chapter-2856
There were three ways to become a special honor guest of Fortune Treasure Palace. The first method was to verify one's Holy Spirit level. Fortune Treasure Palace was very willing to establish connections with Holy Spirit experts.
Fortune Treasure Palace itself used resources to worship Holy Spirit experts. The latter did not need to do anything for Fortune Treasure Palace when they received the offerings.
However, when Fortune Treasure Palace needed help or had a mission, they would take out additional resources to hire these Holy Spirit experts, who would have no way of rejecting Fortune Treasure Palace's request.
Of course, those Holy Spirit experts could also choose to decline the Fortune Treasure Palace's offerings. As long as they proved their strength, they could obtain the special honor guest card of Fortune Treasure Palace.
The second method to become a special honor guest was to purchase items costing more than 30,000,000 chips, thereby gaining access to Fortune Treasure Palace's services for resource acquisition.Being able to spend 30,000,000 chips in Fortune Treasure Palace was sufficient proof of the special honor guest's wealth.
It's worth noting that, according to the attendant, Lin Yuan's spirit qi crystal could only be exchanged for a few thousand chips.
The third method involved making a huge contribution to Fortune Treasure Palace. Those who obtained the special honor guest title through that method were usually internal members of Fortune Treasure Palace. External members had no chance at all, even if they made contributions.
Although the female attendant harbored doubts about Lin Yuan's ability to become a special honor guest despite possessing resources like spirit qi crystals, she still explained the process to Lin Yuan very seriously in accordance with the principle of service.
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. It turned out that it was so easy to become a special honor guest!
Although Lin Yuan's resources could be easily obtained through the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he did not want to waste the available resources.
30,000,000 chips were equivalent to nearly 20,000 spirit qi crystals. According to Fortune Treasure Palace's pricing rules, Lin Yuan would have to spend nearly 4,000 spirit qi crystals to become a special honor guest of Fortune Treasure Palace."If I become a special honor guest and stay in Fortune Treasure Palace, I don't have to buy items here anymore, right?"
The female attendant looked surprised. Why did that young man before her make it sound like he was really going to become a special honor guest?
"That's right. If you become a special honor guest of our Fortune Treasure Palace, not only do you not need to purchase three items here, but all the items sold within Fortune Treasure Palace will also be available to you at the new VIP prices."
Winter understood what Lin Yuan meant and asked the attendant, "Do you use the leaves of the Holy Presence Bodhi to verify if one possesses Holy Spirit strength?"
Upon hearing that, the female attendant's expression immediately became serious. Could there be a Holy Spirit expert among that group?! Without one, it would be meaningless to inquire about the method to verify the Holy Spirit level.
"I wonder if any of you are interested in becoming special honor guests? Currently, we no longer use the leaves of the Holy Presence Bodhi to verify the Holy Spirit level, as using them may reveal the appearance of the holy spirit, which is deemed disrespectful to Holy Spirit experts.
"Our Fortune Treasure Palace extends full sincerity to every Holy Spirit expert, so we now use the seed of the Holy Presence Bodhi for testing instead. This ensures that not only will the appearance of the holy spirit remain undisclosed, but also the divine kingdom abilities won't be detected by the outside world."
Winter asked Lin Yuan softly, "Young Master, do you need me to obtain a special honor guest card for you?"
Lin Yuan nodded at Winter.
The female attendant hurriedly said, "If you want to verify your strength and obtain a special honor guest card, I'll call the person in charge of our Fortune Treasure Palace over now. Please follow me to the VIP room on the second floor for a moment. All kinds of dishes have been prepared in the VIP room. You can try whatever you want!"
This was the first time this female attendant had received a lifeform who had reached the Holy Spirit level. She was exceptionally excited. Today's encounter would undoubtedly become a memorable conversation topic in her future career.
"Alright. Remember to get your person in charge here as soon as possible. After I become the special honor guest, it's very likely that I'll make a huge deal with Fortune Treasure Palace."
Upon hearing that, the female attendant walked faster. She brought Lin Yuan and his companions to the VIP room and immediately went to look for the person in charge.
When Lin Yuan's group reached the second floor, the other people in the exhibition hall subconsciously looked at them. These people were fully aware that those who had the capability to step onto the second floor were all extraordinary figures and are worth establishing connections with.
Lin Yuan sat in the VIP room and sipped on the rose-red juice in his cup. The fruit juice was very thick, sweet, and sour, with a rich fragrance, unlike any other fruit juice that Lin Yuan had ever drunk before. Not only was it delicious, but it also seemed to contain abundant energy and had a certain refreshing effect that helped the drinker focus.
The dishes served were also abnormally unique. Some of the spiritual ingredients used had already reached the World Emperor grade. Judging from the dishes, it was evident how much Fortune Treasure Palace valued potential special honor guests.
Spring had used her aura to create a barrier that enveloped Lin Yuan, preventing outsiders from detecting his aura.
Spring said softly, "This Fortune Treasure Palace has some traces of the Divine Lifeform Pavilion. I wonder whether it has obtained the Divine Lifeform Pavilion's inheritance or it imitating its business model.
"If the Divine Lifeform Pavilion hadn't offended the dominant factions of the two universes at the same time and secretly attacked the faeries many times and angered the six faerie kings of Faerie Institution, it wouldn't have been reduced to ashes at its peak."
Lin Yuan revealed an interested expression. This was the first time he had heard of the Divine Lifeform Pavilion's legend.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was interested, Spring continued. "The Divine Lifeform Pavilion operated similarly to Fortune Treasure Palace. They used resources to rope in a large number of experts, which is a much more convenient and economical method than nurturing them.
"However, when encountering a calamity that can shake the foundation of the Divine Lifeform Pavilion, these experts lack loyalty and may easily betray the pavilion. If those experts who were roped in by Divine Lifeform Pavilion back then were willing to protect it, then it wouldn't have been left without any foundation."
Winter pondered for a moment before saying, "I have a suspicion that, even without the Divine Lifeform Pavilion's inheritance, the Fortune Treasure Palace harbors ambitions.
"The Holy Presence Bodhi's seeds can only germinate upon sensing the aura of the holy spirit. Instead of viewing Fortune Treasure Palace's choice to use the seeds over leaves as solely for the sake of the special honor guests, it's more accurate to say that they aim to cultivate the Holy Presence Bodhi!
"The Holy Presence Bodhi is one of the few treasures that can strengthen the holy spirit in the divine kingdom. Fortune Treasure Palace invests most of its resources in cultivating its own members. If I'm not wrong, Fortune Treasure Palace will surely love to trade the high-end resources in Young Master's hands!"
…
While Lin Yuan and his companions were waiting in the VIP room, the King Blood Jackals' territories were in turmoil.
Before the Thoughts Letter Paper reached its maximum distance limit, Lin Yuan had had a conversation with Liu Jie, Wen Yu, the Moon Empress, Listen, and the other core members of Sky City.
For the first time in its history, Sky City was without Lin Yuan's control. Wen Yu and Liu Jie had always relied on Lin Yuan to make decisions and were not accustomed to his absence.
Regardless of how strong Autumn and Summer were, it was inevitable that there would be stronger lifeforms above them in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. They were afraid that Lin Yuan would encounter trouble that was difficult to resolve. After all, Liu Jie and Wen Yu had never truly understood Autumn and Summer's strength.
When the Moon Empress realized that Liu Jie and Wen Yu had been consistently relying on Lin Yuan as their backbone and that their effectiveness had diminished in his absence, the Moon Empress stepped up and began to manage Sky City on Lin Yuan's behalf.
The Moon Empress had previously said that she would help Lin Yuan guard Sky City, so she would definitely not let anything happen to it.
One village after another had already migrated to the vicinity of the King Blood Jackals' territory. What the Moon Empress needed to do next was to build the embryonic form of the faith country according to Lin Yuan's wishes.
This was a huge project, but it was hardly a problem for the Moon Empress. However, the current problem did not stem from within the territory of the King Blood Jackals.
The Spinning Wings White Falcons had sent a team of envoys to King Blood Jackals' territory.
All along, the King Blood Jackals and the Spinning Wings White Falcons had been living in harmony. The reason for such a situation was most likely that the Spinning Wings White Falcons knew that Kani had reached the Holy Spirit level.
Since Kani had already departed with Lin Yuan, there was no chance for the Spinning Wings White Falcon envoys to encounter her. Without encountering Kani, their objective would not be fulfilled, and they wouldn't be able to report back.
The attitude of the Spinning Wings White Falcons' envoys seemed gentle, but they were abnormally domineering. This was because the Spinning Wings White Falcons had always been stronger than the King Blood Jackals as they had already had a Holy Spirit expert since seven years ago.
However, after the First Elder of the Spinning Wings White Falcons stepped into the Holy Spirit level, he had never been able to break through from World Emperor to the Domain Mountain.
The Holy Spirit level and Domain Mountain class were two different hurdles for a World Emperor/Divine Kingdom expert. The former was more related to faith power, while the latter was more related to bloodline.
In the eyes of the Spinning Wings White Falcons' envoys, even if the King Blood Jackal Queen was fortunate enough to break through to the Holy Spirit level, it was impossible for her to reach Domain Mountain class. There were no resources for Kani's bloodline to evolve in this wasteland.
Secondly, the Spinning Wings White Falcons had the Crimson Heaven Falcons backing them, while the King Blood Jackals had no one to rely on.
The Spinning Wings White Falcons showed disdain for the King Blood Jackals.
In the early years, the Spinning Wings White Falcons had the idea of competing with the King Blood Jackals for this wasteland. However, the Crimson Heaven Falcon envoys overruled them.
This time, the Spinning Wings White Falcons sent envoys to the King Blood Jackals because the Crimson Heaven Falcon envoys had the intention of roping in the King Blood Jackals.
A species without a Holy Spirit expert and a species with a Holy Spirit expert had completely different values and significance.
In the past, the King Blood Jackals were merely neighbors to the Spinning Wings White Falcons, who had taken a portion of the resources yet did not pose any significant threat. However, they had now threatened the interests of the Spinning Wings White Falcons, making them feel a sense of danger.
The Spinning Wings White Falcon envoys not only intended to convey the intentions of the Crimson Heaven Falcon envoys to rope in the King Blood Jackals but also had the idea of probing the true intentions of the King Blood Jackals.
In the end, when they arrived at the King Blood Jackals' territory, only two female King Blood Jackals were sent to entertain them.
It was rumored that the King Blood Jackal Queen had been in seclusion all this time. However, she had already reached the Holy Spirit level, so what was the reason for her seclusion? Could it be that she was planning to evolve to Domain Mountain in one go?
The Spinning Wings White Falcon envoys felt that they were being treated coldly and kept putting pressure on the two female King Blood Jackals who received them.
The two female King Blood Jackals contacted Wen Yu more than once to report the situation.
The envoys led a team of more than 1,000 people. When they arrived at the King Blood Jackals' territory, they began to investigate the situation.
The two female King Blood Jackals couldn't stop them. However, they knew that everything in the territory was constantly changing.
If the envoys were to wantonly investigate the situation in the territory, many aspects of the territory would fall under the Spinning Wings White Falcons' control.
If Lin Yuan had been around, Wen Yu would have only needed to report the information to him and let him make the decision. However, now that Lin Yuan had left, there was no way to communicate with him.
This situation was reported to the Moon Empress. She had always been an extremely decisive person and never beat around the bush.
The Spinning Wings White Falcon envoys, unable to meet Kani, had already expressed their intentions to the two female King Blood Jackals who received them.
The Moon Empress knew very well that the one who was truly interested in the King Blood Jackals was not the Spinning Wings White Falcons but rather the Crimson Heaven Falcons.
The Moon Empress decided to ask Summer and Autumn solemnly, "If there's no choice and conflicts arise with the Crimson Heaven Falcons in the future, can the two of you ensure the safety of our territory?"
Autumn had always been impulsive but refrained from hastily answering the Moon Empress' question. The Moon Empress was Lin Yuan's Master, and he respected her profoundly.
In Autumn's heart, the Moon Empress held an extremely important position and was second only to Lin Yuan in the entire Sky City.
"Moon Empress, I have never investigated the situation of the Crimson Heaven Falcons. Please give me two days to look into it! After I investigate the situation with the Crimson Heaven Falcons, I will immediately give you a response!"
