Chapter 92: Successful Yinwalk

The proxy training lasted a full four days, and only stopped after the Yinxiang Incense had finished yin‑drying, while La Tiao and the Tai Sui's Attributes were completely refreshed.

【Lv. 12 La Tiao (Bloodline: 2%), Essence: 35+2, Qi: 13+1, Divine: 10.5.】

【Lv. 12 Yin Blood Tai Sui, Essence: 31, Qi: 13, Divine: 10.5.】

The Yin Blood Tai Sui has no major issues; all its Attributes are basically on par with native creatures, but La Tiao truly gave Chen Shicheng a big surprise.

From the Attributes it is clear that both little ones develop in the body‑refining direction, yet compared with the Tai Sui's mediocrity, La Tiao is a natural prodigy; even without the bloodline bonus, its Essence Attribute exceeds what I had after taking an Elixir by a little.

If the two points of Attribute from the bloodline bonus are added, purely in physical quality, Chen Shicheng still cannot match such a tiny La Tiao.

Moreover, it is all concentrated essence; despite La Tiao lacking offensive Skills, its tiny claws can tear apart tigers and leopards, and forest monsters have virtually no opponent that can match it.

Its speed is even more exaggerated; when it sprints at full speed, Chen Shicheng's naked eye cannot keep up, and he can only track it with Divine Perception.

Unfortunately, as La Tiao's level rises, the bloodline concentration gained from devouring beast corpses gradually diminishes, eventually ceasing growth altogether and remaining at 2%.

Nevertheless, the power increase from leveling also lets the two little ones damage wandering souls, and on the last day Chen Shicheng took them into the underground fissure and raised them to level 12.

But just as he wanted to keep leveling so the two little ones would match his own level, Hui Siye sent word that the Yinxiang Incense had successfully completed yin‑drying, so Chen Shicheng had no choice but to bring them back to the inn.

"Whether you can enjoy fragrant food and spicy snacks from now on is up to you!"

As soon as Chen Shicheng returned to the inn, he immediately took out a bowl of Chen rice and placed the pre‑commissioned Yánluó Statue in front of him.

Then, with a stern expression, he took out a successfully crafted Yinxiang Incense, lit it and inserted it, and loudly recited, "First spray, heaven opens; second spray, earth cracks; third spray, humans wounded; fourth spray, ghosts eradicated! I, in haste, obey the command of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord!"

As the incantation finished, a soul‑freezing black mist materialized out of nowhere, enveloped Chen Shicheng, churned for a moment, and then carried him away, vanishing from the spot.

It was no different from when Hui Siye used the Five Ghosts Transport; Chen Shicheng only felt darkness before his eyes and a strong sense of falling, and before he could recover, he was already on a barren stretch of land.

The sky was filled with dense yin clouds that blocked the heavens and the sun; not a single ray of sunlight could be seen, or rather, there was no sun at all.

A mist formed from condensed surrounding yin qi swirled, appearing visible yet unreal; if it weren't for the faint white vapors of the Yinxiang Incense drifting around him, Chen Shicheng feared he would be instantly corroded by yin qi and ascend to the heavens on the spot.

Upon entering the legendary Netherworld for the first time, Chen Shicheng did not immediately teleport back, but instead surveyed his surroundings.

Where his eyes could reach, the ground was all cracked, desiccated mud, with occasional withered plants, all in ruin, their interlaced branches resembling ferocious demons.

Wuwuwu.

An unseen yin wind brushed the broken branches, emitting a mournful wailing sound that made the spirit Hui Siye shudder, "What are you standing around for? Hurry back, do you plan to spend the New Year here?"

"Oh? Ah! Heading back immediately."

Chen Shicheng snapped awake like from a dream and quickly whispered in his mind, "I want to leave."

Immediately, a few faint red dots appeared in his mind; after his Divine Perception touched them, scenes of City God Temples materialized before his eyes, and a flash of insight suddenly rose in his heart.

By arbitrarily selecting one, he could teleport out of the Netherworld and appear in any of those City God Temples.

Of course, not all red dots are City God Temples; one of them shows the inn where he stays, with the temporarily carved Yánluó Statue neatly placed on the table. Moreover, the number of these City God Temples is few, their distribution limited to at most an area of one county, which also includes the ruined temple he first entered when he started the game.

"What a pity, the material grade used for Yinxiang Incense is too low, so its teleport range isn't large."

To verify the authenticity of the teleport, he did not choose the inn's red dot, but selected the farthest birthplace.

As his Divine Perception confirmed the choice, an immensely strong suction materialized out of nowhere, and Chen Shicheng spun as a black speck pulled him in, vanishing onto the desolate land of the Netherworld.

Thump.

In the empty ruined temple, Chen Shicheng materialized out of thin air, falling face‑down onto the altar, the rising dust leaving him looking dusty and grimy.

Peh! Peh! Peh!

Chen Shicheng spat out the dust, turned his head to look around, and the familiar furnishings made his mouth curl upward, eventually bursting into a wild laugh.

It worked!

Now it's completely worked! The materials used now are all gathered by ordinary people in a very short time, so the teleport distance is still tiny, covering at most an area of one county.

But if some aged spirit materials are used, Yinxiang Incense could definitely cover a prefecture, a commandery, even a province, and covering the entire Dayu Dynasty territory is not a fantasy.

However, that quality of Yinxiang Incense likely cannot be produced in large numbers, and can only be used for emergencies.

Shaking his head, Chen Shicheng left the ruined temple, glanced at the sun's position in the sky, estimated the time, and then proceeded at full speed following the direction of his first trek.

Unlike the several hours the first walk took, this time his strength surged, and with the Eight‑Step Chase Cicada skill that excels at long‑range sprints, it took him less than ten minutes to reach the city gate.

Seeing the bustling pedestrians, Chen Shicheng made his familiar way to the Rolling Cloud Tower.

"Hey hey, isn't this Young Master Chen? Long time no see, the ladies have missed you to death," the sharp‑eyed attendant shouted before Chen Shicheng could enter, eagerly pulling him inside.

"Ladies, the client has arrived, the Chen you've been longing for is here!"

Immediately, flocks of chirping, swarming maidens rushed forward, grabbing his hand here, pulling his arm there; the sheer enthusiasm gave Chen Shicheng a feeling of coming home.

But thinking that he still needed to log off and check the forum, he could only painfully decline the company of the beauties.

"The gold I left last time should still be usable, right?" he asked the blue‑clothed attendant who had been pushed outside.

"Of course, you haven't stayed in the tower during this period, so that gold has been recorded on your account, just waiting for you to spend it."

"Alright, book me a private room; I'd like to rest a bit."

"Got it, one VIP on the second floor!"

Guided by the attendant, Chen Shicheng entered an empty private room, closed the doors and windows, and immediately logged off.
