Chapter 1161: When Did Creation Masters Become So Pathetic?
While Lin Yuan was observing the small squirrel, Hu Quan finished surveying the surroundings.
Hu Quan said with surprised delight, “Young Master, all the trees around are ironwood. They’re even more useful than metal-type fragments when they’re crushed into powder. Ironwood is also viscous and can give rocks a malleable quality when mixed in. Since we’re in a forest, there should be an underground water source. This mixture of rock and ironwood will be the best waterproofing material for the outside of the underground palace. Moreover, ironwood won’t rust after time like metal-type spiritual ingredients will.”
Lin Yuan shook his sleeve, and the Souce Sand fell to the ground. It turned into sand particles and tunneled into the ground below Lin Yuan.
The Source Sand was no longer a Gold/Fantasy fey but a Diamond I/Fantasy II fey.
Thus, it would be easy for the Source Sand to change the environment underground.
The Source Sand’s basic ability was to create sand, and Close Guard Sand quickly roped up all the sand under Lin Yuan’s feet like a large dragon.
With the door to the Space Tunnel at its center, all the sand to a depth of ten meters was rapidly crushed.
The Source Sand also tore out all the roots of the ironwood trees.
The rapid movements of the sand quickly gathered all the ironwood trees in a two-kilometer radius.
Hu Quan was going to use the ironwood to build the underground palace.
While Lin Yuan was changing the environment of the ground around them, Liu Jie sent the 10 Hurricane Owlet Moths out as scouts.
He could see everything the Hurricane Owlet Moths saw through his spiritual energy link with the Insect Queen.
Liu Jie took a piece of paper and pencil out of his Diamond fey storage box and sketched a rough map of the surroundings.
Lin Yuan also instructed the Source Sand to change the environment underground.
However, he only changed the ground up to a depth of one meter while the other nine meters still remained as a mixture of mud and rock.
While everyone was busy with their own tasks, four hours passed by unknowingly.
Lin Yuan let out Blackie and instructed it to use Spirit Injection on him and Liu Jie every few minutes.
Blackie was also a Diamond/Fantasy fey.
As such, Lin Yuan’s store of spirit qi was maintained at half-full despite his large-scale exertion of using the Source Sand to change the landscape.
He was already done changing the appearance of the ground in a two-kilometer radius.
Lin Yuan was very detailed in his work because it would be linked to Silver Corona and the bone lotus flowers’ future.
It would be much more convenient to grow the bone lotus flowers in sand rather than mud.
They were derivatives of Silver Corona and fed on souls. As such, they did not need to draw nourishment from the ground at all.
After working for four hours straight, Lin Yuan was exhausted.
He said to Hu Quan, who was building metal racks with the other five Spirit Craftsmen, “Uncle Hu, you can go underground now to build the frame of the underground palace. You guys will have to push yourselves for now so as to get the frame up as soon as possible. Otherwise, any rain that falls will make the environment damper. Not only will you become dirtier while working, but it’ll also be more difficult.”
Lin Yuan looked behind him at Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian, who had been silent all this time, and said, “The three of you should go down to help too. Hu Tian, your fey should be rather useful in building the underground palace’s frame. Feng Shuang and Elder He, your feys might not be very useful, but they can still lend a hand.”
The three Creation Masters were stunned.
By now, they had picked up from the exchange of conversations that they were in the Divine Wood Federation.
Although they were Class 4 Creation Masters with considerable experience, they only knew of the Island Whales as a medium of transport between federations.
Yet, it was clear that Lin Yuan had not used the Island Whale to cross over to the Divine Wood Federation.
Hence, the three of them found Lin Yuan even more mysterious.
Moreover, Feng Shuang had recognized who Liu Jie was when they were inside the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad, while Hu Tian and Elder He had their realizations when Liu Jie summoned the Insect Queen.
The three of them all wondered if Liu Jie of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had also joined Sky City.
Despite their shock, they never stopped thinking of the best way to interact with Lin Yuan and to leave him with the best impressions.
Lin Yuan had not brought any Creation Masters but only six Spirit Craftsmen to a foreign land.
As such, the three of them all assumed that they were going to become key players.
However, not only did Lin Yuan not use them, but he even instructed them to assist the Spirit Craftsmen.
This made the three of them question for the first time if Creation Masters were truly as admired as they seemed.
Nonetheless, the three of them had no choice but to go against their own wishes and follow Lin Yuan’s order.
Hu Tian, who assumed that he was on the best terms with Lin Yuan, asked timidly, “Master, will we be staying here from now on?”
Lin Yuan shook his head and replied, “This is not where the three of you will be parked. Don’t let your imagination run wild, and just focus on the job I gave you. You’ll also have to do the same tasks when we arrive at your final destination. I have no lack of Creation Master resources here. Although the three of you are Class 4 Creation Masters, you’re of more help to me doing odd jobs now.”
Hu Tian, Feng Shuang, and Elder He were gobsmacked, and it finally dawned on them that Lin Yuan did not care that they were Class 4 Creation Masters at all.
Just how many Creation Master resources did Sky City have for Lin Yuan to be able to assign three of them hard labor that did not involve concocting spirit fluids?
Feng Shuang clenched her jaw and summoned the Giant Land Thearch Crocodile.
She instructed it to deliver the metal racks underground.
“Good job, Feng Shuang. As a reward, I shall send someone to ensure that your fey safely overcomes any evolution, be it World Cleansings or the Trial of World Creation,” said Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan tossed five earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to Feng Shuang as a prize.
