"I can pilot warships. I can pilot a top-tier warship of a level six technological civilization all by myself. In fact, if I were to learn how to pilot a warship of a level seven technological civilization, I could quickly pilot one by myself. I have a great talent for this. I was once an ace ship operator in the core army of the Empire..." Black Skull wailed.

In his mind, the opponent's strength was so great that it was impossible for them to only have this many warships. They likely possessed warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization. In the Cordis Empire, warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization were a very important part of the military force.

However, Lin Yun did not say another word and let Yang Yi and Yang Er take him away.

The fate of the skeleton is practically sealed.

Seeing the fate of the Black Skull, Fang Ao felt extremely fortunate.

He didn't know that the other ten new level-ten peak robots were ones that Lin Yun had just bought.

He had assumed that the ten new level-ten peak robots were still on this warship.

A warship of a level 6 technological civilization is too big, like a small city, and has too many people, more than 180,000 in total. If there are experts among them, it is normal that he has not seen them.

He had only recently joined Lin Yun's side, so his freedom was limited.

Back then, with such weak strength, he dared to attack Lin Yun, who was so strong. Lin Yun not only didn't kill him, but also saved him from serious injuries and near death. He was really lucky.

With such terrifying strength, Lin Yun's future is bound to be very bright. Following him was indeed the right decision.

"Fang Ao, you did well this time." Just then, Lin Yun turned to look at Fang Ao and said.

"My lord, Fang Ao was wrong. He actually recommended a villain like the King of the Northeast to you..." Fang Ao was startled and quickly knelt down in fear. He thought Lin Yun was being sarcastic.

He thought about all sorts of problems that had arisen during this incident.

Although Lin Yun's actions also bear some responsibility, he dared not blame Lin Yun, but instead took the blame upon himself.

In fact, the fundamental issue was his recommendation of Lin Yun to make a deal with the Northeast King, and he cannot escape responsibility for that.

"You're overthinking it. I was really praising you." Seeing Fang Ao's big reaction, Lin Yun was slightly taken aback, then chuckled.

If it weren't for Fang Ao introducing the King of the Northeast and making the introduction...

They arrived directly in the Cordis Empire, completely clueless.

In the unlikely event that their first transaction might encounter a hostile opponent who attacks right away, given that they only have a level 10 peak robot, a level 10 mid-stage robot, and a level 6 technological civilization-level warship, it's hard to say whether they won't face danger.

Everything is going very well now.

He now possesses not only eleven level-ten peak robots, but also over three trillion spiritual crystals. His momentum is unstoppable, and Fang Ao's contribution is indispensable.

“Although this Northeast King is a bad person, he has given us a great gift. Considering this gift, I will not look for him for now,” Lin Yun said after a pause.

In fact, he knew that after the Northeast King had done such a thing and discovered their strength, he most likely wouldn't be waiting for them at the Northeast King's Mansion. The world was vast, and the other party could go anywhere.

Furthermore, the enemy already possesses top-tier warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization. Even if they know the direction and go in pursuit, they might not be able to catch up.

Instead of wasting his time, he should find a place to practice properly.

The harvest of over three trillion spiritual crystals is enough to allow him and his entourage, along with his subordinates, to cultivate for a considerable period of time.

“There are punishments for those who have done wrong, and rewards for those who have done right. You have done right this time, so I will reward you by raising your spiritual power to the peak of level nine,” Lin Yun said.

"What?" Fang Ao was taken aback; he didn't quite understand.

Reward him by raising his mental strength to the peak of level nine? Is that even a reward? How can you reward him like that?

"Don't resist." At this moment, Lin Yun put one hand on his shoulder and said.

"Yes," Fang Aolian nodded.

Although he couldn't understand, it didn't stop him from obeying Lin Yun's orders.

"boom--"

Just then, a massive surge of spiritual energy instantly flooded into Fang Ao's body and then rapidly entered his mind.

Fang Ao's body trembled, and then a sudden realization dawned on him.

So, this is what the Lord meant by raising his spiritual level.

It's very difficult to increase your mental strength level...

At this moment, Fang Ao felt his spiritual power growing rapidly with every breath, as if he were riding a rocket.

At this rate, his mental strength could very well break through to the peak of level nine very soon.

This was utterly unbelievable to him, as if it were a fantasy.

My Lord, you possess such miraculous abilities?

A minute later, Lin Yun released his hand and turned to leave.

The spiritual energy has been inputted; the rest is up to Fang Ao to absorb and digest on his own.

He had given it considerable thought before raising Fang Ao's mental strength to the peak of level nine.

With eleven level-ten peak robots at his disposal, Fang Ao's strength has become increasingly inconspicuous. It's only useful for him now while traveling in the Cordis Empire. What about the future?

The black skull's words reminded him.

In fact, Lin Yun had this idea in mind, but he hadn't made a decision yet.

Black Skull's words confirmed his suspicions.

In the future, he planned to have Fang Ao control the warship.

In order to better navigate interstellar travel in the future, he will inevitably need an advanced warship.

Even the fastest cultivators among his subordinates are relatively low-level, and even if they forcibly increase their mental strength level, they may not be able to control high-level warships.

Fang Ao's level of understanding is very suitable.

Fang Ao's original cultivation level is the early stage of level 10. His spiritual power can be raised to level 12 at most. In that case, even a legendary level 10 warship would be within his control.

However, loyalty is a prerequisite.

During this period, he often had Fang Ao by his side, constantly observing him.

There were no abnormalities; he was fairly loyal.

Now, let's raise Fang Ao's mental strength to the peak of level nine. On one hand, this is an incentive, letting the other party see tangible benefits.

To win over subordinates, you can't just use coercion; you also need to offer incentives. Only in this way can you win people's hearts.

On the other hand, also observe the other party's reaction.

In case the other party has ulterior motives, they can be easily suppressed without suffering too much loss.

"Let's not go to the Imperial Palace yet. Let's find a place to train properly first..."

Several days later, Lin Yun and his group's warship left the Northeast Star Region. Suddenly, Lin Yun had a slight thought and said.

Just then, a breakthrough wave emanated from the warship.

If he wasn't mistaken, Lin Mengmeng had broken through again, reaching the late stage of the Nebula Realm.

Lin Yun gave a slight, bitter smile.

Lin Mengmeng's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster.

At first, Lin Mengmeng's realm was far inferior to his. Later, when he broke through to the Starry Sky Realm, Lin Mengmeng also quickly broke through to the Starry Sky Realm. Later still, Lin Mengmeng broke through to the Nebula Realm before him.

He hasn't broken through to the mid-stage of the Nebula Realm yet, while Lin Mengmeng has already broken through to the late-stage of the Nebula Realm.

Although Lin Mengmeng's ability to challenge opponents of higher levels is not as good as his, if things continue like this, Lin Mengmeng's strength will surpass his sooner or later.

"I should work harder too. I am, after all, a master of a cosmic trading system. Everyone else follows me. How can I let this girl surpass me by so much?"

Lin Yun sighed, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

He was somewhat distracted during this period; otherwise, he should have broken through to the mid-stage of the Nebula Realm.

Lin Mengmeng, on the other hand, had nothing else to do but focus on cultivation. With the addition of various resources to nurture her, her progress was naturally rapid.
