Chapter 1396: Accidentally Discovered a Way to Become Rich

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

From the way Luo De treated the Item-Storing Walnuts like precious items, it was clear that they were his treasures.

Lin Yuan had assumed that the Item-Storing Walnuts were storage tools used by the Divine Wood Federation’s spirit qi professionals. But now, the Item-Storing Walnuts seemed more valuable than his initial expectation.

If they were just storage tools, their abilities would become stronger in a directly proportional relationship to their grades.

From Luo Ya’s introduction of the Item-Storing Walnuts, Lin Yuan realized that the Item-Storing Walnuts had an advantage that the fey storage boxes lacked. This advantage was that once the Item-Storing Walnut reached Legend quality, they would produce more chambers that could store living feys. The fey storage boxes produced by Ostrich Logistics did not have this ability to divide up space.

This ability also meant that one would have to own a Legend Item-Storing Walnut in order to buy and sell feys in the Divine Wood Federation. This was a high hurdle that only large factions would be able to cross.

The higher the fey grade, the easier it would be for them to reach Legend quality.

A Class 3 Creation Master would need a long time to nurture the Item-Storing Walnut Tree to Diamond/Legend.

Moreover, the Item-Storing Walnut could be used multiple times. Each time it was used, the stored energy within the Item-Storing Walnut would be used up. Hence, the Item-Storing Walnut would still eventually run out of usages even if it had reached Diamond/Legend.

Lin Yuan was not interested in the Item-Storing Walnuts that Luo De was currently offering him.

Luo De’s Item-Storing Walnuts looked this way because they had interacted with his skin for a long time and absorbed the oils, which eventually changed their exterior.

Lin Yuan did not want to touch an item that had been soaked in seven years’ worth of a middle-aged man’s sweat, no matter how pleasing the Item Storing Walnuts appeared.

A Class 2 Creation Master could not nurture the Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnut. Only low-grade Class 4 Creation Masters and above could nurture the Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnut.

There were no low-grade Class 4 Creation Masters in Phoebe Zhennan City. This meant that Luo De had to have spent a large amount of money to obtain the Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.

As Lin Yuan thought about how people in his past life who liked walnuts acted, he could tell that the higher the grade of the Item-Storing Walnut, the more expensive it would be.

It could be that high-quality Item-Storing Walnuts were considered luxury items in the Divine Wood Federation.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan planned on asking Luo De. If he were right, it would mean that he had accidentally discovered a way to become rich.

“I have treasures of my own. Since you’ve had these Item-Storing Walnuts for seven years, it shows how much they mean to you. I never take things that are important to others. I wonder how much Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts are worth?”

Luo De looked surprised.

It was common practice in the Divine Wood Federation to keep the Item-Storing Walnuts as toys. Any head or direct descendant of a family with power would keep some around for entertainment.

As Luo De looked back on the cost of these Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts, his heart ached. He had paid almost half of the Luo family’s resources to buy the Item-Storing Walnuts from an auction.

He even had had to beat out the head of the Meng family for them. As a result, a grudge was formed between the Luo family and the Meng family. All their squabbles and fights over the past seven years had been a result of these Item-Storing Walnuts.

However, these Item-Storing Walnuts had also helped Luo De to puff up his pride at numerous gatherings.

If Lin Yuan was truly from one of the Great Lush Federation’s secret elite families, he had to be aware of how much the Item-Storing Walnuts were worth.

Although the Item-Storing Walnuts were fashionable in the Divine Wood Federation, most of the Creation Masters who nurtured them came from the Great Lush Federation.

The Creation Masters from the Divine Wood Federation came from different families and spent all their time and resources on increasing their own family’s power. As such, they did not have many resources left over for something like the Item-Storing Walnut.

If they could not spend as many resources strengthening their family because they spent it on nurturing the Item-Storing Walnut and their family was attacked, they would have doomed themselves over a toy.

Luo De was now slightly suspicious of Lin Yuan. But when he fixed his eyes on Lin Yuan’s belt, all his suspicions vanished.

Look at this opulent belt. If this young man was not a member of one of the Great Lush Federation’s secret elite families, who else could he be?

“Normally, low-grade Item-Storing Walnuts can be traded for using goods. In terms of Great Lush dollars, this pair of Item-Storing Walnuts should cost about 8,000,000 Great Lush dollars.”

Lin Yuan almost choked when he heard the price. The Item-Storing Walnut sure was expensive!

Great Lush dollars and Radiance dollars basically had the same currency strength.

In the Radiance Federation, 8,000,000 Radiance dollars would be able to buy a Silver/Epic fey.

Lin Yuan had paid special attention to the price of items in the Divine Wood Federation while he was making his way from Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard to the Luo family’s residence.

When it came to other items, the same goods cost the same in the Divine Wood Federation and the Radiance Federation.

The Item-Storing Walnut’s cost was due to how fashionable it was in the Divine Wood Federation and the scarcity of Creation Master resources in the Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan thought, Will I be able to use a low-grade high-quality Item-Storing Walnut to buy up all the resources in the Divine Wood Federation? It would be easy for me to produce the Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnut much less a Bronze/Epic one.

However, he would not produce the Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts in the Divine Wood Federation because it would be like announcing to the entire Startling Lines Continent that Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts existed.

A Class 5 Creation Master could only nurture Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

The appearance of a Class 5 Creation Master would exert unprecedented pressure on the imperial courts of the three major federations, and they could even band together to attack that Class 5 Creation Master.

This was completely unnecessary in Lin Yuan’s eyes.

However, he would not have to worry too much if he only produced the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut.

“I heard that a set of Silver/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts appeared in Oak City that was auctioned off for 31,000,000 Great Lush dollars. They were bought by the Fan family, the second-most important family in Oak City.”
