2228 Liu Jie’s Brocade Box!
Hu Quan started the engine of his brain and started to think.
In order to become a high-class Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan’s memory had to be very good.
However, he had not spent too much time thinking about Liu Tong.
Now that he was focusing his mind on Liu Tong, many scraps of memory related to Liu Tong surfaced in Hu Quan’s mind.
His mind was led to a man who was not considered tall and was almost 35 years old, on the cusp of middle age.
!!
Liu Tong was not the kind to stand out in a crowd. Even if he did something worth remembering, he could still be easily forgotten.
It could be said that his external qualities left a lot to be desired.
But Liu Tong had indeed managed to distinguish himself to Hu Quan, to the point that he had been willing to observe and use him more than he did the others before he left for the marsh world.
Hu Quan rarely acknowledged another Spirit Craftsman.
The reason for acknowledging Liu Tong was not that Liu Tong had tried his best to gain Hu Quan’s favor but because he indeed possessed impressive Spirit Craftsman capabilities.
Although Liu Tong’s talent did not put him in the top 10 amongst the members of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, there was no question that he was part of the top 50.
But the real reason for Hu Quan’s approval of Liu Tong was how hard he improved his Spirit Craftsmen skills.
It was inevitable that some would take their foot off the gas pedal slightly after receiving a task. This was because collaborative work did not show the differing amounts of contributions by those involved.
Furthermore, Hu Quan had never kept a close eye on this, leading the Spirit Craftsmen to believe that he did not care.
But the truth was not that Hu Quan did not care.
He felt that having sufficient spiritual ingredients was a blessing when it came to Spirit Craftsman tasks. After all, Spirit Craftsmen rarely had the opportunity to possess sufficient spiritual ingredients to sharpen their own skills.
With such benefits in front of them, those who did not seize the opportunity were morons.
Reality had proved that there were many morons.
Hu Quan did not notice that the Spirit Craftsmen were hardworking, but he could not ignore consistent work.
Since Lin Yuan had also praised Liu Tong, Hu Quan decided to provide Liu Tong with special guidance and officially begin nurturing him as a legitimate disciple.
Hu Quan barked out a few laughs.
“My present designs are much better than they were a few months ago. I don’t think I’ll improve again anytime soon. Lin Yuan, don’t worry. I will definitely draw up a proper base design for your territory in the marsh world!”
“Lin Yuan, I remember you saying that the ground in the marsh world is very soft and loose. Even if you try to suck out the moisture in the marsh world, the situation doesn’t improve by much. It will be difficult to build anything overly large on the base unless you mix in a large amount of sand and metal fragments into the ground.
“Rather than creating a territory on such ground, why don’t you nurture a few Island Whales and build your territory on them? This way, you’ll have the freedom to move your territory instead of it being fixed in one spot.”
Lin Yuan shook his head gently at what Hu Quan said.
He had already thought about this matter earlier on.
Although the moisture level in the marsh world was more than 60%, it was still different from the sea environment of the main world.
The water in the marsh world appeared clear, but once there was any movement of life in the water, the silt would be disrupted, and the water would turn black.
The Island Whales could breathe through their skin and blowhole.
While the Island Whales were swimming, the mud would seep into their blowholes and skin.
This might be fine for a short while, but the Island Whales’ health would definitely be affected in the long run.
But it could not be denied that Lin Yuan was very interested in mobile territory.
But finding a dimensional lifeform that could replace the Island Whales and carry the territory would be far from easy.
Klein Hub’s entrance had a size limitation.
The entrance’s size had not increased even after Morbius raised its grade.
Lin Yuan could move the Floating Island Whale to the marsh world through Klein Hub before it evolved to Myth Breed and truly grew into its real size, but once it reached more than 40,000 meters, it would be impossible to do so.
The Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards had been able to pass through the entrance because they could change into human form.
But since Universe was meant to carry Sky City, it could not change into human form. Once it did, nothing would hold up Sky City, and it would plummet from the sky.
Unless he managed to find a Class 6 dimensional rift that linked the main world to the marsh world, Universe would end up stuck in the marsh world forever.
If he had to choose between the main world and the marsh world, Lin Yuan was leaning toward having Universe stay in the main world.
But he did feel regret over not being able to create a mobile territory in the marsh world.
Lin Yuan chatted with Hu Quan for a while, and after intense pleading from Hu Quan, Lin Yuan agreed to send him to the marsh world in advance.
Hu Quan wanted to go and take a look at the marsh world’s environment in advance so he could come up with a list of resources that were lacking and send people to gather them.
The marsh world’s materials had been prepared long ago. For this reason, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s store of resources had shrunk by 2/3.
Hu Quan didn’t really need the list and did not feel that anything was missing. He was just finding an excuse for Lin Yuan to allow him to enter the marsh world as soon as possible.
Lin Yuan was worried that Hu Quan would over-exhaust himself and have insufficient rest, but he could not force Hu Quan after such insistent pleading.
Hu Quan had contracted the Vitality Sloth. With its effects, Hu Quan could work day and night without sleep and still have more energy than someone who had not contracted the Vitality Sloth. There would not be any health issues in the near future.
But if Hu Quan wanted to push himself this hard for the long term, Lin Yuan would force him to rest.
After sending Hu Quan to the marsh world, Lin Yuan returned to the underground palace and prepared to take a shower.
He had traveled along the dusty roads to the Freezing Hammer Tribe.
Although Lin Yuan had cleansed his body of impurities—his body was now unsullied—he was still uncomfortable after a prolonged period of not bathing.
At that moment, Lin Yuan saw Liu Jie walking into his room with a serious expression and holding a small brocade box.
Instantly, Lin Yuan was able to guess what was inside that brocade box that Liu Jie was holding!
