2318 Lin Yuan’s Plan! When Lin Yuan watched all of this as an observer, all he felt was awe at how grand and formidable everything was. But frankly, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was only a small part of Sky City. There were many large shops along Thick Soil City’s main street. All of them were rented out and managed by individuals. Almost all of the Creation Master resources were gathered there. The restaurants were gathered on another street. Lin Yuan and the rest turned onto a street and were stunned by the delicacies from the three federations. Liu Jie and Lin Yuan were not unfamiliar with these dishes and had tasted many of them. However, Wen Yu and Sun Ningxiang had never seen such food before, so they were very interested in them. Since the four of them were here to see the architecture in Thick Soil City, they ate and toured for three days as they visited every corner of Thick Soil City. All of them had high scores for the way that Thick Soil City was managed. However, there were still many issues in a city that had only been running for a few months. But these issues would soon be discovered and corrected. Three days of rest was considered a luxury to Lin Yuan. He was planning to put an end to this vacation. Lin Yuan’s group of four entered the City Lord’s residence. Ta Lei had placed the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Tentacle Node in his room. He was looking forward to the day that Lin Yuan transported himself to this tentacle node. However, he knew Lin Yuan was busier than he could imagine and did not have time to come here. Ta Lei had been reading and gaining as much knowledge as he could. The books about the three federations that Su Yiren had found and brought for Ta Lei helped him to grow quickly. At that moment, Ta Lei suddenly noticed a faint spatial fluctuation behind him. When he turned his head back, he saw that Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had appeared with two females, and they were all smiling. Ta Lei hurriedly stood up and shouted, “Master!” Wen Yu and Liu Jie were used to Ta Lei’s behavior. Lin Yuan had never admitted that he was Ta Lei’s Master, but the latter was very enthusiastic when he addressed Lin Yuan. Liu Jie and Wen Yu slowly acknowledged this relationship between the two of them. This was the first time that Sun Ningxiang had met Ta Lei, and she was slightly surprised. She had not expected Lin Yuan to have taken in a disciple in the Starling Lines Continent! Given Lin Yuan’s power and talent, he was perfectly capable of accepting a disciple. This young boy sure was lucky to have Lin Yuan as his Master! If that were the case, this young boy would essentially be the Moon Empress’ grand-disciple! Lin Yuan looked at the surprised Ta Lei as he smiled and patted his head. For some reason, Lin Yuan found this scene to be very familiar. With Lin Yuan’s hand on his head, Ta Lei asked hopefully, “Master, are you planning on staying in Thick Soil City for some time? I have specially prepared a room for you, and people have been cleaning it regularly!” Lin Yuan shook his head. “I came just to see you. You are managing Thick Soil City very well. Your achievement is proof of your growth!” Ta Lei’s eyes twinkled at Lin Yuan’s sudden compliment. His Master acknowledged his effort and even praised him for it! This caused tears to well up in Ta Lei’s eyes. This was actually the first time that Lin Yuan was praising him. But at the same time, Ta Lei was slightly disappointed. Lin Yuan’s words meant that he did not intend to stay in Thick Soil City for long. At that moment, Ta Lei noticed Lin Yuan’s brows knitting for a second before they relaxed. “Ta Lei, how many experts waiting to break through are in Thick Soil City?” Ta Lei immediately replied, “There are a total of 217 of them! I placed them all in the martial arts hall behind the City Lord’s residence.” Lin Yuan immediately replied, “Go and gather all of them and tell them to prepare for their feys’ trials!” Lin Yuan had received news from the Kill Food Sky Butterfly that said that Pregnant Poison had ordered all of her subordinates in the Marsh West Circle to investigate the strange area. Eventually, they discovered an issue. Pregnant Poison’s subordinates had ended up fighting with unknown experts. According to Pregnant Poison, the experts who fought with her subordinates could transform into monsters. However, the transformed monsters were very different from source sacred bodies. When they transformed, there was no hint of faith or source-type power from them. At first, Pregnant Poison did not think much of that. After all, there were many strange creatures in the marsh world, and it was understandable for them to have all sorts of abilities. After Dictator Pregnant Poison’s subordinates reported this matter to Pregnant Poison, she had not thought much of that. She only decided to tell the Kill Food Sky Butterfly about this to express her loyalty and to curry favor with Lin Yuan. See how I immediately went to investigate, just like you told me to! Although she had not attained any results, she could leave a good impression of her attitude on Lin Yuan. Pregnant Poison had managed to gain favor with Evil Source using that method. However, Pregnant Poison had no idea that her report that was supposed to earn her favor contained the answer Lin Yuan had been looking for. There was a high chance that the experts who fought Pregnant Poison’s subordinates were experts from the Freedom Federation who had combined with devils. That sure was easy! He had managed to locate where the Freedom Federation was situated in the marsh world. Lin Yuan intended to give the Freedom Federation a big gift when he returned so they would not have to waste any more energy on trying to form an alliance with the Azure Federation. As for how he would deliver the gift to the Freedom Federation, this would be a very simple matter for Lin Yuan. All he needed to do was release the news that he had lost one of the big source fruit’s sprouts in the Marsh West Circle and offer a reward for whoever could find it. The Apostles and Dictators would surely be knocking over each other as they all headed to the Marsh West Circle. Some would be hoping to obtain the reward while the majority would be trying to obtain the big source fruit’s sprout for themselves so they could try to nurture the big source fruits for themselves. Lin Yuan did not care what these Apostles and Dictators were thinking as long as they scoured the Marsh West Circle. There would definitely be many of them who ended up stumbling on the Freedom Federation’s territory. Once the two sides met, it would be difficult for there not to be war!
