Chapter 70: Lavish Spending

After daybreak, he went to Han Shan to exchange resources.

So many points must be used, otherwise leaving them there is waste.

He went straight to Han Shan, first asking him to help pick cultivation techniques. "Huh, your realm has advanced?"

Han Shan, upon seeing him, immediately sensed his realm's advancement.

"Yes! Reached True Origin Double!"

"Your speed is too fast, isn't it? After the contest you only broke through to True Essence First Level, and now, without even a month, you're at True Origin Double?" Han Shan asked, puzzled.

One must know that cultivating the True Essence Realm is not easy to breakthrough, much slower than the Body Refining Realm.

Even the gifted disciples in the preparatory camp need at least three to six months for an early‑stage breakthrough of the True Essence Realm; in the mid and late stages, breakthroughs are even slower.

Ye Liuyun also knew his speed was abnormal, so he explained, "Perhaps the stimulation at Wan Zang Post accelerated my breakthrough!"

Han Shan nodded, didn't doubt further, and asked Ye Liuyun what techniques he now needed.

Ye Liuyun thought, his Lingkong Art, Cutting Heaven Finger, and Illusion Eye Technique were all of high grade; perhaps the Royal Mansion didn't have higher‑grade techniques.

Thus they could only focus on Thunder Fist and Overlord Blade Art.

Han Shan recommended a lightning‑related fist, the Purple Lightning Frenzy Art, which is a Mysterious Tier supreme grade. It has some continuity with Ye Liuyun's previous techniques.

For sword methods, he suggested five or six types for him to glance at first.

After Han Shan brought the techniques, Ye Liuyun took them, flipped through them casually, then returned them.

"What's wrong? Unsatisfied with these techniques?" Han Shan asked, frowning.

"No, I have recorded them all!" Ye Liuyun said.

"Huh? You recorded all of them?"

Cultivators generally have better memory than ordinary people. But someone like Ye Liuyun, who can memorize after a casual glance, is still astonishingly extraordinary!

Han Shan, skeptical, opened a few random pages to test him; he recited them flawlessly, not a single word wrong.

Han Shan was so shocked his mouth hung open; finally he chuckled wryly and said, "Fine! This is the difference between a prodigy and ordinary people! Your achievements will surely be limitless in the future! This Royal Mansion probably can't contain you!"

After sighing for a while, Han Shan finally remembered to ask Ye Liuyun if there was anything else.

Ye Liuyun, having exchanged the techniques, now needed to exchange resources.

Han Shan then let him state his requirements.

The first thing he wanted to trade was materials for Body Refining. Since breaking through the third layer of Immortal Overlord Body, Body Refining now requires even higher‑grade materials.

The fourth layer of Body Refining needs Five Elements Crystal Stones. He had already obtained one fire and one water Crystal Stone from the bandit hideout in Zhu Jia Village, but the quantity was insufficient; each element requires at least five stones, so he still needed the earth, metal, and wood Crystal Stones.

Han Shan immediately agreed, telling him there was stock on hand. Ye Liuyun promptly gathered five of each Crystal Stone.

Ye Liuyun was ecstatic! He hadn't expected the points here to be so valuable. Outside, even ten thousand medium‑grade Crystal Stones couldn't buy a single one of these special stones.

Next, Ye Liuyun also decided to obtain the Five Elements Spirit Marrow required for the fifth layer of Immortal Overlord Body. This Spirit Marrow is far more precious than the Five Elements Crystal Stones.

But Han Shan also agreed, deducting only ten points per item. Ye Liuyun exchanged ten portions of each.

Ye Liuyun thought, next should be the materials for the Blood Vein Pill.

He currently refines Blood Vein Pills with Golden Yuan Fruit, but Golden Yuan Fruit is low grade and his body has developed tolerance. Now a Blood Vein Pill offers little benefit, so the pill should be upgraded.

Thus he proposed using Sacred Origin Fruit to replace Golden Yuan Fruit, Blood Lotus Seed to replace Blood Vein Herb, and True Dragon Essence Blood to replace Beast Blood. Of course, if True Dragon Blood is unavailable, Jiao Blood or blood from a ferocious beast with Dragon Clan lineage would also suffice.

But Han Shan told him that True Dragon Essence Blood is simply more expensive; one drop costs three hundred points, and Ye Liuyun needs at least ten drops.

"Exchange!" Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

"These herbs and quantities will cost you six thousand points at once; are you sure you want to exchange?" Han Shan confirmed again.

"Exchange! Points are meant for exchanging resources; why not take good resources!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"Fine! Money, be reckless!" Han Shan reluctantly recorded everything. Still, they're all for strengthening, so it's understandable.

Then Ye Liuyun exchanged enough Condensation Pill, Concentration Pill and other alchemy materials, and upgraded all herb grades.

However, these herbs were relatively cheap, and he still had over three thousand points left unused.

"I'll use the remainder to get weapons! I don't need anything else!" Ye Liuyun said.

Han Shan looked at Ye Liuyun, almost to tears. "Do you know how valuable points are here? Everything here costs sky‑high prices outside; only here can you exchange them for points. Is it really okay for you to squander them like this?"

Ye Liuyun replied, "I only know that if you have resources, you must use them; otherwise they just sit there dead! Exchange them; at worst the points run out, and I'll earn more later!"

Han Shan pursed his lips and asked what kind of weapons he wanted to exchange for.

"Bows, arrows, and swords; the higher the grade, the better."

Finally Han Shan recommended a Blazing Sun Bow. Its attribute is the opposite of the Ice Moon Bow, being fire‑aligned. It is an Earth Tier low‑grade bow.

Ye Liuyun immediately agreed. If he modifies this bow, adding Divine Sense Lock and effects of lightning, poison, etc., its grade could rise another tier. In the True Essence Realm, he'd be invincible!

Then Ye Liuyun exchanged for a Qingyun Blade. This blade is a Mysterious Tier supreme grade, a full tier higher than his previous weapon.

Though Ye Liuyun didn't care about the blade's grade, in combat a stronger weapon is always better. Now he has the means, of course…

…even a slight boost to his strength wouldn't make him reluctant to spend.

But after all that, Ye Liuyun still had 1,500 points left.

I must say, the points of the Golden Armor Guard are simply too valuable! Ye Liuyun feels an endless sense of extravagance.

"Exchange for a treasure alchemy furnace." The furnace he currently uses is just an ordinary one with no special features.

Thus, he spent all remaining points to obtain a Mysterious Tier supreme alchemy furnace with a roughly 30% chance to raise pill grades.

Han Shan was completely speechless! Seeing this kid's stance, he won't stop until every point is exchanged.

With the final 500 points, after giving Han Shan the points for the Jiao tendon, he also bought a Mysterious Tier superior dagger, plus a good amount of ferocious beast meat and medicinal wine.

Han Shan asked why he exchanged a dagger.

He awkwardly replied, "It's for slicing meat when barbecuing! A regular dagger is too labor‑intensive for cutting meat."

It made Han Shan so angry he felt an urge to beat him up.

Having finally spent all the points, Ye Liuyun felt a lightness throughout his body!

And Han Shan glanced at the things he had recorded in his hand, couldn't help but silently curse, "This prodigal! No matter how many points he has, it's not enough for him the way he spends!"

Even after Ye Liuyun had already left, Han Shan kept gnashing his teeth, cursing Ye Liuyun for being a spendthrift.

In fact, even these hall guards use points to exchange resources! This shows how important points are in the Golden Armor Guard.

Moreover, these points amount to a huge discount for them in the Golden Armor Guard. Outside, many things can't be bought even if you want to, let alone whether you can afford them.
