yuan to befall danger by bringing him into such a situation?

Bei Xu did not know just how strong the factions in the city were. He also did not have a clear understanding of Lin Yuan's power.

Regardless, he did not want to put Lin Yuan in danger because of him.

Bei Xu decided to tell Lin Yuan about this during the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

To Bei Xu, Lin Yuan's safety was much more important than his own life.

While the Long Awl Mouse was dragging Bei Xu and the rest back to the city, Lin Yuan received another message from the Moon Empress.

[Moon Empress]: Tower Canon's Eighth Page Apoptosis has contacted the Radiance Federation and requested our protection. What do you make of this matter?

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow when he read this message.

The Eight Pages of Tower Canon never got along with the Radiance Federation, and both sides always saw each other as enemies.

Eighth Page Apoptosis could only be contacting the Radiance Federation and asking for their protection now because his safety was being threatened, and he was just flailing around.

Nonetheless, this was the best choice for Eighth Page Apoptosis.

Even if Eighth Page Apoptosis was nothing more than a puppet for whoever was the mastermind behind Tower Canon, he would have knowledge of many of Tower Canon's key secrets.

The Radiance Federation did not have a deep understanding of Tower Canon. It would be beneficial to them if they could gain an understanding of Tower Canon.

Their side would have to take on Tower Canon in the near future.

[Lin Yuan]: Master, I think we should learn about Tower Canon from Eighth Page Apoptosis. We should carefully consider this matter of him trying to seek help and protection from us.

Lin Yuan did not reject the plea and told the Moon Empress about his decision.

It was said that one had to know one's enemy in order to ensure victory. However, Lin Yuan did not know much about Tower Canon.

Tower Canon was shrouded in far too much mystery. The Eight Pages were not only quickly replaced after they were killed but were also under the threat of death.

Lin Yuan felt that he would at least be able to find out about the Sleeper's Revival from Eighth Page Apoptosis. As someone who was directly involved, Eighth Page Apoptosis would definitely be able to find out more than Lin Yuan could!

Lin Yuan also wanted to ask Eight Page Apoptosis about the highly likely existence of the sixth dimensional world, the dead world.

He was the Radiance Federation's key secret.

Once he returned to the Radiance Federation, he would be able to keep Eighth Page Apoptosis with him and order Eternal Source to watch him to ensure that Eighth Page Apoptosis did not cause any trouble. Even if he managed to catch wind of any information, he could not send it out!

When the Moon Empress saw that Lin Yuan had made his decision, she decided not to hold another imperial meeting.

Instead, she prepared herself to agree to Eighth Page Apoptosis' request for protection.

Eighth Page Apoptosis showed his face the least amongst the Eight Pages of Tower Canon. He was also an extremely powerful Creation Master who had likely exceeded the level of Class 5 Creation Master.

If the Radiance Federation provided Eighth Page Apoptosis with protection, he would also have to do something for the Radiance Federation in return.
