Chapter 266: The Latest Value

In the lobby on the first floor of the Peace Financial Building.

Everyone sat on sofas and chairs, listening to Li Yi recount his experience of crossing the boundary this time. This information was not confidential, so it didn't matter if he said it, because the probability of entering this world in the next boundary crossing was low. Even if there was a real chance to go, this information would be publicly announced before crossing the boundary.

Li Yi's story was not long, but it made everyone's expression solemn.

"A world with only vengeful ghosts? And ghosts can't be killed?"

"A Soul Realm powerhouse was actually killed by a piece of clothing? This is too childish."

"Ghost Controllers, city persons in charge... Ghost Post Office, Li Yi, your experience in these three months can be described as full of dangers. No one could imagine that a world with only ordinary people would hide such huge dangers."

After listening to his story, everyone was full of emotion.

Lin Yue frowned and said: "Li Yi, you were too unlucky in this boundary crossing, led into a ditch by that captain named Zhang Xun. Originally, you could have avoided supernatural events, wouldn't have met the city person in charge, and wouldn't have been dragged into the Ghost Post Office to deliver letters... If you didn't participate in these, you would definitely have been able to spend three months safely. After all, that is a place where most ordinary people can survive, and those extremely dangerous vengeful ghosts are only a minority."

"That's true, but after staying there for three months, I gradually discovered that the supernatural phenomena in that world are losing control, and danger is spreading. Even if there are Ghost Controllers to deal with it, in my opinion, it is still stretched thin and cannot solve the root cause, just like our world. Heaven-tilting events happen constantly. Even if one extraordinary creature is solved, more extraordinary creatures will invade later."

"It is precisely because of these endless disasters that we practitioners want to cross the boundary and leave," Li Yi said.

"I think that world is even worse than ours. If a few top experts appear in our world, they can mobilize the cosmic energy of the whole world and forcibly seal the Gate of Boundary Crossing, and we can also restore peace and safety. But the No. 36 world you mentioned is different. The fact that ghosts in that world cannot be killed means they will always be there. Even if controlled for decades, they will break out again after a period of time, until one day, the supernatural phenomena can no longer be controlled, and that world will be completely finished."

Zhao Lingfu shook his head: "I don't dare to go to such a world. It's better to look for other worlds."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"After this boundary crossing, if I want to wait for the next one, it will take at least half a year. I think instead of counting on the Investigation Bureau, it's better to count on myself." Mentioning this topic, Li Yi said seriously: "I have already thought about it before coming. After this boundary crossing ends, I plan to enter the Golden Academy and then join the boundary-crossing organization, instead of being controlled by others and waiting for an opportunity in line."

"That's a good idea, but your cultivation value should not be enough," Lin Jie said directly, not caring about hitting Li Yi's confidence.

Li Yi said: "My cultivation value before crossing the boundary was 800%. Now that I have broken through to Spirit Perception, I think my cultivation value will increase. Even if it doesn't reach 1,000%, I think it's about the same. I plan to go to the danger zone to practice for the rest, and if everything goes well, I should be able to be specially recruited into the Golden Academy."

"800% cultivation value?" As soon as this was said, the most shocked was Zhao Xiaoxiao.

She had always thought Li Yi's cultivation value was only 400%, after all, this was public data. She didn't expect the real data to be so terrifying.

Such a value made practitioners like them, who were relatively mediocre, simply unable to catch up.

In fact, Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't know that Li Yi's cultivation value was actually not high. His current achievements were all accumulated through repeated practice and growth. If they had Li Yi's experience, he estimated their cultivation values would be even higher than his.

However, Lin Yue was not surprised, just thought about it and said: "Li Yi, it's best to conduct a test of your cultivation value to see exactly how much it is. If the difference is really not much, it is indeed worth fighting for. Only by entering the Golden Academy will there be more opportunities to cross the boundary. Staying in Tianchang City is just a waste of time."

"No time to lose, I think it's better to conduct the test now."

Lin Yue said: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll accompany Li Yi to conduct the value test first, and then come back after it ends."

"Okay, no problem," everyone nodded.

"Li Yi, take me to your room," Lin Yue said.

"Alright." Li Yi didn't refuse.

Soon.

The two took the elevator to the top floor.

"Still the old method. I will help you guide the cosmic energy, and you will perform the cultivation value test. In addition, your Bone-Viewing Cultivation Technique must also be performed. In the cultivation value test for entering the Golden Academy, using cultivation techniques is not opposed. Many people whose cultivation values are outrageously high are also because they have mastered cultivation techniques," Lin Yue said.

Li Yi didn't talk nonsense and immediately performed the Bone-Viewing Cultivation Technique.

Seeing this, Lin Yue also immediately began to guide the cosmic energy seriously.

One hour later.

After several tests, it was finally determined that Li Yi's cultivation value had now reached 900%.

This was his limit. If there were no special opportunities, his cultivation value would be fixed here and could not continue to increase.

"Is it just 100 short of reaching the standard for special recruitment? It's too much of a pity. Now I can't think of any other things that can increase the cultivation value," Lin Yue was very annoyed at this moment, feeling it was not worth it for Li Yi.

Clearly, he had seen through the illusion, evolved his body, and added a series of overlays of the Bone-Viewing Cultivation Technique, but in the end, he was still 100 short. This 100 was enough to block people outside the Golden Academy, unable to become a special recruit.

"Is it just 100 short? Lin Jie, don't worry, I have another way to try," Li Yi suddenly thought of something. He immediately got up and took out a few Soul-Returning Pills from the collection room. These were the last few. Without any hesitation, he swallowed them all.

Soul-Returning Pills can nourish the soul and treat soul injuries, and when the soul is strong, the cultivation value will also increase.

"Lin Jie, test it again." Li Yi performed the Bone-Viewing Cultivation Technique again.

"Okay." Lin Yue didn't ask anything else and conducted the test again.

This time, there was indeed progress.

Li Yi's cultivation value reached 950, 960 or so, but it was still a little short.

"Damn it, still a little short," Lin Yue said: "Do you have any more of that pill? If you take a few more, I feel it will be about the same."

"None left, not even one," Li Yi shook his head with a smile.

Lin Yue said: "However, your method is indeed feasible. This kind of pill can indeed increase a person's cultivation value, but I feel that the effect of this pill on you seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Is it because the body has developed drug resistance, or is it because you are now in the Spirit Perception Realm, so the pill's help to you is no longer obvious?"

Li Yi also discovered that the effect of the Soul-Returning Pill on him began to decrease. This should be because his soul was strong, so the slight increase was no longer obvious.

But it shouldn't be completely ineffective. He felt that if there were ten more Soul-Returning Pills, his cultivation value should be able to break through to 1,000%.

"Lin Jie, I want to go to Ghost Street," Li Yi said suddenly.

"Looking for opportunities on Ghost Street? That's the only way. However, Ghost Street is very dangerous. Let Zhao Lingfu and I accompany you. The three of us Spirit Perception Realm experts join forces, even if we go to the danger zone, we can break in. If we encounter extraordinary creatures, we don't need to run away at all. I can kill my way through," Lin Yue clenched her fists and stood up. Her fists were shining brightly at this moment, clearly having integrated her boxing techniques and guidance techniques in these three months, and her strength had made great progress.

This growth in strength gave her great confidence.

"No, Lin Jie, I'll go alone. Ghost Street has vengeful ghosts, Yin soldiers, and ghosts and gods. I have special methods to avoid and hide, but it's not convenient if there are too many people," Li Yi said.

He wasn't unwilling to take Lin Yue to cross the boundary to the Four Seas and Bazhou, but was worried about accidents. If they provoked a thousand-year-old ghost god, it would be dangerous with their current strength.

Now keep a low profile. Once he had the strength to kill those thousand-year-old ghost gods, the road to the Four Seas and Bazhou would be unimpeded. At that time, he could take whoever he wanted.

"Alright then, be careful. With your current strength, I believe no ghost god can hurt you," Lin Yue said, and then a strange figure appeared in her mind.

With Li Yi's mom around, those evil things really didn't count for anything.

It was just that Li Yi had now broken through to Spirit Perception and might perceive his mom's existence at any time. At that time, this secret would probably not be hidden anymore.

"I need to find a suitable opportunity to tell Li Yi about this," Lin Yue felt that the time was almost ripe, and then said: "Li Yi, after you come back this time, I will take you to see my teacher, and at the same time, there are some things I want to tell you. By the way, the two ghost bamboos you gave me last time were sold by a senior sister of mine."

"They sold for 400 million in total. I gave the money to your housekeeper Zheng Lan."

"Ghost bamboo is so valuable?" Li Yi was very surprised.

Lin Yue said: "This is considered a low price because there were only two. If there were more, the price would be even higher. After all, two ghost bamboos can only extend life for one year. This value is limited. If you have 10 or 20 years of life to sell, that would be incredible. You could sell it for over 10 billion."

The longer life is, the more valuable it is; if it is too short, the value is limited.

"It seems I have a chance to get more ghost bamboo," Li Yi said: "So I don't have to go on adventures to hunt extraordinary creatures to make money in the future."

"Hunting extraordinary creatures is sometimes not just for money, but also to complete indicators. Besides, practitioners also need practice. I plan to take Lu Jue, Kong Sheng, and Zhao Xiaoxiao to practice in the next few days. They already have the cultivation of the Inspiration Realm and can almost participate in hunting missions," Lin Yue said: "Only after experiencing fighting and killing will people's potential be developed. If they only rely on the supernatural item cultivation room, then such practitioners are at best flowers in a greenhouse. They are fine usually, but if they really encounter something, they can't handle it at all."

"That's true. Then everything will be troublesome for you, Lin Jie," Li Yi said.

"Why are you being polite with me? Besides, you are the most important now. Only if you go far will our team have meaning and necessity. This boundary-crossing failure is nothing. After you enter the Golden Academy, I believe there will be more boundary-crossing opportunities. We will always find a world suitable for survival," Lin Yue said with a smile.

Li Yi also felt great pressure on himself at this moment.

Bearing the expectations of so many people, it would be a bit sorry for everyone if he didn't make some achievements.

However, he had also thought of a way out.

If he really couldn't find a better world to cross the boundary in the future, then he would take them to the Four Seas and Bazhou to take refuge. Although the cosmic energy of the Four Seas and Bazhou was thinner and not very suitable for Evolvers and practitioners, it was still better than staying here and being destroyed with this world. ===== CHAPTER 267 =====

Although the cosmic energy of the Four Seas and Bazhou was a bit thin and not very suitable for evolvers and cultivators, it was still better than staying here and being destroyed along with this world.
