Chapter 1719: Resource Shortage

Ye Liuyun forged a Divine Rank pill in one go, also handled Li Manfu, and was in a good mood.

"I won't stay here forever to refine pills!"

He began scheming in his mind.

Western Liang Royal Mansion is Li Yuanyang's superior.

For each city, the Western Liang Royal Mansion sends a person to supervise, ensuring recruitment numbers and selection ratios.

At the same time, that person also serves as a training instructor, giving Martial Cultivators some guidance.

As long as Ye Liuyun can attract that person's attention, whether he stays or leaves will no longer be up to Li Yuanyang.

Li Manfu would never think that Ye Liuyun wants to go to the battlefield and refuses to stay at Chengzhu Fu, so he had no guard against that.

In his view, Ye Liuyun merely wants someone to spar with.

Ye Liuyun's alchemy level already surpasses the Alchemists in the mansion, enough for Li Yuanyang to sponsor him.

Who would abandon a fine Alchemist role to recklessly fight the Foreign Tribe?

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun settled down peacefully, returned to the Space World to spar with his clone, and before entering the selection tournament, gave a thorough check of his strength.

The powers of flame, lightning, and Buddha Demon Power, which once produced a bucket‑wide palm attack, now are only as thick as a single fist.

The contained power hasn't changed; it's just condensed too intensely.

The Mysterious Origin inside the Yuan Pill is the same.

The Yuan Pill's size remains unchanged, but the Mysterious Origin's mass has drastically changed, compressed to less than a quarter of its original.

So Ye Liuyun now needs a large amount of Mysterious Origin to fill the Yuan Pill.

The Storage Yuan Stone is the same; suddenly a huge void appears, making it hard for Ye Liuyun and his clone to fill it.

Now, for Ye Liuyun to fully cultivate Mysterious Origin, he needs a great amount of time and energy.

So he usually avoids using Mysterious Origin whenever possible.

Even the Mysterious Origin needed for sky‑riding flight is saved whenever possible.

The Heaven and Earth Power can be used normally, but since he hasn't reached the Divine Realm, the attacks it produces have almost no effect on Divine Realm strongmen.

The Spatial Power is even worse; now he can't even enter the first layer of void.

The Divine Realm not only has stronger gravity, but its void barriers are far sturdier than those of the Mortal Realm.

Even his strongest void‑movement can only shift a small object nearby.

In the Mortal Realm, a full‑force punch or a full‑force slash could tear the void, but now it only makes the void tremble slightly.

Only the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique is the most useful, helping Ye Liuyun gather spiritual energy and speed up his cultivation.

But he originally only has two Yuan Pills, so even with the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, his cultivation speed can only match that of ordinary Martial Cultivators.

As for Soul cultivation, he can only rely on the devouring effect of the Ten Thousand Gods Command.

Moreover, he has become weak now; his Soul lacks a clear advantage, so he dares not readily use Spiritual Soul Attack on others.

His domain still exists, but the three Guardian God Seals have been compressed to human size, looking far less majestic than before.

The original hundred golden war soldiers were directly squeezed out of existence.

Ye Liuyun no longer tries to create any war soldiers, deeming them useless.

He feeds source powers such as lightning, flame, and Buddha Demon Power into it, reshaping it into his own Divine Realm domain.

However, this domain is only a hundred zhang in size.

He doubts whether he can employ it against enemies.

For a moment, Ye Liuyun felt that all his abilities needed to be improved quickly.

Otherwise, if danger arises now, he can only rely on Magic Vine; he has no means of self‑protection.

So he immediately took out the fourth‑tier Divine Realm Yuan Pill he obtained from the Bronze Ox's belly and used it, together with his clone, to raise his realm.

He can't wait for later; he must use every available resource.

After this is exhausted, the resources he needs for cultivation become even scarcer.

When he and his clone finish absorbing the energy inside this Yuan Pill, their realms will reach the mid‑stage of the first level of the Divine Realm.

The energy inside that Divine Realm Yuan Pill suffers loss during cultivation; it cannot be fully absorbed.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun still needs to fill the Storage Yuan Stone.

Once the Storage Yuan Stone's stored energy is full, it can supply Ye Liuyun with six full Mysterious Origin refills.

His current Mysterious Origin density is much higher than before.

With a fully filled Yuan Pill, he can use the Gilded Divine Bow four times.

So these six replenishments already have a great effect.

Although Ye Liuyun feels his progress is slow, for a Martial Cultivator newly arrived in the Divine Realm, his advancement speed is already considered fast.

He can no longer worry about others; he must first improve himself to better help others obtain resources.

Man Shu and the others also suggested that they should join the selection to obtain their own resources, not wanting to reap without effort alongside Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought about it and agreed with their idea.

At present, relying on himself alone, he truly cannot support so many people.

And Man Shu and the others likewise need combat training.

So he told everyone to seize the time to cultivate and improve quickly.

Man Shu and Lei Ming have suitable resources.

Long Nv and Ye Tiandao, Ye Liuyun lets them directly absorb the Primordial Power of the Space World for cultivation.

For now they use some; later when resources appear, they can replenish.

But the two of them insist on not using it, fearing it would weaken Ye Liuyun's Space World power.

They spend each day honing combat skills and forging their Physical Body; no matter how Ye Liuyun urges them, it has no effect.

Ye Liuyun cultivated for a night, and to avoid being discovered, he withdrew from the Space World early.

Because the Divine Realm has Martial Cultivators from various worlds, the techniques are diverse.

Many people don't necessarily practice something like the Space World.

So he also tries not to expose his strength in any aspect.

In the morning, Li Manfu was the first to come and check on Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun chatted with him for a while.

During the chat, Ye Liuyun learned that Li Manfu receives each month ten Divine Crystals, and thirty each of Refining Qi pills and Body‑refining pills.

However, according to Li Manfu, this condition is already quite good.

Ordinary guards can't even get that many.

Common civilians rarely even see Divine Crystals.

Ye Liuyun recalled that he indeed had never seen Divine Crystals at Old Li's place.

Perhaps Old Li has some storage, but the amount would definitely not be large.

The ferocious beasts Ye Liuyun hunts yield a first‑mid‑stage Yuan Dan; two of those can be exchanged for one Divine Crystal, while a late‑stage first‑tier beast's Yuan Dan can be exchanged for one Divine Crystal.

A second‑mid‑stage Yuan Dan can be exchanged for ten Divine Crystals, and a late‑stage one for twenty…

The Yuan Dan from the beasts in Ye Liuyun's hands can probably only be exchanged for a little over forty Divine Crystals.

Yet even so, Li Manfu was already very envious of him.

Forty Divine Crystals equal his four months' salary.

For an ordinary guard, that would be enough for them to earn over half a year.

City Lord Li Yuanyang also came early to find Ye Liuyun, taking him to rush to the Mysterious Origin Lou Chamber of Commerce.

When it comes to making money, he is still very proactive.
