Chapter 2857 The Fortune Treasure Palace’s Benefits!

The Moon Empress was filled with an adventurous spirit. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have directly attempted to activate her birth horoscope with her limited lifespan. However, while the Moon Empress may have taken too many risks in improving her strength, she had always been cautious in managing a faction.

For example, when the Moon Empress was in charge of the Radiance Federation and the entire main world, she had basically considered all potential unforeseen events and positioned them accordingly.

Now that Lin Yuan was not around, the Moon Empress was much more serious about helping Lin Yuan organize and manage Sky City.

The Moon Empress was fully aware that Summer and Autumn were extremely powerful, but she did not like to take overly risky actions before she had a clear grasp of the situation.

Autumn’s words made the Moon Empress feel relieved.

The Moon Empress did not necessarily need Autumn to be stronger than the Crimson Heaven Falcons. There were plans in place if Autumn happened to be stronger, and countermeasures if he turned out to be weaker.

Certainly, it would be better if Autumn were stronger than the Crimson Heaven Falcons. This would save the Moon Empress a lot of trouble and prevent any losses to Lin Yuan’s territory.

Before Autumn returned from investigating the situation with the Crimson Heaven Falcons, the Moon Empress would withhold any response to the Spinning Wings White Falcon envoys waiting in the territory. She would let the two female King Blood Jackals, whom Kani had placed in an important position, continue entertaining them.

The Spinning Wings White Falcons did not know that the King Blood Jackals were already under Sky City’s control. With Kani and the entire King Blood Jackals under Lin Yuan’s control, no one would leak the news to the Crimson Heaven Falcon envoys.

The Crimson Heaven Falcon envoys’ core request was to see Kani. However, Kani had departed alongside Lin Yuan, so the Spinning Wings White Falcon envoys would definitely not be able to encounter them. Eventually, it was just a matter of time before the envoys resorted to threatening.

By that time, if they did not receive a favorable response from her, the envoys would probably immediately report the situation after returning. If this information reached the Crimson Heaven Falcons’ ears, they would take charge of the situation as the Spinning Wings White Falcons only played a tool-like support role.

If the Moon Empress’s stance remained firm, the Crimson Heaven Falcons would most likely dispatch experts to intimidate them. The Moon Empress’ goal was not to prevent conflict from occurring but to prolong it as much as possible. Ideally, she hoped that conflict wouldn’t erupt until Lin Yuan returned. However, if it erupted, then she would just have to deal with it actively.

The Moon Empress had only been in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for a short period, yet she had thoroughly understood the situation and temperament of the native lifeforms. Conquests and massacres were common occurrences there, and to win in conquests, being powerful was important.

The Moon Empress felt an inexplicable pressure that had been lingering in her heart for a long time. She knew very well where the pressure was coming from.

Her sense of pressure stemmed from her weakness and inability to resolve anything in the Sky Beyond the Clouds with her strength. Despite this internal pressure, the Moon Empress remained a pragmatic individual.

Since she could not solve the problem with her strength, she began to work hard on her management and Creation Master abilities.

The Moon Empress had once again experienced a breakthrough in her Creation Master class. However, she did not tell anyone about it. First of all, there was no one to share this information with, as everyone was her junior. Additionally, the Moon Empress was aware that her Creation Master abilities held little significance in Sky City.

Perhaps it was the Moon Empress’ misconception, but she felt as if she had suddenly been enlightened after arriving at the Sky Beyond the Clouds. On the path of evolving as a Creation Master, she seemed to have lost the threshold.

The Moon Empress looked at the silent night in front of her and could feel faith power constantly gathering in her body. This faith power came from the faith country that Lin Yuan had advocated for. Now, the core members of Sky City, including some white-clothed followers, would be able to receive nourishment from the faith country.

Initially, even the Moon Empress could not understand why Lin Yuan had insisted on building a faith country. Now, everyone in Sky City understood Lin Yuan’s intentions and the importance of the faith country.

The faith country built in the Sky Beyond the Clouds was the cornerstone of the faith power needed for all members of Sky City to evolve to the next grade. Therefore, no matter what kind of enemy they faced, the faith country could not suffer any losses.

After careful consideration, the Moon Empress held the first meeting with Sky City’s core members after Lin Yuan left. During the meeting, the Moon Empress did not withhold information about the Spinning Wings White Falcons and the Crimson Heaven Falcons targeting the King Blood Jackals, as it was the biggest challenge Sky City would face after arriving at the Sky Beyond the Clouds. It was necessary for the core members to know about it.

…

While Sky City’s core members were convening, Lin Yuan had already met the person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace. He was an old man who looked very affable. His face was full of smiles, radiating an exceptionally warm and welcoming aura.

At present, Yu Run was choosing a room with Kani and was not with Lin Yuan. If he were present, he would still shiver uncontrollably even if the person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace appeared benevolent.

There were foreign factions in Fortune Treasure Palace that could not afford resources every day. Fortune Treasure Palace treated these foreign factions as troublemakers.

In order to maintain its authority, Fortune Treasure Palace was extremely heavy-handed against troublemakers. Those troublemakers were personally dealt with by the person in charge, who was like a Grim Reaper in Treasure City.

However, the person in charge had two completely different faces when facing troublemakers and people like Lin Yuan, who might potentially become special honor guests.

“Dear guests, may I know how I should address you? My name is Zhan Lu. I haven’t been a director in Treasure City’s Fortune Treasure Palace branch for long. Fortune Treasure Palace’s branches are established in every large city on every continent. Prior to this, I oversaw the branch in Yunfeng City on the Hanyun Continent.”

Zhan Lu introduced himself as soon as he arrived and talked about his past. It was obvious that he wanted to get closer to Lin Yuan and his companions.

Immediately after that, Zhan Lu proceeded to explain the Fortune Treasure Palace’s foundation to Lin Yuan. It was a display of strength, informing Lin Yuan and his companions about the advantages of becoming special honor guests.

In the main world, Lin Yuan had never nonchalantly, casually, or indifferently disclosed his name because doing so would allow others to uncover his background.

Lin Yuan had always been concerned about Chu Ci in the main world. However, ever since she became Cold Moon’s disciple, Lin Yuan no longer had to worry about her safety or had any need to conceal his identity in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

However, with Spring and Winter by his side, Lin Yuan didn’t have to respond to Zhan Lu personally.

Spring took a step forward and said coldly, “Zhan Lu, right? I’m Rising Spring, and he’s Rising Winter, and this is our Young Master, Lin Yuan.”

The names of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter came from their personalities as well as their physiques. However, using a single-character name while traveling outside did seem a bit odd.

As Lin Yuan’s followers, it was impossible for them to share the same surname as him. Therefore, Lin Yuan had deliberately chosen appropriate surnames for them.

Such a situation was not uncommon in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, but such rules were only used by powerful species and factions with long histories.

Before coming, Zhan Lu had communicated with the female attendant who had received Lin Yuan in detail and learned that an elderly person was preparing to verify his strength and obtain the identity of a special honor guest. However, it turned out that the elderly man was merely the servant of the young man before him.

Even though Zhan Lu had witnessed many things, he could not help but be surprised. What kind of status did the young man before him have to have a Holy Spirit expert as his personal servant when he went out?

From the way the elderly man looked at the young man, it was evident that the elderly man’s respect for him came from the bottom of his heart.

Zhan Lu hurriedly greeted Lin Yuan seriously and asked with a smile, “I wonder if the food here is delicious? Our food caters to the taste of the masses. If you have any specific ingredients that you’re more interested in, I can immediately get someone to cook and serve them to you!”

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He was quite receptive to the Fortune Treasure Palace’s approach of fostering friendships through food. However, he did not know if this was their style or if it applied to all the factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

“There’s no need for that. I would like to obtain the special honor guest status as soon as possible. Then, I’ll use my special honor guest status to negotiate a huge deal with your Fortune Treasure Palace. I’ve heard that special honor guests receive substantial discounts when trading resources. I’m curious about the extent of this discount.”

Lin Yuan had no prior connection with Zhan Lu, so he didn’t see the need to engage in conversation with him. After completing the transaction with Fortune Treasure Palace, Lin Yuan had other things to attend to.

Zhan Lu had not expected Lin Yuan to go straight to the point and express his intention to verify his identity as a special honor guest and trade with them. Zhan Lu had always liked such straightforward people.

However, there were only a few people who were as straightforward as Lin Yuan.

The last person who had wanted to have their identity verified by Zhan Lu had not been as forthright. They had made Zhan Lu serve them for a full five days before undergoing the identity verification. Fortunately, their identity was eventually verified. Otherwise, Zhan Lu might have resorted to drastic measures.

“Young Master Lin, our Fortune Treasure Palace needs to spend money to obtain resources. The items in this booth are sold at a markup of 20% above market price. However, if a special honor guest makes a deal with our Fortune Treasure Palace, we will only increase the price by 1% according to the cost price. This is the sincerity we offer to our special honor guests.”

Zhan Lu was very sincere when he said that. Since the Fortune Treasure Palace wanted to rope in Holy Spirit experts, they would naturally be very generous to these Holy Spirit experts.

Fortune Treasure Palace certainly aimed to make a profit in its business dealings. Channel resources were considered the most expensive among all the resources. Furthermore, it would cost a lot to obtain these resources and present them to the traders. Fortune Treasure Palace only earned 1% of the cost price, which was already the greatest sincerity.

Despite that, Fortune Treasure Palace still hoped that special honor guests would engage in large transactions. Even if the profit margin was lower, they would still make a profit.

In addition, if Fortune Treasure Palace wanted to improve its control over resources, it needed to constantly maintain the end channels. The best way to maintain the end channels was to have sufficient funds to speed up the operation of the trading chain and be in a state of demand for goods when the end channels were supplying it.

If Fortune Treasure Palace did not have enough funds to maintain these end channels, it wouldn’t be able to acquire resources from them when they became available. After a few times, it would cause a large loss of channels at the end.

Lin Yuan thought highly of Fortune Treasure Palace. If they only earned 1% of the cost price for special honor guests, Lin Yuan could trade more with them and treat them as an important channel for him to obtain resources!

Zhan Lu added at the right time, “Nevertheless, it’s important to note that special honor guests trading resources at Fortune Treasure Palace must use resources at the chips’ level, not Honor Absent dollars. It’s important that I explain the situation clearly in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future. I hope you can understand!”

Lin Yuan did not comment on Zhan Lu’s words.

The items exchanged by Holy Spirit special honor guests through Fortune Treasure Palace were undoubtedly very precious. Such high-level resources could not be traded equivalently with Honor Absent dollars. In the market, Honor Absent dollars couldn’t purchase materials of that caliber. Therefore, Fortune Treasure Palace still incurred some minor losses when exchanging chip-level materials for certain resources.

Winter took a step forward and said, “You can give me the Holy Presence Bodhi seed at any time to verify my strength. However, there should be more benefits to becoming a special honor guest, right? What do special honor guests like us need to do to enjoy the benefits?”

Winter’s question hit the nail on the head. Zhan Lu had wanted to explain to Winter the duties and rights of becoming a special honor guest.

Zhan Lu explained very seriously, “Apart from being able to trade resources at a discounted price in Fortune Treasure Palace, becoming a special honor guest also enables you to issue rewards through Fortune Treasure Palace missions.

“If any other special honor guest is interested in accepting the posted rewards, they will have to complete the mission within the specified time.

“Fortune Treasure Palace’s existence also provides a platform for the special honor guests to interact with each other.

“As for what the special honor guests should do for Fortune Treasure Palace, if we have any requests in the future, we hope that the special honor guests can do their best to help.

“At that time, we will take out sufficient resources to provide security for the special honor guests. We won’t let the special honor guests help for nothing!”

Upon hearing that, a half-smile appeared on Winter’s face. If Fortune Treasure Palace had such an intention, then the more one looked at it, the more it resembled the Divine Lifeform Pavilion from before.

Fortune Treasure Palace had roped in so many special honor guests who had reached the Holy Spirit level, indicating that they must have a big goal. However, there was no guarantee without restrictions.

Winter had always admired Lin Yuan’s actions.

If Lin Yuan had not used his divine kingdom to control Kani, Winter would have definitely not been at ease letting Kani follow Lin Yuan.

As Zhan Lu spoke, he handed the Holy Presence Bodhi seed he had prepared long ago to Winter. As soon as Winter’s hand touched the seed of the Holy Presence Bodhi, the brown seed lit up with a mixed light!
