Lin Yuan smiled brightly.
The sudden shift in Lin Yuan’s expression made Duan He feel that this masked youth was a cheerful youth even though he could not see his face clearly.
Duan He suddenly heard Lin Yuan say,” You’re not the only one who has to protect everything in the faction. I have to do it too!”
As he spoke, Lin Yuan thought back to how Liu Jie and Zhou Luo had bravely confronted their enemies in the evolving water world dimensional rift.
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and said softly, “I’ll do everything I can to protect everyone in Sky City.”
Lin Yuan’s voice had barely been a whisper, but Duan He could clearly sense the meaning and weight in Lin Yuan’s words.
Although Duan He was not familiar with Sky City, he could tell from the way its leader spoke that Sky City was a warm faction at the very least.
Lin Yuan did not expect himself to fall into such a trove of emotions.
The head of a faction definitely had heavier burdens to bear than the others.
Lin Yuan straightened his posture and said to Duan He, “Senior Duan He, come to the Royal Capital if you have time.”
Duan He extended his arm and awkwardly stroked his beard.
“Young Master, I want to make use of the dimensional rift’s active period to collect more resources. As of now, I only have half the spiritual ingredients needed to evolve both my Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake and Thunderwave Sky Chaos Snail to Myth II.”
Lin Yuan touched the Legend Gold Curtain Peonies’ flowers and replied with a smile, “Since you agreed to join Sky City, the faction will take care of all the spirit ingredients you need other than Law Crystals.”
It was not as easy to gain an emperor-class expert’s loyalty as it was to gain a king-class expert’s.
Any faction, including elite factions, would put their emperor-class expert members on a pedestal.
The faction was sure to provide their emperor-class experts with all their daily necessities.
Lin Yuan was not going to skimp on anything either.
Both the Zheng family and the Divine Wood Federation already had their bows drawn.
With another emperor-class expert in his ranks, Lin Yuan would be able to better handle matters on both ends.
Duan He blinked. He assumed he would only be receiving the benefits that Lin Yuan had mentioned.
Frankly, Duan He was already satisfied with being able to receive pure law power. He did not expect Lin Yuan would be willing to provide the resources he needed to evolve his feys.
He had been courted by veteran factions and elite factions before. However, not one of them had been willing to do the same as Lin Yuan.
Duan He knew that he required many times more the resources of other emperor-class experts. It was not easy for any faction to provide for him.
This blessing came too abruptly!
The thought of being freed from trudging around and being beaten by the elements allowed Duan He to feel a newfound sense of ease.
Duan He thought about how difficult it had been for him to nurture the Unmatchable Bird to the Sword Plume Sea Hawk, yet he had not used it much since.
Duan He felt that it was doable.
It looks like I’ll have to nurture the Sword Plume Sea Hawk as a group-control rather than group-attack type from now on.
Lin Yuan was not stressed by the increased burden of Duan He’s immense resource needs.
The strength of Duan He’s Sea Demon Snake outweighed the cons of the enormous amount of resources it devoured.
The number of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in the Spirit Lock spatial zone were increasing every day.
This was a good way to use them up and raise Sky City’s combat power.
Once Lin Yuan settled things with Duan He, he left Star Web.
Duan He also started rushing toward the Royal Capital.
Given the Diamond X/Fantasy V Sword Plume Sea Hawk, Duan He would only need a day to reach the Royal Capital.
Duan He would be able to sign the contract with Lin Yuan when the latter announced Sky City’s roles on Star Web.
When Lin Yuan walked out of the room, the banquet had already been set up.
Besides the variety of dishes, there was also a jade square platter that was about a meter long in the middle of the table. Various cakes and deserts sat atop the platter.
Only a few of the deserts were exquisitely shaped like various feys. They were very lifelike.
It was obvious that Liu Jie had prepared them. The rest of the slipshod products had to have been made by the others.
After being steamed, the slipshod deserts all looked the same.
Chu Ci, the Mother of Bloodbath, and Endless Summer tried to pick out the desert that they had made.
However, they could not tell the difference no matter how hard they tried.
Lin Yuan saw that Wen Yu looked like a completely different person.
She must have already used the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar to completely cleanse herself.
Soon after, Listen and Zhou Luo returned and took a seat at the table.
Almost everyone was present at the Return from Faraway Mansion.
No one depicted on the feature wall was absent.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment before pulling out a large bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar that he had left in the fey storage box.
He also took out six empty bottles and filled each to the brim with nectar.
Lin Yuan placed a bottle in front of the Mother of Bloodbath, Endless Summer, Liu Jie, Listen, Zhou Luo, and Hu Quan.
Lin Yuan had already given Chu Ci and Wen Yu Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, using it to cleanse their body of impurities.
No matter how much Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar he had, Lin Yuan was reluctant to drink it for sport.
One might be rich, but they should still use items to their best potential.
Chu Ci watched as Lin Yuan poured out the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and immediately thought about what had happened to her after drinking it.
She was about to speak when she saw Hu Quan, who had been toiling over his crafts, and Zhou Luo, who was exhausted and hungry after returning, gulp down the entire bottle of nectar.
Once they were done drinking, Zhou Luo and Hu Quan could not help but give Lin Yuan a thumbs-up as they exclaimed, “This nectar is delicious! Where did you buy it from?”
Wen Yu’s eyelid twitched as she looked at both of them, thinking to herself, Unworthy people will never be able to touch the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar no matter how much they want to or how much they’re willing to spend. How can they ask where it was bought from?
If Leaning Moon Mountain was willing to sell the nectar, even elite factions would scramble and riot in order to obtain it.
Lin Yuan blinked. He did not expect Zhou Luo and Hu Quan to finish drinking the full bottles of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
Lin Yuan hastily said, “Uncle Hu, Big Brother Zhou, the both of you should head to your bathrooms quickly.”
