Chapter 2968 - 2968: Deal with the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace!

Lin Yuan’s stance toward Ling Muzhuo was even clearer. The main point of Lin Yuan’s words was that he would only become good friends with Ling Muzhuo if he satisfied his needs. This showed that the relations.h.i.+p between the two was determined by supply and demand.


Ling Muzhuo wanted Lin Yuan to obtain many resources from Fortune


Treasure Palace because this would encourage him to help him in the future.


As the leader of Sky City, Lin Yuan did not need to be overly polite when communicating with the leaders of any faction. The Sky Beyond the Clouds was a place that did not care about relations.h.i.+ps at all. In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, relations.h.i.+ps were determined by strength. Lin Yuan and Ling Muzhuo had interacted because they needed each other.


Of course, Lin Yuan’s words also revealed information related to him.


Lin Yuan’s mention of his arrival led Ling Muzhuo to suspect that he wasn’t from the East Universe. This puzzled Ling Muzhuo, leaving him unable to determine Lin Yuan’s true ident.i.ty. Despite his desire to uncover Lin Yuan’s background, Ling Muzhuo found himself at a loss.


Given the resources Lin Yuan possessed, Ling Muzhuo could never have imagined that Lin Yuan had only arrived in the Sky Beyond the Clouds less than a year ago.


Ling Muzhuo laughed out loud when he heard Lin Yuan’s words.


“I’ve long heard from Zhan Lu that you’re a straightforward person. Now that I’ve seen you today, you really live up to your reputation! It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of me. In our future dealings, I believe that you will treat me as a friend.


“I’ve already asked Zhan Lu to mobilize Fortune Treasure Palace’s inventory to complete the transaction immediately for the supplies on the orders you brought this time. If Zhan Lu were to trade with you, he would need to spend at least a few months to gather these resources. In the future, we can carry out resource transactions according to this speed.”


Lin Yuan, who was hidden in the starlight, said with a smile, “Then I’ll thank you in advance. I have no lack of Creator resources, but I really lack all kinds of other resources to build my own faction!


“I will try my best to ensure that the supplies traded from Fortune Treasure


Palace are paid through Creator resources. I think this is also the key to why


Fortune Treasure Palace is so willing to trade with me.”


That was indeed what Ling Muzhuo had in mind. He had even intentionally made such a suggestion. However, Ling Muzhuo was afraid that this hint would affect the friendly relations.h.i.+p he had just formed with Lin Yuan.


Lin Yuan had recently traded numerous rare resources with Fortune Treasure Palace, their value akin to Creator resources. Additionally, Lin Yuan traded for basic resources available elsewhere.


What set Fortune Treasure Palace apart was its capacity to supply vast amounts, meeting Lin Yuan’s requirements. Utilizing Creator resources for such basic supplies would be wasteful.


There was nothing wrong with Lin Yuan taking the initiative, but if Fortune Treasure Palace asked him to do so, it might seem like they were treating him as a fool.


In the end, Lin Yuan brought up the topic himself without needing any hints. To some extent, his actions resembled showing off his skills. His words confirmed his abundant Creator resources and his lack of fear in using them—he simply aimed to gather enough resources.


Fortune Treasure Palace loved wealthy guests like Lin Yuan the most!


Ling Muzhuo said in a serious tone, “Young Master Lin, you’re a special honor guest of Fortune Treasure Palace. You know how we have always treated special honor guests. Apart from taking the initiative to befriend you because our faction can obtain many Creator resources by trading with you, it’s also related to the strength of the experts under you.’


Since Lin Yuan had communicated with him in such a frank manner, Ling Muzhuo was unusually frank.


After a slight pause, Ling Muzhuo continued. “I think you should be able to understand one thing, which is that there are thresholds for cooperation and communication. No one is willing to waste time on weak and irrelevant forces.


I think you should be the same. I hope we can work well together in the future!”


Ling Muzhuo’s every word was related to benefits, but his words made Lin Yuan feel at ease.


This kind of profit-oriented partners.h.i.+p was more suitable for Sky City.


“I happen to have a matter that I would like your help with. This matter will require a certain amount of connections from your side.”


Ling Muzhuo furrowed his brow upon learning that he needed to leverage his connections. It was widely known that Fortune Treasure Palace placed great importance on cultivating relations.h.i.+ps.


Ling Muzhuo hesitated to exhaust the connections painstakingly acc.u.mulated by the faction. Yet, outright refusal would risk straining the carefully nurtured rapport between them.


“Young Master Lin, simply state your needs. While Fortune Treasure Palace is accommodating to special honor guests, some requests may not yield results despite our connections. Nevertheless, we’ll endeavor to a.s.sist you. If we fall short, please accept our apologies.”


Lin Yuan perceived Ling Muzhuo’s words as a cautious disclaimer.


Raising an eyebrow, Lin Yuan replied, “I won’t impose undue burdens on our partners.h.i.+p. This task shouldn’t pose a significant challenge for you. Furthermore, it’s mutually beneficial. If you decline, I’ll seek a.s.sistance elsewhere. However, missing this opportunity may alter our future collaboration. I hope you understand.”


The more Ling Muzhuo listened to Lin Yuan, the more he felt that something was amiss. Why did it sound like Lin Yuan was giving Fortune Treasure Palace a huge opportunity when he was the one asking for their help? If he lost this opportunity, he would take the initiative to look for another one!


Ling Muzhuo felt that Lin Yuan was underestimating him. Fortune Treasure Palace’s capabilities were not as simple as they appeared. Also, their influence in the East Universe was not strong to begin with. They had a much greater presence in the other three universes than in the East Universe!


Ling Muzhuo felt a twinge of displeasure at Lin Yuan’s words but concealed it adeptly. With a friendly and polite tone, he replied, “Certainly! If Fortune Treasure Palace is unable to a.s.sist you, why should any blame fall on you? We do not operate in such a discourteous manner! To be so would be to betray the trust you’ve placed in us.”


Internally, Ling Muzhuo was curious about Lin Yuan’s request. In case it was indeed trivial, Lin Yuan had certainly blown it out of proportion. Ling Muzhuo pondered whether it was worth investing future time and effort in Lin Yuan.


Despite his composed exterior, as a leader of Fortune Treasure Palace, Ling Muzhuo’s mind was anything but at ease.


Observing Ling Muzhuo’s expression, Lin Yuan discerned no s.h.i.+ft in tone. Yet, he was certain that Ling Muzhuo was displeased.


Lin Yuan was aware that his words had likely irked Ling Muzhuo, though his intention wasn’t to provoke. Rather, he sought to leverage the situation to showcase his abilities once more.


“Most of the Creators under my command are Grade 3 and 4. There are very few high-grade Creators. I hope that you can introduce me to some high-grade Creators!”


Ling Muzhuo did not say anything. He knew that Lin Yuan would probably continue. This was because Lin Yuan’s words were far from a win-win situation.


“The lifespan of Creators is not unlimited. There should be some high-grade Creators in the Sky Beyond the Clouds who have basically reached the end of their lifespans. These Creators have been working hard to obtain spiritual ingredients that can increase lifespan.


“I possess unique spiritual ingredients capable of extending life. Furthermore, these ingredients won’t counteract the effects of other lifespan-extending ingredients.


“I aim to trade these specific spiritual ingredients with those high-grade Creators nearing the end of their lives. I believe you won’t refuse this offer! By recommending and a.s.sisting these Creators, you’ll undoubtedly earn their grat.i.tude!”


Lin Yuan’s statement ignited Ling Muzhuo’s curiosity.


Finally, Ling Muzhuo grasped Lin Yuan’s previous remarks.


Lin Yuan claimed to possess spiritual ingredients capable of prolonging life. Moreover, these ingredients’ efficacy wouldn’t diminish if the Creators consumed other lifespan-enhancing ingredients.


If Fortune Treasure Palace mediated for Lin Yuan, they would not only gain Lin Yuan’s favor but also earn favor from those high-grade Creators.


Acquiring favor from such esteemed Creators wasn’t a simple feat!


Fortune Treasure Palace indeed had connections with Creators nearing the end of their lifespans. Among them were Grade 6 Creators.


These Creators chose to become special honor guests of Fortune Treasure


Palace. They were not only interested in gathering resources from Fortune Treasure Palace but also sought after spiritual ingredients to prolong their lifespans.


Such spiritual ingredients were exceedingly rare, making it difficult for Fortune Treasure Palace to ama.s.s them even with their best efforts over the span of a year. Additionally, certain experts within Fortune Treasure Palace required these resources, making it imperative for the faction to prioritize their distribution among their own ranks.


Should Ling Muzhuo miss this opportunity, he might deeply regret it and feel compelled to approach Lin Yuan once more to secure it.


Lin Yuan had subtly sensed Ling Muzhuo’s hesitation and uncertainty in his earlier, reserved response. This prompted Lin Yuan to explain the advantages Fortune Treasure Palace stood to gain from the transaction, ensuring transparency and preventing any undue advantage for his faction. Though he was indeed extending a.s.sistance, he recognized the need to offer supplementary benefits in return.


But in the end, this favor fell on Fortune Treasure Palace, which had already benefited greatly.


Ling Muzhuo’s tone toward Lin Yuan was much warmer than before.


“Haha, thank you for thinking of Fortune Treasure Palace! We have the contact information of those Creators whose lifespans are about to end. We will tell these Creators about the spiritual ingredients in your hands.


“I am very curious about the spiritual ingredients that you mentioned. I wonder if you can trade some of them with us? As long as it’s a resource that Fortune Treasure Palace has, feel free to mention it!”


Lin Yuan helped other creatures obtain endless lifespan through the Lifespan


Mice. Once this coveted resource was exchanged, ensuring that the formidable Creators of Fortune Treasure Palace didn’t uncover its secrets was impossible.


Even with a slim chance, Lin Yuan was determined to prevent any leakage of information. The Lifespan Mouse would remain firmly under Lin Yuan’s control!


Lin Yuan said directly, “I apologize. These lifespan-enhancing ingredients are foundational resources for me. They can be exchanged for premium Creator resources and secure a steady supply of high-grade materials. Thus, I’ll only trade them to esteemed Creators. I trust you won’t bring up this matter again, as I value our ongoing relations.h.i.+p.”


Lin Yuan’s declaration effectively closed off any discussion of trading these resources with Ling Muzhuo.


Understanding Lin Yuan’s stance, Ling Muzhuo felt a pang of regret.


Fortunately, Fortune Treasure Palace possessed its own stock of lifespan-extending spiritual ingredients. These not only sufficed for the faction’s experts but also provided trading opportunities with outsiders.


If Fortune Treasure Palace really did not have such resources that were linked to survival, they would most likely shamelessly ask Lin Yuan for them even if Lin Yuan rejected Ling Muzhuo.


Lin Yuan could sense that Ling Muzhuo truly wanted to befriend him. Thus, he would definitely do his best to introduce him to a high-grade Creator.


It would not be long before the resources of Sky City’s high-grade Creators were replenished.


The link formed by the Star Vastness Peony in s.p.a.ce was subject to the same limitations as those of the Astronomical Parliament. This restriction stemmed from the fact that maintaining the link depleted the energy within the Star Vastness Peony’s body.


Having conveyed his message, Lin Yuan concluded his meeting with Ling Muzhuo. Now, all that remained was to prepare for the reception of these Creators and take them under his wing!


Recently, Su Yiren and Luo Lan had sought out Lin Yuan on two occasions to inquire about the gathering of faith in the faith country.


Su Yiren and Luo Lan were not the type to persistently trouble Lin Yuan over matters he was already aware of.


Their return to Lin Yuan was prompted by the exceptional beings in the faith country who, through their remarkable talents and abilities, had garnered the respect and affection of their peers, thus beginning to harness the power of faith!
