7: The first 90-point goddess

“Received Wheat Seeds x 10.”

“Received Tomato Seeds x 10.”

Li Ye actually obtained a bunch of seeds on his way back, but for him, they were useless at the moment, as the entire Wasteland could not be used for planting.

Perhaps the Wasteland, after being transformed with Spirit Stones, could be used for planting, but that was a topic for later; currently, Spirit Stones were too precious.

He did not plan to go to the Secret Realm these two days. Compared to other players, he only had one more layer of Qi Refining cultivation and two Profound Rank Spiritual Artifacts.

Moreover, these two Spiritual Artifacts were not specifically for killing monsters.

If he encountered difficult Yao Monsters or Yao Beasts, he would be finished.

Returning to his Immortal Cave, Li Ye arranged the entire Immortal Cave, furnishing it with a stone stove, stone stools, stone tables, stone beds, stone shelves, stone sofas, and so on.

As for the even more inferior wooden furniture from before, Li Ye had basically destroyed it all.

With a Spiritual Pickaxe, there was no shortage of stones.

And even if there was a shortage, secretly digging some outside the Immortal Cave late at night was also fine.

Subsequently, night officially descended, and Li Ye could vaguely hear the cries of Yao Monsters.

He traded Yao Beast meat for some water with the same trader from yesterday. After eating and drinking his fill, he opened the chat channel, hoping to find some useful information.

Only then did the trader realize that Li Ye did not have a Water Spiritual Root, and coincidentally, the trader also did not have a Fire Spiritual Root. Both parties had exchanged useless items...

“I’m really fed up. Today I encountered three Specters and almost died.”

“Yeah, I wonder how that ‘Li Ye’ big shot is doing. He got a first kill at the start and Broke Through to Refining Qi Second Layer. I wonder what advantage Refining Qi Second Layer has over our Qi Refining First Layer.”

“Who knows? He probably got lucky. Refining Qi Second Layer encounters more Yao Monsters, and he won't even be able to escape.”

...

Seeing everyone chatting idly, Li Ye could only scroll up, and he really did find some useful information.

“Brothers, I suggest you don’t go to the Secret Realm if you don’t have Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation. Our team, which grouped up, had five people exploring the Secret Realm, and after more than a day, they still haven’t come out. Suspected deaths!”

“That’s right, and you can also see some abandoned Immortal Caves. There might even be corpses in modern clothing inside. There might be Yao Beasts or Yao Monsters hidden in the shadows there!”

“This is too scary. Husband, where are you? I want to go home.”

“Wifey, I’m here. Come find me quickly.”

“Wifey! (Kiss) (Kiss)”

...

“It seems my choice not to go was correct.”

Li Ye sighed, but at this moment, a message came, precisely from the big unlucky person who, like himself, did not have the corresponding Spiritual Root yesterday—the Selling Water Little Girl.

Selling Water Little Girl: “Hello, are you still there?”

Eternal Night: “What’s up?”

Selling Water Little Girl was the other party’s newly modified nickname. It was at this moment that Li Ye realized the other party was a female.

Eternal Night was the nickname Li Ye had always used, but he hadn't changed it during the first global announcement of killing a Yao Monster, so at that time, it was his real name. Now he changed it to cover his tracks.

Selling Water Little Girl: “I found the Storage Pouch crafting blueprint. Do you need it?”

Storage Pouch?

Perhaps, but he lacked Spirit Stones right now.

Eternal Night: “What’s the price?”

Selling Water Little Girl: “Ten pieces of roasted meat.”

Eternal Night: “No, that’s too much. A Storage Pouch itself requires ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones to make, and not a single Low-Grade Spirit Stone can be found right now. Although a Storage Pouch can hold many things, whether it’s worth it is still undecided!”

Ultimately, the two haggled, and Li Ye exchanged five pieces of roasted meat for the blueprint.

Subsequently, Li Ye browsed a bit more, preparing to Cultivate.

...

On the fourth morning, Li Ye opened his refreshed eyes, and the System’s voice arrived promptly at six in the morning.

“Survival Day Four.”

“Reward 1: A water cup used by a top-grade goddess for five years.”

“Reward 2: Low-Grade Spirit Stone x 30.”

“Reward 3: Spiritual Plant, Yao Monster, Yao Beast Three-in-One Appreciation Handbook.”

“It’s a water cup used for five years, but it’s useless. The water cup is here, so the so-called top-grade goddess won’t be able to drink from it in the future. Forget it, I don’t want it.”

Li Ye paused, hesitating between Reward 2 and Reward 3.

Clearly, Reward 3 had higher value, but with thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones, he could also Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 3 and get a Storage Pouch that could hold hundreds of items.

At this stage, anyone with a Storage Pouch could basically go out without returning home, constantly exploring and scavenging, greatly increasing efficiency.

However, Li Ye still chose the Appreciation Handbook. At most, he would just go home a few more times at this stage.

Moreover, even with thirty Spirit Stones, he might not necessarily be able to Breakthrough. If there were other requirements for Breakthrough a minor Realm, then it would be a loss.

“Choose Reward 3.”

Subsequently, a blank handbook appeared in Li Ye’s hand. He chose to learn it, and the next moment, a vast amount of knowledge appeared in Li Ye’s mind.

Yao Monsters, Yao Beasts, and Spiritual Plants.

As well as their habits.

Li Ye opened his wise eyes. He felt his intelligence had also increased. In the future, he should not make the foolish mistake of exchanging for a Waterball Technique that he could not learn.

Afterward, he went outside and found that some of the solitary green leaves under the withered trees were actually Spirit Medicine that could be used to make Medicinal Pills!

He came to a withered tree and looked at the few plants.

Unlike ordinary green grass, these plants had faint red spots on them.

“Scarlet Silk Grass: A necessary main ingredient for Wash Marrow Pill. Wash Marrow Pill is a necessary Medicinal Pill for Breakthrough minor Realms in the Qi Refinement Stage.”

“It’s exactly as I thought. Even if I obtained those thirty Spirit Stones, I might not necessarily be able to Breakthrough. It requires something like a Wash Marrow Pill.”

Li Ye collected those few Scarlet Silk Grass. Currently, no one recognized this plant.

Once everyone understood the purpose of Wash Marrow Pill, this plant might be frantically sought after, perhaps even requiring Spirit Stones for exchange.

“Obtained Scarlet Silk Grass x 5.”

After collecting all the Scarlet Silk Grass hidden among the weeds near his Immortal Cave, Li Ye prepared to head south.

The south was a desolate area. Compared to the north, east, and west, it was still too barren.

However, the other three sides had been explored, and this side had not, so Li Ye was curious to go and see.

...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Ye felt a surge of annoyance.

“It’s all sand...”

But at this moment, he saw a pile of small sand dunes. Among the small sand dunes, a large door appeared, clearly an Immortal Cave.

However, he didn't know if anyone lived there.

Li Ye, holding his Spiritual Axe and carrying his Spiritual Pickaxe, knocked on the door.

...

Seeing no response, Li Ye directly used his Spiritual Axe to smash the door.

“Bang!”

“Ah ah...”

A piercing scream echoed, deafening. A beautiful woman with an enchanting figure was meditating and Cultivating on a sand bed.

Her beautiful face showed some fatigue, and there were faint dark circles around her two charming eyes, indicating she hadn't slept well these past few days.

Her figure was so graceful; the two soft, ample mounds in front of her were more than enough to feed quintuplets in a special situation!

“Ding! Detected a 90-point goddess, Bai Jie.”
