"Please speak."
President Liao's expression became serious, but he felt relieved inwardly. For him, having a request from Lin Yuan was better than Lin Yuan having no desires or requests at all.
"I want a virtual world cabin."
Lin Yuan stated.
A virtual world cabin scans the entire body, perfectly simulating the physical form, synchronizing it with the virtual world's body. Lin Yuan's strength had increased significantly after this recent journey, but his virtual world body remained at its state before the journey. While other evolvers might not find a need for a virtual world cabin, since their progress tends to be slow, Lin Yuan, with his unparalleled insight, experienced constant improvement in his abilities. Therefore, he needed the virtual world cabin to update his strength within the virtual world constantly.
"Virtual world cabin. No problem."
"I'll have someone deliver it to you shortly. Still at the Water Moon Community, correct?"
President Liao agreed without hesitation. The virtual world cabin was not a restricted item, and any evolver had the right to apply for and use one from the association.
With the goal achieved, Lin Yuan chatted a bit more with President Liao before returning to the Water Moon Community.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yuan received the virtual world cabin. Following the instructions, he scanned his entire body and immediately connected to the virtual world.
Inside his personal room, Lin Yuan unleashed a full-powered strike, a terrifying force spreading and piercing through a distant mountain.
"Now this is comfortable."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. On the Canglan Star, he couldn't even release a full-powered strike without risking the lives of countless citizens. However, in the virtual world, he could ignore all consequences.
"I'll check the number of practitioners in the Martial Dao evolution path now."
Lin Yuan opened his personal interface and checked under the Martial Dao evolution path for more details.
[Evolution Path: Martial Dao] [Cultivating the Innate Part: 2,598 practitioners] [Mastering the Master Part: 0 practitioners]
"Hmm, increased by over a thousand people."
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. A few days ago, the number of practitioners in the Innate Part was just over 1,200. However, he quickly speculated that it might be due to the publicity effect of the Canglan Evolution Ranking.
"Now, let's check the private messages. If someone offers a reasonable price for guidance, I'll take on a few."
Lin Yuan continued to browse through his private messages. Many people were interested in the Martial Dao evolution path, willing to pay a considerable sum for guidance from the founder himself. This would also help Lin Yuan understand the characteristics of this evolution path and determine if it truly suited him.
"Ah, how many bodies is this now? Which evolution path is truly suitable for me?"
In a spacious hall, the young man, Loulan He, complained as he crawled out of a nutrient tank.
He stood at about 1.5 meters tall, with mysterious patterns covering his forehead.
"Young Master Loulan, among the various evolution paths of human civilization, none are smooth sailing."
A respectful old man in a black robe standing beside him spoke.
"I know, I know."
Loulan He's voice sounded helpless. He glanced at his 'brand new' body, pursed his lips, and said, "Starting over again."
Several years ago, Loulan He was attracted to the 'Strange Blood' evolution path. He purchased a large amount of precious stardust beast blood to cultivate. The 'Strange Blood' evolution path could accommodate the bloodlines of various giant beasts, and when mastered, it allowed one to easily transform into any starry sky exotic or ferocious beast they had encountered.
This evolution path was exceptionally powerful, especially in the early stages. However, it came with risks. There was mutual rejection between the blood of different ferocious beasts. Any slight negligence could lead to the body exploding.
Loulan He died in such a manner because of this evolution path.
However, Loulan He constantly synchronized his consciousness in the cloud and had prepared in advance, replicating a body that had not undergone cultivation.
After exploding and dying, his consciousness transferred into the body, perfectly avoiding true death. Although he survived, the cost was enormous. The various investments made in cultivating the 'Strange Blood' evolution path were all in vain. However, Loulan He didn't care about this. His father held a high position, and money was not an issue.
"Just pick an evolution path this time within the range that does not relies on external objects and forces."
A gentle female voice entered his ears.
Loulan He knew this was his mother reminding him.
"Alright."
Loulan He sighed. He wasn't suitable for his parents' chosen evolution path, so he had to find one that suited him from the others.
But after trying more than ten times in a row, he died in the middle of cultivation each time.
"This time, I'll just randomly pick one."
Loulan He was a bit resigned, but still followed his mother's instructions and skipped those evolution paths that relied on external forces or objects.
Loulan He casually browsed through them.
"Hmm, the potential of this evolution path is unexpectedly at the sixth rank?"
Loulan He's gaze suddenly stopped as he looked at an evolution path named 'Martial Dao.'
"The currently revealed parts are only the first and second ranks, yet the theoretical potential reaches the sixth rank?"
Loulan He was amazed. It wasn't unusual for a five-rank evolution path to have theoretical potential up to the sixth rank, as the difference wasn't significant. However, for a four-rank evolution path to have theoretical potential up to the sixth rank was somewhat unbelievable. What surprised Loulan He even more was that the 'Martial Dao' evolution path, which he was looking at, only had the first and second ranks revealed, yet its theoretical potential reached the sixth rank.
"My father said that the Goddess of Wisdom doesn't lie."
"Let's take a look at this evolution path."
Loulan He bought both the first and second ranks of the Martial Dao evolution path and began reading them carefully.
"Mmm."
Loulan He looked serious.
He couldn't understand.
"I'll ask the founder of this evolution path to give me some guidance."
After thinking for a while, Loulan He, feeling that the Martial Dao evolution path might suit him, decided to pay a reward to the founder for guidance.
"Let's make it one hundred million."
Loulan He came up with a figure. If someone was guiding him, the price wouldn't be low. One hundred million should be about right.
"The founder of this path is named 'Yuan'?"
Loulan He checked the detailed information of the Martial Dao evolution path and directly sent his requirements and reward through private messages.
Water Moon Community.
Lin Yuan was browsing through private messages when a new message arrived.
"I'm Loulan He. I hope to receive guidance on the Martial Dao evolution path and am willing to pay one hundred million civilization credits."
"How much?"
Lin Yuan read through it again.
One hundred million civilization credits?
Lin Yuan blinked.
He could also come up with one hundred million civilization credits. For other entering-rank evolvers, it might be a struggle, but they could still manage to scrape together that much money.
However.
This one hundred million civilization credits were only for an hour of guidance.
It seemed a bit extravagant.
"Agree."
Lin Yuan immediately chose to agree.
Why not take free money?
Just as Lin Yuan agreed, another request came from the virtual world.
[Loulan He invites you to visit his personal space. Do you agree?]
"Agree."
Lin Yuan agreed once again. Out of caution, before heading there, he adjusted his appearance. In the next moment, the surrounding space changed, and Lin Yuan found himself in a vast golden hall.
In the center of the hall, on a throne, sat a figure draped in a purple robe. This figure was only one meter and five centimeters tall, with a forehead covered in mysterious patterns.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan appear, Loulan He immediately descended from the throne. He then slightly bowed to Lin Yuan and said, "Greetings, Teacher Yuan."
Derived from the teachings of his parents, Loulan He respected any "teacher" who pioneered an evolution path.
