Master, a female ghost has her sights on senior brother

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: The chat group has updated. I can see more detailed information on all of you now.]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: The chat group has also provided a ranking system for all the heavens and myriad worlds, from tier one to tier nine. The higher your tier, the stronger you are.]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Tier one is the level of an ordinary person. Tier two is transcendent, but still subject to the mortal cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Tier three is the realm of immortals, whose level of life has already transcended that of mortals. At tier four, one begins to comprehend laws. At tier five, one has complete mastery over at least one law and forms a domain. At tier six, one controls an entire major world and reaches the level of a world lord.]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: As for anything beyond that, the chat group says my level is too low to see it.]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: That's what I can see from the update. Of course, most members of the group are tier two. Also, you need a group member's permission to use a Teleportation Talisman to go to their world. Otherwise, even if you buy one, you can't go. Killing and fighting are forbidden in the group. When you go to someone else's world, you can't hurt them, even indirectly.]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: That's everything in this update. All in all, we need more and more points.]

[Huang Rong: Mm-hmm, got it.]

[Xu Xian: I understand as well.]

[Xiao Yan: How is tier two divided up? There are stronger and weaker people in tier two, after all. Are they all just lumped together as tier two? Like Golden Core and Nascent Soul, are they both tier two?]

Su Xiaoxiao's explanation had left Xiao Yan confused. Then were his Dou Qi and Dou Saint also tier two?

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Doesn't matter. Your tier is tier two, anyway. What you're talking about is combat power; your level of life is still tier two.]

[Xiao Yan: All right.]

Lin Yu watched the group chat without butting in once. He was thinking about what tier Erlang Shen was.

If Erlang Shen was still tier two, that would prove this world wasn't a particularly high-level world. But if he was above tier two, Lin Yu would have to keep a lower profile.

If some high-tier big shot took a dislike to him one day and plotted against him, he'd be finished.

[Huang Rong: Great group leader, what tier am I? Tell me, quick! Curious.gif]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Apart from Xu Xian and Ning Caichen, everyone else is tier two.]

[Huang Rong: Phew, thank goodness. At least I'm not the weakest.]

[Xu Xian, Ning Caichen: ...]

There was one thing Su Xiaoxiao hadn't mentioned. Ever since these people had first joined the group, she had been able to see each person's potential. For people like Huang Rong from martial arts worlds, their potential stopped at tier two; they could never break through to tier three (this referred to the potential of the original protagonists).

Someone like Xiao Yan, who ascended to a greater world and broke through to become a Great Ruler, had tier-six potential. Perhaps he could even use the chat group to break through to greater heights in the future.

Shi Hao's potential was higher still, but the chat group gave no information about anything above tier six. Their current realms couldn't touch that level, so the chat group didn't reveal it either.

[Shi Hao: I wonder what tier Lord Sacrificial Spirit is.]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: All right, now that the chat group has upgraded, we can also go to each other's worlds. But a warning to everyone: the chat group also forbids harming or plotting against other group members in any form. Violators might be kicked out of the chat group.]

[Huang Rong: Mm-hmm. Weak as I am, I don't think I can plot against anyone. Weak.gif]

[Lin Yu: Got it.]

After getting a basic understanding of the update, Lin Yu checked the Teleportation Talisman newly added to the shop.

Seeing that one cost a thousand points, Lin Yu looked at his meager total of just over a thousand points and declared that he couldn't afford it.

The instructions also said:

Teleportation Talisman: Transports the user to a designated group member's side, but the user may only stay for three days and requires the other party's permission. Please pay to extend the stay if the time limit is exceeded. If the user has insufficient points, they will be sent back.

Lin Yu looked at it longingly. He wanted to buy one and visit Shi Hao's world, or take a look at one of the other high-level worlds.

The spiritual Qi in his current world really was scarce. There was enough for daily cultivation, but not enough for secluded cultivation.

"I wonder if other worlds have spiritual Qi?" Lin Yu muttered, resting his chin on his hand.

"Forget it. I'll finish this book first." There was no immediate hurry anyway, so Lin Yu continued to focus on expanding his store of knowledge.

Dong Xiaoyu might come that night, too, and Lin Yu was still making preparations. He couldn't afford to be careless.

"Senior brother, are you going back again? Didn't Master say you weren't allowed to go back this month?"

That evening, Lin Yu asked Qiu Sheng, who had already mounted his bicycle.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, junior brother. Don't let Master find out. Anyway, Master didn't say anything when I went back the past few days, so one more night won't hurt. Maybe Master was just saying it."

Qiu Sheng hurriedly motioned for Lin Yu to keep his voice down so their master wouldn't hear. If Master took it into his head to make him stay the night again, he'd have another early morning tomorrow.

"All right, then. Be careful on the road, senior brother, and remember to take the Protection Talisman I gave you." Lin Yu waved goodbye to Qiu Sheng.

"Don't worry, I've been wearing it all along." Qiu Sheng pulled the talisman out from under his clothes to show him, then rode away.

As soon as Lin Yu saw Qiu Sheng ride off, he turned and ran back to the mortuary to call Uncle Nine. "Master, bad news! A female ghost has her sights on senior brother!"

Uncle Nine, who had been reading in a recliner, shot to his feet.

"Wen Cai or Qiu Sheng?" Uncle Nine asked, looking at Lin Yu as he ran in.

"Senior brother Qiu Sheng. He just rode off on his bicycle. He should have run into the ghost already." Lin Yu froze for a moment, then answered.

"Wait until I get my gear. Did you see which way that little bastard went?" Uncle Nine didn't ask how Lin Yu knew. He simply turned to fetch his gear.

He had to be fully prepared this time. He couldn't go barehanded like yesterday; he was getting old and couldn't take it.

"I saw."

Lin Yu and Uncle Nine followed the main road Qiu Sheng had taken, searching as they went.

"We're in trouble. That bastard's been trapped by a ghost's wall. He's disappeared." Uncle Nine had followed the road to Ren Family Town for some distance without seeing a trace of him, and knew that Qiu Sheng had gone astray.

"Don't worry, Master. With this, I'm sure I can find senior brother."

As he spoke, Lin Yu revealed his Heavenly Eye. This was his first time using it; he hadn't even used it against Ren Weiyong last time, yet now he was using it to find Qiu Sheng.

"Then we're counting on you, Xiao Yu." Seeing this, Uncle Nine also wanted to witness the power of the Heavenly Eye.

A mark appeared on Lin Yu's forehead, and a golden light emerged. Different threads appeared in his vision.

This was only one way to use the Heavenly Eye. It was Lin Yu's first time, and with time pressing, he could only use it in such a crude fashion.

The threads all represented different things. Some extended from a tree, while others came from somewhere unknown. It was Lin Yu's first time using the eye, so he didn't know what they were.

Finding his senior brother, however, was easy.

Lin Yu looked at himself and saw several threads connecting him to Uncle Nine.

"Got it. This way." Lin Yu studied them carefully for a while and finally found Qiu Sheng's thread.

Uncle Nine hurriedly raced off with Lin Yu in the direction he pointed.

Lin Yu also closed his Heavenly Eye. In that short time, he had already begun to feel dizzy.

And that was without fully opening the Heavenly Eye, merely letting its outline appear. Otherwise, he would probably have fainted by now.
