Chapter 720: I’m the Best at Making Friends! Miao Zhi paused for a while before saying, “If you can become friends with Chief Guard Ye and the Moon Empress’ disciples, it will benefit not only yourself but also the Miao family and Zheng family. Then, you will be able to smoothly inherit the Zheng family. You’ll also be able to use your status as the head of the Zheng family to gain authority in the Miao family.” Miao Zhi felt that her nagging and relaying of Miao Qi’s messages to Zheng Kaiyuan had fallen on deaf ears. Zheng Kaiyuan nodded enthusiastically. “Mother, don’t worry. I’m the best at making friends!” After she nagged at him a little while longer, she was finally relieved. “The Guard Ye Banquet will be held in the Royal Capital. Given the order issued by the Spirit Guards, I can’t assign anyone to cause trouble at the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. If a large commotion is caused, it will be seen as a great disrespect to Chief Guard Ye. “After the Guard Ye Banquet is over, I’ll send people to end the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. After that’s settled, I’ll personally conduct a detailed investigation into Sky City.” … Lin Yuan carried the Flawless Muscle Growth Camellia that Listen had brought back into his room. He opened his palm, and a small white pigeon appeared in his palm. After this white pigeon was summoned from the fey storage box, it flew toward Lin Yuan’s shoulder. But a flap of Chimey’s wings sent the white pigeon crashing to the ground. Chimey was about to screech at the small pigeon when Lin Yuan stopped it. Lin Yuan was truly afraid that Chimey would kill the Messenger Pigeon. After all, the Silver Messenger Pigeon was no match for the Gold/Fantasy Chimey. After stopping Chimey, it landed on Lin Yuan’s ear and glared dangerously at the Messenger Pigeon that was struggling to get up. Chimey was not a violent fey. It had immediately attacked the Messenger Pigeon because it sensed that the Messenger Pigeon felt animosity toward Lin Yuan. Since the Messenger Pigeon was a Silver messenger-type fey, it did not excel at attacking. However, its rapid pecking attacks could still harm Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was the person closest to Chimey, and it would allow any harm to befall him. After the Messenger Pigeon climbed back up, it turned and shot off toward the window. Lin Yuan’s window happened to be open, so the Messenger Pigeon quickly flew out. Lin Yuan did not stop the Messenger Pigeon from escaping, nor did he instruct Chimey to attack it. Soon after the Messenger Pigeon flew out, it disappeared. Lin Yuan closed his window. He was not the Messenger Pigeon’s owner and could not deliver messages using it. Lin Yuan released the Messenger Pigeon after so long and allowed it to return to his owner because he had an ulterior motive. Since someone within the Zheng family was providing him with clues at the beginning of his war against the Zheng family, that person had to be after something. All Lin Yuan needed to do now was to wait to see if the Messenger Pigeon would bring him any news. The Zheng family’s inner circle was divided and had a traitor amongst them. This could only be an advantage to Lin Yuan. An enemy’s enemy was your friend. Moreover, this friend was in the Zheng family’s inner circle and was up to date on all the happenings inside the Zheng family. Now that he was done with this task, Lin Yuan headed to the Spirit Lock spatial zone with Chimey. He saw Genius squatting with its five voluminous tails swaying behind it. It was holding spirit fluid and spreading it over the Soldier Ration Radish’s sprouts. Lin Yuan did not feel any stress about being tasked by Condense Fairy Orchard to nurture the Soldier Ration Radish. Whenever the Soldier Ration Radish grew new branches, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would cut them down, and Genius would store the extra branches that were overcrowding the Spirit Lock spatial zone into a Platinum fey storage box. Although the Soldier Ration Radish was only Bronze/Epic, it grew new branches at an astonishing rate. According to legend, the Soldier Ration Radish would reach its true power when it reached Platinum grade. The Soldier Ration Radish had yet to reveal its true power, but its current state could already be considered an impressive source of grain. Chimey realized that Lin Yuan and Genius had work to do, so it dutifully returned to the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree nest to absorb the strange flame energy from the leaves. It did not take long for Chimey’s feathers to turn golden. When Genius saw Lin Yuan walk over to it, it hastily kept the Soldier Ration Radish and potion away. Lin Yuan bent over to pick up Genius and place it on his shoulder. “Genius, how has your research on the Soldier Ration Radish been going? Can you come up with a way for the new branches to grow roots?” asked Lin Yuan. When Lin Yuan saw the Soldier Ration Radish branches that Genius was experimenting on, he scratched the back of his head. The Soldier Ration Radish was heavily absorbing the pure spirit qi. Lin Yuan could sense the Soldier Ration Radish’s strong separation ability. But once the branches separated from the Soldier Ration Radish, they would be as good as dead. In order to preserve the nutrients inside the branches, the wounds would heal using the last vestiges of separation ability. When Lin Yuan injected a large amount of pure spirit qi into the Soldier Ration Radish, he could only allow the Soldier Ration Radish to grow more vibrantly. The spirit qi could not spark the Soldier Ration Radish’s strong separation ability to life and allow it to grow new bodies through its separated branches like the Usnea could. Lin Yuan could understand this. When Mother Nature was creating a new lifeform, it had to include some disadvantages in all beings that had the potential to disrupt the natural balance. Although the Usnea was weak, it could flourish anywhere. Although the Soldier Ration Radish was strong, it was very rare. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 Only Class 5 Creation Masters like Chef Supreme knew how to nurture the Soldier Ration Radish. But Lin Yuan was not acquainted with Chef Supreme and could not consult him on the techniques to nurture the Soldier Ration Radish. The Sun family had one Soldier Ration Radish, but Lin Yuan did not think that they knew how to divide it successfully. Otherwise, the Sun family would have sent him more than one Soldier Ration Radish. Since the pure spirit qi could not be of use, Lin Yuan did not know what to do.
