Chapter 241: True Monarch Primordial Spirit’s Attention, Qin Yu’s Pre-Battle Preparations

An assassination attempt had taken place within Yunlong County.

One man, one saber. He slew two Primordial Mansion Realm assassins, one of whom was in the Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm! With such a battle record, who would dare claim they could do the same? When Qin Yu was ranked forty-ninth on the Dark World’s Assassination List, it sent shockwaves through everyone who learned of it.

The Assassination List was a covert bounty board established by the many Evil Demon factions within the Great Wei, specifically targeting highly talented disciples. Anyone who made the list was undeniably an individual of extraordinary talent.

The list consisted of 108 individuals in total. The top fifty were all true experts in the Myriad Phenomena Realm! For a Qi Sea Realm cultivator to suddenly appear among them was utterly preposterous!

Of course, that would happen later, and Qin Yu was completely unaware of it for now.

At the Treasure Pavilion in Yunlong County City.

In the top-floor teahouse, Wan Yongchang personally received Qin Yu. His attitude was noticeably warmer and more respectful than before.

“Inspector Qin, congratulations! Slaying a Myriad Phenomena expert has made you famous throughout the Ling State!” Wan Yongchang said with a face full of smiles as he offered some Spirit Tea.

“You are too polite, Pavilion Master Wan,” Qin Yu said, cutting straight to the chase. “I came today to exchange some items for Primordial Stones or the treasures I need.

“I wonder, how many of the items I requested previously have you managed to gather?”

When the Insect Swarm was purging mountains, destroying temples, and sweeping away Demon Fiends, they kept some of the good items for their own use. The valuable items they couldn’t use were almost entirely traded to the Treasure Pavilion by Elder Wenyuan.

For example, the Beast Taming Ring on his wrist! With a spatial diameter of a hundred zhang that could store living creatures, it was a lethal trump card for him. He could easily stash hundreds of millions of Gold-devouring Insects inside and unleash overwhelming combat power. He could also store Thunder Beasts and other units in it to break through arrays and charge forward at critical moments. However, what he needed was far more than just a single Beast Taming Ring.

“Since it has only been a short time, I haven’t gathered much here. However, Inspector Qin displayed immense Divine Power in our Yunlong County by slaying Shen Tu Lu. After I relayed this news to the headquarters, they agreed to send over a batch of treasures.

“I was just about to discuss this with you, Inspector Qin.”

A smile beamed on Wan Yongchang’s face; he was in a rather good mood. Although the Treasure Pavilion claimed to collect the world’s Exotic Treasures, as a Pavilion Master of a mere county-level branch, the treasures he could mobilize were limited. This time, because of Qin Yu, the Treasure Pavilion had exceptionally elevated his authority, which naturally brought him many benefits.

Qin Yu’s expression brightened with joy. He took a booklet from Wan Yongchang’s hands and flipped it open, revealing a list filled with precious treasures, arrays, Special Exotic Beast Corpses, and more. Sweeping his gaze over the pages, his eyes landed on the numerous Exotic Beasts. These were excellent items that could directly increase the Insect Swarm’s combat power!

Three-legged Fire Crow: A Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm corpse (incomplete). It contains a trace of the Ancient Divine Demon Golden Crow Bloodline and is Supreme Yang and Fierce. Value: 1,000,000 Primordial Stones.

Profound Armor Earth Dragon Egg: Possesses a trace of the Ancient Divine Demon Xuanwu Bloodline. It is an Earth Element Top-level Demon Monster with astonishing Defense Power. Value: 1,800,000 Primordial Stones.

Thunder Flood Dragon: A Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm corpse (missing the Dragon Pearl). Obtained from a fallen Thunder Flood Dragon, containing a portion of the Dragon Race bloodline. Value: 900,000 Primordial Stones.

Dragon Mirage: Illusory Mirage with a Dragon Race bloodline. It is naturally adept at Illusion Techniques. Wherever it resides is shrouded in clouds and mist, and it excels in large-scale Illusion Technique abilities. Value: 2,000,000 Primordial Stones.

Scanning down the list, there were dozens of Exotic Beasts. Although it was far inferior to the Demon Suppression Bureau’s Merit Treasure Vault—and some of these had already been hunted by the Insect Swarm in the wilderness and added to their gene pool—Qin Yu was still quite satisfied with what he saw.

Take the Three-legged Fire Crow, for example!

The Heaven-Burning Fire Crow, which boasted the most powerful cluster bombing capabilities within the Insect Swarm, derived its bloodline from the very first Three-legged Fire Crow he had encountered. The bloodline of this Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm Three-legged Fire Crow was bound to be much denser. It would have a direct effect on enhancing the strength of the Heaven-Burning Fire Crows.

Or consider the Thunder Flood Dragon corpse!

The Dragon Race series units were an important component of the Insect Swarm. Currently, within the Insect Swarm’s Dragon Race series—the Profound Flood Dragons—there were several relatively stable conventional combat units. For instance, the four major series: the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon, the Hurricane Flood Dragon, the Bone-Eroding Poison Flood Dragon, and the Thunderstruck Flood Dragon.

Among them, the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon specialized in aquatic combat, the Hurricane Flood Dragon dominated aerial battles, the Bone-Eroding Poison Flood Dragon focused on highly toxic crowd control, and the Thunderstruck Flood Dragon delivered supercharged burst damage. The units that formed the Flood Dragon Dragon Battle Formation with the Flood Dragon King were mainly the Hurricane Flood Dragons and the Thunderstruck Flood Dragons.

As for the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragons and Bone-Eroding Poison Flood Dragons, they did not participate in this recent battle. If he bought this Thunder Flood Dragon corpse, it would likely have a significant effect on enhancing main units like the Thunderstruck Flood Dragons and Thunder Rocs. It would even greatly aid his own Law of Thunder and Lightning insights.

The only drawback was that it lacked a Dragon Pearl! Otherwise, he could have completely used it to create another Primordial Mansion Realm Elite Unit. The Dragon Race was very unique. The Dragon Pearl contained their very essence and was their most important treasure.

“Thank you! I’ll take the Three-legged Fire Crow, the Profound Armor Earth Dragon Egg, the Thunder Flood Dragon, and the Dragon Mirage. When can they be delivered? Also, I see an Alpha-level Low Grade Beast Taming Ring listed here with an internal diameter of up to 500 zhang?” A gleam flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes.

According to the intelligence from the Golden Wind Pavilion, he had seen certain restrictions regarding the Inheritance Grotto Heaven. Only ten additional people could enter through the inheritance, and they often had to do so via a teleportation method. Massive plant units like the Leviathan might not actually be able to enter.

But if he had this Beast Taming Ring with a 500-zhang internal diameter, he could even fit a batch of Leviathans inside. Although it was still impossible to bring the entire Insect Swarm in, he could at least bring along a batch of his elite main forces! With this, his confidence would increase significantly.

As he spoke, Qin Yu took a Space Ring from his robes and handed it to Wan Yongchang. Inside were mainly the treasures left behind by Shen Tu Lu, as well as the loot obtained from slaying those multiple Primordial Mansion Realm cultivators.
