Chapter 3430: Insufficient Resources

Chen Yueying saw Ye Liuyun interested in Bu Tian Stone and immediately began cutting the price.

She originally also wanted to help Ye Liuyun buy it, so she asked the Administrator for a 60% price. The Administrator eventually agreed; after all, leaving it there was fine, so she gave the princess some face.

But when it came time to pay, Ye Liuyun wouldn't let the princess spend money. After all, it was his desire to buy the item, and the princess could only use a Storage Ring for extra materials.

He sold his own sixth‑tier Defense Light Shield and some unused weapon Defense Artifacts, but kept the sixth‑tier attack short sword. In the end he also added over a thousand top‑grade Taixu Divine Crystals, and finally bought the Bu Tian Stones.

"You really are willing to give it up, even the Defense Artifact?" Chen Yueying, seeing Ye Liuyun had sold even the Defense Artifact, felt reluctant to let him pay and wanted to cover the cost, but Ye Liuyun firmly refused.

Later, Ye Liuyun also bought a batch of Body‑Refining Liquid. As for other cultivation resources, he had planned to look for something suitable, but the Divine Crystals he had were insufficient, so he gave up.

Chen Yueying watched silently, but when it came time to eat, she was reluctant to order anything too expensive.

"You're not trying to save me money, are you? Don't worry, order whatever you like; I can still produce the Crystal Stone for the meal!" Ye Liuyun reassured Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying wouldn't admit it and changed the subject: "Hmph, since you're helping me forge a Storage Ring, I'll let you off for now! But you're consuming resources far too quickly; you need to figure out a solution!"

"Indeed, that's a problem. Do you have any good ideas?" Ye Liuyun also thought that constantly selling things wasn't a solution.

The resources he had obtained from treasure hunting and from the Exiled Planet were almost all spent. The modest monthly stipend he earned as a guard was decent for an ordinary Martial Cultivator, but for him it wasn't even enough to buy a batch of Body‑Refining Liquid, making it trivial.

Chen Yueying thought it over seriously. After a while she said to Ye Liuyun: "How about you come back to the Sect with me to do missions? I'll exchange the points you earn for the resources you need, which is more cost‑effective than getting them outside."

I can't stay in the Royal Mansion forever; eventually you'll have to go to the Sect with me, I'll just rest a month or two less. Since it's for you to earn points through missions, if you put in a bit more effort I'll just be tagging along, okay?

Ye Liuyun considered it and thought it was a workable plan: "Alright then! While I do the missions, you don't need to intervene, just keep resting. I'll handle it, and you can wait for the results."

Chen Yueying nodded, but warned Ye Liuyun: "Once we're inside the Sect, I won't be that free, and many members don't know my identity, so I'll have little authority; you might end up taking some grievances!"

Ye Liuyun understood she meant the scheming, rivalrous environment within the Sect and the constraints of its rules, so he was mentally prepared.

"No problem, I've been to many Sects in the Divine Realm and know their inner workings. You don't need to worry about me!"

Chen Yueying affirmed: "I know your abilities; you can handle any situation! I'm just afraid some people might provoke you and upset you!"

"Heh, anyone who provoked me is dead now! Martial cultivation is just like that; you don't need to look after me, just take care of yourself later. If anyone truly comes looking for death, that's just an excuse to bring me resources."

Ye Liuyun smiled, but was completely indifferent.

Chen Yueying watched Ye Liuyun's confident smile and felt especially at ease.

"Alright then, but don't go out of your way to cause trouble for me!" She immediately started teasing Ye Liuyun.

"Haha, don't worry, I never go looking for trouble!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

After that, the two ate and chatted, and Chen Yueying told Ye Liuyun about various matters inside the Sect, which was quite enjoyable.

However, even though they decided to go to the Sect, Chen Yueying still persisted

to improve the gilded armor before leaving. She had seen Ye Liuyun sell the Defense Artifact and, since he would still be doing Sect missions, wanted to raise the grade of the gilded armor to make Ye Liuyun safer.

Ye Liuyun also agreed. He thought that after going to the Sect he wouldn't return often, so it was a good chance to upgrade the armor.

After the meal, Chen Yueying took Ye Liuyun for a walk around before returning to the Royal Mansion to arrange finding a refiner to forge equipment.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to forge many items for now, so he took out six sets of gilded armor and gave them to Chen Yueying to help forge.

"You really have that many?" Chen Yueying was surprised to see Ye Liuyun pull out so many gilded armors.

Ye Liuyun couldn't reveal that he had dozens more awaiting forging, so he told her: "There are two large‑size gilded armors for the Monster Beasts by my side, and another two for the two Leaders beside me."

Ye Liuyun was referring to Lei Ming, Long Nv, Ye Tiandao, Yueying, and Tang Xinyao.

He wanted to forge the armors for those main individuals first, and leave the rest until Tian Huo Laozu and other refiners break through, then replicate them slowly.

The high‑level refiners and alchemists within the Space World were also cultivating new techniques, condensing True Essence, and should be close to a breakthrough.

Even if the replicas can't reach high‑grade armor, a refiner of Tian Huo Laozu's caliber, once his realm breaks through, can easily forge second‑ or third‑tier void‑grade items.

Chen Yueying was worried about who would use those gilded armors—whether they might belong to the women around Ye Liuyun.

She also knew that Ye Liuyun was a notable in the Divine Realm, so he couldn't be without women. Thus she usually tried to avoid such thoughts to prevent jealousy. Seeing his words, her mood instantly shifted from bright to cloudy again.

She took charge of the armor forging entirely: "Alright then! I'll make the arrangements; you focus on cultivation!"

Ye Liuyun didn't bother to be polite; knowing the cost of forging the armor, he realized it wouldn't be cheap, so he would repay her slowly later.

After returning to the Cultivation Room, he first used the Body‑Refining Liquid to refine his body, then began using two fire spirits to smelt the Bu Tian Stones.

He tossed the Bu Tian Stones into the Swallow‑Heaven Cauldron, then poured the two fire sources in, letting them melt the stones on their own. Meanwhile, he used the time to spar with Chen Hui, sharpening his Spatial Power.

His overall strength now surpasses the newly‑joined disciples of the Qianling Sect he once captured, but he can't release them yet, so he gave them to Lei Ming and other Monster Beasts to train.

With Heaven and Earth Power and Divine Core, he uses the Golden Dragon Kuailei as an opponent and often employs his Guardian God Seal, letting them also grind repeatedly.
