"Old Cai, I didn't expect you to contact your students." Lu Yin smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Old Cai's voice rang out, "I heard that you went to the Daynight clan?"
Lu Yin replied, "Yes, the Frigid Immortal Sect's ruins have appeared. Are the juniors of Astral-10 planning to train there?"
Old Cai hesitated. "We'll talk about that later, but there's something I'd like to ask."
Lu Yin was puzzled. Old Cai had always given him the impression that he was a sly old fox, shameless, and greedy for petty gains. However, he was also protective of his own people and would cheat anyone, including his own students. When had he become so shy?
"Please go ahead."
Old Cai coughed. "How is Nightqueen Qiuyu?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Nightqueen Qiuyu?
Why are you asking about her? "
"Is she still alive?" Old Cai asked nervously.
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, she's fine."
Old Cai fell silent.
Lu Yin did not press him, as he recalled that the Daynight clan had invited him to a Daynight banquet. When Old Cai had found out about it, he had told Lu Yin not to use the Money Bomb in the Daynight clan's territory. The Money Bomb was Old Cai's personal weapon, and it could not be used in the Daynight clan's territory. At the time, Lu Yin had only felt that he had been cheated. The Sandmaster had also mentioned that the Money Bomb had a bad reputation, but now it seemed that it might be related to Nightqueen Qiuyu.
"Mentor, what's your relationship with Nightqueen Qiuyu?" Lu Yin asked.
Old Cai sighed. "You might not believe me, but she's my fiancée."
Lu Yin was stunned and blinked. "Fi- why?"
"Fiancée."
"I know, why?"
"What do you mean why?"
Lu Yin wanted to ask how Old Cai had managed to find a fiancée like Nightqueen Qiuyu with his looks, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. It would be too hurtful. "Doesn't the Daynight clan forbid intermarriage with outsiders?
Why is she still your fiancée? "
Old Cai had no choice but to tell Lu Yin about his past.
Old Cai's past was not hard to guess. He had gone on an adventure in space, met Nightqueen Qiuyu, fallen in love with her, and then been separated by the Daynight clan. It was a very ordinary, but it was also a very sad story.
"What does this have to do with the Money Bomb?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. If it was just a broken relationship, then Old Cai wouldn't have told him not to reveal that he was a student of Astral-10, and he wouldn't have been implicated.
Old Cai coughed. "Back then, I was young and impulsive, so I created a few Money Bombs that destroyed some of the Daynight clan's buildings."
"Some?" Lu Yin had a strange expression.
Old Cai coughed again. "I accidentally blew up a stone tablet in the Daynight clan's ancestral grounds."
Lu Yin was shocked. "You even blew up the tombstones in the ancestral grounds?"
"Sigh, it's precisely because I blew up the ancestral land's stone tablet that the Daynight clan hates me to the core. Even Nightqueen Qiuyu hasn't forgiven me. To them, the ancestral land's stone tablet is the most sacred thing in the world. I was too impulsive," Old Cai said. His tone did not sound like he was blaming himself at all, and it sounded more like he was showing off.
In the current universe, before Lu Yin had appeared out of nowhere, who would dare to touch the Daynight clan's possessions?
Not to mention the stone tablet of the ancestral land.
"That can't be right. The ancestral land's stone tablet is guarded by an absolute expert. With your strength when you were young, how could you blow it up?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
When I broke through to the Enlighter realm, I took advantage of one of the Daynight clan's banquets to sneak in and accidentally blew up the ancestral land's stone tablet. Actually, I didn't manage to blow it up, and at most, I just kicked up some dust. As you said, there's a group of old fellows guarding it, but the Daynight clan made a big fuss over nothing, especially Nightqueen Qiuyu. That woman chased after me like a madwoman. Sigh, she was still too impulsive. "
Lu Yin was speechless. "She didn't chase after you. She just let you go."
Old Cai fell silent.
"You blew it up with a Money Bomb?"
"That's right."
"Is that why you told me not to use it in the Daynight clan's territory?"
"That's right."
"What about now?
Nightqueen Qiuyu is in the Daynight clan. Are you going to look for her? "Lu Yin asked.
Old Cai was shocked. "Isn't the Daynight clan under your control?"
Lu Yin answered, "The Third Nightking is coming back. I'll leave first."
"The Third Nightking?
He's still alive? "Old Cai was surprised.
Lu Yin replied, "If you're still thinking about Nightqueen Qiuyu, then go look for her. I don't think there's anyone in the Daynight clan who can stop you. You're on your own now." Lu Yin then ended the call.
The mentors of Astral-10 were not weak, especially Old Cai, who was very sinister. He had been able to escape in the past, and going to the Daynight clan was like going home for him. Lu Yin was not worried about the old man, as only the heavens knew how many Money Bombs he had prepared.
The old man definitely had even more advanced Money Bombs. Otherwise, how could he be so confident that he could find the ancestral land's stone tablet? The Money Bombs that Old Cai had sold to Lu Yin were all low-grade, and they could only blow up a Hunter at most. If not for the die's Enhance, he would not have been able to deal with an Enlighter.
Hold on, Lu Yin thought of something and contacted Old Cai again.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yin asked. "Mentor, are you still selling your Money Bombs?"
Old Cai was stunned. "You need them?"
"Of course, they're good stuff."
"With your current strength, do you still need them?" Old Cai was puzzled.
Lu Yin replied, "I do. How many do you have?
I'll take all of them. "
Old Cai was astonished and felt that it was very strange. When Lu Yin had first purchased a Money Bomb, he had only bought one, and he had looked like he had been cheated. At the time, Old Cai had told Lu Yin to come visit him more often and that he could have as many as he wanted. Now, Lu Yin was really buying them.
"How many do you want?"
"How many do you have?"
"I have as many as you want. I've made quite a few over the years."
"I'll take as many as you have. The price should be the same as before. Fifty star essence for one, and a hundred for three?"
Old Cai replied, "Same. How many do you want?"
Lu Yin was speechless. "I already said that I'll take all of them. Money isn't an issue."
Old Cai's brows rose. "You want to equip the army?"
"That's right."
Old Cai smiled. "Smart, Student Lu. Since you want to equip the army, we should discuss the price."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. He knew that this old man's personality would not change, and he was still trying to trick him. "I can deal with the Daynight clan anytime."
Old Cai's smile froze, and he rolled his eyes. "The price remains the same. I have more than 4,000."
Lu Yin frowned. "Only a little more than 4,000?"
Old Cai was unhappy. "What do you mean 'only a little more than 4,000'? Do you think that these are cabbages that can be made at any time?
It's already pretty good that I've been able to accumulate so many over the years. My materials are limited, and my time is limited, so please bear with me. Chenghui, 143,333 star essence for a total of 4,300. "
140,000 star essence was not considered much in Lu Yin's eyes. He could now upgrade any external item with tens of millions of star essence.
"The money will be transferred to your Mavis Bank account soon. I'll send someone to Astral-10 to retrieve the Money Bomb," Lu Yin said.
Old Cai grunted. "Then let's do that."
"Hold on, Old Cai. Don't you have any more powerful Money Bombs?" Lu Yin asked.
Old Cai replied, "I know what you're thinking, but I don't have any. When I blew up the stone stele in the Daynight clan's ancestral grounds, I didn't really want to blow it up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it out alive. I just wanted to vent a little. A Money Bomb can instantly launch an attack that surpasses a Hunter's power level. Go ask around and see how many people in this universe can do it."
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. The Ross Empire's combined battleships could launch attacks that surpassed a Hunter's power level, but they were too expensive and inflexible. It was already quite impressive that a small Money Bomb could have such power.
Most importantly, he could use his die's Enhance to upgrade all 4,000 Money Bombs to an Enlighter's power level. In total, he would need nearly 15 million star essence, which wasn't much at all.
Lu Xuanjun was an Explorer, and he had two Money Bombs that could threaten an Enlighter's power. Coupled with the white smoke, how spectacular would that be?
Lu Yin did not expect Lu Xuanjun to be able to deal with an Emissary, as long as he could deal with anyone below that level.
While Lu Yin was looking forward to upgrading Lu Xuanjun's equipment, in the Outerverse, outside Taimo Palace, brute force was still blocking the entrance.
The Sixth Mainland also had a giant tribe, and it was the Arrow Sect.
Brute Force was ten meters tall, and he sat cross-legged outside Taimo Palace as he watched the situation unfold. His terrifying pressure, which exceeded 700,000, caused everyone in Taimo Palace to panic. If not for the Great Eastern Alliance and the Hall of Honor, Brute Force could easily crush the entire Taimo Palace and capture everyone.
Gong Ling, the head of Taimo Palace, had an ugly expression on his face as he looked outside. Brute Force's existence was like a blade hanging over his neck, and he did not know when it would fall.
During this time, the disciples of Taimo Palace were not in the mood to cultivate, and they could only wait helplessly and despairingly. They did not know when that giant would attack them. A powerhouse with that kind of strength could easily destroy them.
"There's still no news from the Great Eastern Alliance," an elder said helplessly. He was an elder of Taimo Palace.
On the other side, someone else said, "The Great Eastern Alliance can't deal with that giant outside either. He claims that his power level exceeds 700,000, and the Sixth Mainland's cultivators already suppress our Fifth Mainland's cultivators. With his imprint, there aren't many in the Innerverse who can fight him, let alone the Great Eastern Alliance."
"Hmph, the Great Eastern Alliance is still in the mood to wage war in the Innerverse. They don't even care about my Taimo Palace. If it were up to me, I'd rather join that Arrow Sect," Shaozisong said unhappily.
As soon as he said this, Gong Ling's gaze swept over with an icy glare.
Shaozisong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.
He was a disciple of Peking Mentor, and he was Lu Yin's enemy. Ever since Peking Mentor had died, he had been sent to Arrow Mountain as a servant. He had only been released recently because the Taimo Palace's talent level had declined.
"Ancestor Arrow Mountain died at the hands of the Sixth Mainland, and you dare to say such things? Are you still a member of Taimo Palace?" an elder shouted angrily, criticizing Shaozisong.
Immediately, a few other elders berated him.
Shaozisong's expression turned ugly, and he clenched his fists.
"That's enough," Gong Ling said coldly. "Shaozisong, you may leave. Arrow Mountain is your servant."
Shaozisong was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt down. "Headmaster, this disciple spoke without thinking, and it was my fault. Please give this disciple another chance. This disciple has no intention of betraying the Fifth Mainland, but I'm concerned about the hundreds of thousands of disciples of Taimo Palace. I can't bear to be oppressed by that giant, so please give me another chance."
"Alright, you may leave. Arrow Mountain has been your servant for a hundred years." Gong Ling was disgusted, and he casually tossed Shaozisong out.
