Chapter 1438: Impending Clash

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“We currently have over 600 Item-Storing Walnut Trees in our Oak City branch that are over 300 years old, and more than 20 of them are over 500 years old. If these Item-Storing Walnut Trees are evolved to Bronze/Epic, the Item-Storing Walnuts they produce will be 2/5 larger than the Item-Storing Walnuts from trees that are 300 years old.

“Between the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut from a 300-year-old and 500-year-old Item-Storing Walnut Tree, the one from a 500-year-old Item-Storing Walnut Tree will be able to sell for an additional 5,000,000 Great Lush dollars.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.

If he could evolve all the 500-year-old Item-Storing Walnut Trees to Bronze/Epic, he would be able to gain more than 1,200 Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts. With these 1,200 Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts, Lin Yuan would not have to nurture the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut Trees again.

These Item-Storing Walnut Trees would increase Lin Yuan’s store of spatial-type spiritual ingredients.

Just as Elder Duan was about to go and fetch the Item-Storing Walnut Trees for Lin Yuan, someone knocked on the door of the guest room, and the middle-aged man walked in again.

The middle-aged man bowed to Lin Yuan before saying to Li Wan, “President, Ding Chengshuo is here, and he would like to meet with Young Master Lin.”

The middle-aged man’s tone was full of shock.

To his memory, Ding Chengshuo did not even attend the opening of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s Oak City branch. Yet now, he was here to see a young man.

Moreover, Ding Chengshuo had not barged in. Instead, he had told the middle-aged man to go and send word of his arrival. Clearly, Ding Chengshuo was humbling himself.

Li Wan could not decide such a thing herself, so she looked at Lin Yuan for a decision.

Frankly, she did not want Lin Yuan to meet with Ding Chengshuo. If Lin Yuan decided to work with Ding Chengshuo, it would cause him to place less importance on the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

No faction could stand up to the Ding family’s power in Oak City. They could do a lot more for Lin Yuan than the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce could.

Although Lin Yuan knew that Ding Chengshuo would come to see him, he was uninterested in Ding Chengshuo’s visit.

Nonetheless, he had only just arrived in the Divine Wood Federation and started to enact his plans. It would only benefit him in the future if he established a good relationship with Ding Chengshuo, the head of Oak City.

Ding Chengshuo was a Class 4 Creation Master recognized by the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court. He was able to participate in imperial court meetings and was thus considered a government official.

If there was anything in the future that would require Lin Yuan to liaise with the officials in the Divine Wood Federation, it would be much more reliable to go through Ding Chengshuo than Jian Li.

Lin Yuan stood up and said to Li Wan, “President Li Wan, we are done with our discussion. You can just give me the Item-Storing Walnut Trees before I leave. Su Yiren will send you the resources. Since our relationship isn’t to be exposed, why don’t you arrange for a guest room where I can meet with Ding Chengshuo?”

When Lin Yuan stood up, Liu Jie and Ji Feng also rose to their feet.

“Big Brother Liu and Ji Feng, both of you stay here with the children to have more juice. Then, call Mr. Zhao over. Our conflict with the Lu family started with the Sincere Merchant Group, so the Lu family will definitely seek revenge on the Sincere Merchant Group. The person I placed in the Sincere Merchant Group will handle the issue.”

Liu Jie nodded and said, “Young Master, let me handle the Sincere Merchant Group’s matters. You don’t have to worry about it. I think President Li Wan will be more willing to keep the Sincere Merchant Group here to help out with the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce rather than have them run about transporting goods.”

Liu Jie found Li Wan to be untrustworthy. Even if Su Yiren was here to keep watch over Li Wan, it would not prevent Li Wan from having unsavory thoughts.

There were over 100 people in the Sincere Merchant Group, and it was impossible to tell what all of them were thinking. Just because Mr. Zhao felt grateful toward Lin Yuan did not mean that every person in the Sincere Merchant Group felt the same way.

It would be better to position everyone from the Sincere Merchant Group in the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce so both untrustworthy sides could keep each other in check. This was the best way to ensure that no one acted up.

Although Li Wan was conflicted and did not want to take in the people from the Sincere Merchant Group, she had no grounds to say no.

Lin Yuan said to Liu Jie with a smile, “Big Brother Liu, I shall leave the Sincere Merchant Group to you. We will be returning tonight once I’m done with business. For the next month, it’s time for me to lock myself away to train.”

Liu Jie immediately thought about the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection that was going to take place in a month’s time, and his expression turned solemn as he said, “Young Master, there will be many factions gathered at the selection. In such a situation, there will definitely be people trying to pull tricks and schemes. You and Gao Feng will have to handle everything at that time.”

Su Yiren, Li Wan, and Elder Duan did not know what Lin Yuan and Liu Jie were referring to. However, they knew Lin Yuan would leave Oak City tonight.

Li Wan was extremely reluctant to see him leave.

On the other hand, Su Yiren looked forward to it greatly. She had found her hope and was ready to perform with flying colors. Thus, she was very curious to see where Lin Yuan’s base in the Divine Wood Federation was.

Lin Yuan’s expression turned austere when he heard what Liu Jie said. He was fully aware of what Liu Jie was trying to get at.

The Radiance Federation’s royalty had just had a battle of celestial phenomena with the Freedom Federation’s royalty, and they were going to carry out their earth-shattering bet two years later.

Additionally, envoys from the Freedom Federation were going to come and spectate the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

It was possible that the people from the Freedom Federation would not have caused trouble if the clash had not taken place. But since the clash did happen and all bridges between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation had been burned, the envoys from the Freedom Federation were sure to cause trouble during the Radiance Hundred Sequence Selection.

At that point, the slightest friction would impact both federations’ pride.
