The Divine Power Skills within the Divine Power Pool are left by predecessors. If one’s strength hasn’t reached the Divine Power Realm, or if the person entering the pool hasn’t been recognized by a Divine Power Skill, they might leave empty-handed, or worse, they might suffer severe injuries due to backlash from the Divine Power Skills.

Therefore, entering the Divine Power Pool requires both strength and luck.

Back then, Gong Linxin also considered this point, which is why she hesitated and never used the opportunity to enter the Divine Power Pool.

"In that case, spending ten thousand Spirit Stones, Divine Power Skills, getting nothing—any of these is possible."

Ye Lingyue pondered.

"Regarding the Divine Power Pool, you might also want to ask Lord Bao, he has entered the Divine Power Pool before."

Gong Linxin kindly reminded Ye Lingyue, seeing her hesitation.

Lan Feng and Situ, who were beside them, showed expressions of envy.

This opportunity for Bo Qing was left by the former president of the Heroic Society.

"Bo Qing, you’ve entered the Divine Power Pool? What was it like in there? Come to think of it, I haven’t seen what your Divine Power Skill is yet."

Ye Lingyue remembered that Di Shen also seemed to have comprehended a Divine Power Skill, and that right after breaking through. It seemed like a Demon Divine Power comprehended after integrating Shadow Concubine’s Shadow Sewing Technique.

"My Divine Power Skill isn’t worth mentioning; it doesn’t have any substantial offensive or defensive capabilities. If there’s a chance another day, I could demonstrate it for you. However, it’s true that the Divine Power Skills in the Divine Power Pool are tough to deal with. At that time, there were altogether thirteen of us who entered the Divine Power Pool. Only three successfully obtained skills. Eight were seriously injured, and two fell into a coma. I was the one who obtained a Divine Power Skill the easiest."

Bo Qing shrugged and said nonchalantly. To be honest, he really didn’t find the Divine Power Pool difficult at all.

Listening to Bo Qing, Situ and Lan Feng were almost pounding their chests. When it came to Bo Qing’s good luck, both could relate deeply.

The three had formed a Heroic Team with Tan Su back then. Forget about Tan Su; whenever they hunted demons, Situ and Lan Feng were both worn out, and the number of demon beasts they killed was no less than Bo Qing’s. Yet, every time, even if Bo Qing killed a demon beast with his eyes closed, his harvest was higher than theirs.

Not to mention the level of the demon beasts, even the odds of extracting a Demon Core were much higher for him than for the two of them.

Another time, Bo Qing encountered a group of bandits on the way, and casually ended up with a pile of Spiritual Artifacts.

Even with the Divine Power Pool, unlike the average person facing various choices upon entering, feeling tangled and challenged, Bo Qing, being the "Treasure Child", had numerous Divine Power Skills rushing towards him as soon as he stepped inside.

The guy was lazy, just grabbed one casually and, inexplicably, comprehended a skill.

This is the classic "comparing people leads to anger, comparing goods leads to discarding".

Ye Lingyue glanced at Bo Qing, then at Gong Linxin, Situ, and the others’ cautious appearances, and considered for a moment in her heart.

"To seek fortune amidst danger, I still choose the opportunity to enter the Divine Power Pool. Anyway, fortune favors the bold. Should we go and check out the Divine Power Pool now?"

Ye Lingyue was eager to try her luck.

"It’s not something to rush. The Divine Power Pool of the Jiu Provinces Alliance is only open to the public on the tenth day of each month. It’s still early in the month; we can go to the Divine Power Pool then." Gong Linxin smiled and informed Ye Lingyue, who could only wait eagerly for the tenth day of the month to enter the Divine Power Pool.

This time for the Jiu Provinces Hunting, many people came to participate. Xuanwu City spent a full month recruiting participants.

With such an arrangement, Ye Lingyue found herself with some free time in Xuanwu City.

One day, when she was about to go out to stroll around Xuanwu City with Gong Linxin, she received some unexpected news.

"Are you saying in the letter from Yuan Xing, he wants me to find a way to recruit some new residents to move into Huangquan City?"

When Ye Lingyue left Huangquan City, she left most of the city affairs to Yuan Xing, Aguduo, and Jin Wu Old Monster. She even painfully invested the Spirit Stones she excavated from her space into the city’s construction.

Yuan Xing and others, following Ye Lingyue’s orders, spent those days helping to renovate houses, reinforce city walls, and tidy up the official roads; Huangquan City seemed to have transformed overnight.

The city was renovated, but the population hadn’t increased much, leaving many buildings unused.

A few days earlier, Ye Lingyue had some female Demon Hunters from the Red Sleeve Pavilion move to Huangquan City, around forty or fifty in number. However, since the underground arena was abolished, several Demon Hunters who depended on it for a living left Huangquan City, reducing the population.

This was not good news.

Huangquan City’s ranking on the Jiu Provinces Heaven List was already low enough; if the population decreased further, it would end up at the very bottom.

Upon learning this bad news, Ye Lingyue felt overwhelmed.

"City Lord, someone from the Jiu Provinces Alliance just sent word that you should go to the Jiu Provinces Hall." Just as Ye Lingyue was feeling troubled, Si Xiaochun brought more news.

The Jiu Provinces Hall is a special office established by the Ancient Nine Provinces in Xuanwu City, only present in the ten Super Cities of the Ancient Nine Provinces. It is also the institution that releases the Heaven and Earth List of the Jiu Provinces. It’s said that the Divine Power Pool is also located inside the Jiu Provinces Hall.

However, typically, the Jiu Provinces Hall wouldn’t summon a small City Lord like Ye Lingyue. So, upon hearing the summons, she had a vague sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, when Ye Lingyue found the Jiu Provinces Hall, not far away, there were City Lord Ma and Hong Yulang.

This surprised Ye Lingyue a bit, as she didn’t expect Hong Yulang to still be in the City Lord’s Mansion after the "male-male incident". Plus, the way City Lord Ma looked, it seemed like he had forgiven Hong Yulang.

Hong Yulang and Hong Mingyue, that brother-sister pair, were truly indomitable like cockroaches.

Fearing to dirty her eyes by looking at them any longer, Ye Lingyue turned her head and prepared to enter the Jiu Provinces Hall.

"Stop, are you the City Lord of Huangquan City?"

But someone intentionally caused trouble for Ye Lingyue. City Lord Ma called her with arrogance.

Both the rank and age of City Lord Ma were above Ye Lingyue’s, so she reluctantly stopped but also didn’t salute, as she really didn’t care for courtesy with someone like City Lord Ma.

City Lord Ma, seeing Ye Lingyue neither bow nor flatter him when they met, and upon looking at her plain appearance, couldn’t help feeling irritable at the thought that this woman was the Dual Cultivation Couple of someone as divine as Di Shen.

He snorted disdainfully.

"Such lack of manners. No wonder so many people in the Jiu Provinces Alliance have been petitioning against you. Let me give you a word of advice: match the size of your chair to your worth. If you can’t fill your position, kindly step down, or you’ll end up in a bad way."
