Chapter 64: No Master or Mistress
"Title of Marquis?" Upon hearing the grand proclamation from above, even the indifferent Elder Mei couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
However, Lian Yun seemed somewhat confused.
Yao Yun'er immediately excitedly explained to Lian Yun, "Being granted the title of Marquis doesn't provide any special bonuses for mission rewards, but it does grant one additional power compared to an ordinary Marquis: the ability to borrow troops. As long as you pay enough wealth, you can borrow soldiers from the main city, even Ghostly Guards at the Peak of Sovereignty. Moreover, the borrowed troops often accompany the titled Marquis into Dungeons as Ghost Slaves to complete missions."
"For example, during the Year Beast Secret Realm event, if Brother Yun had the title of Marquis, you could have borrowed a Peak of Sovereignty Ghostly Guard to enter and reap substantial rewards."
Lian Yun felt a sense of wonder, but then he recalled Elder Mei's astonishment. With this title, as long as there was sufficient money, one could borrow a large force to fend off the Chaos Beast Tide at the Fortress.
For a Fortress faction, this title of Marquis held extraordinary significance.
However, Lian Yun merely nodded calmly. If he were to enter a Dungeon, he still preferred to train his Ghost Slaves rather than take the easy route.
Zhuang Wuxue was undoubtedly a capable leader. Although she was also shocked by the Emperor's bestowal of titles to Lian Yun and Xiao Jun and confirmed that the Yaochi Dungeon had been cleared, she first embraced those who had just emerged from the Dungeon and comforted them before asking, "Don't be afraid; tell me about the situation inside."
Yun, still shaken but much improved, took a breath and said, "Master, what Young Master Bai said is absolutely true."
"That... that dragon, the Azure Dragon... should not be provoked or offended."
As she spoke, she produced a lump of Yaochi Water.
It seemed that after being warned by the Azure Dragon, she had forced herself to endure her fear and had thrown a piece of Yaochi Crystal into the pool.
At this moment, Yun's news felt somewhat trivial since everyone present already knew the truth. However, when they saw her take out Yaochi Water, they couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, it had originally been Lian Yun who obtained it, and now they confirmed that they could exchange for it.
Yet Elder Mei's tone turned serious as she said, "Zhuang Master should consider how to deal with the subtle dynamics among the Twelve Cities' various factions. After all, other factions have women involved or leaders with female family members."
Upon hearing this, all the women from Yaochi were taken aback and then felt a sense of dread.
Although I had never given up in the past, I also hadn't thought about what to do after actually clearing the game. Now, startled by Elder Mei, Zhuang Wuxue felt a bit flustered and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Please teach me, Brother Mei!"
Elder Mei's expression was slightly bitter, but he clasped his hands and said, "In my opinion, Yaochi cannot monopolize this place. It would be better to open it up completely."
"Setting a rule that those who enter must pay ten to twenty percent of their gains should resolve our urgent issues."
"Alright, I will listen to you, Brother Mei. We at Yaochi won't ask for more than five percent." Elder Fu Bing will immediately establish a Teleportation Array here. The medicinal spirit will go to Xianyang City to inform about the key points regarding the Yaochi Dungeon and our conditions."
Suddenly, Zhuang Wuxue regained the demeanor of a great leader.
However, Yao Yun'er tilted her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked back and forth between Elder Mei and Zhuang Wuxue, eager to uncover any secrets or gossip.
Elder Mei couldn't help but flick her forehead lightly in annoyance and then clasped his hands again, saying, "Since your sect is busy with important matters, I won't disturb you further."
"Well... during such leisure time, it's all about brotherly order."
Elder Mei nodded and took Lian Yun along with him.
When they arrived at the entrance of Yaochi, Lian Yun noticed that the Teleportation Array was already crowded with people coming and going.
There were already Yaochi Disciples providing explanations for the 'visitors,' but they first warned that anyone without High Emperor-level strength should not harbor any delusions; thus, most of the newcomers were directly turned away.
Lian Yun and the others didn't want to engage, but upon seeing Lian Yun and Xiao Jun, the newcomers were astonished and speechless.
Being titled Marquis meant little to a Peerless Monarch; however, among Peak Monarchs, few held such a title.
Ignoring them, Lian Yun and the others directly teleported to Xianyang City's Central Square. At this moment, Elder Mei finally asked, "What are your plans next, White Patron?"
"First, I'll clear the last few levels of BSS Tower and Challenge Tower. After that, I might stay in Chang'an for a while to prepare for crafting Soul Gear for Ghost Friends."
"Indeed, there are special properties among Soul Materials. However, don't rush on your own Soul Gear; there are still two pieces with special properties within our Sect. I'll have someone send them to you. Additionally, you might want to ask Treasure Alliance for help in gathering some materials." Elder Mei's expression turned somewhat mysterious at the end.
Lian Yun took note of this and nodded before leading the way out.
Xiao Jun and the others were teleported back to Luoyang City, and then returned to the Sect. After exiting the Sect's Teleportation Array, they flew up, and Elder Mei suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "Jun, where is your sword from the White Patron?"
"Inside," Xiao Jun replied, raising his hand to summon Ancient Equilibrium, then quickly retracting it.
Both Elder Mei and Yao Yun'er were quite surprised.
It seemed rare, so Xiao Jun explained, "After passing the trial, Brother Yun and I received permission from the Azure Dragon to soak in the pool for two hours. During that time, Ancient Equilibrium entered my body, and Brother Yun's Wutai Sword did the same."
"Uh~~ Outsiders can only take the overflow water. You and Brother Yun actually soaked in the pool," Yao Yun'er said with wide eyes, her expression somewhat awkward, probably thinking about using someone else's bathwater.
Xiao Jun shrugged it off, saying, "The water you have was obtained by Brother Yun before we entered the pool, and we left no trace behind."
"Uh~~ It's better not to inform outsiders about this," Elder Mei said with some hesitation. He was likely considering that if other Major Powers discovered that their beloved ones or daughters used Yaochi Water that was actually Xiao Jun's and Brother Yun's bathwater, both of them would likely be hunted down by all factions, including Yaochi.
However, Yao Yun'er set aside her mental burden and then seemed to have a particularly long reaction time. Suddenly she covered her forehead and lamented, "The Yaochi Water Brother Yun gave me could probably allow two or three people to soak. It's a pity that Yooner has neither a Master Mother nor a Master Sister-in-law!"
Elder Mei couldn't help but flick Yao Yun'er's forehead again, but she blocked it with her hand. What left both Elder Mei and Yao Yun'er dumbfounded was that Xiao Jun also flicked Yao Yun'er's head from behind.
