Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 229 Extraordinary

Chapter 229 Extraordinary
Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, Fang Qiyun, and the others left the Misty Forest and rested for two days.

After gathering the necessary supplies for their journey to the Daylight Forest, the group set off again.

However, before they set off, Jiang Ran sent them two more bottles of lucky oil.

With the help of these two bottles of divine oil, Ji Fuyou felt a slight reduction in mental strain when using the Wuji Sword.

"The load on the Wuji Sword, the load on the Purple Gem, and the load on the Dragon Ring can all be reduced by more than half. However, these three pieces of equipment alone will require more than twenty bottles of Lucky Oil, which is quite a large consumption, and the output of Lucky Oil is not very high..."

Even after returning to Jiangtao Pavilion, Ji Fuyou still couldn't stop thinking about it.

At this moment, he even had the idea of encouraging all intermediate hunters to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes to collect the Lucky Oil.

The mutated pythons in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes are not very strong, slightly stronger than ordinary orcs, but far weaker than orc warriors. Without the mist, a team of intermediate-level martial artists could hunt them down.

pity……

The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is Zhu Long's territory.

If this really causes a big commotion, this Martial Saint might just book the entire area, forbidding any hunters from venturing in, and using his dominance over the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes to monopolize the production of Lucky Oil.

"We can only secretly organize more people to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

While pondering, Ji Fuyou took out his phone and dialed Su Zhen's number.

"President Su, could you please come over here?"

"Okay, I'll be there in 30 minutes."

Su Zhen's voice came from inside very quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Fuyou dialed Tang Yue's number again.

Before long, Tang Yue and Tang Rong arrived at his residence first.

"team leader."

The two men looked on with utmost respect.

Although Ji Fuyou mainly observed them during this period and never took them to the mist for training, the two were extremely grateful for their decision to join Ji Fuyou.

Because they watched almost live as Ji Fuyou rose from a secondary-level mental energy user to where he is today, standing at the pinnacle of the Federation as a mental master.

For someone who is merely a high-level martial artist and a mid-level mental energy user to serve a mental master is an immense honor.
Just because their names are on Ji Fuyou's team roster, as long as they don't act recklessly, no one in the entire Starlight City, or even the entire Chuzhou, will dare to touch them in the slightest.

"Well, I have two things to take care of. Please take a look."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he handed them the prepared materials.

Tang Yue and Tang Rong quickly began to examine it.

Su Zhen also arrived in a hurry while they were reviewing the documents.

"President Ji."

The president was equally respectful in front of Ji Fuyou.

He had long guessed that Ji Fuyou would seize the opportunity and rise to great heights sooner or later.

As news of Ji Fuyou's attainment of the status of a spiritual master spread throughout the Federation, when that day finally arrived, Su Zhen was overjoyed at his decision to take the initiative to approach him.

Right now, he has an incredibly precise understanding of his own position and is determined to cling to this powerful figure no matter what.

Even if the orders from the Spiritual Power Alliance were to be issued, if they contradicted Master Ji's orders, he would still prioritize reporting to and seeking instructions from Master Ji.

"President Su looks to be in good spirits."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

"Thanks to Chairman Ji's help, my mental strength has improved again. After a period of settling down and completing the crystallization of mental strength, I will be able to take the exam for senior professional title."

Su Zhen responded with a smile.

He didn't use the title "Master Ji," but instead used "Chairman," a more formal way of addressing the two of them that actually made them feel closer.

"Have the Golden Shield Group's forces not caused much trouble?"

"Those forces, knowing that the actions of those people have aroused your dissatisfaction, naturally dare not utter a single word of dissent."

Su Zhen laughed and said, "Besides... thanks to Chairman Ji's help, my mental strength is far superior to these people. They can't come up with any tricks. They are all very honest. Recently, the public security in Xingguang City has obviously improved."

"That's good."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he pointed to the information about the Lucky Oil: "Take a look."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen picked up the documents and scanned them one by one.

“It’s not a good idea to keep these people suppressed like this. Since they are all full of energy and have nowhere to vent, let them get moving.”

"The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes?"

Su Zhen asked in surprise.

“That’s right. A few mutated giant pythons in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes will produce a peculiar substance, which I call Lucky Oil. I can offer 10 blue physical source crystals or 10 white spiritual source crystals to buy it.”

Ji Fuyou said, "Anyone who gets a bottle can exchange for enough Source Crystals to cultivate a future high-level martial artist."

Su Zhen took a deep breath after seeing this.

"The beasts in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes are not very strong. Compared to going to the Misty Forest to find orc warriors or to the Yellow Dragon Cave to hunt skeleton monsters, the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is undoubtedly a level safer."

Su Zhen immediately saw the key point: "The president is giving back to others."

"Well, you could say it's a win-win situation."

Ji Fuyou said, "You can choose a group of people to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Tang Yue and Tang Rong: "You two decide whether to help me find the lake in the Misty Forest, or to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes and meet up with Jiang Ran and the others, and lead the team deeper into it."

Tang Yue and Tang Rong exchanged a glance.

It's obvious that leading a team to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes would be more profitable.

Not to mention that those mutated giant pythons themselves have the possibility of obtaining source crystals, once they obtain a portion of lucky oil, it's like ascending to heaven in one step.

We now have all the source crystals needed to advance to the highest level of martial arts.

but……

Going to the Misty Forest to find that lake was clearly a private matter.

Ji Fuyou's private affairs.

If they can actually find this place, how much benefit will they receive?
With this thought in mind, the two made a decision. "Hunting the mutated giant python in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is obviously a long-term matter, so there's no need to rush. Let's complete the captain's mission first and find this lake in the Misty Forest."

Tang Yue said in a deep voice.

"The space inside the Misty Forest has become enormous, perhaps even exceeding one million square kilometers. Searching for a small lake of less than one square kilometer in such a vast misty area is by no means easy. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your time on this?"

Ji Fuyou asked a question.

"Yes."

The two responded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Ji Fuyou nodded and turned to Su Zhen: "President Su can take charge of the selection. Also, you can handle this matter. Anyone who gets the magic oil can come to me for reimbursement, whether they want to exchange it for 10 billion yuan in assets or source crystals."

"Thank you, Chairman Ji."

Su Zhen smiled and said, "Now, not only will the people in the Mental Ability Association and the Martial Arts Association have something to do, but their overall strength will also increase significantly in no time. This will be a blessing for our Starlight City."

After finishing his business here, Ji Fuyou let Su Zhen and Tang Yue leave.

After everyone left, Ji Qingqing came out and said with a smile, "Although I don't have a formal position, there are still quite a few things to handle."

"Compared to others, I'm in a much more relaxed state right now."

Ji Fuyou responded.

"That is."

After Ji Qingqing finished speaking, she added, "These past few days, Chairman Xue from the State Government and the Association of Mental Abilities has come to see you, probably because they need your help with something."

"State government and the Association of Spiritual Powers..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou quickly realized something: "Has anything major happened in Chuzhou recently?"

"Ah."

Ji Qingqing's expression was somewhat solemn: "Five days ago, a fog appeared in Wuya City and lasted for 7 hours."

"Wuya City..."

This is a city 350 kilometers away from the capital city of Chiyang.

Wuyai City has a small population and relatively poor resources. It is estimated that there are no more than two hands' worth of high-level martial artists and deputy high-level mental energy users combined.

This is because the number and quality of spiritual beings have increased significantly in the past six months.

"What's the damage?"

"The reported death toll is 3117, but... the number of missing persons is as high as 64314!"

Ji Qingqing felt a little downcast.

"7 hours, 6 people!"

This number caused quite a stir among the floating creatures.

"In addition, there is another big piece of news internationally."

Ji Qingqing said, "A small country in the north called Hongshan Kingdom... its entire territory has fallen, and the country has been declared extinct."

Hongshan Kingdom?
I have no recollection of Ji Fuyou.

There are so many countries on Red Star, and most of them are small countries that ordinary people simply cannot remember.

However, after searching on my phone, I discovered that it is actually a country with a population of 900 million and an area of 4 square kilometers.

This is considered a large size for a small country, and it's not far from the size of a medium-sized country.

While reviewing these materials, Ji Fuyou also searched for news reports about fog attacks on cities over the past six months.

The result was astonishing...

In the months since the Blue Moon City incident, there have been as many as nine fog-induced city attacks in the Federation alone.

However, thanks to the existence of the special operations team, the previous eight incidents were either too far away for the news to reach them, or they were handled properly, keeping the casualties to within four digits.

The fact that Wuyuan City suffered such a huge loss this time can be considered a dereliction of duty by the state government and the Association of Spiritual Powerful People.

"Did it deteriorate so quickly?"

Ji Fuyou looked solemn.

He's been shrouded in mystery lately and hasn't been paying much attention to these kinds of news, I never expected this...

"In fact, the reason why the security situation in Starlight City deteriorated recently was also related to the panic caused by the spread of these messages. Although our Great Shang is one of the four great powers in the world and has great strength, and the local governments are trying their best to maintain stability in various places, the chaos caused by the imminent danger is still spreading uncontrollably."

Ji Qingqing glanced at Ji Fuyou: "I often pay attention to online trends. The shift in the trend is very obvious. Now, the entertainment and consumer industries are rapidly declining, and many businesses have closed down. On the contrary, things and objects related to extraordinary people and cultivators easily gain popularity and become hot topics online."

Ji Fuyou had anticipated this.

In the dream, three or four years later, society seemed to have entered a state similar to military control.

The most common occupation for people is joining the army.

"You haven't looked at the 'Ten Thousand Star Years' account in a long time, have you?"

Ji Qingqing said something.

"what happened?"

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he opened the account.

turn out……

His fan base has actually exceeded 200 million?

"I haven't updated this account for months..."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he seemed to remember something and opened Ji Qingqing's account: "Wow, 1100 million?"

"Ah."
