Chapter 741 Small Movements

Lin Fan only stayed another day in the Alchemy King Hall after the contest.

After all, there was nothing else left for him to do there and he had already wasted enough time in the Alchemy King Hall.

There were other things that he had to do, but he had taken time out of his schedule to come here because of Song Shu.

Song Shu had wanted to go with Lin Fan, but knowing that this was a delicate time, the Alchemy Master didn't allow this.

In just a single day, he had already gathered more than enough information to get a general idea of the situation. He knew that the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association would certainly be watching Lin Fan's store and if he were to allow Song Shu to go with Lin Fan, wouldn't that be declaring that their Alchemy King Hall was on Lin Fan's side?

Before everything had been settled, he wasn't willing to let this happen, so he wouldn't let Song Shu go.

Song Shu threw a tantrum after hearing this, but Lin Fan was the one to calm her down.

He didn't want her to come with him either since he knew that this was a dangerous time for the entire Galactic Humanity Alliance. There was going to be a reshuffling with the top of the Galactic Humanity Alliance and he was going to be at the center of it.

He had wanted to stay low key, but it seemed like the twelve great factions wouldn't let him.

It wasn't hard for him to pick up the thoughts of the twelve great factions, but since these were the factions that already had grievances with him, he decided to let it go.

After all, this would also help him with his real goal…

But if Song Shu were to come with him at this time, it would mean that she would be caught up in attempts to attack him with her status. So it was better for her to stay at the Alchemy King Hall for now.

When Lin Fan returned to the store, there was nothing that happened at first, but then there was a piece of news that created a large stir.

The Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect had grouped together to announce that they had figured out a way to breed Child Soul Realm beasts and that they were now selling Child Soul Realm beasts.

While this wasn't much for the twelve great factions, it did mean a lot for the much smaller factions.

After all, most of them didn't even have Nascent Soul Realm Experts, so being able to buy Child Soul Realm beasts was a very large boost to their power.

With this increase in power, they would be able to earn more resources and would have a chance to become a Nascent Soul Realm Expert in time.

So this was a long term move on part of the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect.

After all, they were the ones providing the Child Soul Realm beasts to these smaller factions, so the smaller factions would have no choice but to get closer to them. Then over time, as the smaller factions became stronger, they would help the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect since there would be more and more Nascent Soul Realm Experts on their side.

While the true power of each of the twelve great factions were its True Soul Realm Experts, the Nascent Soul Realm Experts still had their uses. After all, it wasn't as if their True Soul Realm Experts could be everywhere and there were only so many True Soul Realm Experts.

This was why the twelve great factions had been so excited about Lin Fan selling them Nascent Soul Realm beasts.

But of course, this also took the wind out of their sails since they were planning on taking care of the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association.

Of course, that was all depending on how quickly they could raise the new pets that they received from Lin Fan.

But it would all be meaningless if the other side was able to raise Nascent Soul Realm Experts through these minor families.

So the twelve great factions had gathered and finally through old man Qiao from the Hunters Association asked Lin Fan something.

"Is it possible to sell Child Soul Realm beasts to factions other than the twelve great factions?"

Lin Fan was surprised when he heard this, but after hearing about what the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect were doing, he immediately understood what they were thinking.

They were trying to win over the small factions that the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect were appealing to. So they were going to use the same trick as the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect, they would win them over with Child Soul Realm beasts.

However, the Tamers Guild wasn't able to keep up with the supply of the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect alone, so they had no choice but to ask Lin Fan for help.

Lin Fan just said, "It's not a problem." Then he added, "Of course, that depends on how many Child Soul Realm beast eggs you can get me."

Old man Qiao gave a confident laugh when he heard this and he said, "That's not a problem at all. Even if we can't hatch eggs like them, there's no problem securing eggs. After all, we are from the twelve great factions just like them."

Lin Fan nodded and just left this matter there.

He didn't mind this at all since he still had to sell Child Soul Realm and Nascent Soul Realm beasts.

He had planned on slowly distributing them among the twelve great factions to balance out the power between them, but now there was a chance to distribute these Child Soul Realm beasts elsewhere and at a rate much faster than he had planned. Lin Fan naturally wouldn't miss out on this.

As for the Nascent Soul Realm beasts, he would just give the twelve great factions that he was close to another batch when the time came.

It seemed like it wouldn't be a problem at all for him to finish this quest.

The problem seemed to lie with the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect…

How were they suddenly able to breed Child Soul Realm beasts and at a level that even surpassed the Tamers Guild? They weren't an organization that specialized in taming and breeding beasts in the first place, so this was certainly a strange situation.

This shouldn't have happened unless…they were able to receive some kind of outside help.

Lin Fan started thinking about the things that had happened in the Ancient Era Ruins when he thought of this.

While the suspicious people had been a part of the Assassins Association group, they already knew about the relationship between the Assassins Association and the two sects. It was clear that this sudden ability to breed Child Soul Realm beasts should be related to these people that had suddenly shown up in the Assassins Association.

But the key thing was, where did these people come from?

Lin Fan could tell that these people certainly weren't weak, so they were most likely experts from another upper realm, or…they could even be people that were sent by a Stellar Kingdom.

Of course, no matter where they were from, they should have their own goal, so that was what Lin Fan had to worry about.

The key thing is if they would go against what Lin Fan wanted to do with the True Spirit Sect…

But that was after he learned what their plans were in the first place and that was too early. Without any of this information, Lin Fan's guesses were useless.

The only thing that he could do now was make the factions that he was close to stronger.

As well, he would have to build up his own forces to help him accomplish his goals. He couldn't just completely rely on others since there was always the chance that they would betray him, no matter how close they were now.

So that was why Lin Fan had been making his preparations recently.

After he took care of the selling Child Soul Realm beasts matter, Lin Fan changed the topic as he asked, "Are the people that I asked you to help me find here?"

Old man Qiao gave a nod and said, "They just ascended and they were brought to us. I put them up in a nice residence, so they're just waiting for you now."

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, "Then let's go now."

Old man Qiao was surprised to hear this since it was still currently during the day and Lin Fan's store was still open. Normally when he came at this time for something, Lin Fan would always ask him to wait until the store was closed, but this time…

Still, old man Qiao didn't say anything and just led the way to the residence that he had prepared.

When Lin Fan arrived, he couldn't help revealing a faint smile when he saw the people in the residence.

These were people that he hadn't seen in a long time, but he was nonetheless happy to see them.

When they saw him, they were naturally also happy to see him since it was the same for them.

These people were Jiang Zhi Shu and the other people who followed Lin Fan back on the Blue Star Planet.

He had used the Hunters Organization to bring them all up to the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
