Unfortunately, Lin Yuan was unable to collect the amazonite he required.
It was not that there were no group members that were willing to trade with Lin Yuan, but because the most a group member could offer was only 50 kilograms.
The other group members would only be able to offer about 5 kilograms.
Lin Yuan wanted to exchange 3 tons of amazonite for one Cloud Dream Lake elemental pearl.
The amount they could offer was too little to trade with Lin Yuan.
Even if Lin Yuan was willing to crush the Cloud Dream Lake elemental pearls into powder to trade, the group members with amazonite might not agree.
Once a heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl reached a purity of at least 95%, its effects would not change by much.
Heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were so highly sought after because the outer layers were so beautiful.
If it was crushed into a powder, the outer layer’s beauty would be destroyed, along with its value.
Moreover, Lin Yuan needed the amazonite to cover the bottom of Submerged Flood Dragon Lake. Hence, he needed even more amazonite than he did Revival Soil and soil-nourishing clay.
The best way for Lin Yuan to attain the mountain of amazonite he needed was to approach a faction that could sell it to him all at once.
This made Lin Yuan think of the Sea Bliss Clan.
The Sea Bliss Clan’s private faction territory on Star Web had amazonite covering the ground.
However, the amazonite that the Sea Bliss Clan used to cover the ground did not meet Lin Yuan’s standards. He needed amazonite that was at least as pure as the Sea Bliss Clan’s Immortal Bliss tablet.
The Sea Bliss Clan viewed Immortal Bliss tablets as collateral consumables.
When people bought Immortal Bliss tablets as a gateway to buying Angelfish of Bliss, they might as well have bought an amazonite carving that was several times more expensive than the market price. Hence, the Sea Bliss Clan had definitely accumulated a fair amount of amazonite.
Lin Yuan hatched a plan.
Since I already established a collaboration with the Sea Bliss Clan, I don’t think they’ll refuse if I ask for amazonite.
At that moment, at the north of Quiet Flow City…
In a palatial manor by the sea, a sinister-looking man with a long beard fiercely slapped the table five times before he roared, “Bullies! The Miao family’s Connected Beast Park are tyrants!”
Next to this man sat a young man with slitted eyes and thin lips.
When the young man saw how angry his father was, he glared angrily at the blue-robed man who was kneeling at their feet.
The blue-robed Feng Qi kept his head low as he wallowed in how wronged he felt.
He had clearly asked his Master if they should go through with the partnership with Sky City.
If the Sea Bliss Clan collaborated with Sky City, it would strongly boost the Sea Bliss Clan’s power.
His Master had been over the moon and told him to do whatever it took to seal the collaboration with Sky City.
But when he returned, his Master had received news in the middle of the celebration and became enraged.
Sky City had clashed with Connected Beast Park over the Sun family’s Condense Fairy Orchard after Sky City, and the Sea Bliss Clan had confirmed their partnership.
Who could have predicted this?
Compared to Connected Beast Park’s pressure on the Sea Bliss Clan, Feng Qi felt that Sky City was a larger force to be reckoned with and could help the Sea Bliss Clan in more ways.
However, Feng Qi did not have the right to interject when the Sea Bliss Clan’s inner group was making decisions.
The young man with the slitted eyes and thin lips looked back at his father after glaring at Feng Qi.
He spoke after a moment’s pondering. “Father, Connected Beast Park’s termination of their partnership with us is too unreasonable. I remember that most of our partnerships have signed guarantees from the Spirit Guards.”
The young man stopped talking, but his words had caused his father’s expression to shift.
“Haitao, you’ve grown up. Since you have an opinion, speak your mind.”
The young man called Haitao’s eyes lit up with a cunning gleam.
“Our Sea Bliss Clan managed to transition from a rising faction to a veteran faction thanks to the Angelfish of Bliss. Afterward, we also started nurturing other aquatic fey besides the Angelfish of Bliss. This allowed us to become a top veteran faction.
“However, we still depend on the Angelfish of Bliss, and our prosperity is linked to our dominance in the Angelfish of Bliss market. Even if other vendors start selling the Angelfish of Bliss, their source will be limited to wild Angelfish of Bliss. Even if those wild Angelfish of Bliss produce eggs, they won’t be able to hatch without our special potion.
“Recently, the Sea Bliss Clan’s progress has been hindered by our lack of Creation Master resources, and all that we could get our hands on went toward nurturing the Angelfish of Bliss. This has resulted in us needing to turn to other factions’ Creation Master resources for help in order to nurture our other aquatic feys. This leads to a high cost every year.
“This time, Connected Beast Park’s pressure on the Sea Bliss Clan will cause us to lose business for our other aquatic feys. Even if we break off our connection to Sky City, the Miao family is so unreasonable that they are sure to continue coming after us. We will no longer be able to partner up smoothly with them.
“I think we should become as close to Sky City as possible. I think we should just tear the bandage off and give up all our other aquatic fey businesses so we can focus on nurturing the Angelfish of Bliss.
“If we make use of the next ten years properly, we might become strong enough to fight the elite factions. The Miao family will never see this plan coming. Then, we’ll be able to use the contract we signed with the Miao family from the Sea Bliss Clan to force the Miao family to pay us an enormous compensation. With that money, the Miao family might as well have footed the bill we incurred for changing our business model.
“Hehe, no matter how unreasonable the Miao family is, they’ll never be able to match up to the Spirit Guards.”
