Chapter 1407: The Fifth Disaster
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since Ji Feng had addressed Lin Yuan as ‘Young Master’, it meant that he was one of Lin Yuan’s servants. When were servants able to drink high-quality wine?
Li Wan took a deep breath and picked up a pitcher of freshly squeezed juice. She poured out a glass each for Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and the young girl.
At first, the girl was slightly afraid.
Lin Yuan could tell how much she wanted to drink the juice but was too afraid to do so. He pushed the cup of juice over to her and said, “Drink it. If you want more, I’m sure President Li Wan will be happy to give you a refill.”
He gave the pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts to Li Wan and said, “This pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts should be enough to trade for all the weather-producing feys in the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, right?”
!!
Li Wan received the Item-Storing Walnuts and looked them over carefully. Her expression changed abruptly.
When she held them close, she could detect the faint fragrance of nature.
This meant that they had just been plucked from the Item-Storing Walnut Trees and had their skin removed. It could not have been ten days since they were plucked.
This meant that it was likely that he had a Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut Tree.
Now, Li Wan no longer thought about how she could trade for the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts but how she could establish a long-term working relationship with Lin Yuan.
With the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s auction was sure to be a success. However, they would inevitably be bought by someone.
Once the pair of Item-Storing Walnut Trees was gone, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce would still be unable to compete with the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce and Profit Source Chamber of Commerce despite becoming more reputable.
If they were able to ensure a constant stream of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts at future Prosperous Chamber of Commerce auctions, they would be able to stand their ground against the other two chambers of commerce.
Li Wan organized her thoughts and said, “Young Master Lin, we have seven Clear Sunshine Flowers, Nine Cloudy Fog Sunflowers, six Snow Crystal Orchids, seven Hazy Wind Grass, and only about four Thunder Clap Chrysanthemums. However, we only have one Rainbow Jade Hibiscus at our Great Lush Federation branch. I can give you a 10% discount which means their total value is 5.76 million.
“However, this pair of freshly plucked Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts will go for at least 25 million at the auction. The highest price that Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts have been auctioned off for is 35 million. It happened at an auction in Sacred Forest City. Still, we are unable to offer such a high price. How about I price them at 31 million? Would that be okay with you?”
Lin Yuan had heard from Zhang Tong and Luo Ya about the value of the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts. Both of them had said that they were worth at least 28 million. The price that Li Wan stated fell within this range.
It was unlikely that the Item-Storing Walnuts would fetch a price of 31 million Great Lush dollars.
An auction placed a maximum price on every item to prevent an outbreak of aggression.

It seemed that Li Wan was not trying to make money off of this deal with Lin Yuan. Rather, she would be spending money to pay for an improvement in their reputation.
Moreover, Li Wan had given him a discount on the weather-producing feys. This meant that she had saved him several hundred thousand Great Lush dollars.
Lin Yuan was extremely pleased by the trade that Li Wan was proposing.
“Let’s do it as you said. As for the remaining 20 million Great Lush dollars, I will account for it using the items on the list you gave me. Don’t worry. I will still leave some items. I won’t buy the items that I don’t need. If I’m interested in any of the items, I don’t mind providing your auction with even more items.”
Another pair of Item-Storing Walnuts appeared in Lin Yuan’s hand.
Li Wan’s heart almost erupted with delight.
She had been afraid that Lin Yuan would buy up all the items available for auction.
But with this pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s auction was sure to be packed.
But if Lin Yuan bought up all the items, the auction would still be a failure, and people might discover the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s situation.
When Lin Yuan took out another pair of the Item-Storing Walnuts, Li Wan could confirm that he did have the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut Tree. There was no other reason to explain why he had so many freshly plucked Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.
This discovery made Li Wan certain that the family Lin Yuan came from had a Creation Master that was at least Class 4.
Her family, which was in decline, would not be able to compare to such a family.
At that moment, Elder Duan walked in with the list of items to be auctioned off. He was also carrying a tray with 34 plants on it.
There was a small scene above the tray. It depicted a sunny sky with a tornado brewing on one side and a snowstorm with flashing lightning and thunder on the other side. There was a rainbow between the two sides that seemed to connect them.
Lin Yuan noticed that all the weather-producing plant-type feys were Normal quality.
All of them were about the same size as the Flower Brocade Pearls. This meant that they would not take up much space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone while still enabling Gray to absorb various types of weather.
Since they were all Normal quality, it meant that the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce had nurtured them. Another possibility was that they had a source to buy these feys.
Lin Yuan received the list from Elder Duan but did not immediately read through it.
Instead, he looked up at Li Wan and said, “Is it possible for me to order weather-producing feys from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce in the future?”
Li Wan had been struggling to come up with a way to establish a lasting connection with Lin Yuan. But now, he had solved the problem for her.
She said with a smile, “Of course you can. Besides the Clear Sunshine Flower, Cloudy Fog Sunflower, Snow Crystal Orchid, Hazy Wind Grass, and Thunder Clap Chrysanthemum, I can also obtain others like the Soft Rain Lotus.”
