Ye Yun stayed in Yun Tian City for three days. When he returned to Feng Le City, he first went to the Dragon Palace territory to transfer all the supplies from the territory's warehouse into his inventory.
With the wealth accumulated over these past few days, Ye Yun's spiritual stones directly broke through to 1.6 billion! The acquisition of herbs also proceeded smoothly. On Blue Star alone, Ye Yun had acquired nearly 50,000 sets of medicinal ingredients required for the Bigu Pills.
His gains on the New Mortal Continent were even more gratifying. Most players, in order to quickly accumulate the contribution points needed to enter the main city, returned to their star domain maps to purchase them with their own money. On average, this brought Ye Yun nearly 100,000 sets of herbs per day.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Feng Le City, Ye Yun looked at the mountain of herbs piled before him. He slowly took out his Guiyuan Pill Furnace, and under his control, it swallowed all nearly 400,000 sets of medicinal ingredients in front of him!
Five minutes later, Ye Yun obtained over 200,000 Bigu Pills, with more than 70,000 of them being high-grade Bigu Pills, and even dozens of supreme-grade Bigu Pills!
Guiyuan Pill Furnace (Upgradeable·Immortal Artifact)
Level Upgrade Value: 60000/200000
Pill Success Rate: Common Pills 80%, Good 55%, High-grade 30%, Supreme-grade 10%; Human-grade Pills 70%, Good 45%, High-grade 15%, Supreme-grade 5%; Earth-grade Pills 60%, Good 40%, High-grade 10%, Supreme-grade 2%...
"Damn it, this level upgrade value is simply mystical. It only took 20,000 upgrade points to go from spiritual artifact to immortal artifact. But now, it's demanding a whopping 200,000. Is it that exaggerated!"
Ye Yun was naturally excited about the Guiyuan Pill Furnace's upgrade, but upon seeing the upgrade requirement for the next level, he was on the verge of exploding.
Immortal Artifact. What comes after that? Divine Artifact? And after that?
"General, something has happened!" Just as Ye Yun was about to enter a secret realm to vent, Zhou Mingdong sent him a message.
"What is it!"
"The Hell's Eye on the Polar Bear's side seems to have unearthed a spatial node, and quite a few demonic creatures are emerging from it."
"Demonic creatures?"
Ye Yun was stunned, and then his consciousness immediately withdrew from the game.
On the top floor of the Dragon Palace building, Zhou Mingdong and other high-ranking officials were seated solemnly.
"What's going on?" Ye Yun appeared in the conference room with a flash and asked coldly.
"The Polar Bears never gave up on the Hell's Eye project. Yesterday, their geological survey team was investigating the bottom of the Hell's Eye when a demonic creature suddenly appeared from below and killed them all. Half an hour later, the troops surrounding the Hell's Eye were successively attacked by demonic creatures. Preliminary estimates suggest there are around 200 demonic creatures currently." Zhou Ningdong gave a brief report.
"What is the Polar Bear's reaction? How large is the area of demonic creature diffusion now?"
Ye Yun's divine sense rapidly covered the entire Blue Star and he soon discovered a large number of creatures emitting starlight in the Polia region.
These beings seemed to be composed of lava after a volcanic eruption, with black fumes constantly emanating from their bodies. Within this black gas, Ye Yun sensed an aura of death.
"The Polar Bears have already sent a rescue request to the United Nations Assembly, and the vanguard from various countries has departed. General, I believe this is an excellent opportunity for training."
Zhou Ningdong looked at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun, meanwhile, was tapping his fingers incessantly on the desk.
"I believe you have underestimated the severity of the situation. Those are not simply demonic creatures, but beings from hell, and their numbers are not two hundred, but over eleven hundred."
He paused here.
"They are not intelligent beings, their strength is at the Void Return realm, with some individuals at the Dao Integration realm. The vanguards of various countries are below the Void Return realm and will not be able to stop them."
The others had a general understanding of Ye Yun's strength, so they were not surprised.
"There is only one week left until the game's map merges. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, dispatch the first ten echelons of our Dragon Palace reserve members and ensure these hellish creatures are eliminated as quickly as possible. Wang Chen, you will be in charge of this!"
The four thousand official members, led by Li Chenxu, were still in the star domain. Moreover, Ye Yun did not believe it was necessary to dispatch experts at the True Human realm; a group of Dao Integration realm cultivators would suffice. Furthermore, having Wang Chen lead the team would ensure their safety!
"Yes!" Wang Chen stood up.
"Take this with you. Upon reaching the Hell's Eye, simply throw it down. However, once it's thrown, no one is allowed to approach the Hell's Eye again! Understood?" Ye Yun took out a small sword, about the size of an index finger, and handed it to Wang Chen.
"Yes!" Wang Chen said and walked out directly.
The demon cave in Shennongjia, the Polar Bear's Hell's Eye. These were already two spatial nodes on Blue Star connecting to other planes!
Ye Yun's divine sense began to frantically permeate the entire Blue Star. The world's highest peak, the Bermuda Triangle, Kunlun...
But he found nothing.
"Zhou Ningdong! I will provide you with the second batch of funds later when I enter the game. My requirement is to have all members of our Four Great Legions break through to the Heavenly Venerate realm as soon as possible! You and the other Legion Commanders must break through to the Star realm! Afterwards! All of you will continue to practice in the star domain and try to familiarize yourselves with your new powers!"
This time, Ye Yun was truly spending a fortune! He gave Zhou Ningdong all the skills he had acquired on the forums, including one billion spiritual stones! The remaining six hundred million, Ye Yun planned to give entirely to Wang Chen.
Currently, relying solely on the attribute enhancements from the Sky Pot and Earth Cup, his attribute points were already in the trillions. Thus, these over a billion spiritual stones were but a drop in the bucket for Ye Yun's own attribute growth!
Furthermore, besides the Sky Pot and Earth Cup, his True Fire Dharma Aspect also increased Ye Yun's free attribute points by one billion daily! Coupled with the gains from the worship of players in Feng Le City and Yun Tian City, this was already enough to put Ye Yun far ahead!
"Yes!"
The few of them looked at Ye Yun with excitement!
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for having 10,000 subordinates with a loyalty value of 100. The Emperor-Subject System has been automatically activated!"
"Note: The Emperor-Subject System allows you to view the loyalty value of players towards yourself, facilitating the management of your own forces."
What the?
Is everyone else playing a role-playing game? Why has mine turned into a strategy game?
Ye Yun discreetly checked around and found that the loyalty value of everyone present had reached 100, which greatly satisfied him. His money had not been spent in vain.
"General, we've received news from downstairs that the president of the Royal Dragon Society has arrived and specifically requested to see you."
