CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 96: TRUST ME LIKE BEFORE

"Can you vaguely see a little? Did you snatch Wang Lian’s Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron back?" Chen Guan said in surprise.

"She thought no one knew this secret and placed the Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron in the hotel to monitor the teleportation station 24 hours a day, so she could capture your soul alive. She only left one Second Awakening cultivator to guard it. How hard is it to take it back?"

Xiu Yingmei took out a small bone-like cauldron, just shook it a little, and the Soul King immediately flew towards the bone cauldron. Its body turned into black smoke and poured into the bone cauldron, soon disappearing from sight.

Xiu Yingmei tossed the bone cauldron to Chen Guan: "I didn’t snatch it. I just swapped the Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron with a fake one inside. It’s just a showpiece, useless. As long as Wang Lian doesn’t dig out the Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron for personal use, she won’t discover it’s gone. Take it. Next time you encounter Wang Lian, use her own tactics against her. Surely, it will take her by surprise, and in her distraction, you might even capture her soul."

Chen Guan caught the Myriad Ghosts Cauldron, thinking about the scene Xiu Yingmei described, and couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation.

Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron: Level 10 Unparalleled Secret Treasure.

Summoning Yin and Evil, gathering the fierce qi of ten thousand ghosts, refining the soul and cultivating the spirit to forge the King of Ghosts, soul-snatching and life-taking killings from ten miles away.

King of Ghosts: Level 10 Unparalleled.

Primordial Energy: 24.

Lifebound Talent: Ghost Soul Body.

Secret Technique: Soul Hooking Technique.

Secret Skill: Eye of Life-taking.

Chen Guan found that the King of Ghosts had so much primordial energy, even more than a pet with a 2.0 growth rate, yet it didn’t have a growth rate.

After a brief thought, he understood that the primordial energy of the Soul King was the ghost qi absorbed by the Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron. The more ghost qi it absorbs, the more primordial energy the Soul King has. It’s somewhat different from regular pets.

Unfortunately, due to the level limitation of the Myriad Ghosts Cauldron itself, the Soul King can only reach a maximum of level 10. Now it’s already at the top, further absorption of ghost qi can only store primordial energy, but it can’t be upgraded anymore.

However, in the First Awakening, the Soul King is already considered top-notch combat power. The Ghost Soul Body makes it immune to most physical damage, and ordinary people can’t see it.

The Soul Hooking Technique and Eye of Life-taking can capture souls, bring them into the Myriad Ghosts Cauldron, and inspect the memory information within the souls, which is a very powerful ability.

"How should I thank you?" Chen Guan collected the Myriad Ghosts Soul Refining King Cauldron without being polite.

"No need to thank me. As long as you continue to trust me as before, and follow me wholeheartedly, there will be more benefits for you in the future." Xiu Yingmei said with a smile.

Chen Guan was startled in his heart and quickly realized that Xiu Yingmei truly believed the words he said before.

At that time, Chen Guan was merely using the Spirit of the Cheerleaders to stimulate Xiu Yingmei’s potential, not really trusting her, but now it seems Xiu Yingmei took it seriously.

"I’ve never doubted." Chen Guan said earnestly.

Xiu Yingmei looked at Chen Guan, moved her lips as if she wanted to say something but suddenly heard Chen Guan’s phone ring.

Chen Guan took out his phone and saw it was Ji Nanhong calling, indicating that Ji Nanhong should have returned to the camp.

"Ji Nanhong." Chen Guan looked at Xiu Yingmei.

"Answer it." Xiu Yingmei nodded.

Chen Guan answered the phone, and Ji Nanhong’s voice immediately came from the other end: "Why did you leave the Secret Realm? Did something happen?"

Chen Guan looked at Xiu Yingmei and recounted the story of being trapped in the Ghost King Mountain Range and the conflict with the Shang Family.

Of course, this content was all discussed with Xiu Yingmei beforehand, also mentioning Xiu Yingmei, but only saying that Xiu Yingmei went into the Ghost King Mountain Range to pick up a Secret Spirit Egg, and when she came out, there was a conflict with the Shang Family, who was blocking the Ghost King Mountain Range. Chen Guan just took the opportunity during the chaos to rush out of the Ghost King Mountain Range.

"So many things happened, no wonder I haven’t seen Xiu Yingmei these days. Although you managed to leave the Ghost King Mountain Range this time thanks to Xiu Yingmei, don’t think she’s easy to get along with. Don’t get too close to her, that woman is very scheming." Ji Nanhong said.

Xiu Yingmei kept a blank expression, but it was clear there was a coldness in her eyes.

"I know, I’m not planning to return to Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land. I’ll just rest at home for a few days and then head to the Celestial Court Military Headquarters to try my luck and see if I can pass the test and join the Reserve Team." Chen Guan said.

"That’s good. You rest at home first. I still need to purchase Secret Spirit Eggs here, which will take about half a month. Once I’m done, we’ll go to the Celestial Court Military Headquarters together." Ji Nanhong reminded Chen Guan a few more times, but she was too busy to chat much more. Someone was already urging her to quickly enter the Secret Realm, saying there was a large sale of Secret Spirit Eggs, and she needed to negotiate.

"Ji Nanhong seems fair and just on the surface but is actually deeply scheming. In the future, when you’re around her, don’t be fooled by her appearance." After the call, Xiu Yingmei couldn’t help but say.

"I know." Chen Guan nodded slightly.

Xiu Yingmei wanted to say something else, but her phone rang too. She looked and saw it was also from Ji Nanhong.

"Xiu Yingmei, it’s so busy now. Where have you gone?" Ji Nanhong’s cold voice came from the phone.

"Don’t you not like seeing me? You should be happy not to see me around, what do you want?" Xiu Yingmei said with a pout.

"Do your own work, don’t make excuses, or you can just go back." Ji Nanhong’s voice had no emotion.

"I’m leaving now. We can’t meet in these times. I’ll find you once you’re in the Reserve Team." Xiu Yingmei said helplessly as she left.

Watching Xiu Yingmei disappear into the night, Chen Guan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Now that both Xiu Yingmei and Ji Nanhong were too busy to find him, it suited him well. He planned to take this time to quickly go to the Golden City Mountain Secret Realm and hatch the Secret Spirit Egg.

In Divine Land, there are high-speed trains, airplanes, and other modes of transportation. Not only do ordinary people use these modes of travel, even many high-level cultivators often choose these means for travel.

Even if some high-level pets could be faster than high-speed trains and airplanes, they are still not the first choice for long-distance travel. After all, staying in high-speed motion without any protection for a long time is not a comfortable experience.

The technological development in Divine Land has been very rapid over the last few hundred years, with a two-hundred-year technological gap due to dark turmoil now not only recovered but far surpassing the past.

Led by the Chief Judge, a space development plan involving the Ten Great Families is already seeing results, with multiple space bases constructed. The latest and farthest one has already been built on Mars.

Yet, despite such development, the existence of the Celestial Secret Realm has not been discovered, nor the whereabouts of the Emperor Ancestor and the million-strong iron cavalry.

Outside Divine Land, no signs of life have been found, nor any Secret Realms, as if humanity is the only existence in this starry sky.

The reason the Ten Great Families invested in the space plan is out of fear of the Celestial Secret Realm’s return, aiming to understand where it originates from.

Chen Guan set off for Golden City Mountain overnight, choosing not to use transportation, instead riding Yanzhi through the mountains to avoid leaving clues for anyone to trace.
