Su Jiyai stepped out of the villa and headed toward the bustling market not too far from their location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disguised as an old woman with a weathered face and hunched back, she blended easily into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps were slow but deliberate, her eyes sharp as she scanned the various stalls and vendors along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The market was alive with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouts from merchants echoed through the air, as they tried to entice buyers with their goods—herbs, weapons, talismans, and most importantly for Su Jiyai, cultivation manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She approached a stall displaying a variety of worn scrolls and books, most of them ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor, an older man with a long beard, gave her a calculating look as she began examining the manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can I help you with, elder?” he asked politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai smiled faintly, her voice raspy from the disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m looking for cultivation manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that covers from the Qi Gathering Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.” The vendor raised an eyebrow, a gleam of interest in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those are rare and valuable, especially the ones that go beyond the Core Formation Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’ll cost you.” Su Jiyai chuckled softly, knowing this was part of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sure it will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But let’s see if you have anything worth my coins first.” She picked up one of the scrolls and unrolled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manual was for the Qi Gathering Stage, but it was incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several pages had been torn out or damaged over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Su Jiyai knew that even an incomplete manual could be useful back in her world, where resources were scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much for this one?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor squinted at the scroll and then at Su Jiyai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That one’s damaged, so I’ll give it to you for 50 spirit coins.” Su Jiyai shook her head, her expression stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty for a damaged manual?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll give you twenty.” The vendor laughed, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You insult me, elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-five, and that’s my final offer.” She pretended to mull it over before nodding slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, thirty-five.” As the vendor packed up the scroll, Su Jiyai continued looking through the other manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found a Core Formation manual, though it was missing its final chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also spotted a Nascent Soul Stage manual, which looked complete but was scribbled with strange notes from a previous owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed to both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And these?” The vendor stroked his beard thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For both, I’d say 200 spirit coins.” Su Jiyai’s eyes narrowed behind her disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“200?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For incomplete manuals?” She clicked her tongue in disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you 120 for the pair.” The vendor frowned, clearly not happy with her low offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, these manuals are rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they’re not perfect, they still hold valuable knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>180 coins, and I’m already losing money.” Su Jiyai sighed, feigning reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“150 and not a coin more.” The vendor considered it for a moment before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“150 it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only because you remind me of my grandmother.” Su Jiyai gave him a tight smile as she handed over the coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, she had just enough money left for a few more purchases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued to browse the market, picking up a few other manuals along the way—some for the Soul Transformation Stage, though those were particularly expensive, even in incomplete form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, she haggled the price down, using her guise as an old woman to play on the vendor’s sympathies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she was done, her coin pouch was nearly empty, but her bag was filled with valuable cultivation knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied with her purchases, she made her way back to the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, why did you buy incomplete manuals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t complete them until and unless you have a cultivation genius.] Su Jiyai hummed a tune as she said, “I am going to try and see if I can figure them out, and if I still can’t, I post it as a request and exchange it for something else.” “Xi Ping, I am home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go.” Su Jiyai called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she entered the villa, she saw Xi Ping staring at one of the walls with a dazed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xi Ping?” Xi Ping blinked as if she had come out of a daze and turned toward Su Jiyai with a sheepish smile, “Yes?” “What were you staring at?” Su Jiyai asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…I felt a strange kind of pull from the wall…I suspect there is something behind the wall.” Xi Ping said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai approached the wall where Xi Ping had been staring, her eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange pull she felt now was undeniable, and curiosity tugged at her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System, analyze the wall,” she commanded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system hummed in response, taking a moment before its voice echoed in her mind, [Host, this wall is hiding a cultivation pool behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool has powerful properties—any cultivator who soaks in its waters can rapidly increase their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s incredibly rare.] Su Jiyai’s eyes widened in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A cultivation pool…” she whispered, feeling a surge of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly turned to Xi Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a cultivation pool behind this wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we enter, we can absorb its energy to increase our cultivation rapidly.” Xi Ping’s jaw dropped, and she blinked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A cultivation pool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here?” Su Jiyai nodded, her mind racing with possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems this villa holds more secrets than we thought.” Without hesitation, she summoned her fire element and directed a stream of flames toward the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire roared as it consumed the surface, turning it into ash within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final flicker, the wall crumbled, revealing… an empty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai and Xi Ping stood frozen, staring at the bare, hollow space in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mystical water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system’s voice sounded baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, this is strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can still sense the existence of the pool, but I don’t understand why it’s not visible.] Xi Ping scratched her head, her expression puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Boss Su, are you sure the system wasn’t mistaken?” Su Jiyai frowned, stepping into the empty room and scanning every corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel it—something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gut told her the pool was here, but hidden somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed her hand against the cold floor, feeling the lingering energy beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few moments of silence, Su Jiyai finally spoke, “I don’t think we were wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s something here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just isn’t showing itself.” She stood up, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might be an illusion array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful one, at that.” Thanks to the cultivation world, Su Jiyai got a general idea of things other than cultivation levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrays, charms, talismans, and weapon making, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping’s eyes widened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An illusion array?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s still here, but we can’t see it?” Su Jiyai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, that’s my guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illusion arrays can conceal places, hide treasures, or even warp reality for anyone trying to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pool must be hidden behind an array, and we’ll need to figure out how to break through it.” Xi Ping crossed her arms, looking around the room warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think we can?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounds tricky.” Su Jiyai smirked, determination sparking in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing is impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just need the right approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it won’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking illusion arrays can be dangerous.” Su Jiyai stood still, analyzing the room’s subtle energy fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System,” Su Jiyai called out in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any suggestions on how to break through this array?” [Host, the array seems complex, but its energy source is concentrated in the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might be able to disrupt it by channeling energy toward that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I advise caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interfering with arrays can cause unexpected reactions.] Su Jiyai nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was aware of the risks, but the prospect of accessing the cultivation pool was too valuable to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Xi Ping, Su Jiyai said, “There’s a chance we can break the array by channeling energy into the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll handle this, but I need you to stay alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything goes wrong, be ready to pull me out.” Xi Ping nodded, her expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.984Z",1,"novelbin.me","23507b2868a32dd0d45afe27a73d4b54a65041e58a2cb69f66639510a3a3329c","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-417","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-415",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
