Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2898

The Moon Empress paused before she continued. "Little Yuan, although there have been no issues with Sky City or the faith country, you still need to make decisions on some matters."

Lin Yuan relaxed. The Moon Empress was sufficient to manage Sky City.

Wen Yu, Su Yiren, and the rest could ask her for advice if they encountered any issues.

The Moon Empress said she needed to ask him something. This meant that it was an issue on which she could not decide.

Lin Yuan was in no rush to ask the Moon Empress about the matter she needed his opinion on. Instead, he greeted her, "Master, how have you been? I found a fey that is very suited for you. All you need to do is contract and nurture this fey, and your entire combat system, as well as the way you wield your feys, will undergo an enormous positive transformation!"

The Moon Empress looked surprised. She was acutely aware of her feys, and she could not imagine the kind of fey that would enable her entire system to improve!

The Moon Empress did not think of Lin Yuan as a braggart.

"Little Yuan, everything has been well. Make sure to take care of your safety and never put yourself at risk!"

The Moon Empress cared more about Lin Yuan's safety than the fey Lin Yuan mentioned.

Lin Yuan felt a wave of warm fuzziness wash over him when he heard the Moon Empress' reminder.

Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress chatted idly for a while. She knew that he had many things on his plate. Otherwise, he would have returned long ago!

Lin Yuan was a very responsible person and would never toss aside an establishment as large as Sky City.

"Little Yuan, after you left, the Spinning Wings White Falcon's envoy group went to the King Blood Jackals' territory. They were far from pleasant and tested the King Blood Jackals' limits constantly. You took the King Blood Jackal Queen away, and the two female King Blood Jackals who were left behind in her stead were unable to tackle the Spinning Wings White Falcon envoy group.

"I sent Autumn to investigate the Spinning Wings White Falcons' situation and eliminated all but one of them. The Spinning Wings White Falcons should be trying to talk to the King Blood Jackals about this, but they haven't done so. As the Crimson Heaven Falcons' dependent species, the Spinning Wings White Falcons have their full backing!

"I can't shake the feeling that the Spinning Wings White Falcons have something else up their sleeves and that the Crimson Heaven Falcons are involved as well. We have to be prepared! These two species will eventually become a headache for Sky City!"

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement. He found what the Moon Empress said to be right.

The Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons had always been next to the King Blood Jackals' territory. The Spinning Wings White Falcons, in particular, bordered the King Blood Jackals' territory.

Even if the Spinning Wings White Falcons did not cause trouble for Sky City, the latter would need to go past the Spinning Wings White Falcons to expand!

This was the only way that Sky City would be able to obtain a large amount of resources.

Lin Yuan could obtain high-quality resources from elsewhere, but he needed to nurture basic necessities in the Lonely River.

The faith country had only just begun to grow and could not afford any losses or damage.

The faith country would be able to grow rapidly once the King Blood Jackals and Crimson Heaven Falcons' territories were conquered.

In order to obtain faith power, not only did the faith country need to expand, but its citizens' supply of faith needed to increase as well.

The best way to increase the production of faith power was to raise the citizens' happiness.

Lin Yuan had nurtured a large amount of the Soldier Ration Radishes in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and given them to the Moon Empress.

She found an area within the King Blood Jackals' territory with a suitable environment and filled it with a large amount of marsh soil before planting the Soldier Ration Radishes in the fertile soil.

The concentration of spirit qi was much higher in the Sky Beyond the Clouds than in the main world. Although the Soldier Ration Radishes would not grow as quickly in the Sky Beyond the Clouds as they did in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, they would still spread out up to six to seven meters every second, and their vines would grow by more than 200 meters daily.

A Soldier Ration Radish had six to seven vines. These Soldier Ration Radishes were sufficient to feed the faith country and were considered the foundation of the faith country. There was no way that the faith country would be able to develop successfully without the Soldier Ration Radishes.

Keeping the citizens fed was only part of basic survival. It did not do much to help raise the happiness of the citizens.

When Lin Yuan first went to the Divine Wood Federation, he saw the Item-Storing Walnuts as a business opportunity. The Divine Wood Federation did manage to amass enormous wealth by selling low-grade and high-quality Item-Storing Walnuts. Eventually, the Item-Storing Walnuts became the resource that Lin Yuan used to travel through the Space Tunnel. But in truth, the Item-Storing Walnut's real value lay in its item-storing ability.

The Item-Storing Walnut Tree had a high production yield in the main world, and the same went for the Sky Beyond the Clouds!

Lin Yuan intended to provide every family in the faith country with an Item-Storing Walnut. This would enable them to increase their income and obtain even more Soldier Ration Radishes.

Listen had promised Lin Yuan that he would open the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce in the faith country within three years to enable goods to flow freely within the faith country!

Ever since he established the faith country, Lin Yuan had more than just Sky City under his belt.

Lin Yuan could provide all the resources needed to maintain a faction with tens of main members and a total membership of fewer than 5,000 people.

However, the faith country had a mammoth population of more than 100 billion. Lin Yuan could not be the sole provider of resources. The faith country needed to be self-sufficient!

Once the happiness and safety within the faith country reached a certain level, Lin Yuan would pick a few talented people to become the faith country's protectors.

With these plans and arrangements, both the Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons would have to be eliminated!

After his trip, Lin Yuan learned that despite the Sky Beyond the Clouds' vastness, even the smallest of areas with an abundance of resources would house multiple species. The species would fight and plunder for the sake of the resources.

Lin Yuan was glad that he had arrived at North of the Lonely River first. Although North of the Lonely River lacked resources, it was a large incubator from which Lin Yuan would be able to obtain faith!

"Master, Autumn and Spring are extremely strong. If the Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons really try anything, the two of them will definitely protect Sky City. You don't have to worry! I am already aware of the Crimson Heaven Falcons.

"I haven't sent Spring and Autumn after the Crimson Heaven Falcons because I want to learn their motives and because it won't do the faith country any good to experience disruption so soon after its establishment."

The Moon Empress relaxed upon hearing Lin Yuan's words—they indicated his decision. Now, she knew what orders to give if problems truly arose.

"Little Yuan, Little Yu, and Yiren have much to report to you. I won't take up too much of your time. Let's keep it brief. There's something else you need to know. There is a powerful species southwest of the King Blood Jackals' territory. These lifeforms have large bodies, much larger than the three Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards you gave me!

"Keira discovered them while scouting the environment and attempting to expand the demon insects. This species is very territorial. They refused to leave even when invaded by the demon insects. They stood their ground and attacked the demon insects to drive them out of their territory. I think this species will be very helpful for Sky City's development!"

Lin Yuan had been trying to devise a way to bolster the faith country's defensive power. There weren't many other lifeforms north of the Lonely River. However, Lin Yuan couldn't be certain that news of the faith country would never leak.

Once news of the faith country leaked, many factions would zero in on this tantalizing opportunity!

The powerful species in the Sky Beyond the Clouds would all desire to obtain the faith country's power.

In any case, the highly tempting faith country needed to be armed!

Lin Yuan surmised what the Moon Empress was worrying about. She had not attacked this species because she was concerned that using Sky City's forces would allow the Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons to take advantage of the situation.

Additionally, using force to take control of these species, where every member could be used as a moving fortress, would not gain their loyalty.

Moving this species into the King Blood Jackals' territory would be difficult to manage.

But if they continued living in their original territory, the Moon Empress worried they would flee and abandon them once the faith country expanded!

"Master, I will return to Sky City within a year. At that time, I will personally lead a group to make contact with that species."

The Moon Empress said with a smile, "Now that I've informed you of both matters and you've come to a decision on both, there's nothing else I need to worry about!"

A weight lifted off the Moon Empress' shoulders, and she spoke lightheartedly.

Lin Yuan also smiled brightly upon hearing her happy voice.

Spring and Winter had not seen Lin Yuan reveal his row of pearly teeth in a while.

Kani was slightly startled to see Lin Yuan smiling. In his Bloodian form, his features were even more chiseled, and his aura of eliteness magnified significantly! With such an aura and features, his smile was harmonious and suited him very well.

If Lin Yuan had not been without the Bloodian bloodline when she first encountered him, she would have assumed that he came from an ancient elite Bloodian clan.

It was said that when a Bloodian transformed into a queen, even a male would change gender to female.

What would Master look like as a Bloodian queen?

With this thought, Kani scolded herself and resumed her usual expression.

Lin Yuan knew that after he left, the Moon Empress would rack her brains to protect and supervise Sky City.

"Master, you don't have to handle the trivial matters yourself. Let Wen Yu and Liu Jie handle them. You should rest! I should be reaching the divine kingdom level soon. Once I return, I'll help you increase your power!"

Lin Yuan had helped the Moon Empress increase her power in the past. It was no longer a secret to Sky City's key members that he could help others increase their powers.

Currently, the Moon Empress was the only one who had the authority to manage Sky City in his stead!

When Lin Yuan thought of helping others increase their powers, the Moon Empress was naturally the first person to come to his mind.

When Lin Yuan traded resources in Fortune Treasure Palace, he had basically emptied the place.

With the support from these resources, he was confident that he would be able to help the Moon Empress become a Holy Spirit Realm expert.

The Moon Empress and Lin Yuan did not chat for long, and she forced herself to put aside her concern for him. After all, she had already given him the advice she needed to as his Master. It would be better not to take up too much of his time.

When Liu Jie received news through the communication fey, Wen Yu and Su Yiren received it as well. The two of them were going mad with impatience!

Aside from Kani, Spring, and Winter, Blood Love, who was Lin Yuan's Path Protector, had left Sky City with him.

However, due to her bloodline, Blood Love fell into a deep sleep not long after they left and had been lying in a mimicked state in Lin Yuan's hair all this time.

Blood Love did not even wake up during the storm in Treasure City.

Now that they were at the Scarlet Territory and she was being nourished by the concentrated blood energy, Blood Love moved her two forelegs.

Lin Yuan sensed this. Just as he was about to check on her, he heard Blood Love's unique and pleasant voice, "Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress hasn't changed at all. She still cares for you as much as ever!"

Blood Love did not know about Lin Yuan's background at first. She only found out from Chu Ci that their parents had died while guarding the Xia Region when Lin Yuan was only eight or nine years old. From that young age, Lin Yuan began supporting himself and his sister. This was very similar to Blood Love's experiences.

Blood Love eventually found her parents and learned what it was like to be loved by parents.

The Moon Empress' presence was akin to a replacement for his parents.

There were some real parents who did not treat their children as well as the Moon Empress treated Lin Yuan, much less teachers!

Lin Yuan smiled but did not respond to what Blood Love said. Instead, he said, "Blood Love, you woke up at just the right time. Your opportunity is here! When we get to the blood pool, you should do your best to absorb the blood energy within the blood pool. Your bloodline should be able to improve."

Blood Love was very stubborn. Despite being a heavenly family fey, she never once thought of giving up her original bloodline and had allowed her original bloodline to coexist with her Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline!

However, Blood Love's mother's bloodline was far too strong. It was much stronger than her father's bloodline.
