Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2096

2096 Face the War!

The Usnea could not fill a stomach well. A person had to eat one and a half of it at least in order to feel full.

Although the Usnea’s poison would not strongly affect B-rank spirit qi professionals, it was lethal to spirit qi professionals who were below B-rank.

If C- or D-rank spirit qi professionals consumed large amounts of the Usnea, their bodies would also numb until their hearts stopped.

Most of the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members were weak and below B-rank.

Even B-rank spirit qi professionals could lose their lives if they ate too much of the Usnea in a weakened state of hunger.

While Luo Lan was filled with doubt and sadness, Lin Yuan said, “I remember you saying that Luo Cai is hunting you because you’re the First Princess of the Iron Hammer Federation and because you are in possession of the crown. When you change into these clothes, don’t forget to place the Iron Hammer Federation’s royal crown on your head.

“The green vines in the Diamond Item-Storing Walnuts are not Usnea. You can pluck and eat one of the leaves. Once you eat one of the leaves, you’ll know if they can save the tribe members of the Iron Hammer Federation!”

Luo Lan pushed her concern aside, plucked one of the leaves from the green vines, and put it in her mouth.

The leaf tasted fresh and juicy.

Ever since Luo Lan learned of the situation, she had been worried. She had not eaten a proper meal in two days and had lost her appetite.

But she was a human made of flesh and bones. It was to be expected that she lacked energy after a prolonged period of lack of food.

After she ate the leaf, not only was she not numb in the slightest, but she felt full as well. Furthermore, she felt as though she had endless energy.

A singular leaf was already this effective.

The almost 100 Diamond Item-Storing Walnuts were enough to fill the stomachs of all the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members.

When Lin Yuan sent Luo Lan off to make preparations, Su Yiren said to Lin Yuan, “The city that Ta Lei built has many Land Imps, but the scale of the city is so large that construction is not even half-done yet. Hence, I asked him to close the city gates.

“Luckily, the sea of flowers has surrounded Ta Lei’s city, and there are mountains on the other side of the moat. Otherwise, the starving tribe members from the Iron Hammer Federation will definitely attack Ta Lei’s city.”

Lin Yuan nodded. He had expected such a situation.

When people were in a state of hunger, there was nothing they would not do.

“Yiren, you don’t have to worry about the battle anymore. Go and contact Li Wan to tell her to recruit more people in Oak City to support more merchant groups.”

Su Yiren knew that Lin Yuan was planning for the future.

Once all the dust had settledthe moment Lin Yuan took control of the entire Startling Lines Continenthe would indeed need a faction he controlled to manage the trades.

Almost all merchant groups doing business in the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation were from the Great Lush Federation.

Although a few of them were controlled by the Great Lush Federation’s secret aristocratic families, most of them were just trying to make a living.

The Truth Association wanted the Startling Lines Continent to be ravaged by war, and the biggest victims were these small merchant groups who were just trying to survive.

The Great Lush Federation’s secret aristocratic families controlled almost all of the chambers of commerce in the Divine Wood Federation.

Thus, these smaller merchant groups were in an awkward position in the Divine Wood Federation.

On the one hand, they were discriminated against by the locals in the Divine Wood Federation. After all, the Great Lush Federation’s merchant groups had killed too many of the bandits from the Divine Wood Federation.

On the other hand, the smaller merchant groups saw money as a resource. Once they lost the transfer hubs in the form of the chambers of commerce, the small merchant groups no longer had the money to travel and trade.

If Li Wan started to recruit at such a time, she would receive decent resources. It was likely that all members of the Divine Wood Federation’s chamber groups would end up recruited by Li Wan.

With such a large number of merchant groups working together, the scale of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce would increase rapidly.

Su Yiren did not think that Li Wan and Zhao Jiazhi would be able to accomplish Lin Yuan’s plan if they were still the ones managing the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. After all, their talents were just that.

But now, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce was under Listen’s management.

Su Yiren had interacted with Listen a few times.

In terms of the management of chambers of commerce, no one was more capable than Listen.

Su Yiren felt that even she could not do a better job than Listen when it came to managing chambers of commerce.

Su Yiren was curious to know how Lin Yuan managed to garner so many talented people in his orbit.

At first, Su Yiren had been worried about the battle as they were going to take on one of the Eight Pages of Tower Canon.

But now, Lin Yuan was even done making plans for the aftermath of the battle. This meant that he had absolute confidence in emerging victorious!

Since that was the case, Su Yiren felt that she did not need to worry.

After Su Yiren left, Lin Yuan let Purple Love, Liu Jie, and Wen Yu out of the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad.

Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony with Purple Love and said, “Auntie Purple, if any experts break through the sea of flowers, I hope you can help to kill them.”

Purple Love already saw Lin Yuan as a savior and thus would not reject his request.

Purple Love did not bring up Fifth Page Truth again.

Since she had come to the Startling Lines Continent, she would eventually have to take on Fifth Page Truth with Lin Yuan.

Rather than seeking him out, waiting for him to come to them would be better.

Otherwise, if he fled, it would be extremely difficult to find him again!

Purple Love had been seriously injured when she killed First Page Fate.

But after years of recuperation, her power had also reached a new level.

Hence, she was confident in being able to take down Fifth Page Truth.

As a Heavenly Family Fey, Purple Love’s arrogance around experts of the same level was legitimate.

When Lin Yuan made his request to Purple Love, he noticed that the imperial guards seemed to have received an order as they started leading the tribe members in a charge toward the sea of flowers.

Lin Yuan sighed.

For the first time in his two lives, he was going to face a war.
