Chapter 1411: Chapter 1273: Space Ring for the Main Warehouse? (Chapter Number Correction) Chapter 1411: Chapter 1273: Space Ring for the Main Warehouse? (Chapter Number Correction) Chu Mu entered the palace just as the new day was rising from the east, its orange brilliance showering over the vast complex of palatial buildings.
Considering everything, his spiritual journey this time was quite lengthy. He first entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary for training, then hurried to the Qiankun Ice Gate, followed by a brief stay in Wanxiang City before immediately setting out for the Henghai Demon Territory. It had definitely been over a year.
Upon returning to Wanxiang City, the first thing Chu Mu did naturally was to report to Honorable Lady Liu Binglan.
Despite Liu Binglan’s usual composure and empress-like demeanor, should Chu Mu not greet her promptly upon his return, he would have to bear the brunt of her resentment.
When Chu Mu arrived at the Female Venerate Palace, the servant girls were just preparing breakfast. Chu Mu sat down while Liu Binglan was still freshening up and began feeding Little Mo Ye, who perched on his shoulder, to satisfy its hunger.
Among Chu Mu’s Soul Pets, Mo Ye, Little Hiding Dragon, and Dream of Oblivion were particularly fond of human food. The other Soul Pets showed no interest in snacks, only caring for the attribute-enhanced food made by Ye Qingzi.
Chu Mu helped himself to some sweets and pastries, fed some to Mo Ye, and saved a little for Little Hiding Dragon and Dream of Oblivion.
After a short while, Liu Binglan emerged, somewhat languidly, seemingly tired.
As she walked out slowly, she spotted Chu Mu already dining and immediately a smile crossed her face, and the signs of tiredness vanished swiftly.
“Welcome back… have you been starving for days, to eat up everything?” Liu Binglan said with mild surprise as she eyed the ravaged spread of food, yet the smile at the corner of her eyes deepened.
“It’s Mo Ye and the others getting greedy,” Chu Mu said. He hadn’t eaten much, but Little Hiding Dragon, Mo Ye, and Dream of Oblivion were gluttonous creatures capable of devouring any amount of food prepared for them.
After instructing the servant girls to prepare more food, Liu Binglan sat next to Chu Mu and inquired about his recent adventure in Henghai.
Reporting each experience to Liu Binglan was the protocol.
Chu Mu roughly explained the situation, and Liu Binglan listened in astonishment, not expecting that so many events had revolved around the “Night.”
“You look very tired. What’s troubling you recently?” Chu Mu asked.
“It seems someone is always trying to cause trouble for Our New Moon Land. Our Palace Forces have allocated thirty divisions across the numerous territories in the Cloud Realm and thirty more in the Spring Realm. However, whether it’s sales, recruitment, procurement, or dissemination, all our external palatial operations are severely obstructed, and it’s all orchestrated by the same power,” Liu Binglan explained.
The Palace Forces wished to expand into the outer realms, but evidently, someone was hindering their growth.
The New Moon Land was no longer like it had been in previous years. With the opening of the Holy Lands, more and more Strong Ones had obtained rare Spirit Items and Xuan Objects in the Holy Lands, many ascending to Emperor levels, with a fair number even reaching Dominator Levels.
Due to the continuous excavation by these outsider experts, the Palace had gained a wealth of resources and cultivated a large number of Dominator-level powerhouses. Now, the quantity of Quasi-Lords and Low-grade Masters found in New Moon Land was no less than those in the Level Seven Territories.
Moreover, with many unknowns still lying within the Nine Great Holy Domains, increasingly, Wandering Soul Pet Masters had joined New Moon Land and the Palace Forces. Many of these individuals had pledged their loyalty to New Moon Land through soul oaths, so if one were to compare the strength of Dominator-level powerhouses, New Moon Land might already surpass the Cloud Realm. After all, the sole Guangtong Lost Realm of the Cloud Realm couldn’t possibly match the massive output of the Nine Great Holy Domains.
“Additionally, our people here, due to their bloodline, always struggle to ascend to Soul Master Grade. Teng Lang, Shen Mo, Pang Yue, Xiao Hai, Qin Yutong, Qian Qin, Wan Ning… all of these individuals possess great potential. They now have Quasi-Dominators or Low-grade Masters, but…” Liu Binglan continued.
This was the issue that most troubled Liu Binglan. The bloodline of their people in New Moon Land made it challenging to take the step up to Soul Controller. Without reaching Soul Master level, New Moon Land would always need to recruit external Strong Ones, who were never entirely trustworthy.
“How many of them are there?” Chu Mu inquired.
Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and the others would be the core figures in charge of New Moon Land in the future. However, if they couldn’t advance their strength, it would eventually be impossible to control the incoming Strong Ones.
“Thirteen, the ones I mentioned are particularly powerful,” Liu Binglan responded.
“How many Demon Spirits can the Little Princess provide for us?” Chu Mu asked.
“Demon Spirits? Are they like those special creatures in ghost form that you brought back last time?” Liu Binglan knew only that Chu Mu had settled them in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm but was unclear about the exact purpose of those Demon Spirits.
“If our Soul Pet Masters sign soul contracts with Emperor-level Demon Spirits, they can directly enter Soul Master Grade,” Chu Mu explained the value of the Demon Spirits to Liu Binglan.
Joy instantly appeared on Liu Binglan’s face – Chu Mu’s discovery would resolve their most vexing problem, which had greatly constrained the development of New Moon Land!
“What about Jinrou, isn’t she always with you? Ask her now,” Liu Binglan suggested.
“She was tired from the journey and has gone to rest at the Nightmare Demon Palace,” Chu Mu explained.
Chu Mu thought to himself that he had apparently annoyed the Little Princess just now and decided it might be better to wait a few days until her mood improved before approaching her again.
“What about the resource issue?” Chu Mu continued.
“As for resources, since our external forces are currently obstructed and cannot make investments, we are not in urgent need at the moment,” Liu Binglan elaborated.
“I have brought back a batch of Xuan Objects below level five. Take them to the Great Hall later and discuss with the Elders how to distribute and manage them,” Chu Mu offered the Space Ring to Liu Binglan.
Honorable Lady Liu Binglan nodded and accepted the Space Ring.
“Sang Ying is now willing to serve us, and since Our New Moon Land is also coastal, it’s necessary to build a powerful navy,” Chu Mu said.
“I’ve already started preparing for this. The naval base is established in Wind and Rain City, with Elder Mei taking charge. Additionally, we’ve pardoned Xiong Shou Yuan Sui by half, and I’ve assigned him to Wind and Rain City to be responsible for setting up the navy. By now, there should already be some scale to it,” Liu Binglan explained.
Chu Mu hadn’t expected that Liu Binglan had already considered this aspect. It seemed she had thought about the development of the territory much more comprehensively than he had.
After having breakfast with Liu Binglan, Chu Mu went back to his own private courtyard to rest.
Normally upon returning, he could cuddle with Ye Qingzi’s soft and fragrant body for a good sleep, but with Ye Qingzi not in Wanxiang City, Chu Mu could only hug the quilt to sleep.
…
The morning light streamed through the colored windows, falling into the grand conference hall as always. The core members of the palace high-ranking officials sat in order according to their different levels: Elder, Elder, General, Commander, Holy Guard Leader, Palace Master, World Lord, city master…
The central main seat was still vacant, with Liu Binglan sitting next to it.
At first, the loyal strong ones from outside were puzzled as to why Honorable Lady Liu Binglan, who was clearly the top decision-maker, did not sit in the main seat.
But later, as the main seat remained vacant from beginning to end, the external strong ones also got used to it.
Among the external strong ones, a middle-aged man named Peng Tu was the leader.
He was once a Boundary Commander but later faced exclusion. Fortunately, he left his post to become a wandering Soul Pet Master, traveling to Spring Realm where he heard the news of an independent land and thus came to train.
Peng Tu was among the first batch of external powerful individuals to enter the Holy Land; he said he gained the greatest benefits.
Soon after, Peng Tu took a liking to a female Palace Master from the Nightmare Demon Palace, and the two married, with the female Palace Master already pregnant. Thus Peng Tu became one of the palace’s own.
Peng Tu was now the highest Commander of New Moon Land. Many external powerful individuals with intentions of probing New Moon Land were deterred by him; after all, Peng Tu was already well-known as a Soul Master Grade expert when he entered New Moon Land.
“Teng Lang, Shen Mo and the issue of the young strong ones at Soul Master Grade have found a solution,” Liu Binglan spoke out.
This statement from Liu Binglan made everyone sit up straight, their faces showing surprise and delight!
“What’s the solution?” Jiang Demon Emperor asked first.
“Jiang Demon Emperor, have you forgotten? In your Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, there is still a clan of Demon Spirits,” Liu Binglan said.
“I remember, but what about those Demon Spirits?” Jiang Demon Emperor asked, puzzled.
When she mentioned Demon Spirits, the highest Commander Peng Tu showed a look of utter astonishment and spoke out, “Your Highness the Venerate, are you referring to the Demon Spirits? Of the Ghost Race type?”
Liu Binglan nodded, noting that Peng Tu from the outside knew quite a lot.
Seeing Peng Tu’s expression, everyone turned their gaze to him, as the rest present did not know the function of the Demon Spirits.
“The Demon Spirits are the dream Soul Pets for Peak Soul Emperors to sign soul contracts with. Signing a soul contract with one allows a Peak Soul Emperor to directly enter the Soul Controller realm. Such creatures are beyond price in the outside world, as they would be instantly auctioned off once they appear. I can’t believe that your New Moon Land actually possesses Demon Spirits, and a whole clan of them at that!” Even the usually composed Peng Tu blurted out these words, and anyone could see the excitement in this Commander’s heart!
Hearing Peng Tu’s explanation, Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and others were ecstatic, as this would solve one of their biggest problems. As long as they could step into the Soul Controller realm, with the resources the Holy Land could provide, their strength would skyrocket!
“In addition, King Chu has brought back some Xuan Objects for us. These Xuan Objects will be distributed to the young strong ones like Shen Mo and Teng Lang. With Demon Spirits on hand, you all will very much need the Xuan Objects, of course, you’ll also need to spend more time in hard training,” Liu Binglan’s gaze landed on Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and the others.
Saying so, Liu Binglan took out the Space Ring and handed it to Elder Liu to distribute.
Elder Liu took the ring and instinctively probed inside.
At this probe, Elder Liu’s complexion instantly stiffened.
After a moment, Elder Liu hurriedly secured the ring and asked Liu Binglan through a Mental Sound, “Binglan, did you give me the wrong ring, by chance? Isn’t this the Space Ring for the Holy Land’s main warehouse?”
Liu Binglan, puzzled by the question, replied, “The Holy Land’s main warehouse ring is kept by the Old Man of Cloud Gate, not with me. This is the one Chu Mu gave me this morning.”
After Liu Binglan finished speaking, Elder Liu was immediately shocked!
This ring… The Xuan Objects inside this ring were simply too numerous!!
