Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Lin Yuan's words were equivalent to giving Si Xue the assurance that she needed and also verifying Yi He's promise to her. Even though Si Xue wasn't as anxious as Yi He back then, she was already starting to worry about her lifespan. As long as Lin Yuan could solve the problem of her lifespan, Si Xue was willing to help him with other matters.

Si Xue was not like Yi He, who would still restrict herself to various rules even though she had beca Grade 5 Creator. She had always been unrestrained, to the point that she could even be described as crazy.

"Of course, I will definitely cooperate with you!"

After speaking to Lin Yuan, Si Xue raised her hand and knocked on Yi He's shoulder, "Yi He, you're really impressive. You managed to gather so many Grade 5 colleagues and host an exchange in your own name.

"I think this time, we can properly study the topic that troubled us previously. Who knows, with so many people around and everyone pitching in ideas, these topics might just spark sinspiration."

Si Xue not only acted without constraints, but she was also very willing to study the path of Creator. Moreover, this pursuit of knowledge far surpassed other Creators. This was the reason why Si Xue's talent was similar to Yi He and she had advanced to the intermediate Grade 5 Creator earlier than Yi He despite being younger than him.

Upon hearing her words, Yi He didn't dare to claim credit and hurriedly said, "I have quite a bit of influence, Si Xue, don't you know? Just with my influence alone, having two Grade 5 Creators including you here is already quite impressive.

"The reason why so many people cwas that I used the topic of lifespan as bait. And all of this was bestowed by Young Master. Young Master should be the one with real influence."

Si Xue was taken aback by Yi He's words, finding it hard to imagine that such flattering words would cfrom him. It was worth noting that Yi He was very wild and rarely bowed down, even in front of her. Yet now, he sounded more like Lin Yuan's servant. However, Lin Yuan addressed Yi He as 'Senior' and clearly did not treat him as a servant.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled at Yi He. "Senior Yi He, you used your resources and channels for this academic exchange. I won't dare to take credit. Since Senior Si Xue has arrived, why don't we set off immediately?"

Yi He led the way and brought Lin Yuan to the conference hall. He was very nervous because he knew very well that a huge change was about to happen. The moment Yi He led Lin Yuan's group of four into the conference hall, a woman with an aged face but abundant vitality said unhappily, "Yi He, why did you go out to meet someone for such a long time? It's really rude to let the rest of us wait here like idiots. Yi He, are you looking down on the other Grade 5 Creators?"

This old woman was clearly talking to Yi He, but her gaze was fixed on Si Xue, who was a few steps behind Yi He.

As the host, Yi He naturally had to receive every guest because this was Yi He's venue. Even for these Grade 4 Creators who chere, Yi He would have to spend tto receive them. Even if Yi He and Si Xue didn't have any personal relationship, Yi He still needed to welcSi Xue.

The old female Grade 5 Creator wasn't targeting Yi He, but Si Xue. She was unhappy that Si Xue was late. Zhuo Yan and Si Xue had been at loggerheads for a long time. There were many conflicts of interest between them. During the exploration of the ruins, they had formed quite a feud. If it weren't for the fact that the purpose of this academic exchange meeting was to help Lin Yuan gather more Creators, Yi He definitely wouldn't have invited Zhuo Yan.

Yi He was very surprised by Zhuo Yan's attack. Even when Si Xue was still a low Grade 5 Creator, Zhuo Yan had always been at a disadvantage when fighting with Si Xue. When Si Xue advanced to an intermediate Grade 5 Creator, she kept a low profile.

There was no reason for Zhuo Yan not to be aware of this. If she continued to provoke Si Xue at this time, it meant that Zhuo Yan might have successfully advanced to the intermediate Grade 5 Creator. Otherwise, Zhuo Yan would not have the guts to do so.

Grade 4 Creators were not qualified to interfere in the dispute between Grade 5 Creators. Those who could becCreators were all clear-minded people and had already speculated that Zhuo Yan's ability had most likely improved. In an instant, Zhuo Yan surpassed the other Grade 5 Creators and reached a level where she could compete with Si Xue.

Before Yi He could say anything, Si Xue snorted. "Zhuo Yan, do you have a problem with my timing? Don't tellyou think you can do whatever you want just because you've made a breakthrough in your Grade 5 Creator abilities, or even because I'm on equal footing with you? Don't forget how you beca Grade 5 Creator. We becGrade 5 Creators through our own effort, unlike you, who relied on external means to break through.

"You broke through by relying on external means. Are you qualified to sit in the top position like us at the Creator Conference? You can only sit in the middle seats like those Grade 4 Creators. Even if you can be at the front, it won't be as glorious as sitting in the top seat!"

Si Xue had never been the kind of person who would let others off easily. Even if others didn't provoke her, Si Xue would take the initiative to find trouble with those she didn't like. Now that someone had provoked her, how could Si Xue just let it go? She didn't give Zhao Yan any face in front of the Grade 4 Creators and directly pointed out the flaws in her evolving to Grade 5 Creator. It was like touching a sore spot in Zhao Yan's heart.

Creators were the most respected profession in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. This made the classification of Creators extremely strict. In fact, there was not much difference in ability even if one advanced to a Grade 5 Creator through external means. However, there was a huge difference in their style.

In the North, South, East, and West Universes, Creators were all divided according to their abilities. No matter which universe Zhuo Yan went to, she would encounter the sdiscrimination.

The official organizations of the four universes defined Creators this way because Creators who relied on external means to advance their grade would find it very difficult to advance in the future, unless they encountered a huge opportunity. It was clear that Zhuo Yan must have encountered a great opportunity recently to advance further after becoming a Grade 5 Creator.

Upon hearing Si Xue's words, Zhuo Yan almost lost control of her breath and started fighting with Si Xue.

As the saying went, you should not expose your opponent's shortcomings when scolding them. Yet, not only did Si Xue expose Zhuo Yan's shortcomings, but she also ridiculed Zhuo Yan about the seating issue of the Creator Conference.

However, Zhuo Yan was still rational. If she fought with Si Xue now, no matter who won or lost, he would definitely offend the host, Yi He. If it affected the academic exchange and Yi He was unwilling to disclose the method of increasing his lifespan, it would likely lead to hostility from the other Grade 5 Creators towards her. No matter how she looked at it, it was not worth it to make a move now.

Since she could not do anything, Zhuo Yan did not want to suffer such a loss. Zhuo Yan was certain that Si Xue would not dare to make a move if she did not dare to.

Si Xue exposed her shortcomings as if she didn't know about the thorns buried in Si Xue's heart.

"Si Xue, I used sspecial methods to beca Grade 5 Creator, but I'm still a Grade 5 Creator now. In terms of Creator abilities, it's no different from yours. It's not a bad thing that I have the ability to take advantage of the situation. On the other hand, you were hunted down by your enemies when you advanced to Grade 4 Creator and in order not to give up the opportunity for comprehension, you caused trouble for your family.

"I heard that more than half of your family clans have died. If I were you, I would definitely give up on the opportunity for comprehension to protect my family. With your strength at that time, you should be able to defeat a powerful enemy if you give up on your comprehension."

If what Si Xue had said just now was just a stab in Zhuo Yan's heart, then what she said now was equivalent to cutting open the scar in Si Xue's heart that had yet to heal. This matter had always been Si Xue's nightmare or regret.

At that time, Si Xue had indeed placed too much importance on her own comprehension of the will of heaven and earth. At that time, Si Xue had been too eager to beca Grade 4 Creator. When Si Xue was not even a Grade 1 Creator, her species had already made enemies due to mining disputes and conflicts with other factions. From then on, the species hid everywhere, and the members of the species did not have a day of peace.

The reason why Si Xue decided to seize this opportunity and do her best to beca Grade 4 Creator was because she knew that only by improving her Creator abilities could she better protect her species.

Si Xue seized the opportunity and successfully beca Grade 4 Creator. However, without her protection, her species fell victim to an enemy faction. All the direct descendants of her bloodline perished in the encirclement of the enemy faction.

After Si Xue broke through, she almost wiped out all the enemy factions. However, even so, her dead relatives could no longer be revived.

Zhuo Yan had touched Si Xue's sore spot by using her family's grudge. However, Si Xue refrained from taking action. Instead, she turned to Lin Yuan. After meeting Lin Yuan's gaze, Si Xue shrugged and gestured to him. For the sake of Lin Yuan's plan, she had endured what Zhuo Yan had said.

Lin Yuan noticed the situation but did not intervene in Si Xue's emotions. He felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that the enmity between Si Xue and Zhuo Yan was deep, but it did not stop Lin Yuan from letting them join Sky City. At most, he would just not let Si Xue and Zhuo Yan work together in the steam. If Si Xue and Zhuo Yan encountered that kind of irreconcilable conflict in the future, at most, the two of them would fight. After the fight, it would naturally stop.

As one of the top people in the world, which Grade 5 Creator did not have a temper?

Lin Yuan had initially planned to wait for the academic exchange to proceed for stbefore taking action. At the very least, he wanted Yi He to put forward the method of obtaining endless lifespan. This would certainly make his movements much more convenient.

Sthings were better left unknown. If they knew, they would either join the sfaction and bectrue allies, or he would have to clean up the people who knew the secret and make it a secret forever.

The Creators were aware of this because they would do the sto others in order to keep a secret. However, now that the conflict has arisen, it will take quite stto address it.

Lin Yuan did not have that much tto waste because he still had to explore the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. Exploring the Land of Bloodian Ancestors was equally beneficial to Lin Yuan and the entire Sky City. Therefore, Lin Yuan was prepared to achieve his goal as soon as possible.

Lin Yuan did not respond to Si Xue's expression, which caused her expression to becsolemn. However, Si Xue felt that she was already giving face to Lin Yuan. Otherwise, with Si Xue's temper and personality, she would have definitely fought with Zhuo Yan and wouldn't care about the impact of the conflict. As a traditional Grade 5 Creator, she was more confident than Zhuo Yan.

Si Xue had tolerated Zhuo Yan's remarks, but she was surprised that Lin Yuan didn't acknowledge her feelings.

Si Xue was able to treat Lin Yuan with such an attitude because Yi He had told her a lot about how powerful and mysterious Lin Yuan and Sky City were.

Ignored, Si Xue turned to look at Yi He, her gaze conveying her dissatisfaction. In Si Xue's perspective, she believed that she had already shown more than enough goodwill towards Lin Yuan from the moment she first encountered him.

Upon seeing the look in Si Xue's eyes, Yi He inwardly muttered that things were not looking good. Si Xue had a temper, and there were many things Yi Xue couldn't openly discuss with her. If there was a conflict between Si Xue and Lin Yuan, Yi He really would not know what to do.

The moment Yi He contracted the Lifespan Mouse, he was already under Lin Yuan's control. Therefore, Yi He did not have any autonomy and could only stand on Lin Yuan's side. Yi He didn't want to lose his close friend, Si Xue, just like that. He was prepared to say something to calm Si Xue down.

At that moment, Yi He heard Lin Yuan speak. "Everyone, you must have chere to obtain a way to increase your lifespan. Since it's about finding a way to increase lifespan, there's really no need for any disputes between us. It's really difficult forto handle when you're all fighting each other here!"

Apart from Yi He and Si Xue, all the Creators present were very curious about Lin Yuan's identity.

Lin Yuan, Autumn, and Winter's auras could not be detected. The Creators present could not detect their auras because they were extremely powerful and far surpassed the Creators present.

The reason why they could not detect Lin Yuan's aura was that Autumn and Winter had used their own auras to protect him. It was also largely related to the recovery and increase in strength of Lin Yuan's sacred source lifeform, Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.

There was nothing special about Autumn and Winter, but the Creators present could discern the age disparity between Lin Yuan and Chu Ci.

Chu Ci had reached the Divine Kingdom level at such a young age, which really surprised the Creators. However, the Creators present were not ordinary people and they all had the ability to nurture such a prodigy.

Where did this little fellow, who had been alive for decades but whose aura couldn't be detected cfrom? There's no way someone so young should have a say here!
