Chapter 617

Ye Lin didn't take what Liu Ruyan said to heart.

After taking the lion's share of the Immortal Source Stones, he used Endless Devour to start improving his cultivation.

Killing people and seizing goods?

How could that kind of thing be as fast as doing black-hearted business? The risk was high and it was a capital offense, it was too cost-ineffective.

Moreover, what he was doing wasn't black-hearted business; the customers were satisfied, the employees were happy, how could this kind of business be considered black-hearted, right?

One by one, the Immortal Source Stones were turned into powder after Ye Lin devoured their energy.

He took the lion's share of the profit from Yihong Zoo over the past four months, and if Liu Ruyan wanted to absorb his Yang energy, he would even charge Liu Ruyan money.

Therefore, in just four months, the low-grade Immortal Source Stones in Ye Lin's hands reached a staggering 800 million!

This was even enough for 8 ascenders to reshape their physical bodies.

And Ye Lin didn't have the idea of being a miser; he turned all these Immortal Source Stones into his own cultivation.

The majestic immortal energy poured in from the pores all over his body, instantly clearing his extraordinary meridians.

Supported by such a huge number of Immortal Source Stones, the barrier between the Pulse Condensation Realm and the Spirit Gathering Realm was difficult to block Ye Lin, and he broke through it instantly.

Early Spirit Gathering, Mid Spirit Gathering, Late Spirit Gathering!

Only after reaching the late stage of Spirit Gathering did Ye Lin finally stop absorbing the Immortal Source Stones.

"Low-grade Immortal Source Stones still have too many impurities," Ye Lin frowned slightly.

The energy contained in one top-grade Immortal Source Stone is equal to one million low-grade Immortal Source Stones.

But if you want to use low-grade Immortal Source Stones to buy top-grade Immortal Source Stones, you often have to pay about 1.2 million to buy one.

One of the reasons is that low-grade Immortal Source Stones have too many impurities; if cultivators absorb a large amount, they need to waste time dealing with the impurities, otherwise, it will lead to an unstable foundation.

"Swallowing people is still more comfortable..."

Ye Lin muttered to himself and stood up; if he waited for those people to finish swallowing the Immortal Source Stones and then swallowed the people, it was equivalent to having a human-shaped purifier help him purify the impurities contained in the low-grade Immortal Source Stones, so naturally, there would be no impact.

It's just that he wasn't a killing maniac, so this kind of thing naturally couldn't be done casually.

In four months, being able to improve from Great Perfection of Pulse Condensation to late-stage Spirit Gathering, this speed of cultivation improvement was already extremely astonishing; after all, the current Longevity Continent had long since entered the Age of Dharma Decline.

Ordinary cultivators might have to take years or even decades to have a chance to break through once.

Just as Ye Lin stood up, Liu Ruyan also found him in a hurry.

"Something happened! The Lingquan County government has brought people to check on us!" Liu Ruyan's expression was extremely solemn.

"Don't panic, notify everyone to let all the fierce beasts change back to their true forms."

Ye Lin waved his hand, then strode to the entrance of Yihong Zoo.

At the entrance, a man wearing the official uniform of the Angry Sea Dynasty stood with his hands behind his back, and behind him were several powerful guards.

"I am Yan Fan, the cultivator responsible for governing Lingquan County."

"Are you the boss of this Yihong Zoo? Someone reported that there are illegal transactions inside."

Yan Fan lowered his eyes, looked Ye Lin up and down, and there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

"I've been wronged, my lord!"

Ye Lin threw himself onto Yan Fan, shouting about being wronged while stuffing a storage ring into the other party's hand, and by the way, wiped his snot on him.

"Our Yihong Zoo is a formal place, please don't listen to the slander of villains!"

Yan Fan's divine sense moved, and he checked the number of Immortal Source Stones in the storage ring.

He calmly put the storage ring into his bosom.

"Oh? Then I must investigate thoroughly!"

Yan Fan took the guards behind him and entered Yihong Zoo directly.

However, because Ye Lin had already given orders, Yan Fan could only see a bunch of animals walking around as soon as he came in, and a few little foxes were looking at him cutely.

Except for Liu Ruyan, not a single woman could be found in the zoo; everywhere he looked, there were only animals.

"Hmm, not bad, there really is no problem."

Yan Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I will respectfully send off my lord, welcome my lord to come to our zoo to see animals next time," Ye Lin smiled and prepared to send Yan Fan away.

But at this moment, Yan Fan stopped his steps.

He gave a look to the guards behind him, and those guards understood and retreated directly, leaving only Yan Fan and Ye Lin.

Yan Fan put his arm around Ye Lin's shoulder, then chuckled softly.

"Little brother Ye, I see that you are also a sensible person, since that's the case, then I'll speak plainly with you."

"I came this time, checking whether your Yihong Zoo is in violation is only secondary; the main thing is to come to build a bridge for you, you are about to make it big!"

Ye Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, then asked.

"Oh? How so?"

"A big shot wants to buy a stake in your Yihong Zoo, this is a truly top-tier big shot!" Yan Fan said mysteriously.

"What big shot?" Ye Lin pressed.

"The current Second Prince of the Angry Sea Dynasty! Nangong Buhui!" Yan Fan said word by word.

"So that's how it is, then I don't know how many Immortal Source Stones this Second Prince wants to buy a stake with?"

Ye Lin nodded.

If he could get involved with the Second Prince of the Angry Sea Dynasty, that would indeed be a good thing for him.

It would clearly be much more convenient for his branch zoos to open in other cities.

Yan Fan looked at Ye Lin in shock.

"The Second Prince is willing to buy a stake in your Yihong Zoo, which is a great thing, and you still dare to ask him for Immortal Source Stones?"

"What do you mean? He's not planning to give Immortal Source Stones, just licking his face to come and buy a stake?"

Ye Lin also looked at Yan Fan in shock, the two of them staring at each other with big eyes.

"Little brother Ye, I advise you to think twice! The Second Prince is willing to buy a stake, which is a great thing for you; once the Second Prince successfully ascends the throne, you will have the merit of following the dragon!"

Yan Fan began to persuade him meaningfully.

"Moreover, the Second Prince doesn't want much, he only wants 50% of the profit of your Yihong Zoo; from now on, your Yihong Zoo will be the Second Prince's industry, and within the Angry Sea Dynasty, absolutely no one will dare to touch you!"

Ye Lin sneered.

So after all that, this Second Prince Nangong Buhui was actually someone who wanted to get something for nothing.

It would be about the same if the Emperor of the Angry Sea Dynasty promised this matter; a mere Second Prince, and he deserves to say no one dares to touch him?

Not to mention anything else, the Second Prince's competitors would be the first to suppress this Second Prince's industry.

It seems he had been too honest during this period, and someone actually dared to set their sights on him.

"Little brother Ye, have you considered it?" Yan Fan said with a smile.

"Go tell the Second Prince, let him burn incense and bathe, wash up clean, and then put on his best-looking clothes," Ye Lin said.

"What is this for?" Yan Fan asked suspiciously.

"Does this still need to be asked? Naturally, it's to send him off for a political marriage!"
