Chapter 3401

Ye Liuyun’s Golden Eyes could see the soldier captain’s cultivation realm and soul strength. He was only at the second level of the Taixu realm, and his soul power was weaker than Ye Liuyun’s as well.

He swept the area with his Golden Eyes and saw that there were indeed several experts of higher realms here, but they were all cultivating inside their rooms, and no one came out to interfere. He immediately used his soul’s Red Eyes to cast an illusion on the little captain.

This was also the first time Ye Liuyun had attacked anyone since arriving in the Taixu World.

"Tell me about the situation here." Ye Liuyun easily took control of the little captain and began asking him about the place.

"Yes, Master." The little captain now regarded Ye Liuyun as his master.

"My name is Liu An, and I’m one of the guard captains here. All the soldiers outside today are my subordinates.

This is the Taixu Clear Spring Pool. Martial cultivators who come from the God Realm to the Taixu realm generally have relatively weak physical bodies. They must soak in the medicinal spirit liquid prepared here before they can adapt to the environment.

This Taixu Clear Spring Pool belongs to the Western Dynasty. The Taixu World is divided into five continents—the east, west, south, north, and central regions. However, the Central Dynasty is the largest, and the other dynasties are all governed by it.

The ruler of the Central Dynasty is called the Taixu God King. The rulers of the other regions are merely called princes. Our prince in the west is surnamed Chen, so we call him the Chen Heavenly King.

Martial cultivators from the God Realm are assigned randomly to the various dynasties. But the administrative systems of all the dynasties are the same. All martial cultivators from the God Realm are considered lowly commoners in the Taixu World, with a status even lower than that of ordinary citizens, and they must all perform hard labor."

Liu An continued telling Ye Liuyun, "Martial cultivators from the God Realm are assigned difficult jobs such as mining and doing menial labor. But Master, you don’t need to worry. I’ll smooth things over for you and make sure you get a good job. You might even be able to stay in the army and serve there.

I suggest that you soak in this energy pool first. Even if your physical body can adapt to the environment here, it would still be best to soak in it for a while so that you can adapt more quickly in the future. And even if your body doesn’t need it, absorbing some of the energy to improve your strength would still be beneficial.

The energy in the pools here is all left over after being absorbed by many other people. If Master wants to soak in one, I can find you a pool that no one has used before.

I’ll use this time to find the chief steward here and see whether there’s some good job suitable for Master."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun stopped and had him find the energy pool with the richest energy so that he could soak in it.

Liu An immediately brought Ye Liuyun to a corner where there were five energy pools. The water in them was emerald green, and their energy was clearly much richer than that of the other pools.

Ye Liuyun also learned a great deal about this place through soul searching.

The Interspatial Ring he had brought from the God Realm could not be used here, so he had Liu An give him a Interspatial Ring. Liu An put many storage rings and some of the resources he had plundered inside it and handed it all to Ye Liuyun.

The energy crystals commonly used here were crystals containing golden energy. They were all called Taixu God Crystals, or God Crystals for short. One portion of the God Realm’s Source Power could be exchanged for one hundred mid-grade Taixu God Crystals.

Liu An had tens of millions of mid-grade God Crystals in his possession. Ye Liuyun had him give him half of them, along with quite a few low-grade God Crystals. As for high-grade God Crystals, Liu An did not have many and needed to keep them to curry favor with the chief steward here, so Ye Liuyun did not ask for any.

After putting everything into his spatial world, Ye Liuyun returned an empty Interspatial Ring to Liu An, making it seem as though he had paid Liu An a fee.

He then used his illusion technique to weave an illusion and erase Liu An’s recent memories, making him believe that Ye Liuyun had given him a great deal of Source Power and bought him off.

This was also to prevent any experts here from performing a soul search and discovering that Ye Liuyun had used an illusion on Liu An.

After Ye Liuyun dispelled the illusion, Liu An still believed that he had received payment and happily went off to arrange a job for Ye Liuyun.

When the other soldiers saw how happy he was and that he had arranged such a good energy pool for Ye Liuyun, they all assumed that he had received a great deal of benefit from Ye Liuyun. But since these soldiers were all his subordinates, none of them dared to envy him.

Ye Liuyun also settled down and sank to the bottom of the energy pool, beginning to absorb the spirit liquid.

However, the medicinal liquid’s effects were beyond his expectations. It had miraculous effects on body refinement and the condensation of divine essence. His physical body immediately began to improve. The energy in the spirit liquid filled his entire body, making his flesh denser and more solid.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun’s divine essence could also absorb the energy within the spirit liquid, which could be used to condense his divine essence.

At the bottom of the pool, Ye Liuyun quietly released his clone and had it refine its physical body and divine essence alongside him. The clone had not benefited from the tribulation liquid earlier. Although it could withstand the pressure of the Taixu World, it was far weaker than Ye Liuyun’s true body, so this was a perfect opportunity for it to absorb more.

Two days later, Ye Liuyun could no longer absorb any more. The spirit liquid’s effect on his physical body was limited, so absorbing more would be useless. If he continued absorbing the spirit liquid into his divine essence, however, he estimated that his cultivation realm would soon break through.

The clone, however, was still absorbing it. Clearly, its overall strength was inferior, so it could absorb more. Liu An came by once to take a look. Although he saw Ye Liuyun’s clone, he pretended not to notice it.

According to his memories, Ye Liuyun had already given him a large amount of Source Power and reserved this pool, so no matter how much Ye Liuyun absorbed, he would not interfere.

It was another five days before the clone finally stopped absorbing. Its physical body had also reached the limit of what it could absorb from the spirit liquid, while its divine essence could be cultivated slowly later.

Ye Liuyun still needed to take advantage of Liu An’s ability to arrange a good position for him and leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, lest complications arise from delay.

He moved the remaining spirit liquid into his spatial world for storage. He even took out more than three thousand portions of Source Power and paid Liu An, then had him reserve three more spirit-liquid pools for him and moved all the liquid in them into his spatial world.

Those more than three thousand portions of Source Power were originally insufficient to purchase so much spirit liquid, but Ye Liuyun used his Red Eyes illusion technique. Besides, he was afraid that giving Liu An nothing and causing him too great a loss would arouse his suspicion. In any case, there was no use in keeping too much of this Source Power.

They had already kept enough cultivation resources for everyone, and in the future they would all use Taixu God Crystals instead, which would actually produce better cultivation results. That concentrated golden energy was of higher quality.

Meanwhile, Liu An used his connections and gave the steward here quite a few high-grade Taixu God Crystals. After all the trouble Ye Liuyun had caused him, he had nearly spent all his savings from these years.

The steward also turned a blind eye. In any case, it made no difference to him who used the pools, and he did not care.

Liu An also found two good positions through the steward: one as a menial disciple of a large sect, and the other as an ordinary soldier in a small border city.
