Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 483: Can’t Sit Even If

While the Source Sand was changing into its button form, it looked as though it was housing a potato.

Lin Yuan could not help but wonder if this was what people were referring to when they said even the humblest objects carried a certain amount of majesty.

Since there was not much time left, Lin Yuan left the Spirit Lock spatial zone and returned to his tent.

The faint aroma of seafood porridge drifted into the tent. He realized that Big Brother Liu must have started on breakfast.

Lin Yuan stretched and strolled out of his tent.

When he walked out of the tent, Lin Yuan noticed that the Mother of Bloodbath had also woken up. It was standing next to Liu Jie, who was cooking a huge pot of seafood porridge.

Every now and then, it would toss a few pieces of shelled prawns, dried scallops, and abalone pieces into the bubbling pot.

The Mother of Bloodbath kept adding ingredients, and it did not look like it was going to stop anytime soon.

The more ingredients the Mother of Bloodbath threw in, the more vigorously Liu Jie’s eyelids twitched, especially when it added the abalone pieces.

Liu Jie finally had to stop it.

“If you add more abalone pieces, the porridge will be too thick!”

The Mother of Bloodbath stopped adding the seafood and asked, “This is my first time cooking. What if Lin Yuan, Listen, and the rest don’t like the taste because there are too few ingredients?”

Liu Jie pulled out a crystal bottle of salt and handed it to the Mother of Bloodbath.

“The seafood was bought first thing this morning. You also added some Platinum abalone liver juices. There’s no way it won’t taste delicious. All we need to do now is to add some salt to bring out the porridge’s freshness. About four shakes of this crystal bottle should be enough.”

Lin Yuan’s eyebrow jumped when he heard that the Mother of Bloodbath was the chef behind this morning’s breakfast.

But he saw how attentively Liu Jie was guiding it, even giving specific instructions on how much salt to add, so the food might as well have been cooked by Liu Jie himself.

The Mother of Bloodbath was more like a sous chef.

The blazing sun set the entire sky alight, and foamy waves crashed softly on the shores. The ocean spray was completely devoid of life.

The Sea Burial Lotus Flower had utterly removed all traces of energy from the coastal seas, essentially leaving it barren.

It could very well take more than 100 years for the area to recover.

Without feys in the shores, there should be no danger as long as a water world dimensional rift did not open up here, making the area suitable for a holiday location.

Lin Yuan reveled in the abundant variety of ingredients, specifically the Mother of Bloodbath’s mouth-watering seafood porridge.

...

Unfortunately for the Zheng family, they were not having a gleeful time.

A middle-aged man with three scars on his face was pushing a wheelchair along a narrow path that cut through an expansive yard.

The dawn air was still pregnant with night chill. The skinny youth in the wheelchair had a thick blanket draped over him and was dressed in a set of white wool robes.

The scarred middle-aged man pulled the blanket tighter around the youth as he bowed and said, “Third Young Master, you’ve been out twice as long as usual. How about we return after walking through this alley?”

The skinny youth in the wheelchair was in a good mood as he replied, “No rush. I want to visit the cherry blossom forest after we’re done walking around here. It’s a pity that it doesn’t snow in Indigo Azure City. The red cherry blossoms aren’t as vibrant when they’re not viewed against the blank white canvas of snow.”

The scarred middle-aged man knew that the Third Young Master’s mood could not simply be described as good. He knew why the Third Young Master’s had such a bright and spirited demeanor.

“Third Young Master, there was a blizzard at sea last night, but it only lasted for a short while,” said the scarred middle-aged man.

The skinny youth chuckled.

“The snow might have stopped above the sea, but it must have moved to another area. It wouldn’t just end so abruptly. If only my legs were strong. I could have enjoyed the ocean view last night.”

The skinny youth suddenly asked, “Uncle Fu, you said that even Nightmare VI disappeared. How’s Second Brother taking it?”

The scarred middle-aged man did not respond because he knew that the Third Young Master was only engaging in soliloquy. He was actually detached from reality at the moment.

Disturbing him while he was in such a state would only spell trouble.

Suddenly, the Third Young Master heaved a sigh.

“Well, Second Brother’s legs are still working. At least, he’ll be able to do something about it. If he was like me, he’d truly be crippled by helplessness.”

The middle-aged man suddenly felt the initially exceptionally pleasant weather shift as a cold wind kicked up.

A figure surreptitiously appeared beside the skinny youth’s wheelchair.

He was dressed in black robes and had a figure which would tower over the average person, giving his black robe a wide and voluminous appearance.

The black figure whispered into the skinny youth’s ear, “Third Young Master, I’ve confirmed that Nightmare VI is dead. I’ve also sent the item as per your orders.”

The skinny youth in the wheelchair stretched contentedly, and his fingers rapped on the wheelchair’s armrest. His mood had apparently improved.

...

Lin Yuan emerged from the ocean, having just checked on the Ethereal Jellyfish’s progress of collecting the Floating Silver.

He realized that the Ethereal Jellyfish was collecting the Floating Silver Strands much faster than he had anticipated.

It had already collected 1/3 of the Floating Silver Strands from the ocean floor in just one night. This meant that all of the Floating Silver Strands would be collected at the same time tomorrow.

Zhou Luo’s Lava Dragon Lizard was instrumental in this result.

After spending a day in the ocean, Lin Yuan felt that spirit qi professionals had stringent criteria when picking their contracted feys.

The majority of feys could only control one of the three realms—the sea, the land, and the skies.

There were very few feys that could control two or even three.

Different feys could use different abilities in different environments.

For example, no matter how strong Liu Jie’s Insect Queen became, it could only rely on its Lightning Gathering Moths and Hurricane Owlet Moths to fight against enemies from the sea surface.

When it came to enemies that were submerged underwater, Liu Jie would be helpless.

Lin Yuan felt it was necessary for him to contract a real aquatic fey in the future besides Red Thorn that could fight underwater.
