What Does Trading Have to Do with Status?
"Here you go. I shall take the five Mountain-Containing Embryos and Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis spores, and you can have this Law Crystal."
Miao Zhenshan should be happy that the Miao family had gained a pure Law Crystal after losing two thearch-class experts.
However, Miao Zhenshan's expression was still scrunched up in displeasure.
Although the five Mountain-Containing Embryos were very precious, they could not match up to the Law Crystal's value.
However, the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis was much more precious.
Miao Zhenshan was willing to give up the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis spores because he wanted to obtain another Law Crystal from Lin Yuan.
Spiritual-type feys and soul-type feys were the most expensive types of fey.
The Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis was the best type of fey to evolve spiritual-type and soul-type feys.
Miao Zhenshan had paid a heavy price to preserve the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis spores when he used the child ramets.
His chest still hurt when he thought of the price he had paid.
Liu Yanshan's Ghost Arched Demon Beast had also used the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis to evolve to Myth Breed.
Besides its value, Miao Zhenshan also wanted to keep the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis for sentimental reasons.
Naturally, Lin Yuan knew of the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis spores' value.
Miao Zhenshan had said that there was a bag of spores. This meant that he would be able to nurture at least 100 Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis.
Lin Yuan had no problem obtaining the pure spirit qi that was required to nurture the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis.
All he needed to do was find a jade-textured piece of wood and drill small holes in it.
He would scatter the spores all over the small holes.
When spouts grew from the small holes, he could replant them into new jade-textured wood pieces where they could grow freely.
Lin Yuan and the Miao family's trade was complicated. It appeared as though he was helping them, but he was actually doing everything for selfish reasons.
When they traded for Law Crystals, it would be the right time for Lin Yuan to crush Connected Beast Park.
Lin Yuan's sword would be swift and merciless.
While Miao Zhenshan was hesitating, some pinnacle emperor-class experts could not help but pitch in.
"Leader, Elder Han and Elder Liu are gone. You and Ah Hong aren't enough to continue expanding the Miao family."
"Exactly! You have to stay in the manor while Auntie Hong guards the treasure vault. Without new thearch-class experts, the Miao family won't have the strength to cope with external thearch-class power."
"Father, we've been storing the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis for decades. It's so difficult to nurture that there's no point in keeping it."
"Leader, we'll be able to get instant results when we use the Law Crystal. The more thearch-class experts we have, the more powerful the Miao family will become!"
The person who addressed Miao Zhenshan as 'Father' stood out from the rest who had spoken up.
Lin Yuan turned toward the direction of the voice and pursed his lips.
The person did not have good posture, and his skin was saggy as well.
Lin Yuan could tell that this person was not an emperor-class expert.
He recalled the list of Miao family direct descendants and thought, This should be the only male from the Miao family's previous generation and the family's black sheep. He must be Miao Xing.
The Miao family was currently receiving a guest, and even Miao Zhenshan had to keep a smile plastered on his face at all times.
Every person should be addressing Miao Zhenshan as 'Leader' during such a situation.
Miao Zhuo and Miao He had addressed Miao Zhenshan as 'Grandfather' at the entrance of the treasure vault.
But while they were in the guest room, they also addressed Miao Zhenshan as 'Leader'.
Lin Yuan had clearly taken advantage of the Miao family, and he was uncertain if Miao Zhenshan would agree.
The other emperor-class experts had spoken up because the Law Crystals would directly benefit them.
Lin Yuan did not understand why Miao Xing had spoken as well because he had no stake in the deal.
But after Miao Xing spoke, Lin Yuan was sure that the deal was sealed.
Miao Xing was Miao Zhenshan's only son, and his father would have to support his opinion so as not to make a mockery of the Miao family.
Miao Zhenshan glared viciously at Miao Xing.
Miao Xing smiled playfully as though he was used to receiving such a response.
Miao Zhenshan started to cough.
Lin Yuan finally knew why Miao Qi was the pillar that supported the previous generation of the Miao family.
He also knew why Miao Zhenshan had named his grandsons as Young Leader despite his son being in the prime of his life.
Miao Zhenshan gnashed his teeth and said, "Lord Lin Yuan, I shall not say no since it's you."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and replied, "A deal is a deal. It has nothing to do with status. If you feel that the deal is unfair and don't want the Law Crystal, you don't have to force yourself. We can call the deal off, and I'll find the Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis and Mountain-Containing Embryos somewhere else."
Miao Zhenshan thought, I would have snatched all your Law Crystals away if not for your status.
Miao Zhenshan was afraid that Lin Yuan would up the price and hastily said to Miao He, "Ah He, tell Mammy Hong to fetch the Mountain-Containing Embryos and Intelligent Ganoderma Sinensis spores."
Miao He walked out of the guest room and smiled.
Since his grandfather had thought of him first, it meant that he was much more important to his grandfather than Miao Zhuo was.
Lin Yuan took out a second Law Crystal and said, "It must be fate that led to me being here at the Miao family today. Since the Miao family lost two thearch-class experts, I can recover that loss. As long as you have enough pinnacle emperor-class experts, you can produce as many thearch-experts as you want."
Lin Yuan took out another five Law Crystals.
Besides the Law Crystal that he had already given Miao Zhenshan, the other six Law Crystals sparkled blindingly in his hand.
