Chapter 3059: Rich Harvest!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan’s choices were mostly focused on intermediate Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen and higher. As long as there were no major problems, Spirit Craftsmen above Class 3 and higher would be selected by Lin Yuan.
Among the five batches, there was a pinnacle Class 3 Spirit Craftsman whose soul possessed a type of soul worm. Once this soul worm wandered around in his soul, this Spirit Craftsman would go crazy and would require a long time to recover. Before the soul worms acted up, it was impossible to see any problems from the outside. However, Lin Yuan did not choose this particular pinnacle Class 3 Spirit Craftsman.
Those low Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen that were chosen either possessed excellent bloodlines or exhibited some exceptional qualities beyond the ordinary. It could be said that Lin Yuan had indeed chosen all the outstanding targets.
It was indeed strange. Sun Youcai even entertained the suspicion that there might be a traitor among them who had provided Lin Yuan with detailed information about the commodities in advance. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have been able to see through the situation of these Spirit Craftsmen. However, Sun Youcai quickly dismissed this thought as soon as it arose in his mind.
All the employees who had access to comprehensive information about the commodities here are individuals Sun Youcai brought from his own family. It was impossible for these people to betray him. Moreover, even if Lin Yuan obtained the complete information of the commodities, the batches of Spirit Craftsmen that were sent over were all randomized.
If he did not investigate them one by one, it would be impossible to match them. Could it be that Lin Yuan had talent in detection? It seemed to be the only reason that made sense.
If Lin Yuan had not promised to trade with Grade 4 Creator resources, Sun Youcai would have immediately called for a halt.
At that moment, Lin Yuan had already chosen the 16th batch of Spirit Craftsmen. In this batch, he encountered an early-stage Class 4 Spirit Craftsman for the first time. This early-stage Class 4 Spirit Craftsman was extremely expensive, more than ten times more expensive than a pinnacle Class 3 Spirit Craftsman.
If Lin Yuan were to use spirit qi crystals to trade, he would need hundreds of thousands of them. If not for the fact that this early-stage Class 4 Spirit Craftsman had a lifespan problem, he would have been sold for a higher price.
A Spirit Craftsman with the bloodline of an earth-bending Land Imp was very good at constructing the main structure of buildings, and they possessed fine skills in sculpting as well. Lin Yuan chose this earth-elemental Land Imp with a lifespan of less than 600 years without hesitation. In terms of ability, this early-stage Class 4 Spirit Craftsman with the earth-bending Land Imp bloodline was comparable to Hu Quan.
However, as a local Spirit Craftsman of the Sky Beyond the Clouds, his skills and forging style must be very different from Hu Quan’s. Communication between the two could allow them to grow tremendously.
Using True Data, Lin Yuan could see the lifespan of this early-stage Class 4 Spirit Craftsman with the earth-bending Land Imp bloodline. In fact, his Captivity Ring’s information did not mention the issue of lifespan at all.
Feng Qian and Ding Tao obviously knew this early-stage Class 4 Spirit Craftsman. Those factions that had invested in this talent market, they could rent people from Sun Youcai in large quantities. The Fortune Treasure Palace had rented this Spirit Craftsman before. Feng Qian and Ding Tao were aware that this Spirit Craftsman did not have much lifespan left.
The two of them knew very well that reminding Lin Yuan was equivalent to breaking the rules. However, when they recalled Wan Ying’s instructions, Feng Qian and Ding Tao looked at each other and Ding Tao spoke first.
“Young Master Lin, if you buy this Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, he shouldn’t be able to serve you for long. At most, it will only be a few hundred years. I’m sure you prefer to buy Spirit Craftsmen who don’t have any problems with their lifespan.”
Ding Tao’s reminder to Lin Yuan was not subtle. When Sun Youcai heard Ding Tao’s words, he looked displeased, “Ding Tao, isn’t that a little against the rules? Others might not know the rules here, but as the receptionists of Fortune Treasure Palace, you should be aware.”
Ding Tao was aware that her actions just now might have displeased Sun Youcai. However, compared to Sun Youcai’s dissatisfaction, Ding Tao was more concerned about whether Lin Yuan would think that the Fortune Treasure Palace and Sun Youcai had teamed up to deceive him. To a certain extent, reminding Lin Yuan was equivalent to expressing goodwill to him.
“Sir Sun, Young Master Lin was brought here by our Fortune Treasure Palace and he has already conducted a large transaction. Hence, we’re responsible for Young Master Lin and your reputation. Otherwise, if Young Master Lin wants to purchase talents again in the future, he won’t even consider you, Sun Youcai!”
Despite his dissatisfaction, Sun Youcai did not express it. The only possible reason for the Fortune Treasure Palace to protect Lin Yuan like this was that, in the eyes of Wan Ying, Lin Yuan held more importance than Sun Youcai himself.
Wan Ying was a sly old fox. Sun Youcai did not want Wan Ying to be dissatisfied with him in the future.
Lin Yuan thanked Ding Tao politely.
When chosen by Lin Yuan, Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment before his face lit up with excitement. Having been trapped here for more than 400 years, Wang Xuan’s lifespan was less than a thousand years when he was forced to wear the Captivity Ring.
At that time, he was not considered a high-quality commodity yet. He had only made a breakthrough in his Spirit Craftsman ability after being captured. It wasn’t until Wang Xuan broke through to become a Class 4 Spirit Craftsman that he had the opportunity to be put up for sale despite having less than six hundred years left in his lifespan.
Wang Xuan was afraid that the young man who had just selected him might lose interest upon learning that he only had a few hundred years left to live. A few hundred years of lifespan meant that there was no potential left. A laborer with such a limited lifespan wasn’t worth selling at such a high price.
When Ding Tao pointed out the problem of his lifespan, a bitter expression appeared on Wang Xuan’s face. He thought that the young man who had chosen him would now abandon him. Unexpectedly, the young man said with a calm expression.
“It’s fine. I have some means to increase lifespan here. A Class 4 Spirit Craftsman is already qualified for me to use such methods to increase his lifespan. If Manager Sun has talents with outstanding abilities who don’t have much lifespan left, you can sell them all to me. Apart from me, I don’t think anyone else would approve of the high price you set. On the other hand, I’m willing to accept everything without deliberately asking for the price to be lowered.”
Ever since encountering Lin Yuan, Sun Youcai, Ding Tao, and Feng Qian were often surprised. All of them knew very little about Lin Yuan’s situation and only knew that Lin Yuan’s faction must be extremely powerful.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was not the only prodigy nurtured by this faction. The quiet girl accompanying Lin Yuan, despite her young age, had reached such a level making her equally outstanding in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, where she was considered among the top talents.
There were basically methods to increase lifespan in the hands of every powerful person with an inheritance. However, which faction would be willing to use such a method for a servant that they had bought?
Sun Youcai said excitedly, “Sir Lin Yuan, I have a lot of such talents. If you don’t mind, I can show you all of them. It’s just that there aren’t many Spirit Craftsmen among them.”
This conversation was just a small interlude. After Lin Yuan confirmed his choice, Wang Xuan was brought away. Wang Xuan heard everything Lin Yuan just said. The fact that this young man not only chose him but also intended to increase his lifespan left Wang Xuan pleasantly surprised. Lin Yuan had invested resources in him, so he would only value him in the future.
Apart from Wang Xuan, Lin Yuan also had new gains in the selection of Spirit Craftsmen. Among these Spirit Craftsmen, there was also a high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman. For some reason, this high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman’s body was incomplete and was unable to recover. The physical impairment would affect his work. Without both hands and both feet, at most, he could only use their teeth to hold a pen and sketch a design.
The high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman could tell from the wound on his arm that there was still poison in his body that had not been removed, causing the wound to still be festering. From the wound visible at the severed part of the arm of this high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, it was apparent that there were toxins remaining in his body, preventing the wound from healing and causing it to fester.
Sun Youcai explained to Lin Yuan, “Young Master Lin, his design ability is extremely strong, especially in designing large-scale buildings and mechanisms. You’ve bought so many Spirit Craftsmen, so you should understand how important design is in the use and construction of mechanisms.
With his design, even if a pinnacle Grade 3 Creator forges it, they will be able to construct mechanisms at high Grade 4 quality. I’ve experimented with that before. If not for the fact that cleaning up the poison and maintaining his roots requires spirit qi, I would have raised his price even higher.
Besides here, in other talent markets, it’s practically impossible to purchase a Spirit Craftsman of this level. Even if you plan on hiring one, you will have to make an appointment in advance.”
When Lin Yuan used Morbius’ Omniscient Eyes to examine this high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, Lin Yuan confirmed that he had the ability to heal him. Not only that, but he could also use the Jasmine Lily, which had already reached the Holy Spirit level, to regrow the limbs of this high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman after removing the effects of the poison.
This was something that others might find difficult to accomplish, but Lin Yuan only needed to pay a small price to do it. With this high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, many things that Hu Quan could not resolve with his own abilities in Sky City could be easily resolved.
Lin Yuan ignored Sun Youcai’s sales pitch and walked over to the high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, “You’re called Zhu Shoudan right? In the future, if you work diligently under me, I will give you a chance to stand up again despite your severed limbs. Are you willing?”
Zhu Shoudan was Lin Yuan’s most powerful Spirit Craftsman. Apart from Hu Quan, Lin Yuan placed the most importance on the Zhu Shoudan. This was also the reason why Lin Yuan was willing to spend time communicating with Zhu Shoudan.
When Sun Youcai mentioned Zhu Shoudan’s injuries, his expression turned gloomy. It was obvious that Zhu Shoudan was very concerned about his injuries.
Lin Yuan had bought Zhu Shoudan and did not want him to lead a muddle-headed life under his command. Therefore, Lin Yuan made a promise to Zhu Shoudan. Certainly, Lin Yuan would also request a promise from Zhu Shoudan in return for the promise he made.
Zhu Shoudan was not very happy. To him, leaving this place meant simply exchanging one location of discrimination for another. The fact that a high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman could only draw designs was truly a mockery! If it weren’t for being betrayed and having his species wiped out, losing two legs and an arm, with his talent, he would probably have already become a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman by now.
When Zhu Shoudan was first captured and brought here, he had used his talent and ability to fight for Sun Youcai. He wanted to see if Sun Youcai could help him get rid of the remaining poison in his body and help him regenerate his broken limbs after removing the remaining poison in his body. It was not that there were no methods to regrow limbs in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, but the price to regrow limbs was often very high.
If Zhu Shoudan was a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman, Sun Youcai would be willing to invest in it. However, he was only a disabled high Class 4 Spirit Craftsman. Sun Youcai had no way to verify Zhu Shoudan’s potential. As a businessman, Sun Youcai would never engage in a deal that would incur losses. Hence, Sun Youcai directly rejected Zhu Shoudan and did not give him any preferential treatment. Instead, he treated him as an inferior product that was extremely difficult to sell.
From Sun Youcai’s perspective, lowering the price of selling talent was simply not an option. Without lowering the price, Zhu Shoudan knew just how difficult it was for him to be sold off. Those buyers would basically give up on buying Zhu Shoudan just by looking at his appearance.
Zhu Shoudan sensed Lin Yuan’s attitude toward Sun Youcai and knew that Lin Yuan was definitely a big shot from a large faction. There was no need for such a big shot to lie to him. This place was called the talent market in the outside world, but in fact, they could not be considered talents here at all. He was just a servant that was sold at will!
When Zhu Shoudan saw that Sun Youcai had rejected him and even told him about his market price in disdain, he was already in despair. However now, he could see hope. If he could grow back his limbs, he would still have a chance to become a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman.
“Master, even if you don’t give me a chance to regrow my limbs, I will do my best for you. Moreover, you have given me this opportunity, and I am determined not to let you down. In the future, I will definitely strive to create value for both you and the faction I am loyal to!”
Zhu Shoudan knew that this was a rare opportunity for him. If he did not seize this opportunity quickly, the young man in front of him might immediately change his mind. Zhu Shoudan had an extremely high EQ and had always been good with words.
Upon hearing Zhu Shoudan’s words, Lin Yuan was in a very good mood. He turned around and said to Sun Youcai, “Mr. Sun, I’ve already chosen all the Spirit Craftsmen. I wonder if I should pay the price of these Spirit Craftsmen first or continue choosing Gourmets and Weavers?”
Sun Youcai did not expect Lin Yuan to need Gourmets and Weavers. He had been counting, and Lin Yuan had chosen more than 3,600 Spirit Craftsmen.
If he wanted to trade for all these Spirit Craftsmen, he would need to pay an extremely huge amount of resources. Sun Youcai felt that even the Fortune Treasure Palace would find it a little difficult to fork out so many resources at once.
Under such circumstances, the Fortune Treasure Palace would no longer be able to vouch for Lin Yuan.
