Chapter 326 The Super Invincible Fat Sheep is Out of the Cage?

Jiang Yun continued his slow stroll on the second floor of the Myriad Phenomena Treasury.

His gaze intently swept over each display case and pillar of light.

He had already made up his mind.

He would purchase his resources on this floor.

The third floor might have more precious treasures.

But with his remaining contribution points...

On the third floor, where items were priced in the thousands or even tens of thousands, he probably couldn't afford a single decent item. Going up would only be an exercise in envy.

At that moment...

His Brick Stone Rank Divine Sense stirred slightly.

He keenly detected a few faint, almost imperceptible gazes from not far behind him, filled with prying and greed.

"Heh..."

A barely noticeable cold smile tugged at the corner of Jiang Yun's mouth.

He understood the situation.

"It seems... these greedy fellows also see me as a fat sheep? Since you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep, later... don't blame me for turning the tables and cleaning you out."

He felt no goodwill towards scum like Wang Chao, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, specifically targeting the vulnerable.

Since they had set their sights on him...

He wouldn't be polite either.

Perfect.

He was currently short on contribution points and resources.

Wasn't this someone delivering themselves right to his door?

Pretending not to notice, he maintained his previous leisurely browsing posture, but his Divine Sense had already quietly locked onto the auras of the four people behind him.

After passing a few more display cases...

His gaze was suddenly drawn to an item floating within a small pillar of light in the central area.

It was a crystal roughly the size of an infant's fist, crimson red throughout as if made of blood. Inside, molten lava seemed to flow slowly, emitting astonishing heat and immense fire attribute energy. Even through the light pillar and protective barrier, one could feel a slight warmth on the skin.

The crystal's surface was covered with naturally formed, strange patterns resembling dragon scales.

The information on the light screen read:

[Name]: earth core molten dragon crystal

[Grade]: Amethyst Supreme Grade

[Effect]: A special fire attribute crystal core born deep within the heart of the earth's magma, tempered by millenniums of geothermal fire and accidentally tainted with a wisp of earth dragon aura.

Contains extremely pure and violent fire elemental spiritual power and a trace of weak Dragon Qi.

fire attribute tamed beasts can directly absorb and refine it, greatly purifying the quality of their flames, significantly accelerating their growth, and notably strengthening their Physical Bodies. The effect is especially significant for Gold Rank fire attribute tamed beasts. Depending on the beast's Aptitude and absorption efficiency, it can directly increase cultivation by 1 to 3 stages, with an upper limit of Peak Gold Rank 9, and slightly enhance their affinity for fire and dragon-type energies.

[Price]: 1900 contribution points

"earth core molten dragon crystal!"

A glint flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

This was exactly what he needed most right now!

Little Fire was currently at Gold Rank Five.

If he could use this item to directly advance two stages...

Reaching Gold Rank Seventh Order...

His strength would experience a qualitative leap.

He would have a greater chance in the upcoming Molten Fire Grotto Spot Competition Battle in a week!

Although the price was as high as 1900 points...

More than half of his current contribution points...

Its effect was completely worth it!

"contribution points can be earned again, but a Heaven And Earth Treasure that can directly, quickly, and without side effects boost a tamed beast's strength might be hard to come by if missed."

Jiang Yun hesitated almost not at all.

He took out his Identity Token again.

And directly pressed it into the groove on the base of the light pillar.

However...

The moment the token touched the groove...

The deduction number displayed on the light screen wasn't 1900.

But instantly changed to 950!

This was one of the core privileges he enjoyed as a Heavenly Saint Student.

Within the academy...

When using contribution points to exchange for any resources, enter any paid Secret Realm, or use any paid facility, he enjoyed a 50% discount!

This was a benefit personally granted by the Head Dean.

And one of the concrete manifestations of the transcendent status and resource tilt towards Heavenly Saint Students.

Now, in the Myriad Phenomena Treasury...

It finally revealed its immense value!

Jiang Yun felt a flicker of joy in his heart.

This privilege was indeed practical!

It was equivalent to his contribution points' purchasing power directly doubling!

The light pillar opened.

That scorching hot crimson crystal fell into Jiang Yun's hand. He immediately felt a surge of pure and domineering fire elemental energy transmit through his palm, causing even Little Fire within his Beast Taming Space to send waves of excited, eager emotional fluctuations.

Jiang Yun swiftly stored it inside his storage ring.

Not far away...

Wang Chao and his three underlings, who had been secretly tailing him...

Saw this scene clearly.

"Holy crap! He... he bought that earth core molten dragon crystal?!"

The Pointy-Mouthed Follower's eyes were wide, almost popping out.

His voice was distorted with excitement.

"I saw the price tag on that thing, nineteen hundred! Nineteen hundred contribution points! And he just... just bought it so decisively?!"

"So rich in contribution points... could this kid be the Young Master of some major Family or faction..."

Another underling gulped.

Staring fixedly at Jiang Yun.

Wang Chao narrowed his eyes.

He was a bit farther away and didn't see the specifics clearly, but Jiang Yun's decisive, almost casual attitude—as if he were spending stones, not precious contribution points—made his heart race wildly, the flames of greed blazing fiercely.

"Who cares about his identity! Anyone who can buy something priced at nineteen hundred without batting an eye must have way more contribution points on them! At worst, we'll rob him masked!"

Wang Chao lowered his voice.

"Right! Brother Chao! Let's wait for him to finish buying and leave, then we'll rob him! contribution points can't be transferred directly, but the treasures he just bought, plus whatever else is in his Storage Pouch, will all be ours!"

The third underling rubbed his hands together.

As if already seeing a heap of precious resources beckoning to him.

"Hehe, let him buy! Buy more! It's all being bought for us anyway!"

Wang Chao licked his lips.

A fierce light flickered in his eyes.

"Keep a close eye on him!"

...After Jiang Yun purchased the earth core molten dragon crystal...

He still had a little over two thousand contribution points left.

He continued searching on the second floor.

Hoping to find something else suitable for Little Skylark or useful for himself.

After circling around...

He saw several more good Amethyst High Grade and Supreme Grade resources, but either their attributes weren't a perfect match, or their effects weren't urgently needed by him.

Finally...

His footsteps stopped before the section of wind thunder wood core he had seen earlier.

This piece of wood core was about a foot long.

As thick as an arm, its entire body was a bluish-black color. Its surface had naturally formed, strange wood grain patterns resembling wind patterns and lightning totems.

It floated quietly within the light pillar. Although it didn't emit any particularly violent energy, a pure and restrained aura of Wind-Thunder Origin faintly emanated, as if subtly resonating with the Wind-Thunder power between heaven and earth.

The information on the light screen still displayed:

Diamond Low Grade.

Price: 1600 contribution points.

Jiang Yun activated his data entries talent once more.

[Name]: wind thunder wood core

[Grade]: Diamond Low Grade

[Effect]: The Origin essence nurtured in the heartwood of a Wind-Thunder Ironwood tree over ten thousand years old after undergoing baptism by heavenly lightning and earthly fire. Contains a wisp of pure Wind-Thunder Origin aura and immense life spiritual power.

After slow absorption and refinement by a Wind-Thunder attribute tamed beast, it can gradually purify the quality of its Wind-Thunder power, strengthen the power and casting speed of its Wind-Thunder attribute skills, and slightly nourish its Bloodline Origin, making its Wind-Thunder power more condensed and agile, thereby indirectly improving overall combat power.

Can also be used as the core main material for forging Wind-Thunder attribute spiritual weapons.

[Price]: 1600 contribution points

"Purifying Wind-Thunder power quality, strengthening skill power and casting speed, nourishing Bloodline Origin... Although it can't directly raise the Realm, it can fundamentally enhance Little Skylark's Wind-Thunder attribute strength. In the long run, the benefits are greater."

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, feeling that although this item was expensive, it was extremely compatible with Little Skylark. It could solidify its Foundation and enhance its potential.

"Buy it!"

Jiang Yun hesitated no longer. He took out his Identity Token again and pressed it into the groove.

The deduction number on the light screen jumped.

640 contribution points!

The light pillar opened. The wind thunder wood core came into his hand. Its touch was warm and smooth with a hint of tingling numbness. The life force and Wind-Thunder power contained within it invigorated Jiang Yun's spirit.

He quickly stored this item in his storage ring.

Planning to study it more after returning.

Thus...

Jiang Yun's major spending on the second floor concluded.

earth core molten dragon crystal + wind thunder wood core, plus the Purple Mansion Nebula Fruit he bought earlier, totaled 1750 contribution points spent.

He still had about 1450 points left on his token.

"Still over a thousand points left. Let's go to the first floor and see, buy some resources for auxiliary Cultivation, or daily-use items for the two tamed beasts."

Jiang Yun thought.

Then turned and walked down the stairs.

Returning to the first floor of the Myriad Phenomena Treasury.

On the first floor...

Jiang Yun went all out.

Enjoying the 50% discount.

Which doubled the purchasing power of his contribution points.

A little over a thousand points was equivalent to purchasing power of over two thousand!

He moved between various counters.

Buying whatever seemed suitable.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Molten Fire Essence specifically for fire attribute tamed beasts!

Can accelerate Cultivation!

Buy!

Hurricane Grass and Thunderstruck Stone Fragments favored by Wind-Thunder attribute tamed beasts!

Buy!

Hundred Refinement Ointment that can slightly strengthen the Physical Body!

Buy!

Clear Spirit Incense for quick Mental Energy recovery!

Buy!

High-quality tamed beast food and toys?

Buy!

He even bought some common Materials for setting up simple Formations for backup... He was like a human shopping machine. Wherever he passed, counter light screens flashed one after another, and items were swept into his possession.

Although the unit price of each item wasn't high...

Most were between a few dozen to one or two hundred contribution points, but he couldn't resist buying a lot and a wide variety!

The surrounding scholars were stunned by his inhumanly extravagant shopping spree, casting sidelong glances and whispering.

"Who is that guy? A new student? How is he so rich?"

"My heavens... is he buying in bulk? Are contribution points free for him?"

"Look at all the stuff he's buying. Although none are top-tier individually, added together, it's absolutely a huge sum! Must be over one or two thousand!"

"Could he be the direct descendant of some major Family or faction? But I've never seen this person before..."

"His face is unfamiliar. Maybe a special admit who just enrolled?"

"Tsk, it's infuriating comparing people. I save for a month just to afford one item. He, on the other hand, is like he's at a vegetable market..."

Jiang Yun paid no heed to the surrounding discussions.

Only he himself knew...

All of this was thanks to the half-price privilege of a Heavenly Saint Student.

On the surface, he entered with over three thousand contribution points, but the actual total value of the items he consumed had already exceeded six thousand contribution points!

This feeling of splurging was indeed exhilarating.

Soon...

The remaining contribution points in his token also bottomed out.

Finally leaving less than 50 points.

Looking at the almost empty contribution point balance...

Jiang Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"contribution points are hard to come by, but they flow away like water... However, there really are many good things in the Myriad Phenomena Treasury. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can find almost any resource you need. It seems I'll have to think of more ways to earn contribution points in the future."

He raised his head.

His gaze once again turned towards the stairs leading to the third, fourth, and even the highest fifth floor, a flicker of longing in his eyes.

"The third floor... probably has Diamond Medium Grade, High Grade, or even Falling Star Rank treasures, right? The prices... are probably astronomical."

Jiang Yun shook his head.

Suppressing the desire in his heart.

"When my contribution points are ample, I must go up and see. One day, I will traverse all five floors of this Myriad Phenomena Treasury and gather everything I need into my possession!"

Resources...

Are indispensable cornerstones on the path of Cultivation.

And contribution points...

Are the lever that moves these cornerstones.

No longer lingering...

Jiang Yun turned around.

And strode out of the main gate of the Myriad Phenomena Treasury.

Inside the treasury...

Wang Chao and his three underlings, who had been secretly tracking and witnessed Jiang Yun's frantic shopping spree from the second floor to the first, were now trembling with excitement, their eyes bloodshot!

"We've hit the jackpot! Jackpot! Absolutely jackpot!"

The Pointy-Mouthed Follower grabbed Wang Chao's arm.

Rambling incoherently.

"Brother Chao! Did you see that? He bought so much more on the first floor! Although they were all bits and pieces, added together, it's absolutely worth a fortune! This is definitely a super invincible fat sheep!"

"I saw clearly! His token seemed almost wiped out at the end! But the two big-ticket items he bought earlier, plus these bits and pieces... the total value probably exceeds... exceeds five or six thousand contribution points!"

Another underling's voice trembled.

That was an unimaginable fortune to him.

Wang Chao was also breathing heavily.

His face flushed red with excitement.

He stared fixedly at Jiang Yun's departing back.

Gnashing his teeth.

"After following for so long, the effort wasn't wasted! This kid is indeed rolling in wealth! Alone, after buying stuff, with no one to meet him... a heaven-sent opportunity!"

"Let's go! Follow him! Find a secluded spot, and make our move!"

Wang Chao waved his hand, a fierce light fully exposed in his eyes.

Leading his three equally greed-blinded underlings, he quickly squeezed through the crowd and silently tailed Jiang Yun, leaving the Myriad Phenomena Treasury.

The fat sheep had emerged from its pen, with hungry wolves close on its heels.
