Chapter 201: New System Function?

On the other side, the Gu family played the role of a ruthless harvester in this frenzy.

Outside the Gu family's divine island, Gu Xuan Ce set up a massive "Heavenly Stars and Dipper Capital-Verification Great Array".

All sects coming to bid must first deposit their own treasures into the array.

The array will give a score based on the treasure's value.

Only the top ten sects by score are qualified to step onto the divine island and participate in the final bidding.

As for those whose scores are insufficient, sorry, you don't even qualify as franchisees—take your junk and scram.

Only three days.

Outside the Capital-Verification Great Array, a treasure mountain piled up from various divine metals, immortal ores, and spirit medicines has risen.

Its treasure light shoots into the sky, dyeing the starry expanse of billions of miles in five colors, dazzling to the point of making one unable to open their eyes.

Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao, two newly ascended true immortals, were assigned to guard this treasure mountain.

"Tsk tsk, I now understand why the young master said robbery is lowly."

Gu Zhan, carrying his repaired giant axe, crouched atop the treasure mountain, casually picking up a fist-sized nine‑colored immortal gold and tossing it playfully,

"This isn't collecting money—it's practically printing money."

"Shut up and watch carefully."

Gu Xue Dao sat cross‑legged on the other side, eyes closed in meditation, but the slight upturn of his mouth still revealed his inner excitement.

They never imagined that one day, becoming an immortal could also become a monopolizable business.

Meanwhile, inside the Gu family's council hall, the atmosphere was fiery.

Gu Lin Tian sat in the chief seat, looking at the asset list compiled by Gu Lin Jiang, his hands trembling.

"Thirty strands of Nine‑Heaven Immortal Marrow… seventy stalks of Immortal Lotus… Chaotic Divine Source… Sun‑True Gold refined a hundred times… good grief, these old fogies have hidden their stash deep."

"This is just the appetizer."

Gu Yuan sat to the side, leisurely sipping tea,

"Once they taste the sweetness, they'll only bring out more."

"Then how many spots should we give for this first batch?" Gu Lin Tian asked.

"Three." Gu Yuan held up three fingers, "But we can tell those not selected that if they place their resources with the Gu family, they'll get priority next time."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin Tian's brief astonishment gave way to bright eyes.

One can't help but sigh—this son of mine is simply a genius!

Indeed, placing resources with the Gu family may grant priority next time.

But if everyone does that, it's just back to square one.

Yet if we don't… we'll fall several steps behind others.

On the path of cultivation, one step slow makes every step slow.

This is almost an unsolvable choice!

"Son, your idea is truly crafty!"

Gu Yuan gave his father an annoyed glance.

What is this old coot saying?

He's merely standing on the wisdom of his predecessors.

Just as he wondered whether to return to cultivation, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

【Ding! Detected that the host has completed the Emperor‑Burial Star Domain vacation task.】

【Myriad Heavens Vacation System, a new round of vacation is about to begin!】

【A new vacation world is being randomly selected……】

【Selection complete!】

【World Type: Low‑Level Era】

【World Name: Soul Power Continent!】

【Crossed out……】

【Continuing selection……】

【Selection complete!】

【World Type: Medium Battle Qi World】

【World Name: Battle Qi Continent!】

【Crossed out……】

【Crossed out……】

【Crossed out……】

【Ding! Detected that the current star domain difficulty is too low; given the host's overall combat power (including family background) has severely exceeded the threshold, failing to interest the host, the system is automatically upgrading……】

Gu Yuan: "???"

What does "failed to interest me" mean?

Don't say that.

These worlds actually sound interesting to me.

【Ding! System upgrade complete, new function unlocked.】

【New map loaded: Myriad Medicines Grand World!】

【World Tags: Alchemy, Plant Spirits, Peace (false), true‑immortal‑level herbs everywhere.】

【World Type: Ancient Immortal Relic】

【World Name: Myriad Medicines Continent!】

【World Background: This realm originally was the private medicinal garden of a supreme immortal king who mastered alchemy dao and formation dao in the Ancient Immortal

Countless immortal herbs and divine medicines have gained sentience and taken form, establishing a unique plant civilization; True Immortal-grade great medicines abound, and legendary Immortal King-grade longevity great medicines slumber in the core forbidden zone. Moreover, the myriad restrictions left by the Myriad Medicines God Sovereign have become guardian puppets that slaughter any intruder indiscriminately. Beneath the seemingly vibrant green sea, undercurrents stir and danger lurks at every step.

【Main Quest 1: Harvest the Myriad Medicines (become a diligent gardener).】

【Reward: True Immortal-grade great medicine (variety of choice, includes live specimens and seeds, quantity determined by the manually unlocked illustrated handbook)!】

【Main Quest 2: Seize the Medicines God's Legacy.】

【Reward: Myriad Medicines God Sovereign's true elucidation of alchemy and formations (Jue Dian Immortal King realm)!】

【Ultimate Quest: Refine the world's heart, become the new director.】

【Quest Reward: Chaos Spirit Stone Fragments!】

【Failure Penalty: None!】

【New Feature Online: Auto Strategy.】

【Explanation: Considering the host's overly lazy behavior (crossed out) during the previous vacation…… to enhance the host's vacation experience, the system has specially launched the "Auto Strategy" feature. The host needs not descend personally, and can choose either the "Injection" or "Input" mode to tackle the dungeon.】

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up.

Oh? This broken system finally became human-like once?

He sank his mind into the system panel and began studying it carefully.

【Input Mode: The host provides resources (such as treasures, spirit stones, origin, etc.), and the system automatically selects investment targets in the target world to conduct investment evolution, reaping the profits.】

【Injection Mode: The host may designate an executor (must be a member of the host's faction), projecting their consciousness, clone, or true self into the target world to act in the host's stead for the conquest. The system will generate an exclusive "character card" and "cheat" for the executor.】

【Note: Regardless of whether it is "Injection" or "Input" mode, the host can enter that world at any time; upon entering, the host automatically inherits the world's current highest completion record.】

「This isn't just looking for a power-leveler, is it? 」

」Gu Yuan laughed.

This feature is simply tailor-made for his kind of lazybones who just wants to lie flat!

That so-called "Myriad Medicines Great World"—just hearing the name tells you it's a place that abundantly produces medicinal herbs.

Although the label says True Immortal-grade medicinal herbs are everywhere, sounding very tempting.

But Gu Yuan has just refined a broken immortal domain, and his belly is now full; he has no interest in this purely resource-type world.

「System, this world has……」

He hadn't finished speaking.

The system, being very considerate, began frantically popping up windows.

Whether it's accurate or not aside, at least the sincerity is still there.

【Information disclosure complete.】

【Myriad Medicines Continent, its world laws are special; although it has True Immortal-grade great medicines, it cannot even remotely exhibit True Immortal combat power.】

【Combat power conversion as follows:】

【True Immortal-grade great medicine: corresponds to the Supreme of the 18th realm of the Primordial Immortal Domain (extremely few can reach the 19th realm), total number roughly between fifty and one hundred (including True Immortal-grade scriptures, pills, etc.).】

【Specific coordinates as follows……】

Gazing at the countless True Immortal-grade great medicines.

Gu Yuan still felt a bit tempted.

The main reason, naturally, is that he doesn't have to act himself.

Moreover, just looking at the system's temperament makes it clear.

Who knows whether stronger beings will pop up later.

So, it's best to find someone who isn't afraid of death to go in.

As for who…… who is the least afraid of death?

Gu Yuan stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping across the noisy hall.

First.

He then set his sights on his father, who cultivated the Three Lives Body Method.

「His father's Three Lives Method—losing one wouldn't matter, would it? 」
