Feng Shuang imdiately looked elated by the prize she was given and started to express her heartfelt sincerity to Lin Yuan.
Hu Tian and Elder He were green with envy when they saw the five heavenly-maiden-grade elental pearls, and they imdiately dove into work.
At this mont, Liu Jie suddenly said, “Young Master, I’ve drawn a basic map of the surroundings. There is a town 50 kiloters to the east, and many natives of the Divine Wood Federation live there. There isn’t much to the west and south other than thick forests. However, the environnt in the south is much more humid. This must an that there’s a large lake toward the south. The forests end about 90 kiloters to the north.
“The area at the edge of the forest is pretty much deserted, and it seems to be a border. One side of the border is full of trees, while the other side is almost terrifyingly barren. I saw a large cluster of tents about five kiloters from the border. The tents appear to be street stores, and they form a bazaar. The rchants at the bazaar all have black eyes and black hair. They all have rough appearances and are dressed in fur. These rchants must be selling goods from the Divine Wood Federation to consurs from the Iron Hamr Federation.”
Lin Yuan walked over to Liu Jie and sat down cross-legged. He listened to Liu Jie’s explanation as he studied the sketch.
Although Liu Jie’s sketch was far from professional, he had enough experience from training in the wild to be able to produce simple drawings.
He even noted down important locations in the surroundings.
Lin Yuan had assud that it would be long before he saw other humans.
However, there was not only a town 50 kiloters to the east, but there was even a bazaar 90 kiloters to the north.
Lin Yuan had wondered why he had not encountered strong feys in the forest.
When he had been ordering the Source Sand to change the ground, the strongest fey he encountered was a Silver lizard.
But now, he finally knew why the area was so safe.
The underground palace was situated on the shortest route between the town and the border.
The rchants from the Great Lush Federation would have to travel between the border and town and trade goods from the Iron Hamr Federation and Divine Wood Federation to respective consurs from the other federation.
Given the hostility between the Iron Hamr Federation and Divine Wood Federation, the rchants from the Iron Hamr Federation dared not travel to the town in Divine Wood Federation directly to do business.
If they wanted to import and export goods, they would have to go through the rchants from the Great Lush Federation.
The rchants from the Great Lush Federation must have traveled between the town and border countless tis.
Lin Yuan’s first priority now would be to obtain spatial spiritual ingredients.
According to Liu Jie’s surveillance, Lin Yuan now had two choices.
He could either go and explore the town in the Divine Wood Federation or go and see the rchants from the Great Lush Federation while the bazaar was still open.
Both he and Liu Jie had black hair and eyes. They would stick out like a sore thumb in the town.
Thus, it would be a better choice to explore the rchants from the Great Lush Federation.
Lin Yuan excitedly asked, “Big Brother Liu, is the bazaar that’s 90 kiloters away big?”
Liu Jie shook his head and replied, “I couldn’t use the Hurricane Owlet Moths to estimate the number of people in the tents accurately. However, there are only around 200 stores. It’s about the sa scale as the nutrition stations in the Class 2 dinsional rift under the Radiance Federation’s control.”
Lin Yuan was slightly disappointed to hear Liu Jie say this.
The Radiance Federation had Ostrich Logistics and Star Web, and most basic resources could be bought on Star Web.
Hence, it was difficult to sustain a physical store or stall in the Radiance Federation.
When Lin Yuan ran the spirit lifeform store, he only ever earned enough to cover their basic necessities. Moreover, they also had Uncle Li and Auntie Zhang to take of them.
However, this was not the case in the Divine Wood Federation.
Although delivery factions similar to Ostrich Logistics also existed on a smaller scale in the Divine Wood Federation, almost all the trade done in the entire Startling Lines Federation was made through rchants opening stalls and stores.
300 stalls were considered minuscule in such a trade-centered environnt.
Lin Yuan felt that it was unlikely he would be able to obtain spatial spiritual ingredients from the small bazaar.
Nonetheless, he did not lose hope. He was going to et with natives from the Startling Lines Continent soon, and he would be able to obtain all kinds of information from them.
Additionally, the rchants from the Great Lush Federation were like nomads who had been everywhere. It was possible that they knew crucial information that would be able to solve his need for spatial spiritual ingredients.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to suggest to Liu Jie that they head to the bazaar 90 kiloters away to gather information and resources, a look of shock crossed Liu Jie’s face.
“Oh? The Hurricane Owlet Moths have discovered five human figures eastward. They’re all wearing half-armor woven from vines, and it looks like they’re adventurers from the Divine Wood Federation.”
Lin Yuan found this news strange and wondered where the basis of Liu Jie’s conclusion ca from.
The adventurers that were 65 kiloters to the east were definitely capable of trading 40 kiloters to hunt for food and gather spiritual ingredients.
Liu Jie saw Lin Yuan’s confused expression and elaborated, “Big fish don’t co from small ponds. The vine armor worn by the town’s guards is of a much more inferior quality than the ones worn by the five adventurers. This doesn’t make sense.”
