The third drop, Eternal Source Realm second rank

As soon as Xiluo said this, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her.

Lin Yi's gaze fell on the dark blue crystal box, but he did not immediately take it.

He noticed a hint of surprise flash in Xiluo's eyes as well.

interesting...

Lin Yi thought to himself.

He didn't take the box, but instead gave Xiluo a slight bow, a perfectly timed smile on his lips, "What are your orders, Constant Lord Yi Ta? I dare not accept a reward without having rendered service."

Upon hearing Xiluo Lin Yi's words, Xi Luo's pale golden vertical pupils did not show any disappointment; instead, they narrowed slightly.

She was not surprised by Lin Yi's reaction.

"I don't know either," Xiluo said frankly, holding the dark blue crystal box in her palm and meeting Lin Yi's gaze openly. "My father just told me to give it to you. He said you'd know as soon as you saw it."

It's obvious at a glance...

Since things had come to this point, Lin Yi took the dark blue crystal box from Xiluo's hand and, in front of everyone, extended his index finger and gently pressed it on the pale gold scale-like mark in the center of the box lid.

The three sealing patterns lit up one after another, then silently dissolved.

The lid pops open.

A peculiar fluctuation escaped from the seam of the box.

At that moment, even Kelu's expression changed slightly as he watched the spectacle unfold.

A drop of blood floats inside the box.

It presents an almost unreal gray color, but with nine extremely fine and faint silver lines that extend outward in a perfectly symmetrical spiral shape and converge at the end into an imperceptible point of light.

"Eternal Dark Constant Fusion Beast..."

Lin Yi recognized what it was at a glance.

The Eternal Dark Constant Fusion Beast ranks seventh on the list of exotic beasts.

However, he was not blinded by this generous gift.

No matter how good something is, if it's too hot to handle, you shouldn't touch it.

Therefore, we need to see what Yi Ta 'Constant Lord needs are.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi shifted his gaze from the essence blood to the light spot floating on the other side of the box next to it.

That was an information packet.

Yi Ta said, "It's obvious at a glance," so this information cluster must be the key.

Lin Yi stretched out his finger and gently touched the spot of light.

A deep voice echoed in his mind.

"Lin Constant Ban. This Eternal Dark Constant Fusion Beast Essence Blood was bestowed upon me by the Dao Lord Darkfierce many years ago. Over countless years, only this last drop remains."

"My son and daughter are facing their first real separation from the family's protection, venturing into a completely new place to make a living. If it's just ordinary difficulties, that's fine; the Carlos Family's offspring should have this responsibility. But if they offend some powerful figure they shouldn't in the Left Silent Cosmos Domain, given their personalities, they probably won't even come back for help. After all, in their eyes, they've already broken away, and they can only rely on themselves."

"So, as a father, I have a request."

"I don't expect Lin Constant Ban always be on their side. They are members of the Carlos Family and should be responsible for their choices. I only hope that, within the limits of his power and under the premise of following the rules, Lin Constant Ban can offer them some guidance and assistance."

"This drop of blood has nothing to do with Constant Guard's duties; it is simply my way of expressing gratitude to Lin Constant Ban as a father."

Lin Yi's consciousness slowly withdrew from the Information Flow.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment.

"As a father..."

Who is Yi Ta Carlos?

The head of the Carlos Family, a mid-stage Constant Lord in the Constant Source Realm Mid-Rank, and one of the true pinnacle beings in the Silent Vast Cosmos Domain.

That day in the palace, Lin Yi personally witnessed the demeanor of this Constant Lord.

Yet, this very person, in this message, didn't mention his own strength or status at all, only saying that he was a father.

"Fine..."

Lin Yi slowly closed the box lid again.

He raised his eyes, his gaze lingering briefly on the siblings, Xiluo and Xiluo.

The brother and sister stood side by side, with only a hand's width between their shoulders. They were both clearly curious about what their father had said, but they stubbornly refrained from asking.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and solemnly stored the dark blue crystal box into his Divine Kingdom.

Then, he bowed slightly and paid his respects in the direction of the Carlos Family's main floating island temple.

In fact, he would have done the same thing even without that drop of essence.

The moment Xiluo used his clan quota to exchange for his essence blood, the brother and sister were already his friends.

Friends looking out for each other don't need any extra gifts.

However, he understood Yi Ta's thoughts.

If it were him, and his own children were to travel to a foreign land someday, he would probably pave the way for them as well.

From Yi Ta's perspective, only by accepting this gift could the old father feel at ease.

So he accepted the gift.

However, after accepting it, he silently calculated in his heart and suddenly realized that he had actually obtained two essence bloods in one go on this trip to Jihan.

Sure enough, this thing wasn't as rare as rumored; it just wasn't widely available on the market.

Perhaps most of them lie quietly in the treasure vaults of the various Eternal Source Family, and even when they are traded, it is usually through barter, which is why they are extremely difficult to obtain at the Eternal Source Realm level.

Lin Yi thought to himself, "From now on, I can't just focus on auction houses. I also need to find out if those big families have collections and what conditions I can use to acquire them."

Of course, there's no need to voice these thoughts at this moment.

He simply turned to Kelu beside him and said, "Brother Kelu, this trip to Jihan was largely thanks to your help in making the connection. Next time you come to the Silent Cosmos Domain, be sure to let me know in advance."

Upon hearing this, Kelu laughed heartily.

"Brother Lin Yi, you flatter me. The Constant Guard should support each other. Besides, I wasn't of any real help this time. I was just watching from the sidelines."

Xiluo didn't say anything, but stepped forward and bowed to Kelu.

"Brother Kelu, I am deeply grateful for your help over the years. I don't know when we will meet again... Xiluo is extremely grateful."

Kelu smiled, then stepped forward and gently patted Xiluo on the shoulder with his arm covered in golden armor.

"Alright," he said, "Stop dawdling and go."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Lin Yi.

"It's getting late, Brother Lin Yi, take care."

Take care, Brother Kelu.

Lin Yi nodded slightly to Kelu, then turned around and led the group toward the docked spaceship.

The Constant Ban Spaceship rose smoothly from the berth platform, then slowly passed through the crisscrossing energy channels above the Silent Vast Great City, and entered the departure sequence along with several even larger giant transport ships.

Xiluo stood before the observation window on the side of the bridge, his vertical pupils reflecting the surging torrent of energy outside.

He remained in that position for a while before turning around.

"Brother Lin Yi, once we arrive in Silent City, do you have any suggestions for where we should stay?"

After listening, Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Do you two have any special needs? Do you prefer something more bustling, something quieter, or somewhere close to a specific sphere of influence? I'd like to help you make a decision."

Xiluo and Xiluo exchanged a glance, then Xiluo spoke up, "A quieter place. We don't need too much contact with the outside world in the early stages."

Lin Yi pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "In that case, I have a suggestion."

He raised his hand, and a pale golden light screen unfolded in the center of the bridge.

What appeared on the light screen was the star map of the Left Silent Cosmos Domain.

The location of the Silent Giant City is marked at the very center of the star map, and hundreds of other Cosmic Sea Giant Cities are arranged radially around it.

At a distance of about a thousand voyages from the Silent Giant City, a pale blue light was slowly flickering.

Lin Yi pointed to the point of light.

"Mist Sea City."

His voice rang out from the bridge.

"This colossal city is a border city of our Silent Cosmos Domain. The commander of the Imperial Army was my former superior in the Imperial Army, and I also have a fairly good relationship with the city lord's mansion. Most importantly, after I cleaned things up, the various forces within Mist Sea City are relatively well-behaved, and there are quite a few vacant floating islands in the city, with reasonable prices."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

"If you two don't mind that a border city can't compare to the prosperity of the capital, Mist Sea City would be a good starting point."

This suggestion was not made on a whim by Lin Yi.

Upon learning that the Xiluo siblings were going to the Silent Cosmos Domain, Lin Yi had a general idea.

Mist Sea City was his base of operations, where he wielded considerable influence. He maintained harmonious relationships with both the military commander Wen Qianfei and the city lord Ote.

The brother and sister settled in Mist Sea City, at least they didn't have to worry about being tripped up by people in the shadows. After all, there are some methods that are on the edge of the red line that even the Constant Guard can't easily get involved in.

Upon hearing this, Xiluo immediately said, "Then my brother and I will stay in Mist Sea City."

Their original plan was simply to go wherever Lin Yi was; now they've just clarified that.

Meanwhile, in the cultivation room of Mist Sea City.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.

Obtaining two essence bloods in one go, both from the top ten of the exotic beast rankings, this trip to Jihan can be considered a small turning point in his life.

Lin Yi thought to himself, "However, I still need to hurry up and make money. My savings are almost gone, so I need to save up some more as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be such a pity to miss out on opportunities to buy things because I don't have the money."

However, that's all the business of the other two clones.

His immediate priority is to use the time his Main Body is on its return journey to increase his comprehension of the Chaos Law to over 10%.

0

Once his comprehension of the laws surpasses the 10% mark, not only will his cultivation advance to the second stage of the Eternal Source Realm, but more importantly, he will be able to begin condensing his second Chaos Source Seal Pact.

At that time, his soul comprehension will also be enhanced for the second time, paving the way for the formation of the third seal.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, suppressed these thoughts, and then closed his eyes again.

Within the Purple Mist Space, the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi reignited.

Time flies.

Five thousand five hundred Epoch passed by silently.

On this day, Lin Yi stood up, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Because the clone has returned with its essence and blood.

After such a long period of cultivation, his comprehension of the Chaos Law has stabilized at 11.7%.

Although this progress would be enough to make other Eternal Source Realm cultivators envious, Lin Yi knew that after passing the 10% threshold, his comprehension speed had slowed down considerably.

Therefore, he eagerly anticipated obtaining the essence blood and then condensing the second seal.

In addition, Xiluo and the others will be arriving soon, and his Main Body will also need to come out to greet them.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yi stepped out of the cultivation room.

The silver- Mechanical Servants was waiting quietly outside the door. When he came out, he bowed slightly in greeting.

Lin Yi nodded and led his Mechanical Servants to the berth to wait.

Before long, the clone's beggar-version of the Constant Ban Spaceship landed.

The clone led the siblings Xiluo and Xiluo, out first, followed by Jiaxi and her father, Jia Di, and then several Carlos Family guards and deacons from the Jiaxi Merchant Association.

Lin Yi went to greet them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then invited them back to his residence.

They were about to discuss serious matters, something they had agreed upon on the spaceship.

After everyone was seated, Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush.

He raised his hand and gently swept it across the air, and a 3D map of Mist Sea City appeared before everyone.

The map marks the location, size, and current ownership status of each floating island. Several floating islands are specially marked in light gold, which are currently vacant and available landing spots.

"I've already had the locations and prices of these floating islands compiled in advance."

Lin Yi pointed to a medium-sized floating island on the map, not far from the Rui Family Floating Island. The floating island was an irregular oval shape on the 3D map, with several waterways leading to the main city marked by dotted lines around it. It was easily accessible, but not in the busiest Core Zone.

"This floating island originally belonged to a medium-sized family. It's of moderate size, and all the facilities on the island are well-maintained. It's ready for occupancy without the need for major renovations."

Xiluo followed Lin Yi's finger to look at the floating island, then turned to look at Xiluo.

Xiluo also stared at the 3D image of the floating island, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly to Xiluo.

Xiluo smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Lin Yi. We, brother and sister, will settle on this floating island."

17

Jiaxi also moved closer, carefully examining the markings on the map.

He wasn't looking at the floating island itself, but rather at the surrounding environment.

Adjacent to the floating island of the Carlos Family, the nearby shipping lanes lead directly to the main commercial district of Mist Sea City, and there is also a patrol point of the city guards not far away.

After confirming this crucial information, Jiaxi raised her head and asked, "Lord Lin, I wonder if we could also acquire that slightly smaller, empty floating island next to the Carlos Family's floating island?"

He was referring to a small floating island, only a third the size of Xiluo 'Xiluo chosen island, which was almost right next to the edge of the island on the 3D map. "The Jiaxi Merchant Association Guild isn't very large; this small island is sufficient. If we can settle down next to you and Young Master Xiluo, it will be easier to look after each other in the future."

Lin Yi glanced at the location of the small floating island, smiled, and nodded. "That island is also on the vacant list. If you're sure, I'll have someone go to the city lord's mansion to complete the formalities."

And that was the end of it.

Over the next few days, Lin Yi arranged for his silver- Mechanical Servants to take the siblings Xiluo and Jiaxi to the city lord's mansion to complete the handover procedures for the floating island.

Upon hearing that these two were personally brought by Lin Yi, Lord Ote quickly completed the formalities. Not only that, he also helped to contact several reputable teams of craftsmen to be responsible for the renovation of the floating island and the upgrading of the protective array.

Xiluo was not one to drag things out. Once he confirmed the location of the floating island, he immediately began the resettlement work. He brought about thirty people from Silent Vast City, including six at the peak of the True Source Realm, more than ten at the high level of the True Source Realm, and the rest were mid-to-low-level cultivators responsible for daily chores.

These people were recruited by him in the name of the Carlos Family when he was in Silent Vast City. Their loyalty is not an issue, but they still need some time to familiarize themselves with the local situation in Mist Sea City.

Jiaxi's side was even more efficient; the core members of the chamber of commerce had followed him all over the country for many years, and everything was settled in no time.

Lin Yi did not interfere with their development plans, but simply gave them a detailed introduction to the situation in the city.

After the Huo Family branch was destroyed, the power structure within Mist Sea City underwent a minor reshuffle.

Those forces that had once relied on or had close ties with the Huo Family Huo Family were either dealt with by the City Lord's Mansion after other problems were uncovered, or they quickly distanced themselves from the Huo Family and took the initiative to curry favor with the City Lord's Mansion and the Imperial Army.

Those local families who had been oppressed by the Huo Family for many years experienced varying degrees of rebound after the Huo Family's downfall.

The Rui Family is the biggest beneficiary. Ruizhan's status in Mist Sea City is now vastly different from what it used to be, and many families are taking the initiative to curry favor with him.

However, Ruizhan has always acted with discretion and never used his name to seek personal gain. Instead, he has become increasingly low-key, which makes Lin Yi feel very at ease with him.

After listening, Xiluo seemed thoughtful, then asked, "Does the Rui Family make levitation shuttles?"

Lin Yi nodded.

Xiluo didn't say anything more, but exchanged a knowing glance with Xiluo.

After everything was arranged, Lin Yi continued to focus his energy on cultivation.

Inside the cultivation room.

Lin Yi took out the two crystal boxes that his clone had given him.

One was Ink-Cyan Scale Wood containing the essence blood of the Eternal Dark Constant Fusion Beast; the other was a dark red Crimson Armor crystal box containing the essence blood of the Misi Crimson Armor Beast.

He reached out, took the dark blue scale wood box, and gently lifted the lid.

The essence and blood of the Eternal Dark Constant Fusion Beast floated in the center of the box, with silver-gray and dark colors alternating and flowing, light and darkness coexisting. Each flicker caused the surrounding chaotic energy to resonate at a specific frequency.

There's really nothing to hesitate about.

This drop of blood essence ranked seventh, higher than the blood essence of the Misi Crimson Armor Beast that he originally planned to use. Since there was a better option, he naturally used the better one first.

As for the blood essence of the Misi Crimson Armor Beast, we can keep it for now and use it later when we need a more suitable one to condense the third seal.

After all, the blood essence ranked ninth is already powerful enough.

However, the higher the ranking of the blood essence, the more difficult it is to condense the seal.

The Eternal Silence Abyss Dragon ranked nineteenth, and it took him a tremendous amount of effort to condense its first seal. This drop of Eternal Dark Constant Fusion Beast essence blood ranked seventh, and its difficulty will only be higher.

However, Lin Yi wasn't too worried.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mind to its best state, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Within the Purple Mist Space, Spiritual Enlightenment Qi silently ignited.
