Chapter 199: Lord Zi Yang, Spirit Stones
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Welcome to my Mechanical Beast Sect, everyone!”
The person looked sage-like, had a long beard, a white robe, and a kind appearance.
If he was still alive, he was definitely a powerful immortal cultivator with mystical abilities.
Unfortunately, it was unknown how tall the grass was now. What remained was only an incomplete consciousness.
Lin Ye looked over and saw the other party’s condition clearly.
Seemingly sensing Lin Ye’s gaze, the old man looked deeply at him and said in a speechless manner, “Good fellow, it has only been five days since you have descended, but you alone already have two top-class talents and an advanced talent. Impressive!”
“With such talent and fortuitous opportunities, even in our generation, you can be considered a peerless talent.”
“How can I address you, senior?” Lin Ye did not refute. At this moment, he was very humble.
The person before him was very powerful. Just by taking a look, he was able to discern the tier of his Heart’s Web, Luck Plunder, and Hint talents. This was truly frightening.
“My Daoist name is Zi Yang. All the friends used to call me Lord Zi Yang when I was alive,” the old man said pleasantly.
“Lord? What the f*ck! So powerful!” Yang Fusheng widened his eyes.
“What does being a lord mean?” Lin Ye asked via voice transmission. There was a prehistoric encyclopedia here. It would be a waste not to use it.
“It’s an honorific title used by those who cultivated. Usually, only the old monsters in the Nascent Soul Stage can be addressed as a lord. This old fellow was definitely not simple back then. Although I’ve never heard of his name, I believe that his strength should not be weaker than my brother.”
Yang Fusheng revealed a look of joy and continued, “Rascal, you’ve struck it rich. You are opening a ruin guarded by a Lord in the early stages. The treasures inside are definitely super powerful. Kid, I’ll help you later. Let’s split the treasures evenly.”
“Give you half?”
Lin Ye gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re a zombie. Why would you want treasures from the ruin? Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t be able to use it.”
“Bullshit, what if I still have a chance to turn into a human in the future? I have to prepare for that in advance!” Yang Fusheng argued.
“Wait, didn’t you say that I broke your cultivation and the contract power has disappeared?” Lin Ye caught the meaning hidden behind his words and glared at him with a dangerous expression.
Bastard, he even used this reason previously to flip out and extort him.
For this, he even felt a little bad.
But in the end, this bastard was actually lying.
“Ahem…” Yang Fusheng coughed lightly and said awkwardly,” It’s a little bad, but it’s not that bad. At most, it will take a longer time for me to recover. I could originally recover in a year, but it might take two to three years now. ”
“Get lost. I don’t believe anything you say now.” Lin Ye cursed and couldn’t be bothered with him.
People nowadays, no, including zombies, had too many tricks up their sleeves. He even dared to lie to him.
Ridiculous!
“Give me back the tablet!” In the end, he activated his Universal Pull skill and grabbed the tablet from Yang Fusheng’s hand.
“Ah, my Balala energy!”
Yang Fusheng screamed miserably. He had just seen a few fair-skinned and beautiful female immortals.
At the crucial moment, it was snatched away.
He was so angry that his teeth chattered.
Not far away, everyone else turned their heads, including Lord Zi Yang. He looked at Yang Fusheng and frowned. He even pinched his fingers and divined a few times. He said in surprise, “Zombies? Green eyes? No, that’s not right. This… He has the bloodline of the Zombie King. It has dropped by a class? Strange, the divine blood has disappeared and he is only Class 4 now. Unbelievable…”
“Hey, this is my privacy. Why do you care? Shut up!” Yang Fusheng roared in anger.
“Heh heh, young man… Little Zombie, don’t be angry. Your fate is strange. You might have a chance to be reincarnated as a human in the future. Very good.”
Lord Zi Yang had a benevolent expression on his face, almost smiling out loud.
“Alright, young man. Tell me your names… uh, never mind. There are too many of you and it’s too much trouble. Go ahead and write it yourself. With your strength, I believe you will definitely pass the preliminary round.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the bluestone path behind the mountain gate and continued, “Keep walking forward. If you encounter any mechanical beasts on the way, kill a portion of them. When you reach the Thousand Beasts Pagoda 500 meters ahead, you will be considered to have succeeded. At that time, you will be rewarded according to your performance.”
“Then, goodbye for now and I shall see all of you interesting young people later!”
With that, a white flash and Lord Zi Yang vanished.
As soon as he left, Yang Fusheng jumped behind Lin Ye and shouted, “Give me back the tablet! I don’t want the resources anymore!”
“How rude.”
Lin Ye snapped his fingers, and his Universal Pull skill grabbed Yang Fusheng from afar, firmly controlling him in midair.
“Are you going to help me when I go in?”
“Of course…” Seeing that he couldn’t break free, Yang Fusheng blinked honestly.
“That’s more like it. Here, son, I’ll give it back to you.” Lin Ye smiled like an old father and threw the tablet over.
“My lord, there seem to be many mechanical beasts ahead!”
At this moment, Tru ran back from the front. He had just taken advantage of the conversation between Lin Ye and Yang Fusheng to sneak over to take a look.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s all trash. There’s no danger.”
Lin Ye waved his hand.
In fact, when Tru went over, he could see the situation clearly too with his Heart’s Web and Hint.
All of them were Class 2 and 3 mechanical beasts. To them, they were just tickles.
“Also, return the Class 5 Armor to me!”
As he spoke, he removed the armor from Tru’s body and wore it again.
“…” Tru was speechless. No danger? Trash? Then why is my armor getting stripped away?
“Just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean you won’t have it later.”
Lin Ye rolled his eyes and raised his arm, shouting, “Let’s go! Let’s go! There might be a score for this. We should get the highest reward.”
Whoosh—
Immediately, a group of people rode on their Earth Demon Bears and charged over in a hurry.
“Roar!!!”
Opposite them, more than 250 mechanical beasts charged over.
“My lord, this seems to be calculated based on the number of people participating. It’s ten per person! Isn’t it too simple?” Zhang Liang said with a smile.
“Cut the crap and kill them!”
Lin Ye was in high spirits. There was no pressure at all in such a crushing situation.
His mind was connected to Little Green. The latter immediately understood. All the Earth Demonic Bears formed a formation and condensed an earth-type magic shield in front of everyone.
With a safety guarantee, Lin Ye started doing whatever he wanted.
Bang!
Little Green stomped on the ground and leaped into the air.
Gurgles!
The mechanical beasts below spat out wind blades, fireballs, black water, poison…
Unfortunately, before the attacks could reach the party, they were blocked by the energy shield.
At the same time, a notification came from his talent.
“Friendly Hint: Class 3 Advanced Mechanical Dog Beast. Flaws: Eyebrows!”
“Friendly Hint: Level 3 Top-tier mechanical wolf beast. Flaws: Jaw!”
“Friendly Hint: Class 4 Mechanical Leopard Beast. Flaws: Abdomen!”
“Everyone, the weakness of the dog, wolf and leopard are their glabella, chin, and abdomen respectively. Follow me closely and make haste.”
“Phoenix Spear!”
Lin Ye waved his hand, and a golden battle energy glow arose from his body.
He was riding on Little Green at an extremely fast speed.
Ever since he comprehended the Heart of the Earth Demonic Bear Rider, he could already become one with the bear, and his combat strength had increased.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant, hundreds of spear shadows fell from the sky with Little Green’s heavy weight.
Rumble!
The ground quaked violently as Little Green landed on the ground. The terrifying force instantly crushed seven to eight mechanical beasts.
At the same time, Lin Ye’s spear shadows also exploded like a rain of light among the mechanical beasts.
Gasp! Gasp!
The glabella, chin, and abdomen of all the mechanical beasts were pierced through, revealing a stone that flickered with a weak glow.
However, if one did not pay attention, they would not discover it at all.
These stones flashed with light and became dull, no different from ordinary stones.
“Lin Ye, the spirit stones, take them out quickly. We’re rich, we’re rich!” Yang Fusheng laughed loudly.
“Spirit stones?”
