The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 2089: Guest
Jing Yan also had a good impression of Ying Zuo. This person’s status in this region was undoubtedly very high, yet he did not exhibit any obvious dissolute behavior.
"Brother Jing Yan, if you don’t have any particular place you wish to go temporarily, why not stay in Divine Martial City for a while? As I mentioned earlier, I have always enjoyed making friends with powerful cultivators. If Brother Jing Yan doesn’t mind, why not come to me and become my retainer?" Ying Zuo said, seizing the opportunity.
His intention from the start was to win over Jing Yan. It could be said that he had this idea from the moment Jing Yan fought with the Ghost Pattern Beast.
If not for this thought, no matter how wealthy he was, he wouldn’t have specially invited a stranger for a meal. This meal was not cheap.
At this moment, Jing Yan let out a slight sigh of relief.
He had been speculating about Ying Zuo’s intentions, and of course, Jing Yan didn’t believe Ying Zuo was enthusiastic about him for no reason. It seemed that Ying Zuo did want him to serve under him.
Becoming Ying Zuo’s retainer was actually an option. Jing Yan, new to the Immortal Domain, indeed had no specific destination. Temporarily settling here with Ying Zuo was a good choice for Jing Yan.
"Thank you, Seventh Young Master, for thinking so highly of me," Jing Yan said.
"Haha, Brother Jing Yan, you are straightforward. Hmm, in a moment, I’ll take you to see my place. Rest assured, the treatment in terms of resources is absolutely not a problem. I, Ying Zuo, have never been a stingy person. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will certainly fulfill it," Ying Zuo said, evidently very pleased.
Leaving the restaurant, Ying Zuo took Jing Yan back to his residence. Ying Zuo had his own residence.
The children of Lord Ying Zhu all had their own residences; they did not live in the same residence as their father.
Ying Zuo’s residence was not very large, but upon returning, Ying Zuo immediately arranged living quarters for Jing Yan. He also gathered the other retainers to introduce them to Jing Yan.
Under Ying Zuo’s command were more than ten retainers, among whom the two strongest had reached the All Things Realm. The other retainers were all at the Taoist Realm. Among these retainers, Jing Yan was not very outstanding, but from appearance alone, he seemed the youngest.
These retainers were mostly friendly towards Jing Yan, with some even asking where he came from, which Jing Yan casually brushed off.
The retainer who left the deepest impression on Jing Yan was an old man carrying a black wine pot, the size of half a person. This old man seemed to drink a few sips wherever he went and was one of Ying Zuo’s All Things Realm cultivators.
That evening, a maid from Ying Zuo’s residence delivered a batch of resources to Jing Yan’s quarters.
This was a batch of items known as Black Crystal Stones.
They were commonly used resources for cultivators in the Immortal Domain during cultivation. There were many kinds of commonly used resources, and Black Crystal Stones were considered relatively high-level. Generally, practitioners at the All Things Realm would ordinarily use Black Crystal Stones to cultivate and enhance their strength.
On the first day, the Black Crystal Stones that Ying Zuo sent to Jing Yan amounted to a full one hundred pieces. Jing Yan already knew that Black Crystal Stones were relatively precious resources. Ying Zuo sending a hundred pieces at once was enough to show that he was indeed a very generous person, at least towards his retainers.
After the maid left, Jing Yan attempted to cultivate using the Black Crystal Stones.
"The speed of divine power’s enhancement is really fast!" Jing Yan was slightly moved after using one of the Black Crystal Stones.
The effect of these Black Crystal Stones was much better than the Star Stones from his Chaos World. And because the Power of Laws differed to a certain extent, the resources formed in the Immortal Domain were also different from those in the Chaos World. In the Immortal Domain, even using Star Stones was difficult to absorb because they could not integrate with the Power of Laws between heaven and earth.
"With these resources, I should soon reach the All Things Realm!" Jing Yan thought to himself.
His breakthrough in realms faced no obstacles. After all, in his own Chaos World, he had already reached the Title Controller Level.
The Power of Laws in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain, although different from the Chaos World, leads to the same destination. For someone at Jing Yan’s level, adapting to the Power of Laws in the Immortal Domain is easy.
In other words, in the Immortal Domain, as long as there are enough resources, it is only a matter of time before Jing Yan re-enters the Title Controller Level.
In the Immortal Domain, the Title Controller is also referred to as the Nether Sky Realm. Ying Zuo’s father, Ying Zhu, is at the Controller Level of the Nether Sky Realm but far from reaching the stage of a Title Controller.
The Nether Sky Realm of the Title Controller is close to the Dao Master in the Immortal Domain. In the Immortal Domain, the Dao Master is revered as Immortal Venerable or Demi Immortal.
In the Mixed Element Immortal Domain, the term ’Immortal’ holds unparalleled deterrence. Ordinary cultivators dare not mention the word ’Immortal’.
The true Immortal is only the Immortal Emperor. And the Immortal Emperor is the one who sets the order of the Immortal Domain and is above all. To the Immortal Emperor, even all living beings are like ants.
Below the Immortal is mortal. The Immortal Emperor is the Immortal.
At the realm of the Immortal Emperor, the level of life is fundamentally different from that of cultivators.
On the first day of cultivation, Jing Yan used ten Black Crystal Stones.
After cultivation ended, Jing Yan performed some deductions on his own.
"Once I use up this hundred Black Crystal Stones, I should almost be able to recover to the All Things Realm level," Jing Yan nodded lightly.
Using ten Black Crystal Stones a day, it would take about ten days for him to recover to the All Things Realm level.
In his own Chaos World, Jing Yan couldn’t cultivate, but upon arriving in the Immortal Domain, his cultivation speed was unparalleled. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Several days passed, and on this day, Jing Yan went to see the Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo.
"Old Brother Jing Yan, how’s it going? Are you adapting well here?" Ying Zuo immediately met with Jing Yan and warmly greeted him.
"It’s pretty good," Jing Yan replied.
"Haha, as long as you’re adapting well. I was just worried you might not be comfortable here. By the way, is that batch of Black Crystal Stones enough? If not, just let me know, and I’ll have someone get you more," Ying Zuo said cheerfully.
He spoke lightly, but even for someone like Ying Zuo, it wasn’t as if a hundred Black Crystal Stones were worthless. He was quite wealthy, with plenty of resources, but Black Crystal Stones were not inexhaustible. This statement was mostly polite. Of course, he couldn’t have imagined how quickly Jing Yan would use the Black Crystal Stones.
Under normal circumstances, even practitioners at the All Things Realm could use a hundred Black Crystal Stones for a decade or more.
"There are still some Black Crystal Stones left. Seventh Young Master, I’m here because I want to request a spell," Jing Yan said, looking at Ying Zuo.
For the cultivators of the Immortal Domain, the means of attack they used were generally called spells. Jing Yan had not yet cultivated any spells. The Secret Techniques he mastered in the Chaos World were inconvenient to use in the Immortal Domain. If he can cultivate spells of the Immortal Domain, that would be his best option.
