Lu Yin looked at his palm and saw that the two drops of liquid had already entered his body.
"Don't think that others can cure you. This poison came from the Everlasting Race, and even the Hall of Honor can't cure you," Yang Kong reminded him.
Lu Yin looked at Path Lord Si.
Path Lord Si nodded.
"What about my resources?" Lu Yin asked.
Yang Kong looked at Lu Yin with a much more relaxed expression after being poisoned, as if he was looking at one of his own. He had been too confident in this poison, but the more confident he was, the less confident Lu Yin felt. That wasn't just the Poison of Life, but also the Tears of Samaritan. Who knew what would happen when the two poisons were combined?
But no matter how strong the poison was, it couldn't possibly be stronger than a Progenitor's battle technique. The Desolate Ancestor was a Progenitor who had grasped the secrets of eternal life. Things could be reversed when pushed to the extreme, and even a Half-Ancestor's injuries could be healed. Poison shouldn't be a problem for him.
"Follow me," Yang Kong said as he headed off in a certain direction.
Lu Yin hurriedly followed.
Actually, Lu Yin didn't know much about how the Everlasting Race cultivated or how they used their resources. Even though he had a premonition that he would be able to make a small fortune, he had never expected it to be so ruthless.
Lu Yin was stunned as he looked at the endless sea of star essence. "This, this is …?"
He had followed Yang Kong to the underground of the Everlasting Kingdom, thinking that it would be another place to modify Corpse Kings. He had never expected that it would be a storehouse for resources. The endless sea of star essence reminded Lu Yin of Planet Junior Progenitor in the Cosmic Tree Realm. Of course, the amount of star essence here couldn't compare to that of Planet Junior Progenitor, but it was still spectacular. There were probably tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of star essence here!
Lu Yin stared blankly, as if he had never seen the world before.
Yang Kong replied, "Take whatever you want."
Lu Yin looked at him. "Are the Everlasting Race that rich?"
Yang Kong answered, "Not the Everlasting Race. All of the resources here come from the Starfall Sea."
Lu Yin understood. No wonder there were so many resources here. If all of the resources in the Starfall Sea were combined, it would definitely be an enormous sum, just like the resources in the Innerverse.
"Can I take whatever I want?" Lu Yin asked.
Yang Kong disdainfully replied, "Whatever." He then turned to leave. "I'll wait for you in the western part of the city.."
Lu Yin was left alone.
He couldn't believe that he could take whatever he wanted?
Was there someone monitoring him?
It shouldn't be possible.
Lu Yin could understand Yang Kong's thoughts. Yang Kong believed that as an Emissary, there was no need for him to take too many star essences aside from battle techniques. It was meaningless. Furthermore, how many resources could he store in his cosmic ring?
Lu Yin licked his lips, and his eyes lit up. Since that was the case, then he wouldn't be polite. He thought about it and dove into the bottom of the star essence. If he wanted to take it, then he would start from the bottom to prevent anyone from noticing.
Ever since he'd started cultivating, he'd never felt so full before. Everyone hoped that others would tell them to take whatever they wanted, but this was the first time Lu Yin had experienced it after cultivating for so long, and he had to admit that it felt great.
It was very difficult for him to maintain a decent level of resources, at least for him.
He painfully took out another batch of star essence from his cosmic ring, and only then did he manage to cover up the fact that there was nothing left.
There weren't as many star essence here as Lu Yin had imagined, but because they were spread out so widely, it gave him the illusion that there was no end in sight.
He had taken more than 30 billion cubic meters. It was more than 30 billion, not 300 million.
This number made his heart tremble.
He'd never stored so much money in his cosmic ring before. Ever since he'd started cultivating, it had been a question whether or not he'd accumulated enough resources, but now, he was full.
There were more than thirty billion star essence, and Lu Yin was already calculating how he was going to spend it.
However, in the vast Starfall Sea, there were only so many star essence, which was still too little. There had to be some that weren't here.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and turned to leave. He hurriedly left to avoid attracting attention.
When he saw Yang Kong again, Lu Yin found him pleasing to the eye. This guy was basically a god of wealth.
Yang Kong was puzzled by Lu Yin's expression. "Have you taken enough?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Not bad."
"Take more. As long as you perform well during the mission, you can use the resources there as you wish."
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Deal." He didn't need it since there weren't that many resources there.
When he arrived at the western part of the city, Lu Yin didn't wander around. Instead, Yang Kong brought him to a corner where he saw the Burial Garden's Gate.
He almost couldn't resist the urge to charge in.
"This is the Death Gate, which is also known as the Burial Garden's Gate in the Human Domain. Once you enter, you'll reach the Burial Garden. You should have heard of the Burial Garden before," Yang Kong calmly explained.
Lu Yin grew serious. "One of the Three Dark Hands?"
"The Burial Garden has already opened, and there are many opportunities and inheritances within. Our mission is to hunt down and kill those who have obtained these inheritances and steal them. If we can't, we'll destroy them, especially those with ancient bloodlines."
Lu Yin was astonished. "Ancient bloodlines?"
Yang Kong explained how he had been hunted down by the mummies. "There are ancient bloodlines in the Starfall Sea as well, but they've all been cleaned up. The continuation of these ancient bloodlines can open up inheritances that are detrimental to the Eternals, so you have to kill them. Every time you kill an ancient bloodline, you'll be rewarded. When the Eternals rule the Fifth Mainland, you'll be able to rise to the top with these contributions."
Path Master Si had never mentioned what her mission was, and Si Xiao 'er hadn't been able to find out. Only now did Lu Yin find out that it was to hunt down ancient bloodlines.
The Eternals' Corpse Kings couldn't enter the Burial Garden, as it was a forbidden area that would result in certain death. Only humans could hunt down ancient bloodlines, and they were the Eternals' minions.
"Rule the Fifth Mainland?
I heard that the Three Progenitors are guarding the Fifth Mainland. How can we get in? "Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Yang Kong answered, "It has nothing to do with you. The Eternals will definitely rule the Fifth Mainland in the future, so your job is to complete your mission and kill as many ancient bloodlines as you can. Also …" He then raised his head. "If you meet a youth called Lu Yin in the Burial Garden, keep an eye on him."
"Lu Yin?
Who's that? "
Lu Yin feigned confusion.
Yang Kong coldly replied, "It has nothing to do with you. Just keep an eye on him, but be careful not to be discovered. He's no weaker than any of you."
Lu Yin was shocked. "An Emissary?"
"No, but he's more terrifying than an ordinary Emissary." Yang Kong was solemn, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
Lu Yin was serious. "Alright, I'll keep an eye on him."
Yang Kong snorted. "An Enlighter challenging an Emissary among the Fifth Mainland's younger generation? I can do that as well. I'll definitely get back at him for the humiliation of my defeat."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Defeat?
This guy was definitely not Kong. That's right, Lu Yin had never fought with this Yang Kong before, so he was definitely not Kong.
Although he had already confirmed this, Lu Yin was now certain that this person was definitely not Kong.
When he thought back to what Yang Kong had just said about the Eternals dominating the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin thought of a very bad possibility.
Clang.
The sound of chains rang out, and Lu Yin turned around to see a group of people being dragged in by a Corpse King. The Corpse King's scarlet vertical eye met Lu Yin's gaze.
It was filled with brutality and malevolence.
Lu Yin watched as the chained people slowly approached.
"These people walked out of the Burial Garden and were captured by us. They can also be selected to enter the Burial Garden this time. Keep those who are useful," Yang Kong said coldly.
Soon, those people were brought to the front.
Lu Yin stared at two of them in shock. One had disheveled hair, was dressed in green, and had a fierce gaze. Was this Lulu Mavis?
The other was Ku Lei.
It was a small world!
There were sixteen people in total. Some were uneasy, some were calm, and some were angry.
"Pick a few and take them with you. Think of a way to get them to cooperate. If they don't cooperate, then kill them," Yang Kong said coldly.
Lu Yin did not hesitate to take Lulu, Ku Lei, and Lulu away. He took a total of four people with him.
There were only four days left before they entered the Burial Garden.
Lu Yin did not return to Water God's Training Grounds, as Path Master Si did not like him. His identity was public, so there was no need for him to go there.
The eastern part of the city was huge.
Lu Yin casually found a place and left Ku Lei and the others to meet with Lulu alone.
"I won't help you, human traitor," Lulu said with disdain. Her gaze was fierce, and she gritted her teeth.
Lu Yin grinned. "You're really unlucky to have come to the Starfall Sea."
Lulu snorted, but she had no interest in talking.
"They probably don't know that you're from the Mavis Family," Lu Yin said.
Lulu's expression changed, and she stared at him. "What did you say?"
"I said, you're from the Mavis Family," Lu Yin said slowly.
Lulu was in disbelief. "How … How did you know?"
When the Sixth Mainland had invaded, they had announced multiple times that they would capture Mavis Family members alive. The Mavis Family was very special in both the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands. If Yang Kong knew that Lulu was from the Mavis Family, he would not have given her to Lu Yin so easily.
Lu Yin walked over to Lulu. There was no water on his body, and he looked like a desiccated corpse. He looked sinister and disgusting.
Lulu subconsciously backed away, her eyes flickering with vigilance as she stared at him. "Who are you?"
"We had a deal. You lent me money, and I helped you get something from Astral-10. Do you still remember?
Lulu, "Lu Yin said slowly.
Lulu's eyes widened and her mouth fell open in disbelief. "Lu … Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin smiled and opened his arms. "Long time no see, Lulu. Come, give me a hug."
Lulu cried out in shock. Lu Yin's current appearance was truly frightening, and her hair stood on end. "You … You're really Lu Yin?"
"I'm the real deal." Lu Yin smiled. Scaring this brat was quite interesting.
Lulu shook her head and pouted. "I don't believe you. How can you be Lu Yin?"
"I am. Who else would know about our deal?
Actually, you still haven't told me what you want from Astral-10. "
Lulu was conflicted. "You're really Lu Yin?"
"Definitely."
"Then tell me, have you returned the money you lent me?"
"Yes."
"No, you haven't!" Lulu shouted.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "You're still a core member of the Mavis Family. It's not good to go back on my word. I already said that I'll let you roam freely in the Great Yu Empire and search for the Undying Manual. That's why you went to Earth. Are you going back on your word?"
