Chapter 1273: Main Storage Spatial Ring?
When Chu Mu entered the palace, the sun was rising on the east side, dropping rays of orange light onto the palaces.
Thinking back, this training took quite a while. First, he entered binding wind sacred region to train and ran into the Universe Ice Gate. Then, he went to Eternal Ocean demon realm right after visiting Wanxiang City. It had at least been a year.
The first thing back to Wanxiang City was naturally to report to Liu Binglan.
Don’t think that Liu Binglan is always calm and composed with her queen like manners. If Chu Mu didn’t come say hi to her the moment he came back, Liu Binglan’s complaints would be bugging Chu Mu forever.
Chu Mu went to the female supreme palace and saw the servants preparing a morning treat. Chu Mu sat down while Liu Binglan was still washing up and getting ready for the day and took some of the treats to give to Mo Xie on his shoulder.
Of Chu Mu’s soul pets, those interested in human foods were Mo Xie, Little Hidden Dragon, and Dead Dream. The rest of his soul pets had no interest in treats and were only excited when Ye Qingzi made treats with certain type effects.
Chu Mu grabbed some treats and cakes to give Mo Xie, while he split the rest between little hidden dragon and Dead Dream.
In a moment, Liu binglan walked out seemingly slightly tired.
She slowly walked over but found Chu Mu eating already and immediately smiled, her tiredness disappearing.
“You’re back…. You’ve been hungry for a few days huh? How did you finish it all already?” Liu Binglan saw the empty plates on the table and, though she was confused, her smile became even broader.
“Mo Xie got peckish.” Chu Mu didn’t eat much himself, but little hidden dragon, Mo Xie, and Dead Dream were all huge eaters. They could have finished the food no matter how much there was.
After Liu Binglan told the servants to go prep some more, she sat down and asked Chu Mu about his trip to Eternal Ocean.
Coming to Liu Binglan naturally meant he had to report his experiences fully.
Chu Mu walked through his experiences briefly, causing Liu Binglan to be surprised. She didn’t expect so much to happen around Night.
“You seem tired, anything troubling you?” Chu Mu asked.
“I’m not sure who always is against New Moon Ground. Our palace faction sent people to thirty cities of cloud realm and also sent people to thirty cities in Quan Realm, yet no matter if we’re selling, recruiting, buying, spreading the news, we’re always met with ferocious resistance from the same faction.” Liu Binglan said.
The palace faction wanted to expand to outer realms, but clearly someone was trying to stop the palace factions’ development.
New Moon Ground wasn't the same it was a few years ago. As the sacred realm was opened up, more and more experts found rare items and xuan items in them. Many entered emperor rank, and a few even entered dominator rank.
The external experts constantly developed these resources, allowing the palace faction to gain a lot and create a large group of dominator rank experts. Experts appearing in new moon ground with pseudo dominator or dominator rank are more than seventh rank realms.
At the same time, the nine sacred realms still had many more unknown places. Slowly, some wandering soul pet trainers had joined new moon ground. In palace faction, many of them had already sworn their loyalty to New Moon Ground. Thus, comparing dominator rank strength purely, New Moon Ground may be beyond cloud realm already. After all, Cloud Realm’s only source of resources was Guangtong Bewildering World. They couldn’t be like nine sacred realms, having such a massive output.
“Also, because of our blood, none of us can enter spirit dominator rank. Teng Lang, Shen Mo, pang Yue, Xiao Hai, Qing Yutong, Qian Qing, Wan Ning….. They all have great potential and are slowly getting pseudo or low class dominator ranks, but….” Liu Binglan said.
This had caused Liu Binglan a lot of pain. New Moon Ground’ blood determined that they can’t easily surpass spirit dominator. Without reaching there, New Moon Ground’s expansion must rely on outer forces. Yet, it is hard to completely trust outer forces.
“How many are there?” Chu Mu asked.
Teng Lang, Shen Mo and the others were truly the core people that were going to take over New Moon Ground. However, if their strength couldn't improve further, there was no way he could restrict these outer realm experts.
“Thirteen people, the ones I mentioned are the stronger ones.” Liu Binglan said.
“Little princess can help us with some devil souls.” Chu Mu said.
“Devil soul? You mean the group of spectral organisms you brought last time?” Liu Binglan only knew that Chu Mu settled them in nightmare sacred realm but didn’t know what they actually did.
“If a soul pet trainer signs a soul pact with an emperor rank devil soul, they can enter spirit dominator rank.” Chu Mu explained the value of devil soulsl to Liu Binglan.
Liu BInglan was immediately surprised with such good news. This was her greatest problem, but she didn't think that the devil souls Chu Mu brought home last time would solve New Moon Ground’s greatest developmental problem!
“Where’s Jin Rou, isn’t she always beside you? You go ask her.” Liu Binglan asked.
“She’s tired from the trip and is resting in nightmare palace.” Chu Mu explained.
It looked like the little princess was angry, so Chu Mu felt that it was better if he went when her mood changed for the better.
“And the resource problem?” Chu Mu asked.
“Resources, because we’re restricted by outer realms, we can’t invest much of our resources so we aren’t in a shortage.” Liu Binglan said.
“I brought back xuan items under fifth rank, you can bring it to the main palace later to discuss how to split it up.” Chu Mu handed a spatial ring to Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan nodded and removed his spatial ring.
“Sang Ying is willing to stay loyal to us. Our new Moon ground is also a coastal realm so we need a powerful navy.” Chu mu said.
“I’ve already started preparing for this. The navy was set up in Fengyu City and Elder Hai is in charge of it. We also half forgave hero chief Yuan Sui and sent him over to Fengyu City to supervise the setup of the navy. It should be sizeable now.” Liu Binglan said.
Chu Mu indeed didn't expect Liu Binglan to have thought this far already. It looked like Liu Binglan was much better at thinking long term than he was.
After having breakfast with LiU Bignlan, Chu Mu returned to his courtyard to rest.
Usually, he could hug Ye Qingzi’s soft body and sleep well, but with her not in the city, Chu Mu could only hug a bunch of blankets.
……
The morning glow passed through the stained glass windows of the meeting palace and into the hall. Like usual, all elite members of the palace faction were sat according to their rank.
The seat at the center remained empty, while Liu Binglan sat right beside it.
At first, those that came from outer realm to swear loyalty were confused at this. Female supreme Liu Binglan seemed to be the highest authority, yet why wasn't she sitting on the main seat?
But later, as they found the main seat constantly empty, these outer experts were no longer weirded out.
Of the outer experts, a middle aged man called Peng Tu was their leader.
He once was a border commander but was forced to leave and became a solo soul pet trainer. When he was wandering about, he heard of the independent land and came to train here.
He was one of the first outer experts to enter the sacred realms, so he truly earned the most benefits.
Soon after, Peng Tu got attracted to a female palace master in Nightmare Palace and they married each other. This way, Peng Tu became a true part of the palace faction.
Peng Tu was the highest general of New Moon Ground now. Many people who want to exploit New Moon Ground haven’t dared to do anything under his lead. After all, Peng Yu was a famous spirit dominator rank expert even before he entered New Moon Ground.
“We’ve found a way to help Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and the other young experts become spirit dominators.” Liu Binglan said.
With this sentence, everyone sitting at the edge of their seats showed surprise and joy!
“What way?” Nightmare Emperor Jiang asked first.
“Haven’t you forgotten that your Nightmare Sacred Region still hosts a group of devil souls?” Liu Binglan said.
“I heard. What about those devil souls?” Nightmare emperor jiang asked.
Speaking of devil souls, the highest general Peng Tu was shocked and asked, “Female supreme, you’re speaking of the devil soul? Ghost type devil soul?”
Liu Binglan nodded. It looked like Peng Tu knew a lot from outer realm.
Seeing Peng Tu like this, everyone’s gaze fell on him. Most people there didn’t know what a devil soul did.
“Devil souls are the dream soul pet for top tier emperor ranks. Signing a soul pact with them can push a top tier emperor rank directly into spirit dominator rank. Such a thing has always been priceless in outer realms. The moment one appears in the market, it is instantly auctioned off. I really can’t believe New Moon Ground has devil souls, and a whole devil soul species at that!!” The always calm Peng Tu blurted all the information out, revealing the excitement he was feeling!
After hearing Peng Tu explain, Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and the others were all elated. This solved a huge issue for them. As long as they could step into spirit dominator rank, their strengths will skyrocket with the resources in the sacred realms!
“Also, King Chu brought back some xuan items that he wants to spread between the younger experts. Once you have devil souls, you’ll need a lot of xuan items. Of course, you still need to put a lot of effort into training diligently.” Liu Binglan’s gaze fell on Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and the others.
As she spoke, she took out the spatial ring and handed it to Elder Liu to split up.
Elder Liu took over the ring and subconsciously checked inside it.
This check caused Elder Liu’s face to stiffen.
After a moment, Elder Liu quickly put the ring away safely and asked Liu Binglan with mental voice, “Binglan, did you mess up and give me the sacred realm main storage ring?”
Liu Binglan was confused by the seemingly random question. “The sacred realm main storage ring is always with cloud gate elder and not with me. Chu Mu gave that one to me this morning.”
After Liu Binglan said that, Elder Liu’s face was replaced with an expression of utter shock!
The ring…. The ring really had way too many xuan items!!
