Chapter 3103  Ancient Snake Gu Palace!

In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, regardless of the species, a lifespan of less than a hundred years was absolutely considered a young one. Moreover, the aura of lifespan could not be concealed. Even if someone underwent reincarnation through a specific method, they would still be detected.

The various factions that had come to South Face City were all here for top grade blessed lands, without any weaklings to speak of.

Zhao Chen originally intended to advise his fourth uncle not to get involved. Within the Zhao family, his participation alone was sufficient. However, Zhao Wei insisted on representing the Zhao family and staying there. He wanted to use this trade fair to test Lin Yuan's strength.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, a few of the faction members deliberately released their auras toward him. On the one hand, they wanted to probe Lin Yuan's background, and on the other hand, they also wanted to deliberately witness him being put in his place.

Unexpectedly, before the aura could hit Lin Yuan, a murderous aura was emitted from Autumn, who was standing in front of him.

A few fallen leaves flashed past, and those who had just released their auras at Lin Yuan had their necks and heads cut off by the leaves.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, he would not be able to withstand the aura if it landed on him.

These individuals came to Lin Yuan's trade fair looking for trouble as soon as they arrived, even threatening Lin Yuan's safety with covert actions. Autumn would by no means tolerate such behavior.

As soon as they arrived, the organizer proceeded to kill those causing trouble, leading to chaos erupting on the scene.

The individuals slain by Autumn belonged to various factions. Now, representatives from these factions all demanded an explanation.

"We came to attend this trade fair as guests. What's the meaning behind your actions? Aren't you afraid of us turning against you by doing this? Our people cannot die in vain. You must give us an explanation. As the organizer, indiscriminate killing at the trade fair shows blatant disregard for all the attendees."

Members of these factions were frantically causing trouble for Lin Yuan. On the one hand, they sought to continue probing into Lin Yuan's background. On the other, it was driven by fear.

Upon arrival, these experts had already investigated Autumn's aura, yet they couldn't detect even the slightest trace of it emanating from him. However, Autumn's sudden display of astonishing strength instilled fear in them.

This was also the reason these troublemaking factions aimed to drag down other factions present, subtly coercing them into involvement through their words.

Autumn was only in charge of protecting Lin Yuan. With Lin Yuan around, Autumn would not rashly say anything.

These clamorous individuals dared not use their aura to confront Lin Yuan anymore, so after a cold snort from Autumn, he remained silent and refrained from speaking further.

Lin Yuan said in a calm and loud voice. "I don't mean anything. Since this is a trade fair organized by me, I naturally set the rules. Of course you have to pay the price for using your aura to attack me. They have already paid the price for their actions. Why do you want to follow in their footsteps?"

Lin Yuan swept his gaze across everyone who had come to participate in the trade fair and said slowly, "Anyone who wants to turn against me for the sake of these people can step forward now. Causing trouble here will only lead to a dead end. I think the various factions have come here to exchange for Creator resources. If any faction regrets participating in this trade fair, you can leave now. Those who don't leave must abide by the rules I set."

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Even those factions that had lost their experts no longer dared to open their mouths.

As soon as Autumn made a move, he intimidated all the experts present.

The City Lord of South Face City, Xie Lin, did not personally attend this auction but instead dispatched one of his trusted subordinates.

After thinking about it, Xie Lin felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to attend such a gathering as the City Lord.

Xie Lin ensured his trusted subordinate had ample resources on hand. If this wasn't a hoax, he could guarantee that his subordinate would be able to secure a significant amount of Grade 4 Creator resources. If it was false, deceiving so many factions would surely come with consequences.

Jia Mingda was a general under Xie Lin and was highly valued by Xie Lin. Normally, it was Jia Mingda who went around threatening others, but now it was the first time he had been threatened by someone else. However, Jia Mingda dared not say much in the crowd because he realized he couldn't fully gauge Autumn's strength.

In this situation, even if Jia Mingda were audacious by nature, he wouldn't dare to provoke trouble. Even though he might be bold, Jia Mingda was also very clever. He was well aware that the current situation in South Face City was different from usual.

Many powerful factions had come to South Face City, and these truly formidable factions might not necessarily fear Xie Lin. Otherwise, with Lin Yuan, an outsider, openly killing experts from the local faction within South Face City, Jia Mingda would inevitably have to make a statement.

Allowing the local factions of South Face City to be killed under their noses would significantly diminish the City Lord's prestige. However, Jia Mingda dared not speak up due to the circumstances.

After nearly five minutes, not a single faction left the trade fair, so Lin Yuan said bluntly, "Since everyone aims to gain from this trade fair, let's refrain from causing trouble. Now, all factions should register with Zhao Chen first, then exchange their rightful resources from him.

"Ultimately, the decision to summon is up to your personal discretion, with no coercion involved. However, once a bid is made, it cannot be changed, so there's no point in bargaining as it won't lead to any changes in price."

Lin Yuan raised his hand and released a total of 120 Deposit Vegetable Pods that had taken human form. He let them verify the resources with the factions present before conducting the transaction.

Lin Yuan did not intend to hold a bidding auction like Zhao Chen did when selling talents back then. He had already informed these Deposit Vegetable Pods about the assessment method for pricing.

These Deposit Vegetable Pods simply needed to be exchanged according to the prices set by Lin Yuan. Their role was merely to assist in the transactions.

As Lin Yuan understood the importance of Creator resources to the various factions, he lowered the exchange ratio of various items and spirit qi crystals. This allowed Lin Yuan to use limited spirit qi crystals to exchange for more resources.

Although Lin Yuan had lowered the exchange ratios of various resources with spirit qi crystals, the various factions were still desperately trying to sell all the resources they had once the actual trading began. This was because even if Lin Yuan had raised the ratio, it was still extremely cost-effective for the various factions.

Lin Yuan had sent these Deposit Vegetable Pods to filter the resources. Those resources that were too low grade or not very useful had been filtered out by the Deposit Vegetable Pods.

Zhao Chen was busy at the trade fair and had been communicating with the Deposit Vegetable Pods at the event.

Soon, Zhao Chen realized that the hundreds of millions of spirit qi crystals that Lin Yuan had prepared were probably going to be used up because the various factions had prepared too many resources.

In Zhao Chen's eyes, the Grade 4 Creator resources that were allocated were much more precious than these raw materials.

Zhao Chen's heart ached when he saw Lin Yuan. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Young Master Lin, the spirit qi crystals you prepared are most likely about to be sold out. All the factions have gathered here. Do you think we should end this trade fair? I see that many factions have arranged for people to continue gathering resources. They clearly want to use this opportunity to make a fortune from Young Master Lin."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow at the remark. Zhao Chen clearly presumed too much. It was still uncertain who would truly prosper here!

"If all the spirit qi crystals I prepared previously are used up, I can take out another batch."

Zhao Chen had always regarded Lin Yuan as extremely mature and shrewd. However, upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel that Lin Yuan was merely a pampered and sheltered individual.

In Zhao Chen's opinion, there was no need for Lin Yuan to sell these spirit qi crystals. No matter how many spirit qi crystals the various factions traded with Lin Yuan, they would not remember his kindness.

Seeing Lin Yuan's attitude, Zhao Chen did not know what to say. If the various factions present knew that he had messed up this trade fair, they would definitely find trouble with him.

The trade fair lasted for three days. Since all the resources that the various factions could exchange for had been exhausted, the entire trade fair officially ended.

Genius was extremely happy with the resources Lin Yuan had obtained from the transaction in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. If it gave these various resources to the Hundred Questions Beast Army, they would be able to advance to a higher level.

…

After the trade fair ended, Lin Yuan did not speak immediately, but none of the people present had any intention of leaving.

Jia Mingda was the first to express his desire to visit Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan did not meet with Jia Mingda. Instead, he let the Deposit Vegetable Pod reply to Jia Mingda arrogantly, "My master has stated a preference for communicating only with the leader of a faction. I'm sorry, but you're not quite qualified to communicate with him."

After this Deposit Vegetable Pod replied to Jia Mingda, it said to the various factions present, "Now, everyone should be gathered in South Face City for the top grade blessed land. Any faction that aims to cause trouble and make a quick profit are all inferior factions.

"My master intends to establish an alliance, where we cooperate to compete for this top grade blessed land. This will facilitate mutual trading of resources in the future. If the leaders of the various factions are present and are interested in joining the alliance, come to me. I'll bring you to meet my master later."

The Deposit Vegetable Pod's words made Jia Mingda's expression change. It turned out that the mysterious youth had set his sights on that top grade blessed land.

Having the ability to casually throw out so many Creator resources, he indeed possessed the confidence to compete for this blessed land. In this manner, the intentions of this young man and Xie Lin seemed to be in perfect harmony. The two sides became competitors.

After all, there was only one top grade blessed land. After thinking about it, Jia Mingda felt that he should go back and tell Xie Lin the information first. In the end, Xie Lin would make the decision himself.

Upon learning about Lin Yuan's intentions, the expressions of the members from various factions couldn't help but become complex. Not only did Lin Yuan have the same goal as Xie Lin, the City Lord of South Face City, but he also had the same goal as many factions.

Of course, there were also factions present that Lin Yuan just referred to as inferior.

Indeed, many factions arrived here with the intention of making some extra profit. However, these factions dare not openly cause trouble for Lin Yuan.

Despite knowing their own faction's limited strength, these factions still harbored the idea of forming an alliance with Lin Yuan. It was for no other reason than to continue trading resources from Lin Yuan in the future.

Ling Muzhuo, the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace, arrived in South Face City a little later, but he still successfully participated in this trade fair.

At that moment, Ling Muzhuo's heart was filled with a mixture of shock and joy. Ling Muzhuo felt fortunate that he had formed a good relationship with Lin Yuan early on. However, he was surprised because although he had already held Lin Yuan in high regard to the best of his ability, he hadn't anticipated Lin Yuan's remarkable capabilities.

Upon arriving in South Face City, Lin Yuan directly adopted the posture of a strong dragon looking to dominate over the local snake.

Originally, Fortune Treasure Palace also wanted to compete for this top grade blessed land. Ling Muzhuo personally led the team along with the experts that Fortune Treasure Palace had spent a lot of resources to consecrate.

Ling Muzhuo knew very well that if Fortune Treasure Palace insisted on fighting for this top grade blessed land, they would become Lin Yuan's competitors regardless of whether they succeeded or not—this was not the outcome that Ling Muzhuo wanted to see.

Moreover, after evaluating the situation in South Face City, Zhao Chen couldn't shake off a strange feeling that the circumstances in South Face City were somewhat unusual.

From the strength he currently possessed, it was evident that he didn't have enough to compete for this top grade blessed land.

At present, most of the people in Fortune Treasure Palace were exploring the abyss, so they could not send experts here.

Ling Muzhuo silently acknowledged that since Fortune Treasure Palace's chance of obtaining the top grade blessed land was slim, it might be better to lower his sights and not vie for it. Instead, he could choose to assist Lin Yuan and strive to gain more of his friendship.

Ling Muzhuo did not rely on his special relationship with Lin Yuan to contact him directly through the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower.

Ling Muzhuo followed Lin Yuan's protocol and reported to the Deposit Vegetable Pod. With the decision to give up on competing for the top grade blessed land, Ling Muzhuo suddenly felt a sense of relief. It would not be too late for him to meet Lin Yuan alone after Lin Yuan had interacted with the factions that wanted to cooperate.

In addition to negotiating cooperation, Ling Muzhuo also wanted to discuss with Lin Yuan about the turmoil and crisis in South Face City, as well as his lingering sense of unease.

Ling Muzhuo's sense of unease did not come out of nowhere, but through some information he had obtained.

Ling Muzhuo secretly thought that by now, Lin Yuan probably had some information. If he provided his own information to Lin Yuan, it would likely be of considerable help to him.

The Ancient Snake Gu Palace, which once brought chaos to the four universes and plunged the West Universe into turmoil, reemerged in the world. It was feared that it would undoubtedly bring about a great deal of bloodshed and turmoil.

As for the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, they were most likely targeting this top grade blessed land. This was because the people from Fortune Treasure Palace had discovered traces of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace when they were investigating this top grade blessed land.

Ancient Snake Gu Palace respected the snake species and ruled other lifeforms with all kinds of Gu. It was unknown how many factions had been infiltrated by Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
