Ye Liuyun discovered that although the golden egg absorbed energy very quickly, it grew very slowly. And it seemed that the bigger it got, the slower it absorbed energy.
After he fed the golden egg a source of energy, the speed at which it absorbed energy slowed down a lot. However, no matter how slow it was, it was still much faster than its previous speed.
"It seems that the more energy it lacks, the faster it absorbs. Then I might as well absorb more and see if that's the case!"
Ye Liuyun thought of this and started practicing again.
This time, he refined all the energy into his divine essence, and was able to improve the quality of his divine essence.
As soon as the quality of his divine energy increased, his realm would immediately break through. Moreover, the energy required for widening and repairing the meridians could be directly supplied by the golden egg, so his breakthrough this time did not feel at all dangerous.
No.
His realm also successfully broke through to the early stage of the fourth level of Taixu. Moreover, after he broke through the realm, the energy needed to consolidate the realm was also provided by the golden egg.
After he consolidated his realm, the golden egg was only about 50% of its original size. And because he did not provide resources for the golden egg during cultivation, the golden egg had almost sucked up the entire Gufeng Mountain.
All the trees on the mountain are dead.
Ye Liuyun did not immediately provide resources for it to absorb, but wanted to see where it could draw energy from. Soon, his golden eyes discovered that the golden egg was drawing energy from the original power of the planet.
"I'll go! This guy really dares to do it!"
Ye Liuyun immediately gave it some of its original power to absorb, fearing that it would drain the planet's original power.
However, he finally understood the characteristics of this golden egg. After the golden egg became smaller, it absorbed energy more intensely. Moreover, it absorbed everything. If it did not return to its original size, it would continue to absorb it.
Ye Liuyun estimated that this was also the reason why the flower python didn't suck it dry all at once, because it was afraid that it would suck this place dry and attract other people's attention.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was time to leave here, lest the changes in Gufeng Mountain attract other people's attention.
However, he did not dare to put this golden egg in his own spatial world. Instead, he called Chen Qinan out and asked him to put the golden egg into his spatial world and let him take it out when he needed it.
Of course, he did not let the golden egg suck up the world of his space. Instead, he gave him a lot of resources and asked the golden egg to absorb the resources he gave him first, and then wait until the resources were insufficient.
Later, Ye Liuyun took Chen Qinan into the space world and returned to Lone Peak City with a group of monsters.
The ferocious beasts he conquered, including black panthers, golden lions, white wolves, and bull lions, were all taken into the space world by him, and there was no need to show them.
He only left a green snake by his side, making it smaller and wrapped around his arm, hiding his realm. The green snake at the eighth level was highly poisonous and was enough to deal with ordinary dangers in Lone Peak City.
Ye Liuyun finally broke through and practiced for more than ten days. Coupled with the previous battles and training, he had left Lone Peak City for nearly a month.
The martial arts cultivators in the city thought he would never come back. However, someone recently discovered that Gufeng Mountain has changed its color. It used to be dark green from a distance, but now it has turned khaki.
Many people speculated that it might be related to Ye Liuyun and the others. But before they could inquire about the situation, Ye Liuyun and the others came back.
When Ye Liuyun and the others came back, they used a sixth-level flying boat because they were worried that the changes in Gufeng Mountain would alert the city lord Gan Lin and escape in advance.
As soon as they returned quickly, not to mention that Gan Lin could not confirm that the changes in Gufeng Mountain were related to Ye Liuyun. Even if he could confirm it, it would be too late to escape.
After Ye Liuyun and the others came back, they also went straight to the city lord's mansion, attracting many martial arts cultivators in the city to watch.
When he arrived outside the city lord's palace, Ye Liuyun directly took out the seventh-level flower python and showed it to the martial arts cultivator, so that the city lord Gan Lin could not refuse even if he wanted to. The huge body and special patterns on the flower python looked like those on Gufeng Mountain.
.
The martial arts cultivators immediately thought that the changes in Gufeng Mountain might have been caused by Ye Liuyun and the others.
The face of the city lord Gan Lin also changed, and then he immediately changed his attitude, greeted him with a smile, and let Ye Liuyun and the others enter the house to chat.
Ye Liuyun refused directly and demanded the reward on the spot.
"City Lord Gan, we don't have to go in and sit down. Let's settle the settlement here. It just so happens that everyone can be witnesses. We are just mercenaries. We use money to do things. The Lord of the City does not need to be polite to us little people. Now that the task has been completed, the Lord of the City
You won’t be able to get the bounty, right?”
"How...how could this happen? I can definitely get the bounty, but your mission was completed too suddenly. Thirty sources of power are quite a lot. You have to give me some time to get it together. Why don't you get there first?
Sit down in the hall for a while, and I'll go get some resources for you?"
Gan Lin tried his best to let Ye Liuyun enter the house so that he could delay Ye Liuyun and cheat.
But Ye Liuyun was not fooled at all. He just said loudly: "City Lord, the rules of mercenary missions are to submit the mission and get the bounty. You released the mission and said you were not prepared. Isn't this against the rules?"
But since you are the city lord, I will give you half a day's grace. After half a day, if you still can't come up with the money, then don't blame us for being rude!"
After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he took the mercenaries and sat directly in front of the City Lord's Mansion to rest, without entering the City Lord's Mansion at all. He also threw the seventh-level flower python in front of the City Lord's Mansion without putting it away.
Everyone can see that he has completed the task, and the city lord's palace cannot pay for it.
For a time, the martial arts cultivators in the entire city were shocked, and more and more people gathered here.
"If the city lord can't come up with the money, do you think Ye Liuyun will kill him directly and become the city lord himself?"
"That's not possible. The Wolfhound mercenary group destroyed several mercenary groups in a row, killed Ding Yuantang, and defeated Ouyang He. Why don't they dare to do it!"
"He must dare, otherwise why would he make such a big fuss! Let's just wait and watch the excitement and change the city lord!"
"Yes, this city lord wanted to send a mission to trick people, but he ended up tricking himself! He deserves it, let's see how he ends up!"
City Lord Gan Lin was helpless at this moment. He didn't expect that Ye Liuyun could come back, and that so many people came back.
"Um, Captain Ye, can we discuss it and give him a little more time?" He had no choice but to shamelessly discuss it with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun did not reply to him, but released Cheng Huofeng and asked him loudly: "Cheng Huofeng, how many people died this time when we went there, and what level were they at?"
"Back to boss, when we went this time, eight people died, four of them were at the sixth level, and four were at the fifth level, including Jiang Hu, Chang Hai and others!" Cheng Huofeng also said loudly, obviously speaking to everyone.
Others listen.
