Chapter 364: Divine Biological Entity

On the Cloud Carriage, level 8 Little Tough was incomparably excited.

"Many thanks, Lord Manager."

In his eyes, Lord Manager was definitely a Beast Master, and a very powerful Beast Master at that.

The cultivation techniques he improved were absolutely priceless to natives of their Canghai World.

"It is nothing," Lin Chao said, then continued, "Upon arriving at the Royal Capital, we must act with low profiles. Strong individuals gather here, and perhaps the gaze of gods may fall upon us."

"Don't worry, we will just stay by Lord Manager's side."

"With Lord Manager here, what do gods matter?"

The players were extremely confident.

After all, this was just a game; what was there to fear?

Of course, they also understood that seeking death for no reason was not good; after all, having to log off for two days was too painful, and during these two days, they could not play the game, nor could they kill monsters to level up.

The Cloud Carriage flew rapidly, a group of players in the Heavenly Vault, admiring the scenery.

Meanwhile, inside the Royal Capital.

In a courtyard, a young boy's voice sounded: "Mother, it isn't dawn yet; Cousin Lin probably hasn't arrived."

Before the boy was a tall young woman wearing a gold-threaded long dress; time had left traces on her face, but one could tell she had been a beauty in her youth.

"Charlie, do not be lazy." There was some anger in the young woman's eyes.

Charlie was immediately a bit fearful: "Alright, Mother, I will prepare to head out now."

"Mm." A trace of a gratified smile appeared in the young woman's eyes; she left the room and walked into the main house.

An old woman wearing simple clothes stood to the side, walking with a limp.

Seeing the old woman, a trace of gentleness flashed in the young woman's eyes: "Lis, Lin is coming back; remember to go to the vegetable market and buy some fresh vegetables. Oh, and buy a Longzhou roast goose; this dish has been quite popular lately."

"Very well, Mistress," the old woman said with a chuckle.

The young woman untied a silk pouch, took out ten Gold coins from inside, and handed them to the old woman.

The silk pouch was empty, with only a few Gold coins left; there was some worry in the young woman's eyes, but thinking of Prince Lin returning, the worry in her eyes turned into anticipation.

Lin Chao was her younger sister's son.

Her family was very ordinary; when she was young, her sister entered the palace to become a palace maid to subsidize the household.

She also became a professional.

Her wish was to become a High-level Professional and then bring a good life to her family.

Unfortunately, later her sister was favored by the King and gave birth to a prince, so this thought of hers had to be abandoned.

Moreover, her sister passed away from weak health and illness within three months after giving birth to Lin Chao.

Her longing and affection for her sister were pinned on Lin Chao.

Unfortunately, Lin Chao was a prince, so the opportunities for her to meet Lin Chao were not many.

And at this time, in the corner of the courtyard, Charlie was wearing a black uniform: "Grandma Lis, Mother asked you to buy a Longzhou roast goose?

My mother is truly biased; I had been nagging to eat it a month ago, and Mother never bought it for me.

This time, my cousin is back, and she bought it immediately."

Lis chuckled and said: "Charlie, although your cousin is a noble prince, he... is a bitter person after all. He is an ignored prince of the Saya Royal Family; how could his life... be as comfortable and pleasant as yours?

Besides, the Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline was inherited by you, not your cousin."

Hearing this, the emotion Charlie felt just now dissipated.

For that cousin he had only met a few times, Charlie felt sympathy.

Although Charlie's family looked very ordinary, in reality, their ancestors carried the Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline.

And Charlie had activated the Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline.

This meant that he was qualified to obtain the class transfer for Ice Hidden Dragon Warlock.

If things went smoothly, he had the hope of becoming a Legendary-level professional.

A Legendary, even placed in the Saya Kingdom, could be considered truly top-tier strength.

If he made a huge contribution to the kingdom, he could even be titled a Marquis, or even a Duke.

It could be said that if no major problems occurred, Charlie's future would be smooth sailing and bright.

Looking at Lin Chao, he might just be an ignored prince living in a small border town, perhaps one day dying in palace infighting.

After all, he was not valued, and his mother's family's power was not strong; he was almost an abandoned pawn.

"So Charlie, the responsibility on you is not light; you cannot be as playful as before." Lis's face was full of doting expressions.

After waiting for so many years, they finally waited for the Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline to return to the world.

"Grandma Lis, don't worry, I will work hard to cultivate and revitalize the family!" A firm expression appeared on Charlie's youthful face.

"Aunt Winnie, long time no see."

Lin Chao stepped down from the Cloud Carriage, looking at the two figures in the distance, a touch of gentleness appearing in his eyes.

"Lin, you're back." Winnie walked over with large strides, very excited.

Back then, the family was very poor and could not support two professionals.

Her sister took the initiative to enter the palace as a palace maid to provide resources for her development.

For her sister, she was very moved and also very guilty.

"Lin, you've traveled a long way, you must be tired. Come home with me quickly; I have prepared a big meal." Aunt Winnie looked at Lin Chao a few times, noticed the few strange men behind Lin Chao, and suddenly asked, "Did Shivana not come along?"

Shivana was Lin Chao's Guardian Knight; under normal circumstances, she would follow by Lin Chao's side to protect Lin Chao's safety.

Winnie knew that Shivana was a High-level Professional with powerful strength.

With Shivana following by Lin Chao's side, she could also be at ease.

She felt a bit worried; could something have happened?

Could it be... that Shivana did not fancy Prince Lin and left?

"Shivana is currently the City Lord of Koya City, managing Koya City, so she cannot get away for the moment.

Nowadays, I have others by my side," Lin Chao said, gesturing toward Heiniu and the others.

The status of Heiniu and the others now was to serve him.

Winnie's attention was clearly drawn by Lin Chao's words.

"Shivana became the City Lord?"

Winnie was very surprised.

Although Koya City was Lin Chao's fief.

But in reality, given Lin Chao's influence in the Royal Capital, those nobles in Koya City would not acknowledge Lin Chao at all.

"The City Lord of Koya City colluded with demons and caused chaos in the city, so Shivana Slayed them, and thus Shivana became the City Lord of Koya City," Lin Chao said lightly.

Beside him, Winnie was slightly stunned.

As a veteran professional, she understood that the information revealed in these few sentences from Lin Chao was absolutely significant, and things were not as simple as she had imagined.

"Cousin Lin is truly amazing," Charlie said from the side, a hint of envy in his eyes.

After all, controlling a city was a very impressive thing for him right now.

Lin Chao also looked at his cousin: "Charlie, you will be even more amazing in the future."

Charlie thought for a moment and also revealed an excited expression.

That's right, he possessed the Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline and would become a Legendary figure in the future!

Under Winnie's guidance, the group boarded a carriage and headed toward Winnie's courtyard.

The family was happy and harmonious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Lin Chao followed his aunt to her home, and Heiniu, Ye Di, and the others were also arranged in the courtyard.

The courtyard was large, counting as a small manor.

However, there were not many servants inside, only five.

Such a life already exceeded that of over ninety percent of the people in the Saya Kingdom.

Of course, in the Royal Capital, in front of those true power-holders, such a life could be considered destitute.

After breakfast, Charlie returned to his room, looking tired at this moment.

At this time, a figure quietly appeared behind him.

"Grandma Lis," Charlie called out affectionately upon seeing the person.

As someone who had activated the Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline, it had always been Grandma Lis protecting and teaching him.

"Now that your cousin is staying at home, you must be low-key and not expose the matter of your Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline, do you understand?" Lis instructed with a grave expression.

"I understand, Grandma Lis.

Our Ice Hidden Dragon Bloodline has always been regarded as an enemy by the Flame Temple.

I will not expose it before I have grown up," Charlie was very clear about these matters and also knew the importance of this affair.

"From what I have heard, the Third Prince is very close to the Flame Temple.

And the Third Prince is on very bad terms with your cousin, so I am afraid that people from the Flame Temple might spy on this place.

Therefore, for these days, you must not cultivate, do you understand?" Lis instructed again.

"People from the Flame Temple have come to Wangcheng?" Charlie also felt the danger.

"Just stay at ease and don't expose your identity.

I hope the people who came from the Flame Temple this time are not my old acquaintances," Lis said, her words carrying a hint of worry.

If there were acquaintances in the Flame Temple, it might bring danger to Charlie.

"Okay," Charlie nodded vigorously, as he also knew the seriousness of the situation.

Lin Chao stayed in the courtyard and did not go out.

For him, there was nothing worth visiting in the entire Wangcheng.

Perhaps only this small residence could leave him with a few warm memories.

However, in the afternoon, he still told Aunt Winnie and left the residence.

He prepared to go out to purchase some things.

There were many things that could not be bought in Koya City, but the Royal Capital was different.

Heiniu, Ye Di, and the others naturally chose to follow Lin Chao to look around outside.

"Wangcheng is indeed different; it looks much more prosperous than Koya City," Ye Di exclaimed from the side.

Level 8 Little Tough said: "The Iron Stone City we are building will definitely be more prosperous than Wangcheng in the future."

As he spoke, his face was full of pride.

Among the ten thousand players who had arrived, talents in various fields had actually already accumulated.

There were people in municipal administration, architecture, urban planning, and other aspects.

With Hong Ying leading those people and combining some talents from Koya City to start building the city, the city they built would definitely not be bad.

"Wangcheng is protected by gods, so Iron Stone City cannot compare for the time being," Lin Chao said from the side.

Wangcheng was the base of the Song Church, and the gaze of the Song God would occasionally fall upon this city.

Such a city was naturally incomparable to an Ordinary city.

"They are just gods; with so many of us players, there will always be those who become gods!" Ye Di was full of confidence.

No matter how strong the gods were, they were just NPCs, while he was a player with endless potential.

Heiniu's gaze also became resolute; he, too, wanted to become a god!

Only in this way could he go into the Abyss, rescue Xiaomeng, and rescue Norma.

Ahead, a large building appeared in everyone's line of sight; the building had five floors and was constructed quite magnificently.

This building was the Huiteng Chamber of Commerce's stronghold in Wangcheng, and it could be counted as one of the largest chambers of commerce in Wangcheng.

"My lords, what would you like to buy?"

Just as Lin Chao entered, a young and beautiful woman walked over to greet him.

The woman was dressed in cool clothing, wearing a long blue dress with a slit in it; the slit was positioned perfectly, allowing a glimpse of her fair, tender thighs.

Things like this were very common.

Lin Chao had been to the Huiteng Chamber of Commerce before.

There were beautiful maids like this here, as well as handsome male attendants, who respectively served female and male adventurers.

"Do you have any Divine Creatures here?" Lin Chao spoke, stating his purpose.

At present, he was still at the Legendary level.

However, he was already considering the matter of apotheosis.

To achieve apotheosis, one must first possess Divine Power and a divine office.

And Divine Creatures might contain a bit of Divine Power, and some even possessed a divine office.

Of course, ordinary people could not extract Divine Power and divine offices from Divine Creatures; they could only observe and then comprehend them.

But players perhaps did not have this limitation, which was why Lin Chao chose to come here to purchase a Divine Creature.

Hearing Lin Chao's words, the woman was slightly surprised: "My lord, Divine Creatures... are of high value; to purchase one, you need to go to the Fifth Layer."

The chamber of commerce had five floors in total.

The higher the floor, the higher the value of the items.

However, for the highest, the Fifth Layer, it was not just about having money; one needed to be a member of the chamber of commerce.

This was also to avoid some unnecessary incidents from occurring.

"This." Lin Chao took out the Gold card that Kainsi had given him.

The young maid's expression changed slightly again, and the look she gave Lin Chao was even more fawning and envious.

A Gold card.

It required spending over one hundred thousand Gold coins at the Huiteng Chamber of Commerce.

This young man was definitely a big spender.

The young maid brought Lin Chao to the Fifth Layer.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over with a kind smile on his face: "This honored guest, do you wish to buy a Divine Creature?"

Lin Chao nodded.

"Divine Creatures are powerful and, moreover, particularly troublesome.

Currently, our Huiteng Chamber of Commerce in Wangcheng only has one Divine Creature.

As for the price, it is a bit expensive..."

Ordinary Divine Creatures were at least High-Grade ferocious beasts.

Some were even Legendary-level ferocious beasts.

These Divine Creatures had Divinity within their bodies, making them much more powerful and much more troublesome than the average High-level Professional.

"How many Gold coins?" Lin Chao did not care about Gold coins.

"The Divine Creature we currently have detained at the Huiteng Chamber of Commerce is named the Nine-Headed Dog; it escaped from the Abyss and has strength comparable to a High-level Professional.

The price... is seventeen thousand Gold coins." The middle-aged man quoted the price.

"Deal." Lin Chao did not hesitate at all.

Shizi thousand Gold coins seemed very expensive, but to Lin Chao, money was merely an external possession; only strength was the foundation for survival.

"By the way, do you have a map here, a map that records the locations of Divine Creatures?" Lin Chao continued to ask.

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned; he could tell that the mysterious man before him was very interested in Divine Creatures.

He could not discern the other party's strength, but the few people acting as servants beside him all had quite good strength, likely High-level Professionals.

"Yes, I have a map that records the locations of seventeen Divine Creatures," the middle-aged man replied hurriedly.

This map was his own private property and he had not yet prepared to hand it over to the chamber of commerce.

"How many Gold coins?"

"Fifty thousand Gold coins."
