Chapter 6: Temporary Replacement
Because of his full effort, Lian Yun absorbed nearly one percent of the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy in an instant. However, that was as far as it went.
The main reason was that within Lian Yun's Yin-Yang Stage, there was also Supreme Power and the Spiritual Energy from the Diamond Spirit Coin. After accommodating this one percent, he was already at capacity.
Yet even with just one percent, when Lian Yun withdrew, the Insect Emperor couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise, and the cracks all over his body noticeably shrank.
"Hmph! Old fool, how could you..." the General immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
Indeed, the Insect Emperor's groan conveyed an indescribable sense of comfort, yet it sounded quite exaggerated.
However, both Azure Drift and Meng Yixuan were somewhat alarmed by the General's lack of awareness.
The Insect Emperor, on the other hand, paid no mind to it and turned to Lan Ruoxuan, saying, "Lan Ruoxuan may have some strength, but compared to Cheng, there's still a gap!"
"How could I dare to compare myself to the Insect Emperor?"
"Well then! How about today Cheng takes the two kids into the secret realm? You know that if they rank high, it will greatly benefit them."
Lan Ruoxuan instinctively nodded in agreement with the Insect Emperor's words but still felt a bit puzzled.
The Insect Emperor chuckled and said, "No need for more from this brat; his temperament suits me just fine. Since I'm used to being alone with no other options, I'll take those two."
"However..." The Insect Emperor cast a greedy glance at the Nine Bottles of Spirit Potion beside Meng Yixuan.
Before the auction, he had already spent all his Diamond Spirit Coins and naturally had no money left to buy Mental Potions. One of his reasons for wanting to calculate with the General was precisely for those Nine Bottles of Spirit Potion.
However, this was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and he did not show any signs of embarrassment.
Naturally, Lan Ruoxuan did not mind this, as Azure Pavilion was not lacking in wealth. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Let's give the Insect Emperor five hundred Diamond Spirit Coins. After the secret realm, hand them over to the Girl."
Clearly, opening the treasure box could yield Diamond Spirit Coins. Although the chances were slim, with the Insect Emperor's and Peerless Monarch's strength, he would undoubtedly acquire a considerable number of treasure boxes.
As Lan Ruoxuan spoke, Azure Drift had already taken out a bag filled with coins.
"Alright!" The Insect Emperor grabbed the bag and immediately swallowed five coins, looking quite wild. His face flushed but quickly returned to normal. He then waved his hand grandly and said, "Okay, Brat, Brat, follow me."
To be honest, Qian Duoduo was still in a daze. First, he had been brought here by the Insect Emperor in a disoriented state, and now everything that happened was beyond his comprehension; it felt utterly incredible.
However, at this point, even though he had yet to fully process what was happening, he hurriedly reacted: "Congratulations to the Insect Emperor for alleviating some of your suffering."
"Good, today I owe you a favor. If anything comes up with the Treasure Alliance in the future, as long as the price is right, I can at least agree to three things for you."
"I wouldn't dare! Thank you for your great kindness, Insect Emperor." Qian Duoduo stammered a bit. He understood that he had gained tremendous benefits.
It should be noted that without the Half Emperor's involvement, among the entire Huaxia forces within the Four Great Cities, there were only about ten Peerless Monarchs. To request a Peerless Monarch's assistance was not something that could be done merely with status or connections; more often than not, it depended on their mood.
And Peerless Monarchs were not easy to deal with. Even when encountering someone of equal status, they might not be in a good mood; let alone someone far beneath them in strength.
Now it seemed that he had not received any tangible benefits; however, having three opportunities to call upon the Insect Emperor essentially meant he could accomplish three major tasks and gain significant advantages. The benefits brought to the Treasure Alliance would also reflect on Qian Duoduo.
Thus, Qian Duoduo was so excited that his entire body trembled with joy. Yet he did not forget that these benefits came from Lian Yun. He quickly stepped forward and pulled out two bottles of Mental Potion from his pocket and handed them to Lian Yun while saying, "A great kindness cannot go unthanked; this is all I have left. I hope Young Master Bai will not find it lacking."
Although he didn't pay much attention afterward, Lian Yun still sensed that the Mental Potion at the auction was worth at least one hundred Diamond Spirit Coins per bottle.
Previously, Qian Duoduo had only eighty Diamond Spirit Coins, which was all he had. Now, what did a Mental Potion valued at two hundred Diamond Spirit Coins mean to him?
Clearly, Qian Duoduo had the traits of a shrewd merchant. However, Lian Yun didn't mind this at all; instead, he felt a bit embarrassed to accept the two bottles of Mental Potion from him.
"Tenfold repayment, Young Master Bai, you must remember!" Qian Duoduo said with a worried expression.
What he meant was that Lian Yun should remember to repay the eight hundred Diamond Spirit Coins, which could easily offset the cost of these two bottles of Mental Potion. Moreover, Qian Duoduo would still make a significant profit.
With that reassurance, Lian Yun felt somewhat relieved and accepted the two bottles of Mental Potion.
Meanwhile, the Insect Emperor expressed his dissatisfaction: "You brat, with such little strength, what do you need this Mental Potion for? Just give it to me!"
"Shameless! You want a child's things? Aren't you a Monarch? Aren't you supposed to be a senior? Do you still want my brother to learn your legacy? Ah~~"
The general erupted in anger like an irate rooster.
This made the Insect Emperor feel somewhat embarrassed. However, he simply turned and walked out, ignoring the general entirely.
The general proudly held his head high and casually took a bottle of Mental Potion from his younger sibling.
As the leader taking something from his junior, it might not seem particularly commendable. Yet in the general's eyes, this could be seen as Lian Yun's filial piety. Since no one was criticizing her actions, she felt justified in keeping the Mental Potion close to her.
In the room were Qian Duoduo, who was still somewhat dazed, and Azure Drift and others who were shaking their heads in disbelief.
After a while, Qian Duoduo finally regained his composure, but then he looked at Azure Drift and the others with a hint of confusion and asked, "Leaders, what level are those who insist on taking in disciples like Peerless Monarch?"
Azure Drift chuckled softly and replied, "As long as you know that giving Young Master Bai the Supreme Card means you haven't lost out."
"I haven't lost out; I'm already making a huge profit," Qian Duoduo said.
Setting aside how much benefit Lian Yun could bring to the Treasure Alliance in the future, just the three missions accepted from Insect Emperor were already comparable to the benefits brought by giving out the Supreme Card.
Moreover, it seemed that Lian Yun was destined to become a figure like Peerless Monarch.
Meng Yixuan covered her lips and laughed lightly, saying, "In that case, Senior Qian should remember Young Master Bai's kindness."
"Of course, of course." Although he still didn't quite understand what level of prodigy Lian Yun was, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but nod enthusiastically.
In the end, Lan Ruoxuan also nodded and said somewhat blandly, "This can be considered a testament to Qian the Shopkeeper's keen insight."
This made Qian Duoduo swell with pride.
