Chapter 981: Resources Sold Out! Identity Exposed!

“Oh? Four items, three of them are for boosting psychic levels—aren’t you taking anything else?”

Hei Yu’s crimson eyes fixed on Xu Jingming, luring him: “There are plenty of resources here that can enhance your strength.”

“No.” Xu Jingming shook his head.

Indeed, there were many fine items on the exchange list.

Even several SSR-grade pills and rare herbs.

But these items, though rare in the outside world, were not entirely nonexistent.

Only elemental essences capable of elevating psychic abilities to SS rank and the Supreme Divine Blood were utterly unobtainable outside!

Yangshen Pills cost four million Void Stones, their effect similar to Yangshen Fluid—both restore mental energy.

He was never an ungrateful man.

Without Elder Su, he would never have acquired so many Void Stones.

Therefore, these Yangshen Pills were meant for him, as was the Lightning Elemental Essence.

The remaining one could be given to Teacher Su Qingli.

And the resource he had reserved for himself? That Supreme Divine Blood.

With the Body Strengthening Art enhancing me, my physique is already comparable to an S-level reinforcement-type psychic.

“If I use this Supreme Divine Blood, my physique should strengthen further.”

Xu Jingming thought silently.

His Chaos Divine Thunder psychic ability had already been upgraded to SSS rank.

The system interface showed no option to allocate points to physique.

If so, he could only try to obtain a reinforcement-type ability through other means.

Though Ice and Light Elemental Essences could be given to Jiang Chuxuan and Song Qiuyun,

exchanging for them now would serve no immediate purpose.

The exchange list wouldn’t appear just once—waiting until he gathered enough Void Stones later was fine.

“You’re strange—four items, and only one benefits you.”

Hei Yu blinked in surprise, then flapped his wings: “There’s only one essence each for Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Light, and Darkness.

I can’t exchange two Lightning Elemental Essences for you—pick something else.”

“Can’t exchange?” Xu Jingming frowned.

“Is there any artifact that can upgrade Space psychic ability from S to SS rank?” he asked again.

He hadn’t seen anything on the list related to upgrading Space psychic ability.

“Space psychic ability is a higher-order law—there’s nothing like that on this list.”

Hei Yu yawned lazily. “But once you reach the 13th floor, the new exchange roster will have it.”

“Oh?” Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up.

That meant Ling Shuang’s Space psychic ability might evolve too.

“Since I can’t get two Lightning Elemental Essences, give me one Shengyuan Pill and one Tianyuan Pill.”

After a moment’s thought, Xu Jingming spoke.

Shengyuan Pill!

SSR-grade cultivation resource—consumption allows a seamless, side-effect-free ascent from Eighth Stage peak to Ninth Stage!

Price: three million Void Stones.

After he used the system to reach Eighth Stage peak, he could use this Shengyuan Pill to directly ascend to Ninth Stage!

The Tianyuan Pill is an SSS+ cultivation resource aiding Ninth Stage psychics, priced at one million Void Stones.

Together, they exactly exhausted his remaining four million Void Stones.

“As you wish, but wait a moment—the resources need time to arrive,” Hei Yu said casually.

“This?!” Xu Jingming and Su Qingli’s expressions changed slightly.

They were most short on time—how could they afford to wait?

If a Ninth Stage peak expert arrived, they’d never escape!

“Young man, don’t rush—have patience,”

Hei Yu chuckled, then flapped his wings—the exchange list instantly changed.

‘......

Lightning Elemental Essence: causes Lightning psychic ability to evolve to SS rank. Price: Void Stones. (Sold out)

Supreme Divine Blood (Dragon): causes a reinforcement-type psychic ability to evolve into an SS-rank dragon-type psychic ability with a random form. Price: Void Stones. (Sold out)

Yangshen Pill: ...... (Sold out)

Shengyuan Pill: ...... (Sold out)

Tianyuan Pill: ...... (Sold out)

......’

Each item Xu Jingming had selected for exchange was now marked with “(Sold out).”

“Lord Hei Yu, what is this?!” Su Qingli’s face paled.

Xu Jingming’s expression darkened too, but he remained silent.

With this list updated, everyone outside now knew exactly what he had exchanged for.

That meant he could never again reveal the presence of the Heiyao-class fighter or the Iron Thread Lotus.

Otherwise, he’d have to kill them immediately after exposure—or face endless pursuit.

Even after returning to Blue Star, it would be the same.

“The Lightning Elemental Essence and Dragon Supreme Divine Blood have been taken!”

“Sold out! So these are now exclusive?”

“The Shengyuan Pill—capable of direct Ninth Stage breakthrough! Gone already?!”

“......”

Outside, those who noticed the list update burst into exclamations.

Many even stared hungrily at the fighter.

Resources capable of evolving psychic abilities to SS rank—and only one of each!

Anyone would covet them!

The remaining Ninth Stage mid-rank Martial Saint in the crowd also flashed a sharp gaze, eyes locked on the fighter.

“Don’t worry—it’s just a list update. It won’t affect you.”

Seeing Xu Jingming still silent, Hei Yu’s crimson eyes flickered with surprise, then he smiled.

Hei Yu was the main AI of Po Xu Tower—Su Qingli knew her anger was meaningless.

She bit her lips lightly and swiftly suppressed all emotion.

“That’s better. Don’t rush—the resources are coming soon.”

Hei Yu remained calm as ever.

At that moment, Eva’s face suddenly paled as she cried out:

“Danger! A Heiyao-class fighter is approaching! It’s Leo! A Ninth Stage peak from the Lei Ding family!”

Shu—

A holographic projection appeared in the cockpit—a sleek, streamlined fighter shot toward them like lightning.

Simultaneously, a voice from Daxia echoed outside the cockpit:

“I recognize it! It’s Xu Jingming! That Heiyao-class fighter is his! I saw it when he served as the Chaxunshi of Thunder Martial Hall in Shanghai!”

PS: Sorry, sorry—today was busy at the company, worked until nine—only one chapter today. I’ll make it up this weekend...
