Lin Yuan logged onto Star Web and checked the gains from the blind trade of 10 Flower Brocade Pearls. At first glance, even though he had already had expectations in his heart, he was still taken aback. The number of mid-grade strange flames he obtained had reached as many as 440.

Previously, he had used 10 Flower Brocade Pearls to exchange for 100 mid-grade strange flames, and the price itself was higher than the market price.

However, the auctioned Flower Brocade Pearls’ price was actually four times higher than the previous market price, which gave Lin Yuan a feeling of getting ginseng from cutting leeks.

Lin Yuan had deliberately spread the news that the next fan club welfare would be 10 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in his Star Web store.

At that time, the blind trade had just begun. It was unknown how many of these 440 mid-grade strange flames were drawn by the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

After the end of this blind trade, it brought in 10 more bigwigs into Lin Yuan’s fan club. The addition of new members made the fan club even more lively.

The 30 Flower Brocade Pearls in the group welfare also allowed Lin Yuan to gain a lot of rare materials.

The resources that Lin Yuan needed to build his own faction, the Sky City, couldn’t be that simple. Thanks to the resources he obtained through the group welfare auction, he could get more rare resources.

Each time the bigwigs of the group raised the price, it was equivalent to a screening. After several rounds of increasing the price, it could ensure that the resources Lin Yuan got in his hands were absolutely high quality.

Lin Yuan intended to put these resources in the Platinum fey storage box to accumulate. He would save it in preparation for building Sky City on the Floating Island Whale’s back after it hatched in June this year.

Lin Yuan silently put 10 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced from the Scorching Elemental Shellfish into his fan club for display. He intended to choose a time afterward to auction off the 10 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls on display as group welfare. It was also a fulfillment of his promise.

Then Lin Yuan logged off Star Web and wore Genius’ Tool Transformation glasses as usual.

He started to read the books about Creation Masters, and by wearing Genius’ Tool Transformation glasses to read them, Lin Yuan could very clearly imprint the knowledge into his mind.

Although Lin Yuan couldn’t reach Genius’ retentive memory with its Tool Transformation glasses, he could generally remember it as long as he read it three times.

As he read, it was as though an epiphany became clearer and clearer in his mind, as if all the knowledge was closely connected.

However, as this epiphany became clearer and clearer, Lin Yuan found that there was a vague layer of fuzziness.

No matter how Lin Yuan tried, he couldn’t point it out bluntly. Instead of being sad about it, he was very happy.

Based on the epiphany that was now becoming clearer and clearer in his heart, Lin Yuan knew that if it condensed into a Willpower Rune, it should be related to knowledge. In other words, this Willpower Rune would most likely be suitable for Genius.

For several days in a row, Lin Yuan kept himself locked up in his room and pored over books. However, the epiphany remained stagnant, which made him give up his intention to continue to bury his head in the books.

He couldn’t help but sigh. Willpower Runes can’t be forced!

In the past few days, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s online resources had all been plundered by the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce and had utterly turned into an empty shelf.

Listen was still not anxious to carry out any huge actions. Instead, he was ready to accumulate some more objects made of completely jade-textured powder and reshape the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s path of business.

At the same time, Listen was also using Fei Qianqiong as a mole to secretly devour the online and offline resources bit by bit that the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had given up.

The best way for a chamber of commerce to develop to the extreme was to have a presence in every kind of field and form a huge business empire in all interlocking fields.

Zhou Luo had also arrived in the Royal Capital in the past few days, sworn an allegiance oath to Lin Yuan with a Willpower Rune, and become his servant.

At the same time, after Lin Yuan gave him five heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, the second fire-type head of Zhou Luo’s Iron Bone Iguana finally grew.

This newly grown head activated the fire-type energy in the earth-type Iron Bone Iguana’s body, and the fire-type and earth-type energy fused and turned into searing hot lava. The Iron Bone Iguana also mutated into Lava Iguana under such a fusion of elements.

Lin Yuan had also let Zhou Luo contract the Bronze/Epic lizard-species fey, Dark Snake Dragon Lizard, which had its dragon-species bloodline activated.

There were now only a few days left before the active period of the dimensional rift. Therefore, Lin Yuan felt that it was time to go to Indigo Azure City. He wanted to check the situation of the offshore coastal resources that the Zheng family wanted to seize from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

At first, he didn’t intend to let Endless Summer follow him to Indigo Azure City this time. He only intended to bring Liu Jie, the Mother of Bloodbath, the recruited Zhou Luo, and Listen to explore a bit.

However, when Lin Yuan learned that Endless Summer had killed a pinnacle king-class expert while protecting Listen, he decided that it would be safer to bring Endless Summer along in addition to his own Path Protector, the Mother of Bloodbath, on this trip to Indigo Azure City.

After all, Indigo Azure City was the stronghold of the Zheng family’s faction.

The next morning, Lin Yuan booked a Platinum flying fey, the Long-Backed Swan. He actually wanted to book a Divine Travel Black Swallow, which was a very painful flight but much faster than the Long-Backed Swan, after all.

The Divine Travel Black Swallow was a small flying fey and could at most only take two people. Lin Yuan’s party of six people needed a larger flying fey, so he chose the Long-Backed Swan, which balanced speed and comfort.

Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, the Mother of Bloodbath, Endless Summer, and Listen were in a lotus position on the Long-Backed Swan’s back. Meanwhile, Zhou Luo was respectfully standing at the side, guarding them like a guard.

Listen told Lin Yuan about the recent news that he had about Indigo Azure City,

“I recently got someone to take a good look at the shallow near-shore sea in Indigo Azure City, which I had not been concerned about before. As a result, I lost contact with the two experts I sent there.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan frowned slightly and asked, “How strong were the two experts you sent out?”

Listen gave a bitter laugh and replied, “At present, Fei Qianqiong has the strongest combat power in the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, but I don’t want to casually use him since he’s a mole.

“Thus, I sent out two experts with Platinum feys from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. After sending them out, they only reported to me once before there was no more news from them.

“I presume they should have died.”

From what Listen said, Lin Yuan knew that the shallow sea controlled by the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce in Indigo Azure City was not safe.

If he didn’t use his trump cards, his strength shouldn’t be much different from the two spirit qi professionals with Platinum feys that Listen had sent out.

If they had gone to the shore of the shallow sea to scout for information and had not gone deep into the sea, it would have been impossible for them to be attacked by marine feys.

Hence, these two spirit qi professionals had very likely died at the hands of other spirit qi professionals.

At that moment, Listen said, “Young Master, the first message they reported back was that there were damaged corpses of Gold water world dimensional lifeforms along the coast. I think there should be a water world dimensional rift nearby this offshore coast.”

Lin Yuan needed the Gold water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh, but he wasn’t the least happy after this piece of information. Instead, his brow furrowed even more.

Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, “Regardless of whether this shallow near-shore sea is a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, or if someone is coveting it, I have to see what kind of foul play is hidden in it.”
