Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

From Sun Youcai's words, Lin Yuan gathered that Sun Youcai was very familiar with Diverse City's City Lord, Zhao Chen. Moreover, his words were filled with disdain for Zhao Chen.

This disdain cwith a hint of fear.

This indicated that Zhao Chen could suppress Sun Youcai. Otherwise, Sun Youcai's talent market would not be so far away from Diverse City!

As the City Lord of a mega-city, it was not a bad thing to be particular about ostentation. If he did not show off at all, it would weaken his authority.

Lin Yuan joked with Sun Youcai, "Brother Sun, from what you're saying, it sounds like you have senmity with the City Lord of Diverse City. If you takethere, will the two of us be chased out of the City Lord Manor?"

Sun Youcai hurriedly replied, "Brother Lin, my relationship with Zhao Chen isn't that bad, but we're competitive in business. Privately, we have a mutual understanding. If I had a grudge against a narrow-minded guy like Zhao Chen, why would he invite me? After all, Fortune Treasure Palace didn't receive Zhao Chen's invitation.

"Rumor has it that Zhao Chen had vouched for a faction and wanted Fortune Treasure Palace to support this faction. Wan Ying rejected this, making Zhao Chen feel embarrassed. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Fortune Treasure Palace should have been given a few spots!"

Sun Youcai was showing Lin Yuan his connections and telling him that his relationship with the City Lord was extremely close and not as bad as the rumors suggested.

At the stime, he was proving to Lin Yuan that it was better for him to guide them than for Fortune Treasure Palace.

As soon as Sun Youcai finished speaking, he heard a sharp voice say, "Mr. Sun, long tno see. In Diverse City, only you dare to speak ill of City Lord Zhao like this. The last tI visited, you said you liked my Poison Bee Wine. A new batch has been brewed recently. Here are 20 bottles. Please accept them, Mr. Sun!"

The middle-aged man with long dark green hair and a pale face warmly handed a spatial equipment to Sun Youcai.

To get close to Sun Youcai, this man had occupied the space beside Lin Yuan, which made Lin Yuan frown.

Seeing that Winter was about to make a move, Lin Yuan signaled him to stop. This middle-aged man with long, dark green hair was clearly ignoring Lin Yuan. The latter was there for the talent auction and did not want to cause trouble and expose his presence.

Sun Youcai always enjoyed being praised and receiving gifts. This was why people from various factions treated him with such respect.

The main reason Sun Youcai was there was to accompany Lin Yuan. If Sun Youcai had not known that Lin Yuan intended to buy high-end talents, Lin Yuan would have bought all the high-end talents himself.

Sun Youcai would not have attended such an occasion to support a competitor like Zhao Chen.

This person had already affected Lin Yuan in order to please him. Although Lin Yuan did not say much, he was clearly dissatisfied. If it were him, he would not be happy either!

The person giving the Poison Bee Wine was the Third Elder of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, responsible for handling their external affairs.

Bizarre Plant Demon Hall had always been in conflict with Traveling Dragon Palace and had been suppressed by them in Diverse City.

Now, with the conflict between Traveling Dragon Palace and Gray Smoke Stronghold, Bizarre Plant Demon Hall finally had sbreathing space.

It was obvious that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall's Third Elder, Chan Jing, had not cto curry favor with him. Sun Youcai could clearly see who was more important between Bizarre Plant Demon Hall and Lin Yuan.

Ever since he had cto Diverse City to open the talent market, the talents that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall had bought from him were less than one-thirtieth of what Lin Yuan had bought.

Bizarre Plant Demon Hall usually bought World Emperor/Divine Kingdom experts with no combat ability and whose roots were injured and without healing value.

Although Bizarre Plant Demon Hall had also invested sshares in him, such a small shareholder was dispensable to Sun Youcai.

Sun Youcai coughed heavily. One of the guards behind him immediately raised his hand and pushed away the Third Elder of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

Sun Youcai said coldly, "Chan Jing, your Poison Bee Wine does have sflavor, but this is not a reason for you to stop my friend! Take these 20 bottles of Poison Bee Wine back."

Sun Youcai's words stunned Chan Jing. Sun Youcai did not give Chan Jing a chance to speak and continued. "If you're sorry for your actions just now, you can give these 20 bottles of Poison Bee Wine to my friend."

Sun Youcai had always been tactful. Bizarre Plant Demon Hall recently had a chance to rise, and Sun Youcai did not want to becenemies with them because of Lin Yuan.

Sun Youcai mentioned a way to salvage the situation. If Chan Jing was smart, he might use this opportunity to get close to Lin Yuan.

Chan Jing took the initiative to befriend Sun Youcai but was treated like this. This made Chan Jing's expression turn very ugly. In his opinion, he had already lowered himself to befriend Sun Youcai, yet Sun Youcai treated him like this.

Could it be that Sun Youcai had reached skind of agreement with Traveling Dragon Palace to help them?

You Di, the second leader of Wandering Dragon Palace, indeed had a better relationship with Sun Youcai than Bizarre Plant Demon Hall did.

This time, he had only brewed less than 300 jars of Poison Bee Wine.

Sun Youcai did not accept his goodwill. Instead, he asked him to give the Poison Bee Wine to this young man. Chan Jing felt insulted.

This young man's lifespan was less than 100 years. He was just trying to curry favor with Sun Youcai and occupy this young man's position. Was there a need for him to compensate with 20 bottles of Poison Bee Wine?

Chan Jing took a deep breath. He was not going to continue standing there and embarrassing himself. There were already many people watching from the sidelines.

"Since Mr. Sun doesn't like to drink the Poison Bee Wine anymore, leave this Poison Bee Wine to those who like it! In the future, if Bizarre Plant Demon Hall brews any new wine, we will send it to Mr. Sun for him to grade!"

With that, he turned around and left, preparing to contact the other factions to send out the Poison Bee Wine.

Lin Yuan looked at the middle-aged man with long dark green hair in surprise. He realized that the man was from the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall!

The Bizarre Plant Demon Hall had always been on opposing sides with Lin Yuan's enemies since he started preparing to take the Traveling Dragon Palace under his command. They were considered adversaries.

This member of the Demon Hall tried to curry favor with Sun Youcai, but Sun Youcai's reaction showed that he genuinely considered Lin Yuan a friend.

Sun Youcai watched Chan Jing leave without a care. He was not concerned about offending Chan Jing as long as Lin Yuan did not misunderstand his intentions.

The Third Elder of the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall was really short-sighted. How could someone Lin Yuan valued so much not have any status?

"Brother Lin, the people from the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall are always like this. They are all a bit uptight. The faction is formed by a few special plant species, which are either extremely bloodthirsty and need a large amount of blood or contain violent venom and curse powers. If it's not necessary, don't get involved with this faction.

"However, the Poison Bee Wine brewed by them is still delicious. Drinking this wine, which is brewed with special bee venoms, can activate the blood energy in your entire body and give you a unique feeling. I still have a few bottles. If you're interested, I can bring them out for you to try after the talent auction!"

Lin Yuan was not interested in the so-called Poison Bee Wine at all.

Besides being good at making clothes, Wen Yu was also an expert at brewing wine. Wen Yu had used spiritual ingredients from the Spirit Lock spatial zone to brew seven or eight outstanding wines. Lin Yuan rarely drank, but Liu Jie loved the excellent wines Wen Yu had brewed.

Sun Youcai's preference for Poison Bee Wine indicated that he likely enjoyed hard liquor.

Lin Yuan took out a bottle of Fire Spirit Wine from his spatial equipment and handed it to Sun Youcai.

This Fire Spirit Wine was brewed with high concentrations of spiritual qi, heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that had already turned into elemental dolls, and dozens of fire-type spiritual ingredients. It was considered the best grade of hard liquor.

The spiritual ingredients used to brew this wine all cfrom Grade 4 and above Creators, with sreaching the level of Grade 5 Creator resources.

Creator resources above Grade 4 were extremely precious. Using these resources to brew wine was extremely extravagant. Even Grade 5 Creators would hesitate to do so.

Sun Youcai was experienced. When he saw the bottle of Fire Spirit Wine, he struggled to maintain his calm expression.

In Sun Youcai's eyes, wine was a beverage with certain medicinal value, making it quite expensive. The Poison Bee Wine was already a good wine to him, but compared to the Fire Spirit Brew Lin Yuan casually took out, the Poison Bee Wine seemed low-end.

Sun Youcai couldn't help but wonder if Lin Yuan regularly drank such exquisite wine.

Using Grade 4 Creator resources to brew wine was a huge waste. The taste of the wine was the focus, and compared to potions brewed by Creators, its effects were minimal.

Such a precious item was casually given to him, aligning perfectly with his image of Lin Yuan, who had many spirit qi crystals.

"Brother Lin, I'm truly surprised by the wine you brought out! I've learned something new today. If it were anything else, I wouldn't accept it, but this bottle of wine really tempts me. I'm very curious about its taste. I won't stand on ceremony with you. From now on, if I have any professionals above Class 4, I'll contact you directly through the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower ramet you gave me. If you don't want them, I'll offer them to others!"

This interaction had brought Lin Yuan and Sun Youcai closer together.

Everyone had already seen how Sun Youcai protected Lin Yuan. Anyone else wanting to greet Sun Youcai would have to consider Lin Yuan's presence.

"Brother Lin, the trade fair organized by the Diverse Talent Market is divided into three venues. The floor we're on now is selling low-end resources that won't interest you. The real auction will be held on the third floor, featuring outstanding Class 3 professionals and those above Class 4. There are less than two hours before the auction officially begins.

"Let's go to the top floor and wait! Shortly, the City Lord of Diverse City, Zhao Chen, will likely cto see me. I can introduce Zhao Chen to you. Although Zhao Chen is selfish and a little jealous, once he acknowledges you, he's a good partner.

"Zhao Chen and I are cooperating is because I also acknowledge him. If you like Zhao Chen, you can interact more with him. If not, I'll send him away. Anyway, don't let him affect our relationship!"

Sun Youcai would never compliment someone who lacked power. Lin Yuan was surprised that Sun Youcai would recommend someone like this.

"Brother Sun, I'll inspect this Zhao Chen you mentioned. If he's an outstanding partner, I'm very willing to work with him."

Lin Yuan was a bit surprised that Sun Youcai would introduce Zhao Chen to him.

Lin Yuan was very willing to meet Zhao Chen because he had already decided to develop in Diverse City through Traveling Dragon Palace.

Getting to know Zhao Chen was a good move for Lin Yuan's development in Diverse City.

Otherwise, if Traveling Dragon Palace developed too quickly in Diverse City and attracted Zhao Chen's attention, Zhao Chen would definitely take action to prevent it.

Of course, whether he would form a good relationship with Zhao Chen would depend on their interactions.

Sun Youcai didn't say anything else. He was just building a bridge. It didn't matter if it succeeded or not. If it did, both Lin Yuan and Zhao Chen would owe him a favor.

When Sun Youcai saw the delicacies placed in the guest room by the attendants, he took out the bottle of Fire Spirit Wine Lin Yuan had given him and said with sheartache, "Rather than waiting here, why don't we taste this wine you gave me? I'm looking forward to its flavor!

"Brother, if you don't mind, can we let Zhao Chen try this wine later? He probably hasn't tasted anything this good before. Zhao Chen has very good tea. When he drinks it, ask him to let you taste it!"

Lin Yuan immediately understood what Sun Youcai meant.

Sun Youcai took out this bottle of Fire Spirit Wine to help him show his value in front of Zhao Chen.

Sun Youcai had said that Zhao Chen was an extremely powerful person. If Lin Yuan did not display his foundation immediately, it would be very difficult for Sun Youcai to think of befriending him.
