2854 Target: Treasure Convention! Yu Run wished to rely on Lin Yuan and his group, but his wish was one-sided. Yu Run wasn’t certain whether Lin Yuan’s group would protect the Purple Feather Rains Pigeons. Yu Run did not expect Lin Yuan to help them for no reason. Lin Yuan provided them with help for two reasons. Firstly, it was because of his commitment to Lin Yuan and his willingness to be Lin Yuan’s guide in Treasure City. For this, he even secured four spots for the Treasure Convention without hesitation. Secondly, it was because the Bloodwood Lion Bees had acted rudely towards Lin Yuan. Otherwise, in Yu Run’s opinion, Lin Yuan had no reason to kill the Bloodwood Lion Bees’ merchant groups. In Yu Run’s mind, the best way to resolve the grievances between them and Bloodwood Lion Bees was to use Lin Yuan and the others as shields, causing a conflict to arise between the Bloodwood Lion Bees and Lin Yuan. It would be best if Lin Yuan’s group was provoked and decided to fight to the death with the Bloodwood Lion Bees. This could resolve the predicament faced by the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons once and for all. Of course, this was only Yu Run’s thoughts. After bringing Lin Yuan and the others back, Yu Run would inform the leader of his thoughts and let the leader decide, as Yu Run was only the person in charge of the merchant groups and did not have much decision-making power. This time, they were targeted by the Bloodwood Lion Bees’ merchant groups and suffered heavy losses. Yu Run knew very well that he would most likely be punished upon his return. Rest and recuperation were extremely crucial in reducing the losses of the merchant groups. Healing ability was an extremely rare ability. In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, most species did not possess them. The Purple Feather Rain Pigeons, in particular, did not possess any healing abilities. If such a species wanted to acquire healing abilities, they would need to have a spirit contractor among them. The spirit contractor would form contracts with lifeforms proficient in healing. This was the most effective way to resolve the lack of healing abilities. Of course, there was another way. Powerful species like the Bloodians would rear some species that were known for their healing abilities, providing them with resources and shelter. In return, these species were expected to serve the Bloodians wholeheartedly. This would result in a mutually beneficial situation for both sides involved. Coincidentally, there were spirit contractors in the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ merchant groups. However, it was extremely difficult to heal so many injured people with just one healing entity. This was the reason Yu Run had requested half a day of rest from Lin Yuan. In fact, Yu Run was also afraid that Lin Yuan would lose patience. After all, in Yu Run’s heart, Lin Yuan was the savior of the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. Lin Yuan shook his head. It was impossible to wait here for half a day. He could not afford to waste that much time. However, Lin Yuan would not let the injured Purple Feather Rain Pigeons just die here. “I don’t have half a day to spare for you. However, I can help you recuperate from your injuries!” As he spoke, Lin Yuan raised his hand and summoned the Jasmine Lily. Green light emitted from Jasmine Lily’s body and fell upon the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. The gentle healing energy instantly enveloped them. Following that, the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ merchant groups, who were on the brink of death, subconsciously perked up. Their vitality was greatly replenished, enabling them to get up and move freely in just a minute or two. Among the entire merchant groups, only Yu Run, a World Emperor/Divine Kingdom expert, was uninjured. Without exception, Jasmine Lily treated all the lifeforms whose strength was not at the World Emperor/ Divine Kingdom. This did not pose a problem for Jasmine Lily at all. Many of the merchant groups’ members present had not only lost their vitality but also had impaired limbs as a result of the enemy’s rapid attacks. When the stingers on the tail of the Bloodwood Lion Bees pierced a target’s body, they would not release bee poison. However, they could maximize the blood-type energy in the target’s body, causing it to explode. In the main world, there was hardly any means to repair the impaired limbs, and the same applied in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Even if there were spiritual ingredients that could repair impaired limbs, they were extremely expensive, and ordinary factions did not have the qualifications to acquire them. The non-combat members of the various merchant groups in Treasure City were basically all experts with crippled limbs who could not fight. Such a scenario was already common in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. However, these Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ experts with crippled limbs miraculously recovered under Lin Yuan’s treatment to the point that they did not look like they had suffered from any injuries before. Yu Run was surprised yet delighted to witness that Lin Yuan possessed such an ability. He was happy that so many Purple Feather Rain Pigeons had recovered. This was an extremely good thing for the species. If this young man before him could heal these Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ experts with impaired limbs, would the other experts with impaired limbs also have a chance of recovery?! The reason Yu Run had such thoughts was largely related to Lin Yuan’s nonchalant use of this ability to heal them. Lin Yuan did not appear to value the ability very much. If the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons faithfully served the young man in front of them and then asked for his help, he would certainly offer his help, right? Originally, Yu Run had intended to use Lin Yuan’s group’s strength to resolve their problems. However, Yu Run did not dare to have such thoughts anymore. This young man was a spirit contractor and had contracted such a powerful healing fey. His status must be very noble! If Lin Yuan sensed that the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons had taken advantage of him, they would be doomed. Yu Run did not plan to bring up his previous suggestion to the leader. Instead, he intended to propose that they befriend and faithfully serve Lin Yuan and his group. He hoped to use this opportunity to gain Lin Yuan’s favor. If the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons could maintain a good relationship with such an existence, it would be an opportunity that could change the fate of their species. Otherwise, even if the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons survived the current crisis, they would inevitably encounter trouble similar to the Bloodwood Lion Bees in the future. If another calamity befell them, he might not be able to encounter such a savior again. Yu Run quickly led the members of the merchant groups to express their gratitude to Lin Yuan. “Lord, we are deeply grateful for your help with our Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. We have no way to repay your kindness. “Lord, we will arrange everything for you in Treasure City. We will definitely let you feel the sincerity of our species!” Lin Yuan was very satisfied with Yu Run’s performance, as it showed that he was a sensible person. At the very least, Yu Run understood the purpose of his actions, and that would save Lin Yuan a lot of trouble in the future. “I heard that almost every merchant group in the chambers of commerce in Treasure City has its own books. You should be able to help me get these books, right? I’m very interested in the experiences of various merchant groups.” Yu Run was quite surprised. From Yu Run’s point of view, he could not understand the value of the books that Lin Yuan had taken a fancy to. However, if Lin Yuan was interested in these books, Yu Run would not need to spend much effort to help him obtain them. All the chambers of commerce sold these books. Some even offered services such as purchasing books and applying for book membership cards to increase book sales. In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, those experiences were basically worthless, and it was not an exaggeration to say they had no value at all. This was because the merchant groups of the various chambers of commerce were out training all the time. During the process of going out to obtain resources, their knowledge was constantly accumulating. Yu Run was puzzled as to why Lin Yuan wanted these books. In order to increase book sales, some chambers of commerce had even exaggerated their content. Could it be that Lin Yuan was just there to watch the show? If he bought every book for 10 Honor Absent dollars just to watch the show, it would indeed be a little expensive. Since Lin Yuan had spoken up, even if Yu Run did not fully understand it, he would not ask further. “Lord, there are currently more than 46,000 chambers of commerce stationed in Treasure City. More than 40,000 of them have relevant books. If you’re interested in all of them, I can guarantee that these books will be ready for you in three days. It’s just that these books are very expensive. They all cost more than 450,000 Honor Absent dollars.” Yu Run felt that it was necessary to inform Lin Yuan about the price in advance. He did not have the authority and ability to take on these expenses for Lin Yuan. Although the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons could fork out more than 400,000 Honor Absent dollars, it was unlikely for the leader to approve of investing these resources in Lin Yuan. At the same time, Yu Run really could not afford to fork out his own money. Furthermore, these resources were meant for the species’ benefit, and Yu Run wouldn’t sacrifice his personal interests to benefit the entire species’. Most importantly, his fellow members would not appreciate his actions. Before Lin Yuan left the King Blood Jackals’ territory, he took 5,000,000 Honor Absent dollars with him. The King Blood Jackals operated and developed in North of the Lonely River. When they exchanged resources internally, they basically did not choose to use Honor Absent dollars. Most of the 5,000,000 Honor Absent dollars were the resources obtained by the King Blood Jackals after killing the adventurers from other species. Apart from taking 5,000,000 Honor Absent dollars from the King Blood Jackals, Lin Yuan also took 2,000,000 Honor Absent dollars from the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River. 7,000,000 Honor Absent dollars was a huge sum, but if Lin Yuan wanted to use these Honor Absent dollars to obtain resources in Treasure City and made a big purchase at the Treasure Convention, it would definitely not be enough. Lin Yuan took out a spirit qi crystal and handed it to Yu Run. “How many Honor Absent dollars can this crystal containing spirit qi be exchanged for in Treasure City?” Yu Run didn’t know why Lin Yuan was asking him this question, but he had a feeling that Lin Yuan was testing him. Yu Run carefully sensed the spirit qi in the spirit qi crystals and said seriously, “Lord, with the concentration and purity of the spirit qi in your crystal, one crystal can be exchanged for at least 800,000 Honor Absent dollars. “If someone urgently needs it, it’s not impossible to sell it for 1,300,000 Honor Absent dollars! However, it’s too wasteful to exchange resources of this level for Honor Absent dollars. “Spirit qi resources with such purity can be directly converted into chips at the Treasure Convention to snatch and auction those rare and precious resources. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 “The purchasing power and priority of the chips at the Treasure Gathering are higher than that of the Honor Absent dollars. However, the evaluation of the chips at every Treasure Convention varies significantly. Regardless, such pure spirit qi can definitely meet the standards required for chips!” Lin Yuan had originally wanted to exchange some spirit qi crystals for Honor Absent dollars. However, upon hearing Yu Run’s words, he immediately changed his mind. Since spirit qi crystals could be exchanged for bargaining chips, Lin Yuan intended to purchase numerous resources at the Treasure Convention. In that case, it might be worth using the spirit qi crystals to acquire chips for a sweeping spree at the Treasure Convention. Even if the Treasure Convention could not satisfy Lin Yuan’s needs, it would still provide him with a satisfactory harvest! As for resources, Lin Yuan had a lot of them to exchange for Honor Absent dollars, as the King Blood Jackals’ territories were quite rich in resources. Lin Yuan did not take the spirit qi crystals from Yu Run. Instead, he said directly, “In that case, I’ll reward you with these spirit qi crystals! Use three days to help me prepare the books from the chambers of commerce and store them all in this spatial equipment. During the next three days of helping us, prepare resources. I don’t wish to have any delay in exploring Treasure City.” Yu Run hurriedly promised, “I definitely can’t purchase books from over 40,000 chambers of commerce alone. I’ll inform our leader about this and have him arrange for someone to do it. “When we reach Treasure City, I can bring you around Treasure City at any time. I wonder if you have any accommodation needs? If you haven’t decided yet, you might consider staying in our Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ chamber of commerce. We will do our best to serve you, Lord! Moreover, we have a large stockpile of resources available for you to choose from!” Lin Yuan smiled at Yu Run. “The Treasure Convention is about to begin. The major factions have gathered in Treasure City. I want to know which powerful factions are involved and where they are staying.” Yu Run knew that Lin Yuan was not planning to rest in the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ chamber of commerce. If Lin Yuan had such plans, he would not have asked that question. Yu Run wished for Lin Yuan to stay with their merchant groups. Apart from being able to get closer to Lin Yuan’s group, he was also considering that if the Bloodwood Lion Bees’ experts came looking for trouble, Lin Yuan would be able to take better care of them in the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons’ chamber of commerce. After all, it was Lin Yuan’s subordinates who had killed the Bloodwood Lion Bees. Hence, the enmity between Lin Yuan and the Bloodwood Lion Bees had already been formed. This was a fact that could not be denied. It seemed that the passive approach of relying on Lin Yuan’s group to deal with the Bloodwood Lion Bees was no longer feasible.
