Chapter 65: Change of Mindset
Regardless of the commotion outside, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun returned to Baron Manor after leaving, heading straight to their courtyard. They first took out their Realm Master token and the Guest Elder Order from Azure Pavilion.
The Realm Master token was filled with excited congratulations, but Lian Yun felt a slight disappointment upon not finding the name 'Lian Yun' among them. He said nothing more and simply asked Ma Wenlong to send him some Black Spirit Coins and Gray Spirit Coins.
As for the Guest Elder Order from Azure Pavilion, it contained Meng Yixuan's congratulations: "Congratulations, Yun Di, on receiving the imperial title! Hmm! It seems that Yun Di holds a noble status and no longer has time to sit idly with me."
A sense of unspoken grievance welled up within Lian Yun, leaving him feeling quite helpless.
There was also a rare message from Lan Ruoxuan: "Keep up the good work; the Qin Emperor is merely granting a count title."
This indicated that Lian Yun was just one rank away from being on par with the Qin Emperor.
Next came the words from the general.
"What on earth did this kid eat to grow up? Is he really this monstrous? He actually passed the test! No, it should be credited to that Xiao Jun. Hmph! Hahahaha, the old man is fuming!"
"Of course I did it! My brother can achieve anything he sets his mind to, hehe!"
"But, hmph! How can you, as a younger brother, always overshadow your elder brother? Just wait for me!"
The tone at the end was filled with fighting spirit.
Lian Yun smiled knowingly and then took out the Offering Token from Xianjian Sect but didn’t look at it right away.
After Ma Wenlong delivered a large amount of Black Spirit Coins and Gray Spirit Coins, Lian Yun began to absorb them continuously. After some time, he checked the Offering Token again.
When he received news from Yao Yun'er, he headed to the central Teleportation Array.
Upon arrival, Yao Yun'er greeted him with a smile and handed over a Spatial Bag. "Master, we can't do much about personal space in our Sect, but we managed to find this Spatial Bag for Brother Yun."
After all, not long ago, Elder Mei had also seen that the Yaochi Water Lian Yun took out came from his personal space and Spatial Bag, so this was not surprising.
Lian Yun smiled lightly and accepted the Spatial Bag.
At that moment, Yao Yun'er continued, "Brother Yun, could you take my senior brother out to have some fun when you have time in the future?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Lian Yun asked, a bit puzzled.
"Hehe, after Yooner traveled with you once, he seems to have gained a bit more humanity. So Yooner thinks that if he interacts with you more, he might become more cheerful," she explained.
"Well then, let Brother Jun stay at Azure Pavilion for a while. I should be around there for some time," Lian Yun suggested.
"Uh~~ that's useless. Yooner has suggested that senior brother come find Brother Yun, but it seems like if you don't invite him, he just doesn't want to move," Yao Yun'er said, spreading her hands in exasperation.
Lian Yun found it somewhat amusing; Xiao Jun was indeed a bit stubborn. However, he chuckled and said, "Then let’s see if we can find a more challenging Dungeon. When I have time, I'll go find Brother Jun and we can tackle it together."
"Uh~~ fine~~" Yao Yun'er replied, exasperated as she spread her hands again.
Her true intention was to have Lian Yun take Xiao Jun out for fun, so even she had no objections. She hadn’t expected Lian Yun to think of battling instead.
Without exchanging too many words, the two parted ways. After returning to his courtyard, Lian Yun focused entirely on absorption.
The reason he absorbed Black Spirit Coins and Gray Spirit Coins was to obtain the Soul Material within them. As Lian Yun continued to absorb them, the Spiritual Liquid Pool in his Dantian grew larger and deeper. It wasn't until the spiritual liquid occupied half the space that it seemed to reach a limit and could not increase further.
Lian Yun didn’t mind this; he tossed his original one cubic Spatial Bag into the newly acquired one hundred cubic Spatial Bag and headed toward the city lord's mansion.
In the past, Lian Yun would have reserved the one cubic Spatial Bag for Ma Wenlong and others to use. However, now he didn’t think of that at all. Partly because his personality had become much more laid-back and he no longer overthought things, and partly because he subconsciously believed it was meant for his clone to use when acting alone.
Upon meeting again, Liston’s eyes lit up before he smiled gently and said, "Your friend’s realm has greatly improved; congratulations! I didn't expect you to truly clear the Yaochi Dungeon. Just as the Emperor said, you are indeed unparalleled!"
"Senior is too kind. Perhaps my ability to clear it this time is indeed due to the Emperor's special favor!" Lian Yun replied humbly.
If Dancing with Demons had been learned after obtaining his clone, Lian Yun might not have thought this way. However, since he had actually learned Demonic Dance of the Harp before acquiring the clone, he couldn’t help but ponder this aspect.
Li Si chuckled but didn’t say much more. Once Lian Yun understood his intentions, Li Si seemed almost robotic as he formally presented Lian Yun with the rewards for clearing the Dungeon: thirty thousand honor points, thirty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins, and three hundred Mental Potions.
Just the thirty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins alone could intimidate many Peak Monarchs; not to mention there were also three hundred bottles of Mental Potions.
Once Li Si regained his composure, he smiled and asked, "What are your plans next? Are you considering taking on a war mission?"
"There's no rush. I'll wait until I'm fully prepared," Lian Yun said with a faint smile, his expression calm and composed.
In the past, Lian Yun would have eagerly awaited Li Si to assign him a war mission, but now he truly felt no urgency.
Previously, Lian Yun had always wanted his avatar to achieve rankings in some low-level Dungeons to earn those few dozen or hundred honor rewards, but now he had no such thoughts.
The former Lian Yun lacked a certain grandeur, while now he exuded an air of confidence and dignity.
Li Si was very pleased with Lian Yun's decision and nodded in approval. However, he handed Lian Yun a letter of recommendation addressed to the Han Dan City Lord's Mansion to meet Han Feizi. From him, Lian Yun could receive a special mission, and upon completion, he could also take on Monarch-level tasks.
Historical records indicate that Li Si was jealous of Han Feizi's talent and conspired with others to harm him under the pretext that as a foreigner, Han Feizi would not be loyal to the Qin state. Yet, there are also accounts suggesting that he admired Han Feizi's abilities and wanted to protect him. Unfortunately, the Emperor insisted on his execution, leading to Han Feizi's tragic fate.
History is difficult to verify, but Li Si himself was also a foreigner who came to Qin. Thus, his claim that foreigners would not be loyal to Qin implicitly included himself. Given that it seems he had a good relationship with Han Feizi, the latter possibility holds considerable weight.
The reason Li Si gave Lian Yun this letter of recommendation was that Lian Yun's current strength had surpassed what could be satisfied by king-level missions; only Sovereign Quests would present a true challenge.
Of course, if it were an avatar acting independently, that would be a different matter.
