Chapter 45 The Stinking Lake Abundant with Spiritual Energy
call……

Before the morning breeze could dispel the darkness over the floating island, the sable immortal had already begun his work.

Beside the dark, stinking lake, two minks were busy scavenging for spiritual energy.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Mink Baibai swung its big tail as it pushed a camping vehicle, which was filled with jars that stored spiritual energy.

"Ouch!"

Mink Circle followed beside her, holding the spirit-detecting stick in its front paws, waving it in mid-air to scoop up wisps of spiritual energy and put them into the jar.

The two minks were very pleased with themselves!
They were surprised to discover that this small, smelly lake was surrounded by extremely abundant spiritual energy!
I worked a night shift yesterday and managed to collect forty liters of spiritual energy here!
It's important to know that even a huge floating island can only collect a few hundred liters of spiritual energy.

As for the stench...

None of that matters anymore!

"Waaaaah, aww aww aww..."

...While catching spiritual energy, Mink Circle did the same as calculating the accounts.

Initially, they used forty liters of spiritual energy to cultivate the immortal peach tree and harvested four large immortal peaches.

Later, the boss tried it and found that at least thirty liters of spiritual energy had to be invested before the peach tree could grow.

Only after continuing to inject spiritual energy can the peaches begin to grow.

I thought that if I added another ten liters of spiritual energy, I could get four more peaches...

As a result, after ten liters of spiritual energy were poured into it these days, the immortal peach tree grew taller and thicker, but only produced two small peaches that were not yet ripe!

The more Mink Circle calculated this, the more panicked she became.

At this rate of spending, how long will the boss's more than 1,000 liters of spiritual energy last?

"Awoooooo!"

Fortunately, there is this stinky lake, which replenishes their spiritual energy reserves!
Mink White felt dizzy as she pushed the cart.

"Aww? Waaaaah?"

How did Mink Circle manage to figure out such a complicated calculation?

It was completely confused.

Mink Circle scooped up spiritual energy, its eyes narrowed and a smug look on its face.

"Aww, waah waah waah..."

It couldn't figure it out anyway, since minks aren't very good at math.

But these days, I've been spending my spiritual energy every day, and the more I spend, the more it hurts. The more it hurts, the more I spend. And then, suddenly, everything is calculated!

As the morning light grew brighter, the two minks circled the stinking lake, collecting enough spiritual energy to fill thirty jars, totaling sixty liters.

They screwed the cans shut, put away the spirit-testing sticks, and then excitedly pushed the cart back to the camp while barking loudly!
Time for breakfast!
……

whoosh...

whoosh...

Hundreds of clouds, carrying hundreds of people, are moving forward together!
Many people in the team are already proficient at flying, and some even chat while flying.

Did you all see the trending topics that night?

"That tiger is really eerie."

"Could it be some kind of strange method?"

In the back of the team, Captain Zhang was speaking into the earpiece hidden in his scarf, reporting on the work one by one.

"...Director Li wanted me to ask for your opinion, to see if you have any knowledge of the [City God] route?"

"They are currently in very active talks with us, wanting to integrate into our community and work together to protect our territory and its inhabitants."

Wu Yun was next to him, her face also covered by a scarf.

City God?

He did know a flamboyant guy who came from the family of the City God, but that wasn't much else he knew.

I had no choice but to reply into my headset.

"I don't understand."

As they chatted, Captain Zhang's colleagues nearby were all amazed!
This time, the big shot arrived quietly, suddenly appearing beside the captain.

Moreover, instead of unfolding the ice crystal wings, they enveloped the entire team in a faint white mist, making them feel much more relaxed without them even realizing it!

Captain Zhang continued.

"It is said that the tiger bean that was trending on social media that night is related to the demon race's pathway [divine blood]."

"This method was originally meant to be used secretly to develop and recruit celestial officials, but somehow it ended up being exposed by the protection organization and trending on social media..."

Wu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief inside the scarf.

Demon race? Divine blood?

Sure enough there is a problem!
Fortunately, I reported it in time.

He replied into his headset.

"understood."

Then Instructor Zhang continued.

"The people who passed through the City God's area also provided some information."

"It is said that there are ten routes in total."

"Besides the known Biaoyun and Chenghuang, and the unclear Yinshan, Guicha, and Shenxue, there are five others who are also secretly selecting celestial officials."

"The ten Grand Ninth-Rank Immortal Officials will be cast into the mortal world together in five days."

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety people who attained the ninth rank of fruit will also be cast into the mortal world in five days."

"Um... In our Biaoyun Arena, apart from those who have already died, there were indeed a thousand initial players."

"Moreover, after a few die, the dream immediately brings in new ones."

"Although we don't know who will ultimately be a Grand Ninth Rank and who will be a Junior Ninth Rank... ten thousand positions will surely be cast into the mortal world in five days."

Ten thousand positions?

What would the world become?
Wu Yun couldn't imagine it.

After hearing all the information, Wu Yun bid farewell and left the team.

Huang Xiaozhong and the others, who had been watching his figure closely, suddenly saw a white mist appear, and the big boss disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared at all.

……

"what is this?"

The campsite on the floating island.

Wu Yun picked up a magical artifact he had just found and examined it closely.

This is a small brass fish, round and with its mouth open.

"Is it a magical artifact for killing?"

Like most magical artifacts, this fish cannot be used because it lacks a matching hat.

But Wu Yun still managed to find the corresponding official position in the register of celestial officials.

"Um... is it used to check water quality?"

He dropped the small fish.

I felt a little depressed.

The seven floating islands in the dream have been turned upside down.

All the magical artifacts and official hats have been recovered and are now displayed in their camp, piled high with boxes.

But there wasn't a single magical artifact of the killing or destruction type inside...

It was as if, on the eve of the fall of these floating islands, someone gave an order to remove all the weapons from the seven islands.

"Then what should I do?"
"With my three hundred years of cultivation, do you think I can fight them head-on?"

Wu Yun's digestion of the immortal peaches he's been eating has been getting faster and faster these past few days. He already has three hundred years of cultivation, but he has no concept of this and doesn't know if it's enough.

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a ferret crying outside.

When they went outside, they saw Diao Baibai and Diao Huhu guarding the peach tree, crying loudly with their faces upturned!
"Ow ooh..."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

what happened?
He looked up and saw that the peach tree leaves were mostly withered and falling, the trunk was thinner, and the bark that had been cracked before had even closed up.

When it rains, it pours!

Why is this thing malfunctioning too?
Rolling around...

It was Mink Circle, her face streaked with tears, pushing her camping bike as she approached the owner.

The car was filled with white crystalline granules, which were fertilizer for the peach trees.

"Waaaaah, aww aww aww..."

...The mink ring explained to the boss.

It turns out that these are not ordinary fertilizers, but fertilizers made from the spiritual energy collected from the stinking lake.

Wu Yun picked up the spirit energy jar that Diao Quan Quan handed him, opened it, glanced at it, and his lips twitched.

"This...this spiritual energy...it's been contaminated..."
