1955 Despair Before Hope! When the wound was infected, it would lead to a fever that not even spirit qi professionals could handle. As the young girl tirelessly dug, her sharp and light green fingernails suddenly disappeared as two light green caterpillars collapsed on the back of her hands. While she was digging, the young girl had sensed the soil around her hands becoming wetter. This indicated that she was closing in on the Duck-Mouthed Lungfish. However, the Finger Blade Insects were out of energy, and she could only continue digging tomorrow. The young girl was unsure if she would make it to see the sunrise tomorrow. She also did not know if someone else would take over the hole she had already dug once she left. The young girl stored the two Finger Blade Insects in her cloak before she started using her hands to dig the visibly softened soil. It was fine to use her hands to dig once. But after sticking her hands into the ground hundreds to thousands of times, the young girl’s untidy fingernails were pushed out by the dirt and started to crack. It did not take long for blood to start flowing out of her fingers. The young girl’s movements started to slow down as her mind slowly filled with fuzzy hallucinations. She shook her head to force herself to remain alert. She could see that her hands were pressing water out of the dirt and knew that she would reach the patch of mud covering the Duck-Mouthed Lungfish after digging around five meters deeper. She knew that her life was about to change. In the year after her parents left, she had spent every day digging but had failed to find the Duck-Mouthed Lungfish’s true hiding spot. Now that hope was right in front of her, but her body was preventing her from digging the final five meters, the severely dehydrated young girl watched as her only recently ignited hope was extinguished right in front of her. Before she lost consciousness, two hot tears rolled down her face. A wish formed in her heart. All I want is to live. Even if I’m still denied water, I want to continue living. I’m willing to trade everything as long as I can keep on living. … Although Lin Yuan usually spent his time in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, where he passed through Klein Hub to enter the marsh world so he could obtain the spirit fluids that Genius collected from the army of Hundred Questions Beasts, thoughts of the marsh world’s development had not crossed his mind in a long time. When he saw how his territory was prospering, Lin Yuan puffed up with pride and was filled with a sense of accomplishment. All of the precious plant-type feys, such as the Soldier Ration Radish and Twin Red Pagoda, were planted in areas that could be reached by the emerald green ancient tree’s effects. Lin Yuan had used a special method to split its wood-textured stem and manually cultivate it. The Soldier Ration Radish only grew veined leaves, and its wood-textured stem grew extremely slowly. For this, Genius had specially researched and produced a Grade 4 spirit fluid. Nonetheless, the effects had been negligible. Lin Yuan understood this because Chef Supreme had specially nurtured the Soldier Ration Radish. He had to have used Class 5 Creation Master methods. Genius still had a long way to go before it reached Class 5 Creation Master and could not be compared to Chef Supreme. However, the emerald green ancient tree had sprouted in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Thus, Genius no longer needed to use Grade 4 spirit fluids to water the Soldier Ration Radish to urge the development of the wood-textured roots. In the short span of two weeks, the Soldier Ration Radish’s wood-textured stem had grown from around five centimeters and the width of two fingers to ten centimeters long and the width of a wrist. At this point, the Soldier Ration Radish had reached the ideal stage to be divided. Genius was currently instructing the two Class 4 Creation Masters, Feng Shuang and Elder He, to divide the Soldier Ration Radish. Lin Yuan had taken possession of these two Class 4 Creation Masters as part of the spoils when he defeated the Zheng family in the blood pact ultimate fight. Lin Yuan had taken possession of a total of three Class 4 Creation Masters and turned them into the team named ‘Marsh’. This was so they could focus on developing his territory in the marsh world. But due to Hu Tian’s fey, the Scary Claw Rock Bear, Hu Quan kept him behind to help with the construction of the underground palace and provide him with Class 4 Creation Master resources. Thus, Hu Tian had not been sent to the marsh world yet. But given the current situation, it was enough to just have Feng Shuang and Elder He helping in the marsh world. Although Sun Ningxiang and the team of spirit qi professionals and regular people she led to plant plant-type feys needed a large amount of low-class Creation Master resources, the army of Hundred Questions Beasts was enough to supply their needs. With Wen Yu’s fey with the Barren bloodline, the Wailing Snake, the spirit qi professionals, and regular people were not in danger while planting plant-type feys. With the Sentient Being Protective Dragon, it could use Place in the World to keep the plant-type feys growing swiftly but still healthily even without the boost from the emerald green ancient tree. When the family of the six Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards had been in the Dark Dream Forest, they often went hungry. But ever since they entered the marsh world, they felt as though they had entered heaven, as there was an endless supply of insects to eat here. Although the insects were not delectable, they were still palatable. The husband and wife Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards could not remember the last time their bellies were so full. The family of six Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards fed on all the insects in the territory in a frenzy. Hence, the regular people and spirit qi professionals no longer had to be plagued by the insects and could rest in peace when they were not working. Since the Wailing Snake could change the profile of the ground, Wen Yu had personally instructed it to construct houses for the over 10,000 regular people and spirit qi professionals to live in. Once the houses were built, the rest of the decorating could be done by the regular people and spirit qi professionals while Lin Yuan provided the necessities needed to fill the house for free. For this, Lin Yuan had spent close to 500,000,000 Radiance dollars. But he still felt that it was a necessary expenditure. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 These people had entered the marsh world and left society because they trusted him. Lin Yuan needed to take responsibility for their happiness. In order to fill their lives with more happiness, Lin Yuan had given all of them a bottle made of powdered jade-textured wood, thousands of luxury items, and over 3 billion Radiance dollars of spending money. Lin Yuan’s generosity made the regular people and spirit qi professionals feel as though they were on top of the world. Lin Yuan also sent many feys used for farming into the marsh world, such as the Plowing Cultivation Cow, Diamond Sealing Gray Rabbit, and Ground-Moistening Earthworm. Since the spirit qi professionals had formed contracts with these feys and nurtured them using resources provided by Lin Yuan, they swiftly evolved to Silver grade.
