It's usually either the instrument is broken, or it's a genius.
Sure enough, the moment Lin Ye completed the transformation of his Golden Core, a strange wave swept across the area, causing City Lord Xia to tremble.
That feels so powerful!
Lin Ye's blood and qi roared like thunder, and even the smallest part of his body was thirstily absorbing energy.
He quickly took out a Grade 3 Spirit Nourishing Pill and took a sip.
Lin Ye's eyes glowed green as he condensed the mutated golden core to replenish his energy. The consumption was too great. The pill could replenish spiritual energy, but it was not enough to replenish the deficiency of his blood and qi!
My stomach and intestines felt like a bottomless abyss, and a fierce hunger burned in every part of my body!
"Lord of the city, my apologies."
Lin Ye couldn't resist any longer. There was a table of delicious food right in front of him, so he devoured it like a whirlwind and immediately started showing off!
The dragon-like aura, along with the unbridled surge of blood energy, made the city lord tremble slightly. Even when exhausted, he still had such abundant blood energy!
Judging from this, they won't stop until they've devoured me too?
She broke out in a light sweat and said, "Master Lin, don't worry, there's more here."
As he spoke, Lord Xia brought out a grill and began grilling meat on the spot.
With a sizzle, the tender and juicy pork ribs were slapped onto the scalding hot iron plate.
Lin Ye's stomach rumbled, and he couldn't help but want to have his cake and eat it too.
I always felt that the ingredients in Lord Xia's hands were more attractive.
"Lord Xia...why...did you cook yourself?" Lin Ye asked haltingly as he showed off the dishes.
Lord Xia chuckled and said, "These ingredients are very precious and are also special supplies for the decisive battle mechanism."
“An elder thought my cultivation level was too low, so I finally managed to get two people’s worth of food supplements from her… In principle, this is against the rules, and I don’t trust anyone else to handle it.”
"Master Lin, it'll be ready soon, don't worry."
Xia Qingran laughed and said, "Seeing how hungry you are, I'll give you mine too."
Lin Ye blinked: "Thank you!"
Xia Qingran kept her head down and focused on grilling the meat.
Before the giants awaken, her power is absolute and unshakeable.
If even someone at her level is wavering, it means that the current plan to exterminate the giants has completely collapsed.
Even if the Covenant moves again, such an extreme situation is a low-probability event.
She could still climb higher, but the higher she went, the more uneasy Xia Qingran felt.
Before the arrival of the Titans, the Covenant briefly explored the vast universe.
"Back then, in a metropolis like the original site of Ten Thousand Trees City, the administrators were powerful figures at the Nascent Soul stage."
'After defeating the Titans, it's quite possible that within a few decades, the social structure of the Covenant will resemble that of nine hundred years ago.'
'At that time, whether they treat me with courtesy or settle scores with me, my fate will be out of my own hands...'
Xia Qingran felt a strong sense of crisis.
She craved power, both external and internal.
'Although my elders understand the problem and are willing to allocate resources to train me, can I really improve that quickly...?'
'So, I got enough resources for two people; one portion can be shared.'
Thinking of this, the young Lord Xia, whose eyes could already be described as "vigorous," quickly glanced at Lin Ye in front of him.
Lin Ye felt a tickle in his heart as she was stared at by her beautiful sky-blue eyes.
I'm still hungry!
The legendary special ingredients sizzled on the grill, emitting a deadly aroma that made Lin Ye feel that the ordinary ingredients in his bowl were not as appealing.
Lin Ye began to suspect that the Star Alliance might be keeping a being similar to a Great Demon.
Then we took advantage of it and exploited it relentlessly!
What kind of meat is this special-supply ingredient? It smells so good!
The aroma of the roasted meat seemed to transform into a wisp of smoke shaped like a beautiful woman, smiling sweetly at him and casting flirtatious glances. In Lin Ye's eyes, the real beauty who was roasting the meat vanished into nothingness for a moment.
Xia Qingran had never tasted this special ingredient before, and secretly swallowed.
But he suppressed his appetite and decided to satisfy the ravenous beast before him first.
"Alright! Try it."
As the barbecue approached, Lin Ye completely broke down, and his two chopsticks, like dragons emerging from the sea, instantly snatched the barbecue from Lord Xia's hands!
With one bite, the volcanic aroma rushes straight to the brain from the lips and teeth, and you chew it up without a care in the world, skin and bone.
"Holy crap... what kind of meat is this?! It's delicious!!!"
.......
After the meal, Lin Ye, with a reserved yet elegant demeanor, wiped her mouth.
At first, Lord Xia was a little tempted.
He had completely given up halfway through, and watched Lin Ye eat with a smile.
"Hey, what a feast for the eyes... Lin the Refiner's looks really stand the test."
"It's quite a sight to see when they get angry," Lord Xia said with a grin.
"That's right, City Lord, please praise me more."
After the meal, their relationship seemed to have improved considerably.
Lin Ye took a sip of water and said, "It was delicious. Will I be able to have it again next time?"
Lin Ye was quite certain that this special ingredient was definitely related to creatures similar to the Great Demon.
Despite his body always being overnourished, he was still able to directly improve his physique!
That's awesome!
Lin Ye still wanted to eat.
In addition, he was quite satisfied with Lord Xia.
Given his position, he has two paths to choose from during this period of transition.
One option is to join the decisive battle organization. After competing, one might receive full-scale training at the level of a decisive battle weapon pilot or a Nascent Soul stage sacrificial vessel's power output port.
However, there is a small problem, the first being the delicate timing.
The awakening of the giant god will occur within a hundred years, but it could take as little as a dozen years.
If it had woken up earlier, then Lin Ye would have had no chance of being nurtured to the "peak of the Nascent Soul stage" during that time.
In this situation, no matter how much talent he has, his position within the decisive battle organization will always be unstable.
Even with the best resources for training, Lin Ye's identity will not be very stable. When he is squeezed out by the existing top-level experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his situation will not be easy.
He could certainly fake being at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but explaining his sudden surge in cultivation level is another problem...
Another option is to stay in Wanshu City and become a local powerhouse.
This is much safer.
In this situation, other methods are needed to obtain Star Alliance training.
Lord Xia is a good port!
The resources she can access may not even be the most top-tier.
But with Lin Ye included, their roles complement each other. She is responsible for opening up channels, while Lin Ye can expand those resource channels.
This could allow Lin Ye to enjoy top-tier resource investment in a safe environment.
'As for what if someone from higher up comes and tries to get me out of here...'
'I'll make my injuries look more severe, so they'll be certain when they fly over that I can't be nurtured to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before the giant god awakens.'
'I've almost fully established my connections in Wanshu City; it'll be convenient to do anything here. But as for the decisive battle mechanism, I think I shouldn't go.'
'Even after the death of the Titan, the Star Alliance still needs talented cultivators, and with the upper limit of cultivation levels being lifted, future powerhouses will be even more important.'
'So these injuries won't actually affect their training of me too much, it's just a pity I can't use them now.'
Think so.
Lord Xia's identity and his own are indeed very complementary!
This meal can be considered a way of exchanging greetings.
Lin Ye was naturally very satisfied and stood up, saying, "Lord Xia, I will remember your kindness."
"I'll stand up for you when needed."
I need him to help me secure a position at the top decades later...
By then, Master Lin will definitely become very, very strong.
In the end, the calculations were still successful. After eating this meal, Master Lin's Qi and blood increased remarkably... His talent is exceptional!
Xia Qingran was also very satisfied and shook hands with him.
"I'll give it to you."
Chapter 191 The Longevity Competition: The Emperor Who Is Suspected of Living Out His Eighth Incarnation!
It's getting late.
Lin Ye left the city lord's mansion and rubbed his stomach.
The spiritual energy was replenished by the elixir, and the vital energy was also replenished after a hearty meal...
Lin Ye had thought that way, but after getting up and walking a few steps, she felt a little empty in her stomach.
He walked into the mall, planning to find a buffet restaurant, enjoy a delicious late-night snack, and incidentally teach his boss a lesson.
Even Lin Ye's bloodline power was temporarily drained by the Golden Core.
It hasn't recovered yet.
Dual cultivation... We'll practice dual cultivation right after dinner...
Cough cough, this is how you quickly replenish your bloodline power.
Lin Ye's sharp gaze was fixed on the sign of a lousy buffet restaurant. Just as he was about to go over, he suddenly felt a series of hazy thoughts.
"Hehehe~ Kid, did you hear me...?"
"Who are you?" Lin Ye paused in his steps.
A clear and lively voice rang out, "I'm your sister's friend! I'm contacting you on her behalf."
"Nothing else, just letting you know I'm safe."
"You've been frozen in the Eternal Longevity Ice for over ten thousand years, and you're only now coming to find your sister?"
The other person teased, their voice sounding somewhat immature.
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.
This is probably because they're treating him and Di Yan like siblings...
This voice, which sounds like that of a young girl, seems to belong to one of the powerful beings who, like Di Yan, came from the mortal realm to the universe.
Unsure how long the communication would remain open, Lin Ye quickly asked, "Senior, is my sister alright?"
"Hehe, it's never been this good."
My sister's friend laughed and said, "It borrowed the power of many Devouring Titans."
"They're currently seeking revenge on their enemies, and the results are expected to shock the world..."
"But you can't receive messages right now, haha!"
"Borrowing power...!"
