Chapter 968: Heavenly Maiden Sleet

Lin Yuan went into the Spirit Lock spatial zone and instructed Genius and the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to start searching with him.
As they continued to search, Lin Yuan discovered that there were numerous Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls.
However, none of them were fire-type. As such, they continued to search.
He had decided that he would wait if they could not find a fire-type Over the Rail Coral elemental pearl until the Elemental Shellfish finally produced one.
Since he was going to do something, he had to have the best. Otherwise, he would be dissatisfied, and it would waste Hu Quan’s effort of stringing together the 108 Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls.
It had only been half a day since the Spirit Lock spatial zone had evolved.
But due to the increase in the concentration of spirit qi, the Elemental Shellfish had produced elemental pearls much quicker.
When Genius sorted through the last pile, Lin Yuan’s eyes were drawn to a fiery-red glow.
At that moment, it was as though a long-haired girl dressed in clouds suddenly materialized.
This fire-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl emitted a blinding light and had an unspeakable illusiveness.
The ghostly silhouette of the long-haired girl dressed in clouds made the entire elemental pearl appear exquisite.
Lin Yuan had never seen a heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl with this outer layer before.
It had probably only appeared after the concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone increased.
By a stroke of coincidence, it was fire-type and was just what he needed to complete the string of pearls.
This fire-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl with a special outer layer could also serve the purpose of being the final touch—the cherry on top of the cake that was the string of pearls.
Lin Yuan took the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
When Hu Quan saw Lin Yuan circulate his spiritual energy with a serious expression, he knew that Lin Yuan had been searching for the fire-type Over the Rail Coral heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl.
He soon saw Lin Yuan produce a heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl with a vibrant red outer layer.
The moment he saw a heavenly maiden dressed in clouds within the outer layer, Hu Quan could not help but exclaim, “Damn! Is that the legendary Heavenly Maiden Sleet that’s a cut above Over the Rail Coral? It can’t be! I heard only 10% pure heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls can have Heavenly Maiden Sleet outer layer! Lin Yuan, tell me quickly, is there any rare spiritual material that you lack?”
Lin Yuan revealed a small smile.
Instead of answering that question, he changed the topic and said, “Now, we have 108. Uncle Hu, what do you think about using the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearl to complete the string of Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls?”
Hu Quan immediately slapped his leg and said with shining eyes, “A string of only Over the Rail Coral heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls is impressive enough. It would have been enough to touch the hearts of those that saw it. However, it wouldn’t have been able to compete with the Heavenly Maiden Sleet heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl added to it. The Over the Rail Coral outer layer can set the mood while the Heavenly Maiden Sleet will be the center of attention. It’s like adding the final touch to a painting to make it come to life.”
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “Sorry to trouble you.”
When Hu Quan heard what Lin Yuan said, a look of reluctance came over him.
“Lin Yuan, I can make the string of pearls for you now. I should be done before sunrise tomorrow. However, my methods won’t do justice to these 108 treasures. I plan on finishing the general design and construction of the basement before letting my subordinates over. Then, I’ll be able to lock myself away and use all my Spirit Craftsman skills to create the string of pearls. It could very well be the most precious item I make in my life.”
Lin Yuan furrowed his brow. He knew that Hu Quan was feeling the same way he had when he was making the red sandalwood longevity fishtank.
Lin Yuan was not opposed to Hu Quan wanting to focus on creating the string of pearls.
However, he felt that Hu Quan was wrong in one regard.
“Uncle Hu, we will never reach the peak of the valuable resources we have access to. I believe both the rare spiritual resources I gain access to and your Spirit Craftsman skills will only continue to rise.”
Hu Quan started to chuckle.
When he was a Class 4 Spirit Craftsman, he had assumed that Class 5 was the peak level that a Spirit Craftsman could reach.
But once he became a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan discovered the discrepancies between the various Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen.
For example, Hu Quan had only recently become a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman.
As much talent as he had, he could not compete with those who had been Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen for decades.
Once he became a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan gradually became complacent.
Since he had reached Class 5, those more powerful than him would not have too large of a gap between their abilities.
But after he heard what Lin Yuan said, Hu Quan realized how wrong he had been.
How could he lose his ambition as a Spirit Craftsman who depended on his craftsmanship to earn a living?
He took another look at the 107 Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls and the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearl, and various ideas popped into his head.
Hu Quan wanted to ask Master Hong Shen if he could nurture the Wood Weaving House Centipede so that it could gain new weaving techniques.
After Hu Quan composed himself, he said, “Lin Yuan, you aren’t asking me for a favor at all. I’m the one that’s benefiting! What’s the second favor you spoke of?”
Lin Yuan asked Hu Quan, “Uncle Hu, have you heard of the marsh world?”
Hu Quan froze before replying, “I’ve definitely heard of the marsh world. Does your second favor have something to do with the marsh world?”
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “Uncle Hu, my favor does have something to do with the marsh world.. I would like to borrow some of your capable Spirit Craftsmen.”
