Chapter 1148: [852] Old Friends Meet, Time Flows Like a Hundred-Year Ocean (Combining Two Chapters for Monthly Votes)

“There are a total of 19 Spirit Crystals.”

After the receptionist finished speaking, Pei Jinye paid on the spot.

He wasn’t too interested in the items from the commercial auction, but to his surprise, before he could leave, a middle-aged housekeeper hurried over.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Pei Jinye?”

“I am, and you are?” Pei Jinye hesitated and looked over.

The middle-aged man quickly lowered his voice and politely said, “A Miss Lin who has booked a private room sent me to invite you – she’s not convenient to show herself.”

Miss Lin?

As he thought this, the middle-aged man added, “She also mentioned… Da Peng? It seems to be this name.”

Pei Jinye was instantly stunned.

Only someone from the Federation would know the name of Da Peng City.

Could it be that someone else had also come here?

Miss Lin?

Miss Lin?

Suddenly, it was as if lightning had struck him.

“Take me there,” Pei Jinye said with a deep voice.

He felt inexplicably nervous.

Because he thought of someone.

Someone entirely unexpected!

…

The middle-aged housekeeper tapped lightly on the room door.

“Come in.”

Hearing the voice from inside, the middle-aged housekeeper gently turned the doorknob, only opening a crack, then stepped back to indicate for Pei Jinye to enter.

Pei Jinye nodded to him, then walked into the room.

“Click.”

The soft sound of the door closing came through.

“Sister, is it you?”

Pei Jinye looked at the figure with her back to him.

“You haven’t changed a bit over the years, still as bold as ever.”

The figure turned around.

If not Lin Xiawei, who else could it be!

“Sister, it really is you!”

Lin Xiawei nodded, but her face did not carry much of a smile, “How did you come here too? Did you accidentally enter a space-time rift?”

Pei Jinye shook his head, “It’s a long story.”

He moved closer and said, “But Sister, is it just you here? You once said the eldest senior brother and the second senior brother went to look for Master, and then you disappeared, are they…here too?”

Lin Xiawei also shook her head, “I found them at first, but then the chaotic space currents swept me away to here… I’ve been trying to find you all, but this world seems very different.”

“I’ve felt it too, the cultivation levels of this world far surpass those of the Federation. What’s your cultivation level now, Sister?”

“Cave Heaven.”

Hearing Lin Xiawei’s response, Pei Jinye silently gave a thumbs up.

He had spent over a hundred years back in the real world, yet he was still only at Eternal Star Level.

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll make it short,” Lin Xiawei said seriously. “The identity of the woman who was with you last night has been locked down, she’s from the God Luo Association, known as Fire Mistress, with a Cloud Sky Level strength… However, we can confirm that for some reason her power has been severely damaged; otherwise, she could have easily dealt with the three of us last night on her own.”

“God Luo Association? Fire Mistress?” Pei Jinye laughed wryly, “Sister, you won’t believe it, but when she came looking for me, I didn’t recognize her and don’t understand why she targeted me, and also…”

He looked seriously at Lin Xiawei, “I’ve only been in this world for ten days, my identity information is still forged, so dealing with those powers is something I dare not even think about.”

Lin Xiawei was surprised, “You just arrived?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“Just arrived and you’re already clashing heads with the renowned God Luo Association, you really have terrible luck.”

“No kidding. But Sister, what’s your situation now? Can you give me a lift?”

Lin Xiawei had long been accustomed to Pei Jinye’s straightforward manner of speaking, but seeing him the same after many years, she felt quite moved.

“You little rascal.”

She rarely smiled.

But she shook her head and said, “To be honest, I’m also hesitant. When I came to this world five years ago, someone saved me, and I joined an organization called Eternal Night.

This person later became my boss and also my mentor, his surname is Hai.

I could introduce you to them… but frankly speaking, it’s a dirty path, and I don’t want you getting involved… and most importantly, you’ve been targeted by Fire Mistress from the God Luo Association, she might come looking for you again. If the higher-ups find out, I’m afraid they will use you…”

Pei Jinye responded with a wry smile, “Wasn’t the black box already taken by you guys? God Luo Association looking for me… there’s really no need, right?”

Lin Xiawei, however, shook her head, “We still don’t know her motive for looking for you. She was able to take the black box from the Heavenly Prison because she has unlocked a Spirit seed.”

“Spirit seed?” Pei Jinye’s heart skipped a beat.

He hadn’t forgotten that his current Array Extraordinary was evolving towards a Spirit seed.

Above Ninth Rank is the Spirit seed.

“Spirit seed… think of it as the next level after the evolution of Extraordinary-Human Genes.” Lin Xiawei tried to explain in terms Pei Jinye could understand, “Not everyone has the chance to awaken a Spirit seed… Once the Spirit seed is unlocked, you gain additional abilities.”

“What ability did Fire Mistress have last night?” Pei Jinye asked curiously.

“Space,” Lin Xiawei said in a low voice. “Different from our Space Series Extraordinary powers, her kind of Space Series Spirit seed has surpassed the bounds of space, even allowing her to forcefully break through Formations, otherwise, she couldn’t have broken through the nineteen layers of seals in the Heavenly Prison, nor could she have forcefully broken my Sword Array…”

“That sounds quite impressive; what about your Spirit seed, Sister?” Pei Jinye asked curiously.

Lin Xiawei shook her head, “I have not yet unlocked the Spirit seed.”

Pei Jinye was taken aback, “You are already at Cave Heaven Level and still can’t unlock the Spirit seed… Is it that difficult to unlock a Spirit seed?”
