Chapter 66: Mishaps
Lin Yuan pulled Chu Ci toward the masked man’s counter.
Before encountering it, Lin Yuan hadn’t even dared to choose the Blue Flash Butterfly. He hadn’t put the Blue Flash Butterfly within his consideration during his contemplation because of the rarity. However, since he found one now, and it was a coincidental encounter, it was definitely a great opportunity.
Lin Yuan didn’t have a reason not to grab this opportunity. Thus, he had already silently decided to obtain this Blue Flash Butterfly no matter what.
Chu Ci could see that Lin Yuan’s expression had turned serious when he was walking toward the four cocoons. She simply followed Lin Yuan silently and carefully observed the four cocoons. She couldn’t see anything abnormal with them, but she knew that the cocoons were extraordinary because Lin Yuan viewed them with such seriousness.
“Could I ask for the price of the four cocoons?” Lin Yuan asked.
When the voice reached the masked man’s ears, he didn’t stand up and just responded indifferently, “I will only accept if you take them all. You just have to pay me 120 Radiance dollars, and you can take them all.”
Lin Yuan was astonished. Although 120 Radiance dollars wasn’t a price that was enough to purchase a Blue Flash Butterfly, it was still too expensive for cocoons.
After all, it was impossible to check what the cocoons contained. Each cocoon was like a fortune bag as it was unknown what would fly out of the cocoon. As such, it was extremely rare for cocoons to be sold on the market.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
Lin Yuan might want the Blue Flash Butterfly, but he wouldn’t immediately decide to purchase these four cocoons.
Just as he was thinking of how to counteroffer, a middle-aged lady beside Lin Yuan suddenly said, “Young man, don’t be cheated! This person has been here for several days. It is unknown what backhanded methods he has actually used to set up a stall with four butterfly cocoons! How can butterfly cocoons be qualified to be sold in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion!? The other stalls are only selling butterfly cocoons for 50,000 Federation dollars, but this person is selling one cocoon for 30 Radiance dollars. Will a Bronze fey fly out of it directly?”
The middle-aged lady was obviously afraid that Lin Yuan might be swindled and had spoken slightly louder. Numerous people in the vicinity started to look in their direction.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard the masked man’s exhausted and hoarse voice. “These four cocoons are all butterfly cocoons. They all came from the depths of the Endless Forest.”
Lin Yuan didn’t expect that his slight hesitation had caused so many mishaps.
Now that the seller had left, it was obvious that the trade wasn’t going to happen. Since the masked man had already said he would be there the next day, Lin Yuan decided to return tomorrow.
Lin Yuan didn’t really have peace of mind since he hadn’t completed the trade and obtained the Blue Flash Butterfly. At the same time, Lin Yuan had an idea. If he were to find another good fey, as long as he could afford it, he wouldn’t hesitate. Otherwise, the opportunity might just slip away in an instant.
After experiencing this incident, Lin Yuan wasn’t in the mood to continue shopping around the Rare Lifeform Pavilion’s first floor.
If he could complete this trade tomorrow, one of these four butterfly cocoons would contain the Vajra Butterfly. Thus, Chu Ci would also obtain her second fey. Everything would be decided tomorrow night.
After sending Chu Ci back to the academy, Lin Yuan took a car and arrived at the Creation Master Association’s vicinity. He then looked for a place to reside and prepared to participate in the Creation Master exam tomorrow morning.
...
In the city lord residence, which wasn’t far from the Creation Master Association, was a woman seated on the city lord residence’s lord seat. She was wearing alizarin, crimson clothes.
She spoke to three individuals who were standing before her.
“Add twice as many men at the dimensional rifts around Redbud City’s vicinity. Reinforcements must be provided within two months. Put tomorrow’s matters aside and prepare a proposal to discuss with me at night.”
Two of the men acknowledged and withdrew from the place, while an old man continued to stand there. “Lordess Ling Xiao, may I know your opinion on the seeded participants from this batch’s spirit qi students?” he asked.
Ling Xiao took out a massive silk book. It was filled with rows of personal information, but almost all of them had been crossed out.
The silk book had over 100 nominations of seeded participants, and there were only five that had been given a tick. There were also close to 30 that were given a question mark.
“I have already decided on 5 of the 20 Redbud Hundred’s seeded participants. The remaining 34 will be kept for observation. Pay more attention to the student whose Elite fey has the Sacrifice ability. If the student has great potential, then add that student too.”
