Chapter 768: No Exchange Only Borrow

As much as Lin Yuan wanted the Fairy’s Heart, he did not immediately agree.
He looked up at Li Xuan and said seriously, “I see no problem with using the Fairy’s Heart to exchange for the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl. Since you’re offering two Fairy’s Hearts, I can also give you two Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.”
Before joy could bloom on Li Xuan’s face, his expression shifted when he heard what Lin Yuan said next.
“However, I cannot trade two Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls. Instead, you can borrow them. Dark Clouds Bird Shrine can use them as you please.”
Li Xuan furrowed his brow, and Long Tao did too.
It seemed that they did not understand what Lin Yuan meant by ‘borrow’. They also seemed to rarely encounter such an exchange.
Borrowing meant that it would have to be returned, and once it was returned, they would no longer have access to it.
Long Tao was fine with this. If he could borrow a few Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls from Lin Yuan, Coiling Dragon’s Valley’s Creation Master resources would be increased significantly.
Besides its value, Coiling Dragon’s Valley’s Creation Master resources would also have much greater influence.
It was worth it even if he could only borrow the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.
However, Li Xuan could not accept only being able to borrow them.
The Fairy’s Heart was an extremely precious source-type lifeform. It would only be worth it if he could borrow the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls for at least a year.
Any less time than a year would be a loss to Li Xuan.
He would definitely gain his seniors’ approval when he brought the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls back.
But once his seniors became used to using the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, the loss of this treasure when Lin Yuan retrieved it would upset his seniors.
Hence, Li Xuan could not accept only borrowing the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.
Li Xuan glanced at Long Tao and noticed that he was silently frowning.
He turned his head back and was about to give his reply to Lin Yuan when the latter chuckled and said, “Borrowing is just a method of transaction. Please don’t dwell on it. As long as you don’t sell or rent the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls out to other factions, you can borrow them for up to a century. However, if you do rent them to other factions, you will have to return them immediately.”
Lin Yuan spoke with determination, but it made both Li Xuan and Long Tao relax their brows.
The borrowing period of a century was as good as permanent trades. Lin Yuan only stipulated a time because he did not want the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls to land in the hands of others.
Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine could understand this thought. It was just like how when the two factions were trading rare resources. They would sometimes request that the other party not allow the resources to leave their possession.
Li Xuan immediately nodded and said, “No problem. Dark Clouds Bird Shrine will never give away the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.”
He grinned and asked, “Li Xuan, may I know how many Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls you have? I would like to borrow as many as possible!”

Now that Li Xuan had secured three Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls but still wanted more, Long Tao could not stay silent anymore.
“I also want to borrow a few Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls. However, I don’t have any Fairy’s Hearts. Can I use other source-type lifeforms in the exchange?” murmured Long Tao.
Long Tao took out five or six different types of source-type lifeforms. A quick scan and Lin Yuan realized that none of these source-type lifeforms were less valuable than the Fairy’s Heart.
Although they were equally as valuable, Lin Yuan did not have as much use for them as he did the Fairy’s Heart.
Rather than accumulating source-type lifeforms, there were other resources that Lin Yuan needed more urgently.
Lin Yuan did not immediately reply to Long Tao. He said to Long Tao and Li Xuan, “Since you both want Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, we won’t be able to properly discuss the deals at the crowded House of Enviable Fragrance. Why don’t we push dinner back a bit and head up to the clouds for a bit first?”
Li Xuan immediately picked up on what Lin Yuan meant and said softly, “Afterglow Mist Cinnabar Phoenixes, go up into the clouds and use Shade Flowing Afterglow.”
After Li Xuan issued the order, six phoenix cries sounded out in response.
Lin Yuan looked out and saw that the Six Phoenix Afterglow Luan Carriage was rapidly soaring up to the sky.
However, the inside of the carriage did not experience the feeling of rapid ascent.
When Lin Yuan had used True Data to check on the Afterglow Mist Cinnabar Phoenixes, the ability Shade Flowing Afterglow left an impression on him.
Shade Flowing Afterglow could effectively blow the flow of spirit and energy and prevent external spying.
This greatly raised the Six Phoenix Afterglow Luan Carriage’s obscurity.
Once Shade Flowing Afterglow encased the Six Phoenix Afterglow Luan Carriage, Lin Yuan said, “Forget about source-type lifeforms. I’ll be happy to exchange for any Law Source Crystals if you have any.”
Lin Yuan’s words silenced the interior of the Six Phoenix Afterglow Luan Carriage for a full minute. Long Tao gulped and asked, “How many Law Source Crystals are worth one Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls?”
Lin Yuan reached out three fingers.
“Add a zero at the back of this number, and it’ll be worth one Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl.”
The price of 30 Law Source Crystals for one Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl was hefty as compared to the previous price of one Bronze/Epic fey.
However, Law Source Crystals were not useful and only had decorative functions.
When compared to the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl, which could replace Creation Master resources, Law Source Crystals were as good as garbage.
Moreover, a top faction should have accumulated a mountain of Law Source Crystals after 100 years. This was why Lin Yuan could ask for 30 law source crystals.
Lin Yuan assumed that his price was already very high, but he did not expect both Long Tao and Li Xuan to reply immediately, “I want 17!”
“I want 9!”
Long Tao and Li Xuan had a simple mindset.
Li Xuan now had three Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, enough for his family’s three pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters.
With another nine, the other Class 4 Creation Masters would also be able to use the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.
