Their commission was suspicious.

Xiao Jiu subconsciously looked up at the sapling that was more than half a meter taller than herself.

This sapling is the World Tree, which is about one meter tall.

The fact that Xiao Jiu is more than half a meter shorter than a sapling speaks volumes, doesn't it?

"Why did you bury me under the World Tree? Chen Luo, you bastard!" Xiao Jiu shouted in despair.

Chapter 1694 New Business at the Bar - Transmigrating to Another World, You Can Become Stronger Just by Being Buried!

"Hello, Mom? Yes, yes, it's me, your dear son."

Seeing Chen Luo seemingly talking to his parents on the phone, Xiao Jiu, whose resentment was amplified by being buried in the ground, chose to remain silent.

Xiao Jiu hasn't forgotten what the Magic Conch Sea told her was the simplest way to reach the Dimensional Sea, the first step in its journey.

When Chen Luo's parents went on a business trip, they took Chen Luo with them, then abandoned him halfway through the trip. This is how Chen Luo ended up in the Dimensional Sea.

Chen Luo only needs to quickly open the bar door and throw a teleportation anchor in the Dimensional Sea to take Xiao Jiu back and forth between this world and the Dimensional Sea.

Here, the magical conch shell, full of nonsense, reveals three key points.

The first method of the magical conch shell details the requirements for every aspect.

It was mentioned that Chen Luo's parents might indeed travel to another world in some kind of vehicle to complete a mission, and that Chen Luo's teleportation anchor point could indeed locate the Dimensional Sea.

As for whether Chen Luo lives or dies? This method doesn't go into detail, which means it's not important.

At worst, he can just die and be resurrected. If he doesn't die, Chen Luo is lucky.

Not every agent gets the opportunity to go on missions to other worlds; Kevin, for example, has never been on a mission to another world despite being an agent for so many years.

Therefore, Chen Luo's parents are necessary, and Chen Luo is also necessary.

"Son, the signal is bad here. What did you just say?"

"I mean, Mom, when are you coming home?"

"What happened on your birthday? Did you miss your mom?"

"I definitely thought about it, but more importantly, I wanted to hitch a ride. A friend of mine wants to go to the Dimensional Sea, and an item gave me a method: take me with you when you're on a mission from this world to another world, and then just drop me off halfway..."

"What a terrible idea!"

"The key is that this is the simplest method."

"Whether this method is simple or not is another matter, but it's dangerous. So it won't work! Besides, the two of us won't go back until your birthday, and I don't think you can wait that long..."

“Indeed, alright then, let me think of other ways.” Chen Luo nodded to himself.

There are still more than 20 days until Chen Luo's birthday.

Let alone 20 days, Chen Luo would be reluctant to wait even two days, although Xiao Jiu certainly wouldn't mind.

"If your friend really wants to go to the Dimensional Sea, you can do this... Don't we have some hard bottles and jars in our basement? Just wait until the spacetime tunnel in our backyard is about to spew something out, put your teleportation anchor into a bottle or jar, and then throw it into the spacetime tunnel. There's a more than 60% chance it will appear in the Dimensional Sea." After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone offered Chen Luo a solution.

"Why? What's the principle behind it? Can't we just throw a teleportation anchor point directly?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

When his mother mentioned it, Chen Luo suddenly remembered that the magical Conch Shell seemed to have mentioned this method before, but more than 90% of the content had been replaced with **. Now that he had obtained the method, he realized it.

I don't know why the garbled text is appearing. Is it because of the proxy?

Or is it because of something else?

“No, the world consciousness has told us that your teleportation anchor point can anchor time and space, so it is inherently incompatible with spacetime turbulence. Therefore, it needs a shield to protect it. However, ordinary things may be destroyed if they touch spacetime turbulence. Therefore, those bottles and jars that have been modified by spacetime turbulence are the best carriers.”

"Time-space tunnels can lead anywhere, so it's possible to be transported to the Dimensional Sea. Add to that the Dimensional Breaker attribute of the Bottle and Jar, and the probability of it appearing in the Dimensional Sea is about 60%. If the World Consciousness is willing to help you out, the probability can reach 99.9%. Talk to the World Consciousness about this... and remember to mention my name. There's a discount."

"Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom."

"You brat, if you dare add the word 'old' again, you can forget about your New Year's money. Oh, by the way, the next time the time tunnel opens should be tomorrow or the day after, the exact time is yet to be determined."

"Okay, goodbye, Mom."

"Beep beep..."

Chen Luo decisively hung up the phone.

Then Chen Luo gave a cold laugh.

Are you kidding me? Kids can get their New Year's money back from their parents? I don't believe it!

Therefore, this threat is completely ineffective.

Normally, Chen Luo would never dare to hang up on his parents, but this time, knowing that his parents wouldn't be home for another 20 days, what was there to be afraid of?

Anyway, the two elders calmed down after 20 days.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high.

When a general is in the field, he may disobey some of the emperor's orders!

hum!

"So after you finish the call, can you dig me out of the ground?" After seeing Chen Luo hang up the phone, Xiao Jiu, who hadn't dared to disturb him, finally spoke up.

"Don't worry, I've now found a way to take you to the Dimensional Sea with a success rate of 60% to 99.9%."

“I can hear you. When you two were on the phone, you didn’t try to hide it at all, you even put it on speakerphone… So what does that have to do with not being able to dig me out?” Xiao Jiu, buried in the soil, tilted her head.

"Oh, it's like this. I was planning to interview you about what it felt like to be buried in this Breath of Earth," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo has never buried anything alive in the Breath Soil yet; it's usually just monster corpses or star cores.

"Xirang, so you're telling me this thing is called Xirang?" But when Xiao Jiu heard the name Xirang, he seemed quite surprised.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"It's not like I haven't seen Breath Soil before. In fact, I have Breath Soil in my storage ring. I don't even know what Breath Soil is. This is completely different from Breath Soil." Xiao Jiu was somewhat skeptical.

"Wow, you have such good stuff in your backpack?" Xiao Jiu's storage ring was so full of things that even though Chen Luo had used a storage ring for a while, he couldn't immediately figure out how much stuff was inside.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you," Xiao Jiu said nonchalantly.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil is indeed a magical item, but it is meaningless to Xiao Jiu.

"Thanks." After quickly finding the Breath Soil and taking it out of his storage ring, Chen Luo squatted down and patted the head of Xiao Jiu, who was planted in the ground.

"So, can you dig me out now?"

"Of course, but can you tell me what it feels like to be buried in the Breath Soil? Oh, right, this Breath Soil is a modified version, so its effects are different from the real Breath Soil. Specifically, it manifests as..." Chen Luo explained the effects of the Breath Soil to Xiao Jiu.

“No wonder…” Xiao Jiu said thoughtfully.

"In fact, after I was planted in this land, I could feel the power within my body being constantly drawn out and transported to the World Tree two meters away from me. But once all this power was absorbed, it would not continue to drain my life force. In game terms, it's a mana drain effect. However, after it's all absorbed, it will still give back a little energy."

"If my spiritual energy hadn't been drained instantly and my physical strength hadn't been so weak, I would have climbed out of the pit myself long ago," Xiao Jiu said dejectedly.

It's all because of this modified version of the Breath of Earth that I, the mighty Emperor of the Nine Heavens, am powerless to climb out of this pit.

“I understand… Xiao Jiu, what do you think about me moving the bar’s daily gatherings to the pit in the Breath of Earth? We’d all be buried together and enjoy a unique Breath of Earth therapy.” Chen Luo made a suggestion.

"...Not very good." Xiao Jiu glared at Chen Luo.

"So hurry up and get me out of here!" Xiao Jiu swayed her body, but still couldn't struggle out of the tightly buried pit.

"Now I completely understand the characteristics of the Breath Soil. Once a monster's corpse, some spiritual objects, or anything of value is buried in the Breath Soil, it will be quickly converted into pure energy, leaving not even ashes. But if it's a living person, it will only absorb magic power... and it even seems to give back a little bit of energy to the contributor in order to sustain the Breath Soil's development." Chen Luo came to this conclusion by assessing Xiao Jiu's condition through the humanized plugin.

"I have a bold idea..."

"Can you please stop being so bold? Can you dig me out first? I'm scared," Xiao Jiu said.

Xiao Jiu wasn't afraid that Chen Luo would keep her buried here, but she was afraid that Chen Luo would do something terrible again.

"Oh." Chen Luo nodded, then took out a shovel and stuck it directly into the soil in front of Xiao Jiu, starting to dig a hole.

"Little Jiu, isn't the energy that the Breath of Earth is feeding you very high-level?"

"Indeed, it seems quite impressive. But I'm still just a child, so I didn't pay much attention. Cultivation is something that teenagers and adults should be concerned with; all I need to worry about is whether I can run away quickly." Xiao Jiu nodded.

This energy was originally meant to nourish the world consciousness after being absorbed by the Breath of Earth, and the nourishment needed by the world consciousness must be of a very high level.

However, because he had absorbed energy from Xiao Jiu, in order to prevent Xiao Jiu from dying, he took out one of the ten portions of energy he had obtained from Xiao Jiu and returned it to her.

However, because this energy is of a very high level, it is extremely beneficial to Xiao Jiu.

Although the amount is essentially only 1/10 of the original lost energy, the higher-level energy is beneficial for cultivation and physical transformation, and even for improving cultivation aptitude (the latter is the key point).

This is more evident in people who are less capable.

The potential to break through to higher levels is more evident in individuals with greater strength.

Moreover, the feedback from the Breath of Earth is fully automatic, requiring no effort from you.

The Breath of Earth can move on its own.

"It's decided, I'm going to launch an event at the bar," Chen Luo said after pulling Xiao Jiu out of the pit.

What activity?

"What do you think of 'Transmigrating to Another World, Becoming Stronger Just by Being Buried'?"

Chapter 1695 Yukari Yakumo: You're burying us and you still want to charge us? Have some decency!

“...This is so strange,” said Yukari Yakumo, who was buried in the ground.

“That’s really strange,” Merlin nodded.

"But it feels... surprisingly good. I didn't expect Chen Luo to actually not lie to me this time." Merlin was momentarily confused.

"How about it? I wasn't lying to you guys, was I? This feels good, doesn't it?" Chen Luo said, sitting in the bar and sipping tea.

Looking from inside the bar towards Gate 2, you can see a small sapling that is over a meter tall, and several heads that are buried next to the sapling but sticking out.

It looks... strangely creepy.

"It's not bad, but the posture is a bit strange." Yukari Yakumo looked up at the sky.

I, a dignified demon sage, have seen all sorts of grand scenes, but I've never seen anything like being buried in the ground.

Yuuka Kazami has never buried herself in the ground, yet now she's willingly being buried to become fertilizer for other Yuuka trees.

Yukari Yakumo could clearly feel that every second her regenerated demonic energy was being drawn away by some mysterious force in the soil, but at the same time, a continuous stream of higher, purer, gentler, and harmless energy was flowing into her body, sustaining her life force.

Moreover, this gentle nurturing has no side effects... except that you can't move while buried, which feels a bit strange...

Although 100% of its demonic power was drained, only about 10% of its power was returned. However, the essence of that power was much higher than that of demonic power!

This power is of considerable help even to Yakumo Yukari, whose strength is already at an extremely high level.

Yukari Yakumo can now clearly feel that her physical strength has increased by 0.01%.

Although the quantity is small, Yakumo Yukari was buried in the ground for very little time.

Just as Chen Luo said, you can become stronger as long as you are buried.

Although this increase in strength may gradually decrease as Yakumo Yukari's physical strength improves, it is still an opportunity for her, who has been stagnant for a long time.

In addition to the enhancement of her physical strength, Yukari Yakumo could also clearly feel that her demonic power was being purified.

It's like the swimming pool problem: you're draining water out while simultaneously filling it in. Even though the amount of water added is only 1/10 of the amount lost, if you were adding ink, although the ink might not be immediately noticeable, it's only a matter of time before the ink becomes visible to the naked eye.

This Breath of Earth is a wonderful thing!

If this effect can be maintained, even if it only returns 1% of the energy, let alone 10%, it would still be a qualitative change for Yukari Yakumo.

"Chen Luo, how about you let me dig up a cubic meter of soil? I'll offer you 1000 Paradise Coins," said Yukari Yakumo, who was buried.

Yukari Yakumo has already seen it; this kind of soil called "breath soil" has covered all the bare land on this golden earth.

With such a large quantity of Breath Soil, surely it wouldn't be impossible to give away one millionth of it, right?

"Yukari Yakumo, it's already 8 PM," Chen Luo said, glancing at the bar's time.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that it's better to daydream during the day."

"If you don't want to sell, then don't sell..."

"It's not that I don't want to sell. If you really want to buy, I can give it to you. Anyway, these Breath Soils can reproduce indefinitely, but once a part of the Breath Soils is dug away from the original Breath Soils, its effect will disappear."

"Moreover, even if you possess the complete Breath Soil, without the World Tree's cooperation, the Breath Soil will not have such an effect at all," Chen Luo said.

The original form of the Breath Soil was just a small clod of earth, no bigger than a fist, that could fit in a beaker. But after being placed under the World Tree, it instantly assimilated the soil of the entire surrounding golden Earth into the Breath Soil.
