Chapter 3391: First Strike

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could see the soldier leader's realm and Divine Soul strength, but he was only at the Taixu Second Realm, and his Divine Soul Power was not as strong as Ye Liuyun's.

He swept the area with his Golden Pupil, seeing a few high‑realm strongmen, but they were all training inside the Cultivation Room and no one came out to supervise them, so he immediately employed his Divine Soul Red Eye, performing a Red Pupil Illusion Technique on the little leader.

This can be counted as Ye Liuyun's first time striking a person after arriving in the Taixu World.

"Give me an overview of the situation here," Ye Liuyun said, easily controlling the little leader and beginning to inquire about the circumstances.

"Yes, Master," the little leader replied, his eyes now regarding Ye Liuyun as his own master.

"My name is Liu An, a guard leader here. The soldiers outside are all my subordinates.

This is the Taixu Clear Spring Pool; Martial Cultivators from the Divine Realm who come to the Taixu domain have relatively weak Physical Bodies, and must soak in the spirit‑liquid brewed here from medicinal herbs to adapt to the environment.

The Taixu Clear Spring Pool belongs to the Western Kingdom. The Taixu World is divided into five sections—East, West, South, North, and Central—but the Central Kingdom is the largest, and the other kingdoms are all subject to the Central Kingdom's control.

The king of the Central Kingdom is called the Taixu God King, while the rulers of the other sections are merely called Prince. The Prince of our Western region bears the surname Chen, and we refer to him as Chen Tianwang.

Martial Cultivators from the Divine Realm are assigned to kingdoms at random, but each kingdom's administration is identical. All Divine Realm Martial Cultivators are considered low‑born in the Taixu World, not even on par with ordinary civilians, and they are all forced to perform hard labor.

Liu An continued to tell Ye Liuyun: "Martial Cultivators from the Divine Realm are assigned to grueling tasks such as mining and menial labor. But Master, don't worry; I'll arrange something for you, make sure you get a good assignment, and perhaps you might even stay in the army as a soldier.

I suggest you first soak in this Energy Pool. Even if your Physical Body can already adapt to the environment, it's best to soak in it, so future adaptation will be faster; even if the body doesn't need it, absorbing some energy to boost your strength is beneficial.

The Energy Pools here contain residual energy left after many have absorbed it; if you wish to soak, I can find you an unused Energy Pool.

Full content.

"It's a good time for me to go find the Administrator here and see if there are any suitable good assignments for you,"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately halted his steps, letting him look for the most energy‑rich Energy Pool for him to soak in.

Liu An promptly led Ye Liuyun to a corner where five Energy Pools lay, their waters a vivid emerald green, clearly richer in energy than the others.

Ye Liuyun again used Soul Search to gather a great deal of information about this place.

His Storage Ring from the Divine Realm was unusable here, so he had Liu An fetch a Storage Ring for him, which was filled with many Storage Rings and some resources he had scavenged, all given to Ye Liuyun. Full content.

The commonly used energy crystal here is a stone that contains golden energy. They call it Taixu Divine Crystal, abbreviated as Divine Crystal. One unit of Primordial Power from the Divine Realm can be exchanged for a hundred medium‑grade Taixu Divine Crystals.

Liu An had tens of millions of medium‑grade Divine Crystals in his possession. Ye Liuyun directly asked him to give him half, and also took a good amount of low‑grade Divine Crystals. As for top‑grade Divine Crystals, Liu An didn't have many and needed to keep some for handling the Administrator here, so Ye Liuyun didn't take any.

After loading everything into his own Space World, Ye Liuyun gave Liu An an empty Storage Ring, making others think he was paying Liu An a fee.

Then he used an illusion to weave a phantom, erasing Liu An's recent memory, making him believe Ye Liuyun had given him a large amount of Primordial Power and bought him off.

This was also to prevent any high‑level cultivators here from using Soul Search and discovering that Ye Liuyun had employed an illusion on Liu An.

After Ye Liuyun dispelled the illusion, Liu An still thought he had received payment and cheerfully went to arrange duties for Ye Liuyun.

The other soldiers, seeing his delighted demeanor and the excellent Energy Pool arranged for Ye Liuyun, assumed he had received many favors, but those soldiers were his subordinates, and no one dared to be jealous of him.

Ye Liuyun calmly sank to the bottom of the Energy Pool, absorbing the spirit‑liquid.

However, the effect of this elixir exceeded his expectations; it had remarkable benefits for body refinement and Divine Core condensation. His Physical Body was instantly improved, the energy in the spirit‑liquid flooding his whole being, making his body tighter.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Divine Core could also absorb the energy in this spirit‑liquid and use it to condense the Divine

Core.

At the pool's bottom, Ye Liuyun quietly released his clone, letting it also refine its Physical Body and Divine Core. The clone had not benefited from the Thunder Tribulation Liquid before, so although it could withstand the pressure of the Taixu World, it was far weaker than Ye Liuyun's main body, making it ideal for absorbing more here.

Two days later, Ye Liuyun could no longer absorb any more. The spirit‑liquid's enhancement to the Physical Body had its limits, and further absorption was useless. If he continued to feed this liquid into his Divine Core, his realm would likely breakthrough soon.

However, the clone kept absorbing, evidently because its overall strength was lower, allowing it to take in more. Liu An came over to check once; although he saw Ye Liuyun's clone, he pretended not to notice.

In his memory, Ye Liuyun had already given him a large amount of Primordial Power and sealed the pool, so regardless of how Ye Liuyun absorbed it, he would not inquire further. Full content.

After another five days, the clone finally stopped absorbing. Its Physical Body had also reached the limit of absorbing this spirit‑liquid, while its Divine Core could be cultivated slowly thereafter.

Ye Liuyun still needed to take advantage of Liu An's ability to arrange a good exit, leaving this troublesome place as soon as possible before trouble multiplies.

He transferred the remaining spirit‑liquid into his own Space World for storage. He actually produced over three thousand units of Primordial Power, paid Liu An, and together they secured three spirit‑liquid pools, bringing all the liquid into his Space World.

Three thousand plus units of Primordial Power alone wouldn't have been enough to purchase so much spirit‑liquid, but Ye Liuyun employed the Red Pupil Illusion Technique. Moreover, he feared giving Liu An too little would make Liu An suspect a loss. In any case, having excess Primordial Power was useless.

Everyone's cultivation resources have already been sufficiently stocked, and from now on they will use Taixu Divine Crystals, which will actually improve cultivation results. That golden concentrated energy has higher quality.

Liu An, on his side, handled the connections, sending a good amount of top‑grade Taixu Divine Crystals to the Administrator here. After Ye Liuyun's upheaval, he had to spend all his savings from years.

The Administrator turned a blind eye, since whoever used them, they were used, and he didn't care.

Liu An also obtained two good assignments from the Administrator: one as a menial disciple of a large Sect, and the other as an ordinary soldier in a frontier town.
