Chapter 969: Miao Qi Cannot Shoulder the Responsibility

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan wanted to borrow some capable Spirit Craftsmen and transport them to the marsh world in the precious weapon made of the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad so that they could begin construction in the area surrounded by the three mountains.

By transporting them in the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad, he would be able to keep them from finding out about the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

But once they reached the marsh world, anyone with a shred of intelligence would be able to figure out where they were.

When Hu Quan heard Lin Yuan mention the marsh world, he knew that this matter was important.

Instead of asking for more information, Hu Quan immediately replied, “There are already 500 Spirit Craftsmen in the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. Most of them are capable Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen. I’ll have a meeting with them tomorrow. Do you have any other requirements for them?”

Lin Yuan pondered over the question.

He did not have any requirements, but those Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen were going to work in the marsh world. Contracts would not bind them, and humans were always unpredictable.

However, the matter of the marsh world was of utmost importance, and not a hint of it could be leaked. Hence, the Spirit Craftsmen that entered the marsh world would remain there for some time.

Lin Yuan would also not skimp on the compensation for their sacrifice.

“Uncle Hu, I only have one request. They have to be okay with loneliness and being separated from society.”

Hu Quan frowned, and Lin Yuan went on to say, “Thus, it’s best if you choose those without family and don’t have anyone depending on them. But as compensation, I can provide them with any Bronze/Epic fey of their desires for the rest of their lives. I will also give them one class higher of their needed resources.”

Hu Quan now had a general idea of Lin Yuan’s aim.

But he felt that even the Spirit Craftsmen that did have families would find Lin Yuan’s offer difficult to turn away.

Even Class 4 Creation Masters had trouble asking Creation Masters who were willing to nurture Bronze/Epic feys for them.

Lin Yuan’s offer would give them assurance for the rest of their lives.

Different Spirit Craftsmen were paid and treated according to their different classes.

Once they had Lin Yuan to supply them with Bronze/Epic feys, they would be able to gain resources that were one class higher.

This meant that the Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen would be paid the salary of Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen while Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen would be paid the salary of Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen.

This would make any Spirit Craftsman that ended up working for Lin Yuan rich.

Hu Quan asked, “Lin Yuan, will they need to be separated from society forever?”

Lin Yuan paused to think before shaking his head and replying, “They will need to be away for a decade.”

Ten years would be enough time for Lin Yuan to grow up and for the expansion to the marsh world to progress to a sufficient extent.

Lin Yuan believed that the Spirit Craftsmen that ended up working for him for a decade would all become loyal to him.

Hu Quan decided that he had to sign up. It would be a huge wasted opportunity if he let the lifetime of Bronze/Epic feys slip by.

In this era of the Spirit Qi Awakening, humans lived for a long time, and a decade was nothing.

“Lin Yuan, don’t you think you’re compensating too much for ten years of being away from society? Anyone would want to participate.”

“Uncle Hu, during this time away, I plan on nurturing a group of top Spirit Craftsmen armed with suitable feys for the sake of Sky City and Heavenly Craft Pavilion. These Spirit Craftsmen need to be completely loyal. Thus, don’t mention the ten years away right off the bat.”

Hu Quan thought to himself, Which of those brats in tomorrow’s meeting will be granted such a big opportunity?

Lin Yuan returned to his room and saw that Chimey had changed back to its fey form and was sleeping spread eagle on the bed.

Lin Yuan gently picked Chimey up and placed it on the pillow before summoning the sleepy Genius from the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

He covered Genius and Chimey with the blanket.

The sky was slowly growing brighter, and he logged into Star Web to buy venomous snake-type feys for Wendy.

He went to the Rare Lifeform Pavilion and started to search for the snake-type feys being auctioned off.

Lin Yuan had two conditions for the snake-type feys. They had to be extremely venomous and attractive.

All of them would be combined to become Wendy’s snake-hair. Hence, Lin Yuan did not want the cute Wendy to become ugly.

There were many snake-type feys in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion, so Lin Yuan soon had more than ten candidates.

He left Star Web and leaned back on the bed as he let his eyelids fall while stroking Chimey and Genius.

He was going to take Endless Summer into the marsh world tomorrow morning and plant the Barren River Orchid Bud in the area marked by the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacle. He was also going to prepare some high-grade fey essence blood and pour it into the marsh to attract the Marsh Crocodiles that the Medusa Snake Demon would be able to control.

…

A banging noise was coming from a luxuriously decorated study room.

Every item in the study room had an extremely dulled-down air of dignity.

When she heard the banging noises, a woman with a sour expression could not help but say, “Father, stop hitting him. Miao Zhuo’s soul hasn’t recovered. He’s going to die if you keep hitting him!”

The elderly white-haired man with a white beard to match started to swing the vase even quicker, and he looked like he was out to kill.

He turned and bellowed at the woman with the crestfallen expression, “Who told me with brimming confidence that she had a chance with Lord Bamboo Monarch? And what gave you the gall to dare to imitate Lord Bamboo Monarch’s coronation patterns?”

Miao Qi’s bitter expression hardened, and she frowned at the elderly man.

“Father, you know best what I wore and why I wore it to the Guard Ye Banquet. Don’t forget that you used your name to send me to the Guard Ye Banquet as a representative of Connected Beast Park.. I am partly responsible in this matter, but not all of it.”
