Chapter 7128 The Calm Before the Storm
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Inside a quiet room of the battleship, Miao Yin stood with her back facing two young maidens. Those were her closest attendants. They were the only trusted comrades she had brought with her from the Heavenly Sound Sect. Both of them had been in seclusion for the past three days as they digested the latest boosts Miao Yin had blessed them with. And by the time they came out, their world had collapsed.
“Greetings, mistress!”
The golden-armored Luo Zhan appeared in the room as well. He bowed to Miao Yin. Although Miao Yin was Long Chen’s maid now, his reverence for her hadn’t changed in the slightest. It was the same for everyone else on the battleship—they all knew that only Miao Yin could let them advance to a higher level. Although they didn’t know exactly what had happened during the battle, the fact that Miao Yin would still keep her word in such a condition made them feel no regrets about their loyalty.
“What happened?” asked Miao Yin. She had only just set up a place for Long Chen and Zi Yan to rest. Why would he send someone to see her in less than an hour?
“Mistress, Lord Long Chen has given me some medicinal pills and told me to distribute them to everyone. But… I’d like to ask your opinion!” said Luo Zhan.
Miao Yin frowned. “I am Long Chen’s maid. Everything I have is Long Chen’s. His orders supersede mine. You should make sure to remember this.”
Her tone grew icy at the end. Luo Zhan’s actions were indeed inappropriate this time. He might just anger Long Chen.
“Mistress, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not doing that, nor am I trying to provoke Long Chen. It’s just that I really don’t know how to distribute these pills!” explained Luo Zhan hastily. He then respectfully handed the bottle that Long Chen had given him to Miao Yin.
Miao Yin frowned. He was incapable of distributing a bottle of medicinal pills? Was he stupid?
But when she saw the mountain of pills inside the bottle, her head buzzed. Even her expression changed. There had to be billions of pills here! Although she was an experienced woman, she was still shaken.
“What else did Long Chen tell you!?” demanded Miao Yin.
“He didn’t say anything else! That’s why I came to ask you…” said Luo Zhan with a bitter smile.
There were just too many medicinal pills, and they weren’t even labeled or organized at all.
“This is…” Miao Yin picked up a pill and inspected its energy signature. A moment later, she appeared even more shocked. She naturally had no knowledge of Long Chen’s Heavenly Dao Pills, but she instantly understood that these pills had heaven-defying properties.
“Lord Long Chen really is skilled!”
Miao Yin took a deep breath. These were precisely what she needed right now.
She had meticulously picked out each and every one of her subordinates, and they were all capable people in one way or another. However, none of them could be considered top geniuses, and more importantly, none of them was an actual cultivation genius. That was why she mostly picked them out for other abilities rather than power.
There was no way around it. If she were to pick out the most talented heavenly geniuses of other forces, that would definitely provoke those forces. Taking their best geniuses would be akin to killing their parents. No matter how great she was, in the end, she was still only a single disciple of the Heavenly Sound Sect. She didn’t have that much influence. More importantly, even if she wanted to sway those top-tier geniuses, she didn’t have the resources to do so.
“This matter is to be kept secret! Not a single word about these pills once you leave this room, understood?” declared Miao Yin sternly.
“Yes!”
But Luo Zhan was startled. If it was such a secret, why had Long Chen given him the pills? He should have just given them to Miao Yin directly. Was this a test?
In truth, he was overthinking it. Long Chen had taken a scan of the primal chaos space after going to his room and discovered a mountain of Heavenly Dao Fruits. He obviously had nothing to do with them; thus, he had the Demon Moon Cauldron refine them into Heavenly Dao Pills. With the Demon Moon Cauldron’s capabilities and Huo Linger’s collaboration, they were all refined in half an incense stick’s worth of time. Refining a Heavenly Dao Pill took no more effort than peeling an apple.
In truth, the best Heavenly Dao Pills had long since been distributed to the violet blood race, Jiuli race, the Flame God Sect, the Spirit Heart Sect, and his other allies. These remaining ones were now just clutter giving Long Chen a headache. But once he thought of Miao Yin’s many subordinates, he felt it was best to just give them the pills.
As for why he didn’t call Miao Yin over herself, it was because of his respect for Miao Yin. He was not actually treating her as a maid that would come running whenever he called. That was why he had called Luo Zhan. In any case, he knew that Miao Yin would instantly understand what the pills were for—turning her mediocre subordinates into first-rate heavenly geniuses.
There was one condition before that happened: Each person had to be matched with the Heavenly Dao Pill that suited their nature the most. This would take some effort for someone else, including Long Chen himself, but there was nobody more suitable for this task than Miao Yin.
“Have everyone gather. I will personally distribute these pills!”
Luo Zhan immediately rushed off to execute her orders.
One of the maidens behind Miao Yin couldn’t help asking “Big sister Miao Yin, is Long Chen…”
“You must call him Lord Long Chen! Little Ying, Little Cui, don’t make things hard on me!” warned Miao Yin.
She was the one who had proposed the bet, and she was the one who had lost the bet. Since that was the case, she couldn’t go back on her word. Furthermore, Long Chen had expressed that he wasn’t going to limit her. He would even support her. Thus, she definitely couldn’t let her people show disrespect to Long Chen. Otherwise, their somewhat harmonious relationship would fracture.
Little Ying and Little Cui exchanged a look. They both sighed helplessly.
It went without saying that while Luo Zhan was an arrogant fellow, he was very efficient. Everyone was neatly gathered in half an incense stick’s worth of time.
Miao Yin directly used a song of the Grand Dao to stimulate everyone’s core energy. The medicinal pills were inside her internal space, and they began to light up as her subordinates’ core energy resonated with them. However, this was done under Miao Yin’s complete control, and the others didn’t know what was going on.
She gave them the appropriate medicinal pills, then watched in stupor as their core energy rapidly grew. Even their Spirit Blood, Spirit Root, and Spirit Bone transformed.
Everyone was dumbfounded. These seemingly unremarkable pills were actually heaven-defying treasures that could change their fates! They hadn’t even fully absorbed the pills’ energy yet, but they already felt like completely different people!
Long Chen, you really are heaven-defying!
A day passed by as Miao Yin helped everyone absorb the Heavenly Dao Pills’ energy. She fully stimulated their potential. With this, the group of previously ordinary disciples had just leapt into the ranks of first-rate experts. Although they were not exactly peak experts, they hadn’t been worth anything as combatants before, so this counted as a tremendous improvement.
When the battleship was still two hours from reaching the first academy, Long Chen told Miao Yin to slow down and activate the aura-concealing formation. He could already vaguely see a giant dragon coiled in the distance, and beneath it was the first academy.
“It really is the calm before the storm!”
Miao Yin stood behind Long Chen, also staring at the karmic luck dragon manifestation. Her heart tensed up, but she was also filled with anticipation. Perhaps, the first battle on her campaign to conquer the nine heavens was about to start!
