Cultivating at Breakneck Speed, the Mysterious Neighbor (continued)

Meanwhile, on Blue Star World, in that lakeside manor...

A girl dressed in a white dress and white shoes, with her eyes closed, was groping her way out of the room.

As soon as I entered the living room, I heard the sound of the door opening and a woman's worried voice.

"Wanyin, why did you run out by yourself again?"

The girl in the black dress put down her black umbrella, ran over, and helped the girl in the white dress out.

"Hehe... it's okay." Xia Wanyin laughed innocently, "I know this house like the back of my hand. I even remember exactly how many floor tiles are on the floor."

The girl in the black dress glanced at her, her face showing a mixture of helplessness and heartache.

"By the way, sister, have my two materials arrived yet?" the girl in the white dress asked softly.

"Of course." Xia Lingyin raised her chin slightly. "I've personally taken charge, is there anything I can't accomplish?"

"That's true, my sister has always been so amazing." Xia Wanyin replied without hesitation.

Xia Lingyin shook her head at her sister's admiring look, then helped her to the sofa in the living room.

Then he took out a black combination lock box and placed it on the table in front of him.

Then, the password was entered, and the lid opened with a "beep".

A flash of light revealed two unusual items inside.

They were a glowing crystal and a broken spear.

Xia Wanyin reached out and picked them up, carefully sensing them before a look of delight appeared on her face. "They really are the advancement materials 'Light Spirit Crystal Core' and 'Broken Saint Long Spear'."

"Great! Xiao Guang and Golden Spear will be able to advance to Master soon!"

Xia Lingyin became somewhat complicated upon hearing the last sentence.

It should be noted that as a top genius lord of the Mountain City, she struggled in the Land of Mist three or four years before barely breaking through to the Expert Rank.

Only recently did they acquire their first Master Rank unit.

Her younger sister, however, had only been in the Land of Mist for less than four months, yet she had already caught up with her.

This was quite a blow to her.

But before she could think any further, Xia Wanyin had already stretched out her arm, Flower of Mist slowly began to rotate.

"Whoosh..."

A moment later, two enormous Overlord Rank Soul appeared on the table, along with a large pile of Soul Stone, Elite Soul, and so on.

Xia Lingyin stared at the table full of materials, a look of shock appearing in her eyes.

After all, that was Overlord Rank Soul, an extremely scarce resource even for her.

"Wanyin, what are you doing?" Xia Lingyin asked in confusion.

"Of course it's for my sister," Xia Wanyin said without hesitation. "You must have paid a high price to get these two materials for me, I can't just take them for nothing."

Xia Lingyin paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You don't need to give me these. I've already paid for those materials."

"Your top priority right now is to utilize all available resources to enhance your own capabilities."

"It's alright." Xia Wanyin seemed to know she would refuse, and said with a smile, "I've recently obtained a lot of resources in the Blood Mist, this is nothing to me."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the girl in the black dress paused briefly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She naturally noticed the changes in the rankings.

His younger sister's impressive entry into the top 100 has attracted the attention of countless lords around the world.

At first, Xia Lingyin even thought she was seeing things.

After all, that's the top 100; even Master Rank experts might not be able to squeeze in.

Including Xia Lingyin herself, she is currently only hovering around the 900th rank.

She didn't truly believe it until she found the girl and received her confession herself.

"Wanyin, how did you do that?" Xia Lingyin couldn't help but ask, "The Land of Mist is very deep, and there are many taboos. Every power comes at a huge price."

"You absolutely must not touch anything you shouldn't in order to boost your ranking."

"I know, Sister Lingyin." Xia Wanyin nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

After hearing Xia Lingyin didn't ask any more questions.

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Although Xia Wanyin didn't say it, she had guessed some of the clues.

For the first two months, her younger sister often talked to her about that mysterious neighbor, saying how amazing he was.

But he hasn't mentioned it since that time in the Lotus Pond Secret Realm.

Even when Xia Lingyin asked her questions, she made up various excuses to evade them, as if she was deliberately hiding them.

But the more this is the case, the more it proves that Xia Lingyin's conjecture is correct.

My younger sister has developed so rapidly, and this time she has even broken into the top 100 of the rankings.

It's very likely because of that so-called 'neighbor'.

She made up her mind that once the Blood Mist Frenzy ended, she would personally go to the Blackwing Plains to take a look.

Who exactly is that mysterious 'neighbor'?

Meanwhile, in the other Red Sand World...

Deep within the endless red desert, in the heart of that ancient city, a group of figures dressed in long robes are gathered in the council hall.

"Chongfu, have you found out anything?"

The old man seated in the main seat asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is Shen Xing's background, and what is the strength of the Blue Star World?"

Everyone turned their gaze to a young figure sitting in the front row.

The young man whose name was called stood up and said somewhat nervously, "Elder Zoushi... we... we haven't found out yet."

The old man frowned slightly and asked, "What happened? Didn't we already meet his conditions?"

"That's enough..."

The young man hesitated, his voice hoarse, and said, "But after he accepted the gifts, he said our sincerity wasn't enough, that these things weren't enough to make him sell out his world."

"What?!"

Before the old man could speak, a middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but stand up abruptly. "We gave him fifty million Soul Stone, plus five Overlord Soul, and a Proof of Hero!"

"These resources could even allow a small tribe to rise and develop into a medium-sized tribe!"

"He still says it's not enough?"

Others chimed in.

"That's right, this batch of resources is no small amount!"

"Chongfu, is this guy lying to you?"

"Take this guy down! How dare he go back on his word! He's despicable!"

The crowd started talking all at once, causing a brief period of chaos in the council hall.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing."

The elderly man in the main seat raised his hand, silencing the noisy crowd.

Then, he looked at the young man again. "Since this person says our sincerity is insufficient, did he say what he wants?"

Upon hearing this question, the young man wiped the sweat from his brow. "Reporting to Elder Zoushi Shi... he said he needs at least one hundred million Soul Stone, three Crown Rank Soul, plus one SS-Rank Talent Crystal..."

"They say it's... they say it's the price for betraying their own people."

After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a brief silence.

"You bastard!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but curse, "This greedy bastard is asking for the moon!"

"We're still short of Crown Rank Soul ourselves, and he wants three at once, not to mention the incredibly precious SS-Rank Talent Crystal."

"That's right!"

Other powerful figures echoed this sentiment.

"This guy is deliberately extorting us. We've already given him so much material, and he's still not satisfied!"

"In my opinion, there's no need for cooperation. Just teleport a few Tier Four Overlord Rank units over there, capture him, and torture him to extract a confession!"

"I second that! I want to see just how big his appetite is!"

The more they talked, the angrier they became; they were clearly quite upset.

The young man also lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

He never expected that the guy from the Blue Star World in his territory would suddenly change his mind.

It had been agreed before that he would share information about the Blue Star World as soon as the materials arrived.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only reneged on the deal at the last minute, but he also managed to pocket the materials.

If he weren't outmatched, Chongfu would have captured him on the spot.

You son of a bitch, you should at least share some with me, right?

The old man in the main seat, however, did not seem as angry as the others. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

"One hundred million Soul Stone... that's not too much."

"Anyway, our Red Sand World doesn't have many other resources, but we do have a few super Soul Stone Mine."

"As for the other three Crown Rank Soul, the Sand Lord should have them. I'll go talk to him and we should be able to gather them all."

"It's this SS-Rank Talent Crystal..."

He paused for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man in the crowd with a sun-shaped mark on his forehead. "Rishi, I remember, didn't you find an SS-grade crystal in a forbidden place?"

Everyone in the hall was startled upon hearing this.

"Elder Zoushi, are you serious? Are you really going to give that guy Crown Rank Soul and an SS-Rank Talent Crystal?"

"Elder, please think twice! This man is a greedy wolf. What if he takes the resources and then turns his back on us? Wouldn't we lose everything?"

"Yes, we can't fall for that again. We need to take him down by force!"

They all tried to dissuade him and disagreed with the decision.

The old man glanced at them and said calmly, "You lot, don't be so short-sighted."
