1840 Yin Lin and Lin Yuan’s Cooperation Nonetheless, Yin Lin did not forget about her role as an Azure Envoy. She saw the collaboration between the Radiance Federation and Azure Federation as beneficial for the Azure Federation. Lan Xun walked up to Lin Yuan and said with excitement, “I thank the Moon Empress for her gift to the Azure Federation! Once we return to the Azure Federation, the Azure Federation will send someone to deliver a generous gift to her!” Lan Xun’s words told Lin Yuan that Lan Xun assumed all the resources that Lin Yuan had produced had come from the Moon Empress. Lin Yuan was not surprised that Lan Xun thought this, and he was happy to let this erroneous thinking continue. Lin Yuan had already proved his power during the group battle against the Freedom Federation. It was unlikely that there was any other young expert in the Radiance Federation who could compete with him. Thus, Lin Yuan was going to set his sights on the older generation from now on. He knew that he was still very weak when compared to the older generation. Before Lan Xun spoke, he had already carefully thought through how he could establish a friendly bond with the Moon Empress. Even if the Azure Federation kept a neutral stance, it needed to maintain a good relationship with the Moon Empress. The Lantis Mystic Realm had many major sea demons, and it would be beneficial to nurture more of them into king sea demons with the Moon Empress’ help. The pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy that the Moon Empress had concocted had evolved the bloodline of the major sea demon into a pinnacle king sea demon. It was on the brink of evolving into the emperor sea demon. If the same pure spirit qi and elemental energy had been given to the pinnacle king sea demon, it could have transformed it into the emperor sea demon. The evolution of the king sea demon’s bloodline into emperor sea demon had always been solely privy to the Azure Federation. Both the major sea demon and king sea demons’ greatest asset was their ability to be applied to precious instruments. But once a sea demon evolved into an emperor sea demon, its life water would evolve into the independent sea. At that time, the spirit qi professional would gain a territory they could control. Lan Xun coughed and shot a look at Yin Lin before winking at her. Yin Lin immediately understood that Lan Xun was interested in the resources that Lin Yuan had produced. Yin Lin knew that Lin Yuan needed top-grade strange water. Although top-grade strange water was not difficult to obtain in the Azure Federation, it was still a strategic-class resource. Even Yin Lin had spent significant effort in order to obtain the three to four types that she had. She might be able to obtain high- and top-grade strange water for Lin Yuan, but she would not be able to bring him a lot at a time. But if Lin Yuan could establish a collaboration with the Azure Federation, he would be able to get as much high- and top-grade strange water as he wanted. The Class 6 water world dimensional rift had already been open in the Azure Federation for 15 years. In the past 15 years, the Deep Blue Association always kept at least 100 units of top-grade strange water in stock. Yin Lin said to Lin Yuan, “Le— Lin Yuan, I’m sure you have a great need for high- and top-grade strange water now that you have a major sea demon! To thank you for helping me, I can provide you with high- and top-grade strange water. However, I will need resources in exchange.” 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺 Yin Lin had managed to stop herself before she called Lin Yuan by ‘Leo’, which was the name she was used to addressing him by. She had been pondering an issue for some time. She had managed to obtain a large number of various types of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls from Lin Yuan. When she started managing her faction, the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls would definitely enable the faction to develop rapidly. However, she would not be able to explain this to her family and the Deep Blue Association. Her family might not question how she came to possess so many resources, but the Deep Blue Association would definitely pursue the matter. It would be better for her to propose a collaboration with Lin Yuan in front of Lan Xun. With the collaboration, no one would question her regardless of how many heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls she came to possess. She was confident that Lin Yuan understood her intention. Lin Yuan and Wen Yu shared a look when they heard what Yin Lin said. It was clear that both of them understood what Yin Lin was trying to do. However, in order for Lin Yuan and Wen Yu to agree to work with Yin Lin, they needed a guarantee that she would be the one to use all of the resources that came from them. Under no circumstances would Lin Yuan allow such precious Creation Master resources to be used by other factions. Since Lin Yuan was visiting Yin Lin as the Moon Empress’ disciple, he represented the Moon Empress and Radiance Federation. There were some things that were inappropriate for him to say, but Wen Yu did not have such obstacles because she was his assistant. The words that Wen Yu said represented Lin Yuan’s feelings as well. “We only need one to two units of high- and top-grade strange water. Our Young Master wants them because he likes collecting such things. He has a fair number of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. “I’m sure you know that heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers are more valuable than top-grade strange water. If our Young Master is willing to trade with you, it will only be because of the friendship between the two of you. As such, only you can use the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that you trade for with us.” Wen Yu spoke so brashly because Lan Xun was present, and there was no point in trying to put up a facade. Frankly, it was difficult to compare the value of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers and top-grade strange water. They could be priceless as long as a person needed them. Wen Yu said that heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were more valuable than top-grade strange water because there was a larger market for the former. It was a basic resource that every high-class spirit qi professional needed. Meanwhile, only top-class experts who nurtured water-type feys needed top-grade strange water. It was actually very disrespectful for Wen Yu to have said such a thing, but it did not displease Lan Xun. Lan Xun was well aware of Yin Lin’s life thus far. As the only daughter of the Azure Cloud Leopard family, there was no link between Yin Lin and Lin Yuan. Lan Xun was certain that the two of them only got along so well because of the attraction between opposite genders. Thus, he did not question whether Yin Lin had other intentions, nor was he aware that Yin Lin and Lin Yuan were putting on a show together. ...
