Chapter 9: The Special Favor of the Emperor
Overall, the more than four thousand Golden Treasure Boxes brought Lian Yun wealth valued at least over twenty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins, which was considered a tremendous fortune.
However, this amount was still insignificant to the Peerless Monarch. It should be noted that the Insect Emperor required five hundred Diamond Spirit Coins and nine bottles of Spirit Potion for just three days of continuous combat. For them, twenty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins was merely the cost of ten and a half days of full-force fighting.
Moreover, the New Year Gala was just an event; it could not provide the Peerless Monarch with an entire year's worth of resources all at once. If that were the case, the Peerless Monarch could simply participate in the Year Beast Secret Realm once a year and then do nothing else.
This did not align with Yin Yang City's intention to treat people as laborers.
Nevertheless, twenty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins was already a massive fortune for Lian Yun. Furthermore, he had several hundred thousand silver boxes and wooden boxes worth millions, from which countless White Diamond Coins could be produced, not to mention other items.
After organizing his belongings, Lian Yun did not do anything else but took some time to adjust before starting his second attempt at the Ultimate Ascension to Emperor challenge.
The Year Beast Secret Realm had fully exposed his strength, and he might even be underestimated due to offending the Qin Emperor. Therefore, Lian Yun had to enhance his power as a precaution.
With his Mental Power significantly strengthened, both control and precision improved greatly. As a result, the time taken for Lian Yun's second attempt was surprisingly similar to the first.
In just three attempts, he dispersed his entire realm. Then he advanced even faster; within two attempts, he returned to High-Level Monarch. He did not reach his peak state because he would be completing various tasks in the city for some time and also wanted to experience the changes between High-Level Monarch and peak King's Realm once again.
If time allowed, he would have liked to start from scratch to comprehend it all again. Unfortunately, he did not have enough time. However, while learning Dancing with Demons, he had revisited those memories, so Lian Yun did not dwell on it too much.
Upon waking up, Lian Yun found about ten large backpacks in front of his door, along with a letter and a 'book.'
The book was actually a collection of various mission strategies compiled by Tian Shou, while the letter was left by Ma Wenlong.
In Ma Wenlong's letter, he conveyed that relying too heavily on Lian Yun's gifts might not be beneficial for them. Therefore, he had gathered all the items obtained from opening the Silver Box and Wooden Box and placed them in a Treasury specially established within their residence. He also used his token privileges to request a recording officer.
Organizational members could deposit items into the Treasury to earn points and then exchange those points for whatever they needed.
However, the members of the organization were relatively poor at that moment, so Ma Wenlong provided loans to help them acquire some urgently needed or essential items.
The several large backpacks at the entrance were for Lian Yun's use.
Three bags contained ores, including both premium and Supreme quality. This was because he knew Lian Yun had been studying Forging Technique. Five bags of White Spirit Coins, totaling nearly three million, were given to Lian Yun for emergencies.
Although all the Spirit Coins belonged to Lian Yun, storing them in the warehouse made it inconvenient for him to access them when needed. Therefore, providing Lian Yun with these White Diamond Coins allowed him to use them freely.
Especially after Lian Yun became a Baron, transactions with the local residents in the city often did not require presenting physical Spirit Coins; many transactions could be deducted directly from his personal warehouse, which was much more convenient.
Additionally, there were two bags filled with scrolls and blueprints. For example, recovery scrolls could quickly restore stamina, healing scrolls could accelerate wound healing, and spirit recovery formations could rapidly replenish spiritual energy. There were also energy formations for mental recovery and many other scrolls with extraordinary supportive effects.
Lian Yun accepted all ten backpacks, but he found the contents of the remaining three backpacks somewhat amusing and perplexing.
These were mission items that could be directly submitted to certain locals for rewards.
At the end of the letter, Ma Wenlong also put forward three requests. The first was to formally establish a guild so that the members of Cloud Realm would have a true sense of belonging. Once the guild was established, there would be a guild emblem; members wearing this emblem could communicate with each other conveniently, making it essentially the only means of communication within Yin Yang City.
Next, he requested that Lian Yun go to see the city lord Li Si to accept an official mission. Completing this mission would allow him to appoint a mission officer at his residence, enabling Cloud Realm members to receive missions and earn higher rewards upon completion.
The third request involved a Dungeon secret realm mission. Upon completion, there would be an exclusive Dungeon available for organization members to participate in as a group. This exclusive Dungeon would have several difficulty levels and offer substantial rewards upon clearing it. This mission only required Lian Yun to accept it; organization members could complete it on his behalf.
All three requests held significant importance, and Lian Yun naturally would not refuse. However, after placing the ten backpacks into the warehouse, he decided to make a trip to Chang'an City first.
He delivered the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Guqin and Jade Flute to Rong Mama inside the gate for her to pass on to Meng Yixuan before leaving. Then he headed to Treasure Alliance to find Qian Duoduo.
He returned the Treasure Mirror along with eight hundred Diamond Spirit Coins while asking him to help purchase a Soul Forge and relay a message requesting that Treasure Alliance in Luo Xianyang City collect various mission items that offered Honor Points as rewards.
To facilitate this, Lian Yun directly took out five hundred Diamond Spirit Coins along with a deposit of four hundred thousand White Spirit Coins.
For the current Lian Yun, Qian Duoduo was certainly unwilling to accept a deposit. However, since he was merely a branch Keeper and Lian Yun showed genuine sincerity, he accepted four hundred thousand White Spirit Coins but did not take any Diamond Spirit Coins.
Thus, Lian Yun apologized and returned to Xianyang City, heading directly to the Lord's Mansion.
Although Lian Yun held the title of Baron, he did not have the right to force his way into the Lord's Mansion. However, he received special treatment from Li Si, allowing him to skip the queue and bypass any announcements.
Upon meeting Li Si, Lian Yun took out the Three Golden Hairs and asked, "May I ask if you know what this is?"
Li Si was greatly surprised at first but then shook his head with a smile, feeling somewhat relieved as he said, "If outsiders were to learn of this item, ninety-nine percent of the Monarchs in Yin Yang City would hunt you down."
Lian Yun was instantly taken aback and instinctively put away the Three Golden Hairs, looking at Li Si with a puzzled expression.
However, Li Si fell into deep thought and after a long while shook his head and said, "Although you have fortuitously obtained this item, and it is even three in number... However~~~"
"Could it be that this is His Majesty's special favor towards you? A particular consideration for Xianyang City?" Li Si suddenly became excited.
Lian Yun, on the other hand, looked utterly bewildered, even feeling a hint of dread.
