Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2869

Based on the way Spring addressed Lin Yuan, it showed that he held an extremely high status. It was unlikely that Jin Chen had ever interacted with such a figure before.

Jin Chen never expected Lin Yuan to be a Holy Spirit expert! Was it actually possible for a lifeform to reach the Holy Spirit level in less than 100 years? This went beyond Jin Chen's comprehension.

If a lifeform could reach the Holy Spirit level in less than 100 years, what level would they reach 1,000 or even 10,000 years later?

Fellow Holy Spirit experts were aware of how high the barrier of crossing the Holy Spirit level was.

Jin Chen did not want to lose his chance with this person when another special honored guest arrived.

Jin Chen hurriedly said, "I can release my holy spirit now. But I hope that you will give me the appropriate dignity once I become your follower! I do not want to be humiliated in front of others."

Lin Yuan nodded seriously and said, "Of course. I won't trample over my subordinates' dignity. Once you are under my control, I will regard you as my companion. I won't give you orders unless necessary. But you must be aware of your own identity. Do not make things difficult for me. I'm sure you'll like our friendly relationship! All you need to do is follow me, and I won't let you suffer!"

Jin Chen did not believe what Lin Yuan said, but he knew that it did not matter whether he believed him or not. In the future, all decisions would be determined by Lin Yuan.

Jin Chen was definitely unwilling to be controlled by others. But he knew that this girl next to him would not give him such a chance.

Jin Chen released his holy spirit before looking at Lin Yuan.

Jin Chen still did not fully believe that Lin Yuan had reached the Holy Spirit level. However, his holy spirit had already injected its aura into his holy spirit. His holy spirit was now restrained.

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye. This allowed Jin Chen to understand that Lin Yuan had not recently reached the Holy Spirit level. It was likely he had reached the Holy Spirit level some time ago and had already attained a very high level. How else could an imprint be placed on his holy spirit so swiftly?

He had been a free man before he entered the meeting room. Now, he had a master.

Luckily, Jin Chen was a Sky Radish Endless Vine who did not have any kinship with the other members of his species. He only had to look out for himself!

At first, the eight beast species experts were only following Jin Chen. But now that Jin Chen had fallen under Lin Yuan's control, the eight experts were under Lin Yuan's control as well.

However, after learning of Spring and Lin Yuan's powers, the eight experts were not upset about this development at all. Rather, they were overjoyed. They now had an even stronger source of support.

The eight experts all had their own species. It was possible that their species would be able to receive benefits from this mysterious young man in the future.

"Don't worry. I also have eight followers and know what a follower needs to do. I will do my best as a follower. You must feel my sincerity!"

Jin Chen moved to stand behind Lin Yuan as one of his followers but was stopped by Lin Yuan.

"There's no need to let Zhan Lu know that you've become my follower. You can return to your original seat and do what you need to do! Everything else can be discussed once this matter is settled. I will need a lot of help from you then!"

Apart from Jin Chen's bloodline and power, Lin Yuan was just as interested in his experience and knowledge.

Lin Yuan needed an opportunity to broaden his horizons, and he would not be able to achieve this by reading books. But if Genius used Connected Tails to learn and share Jin Chen's knowledge, Lin Yuan would be able to achieve his aim easily!

With Jin Chen's breadth of knowledge and information, it would be easier for Genius to organize the contents of the books as well.

Genius would encounter many conflicting pieces of information when sorting through the records written by the chambers of commerce. This would make it much more difficult for Genius to organize the contents.

Because of conflicting information, it would be difficult for Genius to consolidate a significant portion of the information.

Lin Yuan would not recklessly ask Genius to use Connected Tails to link up with other experts. If Genius linked up with stronger experts, it would inevitably encounter risks.

Lin Yuan needed to put an end to all such risks. Hence, it would be best if an expert like Jin Chen, who was fully under Lin Yuan's control, supplemented Sky City's knowledge bank.

Frankly, even if Genius did not use Connected Tails to learn Jin Chen's memories and knowledge, the contents of the books would be sufficient to enable Sky City to assimilate into the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

It might even be enough for Sky City to attain an equal level of information as other factions.

"Haven't you realized that as you continue to absorb more of your species members' bloodlines, tapping into your own bloodline becomes more complex and difficult? Don't you also feel more tired after circulating your bloodline?"

Jin Chen had yet to absorb many of his species members' bloodlines. Hence, he had not noticed any of the drawbacks yet.

But after the past few instances, Jin Chen did sense that circulating his bloodline did not come as easily to him as before. Jin Chen always assumed that his feeling was mistaken. But after hearing what Spring said, he knew that his feeling had been accurate.

But Spring must have asked him this question because she knew the answer!

"Your Excellency, how are you aware of my body condition? I have indeed been feeling those symptoms recently!"

This matter concerned his bloodline, and Jin Chen was very serious and anxious about this matter.

Spring did not beat around the bush and replied directly, "Since you've already noticed something yourself, I don't think you'll doubt what I'm about to say next!

"When you absorb the bloodlines of other members of your species to increase the strength of your own bloodline, you are not only bastardizing your own bloodline but also increasing the amount of impurities in your bloodline.

"The impurities from their bloodline aren't the same as the ones in your own bloodline, so it's extremely difficult to remove them. You are still able to evolve your bloodline with such impurities present, but your control over your bloodline will be increasingly affected!"

Astonishment bloomed on Jin Chen's face when he heard what Spring said. But at the same time, he understood the meaning behind Spring's words.

At that moment, Jin Chen no longer dared to aspire to continue consuming the bloodlines of other members of his species in order to increase his power.

However, his bloodline had already been affected. This was an urgent issue to Jin Chen, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, how do I remove the impurities from my bloodline? It must be very difficult, but there should be a way, right?"

Spring said with utmost seriousness, "Of course, there's a way. However, it will come at a high cost to you. You will need to burn your own bloodline and sacrifice that part of your bloodline to force the impurities out of your body!

"Keep in mind that if you don't want to waste even more of your bloodline, it will be better for you to remove the impurities as soon as possible! I don't know how many impurities are in your bloodline and how much bloodline you'll need to sacrifice. No one knows this better than you."

Spring had experienced this before, so she knew what needed to be done to remove the impurities from one's bloodline. It was not a price that most people could afford!

But if this was not done, his future development would be impacted to an indeterminable extent.

If Spring had not removed the impurities from her body, her power would be far below that of Summer, Autumn, and Winter now!

She was being very benevolent by saying all that she had to Jin Chen. It was now up to Jin Chen what he did next!

At that moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a girl with beautiful long brown hair walked in.

Based on her features, her beauty had a similar aura to that of Kani. However, Kani's aura was colder and more merciless. This girl's beauty was more feminine and gentle.

But the scheming glint in her eye tarnished the beauty she emanated!

Lin Yuan thought, Everyone should be here now. But Zhan Lu won't be here so soon.

It was likely that Zhan Lu had predicted that the special honor guests would begin fighting and did not want to be involved. Hence, he left sufficient time for the special honor guests to finish their fight. Once they were done, he would step in to handle the tail end of the matter. This would save him significant trouble.

Jin Chen was extremely displeased with this girl.

He was in the middle of asking Spring something important. This girl just so happened to interrupt their conversation.

It seemed that he would only be able to ask Spring about the impurities in his bloodline once this matter was over!

There was a petite and short-haired girl behind this girl, as well as two elderly men.

Once the girl with long brown hair took a seat, the female attendant began surveying Jin Chen, Lin Yuan, and the rest.

Lin Yuan did not say anything, but Jin Chen instantly exploded with rage. "What are you looking at? What gives you the right to look around?"
