Chapter 2976: Spare My Life!

Those spiritual ingredients that could increase lifespan were extremely expensive. However, they came with many different effects.
If the Creators had consumed some kind of spiritual ingredient that could increase their lifespans, the new spiritual ingredients provided by Lin Yuan would most likely be ineffective.
However, Li Feng did not specifically mention this to Lin Yuan. For those Creators, as long as a channel to increase lifespan was provided, regardless of whether it was effective in the end, they would accept the offer.
“Your Grace Lin Yuan, there’s an old friend of mine in Treasure City. He’s a high Grade 4 Creator, not far from pinnacle Grade 4. He only has less than 100 years left to live. I invited him here this time because one of my children needs to wash away the impurities in his body. I’ve put in a lot of effort to make him make this trip. Do you think I should help you arrange it now? Speaking of which, it’s a coincidence that he’s leaving the day after tomorrow.”
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. If what Li Feng said was true, then it was really a coincidence.
In Lin Yuan’s previous life, anyone who could live for 100 years was extremely lucky. However, in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, 100 years passed in the blink of an eye.
It was common for powerful lifeforms to go into seclusion for 1,000 years. For example, Qin Yu had gone into seclusion for nearly 4,000 years to become a Bloodian Queen.
Lin Yuan had arrived at Treasure City earlier than the agreed time with Ling Muzhuo, so there was no need to rush to Fortune Treasure Palace. Coincidentally, he had the time to meet the high Grade 4 Creator that Li Feng had mentioned.
“City Lord Li, since that’s the case, I’ll leave the arrangements to you. I need a quiet room with an absolutely secretive environment to communicate with the
Creator you recommended to me.”
Li Feng hurriedly said, “Young Master Lin, don’t worry. I left the room you booked last time for you to use alone in the future. It happened to come in handy today. Why don’t you meet this old friend of mine there? With the presence of this elderly man by your side, any environment can be deemed an absolute quiet room for you!”
Li Feng’s words were a show of goodwill to Winter. Now, the relationship between Li Feng and Lin Yuan had grown closer, and they had established a cooperative relationship.
Winter nodded at Li Feng. If not for the change in the relationship between Li Feng and Lin Yuan, Winter would not have paid attention to him.
Li Feng excitedly made the arrangements. Once this matter was accomplished, he would be doing Lin Yuan a favor. Not only would his relationship with Lin Yuan advance further, but the Creator he referred to as an old friend would also appreciate him in the same way. In the future, when he asked for Creator resources, it would not be as troublesome as now.
Lin Yuan returned to the room he had stayed in the City Lord Manor and realized that the room had been renovated. The renovation took a lot of ingenuity and must have taken at least a few days to complete. It was enough to show Li Feng’s attitude toward befriending him.
Winter said, “Young Master, Li Feng is a very far-sighted individual. His management of Treasure City reflects great ambition. There must be someone from Honor Absent Palace who wants to train Li Feng. Otherwise, Li Feng wouldn’t have been assigned to a resource-type city like Treasure City. If there’s a suitable opportunity in the future, you can help Li Feng. If he can become one of us, he will definitely be of help in the future!”
Lin Yuan, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter had always had a consensus that only those truly under his control could be considered his own people.
Lin Yuan smiled. “Now that we’ve started working with Li Feng, we’ll become more familiar with him. We can understand Li Feng and know what kind of person he is before deciding whether to invest resources in him.”
In Lin Yuan’s opinion, Li Feng was very opinionated, but being too opinionated may not necessarily be good, especially considering Li Feng’s future development in Honor Absent Palace. People who were too opinionated may run the risk of losing control over their actions.
This loss of control did not imply that Li Feng would disregard Lin Yuan’s orders. Instead, it meant that Li Feng was more used to making decisions on his own that were not in line with Lin Yuan’s needs. In an environment like Honor Absent Palace, once a decision was made, there was no possibility of going back on it.
Lin Yuan had been in this room for nearly two hours, but the Creator had yet to appear.
Lin Yuan understood that it was impossible for Li Feng not to inform him of the situation immediately. The Creator was obviously putting on airs.
At that moment, Lin Yuan understood why Winter had suggested he have double control over these Creators.
“Young Master, do you need me to rush him for you?”
Winter sensed Lin Yuan’s displeasure. Since the Creator did not come immediately, it was very likely that the Creator would only appear when Lin Yuan showed signs of wanting to leave.
There was nothing Winter could do about this situation, which was the most annoying thing about Creators. All the Creators that Winter had encountered with basically had such stubborn behavior.
Lin Yuan did not ask Winter to look for the Creator. Instead, he said coldly, “Winter, I didn’t have the chance to interact with these Creators before, so I don’t know much about the Creators in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Let’s continue to wait here. I’ll see how long it will take for him to come over!”
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, he knew this Creator would likely face consequences soon. It would be best if he had a reason that Lin Yuan could accept.
Lin Yuan waited in the room for nearly eight hours. During that time, he did not idle. He was circulating his Body of All Spirits to refine his Bloodian bloodline.
There was a reason why the Bloodians could hunt down other factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The feedback from a Bloodian bloodline on physical qualities and strength was too strong. After Qin Yu became a Bloodian Queen, Lin Yuan had taken a portion of her blood essence.
Right now, Lin Yuan’s bloodline was at the level of a Queen. If not for the fact that Lin Yuan’s strength was not up to the standard of a Bloodian Queen, he could have used his bloodline to pretend to be a real Queen.
Lin Yuan had heard from Qin Yu that the Bloodian Queen bloodline was not the highest level. Above the queen bloodline was the empress bloodline. It was said that there was an ancestral bloodline above the empress bloodline.
However, the most powerful individual among the Bloodians was only at the empress level. Lin Yuan was prepared to use his Body of All Spirits to improve his queen bloodline. However, strengthening a Bloodian Queen bloodline was an extremely long process.
However, Lin Yuan had plenty of time. The Body of All Spirits could improve his bloodline much faster than a Bloodian Queen could improve her bloodline through resources. Furthermore, if Lin Yuan were to absorb the blood essence of other Bloodian Queens during this process, it could also accelerate his progress.
Upon hearing the sound from outside the door, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, while Winter stood behind him, glaring coldly at the entrance.
The door was not knocked on. Instead, it was pushed open from the outside.
“Why do you want to see me? I heard that you have spiritual ingredients that can increase lifespan. Show me those spiritual ingredients. If I can use it, we can talk. If I can’t use it, you don’t have the right to talk to me!”
Li Feng, who was following behind the man, was livid. When he went to discuss this matter, he did not expect Huang An to be dissatisfied that Lin Yuan did not take the initiative to greet him.
In Huang An’s eyes, even if someone had spiritual ingredients that could increase lifespan, they must first come to see him if they wished to cooperate using those ingredients. If they didn’t come to visit him first, Huang An wouldn’t take them seriously.
In all the negotiations, Huang An had grown accustomed to ensuring that he always maintained a dominant position, regardless of the circumstances. This was his confidence as a high Grade 4 Creator.
Li Feng gave Lin Yuan an apologetic look, but the latter did not respond. Instead, he signaled Li Feng to leave.
Li Feng had helped Lin Yuan communicate this matter. Since Li Feng had done nothing wrong, Lin Yuan wouldn’t vent his anger on him.
Seeing Lin Yuan allowed him to leave, Li Feng felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Despite Li Feng explaining Lin Yuan’s background to Huang An, he did not take it seriously. He continued to use his status as a high Grade 4 Creator to be arrogant. Not only did he delay for nearly eight hours, but he also pushed open the door when he entered. This went beyond mere arrogance.
If Lin Yuan and Huang An got into a conflict there, he would definitely be in a dilemma.
Lin Yuan had the right to fall out with Huang An, a high Grade 4 Creator. With Huang An’s attitude, Li Feng felt that there was a high chance that they would quarrel.
After Li Feng left, Huang An snorted coldly. “You haven’t answered my question yet. Let me tell you that my time is extremely precious. It’s not something you can casually delay. I’m leaving Treasure City tomorrow. You have to be grateful to me for taking the time to meet you in my busy schedule.”
Winter couldn’t stand Huang An anymore. If Lin Yuan hadn’t said anything, he would have slapped Huang An’s face and shattered his teeth to make him unable to utter such annoying words.
Lin Yuan was so angry that he laughed. “Gratitude? It seems like you really like others to thank you. In that case, Winter, come and thank this Creator who made us wait for eight hours!”
Lin Yuan finally spoke out, bringing great relief to Winter.
Winter immediately released his aura, sealing off the entire room in an instant.
Winter’s pressure enveloped Huang An without holding back, causing Huang An to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Huang An felt as if Winter’s released aura was crushing his internal organs, rendering him unable to channel his spiritual power.
A high-grade Creator did not need to bring retainers with them when they went out because Creators were powerful.
Creators would definitely prioritize improving their strength before improving the strength of others.
Huang An had always been very confident in his strength. However, Winter’s strength made Huang An feel a huge disparity and instilled an exceptional sense of fear in his heart.
Previously, Huang An had never been treated like this when he treated others with such an attitude. This was the first time he had been treated in such a manner.
“I’m a high Grade 4 Creator. My identity as a Creator has been verified in the Creator Alliance. Do you know what you’re doing now? If word of this gets out, you will be held accountable by the Creator Alliance. Honor Absent Palace will not let you off either!”
Winter said emotionlessly, “We naturally know what we’re doing now, but what makes you think this matter will spread? As long as it doesn’t spread, why would we be held accountable by the Creator Alliance and targeted by Honor Absent Palace?”
Huang An shouted sharply, “It was Li Feng who brought me here to see you. If anything happens to me, Li Feng won’t just stand by and watch!”
Winter raised his hand and pointed at Huang An. Cold air condensed on Winter’s fingertips, “No, Li Feng is a smart person. He won’t want to get into this trouble for no reason. If anyone asks him, he’ll say you’ve already left Treasure City.
“Besides, I heard from Li Feng that you only have 100 years left to live. Instead of letting you travel around to obtain a way to increase your lifespan, it’s better to send you to sleep now!”
Huang An’s arrogance and confidence stemmed from his status as a high Grade 4 Creator. It came from the endless flattery and adulation from others. These were the main reasons Huang An had become like this. Before he grew up, Huang An was a timid person. When he had less than 20,000 years left to live, he had already begun searching everywhere for methods to extend his lifespan.
Huang An possessed a strong will to survive. If he were unwilling to let time erode him, he certainly wouldn’t consent to having his life taken away by others.
Huang An could sense indifference and disdain from Winter toward himself. He did not doubt that Winter might really end his life by attacking him.
At that moment, Huang An completely panicked and his attitude softened!
When Lin Yuan saw the change in Huang An’s expression, he thought that Huang An was just a coward. He did not deny Huang An’s Creator abilities, but apart from Creator-related abilities, there was nothing worthy of praise about him.
Lin Yuan did not participate in Winter’s targeting of Huang An during this period. Winter’s cold finger landed on Huang An, causing half of his body to freeze.
Huang An felt the call of death and hurriedly shouted, “Y-You can ask me to do anything. Forgive me, spare my life!”
The corners of Winter’s mouth curled up slightly when he heard Huang An shout this..
