Lin Yuan immediately said, “Big Brother Long, you’re too kind. Li Xuan is coming to my place. If you come too, we can go to the House of Enviable Fragrance together.”
Long Tao chuckled and replied, “Okay. I’ll reserve a table at the House of Enviable Fragrance and head over with my father.”
Lin Yuan remembered Brocade Zither, which he had spent an entire day nurturing in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, and said, “I’ve prepared the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls that we agreed on. You can take them back with you this time.”
A look of delight spread across Long Tao’s face. The Law Crystal had helped his father greatly. In a way, Lin Yuan had saved the Long family.
The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls would benefit the Coiling Dragon’s Valley’s expansion as it increased their elite Creation Master resources by 10%.
Long Tao knew that his father had asked to see Lin Yuan to express his thanks but also to establish a deeper partnership with Lin Yuan.
Since Lin Yuan could produce 17 Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls so quickly, it meant that Lin Yuan had a decent store of Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls on hand.
Coiling Dragon’s Valley still had the chance to trade for more Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls with Lin Yuan.
After Lin Yuan hung up the call with Long Tao, he went downstairs to the lobby to see the Mother of Bloodbath sitting on the water rhinoceros leather sofa entertaining Li Xuan and a white-haired elderly man with exceptionally bright eyes.
The Mother of Bloodbath stood up when it saw Lin Yuan.
The elderly man next to Li Xuan stood up, and Lin Yuan rushed to hand a Gold fey storage box to the Mother of Bloodbath.
Inside the Gold fey storage box were some of the Blood Brew Grapevine’s slightly withered old leaves.
The process of withering could not be reversed. Even if these old leaves were left on the Blood Brew Grapevine, they would still end up withering.
Hence, Lin Yuan had pruned the old leaves. The Mother of Bloodbath could absorb the blood energy from these old leaves to increase its power.
Lin Yuan shot Li Xuan a radiant smile and said, “Big Brother Li, I’m done with my tasks. Sorry to have made you wait.”
The way Lin Yuan addressed Li Xuan made the white-haired elderly man’s nostrils contract.
The way that the elderly man looked at Li Xuan changed.
Although Dark Clouds Bird Shrine had been an elite faction for over 40 years, their fundamentals were not as strong as the other veteran elite factions.
But in terms of manpower, most top factions could not compete with the Li family.
Ascending Dragon City’s Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Wind Mist City’s Gao family only had one direct descendent, while the ruined Condense Fairy Orchard only had two.
Connected Beast Park did have more disciples than other top factions, but they only had about 10 young direct descendants.
However, there were 23 young direct descendants in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
As the oldest direct descendant in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, Li Xuan was always respected in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
But in recent years, the young direct descendants in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine were growing up, and Li Xuan felt increasing pressure.
However, now that the Moon Empress’ disciple had called Li Xuan ‘Big Brother’, it meant that they had a very good relationship.
Although the Radiance Federation seemed to be thriving with other 50 top factions, only the top 20 candidates who had learned from over a century of top factions’ skills had the right to interact with the Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and Bamboo Monarch.
Although Dark Clouds Bird Shrine had been rising rapidly, they still did not have the right to interact with the Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and Bamboo Monarch.
Thus, Dark Clouds Bird Shrine had yet to gain a Law Source Crystal with pure law power.
Yet, Li Xuan had done what none of his elders could have done.
Li Xuan had formed a connection with the Moon Empress.
This was enough for the elderly man to re-evaluate Li Xuan’s position in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
After Lin Yuan and Li Xuan greeted each other, Lin Yuan turned to the white-haired elderly man next to Li Xuan and noticed the change in the way that the elderly man looked at Li Xuan.
Lin Yuan immediately understood what was going on.
He smiled slightly and nodded at the elderly man before turning to say to Li Xuan, “Big Brother Li, why don’t we all take a seat? Long Tao will be here soon. Big Brother Li, if you have time later on, why don’t we go to the House of Enviable Fragrance again?”
Li Xuan looked at Lin Yuan with gratitude.
He had brought his elder to see Lin Yuan to prove that he had a plan for his personal networks.
Hence, Li Xuan had intentionally invited the First Elder in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
Now that the First Elder saw Li Xuan’s relationship with Lin Yuan, Li Xuan’s position in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine would be significantly elevated.
At that moment, Li Xuan noticed Lin Yuan wink at him.
Lin Yuan picked up the Dehua porcelain teapot and poured Three Treasures Tea for the Mother of Bloodbath, the Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s First Elder, Li Xuan, and himself.
As the fragrance of the tea permeated into the air around them, Lin Yuan said to the Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s First Elder, “Senior, please have some Three Treasures Tea. The pine plum flowers and pinecones were harvested from Leaning Moon Mountain. There’s also some Buddha’s hand citrus added in. It tastes pretty good.”
The Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s First Elder quivered when he heard Lin Yuan’s introduction of the Three Treasures Tea.
Pine needles, plum flowers, and pine cones were ordinary ingredients that could be obtained from anywhere.
However, these ingredients in particular were priceless because they came from Leaning Moon Mountain.
The soil from Leaning Moon Mountain could not be bought without permission from the Moon Empress.
The Dark Clouds Bird Shrine’s First Elder had also noted Lin Yuan’s respectful nature when he saw the order in which Lin Yuan poured the tea.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have poured the tea for himself last.
At first, Li Xuan did not understand why Lin Yuan had blinked at him.
Now that he heard what Lin Yuan said, he immediately understood Lin Yuan’s intention.
Warmth flooded Li Xuan’s heart.
