Chapter 701: Early Departure

Tuoba Qi laughed and said, "With your current strength, going to Zhongyang Dalu would let you do nothing. You'd be better off cultivating while you rush there."

Moreover, a year or more of time is nothing at all. Even this transmission of mine could save that time.

Tuoba Qi transmitted Ye Liuyun across domains, indeed saving him a lot of time.

"All right, I'll go to Lingxiao Sect to study for a while. But I'll still have to trouble the City Lord to help recommend me!"

Ye Liuyun rose again and thanked Tuoba Qi.

"Don't be polite. I'll recommend you over there, and they'll still have to thank me! With your talent, once you get there, those old fellows will be fighting over you!"

Tuoba Qi smiled, had someone fetch paper and brush, and wrote a letter of recommendation.

"Take this letter and find Elder Song Yan. That guy is my close friend; he'll protect your safety and arrange your entry into the academy."

Ye Liuyun put the letter away, then thanked again: "City Lord's great kindness, Ye Liuyun will keep it in mind; one day, I will surely repay it!" m.

Tuoba Qi's help to Ye Liuyun is already considerable.

Given Tuoba Qi's status, taking such care of a reserve member is already rare; just letting him use the teleportation array makes him deeply grateful.

Now he also gave him an energy crystal ball to help raise his realm, and recommended him to an academy. These kindnesses, Ye Liuyun feels sincere gratitude.

What he said also came from the heart, not mere empty words.

"Hahaha, having this intention makes me happy. This is just a trivial effort; you don't need to repay me!" Tuoba Qi was also very satisfied with Ye Liuyun's words.

"Hurry up and prepare; try to advance the time as much as possible. My side will have the teleportation array ready in a day, and you can leave anytime."

"All right, then we'll take our leave for now. Once I confirm the time, I'll come notify the City Lord."

Ye Liuyun also immediately rose and took his leave.

"Just cultivate well; no need to specially come in person. Have someone send a word. I don't care for all those formalities." Tuoba Qi instructed.

"Good! I will faithfully follow the City Lord's orders!"

After Ye Liuyun bade farewell to Tuoba Qi, he immediately led everyone to find Du Yan to confirm the departure time.

When they arrived, Du Yan directly told Ye Liuyun: "The earliest is four days. But it will cost a lot more money!"

"Spending a bit more money is fine; just try to save time! Can you confirm it now? If you can, I'll confirm the transmission time with the City Lord." Ye Liuyun again confirmed with him.

"I've already confirmed it repeatedly! It's four days from now, no problem!"

"All right!" Ye Liuyun then immediately troubled Du Yan to notify the City Lord. He then led everyone back to the inn and entered the Xuan Kong Shi to begin cultivating.

With the energy crystal stone given by Tuoba Qi, he could now break through his realm.

After fifty consecutive battles, his foundation became especially solid, so breaking through would not destabilize his realm.

Inside the Xuan Kong Shi there were forty days, enough for him to break through.

As soon as Ye Liuyun entered the Xuan Kong Shi, he immediately took out that energy ball and began absorbing it.

The energy ball Tuoba Qi gave him this time, although small in appearance, contained extremely pure energy; Ye Liuyun almost without waste converted it into his own true essence.

At the same time, he continually infused Heaven and Earth Power into his true essence.

Ye Liuyun's bloodline, after using the blood of the Food Star Beast, showed obvious improvement, so his talent advanced another step; his realm breakthrough was also somewhat faster than he had expected.

In less than three days, his realm smoothly broke through to the fourth level of Yin and Yang.

In the following time, he continually consolidated his realm and familiarized himself with the power of the fourth level of Yin and Yang.

He also spent more than ten days expanding the space world he had built.

Now his space world can already accommodate residents.

Although compared to an ordinary space secret realm it's still pitifully small, he has gradually mastered the method of expanding his space world, and will do so ever faster in the future.

The remaining time, he kept releasing his soul to comprehend Heaven and Earth Power.

In short, during these forty days he wasted not a moment, and his strength increased by a great deal.

When Ye Liuyun emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi, his aura made Du Yan feel somewhat oppressed.

The ship merchant Wu Lao Da that Du Yan found did not disappoint Du Yan's trust in him.

These days, from morning to night without rest, he finally produced the two Level 3 Battleships they needed, with all supporting spare parts ready.

They finished more than three days earlier than they had anticipated before entering Yi Cheng, and even a day earlier than the date agreed with the City Lord.

For this, Ye Liuyun also paid Wu Lao Da some extra fees to show his gratitude.

The others around Ye Liuyun were all collected by him into his Storage Ring, preparing for departure.

Du Yan had secured the ship, then led all the crew, following Ye Liuyun, to the City Lord's mansion.

City Lord Tuoba Qi also did not waste time, directly having someone bring Ye Liuyun and the others to the teleportation array to meet them there.

What surprised Ye Liuyun was that shortly after they arrived, more people kept coming one after another, including two he knew: Qu Xu Feng and Qiu Tian Yang.

"Are these people also being transmitted together?" Ye Liuyun asked City Lord Tuoba Qi. Ye Liuyun had thought only they themselves would be transmitted.

"They're hitching a ride on your coattails! Anyway, we need to open the teleportation array once, so I announced in advance: two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones per person, so we can still recoup some costs." Tuoba Qi laughed.

"I'm afraid the cost of opening a teleportation array won't be low either!"

Ye Liuyun thought, and hurriedly thanked the City Lord: "This time really made the City Lord spend a lot!"

Tuoba Qi smiled: "Wealth is external; you needn't worry about it. I can only send you to Yi Cheng, the nearest stop to Lingxiao Sect; from there to the sect there's still a short stretch. But that road is peaceful, so you should reach it smoothly."

After chatting a while and waiting for another ten or so people, they all stepped onto the transmission platform together.

Qu Xu Feng and Qiu Tian Yang, with some reluctance, gave Ye Liuyun a simple greeting.

The two of them had previously looked down on Ye Liuyun, and now they felt embarrassed to go up and fawn over him.

Ye Liuyun also understood their feelings, did not make things difficult, smiled and greeted them, and even invited them to board his warship to go together to Lingxiao Sect.

Qiu Tian Yang then said: "I suppose it's because you asked the City Lord to open the teleportation array? We're just hitching a ride; otherwise, to go back we'd have to sail for at least a year!"

"You're going to Lingxiao Sect?" Qu Xu Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.
