Chapter: Approaching the New Year
In fact, Chen Er Gou had been observing the entire market for nearly a week before he began to make real investments. The funds in his account fluctuated over time, sometimes increasing dramatically and other times being added slowly.
Of course, there were times when the amount decreased as well, sometimes with significant drops; however, such instances were infrequent. Overall, the total amount of capital continued to grow.
Relative to the vast market, Chen Er Gou's funds, even if they surged a hundred or a thousand times, would not attract attention. Therefore, Lian Yun chose not to pay too much attention and allowed Chen Er Gou to operate freely.
Meanwhile, Yan and Le, along with the Ghost Slaves, were quietly enhancing their strength.
By the time they reached Yin City, nearly two months had passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival. They had devoted themselves to training for less than a month and a half before the arrival of the new year's Annual Meeting.
However, with sufficient High-Grade Soul Currency to assist them, their growth was impressive.
Although neither Yan nor Le had broken through to the Demon Emperor level, their strength at the same tier continued to improve. They had soared from Initial Monarch directly to Peak of Sovereignty.
This might seem like an excessive leap, but in reality, both had prepared for such Peerless Monarch potential from the very beginning. It was just that their avatars lacked sufficient aptitude, which prevented them from unleashing strong combat power.
Now, as they continuously absorbed Soul Power essence and enhanced their qualifications, their strength naturally rose accordingly.
Additionally, Su Fang's progress was particularly astonishing; she had directly advanced to the peak of Second-Rank Ghost Emperor. To some extent, this could be considered a high-level Demon Emperor.
This was also due to her and the Nine Ghost Children absorbing High-Grade Soul Currency together. One person's cultivation speed equated to ten times that of another's. Furthermore, since following Qin Jiuwang and receiving abundant resources from the Qin Dynasty's influence, her aptitude was no longer that of an ordinary Spirit.
Now she was merely enhancing her strength without improving her qualifications; thus, her rapid advancement seemed quite reasonable.
Yang Zai Xing was on the verge of breaking through to become a Demon Emperor. With his status as a renowned general, his strength had reached the level of a true Peerless Ghost Emperor, boasting an extraordinary combat capability.
Few Ghost Slaves had managed to break through to Monarch status. Only Shihai Yong and Bai Yuancheng had achieved this, which surprised Lian Yun a bit. However, the other Ghost Slaves were not far from their breakthroughs, and it was likely that all of them would reach Emperor Level within the next year.
This could be seen as a testament to the diligence of Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves or as a reflection of the power present in Yin City, which was indeed a unique advantage for Lian Yun.
Without clones or independent identities, Peerless Monarch Ghost Slaves could not come to Yin City to earn Soul Currency, making such rapid progress unlikely.
Before the Annual Meeting, Le Yi Yan, with Yang Zai Xing by his side, challenged the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Layers of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
Although each layer of the Eighteen Layers of Hell had millions ranked within it, due to the presence of Soul Currency in Yin City, the number of Monarchs here was tenfold or even a hundredfold compared to Yin-Yang City.
Thus, the number of Demon Emperors in Yin City reached terrifying figures in the hundreds of thousands or even millions.
However, most of these were Low to Mid-Level Ghost Emperors.
Starting from the Twelfth Layer, the rankings on the Ranking List were unsatisfactory. The Thirteenth Layer had only around one hundred thousand, while the Fourteenth Layer had less than ten thousand, and the Fifteenth Floor had fewer than one thousand. The Sixteenth Layer had nine representatives from the Nine Major Regions, while the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Layers had no more than five each.
This meant that if one could clear the Sixteenth Layer, they would directly enter the top ten ranks.
However, Lian Yun dared not think about the Sixteenth Layer for now. Even with Clone Fun and Yang Zai Xing's Peerless Monarch power, Lian Yun found it extremely challenging to clear the Fifteenth Floor.
Yet when Lian Yun cleared the Fourteenth Layer, it caught the attention of all Major Powers in Yin City. After all, that already indicated that Lian Yun was among the top ten thousand strong in Yin City.
After clearing the Fifteenth Floor, although he could not yet be considered among the top hundred due to some Peerless Monarchs possibly lacking resources and thus not challenging this floor yet.
However, clearing the fifteenth layer meant that Yan possessed the power of the Peerless Ghost Emperor and held a certain status among them.
This caused a stir throughout Yin City, with many speculating about Yan's identity and seeking information about him.
Before the personnel from various Major Powers in Yin City had fully dispersed, the New Year Gala began. This was the main reason Lian Yun wanted Su Fang to come to Yin City, as the Year Beast Treasure Box could yield Supreme Soul Coins.
Supreme Soul Coins are highly valuable, not just for the amount of Soul Power contained within the Soul Currency, but because they assist Spirits in breaking through.
For Lian Yun, who was stuck at the Peak of Kings like almost all Ghost Slaves, Supreme Soul Coins were a much-needed resource.
Clearing the fourteenth and fifteenth layers of the Eighteen Layers of Hell brought Lian Yun a significant fortune. Even if he ranked at the bottom, he was still among tens of thousands and within a thousand.
In fact, due to Yang Zai Xing's strength and Le's assistance, Lian Yun ranked within the top hundred in the Fourteenth Layer.
As a result, his rewards ranged from one million to one thousand across three tiers, totaling three million High-Grade Soul Currency. According to previous tier rewards, moving from one thousand to one hundred should have granted him nine hundred Supreme Soul Coins.
However, if that were truly the case, it was unlikely that other Peerless Ghost Emperors would have just cleared these fourteen and fifteenth layers.
The actual reward was one hundred thousand High-Grade Soul Currency per layer; moving from one thousand to one hundred resulted in ninety million High-Grade Soul Currency.
The rewards for ranking from one hundred to ten were even higher—one billion per layer, totaling nine billion.
Since Lian Yun ranked within the top hundred in both the fourteenth and fifteenth layers, he amassed nearly thirty billion High-Grade Soul Currency.
While this may sound like a lot, it was actually quite scarce compared to Yin-Yang City.
To know that Lian Yun has billions of White Spirit Coins on both the BSS Tower and Challenge Platform's Ranking Lists every month, and that is just the reward from the King's Realm.
However, the rewards from the Eighteen Layers of Hell are one-time only; they will never be obtained again, and they belong to the likes of the Peerless Ghost Emperor.
For the Peerless Ghost Emperor, thirty billion High-Grade Soul Currency can only be described as poverty. However, for Lian Yun at this moment, it is considered a fortune.
This amount could buy a large quantity of Mental Potions.
Interestingly, in Yin City, Mental Potions are practically dirt cheap.
Many Spirits are impoverished, lacking strength and unwilling to take risks, so they are willing to work like laborers, expending their Mental Power to produce Mental Potions in exchange for Soul Currency. They then recover by absorbing Soul Power from the air and use the acquired Soul Currency to enhance their talents or realms.
Thus, under the vast numbers in Yin City, the market price for a single Mental Potion is less than ten High-Grade Soul Currency.
On the other hand, Supreme Soul Coins are exorbitantly expensive, requiring millions of High-Grade Soul Currency. Therefore, Lian Yun's thirty billion would only be able to exchange for three hundred Supreme Soul Coins.
Thus, Lian Yun naturally would not consider exchanging them at this time.
