Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 3022 Chu Ci’s Training!

Yi He believed that with Lin Yuan’s power, he could force those Grade 4 Creators or even Grade 5 Creators to submit.

If he stayed by Lin Yuan’s side, he would be Lin Yuan’s accomplice.

By doing so, Lin Yuan could maximize the short-term benefits.

Lin Yuan could target all the Creators participating in this academic exchange.

However, there were two disadvantages to doing so. One was that even if those who were forced to join Sky City by Lin Yuan’s martial force were to join Sky City’s and become under Lin Yuan’s control, they would still be an unstable factor. Not only would these people not serve Sky City well, but they might also secretly think of ways to take revenge on Sky City.

Many Creators were tough nuts to crack. Only when they truly felt the effects of the depletion of their lifespan and experienced the process of their bodies and souls decaying because of aging would they soften.

For example, in the tens of thousands of years that Yi He had been searching for a way to increase his lifespan, his bones were no longer as hard as before.

Otherwise, Yi He would not have willingly submitted to Lin Yuan after he took out the Lifespan Mouse.

Secondly, there was no way that the secret would remain hidden. Once the news got out, Lin Yuan’s Sky City would be targeted by the Creator factions. Even Honor Absent Palace, which controlled the East Universe, would ask about this matter.

“Young Master, I’ll make the preparations first so you can take action when you come! I will use my connections to invite more Creators to participate in this academic exchange.”

Yi He paused for a moment before speaking to Lin Yuan. “Young Master, after our meeting this time, I’ve decided not to continue developing outside like before. I want to return to Sky City with you. Didn’t you say that Sky City is currently in the construction phase? I can bring some people over to help!”

Yi He’s idea did not appear out of nowhere. It was something that he had thought of not long after he became Lin Yuan’s subordinate.

He looked carefree and free and could still live like before.

However, doing so was equivalent to leaving Sky City’s center of power.

He had contracted the Lifespan Mouse. From now on, he would be a member of Sky City in life and a ghost in death.

If he only had a few thousand years left to live, Yi He would definitely choose freedom.

However, the current Yi He had an unlimited lifespan. Compared to his current freedom, he had to consider his future development.

Although Yi He didn’t venture to Sky City, Lin Yuan still disclosed some information about it to him. Lin Yuan informed Yi He of the existence of Zhong Zhiyu, a Grade 5 Creator, whose presence sparked a sense of danger in Yi He.

In terms of Creator abilities, Zhong Zhiyu surpassed him. Lingering outside too long might jeopardize Yi He’s future access to Sky City’s core!

Initially, Lin Yuan had urged Yi He to explore outside because he recognized Yi He as the founder of a Creator group, surrounded by many others of his kind. Lin Yuan aimed to leverage Yi He’s influence and the resources of his Creator network.

Yi He had intentions to align his Creators with Sky City.

Yet, Lin Yuan no longer relied on Yi He’s influence; Yi He had stretched it to its limits during their gathering. Despite Yi He’s silence on the matter, Lin Yuan intended to dispatch him back to Sky City to collaborate with Zhong Zhiyu on refining the development of the Floating Island Whale embryos.

The combined intellect of two Grade 5 Creators would undoubtedly enhance the construction and layout of the Floating Island Whale embryos!

“Senior Yi He, it’s great you’re willing to return to Sky City. The leader of Sky City’s Creator department has been set up. When you return, I’ll give you the position of deputy leader. The deputy team leader and the team leader have the same authority. You can communicate more.”

Lin Yuan had already appointed Zhong Zhiyu, so upon his return, Lin Yuan couldn’t make Yi He the team leader immediately, thus ensuring Zhong Zhiyu and Yi He were on equal footing.

This decision not only affected Zhong Zhiyu’s authority in Sky City’s Creator department but also likely sparked opinions from Zhong Zhiyu.

The principle of “first come, first served” applied there. While Zhong Zhiyu excelled in Creator abilities compared to Yi He, he couldn’t object to Yi He being the deputy team leader.

Lin Yuan granted Yi He and Zhong Zhiyu equal authority. In case of disagreement, Zhong Zhiyu couldn’t use his team leader status to compel Yi He.

Yi He likely brought numerous Grade 4 Creators to Sky City. As a deputy team leader, he could effectively manage them.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s arrangement, Yi He raised no objections. It was clear Zhong Zhiyu had no issue being the deputy team leader under Yi He.

With Lin Yuan possessing the Lifespan Mouse, Yi He was confident more Grade 5 Creators would join Sky City in the future.

By holding the position of deputy team leader, even if he encountered stronger Grade 5 Creators in the future, he’d maintain managerial status.

It seemed returning to Sky City wasn’t too late for him!

After concluding the call with Yi He, Lin Yuan briefed Winter and readied to depart.

Lin Yuan intended to use this trip near Treasure City to meet with Fu Mi and Yun Qingyang.

It was unknown how many star pirates Fu Mi and Yun Qingyang had hunted recently.

With Autumn around, he could support Fu Mi and Yun Qingyang in terms of martial force.

In terms of harvest, it all depended on Fu Mi and Yun Qingyang’s management and operations!

The star pirates roaming around Treasure City should have been hunted down in the past few months.

After Lin Yuan went to collect the harvest, Fu Mi, Yun Qingyang, and the rest could bring the poachers to another area to hunt star pirates.

Fu Mi and Yun Qingyang both possessed remarkable abilities, particularly Yun Qingyang, who had recently joined Lin Yuan with a determination to establish his reputation. Though he might not surpass Fu Mi, he was determined to demonstrate his worth to Lin Yuan, propelling him to work diligently.

In the bustling hub of Myriad Treasures City, the chambers of commerce had experienced minimal losses among merchant groups over the past few months.

Traditionally, each chamber of commerce dispatched 1,000 merchant groups annually, with 20% falling victim to star pirates and 10% facing outright attack.

Remarkably, there had been no reported losses among merchant groups in recent months. Even if news of valuable cargo leaked, it failed to attract the attention of the covetous star pirates.

Being a commercial hub, Myriad Treasures City naturally attracted more star pirates compared to other urban centers.

Previously, Li Feng, the City Lord, attempted to eradicate the star pirates surrounding Treasure City with hired experts, albeit with limited success.

Since the inception of Treasure City, star pirates had entrenched themselves in the vicinity. The local chambers of commerce tacitly accepted their presence, as they had become integral to the city’s infrastructure development.

However, the sudden disappearance of these seemingly indomitable star pirates puzzled Li Feng.

Unbeknownst to Li Feng, Lin Yuan was quietly eliminating the star pirates. There was no advantage in divulging this information to Li Feng.

Lin Yuan understood that Li Feng would inevitably publicize this achievement to bolster trade and attract more support to Treasure City.

Yet, such publicity was not in Lin Yuan’s best interest and could potentially alert the remaining star pirates. Lin Yuan preferred to amass wealth discreetly!

Since there were no more star pirates around Myriad Treasure City, it was very difficult for the hunting team to gain anything by staying here.

Lin Yuan and Qin Yu would occasionally communicate. Lin Yuan had also been to the Scarlet Territory and knew that the Bloodian territory was extremely chaotic.

There were a large number of star pirates outside the Scarlet Territory. These star pirates were very strong, and many of them were made up of Bloodians.

It would undoubtedly be more beneficial for Lin Yuan to hunt these powerful star pirates. It would also make it easier for the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to choose holy maids from the holy spirits of these star pirates’ divine kingdoms.

…

Winter brought Lin Yuan all the way to Treasure City.

At that moment, Lin Yuan received a message from Chu Ci on his Thoughts Letter Paper.

[Chu Ci]: I’m done with my seclusion. I asked Genius and was surprised to learn that I was seclusion for a few years! I didn’t even know that you went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds!

Lin Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart when he saw Chu Ci’s message.

While Chu Ci was in seclusion, Lin Yuan had not completely lost contact with her. It was just that she was focused on improving her strength and no longer interacted with the outside world.

During this period, Lin Yuan had helped Chu Ci increase her strength.

Not only that, but Chu Ci had also met her master, Cold Moon, several times.

However, Chu Ci was in seclusion, so they did not tell her about their trip to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Now that Chu Ci had ended her seclusion, she no longer needed to slowly improve her strength.

Lin Yuan decided that he might as well bring Chu Ci out to train and let her understand more about the Sky Beyond the Clouds so that she could make up for her lack of vision after more than 10 years of seclusion.

Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone and brought Chu Ci out.

Chu Ci had grown accustomed to residing in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Despite leaving it now, she remained unsurprised, even as she noted the heightened energy concentration in the Sky Beyond the Clouds compared to the main world.

Ironically, she found the environmental energy there somewhat lacking.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile at Chu Ci’s reaction, seeing it as a testament to his effective upbringing, ensuring her comfort.

However, Chu Ci’s uncertainty about the Sky Beyond the Clouds’ environment concerned Lin Yuan. He intended to ask Genius to help her clarify the situation for her.

Chu Ci said in a serious tone, “Big Brother, you’ve worked hard to nurture me all these years! I know very well that if you hadn’t provided me with the best environment after Mom and Dad left, my feys would only be at Diamond at best. It would have been very difficult for me to become a king-class expert.”

To Lin Yuan, king-class had become an unfamiliar term because he had transcended this level for too long!

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Chu Ci continued. “Big Brother, don’t be in a hurry to deny what I said. If not for you, I would have most likely chosen to contract that Gray Beetle. I wouldn’t have been able to find such a good teacher.”

Chu Ci reached out to hug Lin Yuan. Even though her parents had died when she was very young, the care and love she received was no less than that of her peers. Sometimes, she received even more than they did!

When Chu Ci hugged him, Lin Yuan reached out to hug her shoulder.

Lin Yuan had spent a lot of effort nurturing Chu Ci, giving her the best he could!

After being nurtured by Lin Yuan, Chu Ci surpassed even the younger generation cultivated by the leading factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. She stood as a top genius both in the main world and in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

“Chu Ci, your current growth is inseparable from your own efforts. You don’t have to belittle yourself. With your current strength and level, you’re still the top prodigy of this generation even in a huge environment like the Sky Beyond the Clouds! In the future, you have to train more to make your character worthy of your strength.”

Lin Yuan summoned Genius and had it use Connected Tails on Chu Ci, sharing all the knowledge and information that Lin Yuan had obtained while she was in seclusion.

Chu Ci’s knowledge greatly improved in a short period.

However, the improvement of one’s knowledge was not equivalent to one’s character. Chu Ci’s character could only be improved through continuous training.

After Chu Ci digested everything, she was shocked. She did not expect so many things to happen while she had been in seclusion.

Not only had Lin Yuan explored a world that was countless times larger than the main world, but he had also established a strong foundation in this world.

Chu Ci had admired Lin Yuan since she was young. In her heart, Lin Yuan, who had been weak back then, was like an omnipotent giant.

Now that she knew Lin Yuan’s results, Chu Ci was extremely proud.

“Big Brother is in such a vast world. If you bring me around to train, my character will quickly improve. You happen to be going out to train this time. Why don’t I stay by your side?”

As Chu Ci spoke, she observed Lin Yuan’s expression. She knew that the Sky Beyond the Clouds was extremely dangerous. If she saw a hint of distress in Lin Yuan’s eyes, she would obediently return to the Spirit Lock spatial zone and not cause trouble for him!
