As the person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace, Zhan Lu was very clear about the situation of the Shadow Feather Butterfly and the Crystal Splitting Cactus.
Upon seeing that Lin Yuan's gaze had landed on the Crystal Splitting Cactus for a prolonged time, Zhan Lu's expression took on a playful tone, indicating that Lin Yuan had most likely seen through its uniqueness.
Zhan Lu was taken aback. Could Lin Yuan be a Creator? Only Creators possessed the ability to sense feys in such detail. Zhan Lu would not be surprised if Lin Yuan was indeed a Creator.
Those hidden ancient species that had been passed down for countless epochs often liked to carefully nurture members with Creator potential. If Lin Yuan was really a Creator, Zhan Lu would have to explain to him.
"Young Master Lin, this Crystal Cactus has caused our Fortune Treasure Palace a lot of losses!"
Lin Yuan turned to look at Zhan Lu with interest. Zhan Lu continued to explain, "Because of its exclusive skill, Fortune Treasure Palace has always treated this Crystal Splitting Cactus as a foundational treasure. For this reason, we specially arranged two Grade 4 Creators for this Crystal Splitting Cactus.
"Unexpectedly, the Crystal Splitting Cactus doesn't have high requirements for the environment for its exclusive skill, but it needs to absorb pure wood-elemental energy to complete the splitting process. Furthermore, the purity requirement for wood elements is extremely high, and a Grade 4 Creator can't concoct wood-elemental energy with such purity.
"It's really not worthwhile to specially arrange for a Grade 5 Creator to obtain a niche type of elemental energy, like crystal-type elements, considering they can create resources that are far more important than these crystal-type elements. Thus, it rendered the existence of the Crystal Splitting Cactus somewhat awkward.
"However, the Grade 4 Creator from Fortune Treasure Palace had already performed the division on the Crystal Splitting Cactus. Since we can't afford to waste the Crystal Splitting Cactus just like that, we arranged for a Grade 5 Creator to cultivate a Crystal Splitting Cactus. The rest of the Crystal Splitting Cactus' fragments have been disposed of. If you want to trade this Crystal Splitting Cactus, you have to be mentally prepared!"
Under normal circumstances, Zhan Lu should not have used such a tone to convey that Fortune Treasure Palace's trading item on the 14th floor was not good. However, Zhan Lu didn't see the need to conceal the fact that Lin Yuan would have to pay a hefty price for an item with no practical use.
When Lin Yuan heard Zhan Lu's words, he did not express any doubts. There was no need for Zhan Lu to lie to him because his words wouldn't hold up.
As long as he could get the Crystal Splitting Cactus and nurture it, he would be able to see if Zhan Lu had spoken the truth.
Despite the Crystal Splitting Cactus being of little value, according to Zhan Lu, Lin Yuan was still very interested in it. Pure wood-elemental energy might be rare to others, but for Lin Yuan, it was just a matter of using a few Wood-Building Winged Sandflies' cocoons to nurture it.
Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were extremely rare feys in the main world. In Lin Yuan's Spirit Lock spatial zone, they could be used at will.
With these two niche types of elemental energy, Lin Yuan could try to evolve the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bloodline.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Even so, I still like this kind of resource that can produce special energy. Grade 5 Creator resources are precious, but they're not inaccessible.
"I can consider nurturing the Crystal Splitting Cactus. If Fortune Treasure Palace needs crystal-elemental energy in the future, you can contact me. I've traded so many resources from Fortune Treasure Palace, so I won't be stingy."
Lin Yuan was subtly indicating to Zhan Lu that as long as Fortune Treasure Palace continued to trade with him in the future and acted as his channel to obtain resources, then his friendship with Fortune Treasure Palace would last for a long time.
Zhan Lu raised his hand and pointed to a booth in the distance. "Young Master Lin, if you're interested in special types of elemental energy, the Collapsing White Deer over there should meet your requirements. It's a coincidence that this Collapsing White Deer is placed in my exhibition hall.
"Originally, this Collapsing White Deer caught the interest of one of our Creators, who intended to form a contract with it. But later on, that Creator gave up on this Collapsing White Deer due to personal reasons. That's why it has found its way here.
"As opposed to producing destructive elements that contain a single super destructive ability, the Collapsing White Deer's bloodline is very powerful.
"If we want to trace its bloodline, the bloodline of the Collapsing White Deer can be traced back to the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer species that once controlled the White Stone Plateau in ancient times."
Winter's expression shifted subtly when he heard the words 'Sky Shattering Sacred Deer'. He released his aura toward the direction Zhan Lu was pointing at. After feeling it for a while, Winter restrained his aura and did not refute Zhan Lu's words. The change in Winter's expression was so subtle that even Lin Yuan did not notice it.
Lin Yuan was quite interested in the Collapsing White Deer that Zhan Lu had mentioned. However, Lin Yuan was unaware of the legend surrounding the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer.
After Morbius could materialize, its physical body could be detached from its main body. Morbius' main body enveloped Lin Yuan's body while it remained in Sky City, collecting spirit qi crystals for Lin Yuan.
Although the faith country was only in its embryonic form, a large number of holy spirits in the faith country evolved every day. Previously, many lifeforms were not sure if they could withstand the World Cleansing and thus remained stagnant.
Now, when the lifeforms of these faith countries saw that someone was helping them through the World Cleansing, they all chose to increase their grade and quality.
Lin Yuan and Morbius' consciousness bodies were too far apart to communicate, but large amounts of spirit qi crystals were emerging from the Pure Land of Bliss in the Spirit Lock spatial zone at all times.
If the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope did not have many Deposit Vegetable Pods in human form as helpers, it would not be able to count the spirit qi crystals alone. The massive amount of spirit qi crystals allowed Lin Yuan to squander and use them freely.
If Morbius' consciousness was in the state of merging with its main body, it would definitely tell Lin Yuan something about Winter.
Despite Morbius' consciousness not being physically present with Lin Yuan, Winter didn't withhold anything from him.
Winter told Lin Yuan after calming down, "Lord Saint, I hope to nurture this Collapsing White Deer and become its spirit contractor."
Winter's words surprised Lin Yuan. He was aware of how arrogant his four followers were usually. Their arrogance stemmed from his soul, making them look down on every lifeform other than those involved with him.
Lin Yuan was not surprised that Winter could contract a fey. However, Zhan Lu had clearly mentioned that the Collapsing White Deer had been abandoned by a Creator. No matter what the reason was for the abandonment, the fact was that Winter was actually interested in a fey that had been abandoned. This did not match Lin Yuan's understanding of Winter.
Lin Yuan looked up at Winter and heard him say in a reminiscent tone, "Lord Saint, you didn't choose to recover the memories of your previous life. You most likely forgot that I was a member of the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer before I became your follower. To be precise, I was the Holy Son of the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer.
"It seems that even an ambitious faction like Fortune Treasure Palace doesn't know much about the situation in ancient times. The Sky Shattering Sacred Deer controlled more than just the White Stone Plateau. The White Stone Plateau was merely the birthplace of the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer.
"The territory of the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer was at the intersection of the West Universe and the South Universe. All the territory's compatibility range was almost 1/5 the size of the East Universe. It's a pity that no matter how powerful a species is, once there's a problem internally, it will eventually fall apart and gradually cut off the bloodline inheritance."
Lin Yuan was astounded. This was the first time Lin Yuan had such a detailed understanding of Winter's background. It turned out that Winter was from the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer.
After understanding Winter's background, he could tell why Winter wanted to form a contract with the Collapsing White Deer. Even if Winter had no intention of restoring the Sky Shattering Sacred Deer, he definitely aimed to preserve their legacy.
Lin Yuan naturally would not reject Winter's request.
Lin Yuan turned to Zhan Lu and said, "I want this Collapsing White Deer. Hand it over to me now! The resources can be deducted later!"
When Zhan Lu introduced the Collapsing White Deer, he could sense that Lin Yuan was not very interested in it. However, Lin Yuan suddenly became interested in it for some reason.
Even if Lin Yuan was interested in a niche type of energy, he should not have treated it any differently from the Shadow Feather Butterfly and Crystal Splitting Cactus. Zhan Lu was puzzled by Lin Yuan's sudden change in attitude toward the Collapsing White Deer.
However, since Lin Yuan was interested in the Collapsing White Deer and had made such a request, Zhan Lu would not reject him no matter what.
"Young Master Lin, I'll bring this Collapsing White Deer over to you now. Before it's brought over, would you like our envoys to analyze and feed it?"
"As feys are trading items, we usually don't feed them too much to keep them from causing too much trouble. Perhaps this Collapsing White Deer may not be able to display its best condition in front of you at the moment."
Lin Yuan felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this. Could it be true?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn Winter's heart, the Collapsing White Deer was not only a lifeform he was about to form a contract with, but it was also a descendant that Winter was prepared to nurture.
It was reasonable for Fortune Treasure Palace to treat the trading items in that manner. However, it was inevitable that Winter would hold a grudge.
Before Lin Yuan could respond to Zhan Lu, Winter spoke first. "Make sure to feed the Collapsing White Deer properly. After it's fed, bring it to our Young Master.
"Young Master, there are a few good feys over there. Let's go and take a look!"
The discovery of the Collapsing White Deer, with its unique bloodline, truly delighted Winter. However, Winter didn't lose his mind because of the Collapsing White Deer. Winter knew exactly what his existence meant. As Lin Yuan's follower, he would follow Lin Yuan and prioritize his interests.
Now that Lin Yuan wanted to establish a friendly relationship with Fortune Treasure Palace, Zhan Lu naturally wouldn't hinder Lin Yuan's objective due to personal reasons.
Upon hearing that, Zhan Lu immediately arranged for two men to feed the Collapsing White Deer. He specially instructed the two envoys to feed and nurture it to its best state before bringing it to Lin Yuan.
There must be a reason why Lin Yuan had suddenly taken such a fancy to the Collapsing White Deer. Zhan Lu had no intention of probing further. He only needed to provide the best service for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan hadn't looked at a lot of spiritual creatures before he saw the special-eyed beast that Zhan Lu mentioned, the Void-Shattering Eyed Beast. Just as Zhan Lu had said, a huge eye that occupied half of its head grew out of the back of its head. The bloodline activation of the eye beast was also exceptionally excellent.
However, this Void-Shattering Eye Beast's abilities were all focused on probing and seeing through the truth. This ability overlapped with the ability of the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom. Therefore, no matter how outstanding this beast's bloodline was, it was not suitable for Lin Yuan to contract and nurture it.
In Lin Yuan's opinion, this Void-Shattering Eye Beast was quite suitable for Wen Yu. Lin Yuan planned to bring it back and let Wen Yu decide if she wanted to contract it.
If Wen Yu did not want to contract the Void-Shattering Eye Beast, Lin Yuan would place it in the prize pool for all the white-clothed followers, becoming one of the feys that would be rewarded to the white-clothed followers.
Lin Yuan looked at the feys on the 14th floor first. After examining Fortune Treasure Palace's feys, he decided to choose the Six-Flower Jade Blood Snake for Morbius' next spirit-locked fey.
Apart from feys, there were two other spiritual ingredients that caught Lin Yuan's eye. The first one was called Pregnant Water Sea Eye.
The Pregnant Water Sea Eye could nurture all strange water in the world, but to increase the effect of strange water required a lot of water-elemental energy and spirit qi. However, these were resources that the lifeforms of the Sky Beyond the Clouds needed. Presumably, this was the reason why something like the Pregnant Water Sea Eye showed up there.
Even a faction with a huge reserve of resources like Fortune Treasure Palace would not spend so much water-elemental energy and spirit qi to strengthen a certain strange water.
However, it would benefit Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan could use the Pregnant Water Eye to nurture Dark Blue and Frigid.
Dark Blue and Frigid both needed abnormally large amounts of strange water. While the strange water found in the waters of the Lonely River was quite outstanding, the energy level of this strange water was not considered high.
Now, Lin Yuan could use the Pregnant Water Ocean Eye to increase the grade of these strange water energies so that Frigid and Dark Blue could obtain the greatest enhancement when absorbing them!
