Bulongsen was arranged to stay in the outer courtyard of the mansion. Lu Yin could not let him get close, as he had many secrets, and Xu San was the same.
Turning on the screen, a familiar figure appeared, "Hello, classmate."
Lu Yin did not expect it to be him, Yin, "How did you get my personal terminal number?"
Yin smiled, "If I want to, I can find out."
"What do you want?" Lu Yin said indifferently.
Yin smiled broadly, "It's been a while, I miss you. I also have a gift for you."
Lu Yin was puzzled, "A gift?"
Yin sent a location to Lu Yin's personal terminal, "There are a few Corpse Kings hidden in this place. You might find them useful."
Lu Yin's eyes changed, becoming sharp, "You are indeed involved with the New Human Alliance. You orchestrated Baruda's betrayal, and on Earth, you assassinated Zhang Dingtian to trigger the zombie wave. You took those Corpse Kings, didn't you?"
Yin scratched his ear, "Don't be so loud, someone might hear. I'm not part of the New Human Alliance, I just happen to know about this. Don't blame everything on me."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, "Why are you telling me this location?"
"I said, I will help you."
"I also said, even if you help me, I won't repay you in the future."
"Ha ha, so heartless. Since that's the case, consider this a favor from me," Yin said with a smile.
Lu Yin stared at Yin, "Eliminating the New Human Alliance is everyone's duty. Now that I know the location, I will take care of it. You won't escape either. I'm already watching you. Once I find your location, I will hand you over to the Imperial Court's Thirteenth Team."
Yin's lips curled up, "We'll see about that. Goodbye, classmate." With that, the screen disappeared.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. The New Human Alliance, a vast organization spanning both the inner and outer universes. What role does Yin play in it? Why is he helping me? Is it because of the identity of the Purple Mountain King? It seems this identity might be more useful than I thought.
My family made me the Purple Mountain King, and the New Human Alliance is approaching me because of this identity. The Great Universe Empire is just a power in the Canglan territory. Why is the Purple Mountain King so attractive?
Lu Yin sighed. Forget it, no point thinking about it. Now, I have only two things to do: one, enter the Great Universe Empire's Youth Council; two, join the Tenth Academy of the Starry Sky. As for everything related to the Purple Mountain King, I'll deal with it later.
Looking at the outer courtyard, Lu Yin turned off the room lights, rubbed his hands, and thought, "It's time. The dice, this moment is always so exciting. I wonder what I'll roll."
Calculating, he had seventy cubic units of star energy crystals, a wealth he had never experienced before. It was enough for seventy rolls, but he could only roll five times at once without overloading. Four times was just right. If he wanted to roll again, he would need to rest for a while. If the rest period was too short, one roll might drain him.
"Let's see, the moment of luck has arrived," Lu Yin muttered to himself, feeling like a gambler.
Opening his palm, the dice appeared, not dull but shimmering with a faint starlight. Lu Yin slapped his head, "I forgot, it can self-recover even without star energy crystals, but it takes longer. The time I spent on Earth was enough for it to recover. Too bad, I should have rolled it earlier. What a waste."
Looking at the dice, Lu Yin tapped it. As the dice spun and gradually stopped, a '2' appeared before him.
"Two points, not bad," Lu Yin muttered, looking at the decomposition vortex. He took out many items from his Condensation Ring and threw them in, including several Condensation Rings.
The materials decomposed were mostly unknown to Lu Yin. These materials were not decomposed just once; all the decomposed materials were put back in until they could no longer be decomposed.
This time, the materials he recognized were only Jiaojin Essence, and he got two grains, adding to the one from last time, making a total of three. Not many, but not bad. This material was expensive. Besides the Jiaojin Essence, there were other unknown materials, which seemed to be good. Lu Yin collected them all.
Soon, five minutes passed, and Lu Yin obtained many materials, a variety of types but in small quantities. However, they were all good.
Taking out one cubic unit of star energy crystal, the dice quickly recovered.
Lu Yin tapped it again. The dice spun rapidly and finally stopped, showing a '5'.
Seeing the '5', Lu Yin instinctively wanted to rush out the door. A '5' meant borrowing a talent, and he had to touch a talent cultivator within ten seconds to borrow their talent. But he immediately stopped, "Whose talent?" Lu Yin blinked, realizing he couldn't find any talent cultivators.
The Imperial Capital Star definitely had talent cultivators, but he didn't know any.
Lu Yin's lips twitched. The ten seconds passed quickly, and it was a waste.
Wait, Xu San! Lu Yin was speechless, how could he forget him?
Sighing, he decided to let it go. Wasted is wasted. Lu Yin took out more star energy crystals. When the dice stopped for the third time, a '6' appeared, a number he had never rolled before.
Lu Yin didn't have time to be happy. A terrifying suction force came from the dice, instantly absorbing his star energy. At the same time, the star energy crystals in his Condensation Ring were rapidly absorbed, disappearing into the dice without needing to be crushed. A spatial rift appeared before Lu Yin but disappeared in less than a second, and everything returned to normal.
Lu Yin gasped for breath, "What's going on?"
Looking at the dull dice, Lu Yin was confused. He clearly rolled a '6', but why was there no reaction? His star energy was gone. He suddenly thought of something and quickly checked his Condensation Ring, only to find all the star energy crystals had disappeared. "This is robbery," Lu Yin said bitterly.
The dice has six sides, three of which are unknown. The other four sides were fine, but the sixth side required a terrifying amount of star energy. All the star energy in his body, about seventy cubic units, could only open a small gap. Moreover, he didn't even know what it was for. It was too frustrating.
Lu Yin suddenly had a bad feeling. If he rolled a '6' again in the future, would it be the same? Could a '6' mean draining all his star energy? No, each side has a purpose, but the purpose of the sixth side is too terrifying for him to handle now.
Looking at the dull dice, Lu Yin sighed. Today was a disaster. All his star energy was drained, and it would take time to recover. What a pain!
Feeling like he had been set back to the beginning, Lu Yin had no heart for cultivation and fell asleep. At the same time, his original plan became more resolute.
That night, many people were sleepless, looking at the glowing Purple Mountain Mansion, lost in thought.
The next day, Lu Yin contacted Zhang Dingtian and the others, learning they were in the Astral Hall and would report to the Imperial Court's Thirteenth Team in a few days. Lu Yin chatted with them briefly but didn't say much more. The rest of the journey was up to them.
"Boss, someone is here to see you," Xu San shouted outside Lu Yin's room.
Lu Yin walked out, "Who is it?"
"It's an officer, a high-ranking one, called a Grand Marshal, named Long Chu," Xu San said.
Lu Yin had Xu San bring the person to the reception hall.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a formidable appearance entered the Purple Mountain Mansion's reception hall. Seeing Lu Yin, his eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed, "Grand Marshal of the Third Ring, Long Chu, pays respects to the Purple Mountain King."
Lu Yin raised his hand to help Long Chu up, "Grand Marshal, there's no need for such formality. Please sit."
Long Chu said excitedly, "Purple Mountain King, we have finally welcomed you back."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he had Xu San leave. Looking at Long Chu, "What do you mean by that, Grand Marshal?"
Long Chu opened his mouth to speak but instinctively glanced around.
Lu Yin smiled, "Bulongsen is not here."
Long Chu relaxed and whispered, "I was originally a small soldier under the Immortal Purple Mountain. Many of us followed the Immortal Purple Mountain, but after the Purple Mountain clan disappeared, we were all sent to the Third Ring. I thought I would never see a member of the Purple Mountain clan again, but now you have appeared. It's wonderful."
"The Third Ring?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Long Chu nodded, "After the Purple Mountain clan disappeared, most of the soldiers who followed them were sent to the Third Ring. On the surface, the Third Ring is the Imperial Capital's defense force, but in reality, it's a place for the nobility's children to gain experience. We, the old soldiers of the Purple Mountain clan, were thrown into the Third Ring like garbage. It's a form of torture for us. We are soldiers and do not want to endure such humiliation."
Lu Yin remained silent.
