Inside the main hall of Eternal Night Space, spiritual light swirled.
Yuan Tiangang's figure slowly walked out from the light screen, holding a storage bag in his hand.
Lord, the first mission of Misty Rain Tower has been completed, and a total of one million low-grade spirit stones were obtained.
Yuan Tiangang respectfully presented the storage bag and bowed in salute.
Ye Junlin took the storage bag, nodded slightly, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face:
Now that the stronghold has just been established, you managed to complete the task so smoothly. You all did a very good job.
As the words left his mouth, he suddenly raised his head and gazed into the void outside the hall:
Today is truly a special day—I have an appointment with Langya Pavilion Master Shangguan Hong at Wenxian Tower. Reckoning the time, it is about time to set off.
He turned to Yuan Tiangang and said, Gangzi, accompany me there at noon.
This subordinate obeys, Yuan Tiangang replied in acknowledgement.
Ye Junlin said no more, his thoughts stirring: System, exchange this one million low-grade spirit stones for energy points.
[Ding! One million low-grade spirit stones have been exchanged for 10000 energy points.] [Current energy points: 10000]
Start ten Bronze Draws.
[Ding! Bronze Draw in progress...]
The light screen unfolded before Ye Junlin's eyes, ten bronze-colored halos flickering in succession before the draw results emerged:
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Bronze Summoning Card x1] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 500,000 low-grade spirit stones (Note: Cannot be exchanged for energy points)] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Basic Body Refining Art rubbings x10] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Stealth Talisman x5 (Can conceal the aura of cultivators below the Void Glimpse Realm for half an hour)] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Rejuvenation Pill x3 (Healing elixir, highly effective for cultivators below the Nirvana Realm)] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Movement martial art Shadow Step (Earth-tier superior grade)] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Communication Talisman x20] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Barrier Breaking Pill x1 (Aids Grandmaster Realm in breaking through bottlenecks)] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: ...]
Ye Junlin looked at the list, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Although most were basic supplies, the Bronze Summoning Card and Shadow Step could be considered quite good gains.
Especially that Barrier Breaking Pill, which would allow him to break through a small tier of cultivation.
He immediately took out the Rejuvenation Pills, Stealth Talismans, Communication Talismans, and 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.
These resources shall be comprehensively allocated to everyone in Misty Rain Tower and for the development of the intelligence organization,
Ye Junlin instructed.
Understood,
Yuan Tiangang acknowledged, taking them and putting away the supplies one by one.
Ye Junlin's gaze fell upon that Bronze Summoning Card, the card glowing with an archaic bronze luster and a faint chill seeping out from it.
Little Tong, use the Bronze Summoning Card. Ye Junlin commanded the system in his heart.
[Ding! Bronze Summoning Card used successfully. Summoning figures from the Myriad Worlds...]
The light screen fluctuated violently, and amidst the bronze-colored light, a figure slowly condensed.
This person wore dark-tack attire, with a straight posture, a stern face, and an aura of awe-inspiring righteousness between his brows.
The spiritual energy fluctuations around his body were steady and heavy, his eyes calm like deep pools, and the Void Glimpse Realm cultivation fluctuations emanating from his body were not showy, yet steady and solid.
The system panel in front of Ye Junlin subsequently emerged:
[Name: Chu Yu] [Cultivation: Late Void Glimpse] [Physique: Mysterious Iron Ice Heart Physique (Naturally sensitive to killing intent, clear-minded, not easily disturbed by illusions)] [Cultivation Technique: Pure Profound Art (Refining qi and nourishing the spirit, spiritual energy is pure and condensed upon striking, specializing in piercing flaws)] [Martial Arts: 1. Stone Splitting Fist (Overbearing and fierce, fist wind can split stubborn rocks, skilled in frontal armor-breaking), 2. Silent Shadow Walk (Steps without sound, can conceal one's aura when sneaking, suitable for surprise attacks)] [Background: Famous assassin of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. Instigated by Duke Ling of Jin to assassinate Zhao Dun, he saw that Zhao Dun was upright and respectful, could not bear to strike, and instead crashed into a locust tree to die, demonstrating his aspirations with death and renowned for righteousness.] [Loyalty: 100 (Moved by the lord's resurrection, willing to repay with death)]
Chu Yu pays respects to the lord!
Chu Yu knelt on one knee, his voice ringing with strength and his eyes filled with absolute sincerity.
Although he had just been summoned, he already understood his own mission, and that sense of loyalty carved into his bones made him generate complete awe toward Ye Junlin.
Ye Junlin looked at the person before him, a flash of praise passing through his eyes as he muttered inwardly:
Another righteous figure from the Spring and Autumn Period. Is this system fixated on the Spring and Autumn era...?!
Ye Junlin stepped forward and offered a gentle support: Rise.
Since you have joined my Eternal Night Heaven, you shall be one of the Eight Guards alongside Nie Zheng, Jing Ke, and the others. From now on, you must be of one heart and mind to jointly protect the Misty Rain Tower stronghold.
Hearing this, Chu Yu raised his head to look at Ye Junlin, a trace of deep emotion flashing in his eyes—
He knew full well the reputations of Nie Zheng and Jing Ke. To be ranked alongside these predecessors was enough to show how much the lord valued him.
It immediately transformed into an even deeper gratitude as he cupped his fists and said in a ringing voice:
This subordinate obeys! In this life, I shall take the lord's commands as supreme, advance and retreat together with all my fellow comrades! I will not shrink from a thousand deaths!
Yuan Tiangang at the side also narrowed his gaze. Seeing this person appear out of thin air, with an aura similar to that of Jing Ke and the others,
he already understood in his heart—this was a new companion summoned by the lord, adding yet another fierce general to Eternal Night Heaven.
Ye Junlin nodded and said to Yuan Tiangang, Gangzi, take Chu Yu to Misty Rain Tower first. Let him rendezvous with Jing Ke and the other six and get acquainted with the stronghold's affairs.
Come to Eternal Night Space to meet with me at noon, and then accompany me to Wenxian Tower.
This subordinate understands, Yuan Tiangang replied.
Chu Yu, this person beside me is Yuan Tiangang, one of the Eternal Night Heaven Six Absolutes.
He is currently temporarily in charge of all matters of Misty Rain Tower. Go with him to the Misty Rain Tower stronghold first to rendezvous with Jing Ke and the others.
This subordinate obeys! Chu Yu bowed to Ye Junlin, then turned to cup his fists toward Yuan Tiangang. Greetings, Lord Yuan!
