As Fors reread the "Magician" potion formula, Luo Lin put away the banknotes. He knew that after this transaction, his value in the eyes of Fors and Xiu had likely increased.

This would undoubtedly be beneficial for future communication and cooperation between them.

Just then, a waiter approached and delivered a small note. It was the result of Luo Lin's previous request to purchase spiritual materials. The seller agreed to trade, but the price needed to be discussed in person.

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, looked at the note, and then glanced in the direction where Mr. A had been. Seeing that Mr. A was nowhere to be found, he smiled and nodded, then followed the waiter to a small room.

The waiter opened the door, bowed, and gestured for him to enter. Luo Lin stepped forward, and as expected, saw Mr. A, cloaked and hooded, inside the room.

Having anticipated this, Luo Lin casually walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Mr. A. Mr. A silently rose and then knelt before him on one knee, like a shadow, yet filled with fervent loyalty.

"Does your Aurora Order always do this?" Luo Lin observed Mr. A, who was kneeling before him, with great interest. Compared to Hainas Vanasens, who was clearly cannon fodder, Mr. A possessed much higher utility and was a more devout believer of the True Creator, belonging to the group that frequently received divine revelations from the True Creator and was closer to Him.

"Respect is due to those favored by the divine," Mr. A replied earnestly to Luo Lin's question, still with his head bowed.

"Makes sense," Luo Lin nodded as if in agreement with Mr. A's answer, then said, "So, can you tell me what divine revelation the divine bestowed?"

Luo Lin was indeed curious about how the True Creator would introduce him to His fervent followers.

He wasn't worried about Mr. A detecting any flaws. For a devout believer, as long as the divine didn't speak, they were unlikely to act against someone favored by the divine.

Mr. A indeed showed no suspicion. With a fervent expression, he began to recount the True Creator's divine revelation.

Whether it was his wording or the True Creator's own phrasing that was problematic, the entire revelation sounded very chaotic. Luo Lin even spent some time to understand the True Creator's meaning. In summary, it was roughly: "The person before you is my favored one. Go ask him what he desires, fulfill his needs, and invite him to join the Aurora Order. If not, then so be it."

The True Creator boss is so generous!

Luo Lin grumbled inwardly. He looked at Mr. A, whose expression was fervent but whose mind seemed a bit dull. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget joining the Aurora Order. I quite like my brain and don't want to lose it anytime soon."

Mr. A looked regretful upon hearing Luo Lin's words, but he didn't show any surprise that someone favored by the divine was not a member of the Aurora Order. There were other organizations that believed in the True Creator besides the Aurora Order, so this was perfectly reasonable.

"As for my needs..." Luo Lin paused here and smiled, "Help me gather some information about the Beyonders hiding in Backlund. In return..."

"I will make the Old Ones reappear in this era in the near future. Convey this sentence truthfully to the divine, and He will understand my meaning."

Although Mr. A instinctively felt that Luo Lin's way of speaking was not typical of someone favored by the divine, as a devout believer, he would not overstep his bounds to question someone favored by the divine. Thus, he simply bowed his head and said, "Yes, favored one."

Suddenly, Luo Lin thought of something else and looked at Mr. A with interest. "Little A, are you interested in joining the Troublemaker's Club that I'm creating?"

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea for Luo Lin; it was a long-held plan. As everyone knew, one could only get so far working alone. Both the current state of the world of "Lord of the Mysteries" and Luo Lin's abilities meant he couldn't be a lone wolf. Therefore, creating his own organization was essential.

And "Troublemaker's Club" was indeed the name of the organization Luo Lin was creating. Although the organization currently only had him, Luo Lin believed that sooner or later, the Troublemaker's Club would become famous throughout the world of "Lord of the Mysteries."

Mr. A was taken aback by this. He clearly hadn't encountered a situation where someone invited to join the Aurora Order was being poached.

If anyone else had made this invitation, Mr. A would have immediately refused or even turned hostile. But the one making the invitation was Luo Lin, who bore the label of being favored by the divine. His fervent faith caused Mr. A to hesitate for a moment.

Just then, Mr. A tilted his ear as if listening to something. The next second, he looked at Luo Lin and said without further hesitation, "It would be my honor, favored one."

Clearly, the True Creator was observing the situation and had promptly issued a divine revelation.

Luo Lin wasn't surprised by this. He knew that Mr. A was likely sent by the True Creator as an undercover agent to gather intelligence. However, Luo Lin didn't mind. He simply smiled and said, "Then welcome to the club, Little A. I will inform you of other club matters later."

"Oh, right. I have some copies of 'Rosell's Diary' I'd like to sell. I don't suppose you'd mind helping me with this small favor?" Luo Lin asked with a smile.

When Luo Lin emerged from the small room, carrying the suitcase filled with spiritual materials, and returned to his seat in the corner, the gathering was nearing its end.

"You took quite a while. We were almost worried something happened to you," Xiu said, relieved to see Luo Lin appear, and couldn't help but mutter.

"Because the spiritual materials for the transaction were quite a lot, I spent some time haggling. You know, money is never enough, so every bit needs to be handled with extra caution," Luo Lin said with a smile. As the saying goes, if you're going to put on a show, do it thoroughly. After discussing important matters with Mr. A, he had naturally also purchased a batch of spiritual materials – for free.

Luo Lin felt no guilt about this, as he did indeed plan to summon the Ancient Sun God when he met Medici later, to improve the favorability of the Hot Pot Spirit while completing his transaction with the True Creator.

Compared to "making the Old Ones reappear in this era," what Luo Lin requested were mere trifles.

As for why Luo Lin was so confident that the True Creator would be satisfied with this transaction – did that even need asking?

Whether it was to explore Luo Lin's abilities, to simply meet his past self, to try and connect with his past self, or to attempt to change a predetermined tragedy, Luo Lin believed the True Creator would not refuse this transaction, especially since Luo Lin was throwing in a Hot Pot Spirit as a bonus.

I'm truly a conscientious merchant... Luo Lin mused inwardly, completely ignoring the fact that his actions were motivated by the outcome of not being able to resist a good show.
