Chapter 1141 Hu Quan is Sad

Moreover, Lin Yuan realized that Duan He was very homesick to the point that he would make a trip back to Indigo Azure City once every month.

Duan He’s home was in Indigo Azure City. By stationing Duan He at Indigo Azure City to protect the Zheng family, Duan He would be able to go home often and would not need to travel between two places doggedly.

Moreover, Duan He had a good relationship with the Indigo Azure Guard Captain and would be able to deepen the working relationship between Sky City and the Indigo Azure Guard.

After Lin Yuan left, Zheng Kaiyan remained in a daze for some time as he replayed the images from Lin Yuan’s arrival to departure.

He thoroughly went through every detail of the encounter, including how Lin Yuan had subjugated him, Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian, and made the three Creation Masters all clamor to pledge their loyalty to him.

It could be said that Lin Yuan had mastered human nature and the art of manipulation.

Zheng Kaiyan now felt that Lin Yuan’s road would be paved with light no matter where he stepped.

He could not help but sigh in amazement.

Lin Yuan only looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. What background did he have that enabled him to be so outstanding? Could it be that the ability to be outstanding was just his innate quality?

A moment later, Zheng Kaiyan said in the direction of the door, “Take me to the meeting room and call everyone in the manor to meet me there. I want to have a meeting.”

As he spoke, he touched his legs under the blanket and tried to come up with a way to convince Lin Yuan to cure his legs.

Zheng Kaiyan had not fully believed Lin Yuan when he said that he could cure his legs.

But after he saw the bag of law crystals, he now fully believed that Lin Yuan was capable of helping him to regain the ability to stand.

…

When Lin Yuan returned to the mansion, Hu Quan had finally exited his workroom.

Hu Quan’s expression was one of dejection.

Wen Yu was looking at Hu Quan with vexation.

She smiled when she saw Lin Yuan and stood up to ask, “Young Master, are all the matters in Indigo Azure City settled?”

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “Listen can take over all the matters in Indigo Azure City. The Zheng family’s third lineage caused so much pain to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. He should be the one to decide what consequences they should bear.”

Lin Yuan asked the miserable-looking Hu Quan, “Uncle Hu, what’s wrong? Were you unable to make the chain of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls? If so, or if any of the pearls were damaged, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Hu Quan immediately rolled his eyes at Lin Yuan and said, “The heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls you gave me are all priceless treasures. I would never forgive myself if I damaged any of them. I’m a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman. Even if I can’t make anything fancy, I’m still able to string together some pearls.”

He took out a brocade box and gave it to Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan opened the brocade box, he was instantly stunned by the beauty of its contents.

A long chain of exquisite handiwork was inside the brocade box. The jade-textured thread that held the chain together was faintly purple.

The purple was not as brilliant as that of red sandalwood, but it still had a luxurious aura of its own.

The silver thread also had traces of silver that added a lifelikeness to the thread and made it appear as though it was crystallized.

Hu Quan must have used the Wood Weaving House Centipede to weave jade-textured wisteria wood.

Elemental pearls of each of the four elements were strung together to form groups of four, forming a total of 27 groups.

Elemental energy could travel through jade-textured wisteria wood, the most suitable type of wood to be paired with elemental energy.

The heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls’ outer layers depended on their purity.

The 27 groups of elemental pearls strung together looked cohesive, and no particular elemental pearl stood out.

One look, and it would seem as though one had looked at a wisteria tree 107 times and saw a goddess descending the last time.

Lin Yuan now knew that Hu Quan had not failed.

He was well aware of Hu Quan’s skills.

Hu Quan’s skills had improved drastically while he was crafting this string of pearls. This meant that Hu Quan had experienced a breakthrough during the time he closed himself off.

This made Lin Yuan confused. If Hu Quan had succeeded, why did he still look so miserable?

“Uncle Hu, you used jade-textured wisteria wood thread to string these heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls together and accentuated the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls using the Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls. Your Spirit Craftsman skill is getting better with every passing day! Why are you sighing?”

Hu Quan looked hurt as he replied, “How could you not have told me about Sky City’s blood pact ultimate fight? You should have pulled me out! Not even becoming a Class 6 Spirit Craftsman beats participating in Sky City’s blood pact ultimate fight with the rest of you.”

Lin Yuan now knew why Hu Quan looked so downtrodden.

He had not told Hu Quan about the blood pact ultimate fight because Spirit Craftsman relied on a fleeting moment of inspiration to break through to a new level of skill.

Lin Yuan did not want to disturb Hu Quan at such a critical moment.

The blood pact ultimate fight with the Zheng family was basically just a formality as Lin Yuan had absolute confidence that Sky City would win.

Hence, he did not inform Hu Quan of the blood pact ultimate fight.

However, Hu Quan’s reaction meant that he saw himself as a part of Sky City, and he wanted to go through thick and thin with Sky City.

Lin Yuan knew how important Hu Quan’s Spirit Craftsman skill was to him, and he could not help but grin. “Okay. If something like this happens again, I’ll be sure to let you know even if you’re in the midst of another critical moment.”

Hu Quan lowered his head and coughed softly.
