The Celestial Dao Stone prompted that the Sea Mirage Fruit still needed two days to ripen.

Which meant he needed to drip one more drop of Wood Spirit Liquid.

Yi Tian took out a drop of Wood Spirit Liquid and flicked it onto the Sea Mirage Tree.

After the Sea Mirage Tree released a layer of dim light, all three Sea Mirage Fruits were wrapped in a gray glow.

A few minutes later, the gray glow faded, and the Sea Mirage Fruits ripened.

Yi Tian immediately swam up. Before Divine Yun could react, Yi Tian had already picked two Sea Mirage Fruits, then swam toward the surface.

The Sea Mirage Fruit Tree could not be transplanted.

Once the three Sea Mirage Fruits were all picked, the Sea Mirage Tree would disappear like a mirage over the sea.

Only when the next batch of Sea Mirage Fruits ripened would it reappear and meet with some fated living creatures.

Seeing Yi Tian so bluntly pick two fruits, Divine Yun plucked the last Sea Mirage Fruit and chased after Yi Tian.

As for the Sea Mirage Tree, after all three Sea Mirage Fruits were plucked, it slowly turned illusory and vanished within a single breath, as if it had never appeared.

“Splash…”

Yi Tian burst out of the water, a Sea Mirage Fruit in each hand.

He had an agreement with Divine Yun, and the Celestial Dao Rules were loose yet without loopholes. Whatever was said during Mercenary time would merge into the rules and could not be reneged on.

Unless Yi Tian produced something that satisfied Divine Yun to trade, he would not be able to leave.

“Splash…”

Divine Yun also emerged from the water, her blue long hair fluttering in the wind like a lotus rising from the water.

“Divine Yun, how much do you think this fruit is worth? After a discount, I’ll pay you in Celestial Dao Coins.” Yi Tian weighed the Sea Mirage Fruit in his left hand and spoke to Divine Yun.

He didn’t bother saying anything like cutting it in half. That was impossible.

Divine Yun remained unmoved.

This Sea Mirage Fruit could be taken continuously. If she took two Sea Mirage Fruits, she could push the Mysteries of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth from Level 21 up to Level 29, or even Level 30.

Conversely, if Yi Tian got these two Sea Mirage Fruits and combined them with the Whale Fall Bead—

On the Combat Power Golden List, Divine Yun would never be able to surpass him again.

The Cosmic Ten Thousand Races would find it hard to breathe at S-level.

Only by breaking through S-level could one feel a sense of oppression from the Combat Power Golden List.

Divine Yun had her own pride. She had lost to Yi Tian several times and did not want to admit defeat.

“Mm, since you’re defaulting to not wanting it, how could I in good conscience…”

Yi Tian spoke as he was about to put the Sea Mirage Fruit into his Storage Ring.

“Is this fun to you?”

Divine Yun’s temperament was indifferent, but she couldn’t withstand Yi Tian’s antics.

“Then you name a price. We each go our own way. The assessment is almost here; dragging this out is pointless, right?”

Yi Tian smiled slightly and spoke to Divine Yun.

Divine Yun pondered. The assessment was approaching. When the Mercenary time was up later, Yi Tian would be teleported away.

At that time, although Yi Tian wouldn’t be able to take this Sea Mirage Fruit away, she couldn’t break faith with a Mercenary just because of the fruit.

The King of Mercenaries, the Ancient God Grotto Heaven—she had deduced that better opportunities were waiting for her there.

“I can give you resources and Celestial Dao Coins. Please yield this Sea Mirage Fruit to me.” Divine Yun spoke, which meant she was backing down.

Being forced to retreat this time didn’t mean she would concede. The road to godhood was still long, and on the path to becoming a god, she was sure she would suppress Yi Tian.

A momentary win or loss didn’t mean anything.

“Ten drops of Soul Purifying Divine Water…”

Yi Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, but I’ll only start delivering from the first of next month.”

Divine Yun and Mo Yi had both seen his World-purifying Lotus, so they naturally knew he had Soul Purifying Divine Water.

Ten drops of Soul Purifying Divine Water for half a Sea Mirage Fruit—Yi Tian felt it was workable.

If he had to fork out a batch of resources, Yi Tian really would feel the pain. Soul Purifying Divine Water was basically like a zero-cost trade.

This was probably a psychological thing.

Divine Yun nodded lightly.

She wouldn’t need Soul Purifying Divine Water before SS-level; she was preparing for after SS-level.

“Alright, add me as a friend!” Yi Tian took out the Celestial Dao Stone.

Without even looking, Divine Yun directly entered Yi Tian’s ID and sent a friend request.

“You know me so well—don’t tell me you’re into me?” Yi Tian couldn’t help but tease Divine Yun.

Zone 10086, Subzone 66, 99999.

For Earthlings it was easy to remember; for others, not necessarily.

Divine Yun had subconsciously entered Yi Tian’s ID, clearly indicating she paid a lot of attention to him.

Divine Yun shot Yi Tian a cold glance, then pinched the Celestial Dao Stone and teleported away.

Without signing a Celestial Dao Contract, Divine Yun knew Yi Tian would never break his word because of this.

Yi Tian had already tagged Divine Yun in his heart as “no emotions.”

He looked around at the vast, surging sea.

After pausing for a moment, he also teleported away.

“Congratulations to the Lord for completing the mission. This mission is rated SSS-level. Mercenary: Second Under Heaven. Mission count: 2,551. Win rate: 100%.”

Up to this mission, from yesterday until now, he had completed a total of 331 missions.

The one with Divine Yun didn’t come with Celestial Dao Coins.

The others had earned a total of 330 million Celestial Dao Coins.

It was now the thirtieth day of winter, two o’clock in the morning.

The Golden List System refreshed.

Yi Tian first checked the Mercenaries.

On the S-level Mercenary Golden List, he was ranked 1,869th.

This did not include the last mission, which was rated SSS-level.

The title of King of Mercenaries should be firmly in his grasp.

In fact, Yi Tian felt that on the S-level Mercenary Golden List, at least four thousand people, or even more, would be selected.
