Chapter 50

Hua Hua Manlou had given 100,000 taels in medical fees, and adding the 300 taels or so he originally had left, his current medical fee total was just over 100,000 taels.

This was the first time Li Li Lianhua had received such a huge medical fee, which made Li Li Lianhua sigh with emotion in his heart.

As expected of Hua Hua Manlou, as expected of the Hua family that controlled the Datong Bank!

Shaking his head, he pushed these thoughts in his mind aside for the moment and looked at the conditions for treasure chest exchange.

The first treasure chest required 9,000 taels of silver? No problem-!

But the second one jumped to 15,000 taels? This increase made Li Li Lianhua mutter a complaint, but he exchanged it anyway!

Then the third treasure chest, soaring again to 23,000 taels?

This really gave him the feeling of leveling up in an online game!

After leveling up each time, the price required increases significantly?

In the future, the price will surely become so expensive that he can no longer afford to exchange for them, right?

Silently shaking his head, he exchanged for the third treasure chest as well!

Then the exchange price for the fourth treasure chest increased again, reaching 33,000 taels!

After this fourth treasure chest was exchanged, Li Li Lianhua's medical fees were left with just over 20,000 taels!

And the price for subsequent treasure chest exchanges soared to 45,000 taels!

Painful and happy—this was Li Li Lianhua's mood every time he exchanged for treasure chests!

Happy because he could exchange for treasure chests and get good things!

Painful, naturally, because every time he saw the price of the subsequent treasure chests soar after he finished exchanging, his heart ached!

Shaking his head, he temporarily suppressed the feeling of heartache!

The increase in the exchange price of the treasure chests was fixed; no matter when he exchanged, the price would rise like this, there was no way around it.

Wouldn't it be better to exchange a day early and enjoy the items and skills opened a day early?

Thinking about it this way, he felt much better!

His gaze fell on the four treasure chests he had just exchanged for, and Li Li Lianhua secretly anticipated them in his heart.

Today, with this four-chest draw, what good things could he open?

Li Li Lianhua opened the first treasure chest; the brilliant light was as usual, and the special effects were still quite good.

As the light dissipated, two rice balls appeared in Li Li Lianhua's hand!

As Li Li Lianhua lowered his head, his gaze fell on these rice balls, and the corresponding information about them emerged in his heart.

This was another item from the Doraemon series, following the Gourmet Tablecloth: Momotaro Rice Balls!

And the effect of these Momotaro Rice Balls?

It was also very simple: use them on any animal, and as long as you throw them, the animal will naturally open its mouth and eat them.

Then, within a certain time limit, it will become a pet and completely obey instructions!

"As far as I know, there are quite a few exotic beasts in this world; for example, the Hu Kui? For example, the Fire Fire Qilin in Lingyun Cave, and, the Divine Dragon?"

Looking at these Momotaro Rice Balls, he had originally thought this item didn't have much use!

However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Li Lianhua felt that when facing certain powerful exotic beasts, these Momotaro Rice Balls might be able to exert miraculous effects?

Putting them away, Li Li Lianhua then turned his gaze to the second treasure chest!

Without any nonsense, the second treasure chest was opened directly; the brilliant light bloomed as usual!

Immediately after, a mass of misty light floated out and merged into Li Li Lianhua's mind!

Feeling something in his heart, it was still that feeling of something he had forgotten for a long time suddenly being remembered!

Li Li Lianhua understood that this second treasure chest had opened a skill!

The Clone Technique, one of the three basic techniques of the Naruto series!

This skill could create two phantom clones; although they were not as good as the Shadow Clone Technique which created physical entities.

However, at certain times, creating two phantoms could still be useful, right?

Besides, having more skills never hurts!

Although he had opened such a Clone Technique, Li Li Lianhua felt his hand was a bit unlucky this time, but he could only comfort himself this way!

Opening treasure chests is just like that—it's gambling; sometimes you're lucky and can open good things, and sometimes you're unlucky and the things you open are quite mediocre; this is understandable!

However, he secretly sighed in his heart that the effect of this Clone Technique didn't seem particularly great, and then, Li Li Lianhua's gaze turned to the third treasure chest!

As the third treasure chest opened, after the brilliant light dissipated, a flower appeared in Li Li Lianhua's hand.

More accurately, it was two flowers growing from the same stem, one red and one white, and their auras also gave people a feeling of being yin-soft and yang-hard respectively!

As Li Li Lianhua's gaze focused, the information about these two flowers growing from the same stem also emerged!

However, upon learning what this flower in his hand was, Li Li Lianhua's expression became somewhat strange!

Forget-River Flower!

In the original work of the Lotus Building, it was the flower that was frantically searched for, capable of curing the Bi-Tea Poison in his body!

However, when he awakened the Dual-Handed Art, he had already cured his own Bi-Tea Poison; and now, a Forget-River Flower is given to him?

Shaking his head, Li Li Lianhua temporarily put the Forget-River Flower away!

Although he had already cured the Bi-Tea Poison and this Forget-River Flower seemed to have no effect on him anymore!

But in reality, this Forget-River Flower was also a very rare medicinal ingredient!

Now that he had a pill furnace and the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, whenever he could open something related to alchemy and medicine in the future, wouldn't this Forget-River Flower have a use?

Therefore, all in all, being able to open such a Forget-River Flower was definitely not being unlucky!

Following this, Li Li Lianhua's gaze turned to the last treasure chest!

Momotaro Rice Balls, Forget-River Flower, and Clone Technique!

The things opened from these three treasure chests were not very bad, but they were not very good either. What could this last treasure chest open?

Li Li Lianhua walked to the side and washed his hands first, giving himself a bit of psychological comfort!

Immediately, the fourth treasure chest was opened by Li Li Lianhua!

The brilliant light bloomed again, and then, another mass of misty light appeared and slowly merged into Li Li Lianhua's mind!

With the same feeling as before, Li Li Lianhua understood what had been opened from this fourth treasure chest!

This was a skill, the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique, one of the Eight Miraculous Skills!

If one were to talk about value, this Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique, along with the Dual-Handed Art and the Six-Storey Immortal Thief, were all ranked among the Eight Miraculous Skills, so their value was naturally similar!

However, in this integrated Wu Lin world, did the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique have any use? Li Li Lianhua expressed doubt!

What was the function of the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique? It was the ability to control spiritual bodies, or souls!

If this Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique were placed in an immortal cultivation world, or even a ghost world, its effect would be absolutely immense!

However, in this integrated Wu Lin world, no matter how powerful the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique was, it seemed to have no use, right?

It's like a limited edition Vacheron Constantin watch; it would be absolutely very valuable in a prosperous age!

However, what if it were placed in an apocalypse where people couldn't even get enough to eat?

No matter how valuable the watch is, it wouldn't be as useful as a few loaves of bread, right?

"Eh? That's not right..." He muttered a complaint in his heart that the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique had no use in this integrated Wu Lin world, but immediately after, Li Li Lianhua had a new thought!

That Ghost Immortal Mo Yi of Penglai Immortal Island was thinking every day about how to resurrect his younger sister, and had even taken action against Ye Luoyi. If he didn't have his sister's soul in hand, it would be hard to explain!

Furthermore, there was Hong Hong Xixiang, the reincarnation of Lu Zu; Xu Fengnian, the reincarnation of the True Martial Great Emperor; Wang Wang Xianzhi, the reincarnation of the White Emperor, and so on!

With so many people who had reincarnated through shedding their mortal bodies, to say there were no souls in this world? That would be hard to explain, right?

Therefore, in this integrated Wu Lin world, the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique was still useful.

It was just that the souls in this world were hidden deeper, unlike in immortal cultivation or ghost worlds, where they were easily discovered!

Of course, it was also possible that in the integrated Wu Lin world, the vast majority of people were actually practicing martial arts, so there were few people who could come into contact with souls!

"Looking at it this way, I have already extracted three of the Eight Miraculous Skills. Although the things opened from the treasure chests have everything, they seem to be more closely related to the world of 'Under One Person'?"

Thinking that the Spirit-Restraining and Soul-Sending Technique was already the third of the Eight Miraculous Skills he had opened, Li Li Lianhua muttered to himself.

Shaking his head, he pushed these messy thoughts aside and continued to sit cross-legged, operating the Taiji Profound Clarity Path technique!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was rapidly absorbed by Li Li Lianhua, and then, rapidly converted into his own true essence!

The true essence circulated in the meridians, increasing bit by bit!

Although he couldn't very clearly feel the extent of the true essence's increase, gathering sand into a tower, water dripping through stone—as time passed, this quantitative change was enough to cause a qualitative change!

Now that his cultivation was already at the sixth level of the Jade Clarity realm, Li Li Lianhua was still looking forward to it; once his cultivation reached the eighth level of the Jade Clarity realm, he would have the conditions to perform the Divine Sword Thunder-Controlling True Technique he had extracted before, right?

For such a miraculous technique that could be called top-tier even in an immortal cultivation world, Li Li Lianhua was still looking forward to what kind of power it would have!

As the night grew deeper, the Lotus Building also became quiet, and even the Fox Spirit was lying in the doghouse at the entrance, looking quiet!

The moonlight in the night sky seemed to be vaguely gathering on the Fox Spirit.

Bathing its body in the rich moonlight, the Fox Spirit absorbed these lunar essences bit by bit!

Although it had no cultivation techniques, the Fox Spirit was just absorbing them instinctively!

However, as these lunar essences were absorbed bit by bit, the power within the Fox Spirit's body was also accumulating bit by bit!

Thus, during the day, the Lotus Building traveled on the road to the Ming Cult, and at night, it stopped to rest, fully exerting the function of a recreational vehicle; in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed!

During these ten days, Li Li Lianhua had also encountered a few customers on the road!

After all, the reputation of the Lotus Building Master as a Divine Physician was quite loud even within the Great Ming.

If ordinary Jiang Hu people encountered the Lotus Building, they would naturally first think of their friends and family to see if they had any difficult or miscellaneous illnesses.

Therefore, traveling along this road, Li Li Lianhua had earned about 10,000 taels in medical fees, and his personal medical fees had reached about 30,000 taels!

And after traveling for more than ten days, Li Li Lianhua was getting closer and closer to Brightness Peak of the Ming Cult; he was still about a hundred miles away from the foot of Brightness Peak, and he estimated it would be a matter of these two days!

0 ·Begging for flowers· ········

In addition, the six major sects' siege of Brightness Peak had already begun, and the disciples of the six major sects were gradually moving toward Brightness Peak, forming a siege!

Recently, this matter could be said to be the number one hot search in the Great Ming Jiang Hu, and many people's eyes were on the siege of Brightness Peak!

However, it is worth mentioning that in the original work of 'Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre', the six major sects included the Huashan Sect!

But this time, the six major sects did not have the Huashan Sect!

After all, on the Huashan Sect side, Yue Buqun only had a few kittens and puppies under his command; this could be considered a slight difference between the integrated Wu Lin world and the original work!

The one replacing the Huashan Sect in participating in the six major sects' siege of Brightness Peak was actually the Qingcheng Sect!

In addition, the Shaolin Temple participating this time was not the Songshan Shaolin Temple in the Great Song, but the Southern Shaolin of Putian, Fujian!

On the Huashan Sect side, Nephew Linghu Chong had already rushed back!

After greeting his master and mistress, seeing that the foreign true energy in Nephew Linghu Chong's body had been resolved, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were quite happy!

At night, Yue Buqun sat by the window of his room, looking at the moonlight outside, but his eyes were blurred and dull; he was clearly not admiring the moonlight, but thinking!

The current Huashan Sect, even after he had painstakingly managed it for many years, was still swaying in the wind and rain!

Yue Buqun knew very well that the main reason was that his own martial arts were not high enough; he was already at this age, yet he was still only hovering in the Xiantian realm!

Originally, Yue Buqun had placed his hopes on Nephew Linghu Chong!

However, this kid's personality was still jumpy and difficult to entrust with important tasks.

In addition, his sword techniques had recently advanced by leaps and bounds; he could actually defeat experts like Feng Buping of the Sword Sect. This made Yue Buqun mutter to himself, could it be? Did this kid really obtain the Evil-Warding Sword Technique?

.... . 0

Obtaining the Evil-Warding Sword Technique was one thing, but he actually hid it and refused to tell him?

"Sigh, it seems that years of upbringing are still no match for the temptation of the Evil-Warding Sword Technique!" Thinking of this, Yue Buqun sighed softly in his heart!

Although there were many such things in the Jiang Hu, Nephew Linghu Chong had been raised by him since he was a child, and Yue Buqun didn't want Nephew Linghu Chong to be such a person.

But it seemed that he had misjudged him!?

"Senior Brother, don't sigh. Man proposes, God disposes!"

Ning Zhongze, who was in the room, seeing Yue Buqun sighing, understood that he was worried about the future of the Huashan Sect, walked over, and comforted him in a low voice.
