"Is this true? City Lord Ye, can Huangquan City accept people like us?"

The women of the Red Sleeve Pavilion were very excited upon hearing this.

They were prostitutes, and even in Xuanwu City, they held a lower status. Outside of this place, it was very difficult for them to obtain identity documents, which is the main reason the women were reluctant to leave.

"It’s just identity documents; I can issue them to you right now. However, you must promise that once you reach Huangquan City, you will live honestly. Take this letter to the City Lord’s Mansion and find the Manager Aguduo; she will arrange your future livelihood."

Ye Lingyue was efficient and quickly wrote a recommendation letter, detailing the situation.

After all, Huangquan City was currently in need of people, so having someone move in was naturally a good thing.

The women, after obtaining the identity documents, were filled with gratitude, thanked Ye Lingyue, bid farewell to Gong Linxin, and headed together to Huangquan City.

"City Lord Ye, we are truly grateful to you."

Gong Linxin bowed deeply to Ye Lingyue.

"There’s no need for gratitude, but, Miss Lin Xin, it seems you’ve forgotten something."

Ye Lingyue looked helpless. Just now she watched as Gong Linxin distributed the remaining assets of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, wishing she could have said at least to leave some behind, as she had not yet received her recompense.

"City Lord Ye, are you asking about the compensation? I honestly can’t come up with ten thousand spirit stones right now."

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Gong Linxin couldn’t help but laugh.

This City Lord Ye is indeed a wonderful person. Being friends with her is full of surprises; sometimes she’s extraordinarily generous, yet other times she’s a penny-pincher, unwilling to part with a single dime.

Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes, glanced at Situ, and pointed, saying.

"Situ, haven’t you always liked Miss Lin Xin? Shouldn’t you show your support now? Why don’t you help her by giving those ten thousand spirit stones?"

Ye Lingyue said it so clearly, but it left Situ, a big man, turning red-faced like a statue of Guan Yu.

"Boss Ye, can’t you be more subtle? Miss Lin Xin and I... well, I don’t have the money. You can ask Bo Qing; I’m just a poor bachelor who only worries about feeding myself. I’m still planning to earn some dowry money from the upcoming Jiu Provinces Hunting."

Situ said with a grimace, speaking the truth. The expenses at the Red Sleeve Pavilion weren’t cheap, and in his pursuit of Gong Linxin, Situ had almost handed over his entire fortune.

Gong Linxin also turned red-faced at Ye Lingyue’s words and quickly tugged at Ye Lingyue’s sleeve.

"City Lord Ye, I don’t have spirit stones, but I do have something that should be worth ten thousand spirit stones. If I’m not mistaken, your cultivation isn’t low, but you’ve never had good martial arts for self-defense. I have a way to help you acquire a divine power skill."

Previously, Gong Linxin thought Ye Lingyue lacked the Power of Reincarnation and wasn’t highly cultivated, but after watching her duel with Xi Jiuye last night, she realized Ye Lingyue’s cultivation might be higher than hers.

Although during her struggle with Xi Jiuye, she seemed at a disadvantage, Gong Linxin believed it was because Ye Lingyue’s martial arts were insufficient.

Ye Lingyue’s Little Infinite Finger was at most Third or Fourth Tier. If Ye Lingyue could match Xi Jiuye’s Lingxiao Ice Finger with a Third or Fourth Tier martial art, learning a divine power skill could make future encounters at least a no-lose situation.

"A divine power skill?"

Ye Lingyue was surprised and hadn’t fully understood when someone spoke from behind.

"Dear wife, agree with her."

Di Shen walked in, and upon seeing him, Bo Qing’s face showed a vigilant look.

He hadn’t forgotten that Di Shen was the Ghost Emperor.

Di Shen also remembered that Bo Qing, though handsome but incapable, had almost let dear wife fall into crisis the previous night.

Between the two men, sparks flew from their eyes while Ye Lingyue, in between them, cast a warning glance that said, "You all shut up."

The two men snorted coldly and turned their heads away simultaneously.

"Lin Xin, ignore them. You were just telling me about the divine power skill’s details. Isn’t the divine power skill something that’s self-realized after breaking into the Divine Power Realm?" Ye Lingyue had heard of divine power skills. These are special skills realized by martial artists who, after breaking through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, reach the Small Divine Power Realm. Such skills are even more powerful than martial arts from tiers one to nine.

Since not every martial artist who breaks through into the divine power skill can realize them, those who have realized divine power skills are significantly more powerful than those who haven’t at the same Martial Realm.

After the incidents with Xi Jiuye, Ye Lingyue’s sense of crisis increased.

Especially since her opponent had become the Jin Family’s henchman, making it inevitable that they’d face off during the Jiu Provinces Hunting.

She indeed needed a more formidable martial art.

"Divine power skills aren’t all self-realized. There’s another way to obtain divine power skills, which is by entering the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s Divine Power Pool to comprehend one," Gong Linxin explained.

"Wow, Linxin, you actually have a way into the Divine Power Pool?"

Situ and Lan Feng were both astounded upon hearing this, as they both obviously knew about the existence of the Divine Power Pool.

The Jiu Provinces Alliance’s Divine Power Pool is a place coveted by martial artists who have reached the Divine Power Realm.

It is the culmination of divine power martial arts left by divine power realm martial artists who sacrificed in previous generations of the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

In the ten super cities, including Xuanwu City, there are entrances to the Divine Power Pool, but only those who have made special contributions to the Jiu Provinces Alliance are allowed to enter.

Both Situ and Lan Feng had long known that not every martial artist at the Small Divine Power Realm could comprehend a divine power skill. They had been unsuccessful, so when facing true divine power masters, they still struggled.

The two dreamed of getting a chance to enter the Divine Power Pool, and their enthusiasm for participating in this Jiu Provinces Hunting was in large part because the top three contestants would have a chance to enter the Divine Power Pool.

"This was a fortuitous coincidence. I obtained the opportunity from a certain benefactor’s hand, initially planning to keep it for when I broke through to the Divine Power Realm. However, after realizing the Flame Flame Song, the matter was set aside. Since I owe City Lord Ye ten thousand spirit stones and lack other possessions, I wish to use this opportunity to repay the debt. Would City Lord Ye be willing?"

Gong Linxin looked at Ye Lingyue with a prominent smile.

Exchanging ten thousand spirit stones for a chance to enter the Divine Power Pool was such a good deal that the "profit-driven" Ye Lingyue had no hesitation in agreeing.

"If that’s the case, then I won’t be polite."

"City Lord Ye, you don’t need to agree immediately. I must remind you that not everyone who enters the Divine Power Pool can get a divine power skill. You might come out empty-handed," Gong Linxin added.
