“What! One bead is worth ten Tribulation Pills? That’s incredible!” Huo Zhen and the others exclaimed.
“Big Brother, if that’s the case, with over thirty thousand beads here, that’s equivalent to… over three hundred thousand Tribulation Pills? Heavens!” Yang Wan swallowed hard.
“Yang Wan, look at you, obsessed with wealth,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
“Hehe, Big Brother, if you share some of these beads with me, I might have a shot at reaching the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm! Of course I’m thrilled!” Yang Wan said excitedly.
“Yang Wan, Big Brother hasn’t even said he’s sharing these beads with us, and you’re already acting greedy,” Huo Zhen said, rolling his eyes.
“These beads are indeed for you. I’ve already reached the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm, so I don’t need them,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Big Brother, these are too precious. You just gave us over three hundred thousand Tribulation Pills, and now this? We… we can’t possibly accept,” Huo Zhen said earnestly.
Liang Yuan added, “Yes, Brother Lin Yun, we feel unworthy!”
Since following Lin Yun, they had received countless resources from him, and they naturally felt hesitant to take more.
“Who else would I give these to if not you? As long as you’re with me, I, Lin Yun, will hold nothing back,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
Huo Zhen and the other three clasped their fists in unison.
“You’re truly fortunate to have such a Big Brother,” Old Man Yan, standing nearby, said with a smile.
“Haha, Senior Yan is right,” the four laughed.
Lin Yun then took out ten billion spirit crystals.
“Huo Zhen, here are ten billion spirit crystals. Use them to buy cultivation resources to help comprehend the Mysteries, assisting Du Yuanzi and my master, the Wanderer, in mastering the Mysteries. Distribute the remaining spirit crystals to the city guards to help them advance their realms,” Lin Yun instructed.
Lin Yun had promised Du Yuanzi and the Wanderer he would help them reach the Tribulation Realm.
“Got it, Big Brother,” Huo Zhen replied.
After giving all the instructions, Lin Yun went to the back courtyard to see Du Yuanzi and the Wanderer.
The Wanderer was in secluded cultivation, while Du Yuanzi was preparing to build a formation for Lin Yun.
After a brief chat with Du Yuanzi, Lin Yun returned to his chambers.
Inside the chambers.
“Next, it’s time for me to cultivate,” Lin Yun murmured.
He needed to process the gains from the Spirit Vault, such as the “Heaven-Slaying Seal,” which he was now ready to study.
Before practicing the “Heaven-Slaying Seal,” Lin Yun first brought out the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron.
The Qiankun Pills refined by the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron might not be useful to Lin Yun yet, but he wanted to test their effects.
“Let’s give it a try!”
Lin Yun flipped his hand, revealing the weapons he had obtained from the Spirit Vault.
Among the weapons from the Spirit Vault, aside from seven Saint Spirit-level ones, there was also one Heavenly Dao-level weapon.
It was the weapon of Elder Mu from the Baili Clan.
“A Heavenly Dao-level weapon is too precious to melt for now,” Lin Yun murmured.
He put away the Heavenly Dao-level weapon and took out a Saint Spirit-level treasured blade, tossing it into the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron.
Buzz!
The Supreme Qiankun Cauldron instantly glowed with dazzling light.
About ten minutes later, a hundred black-and-white patterned crystal stones flew out of the cauldron, hovering above it.
“So, these are Qiankun Crystal Stones.”
Lin Yun reached out and picked up one to examine.
The Qiankun Crystal Stone was small, but the energy it contained felt uniquely powerful to Lin Yun.
“These Qiankun Crystal Stones must be incredibly attractive to immortals, right?” Lin Yun said, smiling as he looked at the stone.
Though the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron wasn’t for combat, it was a supreme treasure for aiding cultivation.
Lin Yun then waved his hand, storing the remaining Qiankun Crystal Stones in his storage space and putting away the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron.
After several battles in the Spirit Vault, Lin Yun had amassed many spoils. If he melted them all in the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron, he could obtain plenty of Qiankun Supreme Pills.
But Lin Yun wasn’t in a rush to melt them, as he didn’t need them yet.
Next, Lin Yun entered the One Thought Clarity Tower space, took out the “Heaven-Slaying Seal,” and infused it with inner force to activate it.
Buzz!
The information from the “Heaven-Slaying Seal” flooded into Lin Yun’s mind.
The “Heaven-Slaying Seal” was divided into seven seals.
It took Lin Yun half a day to fully process its contents.
Then, he began practicing the first seal of the “Heaven-Slaying Seal.”
…
Half a month later.
“With my foundation, I’ve only managed to master the second seal of the ‘Heaven-Slaying Seal’ for now. The difficulty is somewhat beyond my expectations,” Lin Yun sighed.
“Time to practice swordsmanship!” Lin Yun said, drawing his treasured sword.
“Hm?”
At that moment, Lin Yun noticed a communication jade slip in his storage space suddenly emitting a signal.
“It’s Yu Ying!” Lin Yun was startled.
This communication jade slip was paired with Yu Ying’s.
When they reunited at the Great Kun Ruins, Lin Yun had given Yu Ying a communication jade slip before parting, telling her to crush it to signal him in an emergency.
Now that the jade slip was sending a signal, it meant Yu Ying had crushed hers.
Lin Yun’s mind instantly tensed.
“Has something happened to Yu Ying? That shouldn’t be! She’s with the Tianqiong Clan; she should be safe!” Lin Yun muttered.
“No! If Yu Ying crushed the jade slip, she must be in great trouble! Perhaps even in mortal danger. I have to go to her immediately!”
With that thought, Lin Yun quickly left the One Thought Clarity Tower space and rushed outside.
Knowing Yu Ying, Lin Yun was certain she wouldn’t trouble him unless she was in dire straits.
Her crushing the jade slip meant she was in a desperate situation!
This filled Lin Yun with an ominous feeling…
“Is my lord going out?”
The steward in the courtyard, seeing Lin Yun’s haste, quickly asked.
“Inform Huo Zhen and the others later that I have business in the Tianqian Empire.”
Leaving those words, Lin Yun rushed out at top speed!
“Good heavens, what… what’s happened?” The steward, watching Lin Yun’s departing figure, was stunned.
In the steward’s eyes, though young, Lin Yun was usually composed. He rarely saw the lord so flustered and anxious.
Meanwhile.
After leaving the city, Lin Yun headed straight for the teleportation point.
Since Yu Ying crushed the jade slip, Lin Yun could sense her location, but due to the distance, he could only tell it was in the Tianqian Empire.
The Tianqiong Clan’s main base was, after all, in the Tianqian Empire.
Lin Yun used the teleportation array to reach the teleportation point outside the Divine Capital, then took another array directly to the Tianqian Empire.
…
Tianqian Empire, teleportation point outside the capital.
Upon arriving, Lin Yun could more clearly sense the location from the jade slip.
He immediately summoned his flying boat, pushing its speed to the limit, and raced toward the direction indicated by the jade slip!
