128: Go help the goblins collect their corpses
"Old Li, you didn't hatch any equipment today either?"
The brawny man at the adjacent hatching platform leaned over, a look of ill luck on his face.
He had just hatched three spirit seeds, and similarly, no equipment came out.
"Don't even mention it, I didn't get any equipment today either!"
"Today is really cursed, I didn't get any either, this time I lost big!"
People continuously gathered around, all complaining.
"Something's not right, with so many of us, how could not a single piece of equipment be hatched?"
"Yeah, this is too outrageous!"
These people were all regulars of the hatching area, familiar with each other, and usually exchanged experiences.
"Look quickly! Someone over there hatched an artifact seed!"
The brawny man suddenly pointed to a hatching platform not far away and shouted.
On that hatching platform, a brand new battle saber was radiating light.
"Haha, it's a battle saber!"
The adventurer next to the hatching platform was overjoyed.
He had struggled in the Secret Realm for half a month, and finally managed to get a spirit seed.
As soon as he returned to the city, he eagerly came to the hatching area to hatch the spirit seed.
Unexpectedly, he had incredible luck and directly hatched the weapon he needed.
Seeing this scene, Old Li suddenly thought of something.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the adventurer and the others.
The adventurer was covered in dust, clearly having just returned from the Secret Realm, and the spirit seed was one he had obtained himself.
As for the people around him, their spirit seeds were all purchased from the Wanding Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, Old Li slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "I know what the problem is!"
...In the Inner World.
Everyone began to count the spoils of war, categorizing them.
What could be used was kept and placed in the warehouse.
Now that the material warehouse had been established, they no longer had to pile things up in a messy way like before.
Unused items were stored separately, to be taken by Luo Chengan to the Wanding Chamber of Commerce to be sold later.
This time, a large amount of red bud rice was harvested again, all of which was sent to the treants for planting.
Each time the Inner World expanded, the red bud rice would usher in a wave of harvest.
With abundant stock now, their staple food had all been replaced with red bud rice.
"It's finally done, I'm going to eat the evolution fruit!"
"Haha, me too! So many evolution fruits, enough for me to reach Rank Nine!"
After organizing the spoils, everyone excitedly rushed to their respective courtyards.
The biggest harvest this time was those evolution fruits.
Lin Xingyu also came to the World Tree and began to consume the evolution fruit.
The quantity of evolution fruit this time was substantial. After eating them all, Lin Xingyu directly ascended to Fourth Rank Six Stars.
Wang Ledian and the others also reached Third Rank Nine Stars Peak, just one step away from Fourth Rank.
Once they found suitable spirit seeds to absorb, they could advance to Fourth Rank.
Approaching their ascension, everyone was somewhat impatient.
"Brother Yu, let's go!"
"Yes, Brother Xingyu, I'm ready!"
...Starfall City, Wanding Chamber of Commerce, second floor pickup area.
Lin Xingyu and his group arrived here to collect the bodhi fruit.
The Wanding Chamber of Commerce was highly efficient; the bodhi fruit had arrived early this morning.
After submitting the pickup code, Lin Xingyu successfully obtained the bodhi fruit.
It was a fist-sized fruit, with golden runes flowing on its surface.
The moment he held it, Lin Xingyu felt a jolt of energy, and his thoughts became incredibly clear.
It was said that the bodhi fruit could enhance Comprehension Ability, which was greatly helpful for Cultivating.
Although Lin Xingyu didn't need to Cultivate, enhancing his Comprehension Ability was very beneficial for upgrading his combat techniques.
For example, the Thousand Evolution Art, the next Rank could increase his combat power by 16 times... "This is a good item!"
He handed the bodhi fruit to the treants, hoping they could grow bodhi trees.
The matters in Starfall City had been handled, and next they should head to Vast Sea City.
The group exited the pickup area and walked directly to the first floor.
As soon as they reached the stairwell, they heard a commotion from the spirit seed sales area.
"So many spirit seeds didn't hatch artifact seeds, you must have tampered with them!"
"You must give us an explanation today!"
"Exactly, how could all of us hatch soul seeds and not a single artifact seed?"
"How do you explain this? No matter how bad our luck is, it's impossible for all of them to be soul seeds, right?"
"Please believe in our Wanding Chamber of Commerce. A large chamber of commerce like ours would not tamper with such things!"
"No one can predict what a spirit seed will hatch. Even if we wanted to tamper with it, we wouldn't know how!"
"I suspect that the spirit seeds from your Wanding Chamber of Commerce simply cannot hatch artifact seeds!"
"Right, unless you hatch a spirit seed on the spot. If an artifact seed can be hatched, I'll believe you!"
...Hearing these conversations, Lin Xingyu and his group exchanged glances, their expressions peculiar.
"Brother Yu, you did it, didn't you?"
Wang Ledian looked at Lin Xingyu with a mischievous smile.
This was simply too awesome; now the Wanding Chamber of Commerce couldn't explain itself.
If they didn't hatch a spirit seed, they couldn't quell the public's anger.
If they did hatch a spirit seed... "Ahem... this was purely accidental."
Lin Xingyu awkwardly scratched his head.
Yesterday, he only thought about earning the price difference and didn't consider so much.
"Let's go, we should head to Vast Sea City."
Lin Xingyu quickened his pace, only wanting to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible... Outside Starfall City.
Lin Xingyu and his group mounted their steeds and flew in the direction of Vast Sea City.
Wang Ledian and Wang Chiyao began their "flying performance" again.
This time, Wang Chiyao specifically put on her mecha, determined to compete with Wang Ledian.
Starfall City was not close to Vast Sea City, and it would take a long time to reach it.
Lin Xingyu lay on the back of the Dark Fiend Dragon, adjusting to a comfortable position, and began browsing the forum.
The forum was still bustling, with various posts rapidly refreshing.
["Secret Realm No. 3688 has disappeared. This is already the third Secret Realm to disappear in the nearby area!"]
["Some speculate that the three Secret Realms were all devoured by the Dragon Clan, and the next target is Secret Realm No. 2800 near Starfall City!"]
["Shocking! The Li family was annihilated overnight, and a mysterious force has struck again!"]
["Star Pavilion is furious, offering a million spirit crystals reward for the true culprit. Anyone providing clues will be heavily rewarded!"]
["Outside Vast Sea City, Secret Realm No. 2500, various forces are gathered, and the battle is fierce for control of the space stone ore vein."]
["Marquis Bone-Eater escaped from Marquis Lie Hu's hands, severely wounded."]
["Outside Starfall City, a World Purifying Society base was exposed again. Marquis Ruiwu led a team to encircle and annihilate, killing Marquis Chiyan!"]
["Starfall Academy's guardian beast, the Cloudwing Beast, and Quartermaster Zhou Bapi from the logistics department were found to be World Purifying Society spies and have now been apprehended."]
["The Three-Eyed Clan is holding another Genius Battle. Such frequent Genius Battles are cause for concern."]
["The Blood Fiend Demon Lord of the Four-Armed Clan attacked and was repelled by the Border-Guarding Supreme!"]
["A new Secret Realm appeared near Zhu Lang City, and the goblin clan surged out, invading the Blue Star World!"]
["There's an unusual movement in the Otherworld Battlefield, which might connect to a new alien world!"]
["Zhu Lang City is surrounded by goblins, and Vast Sea City has dispatched 8 battle legions for support."]
["The goblin clan possesses advanced psionic technology. If their technology is acquired, it might reduce Human Race casualties on the Otherworld Battlefield to a minimum."]
...The forum contained a huge amount of information, and Lin Xingyu gained a lot of intelligence from it.
Among them, the news about Zhu Lang City caught his interest.
It was said that a large-scale war was breaking out outside Zhu Lang City.
Zhu Lang City was near Vast Sea City, and they happened to be passing by there.
The situation at the space stone ore vein was deadlocked, and it would be difficult to determine a victor for a while.
Now was not the best time to act; he planned to wait for the major forces to wear each other down for some time.
It might be better to go to Zhu Lang City first for a harvest. He loved war.
He was going to help the goblins collect their corpses...
