Chapter 778: Lu Wang's Matter Resolved, Yuan Family's Land
Chapter 778: Lu Wang’s Matter Resolved, Yuan Family’s Land
The matter concerning Lu Wang caused quite a stir. The Spirit Emperor naturally arranged for medical personnel to treat him, but not only were they unable to cure him, they also inflicted even more terrifying and inhuman suffering upon him.
After much effort, no solution was found, and they could only seek out renowned physicians.
During this period, the Phoenix of the Fire repeatedly flew back and forth, trying to find Qin Muye.
The sequence of events was quite clear: Lu Wang’s betrayal was exposed, which led to the retaliation from the Great Law Golden Immortal. The appointed physicians and spirit masters were unable to resolve the issue, so they could only take Lu Wang back to the capital to see if the Spirit Emperor had a way to treat him.
As a result, Lu Wang’s residence was left empty.
As for Qin Muye, the Phoenix of the Fire searched for over half a month without finding him and could only leave dejectedly.
It didn’t even know where Qin Muye was, and staying any longer would have been pointless.
In fact, when Qin Muye learned that Lu Wang was being sent back to the capital for treatment, he had already fled, as there was no way to proceed further.
He was unsure whether the Spirit Emperor would expend enough resources to save Lu Wang, but he knew that the subsequent plan had utterly failed, and Fan Hua definitely wouldn’t be able to infiltrate Lu Wang’s residence.
However, after all this turmoil, even if Lu Wang were to recover, he would still be half-dead. More importantly, his strength would gradually decline. Even if he recovered, he would likely never return to the 7th Rank Golden Immortal realm; staying at the 6th Rank would be considered very fortunate.
If he were to suffer further setbacks on the journey, he might even drop to the 5th Rank, which would be even more unbearable than death.
Of course, apart from the issue of his strength, the brick Qin Muye had thrown also crippled his ability to control spirit creatures. If he were still a spirit controller, it wouldn’t have been a big problem, but since he was now a spirit cultivator, he couldn’t use any power without risking his life, even after recovery.
On this point, Qin Muye was very confident.
"The Mirror Demon is evolving into a Mirror Immortal. From the current situation, the evolution secret technique derived by the main body is quite reliable, it’s just that the time is a bit long."
According to Qin Muye’s estimate, the entire evolution process would take about fifteen days. At first glance, it might seem like only half a month, but for Qin Muye, that half a month had been filled with mischief.
"In other words, I don’t have any spirit creatures to use right now. Tsk, I’ll have to be a bit more quiet and not cause trouble."
Although in most cases, he hadn’t used the Mirror Demon much beyond using it to escape.
"But if the Mirror Demon evolves into a Mirror Immortal this time, it should at least reach the 7th Rank."
The Mirror Demon in Qin Muye’s possession initially had a strength of only the 1st Rank, almost negligible. However, with continuous improvement over time, along with a large amount of heavenly materials and the evolution secret technique, reaching the 7th Rank shouldn’t be too difficult.
An 8th Rank avatar using materials made by a 9th Rank main body to create a 7th Rank spirit creature shouldn’t be that hard; otherwise, what was the point of his existence?
Moreover, the 7th Rank would only be the initial level after evolution. With further cultivation, it could also reach the 8th Rank.
Otherwise, how could he compete with just the strength of a 7th Rank? With two 8th Ranks already being a precarious situation, having one 8th Rank and one 7th Rank against five 9th Ranks would be suicidal.
"Even with two 8th Ranks, it’s still pretty much suicide." Qin Muye’s face fell.
He wasn’t sure what the main body’s plan was, but he was certain that after completing the plan, he and the Mirror Immortal could both reach the 9th Rank under the blessings of the Spirit Realm.
This sounded a bit absurd, even if he wanted it, would the Spirit Emperor agree?
Such a matter would certainly cause a significant stir.
"Sir, your dishes are ready." The waiter placed the last dish on the table and reminded him.
Qin Muye nodded, not paying attention to the waiter, and instead leaned against the side, looking down at the bustling street.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly saw a huge commotion on the street.
Following the source of the chaos, he saw a young man recklessly riding a heavily armored scale horse through the crowded street, trampling many people in the process.
"Whew~ Who is this guy, so arrogant."
Qin Muye couldn't help but take a deep breath. Over these days, he had seen arrogance, such as from that Yuan Sanye, whose arrogance was based on his own strength and confidence. If it weren't for Qin Muye that day, everything would have gone as planned.
"But that young man isn't very old, and his strength isn't strong, just at the Mortal Realm."
"That's the legitimate eldest grandson of Prince Yi. He has been arrogant and domineering since birth. This isn't the first time this has happened. Sir, you must be from out of town," the waiter who hadn't left yet said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Indeed, Qin Muye had now found himself on Yuan Family's territory. After all, he had no relatives in the Spirit Realm, so he could only temporarily come to the Yuan Family.
"Prince Yi's grandson? Is there still the rule of law? This is blatant law-breaking." Qin Muye could see that Prince Yi was not like Prince Lu, who had enough popularity among the common people.
But thinking about it, Prince Yi's situation was probably similar to Prince Lu's, both of them having been marginalized by the great clans. However, Prince Lu had ambition and ability, and being skilled in management, he almost turned the tide.
But Prince Yi, judging by his appearance, seemed to have given up entirely.
"The prince's offspring is the law. It's said that Prince Yi was very favored before he took his fief. His current reckless behavior is normal. Even the people in the government are afraid of him, let alone us," the waiter sighed.
From his expression, it was clear he had suffered under Prince Yi for a long time, but it didn't help. This attitude made the Yuan Family feel very secure.
"You have a point," Qin Muye didn't refute the waiter's statement. Whether it was the great clans or the Great Spirit Dynasty, they turned a blind eye and deaf ear to such situations. After all, Prince Yi was treated like a pig, and as long as he didn't cause trouble, the deaths of a few commoners were of no consequence.
The combination of the extraordinary great clans and the feudal society created this bizarre situation.
Prince Yi's strength was not as great as Prince Lu's. Even with the resources, he only reached the Immortal Realm. If it weren't for the Great Spirit Dynasty's wealth and the requirement that all fief-holding princes must have Immortal Realm strength, Prince Yi's strength would likely be even lower.
"Is the guest a spirit master?" the waiter asked again.
"Um, yes, otherwise why would I come here," Qin Muye didn't deny it.
In the Great Spirit Dynasty, ordinary people were not allowed to leave their registered residence unless they were spirit masters.
Fortunately, the threshold to become a spirit master was relatively low, and there were usually ways to become a wandering spirit master.
However, most ordinary people couldn't reach these ways, so they couldn't cross this threshold.
"That's my mistake. Our boss has a rule: every spirit master who dines at our inn gets a signature dish, the Crab Spirit Stew. Please wait a moment, I'll have the kitchen pick a fat crab for you," the waiter hurriedly said.
Such a kind spirit master was rare. Most of the spirit masters he had seen before were either guests of Prince Yi's mansion or the Yuan Family, all of them looking down on ordinary people and not bothering to calculate with them.
"No need, it would be a waste. Maybe next time," Qin Muye declined the offer, not really caring whether he got it or not.
He was satisfied if they offered it, but whether to accept it was another matter. At his level, attitude was more important than these small favors.
"Alright, I'll definitely serve you two fat crabs next time. This time, I'll note it down for you," the waiter, seeing Qin Muye's expression, didn't insist.
"Enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just let me know."
The waiter then turned and went downstairs.
Qin Muye didn't pay much attention, as they were just passing strangers. But soon, he noticed something interesting.
The legitimate eldest grandson of Prince Yi also entered this inn.
'Just finished causing trouble for Prince Lu, and now I have to cause trouble for Prince Yi?' Qin Muye wondered.
He suspected that his protagonist aura might be acting up again. It wasn't something he could control; it was passive, not active. It would be difficult to interfere unless the Mirror Immortal successfully evolved, and he could use the spirit creature technique through the Mirror Immortal to indirectly interfere.
'Well, since I'm here, I might as well settle in.'
Qin Muye watched as Prince Yi's grandson, accompanied by a group of bodyguard spirit masters, entered a private room on the third floor, not stopping on the second floor.
