1841 Professionally Taking Advantage of His Master! Both high- and top-grade strange water could be found in the water world. Although the Azure Federation had explored the water world for more than a decade, they had not made much headway. After all, even spirit qi professionals who had contracted aquatic feys could not stay underwater for long. The water world was far richer in resources than the Azure Federation’s 12 aristocratic families could imagine. Something that could be found in the natural world could not be compared with something that Class 5 Creation Masters could only concoct. Class 5 Creation Masters were the most important strategic resources to any federation. The amount of Class 5 Creation Master resources a federation possessed would determine how stable it was. The Azure Federation had always gobbled down water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. The Azure Federation was surrounded by the sea and had established waterways with numerous federations that had Class 5 Creation Masters. They needed the water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to nurture the Island Whales as well as major sea demons. It would definitely be beneficial for the Azure Federation to be able to use high- and top-grade strange water to trade for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers. Lan Xun did not see any issue with the condition that only Yin Lin could use the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Firstly, Lan Xun was Yin Lin’s teacher and was naturally biased toward her. Secondly, Yin Lin’s Azure Cloud Leopard allowed her status as an Azure Envoy to be untouchable. Hence, the Azure Federation would still have to supply her with many resources annually. Otherwise, Yin Lin would not have been able to evolve her major sea demon to pinnacle major sea demon when it was only Gold grade. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 With such a large-scale trade between two federations, neither side would be able to deceive the other. If Yin Lin was the only one who was allowed to use the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, it meant that the traded high- and top-grade strange water would be used to nurture Yin Lin. If Yin Lin became stronger, it would mean that the Azure Federation would become stronger. Lan Xun agreed to the terms without hesitation. Yin Lin’s major sea demon was very close to evolving into an emperor sea demon. Yin Lin was the apple of the eyes of those lords from the Deep Blue Association. As such, there was no question that Deep Blue Association’s council would also agree to the terms. But before the negotiations could begin, Lan Xun needed to ensure that the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were comparable to the high- and top-grade strange water. Lin Yuan had intended to use Thoughts Letter Paper to ask Yin Lin to obtain high- and top-grade strange water for him. Dark Blue already needed a large amount of strange water. Now that he also had the major sea demon that had awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water, Lin Yuan would require even more high- and top-grade strange water. But now, Yin Lin had moved the private trade to one between Lin Yuan and the Azure Federation. Lin Yuan was very grateful to Yin Lin. He would no longer have to worry about lacking in high- and top-grade strange water in the future. Without Yin Lin needing to ask him, Lin Yuan said after a moment of silence, “One unit of top-grade strange water and ten units of high-grade strange water will be worth 150 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers.” Although Lin Yuan always carried heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls around with him and did not have to scrimp on his usage of them, heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were still resources that only Class 5 Creation Masters could produce. Normally, 140 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls should be able to trade for ten units of high-grade strange water. However, all the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were only going to be used by Yin Lin. Thus, Lin Yuan was willing to raise the price. Lan Xun was delighted that Lin Yuan upped the price on his own. When Yin Lin did not reply, Lan Xun almost urged her to say something. At that moment, Yin Lin looked at Lan Xun as though she wanted his opinion. This trade concerned Yin Lin’s own benefits. Lan Xun was touched that she still wanted his opinion in such a situation. Yin Lin was indeed his beloved disciple. Lan Xun suppressed his overwhelming happiness and nodded at Yin Lin. After Lan Xun’s nod, Yin Lin said happily, “If that’s the case, let’s begin a long-term collaboration!” Lan Xun hastily added, “I have four top-grade and 35 high-grade units of strange water on hand. Forget about the lacking five units of high-grade strange water first. Can I trade for 58 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers with you?” Lin Yuan realized that Lan Xun was very detailed. Top-grade strange water was much more valuable than high-grade strange water. There was no need to trade for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with high-grade strange water. Nonetheless, Lan Xun still discounted for the five units of strange water that he lacked. However, Lin Yuan was not petty and wanted to leave a good impression on Lan Xun. The water world dimensional rift also had a moon, and Lin Yuan could harvest it through Yin Lin. But Lin Yuan would not do this. There was only one Sacred Cry Moon Beast, and it was in the marsh world. Once the moon from the water world dimensional rift disappeared, the Azure Federation experts in the water world would definitely notice. If Yin Lin brought him into the water world, such an incident would only cause trouble for her. Thus, Lin Yuan had to go with another method. It would be a better choice for him to use the endless supply of resources from the Spirit Lock spatial zone to nurture Yin Lin into a beacon of hope for the Azure Federation. He would engineer it so that the Azure Federation was made continuously aware of Yin Lin’s value. Eventually, they would willingly hand over the moon from the water world dimensional rift. This path would also lead to the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation becoming allies. Lin Yuan smiled and said to Lan Xun, “There’s no need for such inconvenience. We’ll go with 60 water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. You can make up for the five units of the high-grade strange water during the next trade. To express my sincerity, I promise that 20% of the 60 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls will be Over the Rail Coral.” Lin Yuan was magnanimous, but it left Lan Xun with a bad taste in his mouth. Lin Yuan might be powerful, but he also did not hold back when it came to taking advantage of his master. ...
