Bai QianShuang lay on the bed, listless. She was wearing a nightgown, her fair legs resting on the covers.
It seed that even immortals found it difficult to adjust to a lower standard of living, especially after just enjoying an abundance of spiritual energy.
She had initially prepared herself to absorb the ager spiritual energy in this world to recover her strength and hopefully break through.
But then the sparse spiritual energy had suddenly beco dense and plentiful, and before she could fully enjoy it, it was gone.
If only she could have just one more puff.
Bai QianShuang was experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch." Bai QianShuang reached for a bag of snacks beside her bed and munched on potato chips like a hamster.
Being pampered by Ye Chuan, she had gradually beco lazy, losing her immortal deanor.
But then, her chewing stopped. She felt the surrounding spiritual energy beco dense and rich again, surging endlessly, quickly filling the entire room.
"?!" Bai QianShuang imdiately stuffed the remaining chips into her mouth and started ditating, absorbing the spiritual energy.
This ti, she was delighted to find that the spiritual energy didn't weaken as she absorbed it, not even a hint of diminishing!
Circulating her cultivation technique, Bai QianShuang utilized her Innate Dao Body to its fullest potential, absorbing as much spiritual energy as possible!
She was full!
The night passed silently, filled only with the sound of her absorbing spiritual energy.
…
Ye Chuan woke up to a gloomy, drizzling morning.
He sniffed the air, which was thick with moisture.
The window was open, and raindrops were hitting the windowsill, sliding down the blurry glass, leaving clear trails.
What an awful weather.
Ye Chuan looked out the window, thinking this, then instinctively checked his phone.
Seeing that five thousand yuan had arrived, he looked out the window again.
He loved rainy days.
It seed that when you were in a good mood, everything looked better.
He opened the adventure page, feeling too lazy for a proper adventure, and clicked on Sweep.
He had to use the features he paid for.
[Adventure Sweep initiated—]
[Sweep complete. You survived the first day. Items retrieved: 4]
Ye Chuan froze. This was the first ti he had survived the first day, which surprised him.
He imdiately opened his backpack, but was quickly disappointed. The items were all quite ordinary, not a single treasure among them.
However, a seemingly ancient jade pendant caught his attention.
[Item: Ancient Jade Pendant
Can be further appraised.]
[Spend 1000 to appraise?]
One thousand wasn't much.
Ye Chuan hesitated for a mont, thinking it might be a treasure, and then appraised it.
[Appraisal successful.]
[Item: Mysterious Jade Pendant
Seems to contain a dormant spirit.]
[Spend 200,000 to awaken.]
A ring grandpa?
(TL: A reference to common tropes in fantasy stories)
Seeing the price, Ye Chuan fell silent.
Was this system obsessed with money? It gave him five thousand every day, but it felt like it was taking it all back.
Two hundred thousand was too much, it made him wince. Even the Spirit Gathering Array at ho wasn't this expensive.
Forget it, he'd leave it for later.
Ye Chuan put the jade pendant back in his backpack and decided to check on it in a few days.
He would be helping Wang Yanran capture the Ghost King soon, which would earn him another hefty sum.
He had been spending too much lately, it was unsustainable.
It was still early, so Ye Chuan checked on his tenants.
After discovering the dense spiritual energy, Bai QianShuang had been ditating all night, practically motionless.
Ye Chuan noticed that her status was full, back to her peak Golden Core strength.
Was it because of her Innate Dao Body?
As a Supre quality constitution, it wasn't surprising that she could fully replenish her spiritual energy in one night.
Seeing that Bai QianShuang was still cultivating, Ye Chuan opened Lan XiaoKe's interface.
[Lan XiaoKe played gas for a while, feeling happy.]
[Lan XiaoKe watched ani for a while, feeling happy.]
[Lan XiaoKe read a book for a while, played with herself for a while.]
[Lan XiaoKe is satisfied.]
[Lan XiaoKe played gas for a while…]
Did sothing strange slip in there?
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Lan XiaoKe, Ye Chuan closed the tenant log.
Just then, his phone vibrated—
[Obtained a Lan XiaoKe-related item. Claim?]
Oh?
Seeing that Lan XiaoKe had produced an item, Ye Chuan opened his backpack and checked.
[Item: Bewitching Talisman
Use on any target to induce bizarre hallucinations for 24 hours (Effect depends on target's strength).]
What an interesting little item.
Ye Chuan had expected sothing that would increase his strength, not an illusion-type attack item.
He'd keep it; this little toy could co in handy.
[You have reached the Peak of Qi Refining.]
Huh?
The sudden notification made Ye Chuan freeze. Feeling the change in his spiritual energy, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Wasn't he still a few days away?
How had he already reached the peak of Qi Refining?
Ye Chuan quickly checked his status and realized that it was the Spirit Gathering Array he bought last night that had accelerated his cultivation.
His Chaotic Indestructible Body had been devouring spiritual energy and refining his ridians all night, shortening the ti needed by several days!
"Spending money really does make a difference," Ye Chuan grinned.
In just a few days, he had gone from an ordinary person to the verge of Foundation Establishnt.
The money was well spent!
Ye Chuan's mood brightened. The money was originally ant for his money tree, but it seed he was the one benefiting more.
[Requirents for Foundation Establishnt t. Please select a Foundation Establishnt thod—]
[Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishnt: Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill (Not ready-to-use, requires refining). After Foundation Establishnt, master a High-Grade Divine Ability.]
[Earth-Grade Foundation Establishnt: Earth-Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill (Not owned, requires refining). After Foundation Establishnt, master a Low-Grade Divine Ability.]
[Human-Grade Foundation Establishnt: Requirents t, can proceed with Foundation Establishnt.]
Refine pills?
Ye Chuan thought of the newly unlocked Pill Refining feature and twitched his lips.
So that's what it was for. They were waiting for him here, huh?
Ye Chuan opened the Pill Refining page and found the recipes for the Heaven-Grade and Earth-Grade Foundation Establishnt Pills.
He tried clicking on the Heaven-Grade pill.
[No ingredients detected in backpack. Spend 288,888 to purchase raw materials?]
Ye Chuan paused for a few seconds, then checked the Earth-Grade pill.
[No ingredients detected in backpack. Spend 88,888 to purchase raw materials?]
Seriously?
He'd just go with the Human-Grade Foundation Establishnt then. He needed to save money.
(TL: Stop capping.)
