Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 299: Scorching Elemental Shellfish Settled

This completely jade-textured green elm was much bigger than the jade-textured green elm that Gao Feng’s grandfather had used to carve the picture of thousands of mountains and hidden peaks.

Gao Feng realized that Lin Yuan would always be able to bring out such a precious item so indifferently and calmly.

Lin Yuan used his hand to knock on this completely jade-textured green elm before he asked Gao Feng, “What do you think of the quality of this completely jade-textured green elm that weighs 250kg?”

Gao Feng was startled at first before he started to look at this completely jade-textured green elm with eyes of disbelief. Since Lin Yuan said it was 250kg, it meant that it wouldn’t be less than that.

How could this huge piece of completely jade-textured green elm not be the best quality of goods?

As Gao Feng carefully observed, he took a tool out of his flower petal-shaped fey storage box. This tool was specifically used to measure if the wood was completely jade-textured.

Gao Feng felt that this world was simply too insane. However, it still put a smile on his face. Gao Feng instantly felt that if he could purchase this completely jade-textured green elm and gave it as a gift to his grandfather as a New Year’s gift, his grandfather would certainly be overjoyed.

Gao Feng might be the only direct line descendant of Wind Mist City’s prestigious Gao family, but he still felt that this was rather troublesome.

This superior jade-textured green elm wasn’t something that could be traded with regular items.

Gao Feng might be able to use the Gao family’s resources as he desired since he was the direct line descendant, but he didn’t wish to use the Gao family’s shared resources to purchase a New Year’s gift for his grandfather.

Therefore, even if Gao Feng could use the Gao family’s resources, he still wanted to pay for this jade-textured green elm from his own little vault.

As a direct line descendant of a prestigious family, since a young age, be it Gao Feng’s birthday or New Year’s, the seniors would always shower him with plenty of great gifts. Therefore, Gao Feng’s little vault was rather ample.

In Gao Feng’s opinion, if he used the family’s shared resources to trade for this completely jade-textured green elm, he would be lacking in filial piety.

Gao Feng asked carefully, “Brother, I wonder what are you planning to trade this completely jade-textured green elm for?”

Lin Yuan responded with a sunshine smile. Lin Yuan enjoyed dealing with people like Gao Feng, who wouldn’t try to beat around the bush. Therefore, Lin Yuan went straight to the point and spoke of his plan.

“I wish to have a Scorching Elemental Shellfish.”

Once Lin Yuan said his terms, Gao Feng’s expression immediately turned bitter.

“Brother, the price of a Scorching Elemental Shellfish isn’t as low as an infant Elemental Shellfish! Even if you have three pieces of the same quality jade-textured green elm, you will never be able to trade for one Scorching Elemental Shellfish.”

Elemental Shellfish’s mutations required pure spirit qi to nourish. In order to obtain that trace of very pure spirit qi to mutate an Elemental Shellfish, even Class 4 Creation Masters would need to use plenty of spiritual ingredients and other costs to do so.

Therefore, any mutated Elemental Shellfish had a price that was incomparable with infant Elemental Shellfish.

Previously when Gao Feng had used four infant Elemental Shellfish from the Gao family to trade for the Bronze/Epic fey, it had already attracted attention from plenty of people in the family.

As for Elemental Shellfish, even though the Gao family was prestigious and wealthy enough, it still wasn’t something that anyone could make use of so easily. However, when the Gao family saw that Gao Feng had traded for a Bronze/Epic Yellow Spring Lily, no one else had said anything.

Nonetheless, to use a Scorching Elemental Shellfish to trade for this completely jade-textured green elm was something that Gao Feng couldn’t decide on his own even if he treated Lin Yuan as a friend, and also considering friendship and value.

After hearing Gao Feng’s response, Lin Yuan roughly knew of Gao Feng’s bottom line. He immediately said, “I can use three pieces of the same quality, jade-textured green elm to trade with one infant Elemental Shellfish.”

When Lin Yuan gave the proposal, Gao Feng, who was going to refuse, was now in a dilemma again. The price just happened to be in between Gao Feng’s gray area where he could accept or refuse.

In Gao Feng’s opinion, this was a price that he could choose to trade or not. However, Gao Feng didn’t have any infant Elemental Shellfish right now. Also, if he wanted to obtain one, he would need to use some favors and connections.

Finally, Gao Feng gritted his teeth and asked, “Brother, you have been trading for infant Elemental Shellfish. Do you need a single-attribute Elemental Shellfish to nurture feys?”

For such deals where it was in between the gray area, a descendant of a prestigious family like Gao Feng would normally refuse. After all, if there was no profit or too little profit, it was the same as working hard for nothing.

But it was different if Gao Feng treated Lin Yuan as a friend. Gao Feng always had one principle—always offer help to people he defined as friends.

Lin Yuan didn’t hide anything and nodded. “That’s right. I really need the Elemental Shellfish to nurture feys.”

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s reply, Gao Feng immediately said, “Brother, our Gao family doesn’t have any more infant Elemental Shellfish, but I should be able to obtain one. Once I obtain an infant Elemental Shellfish, I will inform you. By then, we can make the trade.”

Gao Feng was very sincere, and Lin Yuan nodded in response.

It seemed like when Gao Feng said that the Gao family was only left with four infant Elemental Shellfish, it wasn’t just an excuse. They were really left with only four infant Elemental Shellfish.

However, if Gao Feng, the only direct line descendant of the Gao family, used his connections, it wouldn’t be impossible to obtain an infant Elemental Shellfish.

This was something that Lin Yuan was incomparable with Gao Feng.

Although Lin Yuan’s resource chain had yet to be fully established, Gao Feng was now also considered part of Lin Yuan’s resource chain.

Earlier on, when Lin Yuan had asked to trade for a Scorching Elemental Shellfish, he wanted to test out Gao Feng’s bottom line.

If Gao Feng was really willing to use the Scorching Elemental Shellfish to trade with Lin Yuan by asking for more resources, Lin Yuan wouldn’t have agreed.

The purer the spirit qi used when mutating the Elemental Shellfish, the purer the pearls the Scorching Elemental Shellfish would be able to produce.

For a fey like the Scorching Elemental Shellfish, Lin Yuan was willing to personally mutate an infant Elemental Shellfish. After all, the purity of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone wasn’t something that Creation Masters could produce even with the concoction of spirit fluid.

Not even the Class 5 Creation Master, Bamboo Monarch, would be able to achieve the same results.

Therefore, only when Lin Yuan mutated the Scorching Elemental Shellfish himself would allow for the best pearls.
