Chapter 178: Wolf King's Heart
Lian Yun felt a sense of strangeness, as if this was all prepared for the talented individuals, encouraging them to engage in battles to earn a substantial amount of Spirit Coins while generating more profits for Yin Yang City.
Take Gray Bear Valley, for instance; with the Five Ghosts Transport, Lian Yun could fight endlessly without rest.
The Five Ghosts Transport Talisman possessed half the effect of a personal space.
Additionally, there were two more points to consider. First, the Five Ghosts Transport operated underground, which significantly reduced the chances of being intercepted by others or Spirits, though it was not entirely impossible.
The second point was that the quantity and speed of the items transported by the Five Ghosts were related to the amount of spiritual energy obtained. The more spiritual energy one acquired, the more items could be transported at once and the faster they would arrive; conversely, less energy meant fewer items and slower transport.
This was good news for Lian Yun because if measured by realm, it would be quite a troubling matter for him on his path toward Ultimate Ascension to Emperor.
After dripping a bit of blood onto the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman, Lian Yun naturally understood how to use it once the talisman absorbed his blood completely.
It was somewhat unexpected for Lian Yun.
It turned out that the five ghosts represented five elemental attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The method of transportation differed from what Lian Yun had imagined as direct transport.
It actually depended on the item being transported and the environmental conditions along the straight line between the pickup and delivery locations.
For example, if Lian Yun wanted to transport a piece of iron to a warehouse, he needed to provide more spiritual energy to metal-type Spirits. If the route primarily involved waterways, he would also need to supply additional energy to earth and water Spirits.
If transporting through a forest, wood Spirits would take precedence, resulting in faster transport.
Overall, providing more spiritual energy to earth-type Spirits would still ensure that items reached their designated locations; it just meant that the Five Ghosts might take a longer route, extending the transport time.
Lian Yun placed the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman under the Nirvana Order on his back, ensuring it was always accessible and protected from loss.
After sitting in meditation for a while, he took a stroll around the novice village. It seemed that the new arrivals from Huaxia could recognize his identity at a glance, which left Lian Yun feeling somewhat speechless.
It felt as if wearing this Mask made no difference at all.
However, Lian Yun wasn't interested in recruiting new subordinates for now. Not seeing Ma Wenlong and the others, he left the novice village directly and headed north into the forest, where he met up with Joseph and the others.
When Lian Yun arrived, Ma Wenlong and the others were already engaged in battle. Joseph and two others were perched on a tree trunk. They were naturally surprised to see Lian Yun but didn't ask many questions, as if it was only to be expected.
After all, just Yang Zai Xing alone was comparable to any one of them. Thus, it was not strange for Lian Yun to complete his mission ahead of time.
Still, Joseph couldn't help but feel a bit curious and asked, "Mr. White, have you received any follow-up missions?"
Lian Yun nodded. "I need to find Zhang Caifu at the general store by noon tomorrow. The specifics are still unclear."
"Congratulations!" Joseph said, feeling a mix of envy and disappointment.
Lian Yun smiled slightly. "I feel like Yin Yang City is an endless pit; no amount of spiritual power is enough. So I think giving a certain number of Spirit Coins to the original residents of the novice village might lead to some Hidden Missions."
"Uh... I've never heard of that before, but I think Mr. White's suggestion is worth trying."
The main reason was probably that Joseph had recently received far more Spirit Coins than he had anticipated!
Lian Yun didn't pay much attention to this but thought it might be a good idea to let Ma Wenlong and the others give it a try as well.
Lian Yun allowed only the Ghost Slaves to battle, while he himself focused on cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy on a branch.
Although he had only recently arrived in the novice village, from his interactions with the Old Village Chief, he understood that the tasks in the novice village were generally to accept missions as soon as they appeared and complete them quickly.
Thus, Lian Yun was currently absorbing spiritual energy in preparation for tomorrow.
By around nine o'clock the next morning, Lian Yun instructed the Ghost Slaves to return to the Yin-Yang Stage to recover. After discussing with Joseph, they set off at eleven o'clock, each carrying two large backpacks back to the novice village.
Ma Wenlong had two tasks: one was to continue acquiring spiritual liquid, and the other was to attempt to gift Spirit Coins to all the indigenous people.
Joseph believed that a cap of one hundred thousand Gray Spirit Coins would be best, but Lian Yun felt that if the indigenous people were willing to accept them, he would give until they were satisfied.
After all, Lian Yun's first Hidden Mission required a million Gray Spirit Coins; it would be difficult to obtain a Hidden Mission without that amount.
Since it was Lian Yun's decision, Joseph naturally did not mind. What mattered most was that he knew Lian Yun would not shortchange him.
Lian Yun soon arrived at Zhang Fugui's general store.
At first, Zhang Fugui seemed oblivious to Lian Yun's arrival. However, by noon, he suddenly came alive. With an anxious expression, he said, "My wife is gravely ill and needs ten Wolf King's Hearts for treatment. I heard that you possess extraordinary abilities; I wonder if you could help me out. If you can bring me ten Wolf King's Hearts by noon tomorrow, I can expand your storage space to ten cubic meters."
"Of course, I will go help you retrieve ten Wolf King's Hearts right away," Lian Yun replied, turning around with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
First it was the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman, and now it was a ten-cubic-meter storage space—clearly, Zhang Fugui hoped that this laborer would work even harder in battle.
After a brief moment of complaint in his heart, Lian Yun immediately headed towards the valley where the Wolf Clan resided.
At the edge of the valley, Lian Yun summoned Hei.
In terms of speed and agility, Hei was undoubtedly the best among all of Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves. If Lian Yun did not use the Sword Control Technique, he would not stand a chance against Hei.
With Hei on the chase, catching up to the cunning Wolf King would be a piece of cake.
As before, the moment Lian Yun entered the valley, the Wolf King at the mountain top immediately fled. However, with Hei's relentless pursuit, Lian Yun was not worried about losing track of it and followed closely behind Hei.
Before long, Lian Yun reached a hillside and saw the Wolf King intercepted by Hei. The Wolf King crouched low in fear, occasionally glancing back.
It had quite a personality.
Lian Yun paid little attention to this but did not intervene; instead, he let Hei engage in battle with the Wolf King.
Hei was already powerful on its own, and now it seemed to exude an aura that intimidated the Wolf King even before the fight began. In just a few moments, Hei defeated the Wolf King.
Only then did Lian Yun approach, curious about the bright red heart lying before Hei.
