Unlock New Function!

Ten days have passed since leaving Qingshan Town.

During these ten days, Lin Ze and the death soldiers disguised themselves as a merchant caravan and headed towards Wutan City.

Because they were disguised as a merchant caravan, they stopped to buy and sell goods whenever they encountered towns along the way.

Therefore, their travel speed was not fast, and it took a full ten days to reach Wutan City.

During this time, Lin Ze successfully broke through to become a Two Star Dou Practitioner.

The number of death soldiers also surged to seventy-six.

Among them, there were five Blue Rare Death Soldiers.

Two of them were projected by Lin Ze during these ten days.

Their skills were Culinary Arts and Management, respectively.

Although not the noble Alchemy, Lin Ze was quite satisfied.

At least the death soldier with the Culinary Arts skill greatly improved their quality of life during the journey.

And the death soldier with the Management skill made the increasingly large group of death soldiers more efficient in their tasks.

Every ten Blue Rare Death Soldiers could increase the Cultivation Speed by 1%.

Calculating this way, combined with the Cultivation Speed gained through Resonance from the White Common Death Soldiers, it had reached one percent!

It seemed that upon truly reaching one percent, Lin Ze felt a change.

It was as if the Cultivation Speed had indeed become a little faster.

He wasn't sure if it was a Psychological Effect or if he genuinely felt it.

As the road became smoother and wider, the number of pedestrians around also increased.

Looking into the distance, a majestic city could be seen, standing at the end of the horizon.

Wutan City!

From afar, one could see the bustling crowds at the city gate, mercenaries returning from hunting rubbing shoulders, merchants enthusiastically calling out to customers, and travelers from afar with novelty in their eyes.

It was truly a lively and prosperous scene.

Xiao Yi Xian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards Wutan City, a hint of curiosity and amazement in her eyes.

Is this the big city of the Jia Ma Empire?

It is indeed different from Qingshan Town.

The towering city walls alone were incomparable to Qingshan Town.

As the caravan gradually approached, Lin Ze could see more clearly.

On the majestic city walls of Wutan City, there were gaps from sword and blade slashes, claw marks left by terrifying beasts, and dried, blackened bloodstains. All of these told travelers what kind of brutal wars this city had experienced.

Lin Ze had also gathered a lot of intelligence about Wutan City.

Because it was backed by the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Wutan City had thus entered the ranks of the major cities in the Jia Ma Empire.

But after mentioning the benefits, it was time to talk about the drawbacks.

Because it was backed by the Magical Beast Mountain Range and gathered such a large population, when the magical beasts reproduced excessively, they would also be coveted.

Driven by hunger, the magical beasts would gather in groups and impact Wutan City like a tide.

This was also known as the Beast Tide Disaster!

However, with the frequent release of missions by the City Lord Mansion to hunt magical beasts, the number of magical beasts had been effectively controlled, and there had been no beast tide in recent years.

Lin Ze recalled the intelligence, looking at the bloodstains and traces of war on the city walls, and felt a sense of emotion.

Even Wutan City was not completely safe.

"But even so, it's safer than staying in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"Moreover, Wutan City is backed by the Magical Beast Mountain Range. As a large city, the number of mercenaries here is much greater than in Qingshan Town!"

"The surge in the number of mercenaries also means an increase in the output of magical beast resources here!"

"This way, I can directly purchase magical beast meat from these mercenaries."

"The efficiency of obtaining Flesh Essence will definitely be higher than letting the death soldiers hunt in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!"

"After all, the strength of the death soldiers is too weak right now."

Lin Ze thought with some emotion.

He had obtained over 700,000 Gold Coins from the ruins, which was more than enough to purchase magical beast meat.

However, to avoid suspicion, Lin Ze decided to open a restaurant specializing in magical beast meat.

Coincidentally, the Blue Rare Death Soldier that Lin Ze had previously projected possessed the skill and talent for Culinary Arts.

After paying an entrance fee, the caravan successfully entered Wutan City.

Lin Ze sent the death soldiers to gather intelligence about Wutan City.

At the same time, he asked Ma Fugui to scout for a shop in a good location. If there was an existing restaurant, that would be even better; he would just throw Gold Coins at it then.

After all, in the cultivation world, as long as it doesn't involve cultivation resources, gold coins have strong purchasing power.

Twenty gold coins could sustain a family for a year, and a shop would cost at most a few thousand gold coins.

Lin Ze handed all these matters over to his death soldiers, while he took Xiao Yi Xian to rent a small courtyard in Wutan City to cultivate in peace.

Roughly calculating, there was less than a month left until the Jia Nan Academy enrollment.

Perhaps he could reach the Three Star Dou Practitioner level before the Jia Nan Academy enrollment.

In less than three days, Ma Fugui had handled everything.

The total cost for all the necessary permits for the shop and restaurant, and even for establishing some connections, was less than ten thousand gold coins.

Lin Ze casually named it the Magical Beast BBQ Restaurant, simple and direct.

This kind of shop clearly indicated that they would accept any Magical Beast Meat, no matter how much!

With the Magical Beast BBQ Restaurant, they could naturally acquire a large amount of Magical Beast Meat.

And this restaurant was conveniently located near the marketplace, where mercenaries traded items after their hunts, making it easy to acquire goods.

In less than a day since the Magical Beast BBQ Restaurant opened, Lin Ze's Flesh Essence reserves had surged by a hundred units!

And this was just the beginning!

Many mercenaries only took the key materials from magical beasts, such as Magic Cores, beast hides, and sharp claws, and discarded the Magical Beast Meat.

Now that they heard Magical Beast Meat could also be exchanged for money, more mercenaries would choose to transport it back.

Watching the Flesh Essence steadily increase day by day, the smile on Lin Ze's face grew more pronounced.

"Lin Ze, have you encountered any good things recently? Why do you seem so happy?"

"Haha, indeed, I have. The Magical Beast BBQ Restaurant opened by my subordinates is doing very well. I believe it will recoup its costs soon."

Although Xiao Yi Xian found it a bit strange, she didn't have any other ideas after thinking about it and accepted his explanation.

After all, the barbecue restaurant opened by Lin Ze's subordinates was indeed quite popular.

In a short time, it had already gained some fame in Wutan City.

Xiao Yi Xian even went to the barbecue restaurant to eat every day, feeling a slight bulge in her abdomen.

Thinking of her abdomen, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but recall the records in the Seven Colored Poison Scripture, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

She was still hesitating whether to confess about her Woeful Poison Body to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze didn't notice the hesitation in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes; his attention was already on the Bronze Mirror.

[Flesh Essence: 1015/1000 units]

Flesh Essence is full, it's time to unlock new functions!

"Consume Flesh Essence!"

[Precision Deployment: After the Mirror Master's Projection of Death Soldiers, when summoning Death Soldiers, you can choose the landing location of the Death Soldiers (beside the Mirror Master, any location within the Mirror Master's soul perception, beside any Death Soldier.)]

Seeing the Precision Deployment function, Lin Ze was overjoyed and clapped his hands.

This function was too timely!

If he were to go to Jia Nan Academy and summon Death Soldiers there, it would inevitably attract attention.

If he could use Precision Deployment, he would have no more worries!
