Chapter 1449: Slowly Strengthening Apostles Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After storing away the Item-Storing Walnuts, Lin Yuan went into the marsh world through Klein Hub. When he arrived at the marsh world, he saw Genius ordering five Spirit Craftsmen to plant the Item-Storing Walnut Trees. A three-meter-tall humanoid crocodile with crocodile armor on its body was rapidly digging holes using its hands. After the Spirit Craftsmen planted the Item-Storing Walnut Trees and filled up the hole with soil, two Medusa Snake Demons wrapped their arms around the Item-Storing Walnut Trees’ trunks and squeezed forcefully. Soon, the crooked Item-Storing Walnut Trees were all straightened. Genius sensed that Lin Yuan had arrived and headed toward him. It leaped deftly and landed on Lin Yuan’s shoulder. It affectionately nudged Lin Yuan’s face and said in a childish voice, “Yuan, ever since you decided to nurture the Item-Storing Walnut Trees, I told the other Hundred Questions Beasts to concoct spirit fluids that can increase the grade and quality of the Item-Storing Walnuts as well as quicken their ripening. Currently, we have enough for more than 200 Item-Storing Walnut Trees.” Lin Yuan gently patted Genius’ head and said, “Genius, I have 50 Item-Storing Walnut Trees that are more than 500 years old. Nurture these Item-Storing Walnut Trees first until they reach Diamond and produce Item-Storing Walnuts. I’ll give you the other 600 Item-Storing Walnut Trees that are more than 300 years old after I’ve evolved them to Bronze/Epic. This will ensure that they produce the best quality Item-Storing Walnuts.” Genius nodded and said, “Yuan, I think that we have too little manpower to properly develop the marsh world. We need some people here who can do hard labor.” Lin Yuan flicked Genius’ nose and replied, “Genius, I will be able to solve the problem quickly once I’m back in the Radiance Federation. There will be many more people in the marsh world soon.” He had discussed with Sun Ningxiang how he wanted to set aside a large area in the marsh world to be used to cultivate plants. Recently, Sun Ningxiang had been recruiting employees who were willing to become recluses, so Lin Yuan could pick some of them to help Genius. Additionally, the Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen were also building houses even though this task was beneath them. If someone could take over the task, it would free them up to become more efficient in tasks where they were actually needed. Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste for Genius to ask the Medusa Snake Demons and Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen to plant the Item-Storing Walnut Trees. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 The half-man half-crocodile was one of White Pavilion’s Apostles that it had used its natural skill to transform. The half-man half-crocodile had a sturdy physique and was very strong. It was very suitable for them to do hard labor in the territory. Genius received the Diamond fey storage box with the Item-Storing Walnut Trees and was about to jump off Lin Yuan’s shoulder to make preparations to plant them when Lin Yuan embraced it and summoned the Snow-Necked Swan from the Diamond fey storage box before saying, “Genius, evolve the Snow-Necked Swan to Diamond by tonight. Su Yiren needs an avian-type fey, and the Snow-Necked Swan is the most suitable.” Genius immediately agreed and said, “Yuan, don’t worry. I have already stocked up on many spirit fluids. I will have the Snow-Necked Swan to Diamond evolved before dawn tomorrow.” After Genius headed to the breeding room to work, Lin Yuan walked a lap but still could not find the Kill Food Sky Butterfly. Lin Yuan contacted Purple Afterglow using his spiritual energy and found out that the Kill Food Sky Butterfly and Purple Afterglow had been searching for marsh soil around the territory. When Purple Afterglow found out that Lin Yuan was looking for the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly rapidly led Purple Afterglow back to the territory. In less than 40 minutes, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly appeared in front of Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan asked, “Kill Food Sky Butterfly, have you formed a contract with your sacred source lifeform?” “Lin Yuan, I want to wait a while before I contract the sacred source lifeform. The territory is currently lacking in marsh soil. A few days ago, the Medusa Snake Demons went to search for marsh soil and were met with danger. A Class 7 Medusa Snake Demon encountered a Class 7 Marsh Pattern Water Boa. After the Marsh Pattern Snake Boa ambushed the Medusa Snake Demon, both of them eventually ended up killing each other. Hence, I told the Medusa Snake Demons to stop searching for marsh soil. “I informed White Speak to set up a line of defense on the outskirts of the territory. Only the Marsh Crocodiles, Medusa Snake Demons, and Medusa Giant Lizards are allowed to pass through the line of defense. “I also told White Speak to send out its subordinates to kill all dimensional lifeforms around the territory that are Class 7 and above. Purple Afterglow and I used the distribution of the Marsh Crocodiles to collect marsh soil while helping to clear the Class 7 and above dimensional lifeforms. “I would like to settle these tasks before I contract the sacred source lifeform. If I contract the sacred source lifeform now, it will definitely affect the rate of the development in the marsh world,” said the Kill Food Sky Butterfly. From what the Kill Food Sky Butterfly said, Lin Yuan knew that the Kill Food Sky Butterfly was putting off absorbing the sacred source lifeform for the sake of the marsh world’s development. Since the Kill Food Sky Butterfly was being so considerate, Lin Yuan did not insist on the Kill Food Sky Butterfly forming a contract with the sacred source lifeform. Lin Yuan would return to the Radiance Federation tomorrow morning. Lin Yuan was extremely curious about the Mother of Bloodbath’s sacred source lifeform. He also needed to help Ji Feng contract his sacred source lifeform. After speaking with the Kill Food Sky Butterfly for a while more, Lin Yuan called Rising Lizard, Wendy, and White Pavilion over. Lin Yuan noticed that Rising Lizard was growing at the quickest rate. It already had four believers, three Favored Believers, and reached Class 8. It would reach Class 9 very soon. Rising Lizard increased its power so quickly because all of the Medusa Snake Demons were doing their best to attract the Medusa Giant Lizards that Rising Lizard would use to increase its power. Wendy had snake-species feys and used their venom to evolve its power to Class 4. It had one Favored Believer and two believers.
