Chapter 771: Section 559: Golden Level Fishman Youth!
A day before, in the Divine Country of Anqiu.
Most of the duelists had already left.
"Mei Lin sister, you were looking for me?" Snow Ball approached Mei Lin.
Mei Lin handed her a list of materials, "I heard you’ve been actively acquiring these types of materials lately?"
Snow Ball took the list and saw that it was Wave Sound Shells, each shell was a Golden Level material!
A look of surprise flashed across Snow Ball’s face, but then she furrowed her brows with difficulty.
She looked at Mei Lin, "Mei Lin sister, I’m sorry, but I don’t have much time to stay here. I need to give my all in the upcoming Warm Snow Cup!"
Mei Lin nodded with a smile, "I know, your grandfather has high expectations for you."
"Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to stay here and look after the Honey Snow Tower, but I do have another favor to ask you."
"Oh?" Snow Ball’s curiosity was piqued, "Let’s hear it, Mei Lin sister."
Mei Lin said, "I would like to personally visit your grandfather."
Snow Ball’s grandfather was not just any Transcendent; he was a Holy Domain Level Alchemy Mage who managed the Snow Cake Tower and was a powerful elder of the Alchemy Guild.
What was more critical was that the relationship between the Snow Cake Tower Master and the Honey Snow Tower Master Shuanglian was not good.
Snow Ball was slightly taken aback but soon understood Mei Lin’s intent.
They had lured the Honey Snow Tower into the Divine Country of Anqiu. With Shuanglian, an important figure in the Alchemy Guild, disappearing, it was bound to trigger more extensive repercussions.
The Alchemy Guild would certainly come to look for her.
If this battle were to completely end with Shuanglian’s death, that would be one thing. But the reality was that both sides were locked in a stalemate.
Without a clear outcome, Mei Lin had to consider the subsequent impacts.
Realizing this, Snow Ball nodded, "Indeed, the issues between grandfather and Mage Shuanglian are deep. The conflicts of interest between the two Mage Towers are also significant, and the relationship is quite hostile."
"I can introduce you."
"That shouldn’t be a problem."
If Shuanglian could be better handled, Snow Ball too would be pleased to see it happen.
After all, she had also been involved in this battle.
In fact, it was because of the conflict between the two towers that Snow Ball was willing to contribute to this battle.
"That’s great," Mei Lin said with a smile.
She was confident she could continue to receive Snow Ball’s assistance.
Mei Lin had made efforts to increase her influence in the Divine Country of Anqiu. Getting close to Snow Ball and becoming her friend was one of the fruits of her labor.
After arranging for the Golden Level duelists to take turns on duty, Mei Lin left the Divine Country of Anqiu with Snow Ball.
Half a day later, they arrived at the Ice Sculpture Royal Capital using the Teleportation Array.
The headquarters of the Alchemy Guild in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom was in the Royal Capital.
The original number three site of the Honey Snow Tower was still vacant.
When Mei Lin arrived, the Alchemy Guild had not officially confirmed the disappearance of Shuanglian.
She entered the Snow Cake Tower and was received by the Snow Cake Tower Master.
"Please try this, Vice Admiral Mei Lin; I made these snow cakes myself," Snow Ball’s grandfather hospitably entertained Mei Lin.
Although the two had not formally interacted before, they had heard of each other.
There were neither too many nor too few at the Golden Level.
Snow Ball’s grandfather, who managed a Mage Tower, was definitely in the upper echelon of Golden Level Mages. And there was no need to mention Mei Lin; she was the Navy Flower, a star among those at the Golden Level.
Mei Lin knew that the Snow Cake Tower Master was not only an Alchemy Mage but also a Magic Chef.
His greatest hobby was making extraordinary cuisine. The snow cakes he personally made were somewhat famous throughout the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
Mei Lin had come with a request, and naturally, she would not reject the kindness.
She stretched out her slender fingers, picked up a piece of snow cake, and examined it.
The snow cake wasn’t thin and was round, plump, and cute. Both the top and the bottom of the snow cake had frost patterns and emitted a sweet fragrance.
Mei Lin put the snow cake into her mouth and gently bit into it.
The snow cake was very crisp, breaking apart effortlessly in her mouth.
As she chewed, the crushed snow cake mixed with her tongue, presenting an intoxicating cheese flavor. After the rich cheese taste, there was a refreshing feeling that made Mei Lin’s mouth water.
The cool sensation swept through, chilling her soul with a shock.
Mei Lin held a high position and had tasted plenty of fine foods. Frankly, though the snow cake was tasty, it was not exceptional. Among the delicacies Mei Lin had tried, it wouldn’t even rank in the top 50.
At best, it was a delicious dessert.
However, after finishing one piece, Mei Lin’s expression subtly changed.
She then ate a second and a third piece.
The Snow Cake Tower Master laughed heartily.
After eating five pieces, Mei Lin thanked the Tower Master, "Tower Master, your culinary skills are remarkable; I am truly impressed."
"Who would have thought that there would be a snow cake that, after eating, directly increases one’s spirit limit!"
The Snow Cake Tower Master smiled and said, "Vice Admiral Mei Lin, you are my granddaughter’s good friend. Of course, I had to offer you my best creation. I hear you also disapprove of Shuanglian?"
Having introduced Mei Lin, Snow Ball naturally informed her grandfather about certain matters in advance.
The Snow Cake Tower Master had long been at a disadvantage in his competition with Shuanglian.
Mei Lin was no doubt a powerful ally, which is why he spared no expense to specially prepare snow cakes to entertain her.
Mei Lin said, "Tower Master, you might not know yet. Shuanglian has disappeared, along with the Honey Snow Tower."
"Oh?" The Tower Master of Snow Cake’s expression changed slightly, and his eyes revealed a sharp gleam, "Are you certain this is true?"
"In half a day’s time, the guild will also receive the news," Mei Lin continued, "I don’t care about the reasons for her disappearance, what I want is for the Alchemy Guild here to delay the search and rescue."
The Tower Master of Snow Cake took a deep look at Mei Lin: "That’s not easy to do."
"Shuanglian’s status is not ordinary, she’s an elder with real power, haven’t you seen that the Honey Snow Tower, even if it leaves, the No. 3 pit position has always been reserved for her?"
"You have to know, the lower the number of the pit position, the more energy it can provide to the Mage Tower. To a certain extent, it represents the Mage Tower Master’s status within the guild!"
"Such a heavyweight going missing, the guild will definitely go crazy searching for her."
Mei Lin smiled: "After No. 3, the No. 4 pit position belongs to the Snow Cake Tower, doesn’t it?"
"Others may have no way, but I believe in your energy, Tower Master."
With those words, Mei Lin handed the Tower Master of Snow Cake a list. The content on the list was short, but each item was significant enough to cause the Tower Master of Snow Cake’s expression to change slightly again.
At the bottom of the list was an item of Holy Domain Level Alchemy Material!
"That’s interesting..." The Tower Master of Snow Cake put away the list, "You are quite lucky."
"If this were normal times, this matter would be difficult to handle."
"But now it’s different, the main focus of the entire Alchemy Guild is on the legacy of the Prosperous Hybrid Master."
"The Alchemy Guild will definitely send people to investigate and search, I can’t stop that."
"However, we can influence it so that the search and rescue team isn’t that strong."
"I have a good idea."
The Tower Master of Snow Cake outlined his plan in detail.
After hearing it, Mei Lin expressed her admiration.
The Tower Master of Snow Cake knew that people like Zhong Bei and Cai Jing had been wronged by Shuanglian’s hands. And now, they were the leaders of the guild’s organized legacy team.
The Tower Master of Snow Cake wanted to use them, to reassign the Alchemy Mages skilled in investigation and searching to the legacy team.
That way, there would be no experts left to search for Shuanglian, Bu Quan, and the others.
"Next, we can only trouble you, Tower Master," Mei Lin "backed out" at the critical moment, avoiding a meeting with Cai Jing and Zhong Bei.
That very night, the news of Shuanglian’s disappearance was passed along.
The Tower Master of Snow Cake invited Cai Jing and Zhong Bei to a banquet.
His Snow Cakes were so delicious that Cai Jing and Zhong Bei couldn’t stop praising them. Zhong Bei even packed several pieces to take home for Zhong Bei to eat.
Regarding the Tower Master of Snow Cake’s proposal, Cai Jing and Zhong Bei had no doubts.
After all, the conflicts between the two Tower Masters were well-known throughout the guild.
Cai Jing and Zhong Bei were willing to undertake this task; they had previously suffered at Shuanglian’s hands, and now it was their opportunity for revenge.
They were already eager to act upon hearing the news of Shuanglian’s disappearance.
The invitation from the Tower Master of Snow Cake reduced many of their concerns. Their actions were aligning with the Tower Master of Snow Cake. If Shuanglian sought revenge in the future, the Tower Master of Snow Cake would surely offer protection.
White Hair Sea Trench.
The seabed.
Inside a crude shack, Cang Xu knelt on the ground praying.
"Great god Mei Lan, I praise your greatness and mercy."
"You are so mighty, the ocean trembles when you are angry, and you bestow us with incomparable care when you are compassionate."
"My lord Mei Lan, I look up to your great power, confident in your salvation."
"I wish to inquire, how much Divine Grace must be spent for my Life Level to increase?"
"To let me become Silver, towering above Black Iron and Bronze?"
As this prayer itself also consumed a few points of Divine Grace, Cang Xu quickly got an answer—8800!
He needed to expend 8800 points of Divine Grace to reach the Silver Level.
Cang Xu’s face turned pale.
Ever since the Fishman youth’s Life Level surged to the Extraordinary Level, Cang Xu had this thought. He hadn’t realized that to advance from the Black Iron Level to the Silver Level, he would need so much Divine Grace!
How long would he have to save up?
"Relying on my current Bloodline Concentration of the Corpse Hanging Tree, perhaps through self-cultivation, I might ascend to the Silver Level more quickly."
Cang Xu was masquerading as Silver Level, but his real rank was only Black Iron Level.
At the same time, inside the Deep Sea Monster Fish, the Fishman youth was also very serious.
He meticulously prepared his prayer words and began to pray.
"Great god Mei Lan, my lord, I..."
Boom!
A splendor of Divine Power descended out of nowhere, enveloping the Fishman youth for quite a while.
Before long, the Fishman youth opened the hatch, his expression strange.
"I had only just begun praying, not even completing one sentence, when I received Divine Blessing."
"I... have I been promoted to Gold Level?!"
The Fishman youth felt as though he was in a dream.
The prayer this time ended just as it began.
The Fishman youth’s Life Level had officially advanced from Silver Level to Golden Level!
"Divine Grace has increased to 8000!"
"I thought this prayer would use it all up, but instead it surged by so much..."
