Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Due to Sky Sea's Lashing Spirit Tail Wings, it could naturally gather spirit qi around itself. This allowed the carvings made from jade-textured wood to be nourished by spirit qi and shine with a soft amber glow. Anyone covered by the amber would be put in a state of utmost comfort and relaxation.

Everyone looked around their surroundings.

It turned out that this was Sky City's headquarters! This was going to be their home from now on!

Wen Yu, who managed Sky City, quickly returned to her senses. After spending such a long time by Lin Yuan's side, her shock tolerance had risen significantly from its original level.

When she first joined Lin Yuan, she was shocked numerous times daily. But now, she had been with Lin Yuan for almost 20 years. If she was still not used to it by now, it would mean that there was something wrong with her abilities.

Wen Yu assigned Sky City's 500 combat sequence and 1,500 reserve sequence white-clothed followers to their individual rooms.

At first, Hu Quan was troubled after learning of the number of people who would be staying in Sky City. He was perplexed over how to best construct the 2,000 rooms in a way that would not be cramped.

At that time, Hu Quan had yet to see Sky Sea's true self. Although he knew of Sky Sea's existence, he thought of it as nothing more than a larger Island Whale. But once he saw Sky Sea's true self, Hu Quan knew that his worries had been for naught.

The over 2,000 members of Sky City could live comfortably on Sky Sea's back. There was more than enough space on Sky Sea's spacious back to make each room 200 square meters large. Later, Sky Sea evolved to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, and the size of its back increased again.

Hu Quan decided to turn the Sky City he had constructed previously into the main palace that was open to the public. He then constructed two other smaller palaces behind the main palace. They were the Follower City and Reserve City.

The Follower City would only house the combat sequence white-clothed followers and came with completed self-care and nutrition facilities. There were also many areas for battling and sparring. The Follower City was looked after by 500 Deposit Vegetable Pods in human form. They served as personal butlers to the white-clothed followers.

The Follower City and Reserve City were of a similar size. The Reserve City housed the 1,500 reserve sequence members. They did not have any Deposit Vegetable Pods to serve them. However, they had all the same facilities.

The difference between the Follower City and Reserve City was enough to ignite the fighting spirit of the combat sequence and reserve sequence members. The combat sequence white-clothed followers would try hard to preserve their position, while the reserve sequence members tried their best to improve their standing.

The Spirit Craftsmen under Hu Quan had carved many jade-textured wooden materials over the years. Hu Quan had placed these jade-textured wood carvings in the Follower City and Reserve City's storage rooms.

Wen Yu took out these ornaments that were extremely valuable in the main world and placed them in the rooms of the combat sequence and reserve sequence white-clothed followers. Wen Yu had an extremely strong execution ability and settled everything quickly.

The rooms belonging to Lin Yuan and the other main members of Sky City were all in the four tall towers that rose above the main structure.

From the outside, these four towers looked white. The interior could not be seen at all. But from the inside, it seemed transparent. From within the four towers, the expansive sky and stars could be seen with utmost clarity. Frankly, most of the main members of Sky City spent the majority of their time in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

The Spirit Lock spatial zone continuously grew larger, and Lin Yuan could keep it perfectly hidden. By living in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, they could be ensconced in pure spirit qi. The key members of Sky City could thereby increase their power.

However, it went without saying that once one reached the Divine Kingdom level, one needed faith power as well as pure spirit qi to increase their strength. Faith power was what enabled divine kingdoms to evolve.

Once they got to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan would have to find ways to collect faith power. When it came to collecting faith power, even Lin Yuan had to be envious of Keira.

The demon insects that Keira produced were able to supply faith to Keira, regardless of their class of Genetic Lock. This made it easy for Keira to evolve her divine kingdom rapidly. The evolution of Keira's divine kingdom was related to the size of its demon insect army.

Hence, Keira's mind was full of ideas for expanding her insect army. In the main world, Keira's ideas were curbed by Lin Yuan. However, Lin Yuan intended to allow Keira to go wild once they arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Su Yiren and Luo Lan could not help but gaze out into the distance. The two of them were rulers of federations and had to overcome significant emotional turmoil before deciding to leave with Lin Yuan.

For the past tens of years, they had invested all their efforts into governing the Iron Hammer Federation and the Darkness and Sand Island Continents. It was only to be expected that they were reluctant.

However, it went without saying that aside from reluctance, the feelings of hope for a brighter future were stronger. The two of them intended to have a good talk with Lin Yuan in the Sky Beyond the Clouds to see how they could be of help!

Su Yiren and Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds for the sake of their development and did not want to be relegated to the sidelines. Rather, Bei Xu felt extremely relaxed.

Bei Xu never formed many ties. Ever since he was saved by Lin Yuan, the latter became his guiding light.

Bei Xu's greatest hope was to be able to remain by Lin Yuan's side, and he had accomplished this.

Bei Xu had a strong urge to grow stronger but was not as lost as Liu Jie had been in the past. He very happy with his step-by-step improvement.

…

Lin Yuan sipped on the Three Treasures Tea that Wen Yu had brewed and waited for Winter to contact him. Spring, Summer, and Autumn stood next to him. The three of them knew that Lin Yuan would only be able to truly spread his wings once he left the Class 2 world for the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

A thought struck Lin Yuan, and he called Blood Love over. He told Blood Love to tell Spring, Summer, and Autumn about her divine kingdom ability. Next, Lin Yuan summoned the Merciful Star Peony.

Spring, Summer, and Autumn immediately understood Lin Yuan's intention. He wanted to use Blood Love and the Merciful Star Peony to temper their bodies.

Tempering their bodies was the best way to refine their bodies. Regular tempering techniques did not have much effect on them. However, this method of using the energy of celestial bodies to temper their bodies was extremely effective.

Lin Yuan always thought about the rest of them when he obtained resources.

Spring, Summer, and Autumn could not help but think back to how they were cultivated by that noble figure many epochs ago.

Autumn was the first to speak. "Young Master, this method of tempering is useful for all of us. While you're using the Merciful Star Peony's star power to temper us, we can use our bodies to adjust our tolerances and feed back a tolerable amount of star power to you. This way, you'll be able to temper your body without worrying that the star power will damage your body!"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

That was great! He could now temper his body sooner than before!

While Lin Yuan was interacting with Spring, Summer, and Autumn, Blood Love and the Merciful Star Peony obediently sat on chairs next to Lin Yuan.

The two of them knew how strong Spring, Summer, and Autumn were. With their powers, Blood Love and Merciful Star Peony were extremely respectful to them despite also being Lin Yuan's subordinates.

…

It did not take long for Lin Yuan to receive a message from Winter.

The tunnel's setup was done and could be used for teleportation at any moment.

Due to the protection from the Four Seasons Mountain, teleportation over such a distance would not cause any discomfort.

However, they could not be certain of where they would end up after the teleportation.

Lin Yuan immediately sent out the order for Winter to begin the teleportation.

Prior to the teleportation, Lin Yuan summoned Gray and Dark Blue back to the Spirit Lock spatial zone. This would reduce some of the energy depletion required for the teleportation.

Soon, Lin Yuan sensed an energy enveloping Sky Sea.

He felt Sky Sea shake a few times.

It did not take long before Lin Yuan felt the concentration of spirit qi on Sky Sea's back increase substantially. The glow of the fully jade-textured wooden materials also intensified.

Lin Yuan knew that he was headed to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Sky Sea's Lashing Spirit Tail Wings automatically gathered all the spirit qi in the environment.

With the increase of spirit qi in the environment, the concentration of spirit qi on Sky Sea's back naturally rose as well.

Spring released her own aura before saying softly, "Young Master, the area we've been transported to is very quiet. It's not within the territory of any species. However, there are some random fish. Should I go and ask them about the area or remove them?"

When Lin Yuan heard this, he knew that the random fish that Spring spoke of had discovered Sky Sea.

If Lin Yuan wanted to hide Sky Sea's tracks, he would have to seal their lips. Otherwise, it was inevitable for information to leak, regardless of how closed-off the environment was.

However, they had only just arrived, and Lin Yuan felt that scouting out the area would be a better option than unleashing a massacre.

"Spring, bring them over here. I'll ask them about the situation myself. We can learn about the area from them, and it'll make it easier for me to decide where to move Sky Sea that will best suit our development!"

Spring bowed to Lin Yuan before her figure disappeared.

Soon, she brought three back with her as she reappeared in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan sensed the three figures and noticed that none of them had reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. The strongest of them had only just reached Eternal.

Based on Fan Lou and Kong Huan's introduction of the universes in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Eternal lifeforms were seen as outstanding in Class 1 and 2 worlds but were considered mediocre in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

At that moment, the three figures were staring at Lin Yuan timidly.

Although the three of them were not considered strong, they could tell who called the shots.

Spring had not employed any overly threatening methods, yet she had managed to scare the three of them. They now knew that this group of people could easily put an end to their lives.

The three of them had never seen such interior design before. It was far too opulent!

Lin Yuan gently knocked the table twice, and his pleasant voice rang out in the three figures' ears, "It looks like the three of you have been living here all this time. You must have an understanding of the environment here. I would like you to tell me all about this place."

The three of them looked startled when they heard what Lin Yuan said. It was clear that they did not understand what he had said.

Lin Yuan attempted to speak to them in the language of the Alluring Foxes but received the same reaction.

Lin Yuan had learned the East Universe's lingua franca from Kong Huan and Fan Lou.

Fan Lou did not carry the legacy of any species.

Kong Huan was an Alluring Fox, and Lin Yuan had taken the opportunity to learn the Alluring Fox's language.

However, neither of the two languages worked on the three of them.

Given that the three of them did not even know the East Universe's lingua franca, it meant that this was an extremely remote place.

Lin Yuan summoned Genius.

The three figures watched as Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a cat with 12 tails materialized in his arms. They could not help but gasp simultaneously and begin mumbling something under their breath.

Lin Yuan shot a look at Spring to signal her to suppress them.

Next, Lin Yuan nodded at Genius.

Genius used Connected Tails to link Lin Yuan and the three figures.

Lin Yuan was currently a pinnacle spirit fire expert and was only a step away from reaching the Divine Kingdom level. He was sufficiently powerful to suppress these three native lifeforms from the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Hence, Lin Yuan could use Connected Tails to take in all of the knowledge and life experience of these three figures.

It did not take long for realization to spread across Lin Yuan's face.

The three of them used to live in a village. The village's head would go out to search for homeless lifeforms to take them in and protect them.

However, they needed to worship a stone statue to live in the village. If they failed to provide faith power to the stone statue for more than ten years, they would be chased out of the village.

The three of them had been simultaneously expelled from the village. They then escaped to this place and have been settled here for the past ten years.

The three of them knew very little about this place.

Despite being uninhabited, the three of them did not have any trouble filling their bellies.

From the perspective of those who laid about and did nothing, the three of them led cushy lives.

It seemed that he would have to approach the head of that village in order to glean any information about this place!

Given that they needed to supply faith to that stone statue, it meant that the village head was likely under the thumb of a World Emperor/Divine Kingdom expert.

Lin Yuan had heard from Kong Huan that many species created storage stones to accumulate faith power. An expert only needed to place their soul imprint on the storage stone to mark the storage stone with their spiritual attribute. They would then be able to extract the faith power in the storage stones to strengthen themselves.

The three of them knew very little, but they did enable Lin Yuan to understand some of the common knowledge and norms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Lin Yuan could now disguise himself and pass for a native of the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Among the common knowledge that he learned, Lin Yuan was most interested in the concept of spirit contractors.
