Fey Evolution Merchant

While Begin Lady was speaking, it plucked three strands of its silky hair and handed them to Lin Yuan.

"When I'm sleeping, my soul will enter a state of stillness. Until my soul is done transforming, I can be awoken three times. If you ever need me, set a strand of hair alight using spiritual energy and I will awake. Before my soul is done transforming, it will be a burden to me to use my soul to sustain my body. I would like to find a place on you to rest."

While Begin Lady was speaking, it changed into a pink and gold crystal and gently landed on the corner of Lin Yuan's eye as though it was nothing more than a shining teardrop.

Lin Yuan did not expect Begin Lady to choose to go through its transformation on his face.

In its crystal form on the corner of his eye, all Lin Yuan felt was refreshing coolness. He was not uncomfortable in the slightest.

Lin Yuan just took it as there was a pink and gold crystal adorning his eye and did not think much of it.

However, when Ding Chengshuo saw Lin Yuan's face, he was shocked by beauty in a way that he had never experienced before.

Ding Chengshuo was a pinnacle king-class expert and had lived for a long time. When he was young, he had entered the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court, gunning for a brighter future.

Eventually, he entered the Yu family and remained there for almost 40 years.

It could be said that he had seen countless handsome faces in his time.

Moreover, he had seen Lin Yuan's true appearance long ago and had not yet gotten over his amazement at Lin Yuan's features and aura.

But when Ding Chengshuo first saw Lin Yuan's true appearance, he had not felt this sense of marvel so deep that it rattled his soul.

He was so amazed that he found it difficult to tear his eyes away from Lin Yuan's face.

Ding Chengshuo took a closer look and noticed that the pink and gold crystal that Begin Lady had transformed into complemented Lin Yuan's aura extremely well.

Moreover, the aura from the pink and gold crystal was somewhat similar to Lin Yuan's innate aura.

Soon after Ding Chengshuo entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, Lin Yuan had stored him in the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad.

As such, Ding Chengshuo did not know who Begin Lady was. Nonetheless, he was certain that Begin Lady came from inside the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.

Soon after Ding Chengshuo was released, he could feel that the Holy Lady had inexplicable respect for Begin Lady.

This discovery shocked Ding Chengshuo.

But ever since becoming Lin Yuan's subordinate, Ding Chengshuo learned it was better not to ask too many questions. All he needed to do was play his own role.

This was because more knowledge did not always bring more benefits.

On the way back to the tree castle, Lin Yuan could clearly sense the people around him staring. However, he did not pay too much mind to it.

Once Lin Yuan returned to the tree castle, the faction members keeping watch by the entrance were all astonished.

To their memory, Lin Yuan had not left the tree castle ever since two days ago when he returned from having a meal.

So how did he appear outside of the tree castle without them noticing?

If this was the case, who was the person who had returned to the tree castle!?

The faction members present knew of what had transpired in the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court because the imperial court had not tried to hide the Su family and Bai family's assault on the Yang family at all.

After the many events that took place in the Divine Wood Federation, the faction members who were stationed to keep watch became aware that Sky Creation was extremely important.

Hence, none of them dared to be careless.

Lin Yuan found out long ago that many factions from the Divine Wood Federation had stationed their members outside the tree castle to keep watch over him.

This was why he instructed the Death Demon Concubine Beast to change into a clone of him to distract these prying eyes.

But now that he had achieved what he wanted and his goal of entering the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, there was no need for Lin Yuan to hide anything.

From what Begin Lady had told him, it meant that Yang Sijie had already realized who he was and that the Yang family was about to take action.

Lin Yuan turned to Ding Chengshuo and said, "City Lord Ding, it's likely that the Yang family knows that I entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. If you go back to staying where you usually reside, you'll probably be in danger. Why don't you spend the next few days in the tree castle?

"Once the matter is settled, I will send you back to Oak City. You performed very well this time. When you return to Oak City, I will evolve the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle to Creation Breed and you to thearch-class."

Lin Yuan handed a brocade pouch to Ding Chengshuo. There were ten earth-type and ten water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls inside the brocade pouch.

Ding Chengshuo excitedly received the brocade potch.

Ding Chengshuo had been thinking about what he would do if the Yang family discovered Lin Yuan's identity.

He was the one who had brought Lin Yuan into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. The faction members who made it out of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm alive could prove this.

Thus, he was likely to become a target for the Yang family.

Once he became a target for the Yang family, his crime of taking an outsider into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm would be enough for him to be served the death sentence.

At first, Ding Chengshuo wanted to wait until they arrived at the entrance of the tree castle to bring this up to Lin Yuan.

However, Lin Yuan extended an invitation to him first.

Ding Chengshuo had realized early on that Lin Yuan did not only see his subordinates as tools. If he did, he would not reward Ding Chengshuo so handsomely after he had lost all of his value.

The way that Lin Yuan treated his subordinates made Ding Chengshuo aware that Lin Yuan always had a backup plan and was also capable of attaining enormous opportunities.

The value of the 20 water- and earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls was even greater than the family that Ding Chengshuo had spent the past few decades working hard to build.

If he had not coincidentally become Lin Yuan's subordinate, he would not be able to become a thearch-class expert even after another 20 years.

With so many resources, it was possible that thearch-class would not be his limit as long as he remained by Lin Yuan's side.

Ding Chengshuo was currently weaker than Yi Huailong. Yet, Ding Chengshuo did not see himself as less valuable than Yi Huailong.

After all, he was a Class 4 Creation Master. Even if Lin Yuan's faction had a Class 5 Creation Master, he would not turn his nose up at a Class 4 Creation Master.

Ding Chengshuo bowed to Lin Yuan in gratitude before he said, "Young Master, I shall be inconveniencing you in the tree castle for the next few days."

Back in the tree castle, Lin Yuan saw that it was packed full of people, most of whom were from the Yi family.
