Chapter 547: Lin Yuan Wants to Recruit Lin Yuan remembered Recluse Study mentioning that he did not come from an influential family. His uncle, Duan He, was also a spirit qi professional. This meant that Duan He had not joined any faction. Although Duan He initially wanted to help Jiao Hanzhong’s fey to undergo World Cleansing, from the way that Duan He interacted with Jiao Hanzhong, it was clear that Duan He was not colluding with the Zheng family. He had only gone to the deserted island to repay Jiao Hanzhong. Lin Yuan’s private faction Sky City’s top fighting force only consisted of Endless Summer and the Mother of Bloodbath. Although Lin Yuan only got to see the Diamond X/Fantasy V Sword Plume Sea Hawk instead of Duan He’s true power, Duan He’s main fey had to be the peak of Suzerain since Jiao Hanzhong had enlisted his help for his Suzerain II fey to go through the World Cleansing. Lin Yuan thought, If I can get Recluse Study to bring his uncle over, and I manage to gain Duan He’s loyalty, Sky City’s fighting ability will be greatly boosted for sure. As Lin Yuan schemed how he would be able to bring Duan He over to his side, he silently took stock of his own advantages. If I manage to snag the emperor-class Duan He, what will I be able to offer him in return? I can’t just use rare source-type items to convince him to join my team. They can easily use their own connections to find Class 4 Creation Masters if they want Bronze/Epic feys. There aren’t many Class 4 Creation Masters who will reject a deal with an emperor-class expert. Emperor-class experts also make up the main fighting force for veteran factions. As long as an emperor-class expert is willing to pledge their loyalty, any veteran faction will be glad to pump in as many resources as necessary. If I want Duan He on my side, I’ll need to fork out quite a lot. However, Lin Yuan had something that veteran factions and top factions did not have—Bronze/Legend feys. Lin Yuan had just manifested the idea of wanting to recruit Duan He. Although Duan He was a true blue emperor-class expert, Lin Yuan’s criteria for recruitment consisted of more than power. When it came to potential, Lin Yuan also emphasized his subordinates having good character. Unfortunately, Lin Yuan was not certain about what kind of person Duan He was. Lin Yuan might have had the idea, but he still needed Wen Yu to look into Duan He’s affairs and information before he approached Duan He. Inside the Radiant Moon Palace’s Hidden Moon Pavilion, every expert’s information was logged by the hidden servants. From the expert’s personality to their life experiences, all information was collated in what was essentially a personalized magazine. As events took place, the hidden servants would constantly update and record the new information. After the death of an expert who was worthy of being recorded in the Radiant Moon Palace, their personalized magazine would be sealed away. Sky City was able to sort out all the information regarding the veteran factions and rising factions in such a short amount of time due to Wen Yu’s hard work and the information kept in the Hidden Moon Pavilion. The Hidden Moon Pavilion was controlled solely by the Moon Empress’ intelligence team. To other people, Leaning Moon Mountain was an impenetrable territory, so naturally, they would never be able to lay eyes on the Hidden Moon Pavilion. However, Lin Yuan had unrestricted access to the Hidden Moon Pavilion, and he could enter it with the same ease that he did his own room. Lin Yuan’s hand gently cupped his chin as he was deep in contemplation. Although attracting an emperor-class expert to join my faction will use up resources, it will provide us with a good future. Lin Yuan had always been insistent on relying on his own power to expand Sky City, but he knew that there were some things he could not force on his own. On several occasions, the Moon Empress had subtly suggested that she wanted to invest resources into Sky City, but Lin Yuan had rejected her each time. The Moon Empress was still his Master, nonetheless. Although Lin Yuan did not receive a direct input of resources from the Moon Empress, he did not collect all the intelligence and secret information on his own. He used the information provided by the Hidden Moon Pavilion in order to establish Sky City’s own intelligence connections. Lin Yuan felt that information was more useful than resources. Wen Yu had already finished collating all the information on the veteran factions and rising factions. Consequently, Lin Yuan needed to start putting in the effort so as to collect his own intelligence reports rather than relying on the Hidden Moon Pavilion to help Sky City. At his present level, Lin Yuan did not have the courage to try and recruit other emperor-class experts. However, Duan He was an exception. The difference between Duan He and other emperor-class experts was that Duan He was acquainted with Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan knew that his wealth of resources was more than capable of meeting Duan He’s needs. By allowing Duan He to become acquainted with him, Lin Yuan could provide him with a bright future. If Lin Yuan did not want to reveal his identity to the rest of the world, his best course of action would be to recruit Duan He. During the few minutes that Lin Yuan was deep in thought, Lin Yuan guessing Recluse Study’s uncle’s surname had already been long forgotten. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 Most of the group member’s attention had shifted to the 12 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that were 9.9 purity. Only Recluse Study was still left reeling. Recluse Study’s curiosity could not be satisfied without Lin Yuan’s response. There were many bigshots in the group, and the group admin did not appear to know anyone in the group. Recluse Study did not think that the group admin knew who he was. Recluse Study suddenly remembered how powerful his uncle was, and then it hit him. Could the group admin know my uncle? Recluse Study thought more about it, and his uncle seemed to know that he was buying the Flower Brocade Pearls from the Purchase With No Loss store for him. After Recluse Study joined the fan club through the blind trade for the Flower Brocade Pearls, he did not notice his uncle’s presence in the group. At that moment, Recluse Study realized that his uncλe was online on Star Web. Since he could not get an answer from Lin Yuan, Recluse Study decided to try to get some from his uncle. Thus, he sent him a message.
