19: Yao Lan: I understand, this is a secret realm!

The attacks of the Mutated Ones were without strategy; they mostly acted on instinct.

Many of the Mutated Ones' attacks leaned more towards brute force.

This was also Lin Xingyu's favorite method, and in no time, he killed them one by one... Next was the much-anticipated cleanup of the battlefield!

"F-Rank spirit gear, or a weapon?"

Not bad, keep it to sell!

"This pile of spirit crystals, there must be three thousand units, just thrown on the ground like this?"

Collect them! Collect them!

"Hmm? So much mutant beast essence blood?"

This is good stuff; give it to the World Tree to devour, and there will be many evolution fruit!

"Tsk tsk, these Barren Alliance members are really poor; they don't even have a single piece of spirit gear!"

"Fortunately, their corpses can be repurposed into evolution fruit!"

...Lin Xingyu searched each corpse, keeping useful items and giving the bodies to the World Tree.

The Li Family members were relatively wealthy; he found 8 pieces of spirit gear on them.

7 F-Rank, 1 E-Rank.

The Barren Alliance was quite miserable; not a single piece of spirit gear was found on them.

This was also related to their identity; Mutated Ones generally use their bodies as weapons and rarely use equipment.

The spirit crystal harvest was quite substantial, yielding a total of 3500 units of spirit crystals.

Happily storing these spoils in his Inner World, he turned to look at Yao Lan.

By this time, Yao Lan had accepted reality; she walked over and bowed slightly.

"Master!"

Lin Xingyu nodded, looking at Yao Lan with satisfaction.

Yao Lan was a smart person; she already understood her situation and did not take any extreme actions.

Just now, the System had already instilled information about Slaves into his mind.

As a Slave, Yao Lan's life and death were completely in his hands.

With just a thought, Yao Lan would be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

This Slave mark was bestowed by the System and had integrated with Yao Lan's Soul, making it extremely overbearing.

Once the host died, the Slave would also be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Moreover, a Slave could not harbor any unfavorable thoughts towards the host.

Otherwise, she would suffer Mental Energy lashing, a pain worse than death.

Lin Xingyu was very confident in the System.

Since it was a System-certified Slave, Yao Lan had no chance of escape.

"System, can I put her into my Inner World?"

"[Yes, as the host's private property, a Slave can be forcibly brought into the Inner World!]"

Upon receiving confirmation from the System, Lin Xingyu's mind stirred, and he and Yao Lan vanished from their spot... into the Inner World.

Yao Lan looked at the scene before her, astonished.

"This... this is..."

Her Mental Energy expanded wildly, but she couldn't find a trace of illusion.

As a Mental Energy-type Mutated One, she knew very well that this was not an illusion.

Then there was only one possibility: this was a real, existing space.

"Welcome to my world!"

Lin Xingyu looked at her astonished expression, thoroughly enjoying it.

This was the first time he had revealed his Inner World to another person.

"Master's... world?"

Yao Lan's legs went weak, and she almost sat on the ground.

She had heard of space-type abilities.

spirit seeds with space-type abilities were of a very high Rank, at least S-Rank.

She had never heard of anyone Awakening a space-type spirit seed near Starfall City.

Let alone, creating an independent world.

To her knowledge, even the top powerhouses couldn't create worlds.

This completely exceeded her understanding.

Just then, Yao Lan suddenly thought of another possibility.

"No, no, no, I was wrong; this is a Secret Realm space."

"Master has taken control of a Secret Realm!"

Although in the history of Blue Star, the Secret Realms that had been controlled numbered no more than ten.

But compared to creating one's own world, controlling a Secret Realm was more acceptable to people.

Secret Realms on Blue Star could be controlled by people.

Once the secret realm core was refined, the entire Secret Realm could be controlled.

Secret Realms produced a large amount of resources, and even special treasures, every year.

Beyond that, Secret Realms had an even more important function.

They could serve as shelters.

Within one's controlled Secret Realm, it was absolutely safe and could perfectly serve as the base camp for a faction.

To Yao Lan's knowledge, that was what the top factions did.

Some factions even became self-sufficient within Secret Realms, living in seclusion.

Therefore, the value of a fully controlled Secret Realm was unquestionable.

It was just very difficult to find and refine the secret realm core within a Secret Realm.

This required not only powerful strength but also Heaven-Defying Luck.

Thinking of this, Yao Lan couldn't help but look at Lin Xingyu.

"My Master is not only incredibly handsome, but his Luck is terrifyingly strong!"

"Following him, perhaps I..."

...Just as Yao Lan was lost in thought, Lin Xingyu interrupted her:

"Alright, from now on, you will be my personal assistant!"

"Tell me about the situation of you Mutated Ones."

"Yes, Master."

Yao Lan adjusted her thoughts and began to explain in detail.

Through her narration, Lin Xingyu gradually learned about the Mutated Ones.

Mutated Ones Cultivated mutated energy, honing themselves.

Compared to humans, they were more like mutant beasts.

It is said that high-Rank Mutated Ones would Cultivate Bloodline Power and become Bloodline Evolutionaries.

After becoming Bloodline Evolutionaries, they would not only completely solve the problem of physical mutation but also be able to absorb external spiritual energy for Cultivation.

Unlike ordinary Evolvers who absorb spiritual energy for Cultivation through spirit seeds as a medium.

Bloodline Evolutionaries could directly absorb external spiritual energy for Cultivation through their bodies.

This was a completely new Cultivation System.

Someone once predicted that Bloodline Power was the way out for Mutated Ones.

It's just that the Cultivation System for Mutated Ones is still incomplete.

Most people cannot survive the initial stage, and various problems will arise in their bodies.

It is very difficult to even survive, let alone Breakthrough to a high Rank.

Yao Lan was an orphan; as a child, she consumed mutant beast flesh and blood, causing her body to mutate and become a Mutated One.

However, Yao Lan's mind did not collapse, and she was still able to remain calm.

It was just that a pair of antennae grew on her head, which did not affect her normal life.

As a small leader in the Barren Alliance, she was responsible for this transaction with the Li Family.

After hearing about the content of their transaction, Lin Xingyu fell into deep thought.

"The Li Family has mutant beast essence blood transactions with the Barren Alliance, and at the same time, the Li Family is involved with online lending."

"The pharmacy where the original body bought medicine is also connected to online lending; they recommended the original body's online loan."

"That pharmacy also stores mutant beast essence blood. Does this mean that pharmacy has a close relationship with the Li Family?"

"At the same time, that pharmacy is also an industry of the Blood Wolf Gang, so the Blood Wolf Gang and the Li Family..."

"Pharmacy, Blood Wolf Gang, Li Family, Barren Alliance..."

"Damn, this circle is really messed up!"

"Forget it, I won't think so much; if I encounter them, I'll just kill them!"

After understanding the situation, Lin Xingyu looked at Yao Lan.

"Do you want to purify your mutated energy?"
