Lin Yuan was sneering inward at the Vitality Sloth’s name.
When he heard the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s question, he answered without hesitation, “Isn’t that name a little too childish? How is it as nice as your name, Black Pill?”
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen initially wanted to discuss with Lin Yuan its issue with naming seriously.
However, after hearing Lin Yuan’s answer, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen decided against bringing up its issue.
It only swayed its skirt woefully in the depths of Lin Yuan’s soul.
If he comes up with something strange during our discussion, he might change my name again.
Lin Yuan could feel the vitality reinvigorating him. He felt as energized as if he had just slept for two days straight.
Lin Yuan praised Hu Quan’s Vitality Sloth to himself.
Hu Quan noticed the way that Lin Yuan was looking at the Vitality Sloth. He forcefully carried the snoring Vitality Sloth and said carefully, “As a Creation Master, you should know how difficult it was for the Vitality Sloth to inject you with vitality. Don’t you come up with any ideas for my baby Vitality Sloth from now on.”
Lin Yuan had initially planned to burn the midnight oil that night and bring the ingredients he had picked with Liu Jie, along with Chu Ci, up to Leaning Moon Mountain the next morning.
Lin Yuan had been afraid that he would be more tired than usual the next morning because of his previous night’s hard work.
Now that he had Hu Quan’s help, Lin Yuan no longer needed to be worried about lacking energy the next day.
Listen and Zhou Luo only returned after 11 o’clock at night.
They sat down and had a cup of tea.
“Young Master, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce has taken over a significant amount of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s resources.
“I asked Fei Qianqiong to transfer the resources which are poorer in quality and which will cause us to make a loss over to the other factions. Since selling off these resources, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce has started transforming luxury goods.
“However, their sponsor, the Zheng family, has stopped providing them with resources.
“According to Fei Qianqiong, Bi Chengxiong, and Bi Chenghu are very worried. Bi Chenghu has already gone to Indigo Azure City to contact the Zheng family’s third lineage.
“He handed management of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce to his brother, who is a hedonistic layabout that does not care about the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.
“Fei Qianqiong is in charge of handling most of the matters regarding the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce,” said Listen to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan did not voice his thoughts about Listen’s report.
“Handle it however you see fit,” said Lin Yuan.
When Lin Yuan instructed Listen to continue managing the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, he had planned on taking a hands-off supervision role.
Wen Yu had already told Lin Yuan about the recent tussles between the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.
With the help of Fei Qianqiong as their spy, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was continuously eating away at the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s roots.
Lin Yuan was gaining more and more faith in Listen’s capabilities.
Listen’s eyes lit up when he heard what Lin Yuan said.
After going to Indigo Azure City, Listen now knew what was going on with that patch of coastal sea.
Listen had started to wonder if the deaths of his elders were not accidental after the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce gave the resources belonging to the Creation Masters that they had taken from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to the Zheng family’s third lineage.
From the moment that Jiao Hanzhong called out the Sea Burial Lotus Flower’s name to slander Lin Yuan, Listen had become certain that everything that had happened to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was related to the Zheng family.
After learning the truth, Listen could step out of the storm of doubt and conflict. Once his doubt and conflict were gone, Listen was left with hatred for the remaining members of the Zheng family.
“Young Master, since you were unconscious for some time, I have been secretly expanding the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. I haven’t had the chance to sell the goods mixed with jade-textured wood powder. We’ve accumulated a large number now, and I think it’s time to display them. However, if we display these luxury goods as regular goods, we won’t be able to gain the greatest profit. As such, I want to sell them through an auction.”
Listen’s idea was inspired by Lin Yuan’s auction of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls on Star Web.
Due to their rarity and beauty, the non-useful elemental pearls with inner radiance had been auctioned off at inflated prices. It was an attractive concept. Thus, Listen wanted to create a brand with the large number of luxury goods that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had stored up.
He wanted to earn the maximum profits off them by packaging them to the nines.
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment after hearing Listen’s proposal.
“Since you want to conduct an auction, are you going to hold it in real-life or on Star Web?”
It was clear that Listen had his own plan in mind.
“I plan on auctioning them off in a live-streaming room on Star Web. A host will introduce these luxury items continuously the entire day.
“Uncle Hu has already set up the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. The Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen created unique designs for every item. Instead of selling them in bulk, each item will only be sold at a high price to the person who appreciates their unique beauty.
“Although it might be a slow start and the initial low participant rates could drive down the bids, I believe that the live-streaming room will gain steam and improve tremendously with time.
“I’ve found a store in the busy district of the Royal Capital. We can also select some of the luxury goods to sell there using the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and the Heavenly Craft Pavilion’s reputation,” replied Listen.
Hu Quan’s eyes lit up after he heard what Listen had said.
Although Hu Quan had created the Heavenly Craft Pavilion out of service to Lin Yuan, he was more than happy to see the place become reputable. Otherwise, he would not have had the idea to create the Heavenly Craft Pavilion in the first place.
He had also put a lot of thought into how he could boost the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to fame.
Unfortunately, Hu Quan’s mind was only suited to crafting, and it lacked the skills to think about anything else.
But with Listen’s idea, Hu Quan’s problem had been resolved.
The Heavenly Craft Pavilion only needed to produce luxury goods daily, and the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce would take care of the rest.
Lin Yuan had not expected Listen to be so ambitious to want to tackle both online and offline.
However, whether it was a live stream auction on Star Web or a real-life auction, it would not be a success without some cornerstone items.
