Lu Yin walked over to the formidable-looking Cruiser and inspected him. This person deserved to be called a pirate; he had very quick reactions, as any regular cultivator would have been killed by Lu Yin’s ambush.

He crouched down, retrieved the man’s cosmic ring, took a bit of the man’s blood, and then headed for the nearby hills. He did not kill the man, though he made sure that it would take the man at least two days to stir before he could leave for the hills.

Lu Yin returned to his personal spacecraft and immediately activated it. He only relaxed enough to pour out whatever was inside the ring when his spacecraft started to ascend. 

Lu Yin was ecstatic upon seeing what the cosmic ring held. There were actually more than a thousand star essence, which was just too ridiculous. If he exchanged them all, then he would have more than a hundred million star crystals. 

His breath quickened, as he had never seen such an enormous amount of wealth ever before. Even Lulu with her rich background would not carry this much money around. No wonder that pirate group was worthy of having a Cruiser oversee it. 

This was just one pirate group, and an unknown number of pirate groups offered tributes to the Blackbeard Pirates on a regular basis. Lu Yin did not even dare to imagine how much wealth so many pirate groups would gather all together.

These Blackbeard Pirates were much wealthier...
