Chapter 1: A Simultaneous Rise
"Hmph~~ You have followed Qin Jiuwang for so long, you should have heard some tales about Yin Yang City. If I hadn't promised Bai Yun to take care of you, I would have thrown you straight into Central Square or even outside the city. That would be letting you off easy! At that point, wouldn't you just be enslaved by other Spirits?"
"Now I'm giving you a chance to earn some capital. What more do you want? Three months of trading is your opportunity to gather enough resources to survive. What happens to you after that is none of my concern. If you offend me, I'll kill you like dogs. The contract is a permanent binding; stay alert so you don’t lose your minds and trade recklessly."
"I’m offering you a chance, yet you want to ruin me? Hmm~~"
"Hurry up and sign the contract, or die."
As for the Demon Mother, Lian Yun had come to terms with her; she was simply an unreasonable existence. Despite Lian Yun's fierce demeanor, she understood the stakes involved.
Taking half of their profits served two purposes: it counted as her investment share, and she knew that if she asked for nothing, the thirty-one Demon Mothers would surely not believe her.
Even asking for just half made them hesitant.
As the saying goes, evil has its own Evil Spirit to grind against it, or perhaps they truly understood the dangers of Yin City, which is why they decided that if anyone they encountered wasn’t Bai Yun, they would attack together.
At the very least, the person before them wasn’t asking them to sign a Soul Contract, which reassured the thirty-one somewhat. Under Lian Yun's stern gaze, all thirty-one Demon Mothers signed the contract.
Lian Yun then instructed them to change their forms and head to the first floor Trading Hall of the Mission Office while she provided Chen Er Gou with seven million Medium-Grade Soul Coins as capital, advising him to keep his connection with the thirty-one Demon Mothers under wraps.
Thus, Chen Er Gou gained nearly two hundred helpers but also acquired thirty-one opponents. Unless one of those Demon Mothers willingly chose to be enslaved by another Spirit.
Initially, Lian Yun had planned to buy a property for the thirty-one Demon Mothers to give them a place to settle down. However, teaching them how to fish was better than just giving them fish.
As long as they could learn some skills in the trading hall over three months and remained ungreedy, they could live peacefully without needing to fight. This was the most prudent way to ensure their well-being.
After Chen Er Gou left, Lian Yun began absorbing the Soul Power essence from the Medium-Grade Soul Coins right where she stood. The Soul Power essence contained within Medium-Grade Soul Coins was extremely rare—so subtle it was almost imperceptible.
However, after absorbing one Medium-Grade Soul Coin, in Xianyang City of Yin-Yang City, at the Cloud Realm base where Lian Yun's true body resided and was crafting Soul Gear, she suddenly paused.
The City and Joy within her Dantian came to a halt as well, revealing a hint of astonishment in their expressions. They all realized that their own Soul Power had inexplicably surged; although it was barely noticeable, that sense of growth felt undeniably real.
Through the sensation of the Yan Clone, they realized that three-quarters of the original Soul Power absorbed by Yan had been lost. This three-quarters was absorbed by the main body and the two clones.
Next, Lian Yun's main body and the city worked tirelessly to create Soul Gear for the Demon Mothers. They even disregarded Su Fang's feelings and forged a set of equipment for her as well.
Although they had considered that Su Fang's power might be needed, they never expected it would be required so soon.
The so-called original effect truly surprised Lian Yun, making him feel quite reluctant.
As the outside world described, Soul Power could directly enhance Soul Power itself, but Lian Yun discovered that it not only boosted Soul Power but could also be used for cultivation, improving Soul Body aptitude.
In other words, if there was a significant amount of Soul Power origin, it essentially meant that the more wealth one had, the stronger they were. A faction's wealth represented its true strength.
As long as there was enough Soul Currency, one could break through regardless of aptitude, transforming quantity into quality. It would simply be ten or a hundred times easier than normal circumstances; however, the total amount of required Soul Power would naturally increase by hundreds or thousands of times.
So when all the Ghost Slaves' equipment was completed, Le took the Ghost Group Ring and headed to Yin City with all the Ghost Slaves except for Hei.
Hei did not leave because he was quite stubborn. Even though he recognized that the three clones were also Lian Yun, he only wished to follow Lian Yun.
However, Hei possessed exceptionally high innate aptitude and was likely to be the first among Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves to break through to the Demon Emperor level. Therefore, since he didn't want to leave, Lian Yun allowed it.
Of course, that is a story for another time.
Now, after absorbing a Medium-Grade Soul Coin, Yan understood the actual situation and smiled lightly. However, he did not continue absorbing. Instead, he first went to the Trading Hall to post a task for purchasing Mental Potions and Superior Soul Swords before fully absorbing Soul Currency.
A week later, Lian Yun challenged the tenth layer of Eighteen Layers of Hell, investing one million Medium-Grade Soul Coins into Chen Er Gou and then fully absorbing Soul Currency.
When Le arrived later, he secretly teamed up with Su Fang to re-clear the first ten layers of Eighteen Layers of Hell, significantly improving their rankings in those layers.
However, due to Su Fang's unstable personality, they did not achieve Lian Yun's expected results.
Yet when Lian Yun teamed up with Yang Zai Xing to clear it again, their ranking did not improve much either. Thus, Lian Yun decided to challenge from the eleventh layer to the Thirteenth Layer.
Thirteenth Layer was merely a high-level Demon Emperor, yet Lian Yun chose not to continue. It wasn't that Yang Zai Xing lacked strength, but rather that Yan's abilities were insufficient. Yan could essentially only clear the minions. The task of battling the bss was primarily left to Yang Zai Xing. However, facing over a hundred high-level Emperor Level bss would undoubtedly pose significant challenges.
At this moment, attempting to challenge the fourteenth layer was undoubtedly a losing proposition.
With the rewards from three layers of Emperor Level, totaling four to five million High-Grade Soul Currency, it was enough for Yan, Le, and all the Ghost Slaves to absorb. However, after calculating, Lian Yun decided to keep only what was necessary and invest the remainder entirely into Chen Er Gou.
The more Soul Currency, the better. Therefore, Lian Yun did not rent a particularly large training room; at this moment, the Ghost Slaves could only absorb Soul Currency within the Ring Ghost Group.
Both Yan and Le absorbed Soul Currency simultaneously, effectively doubling the enhancement for Lian Yun. Meanwhile, Yan would take on some moderately difficult tasks to fight and digest the gains, while Leze could continue absorbing Soul Currency, without pause.
Ignoring other matters, the clones continuously completed tasks and absorbed Soul Currency. Any surplus was fully invested in Chen Er Gou.
And Chen Er Gou did not disappoint Lian Yun.
Although Lian Yun did not care about the profits or losses of Chen Er Gou, providing him with additional funds merely allowed for greater challenges ahead.
However, if there were losses, it would indicate that Chen Er Gou's training was ineffective. Only profits could signify progress or effective training.
