240: Great harvest

Feng smugly collected the spoils of war, while Ting, without looking at Feng, handed over his spoils and ran off with Chi Zhou.

“This fellow, isn’t it just losing one round? Does his face really need to be that dark?” Feng said.

Lin Ye secretly scoffed, if only Senior Brother you would put away that smug look, others wouldn’t feel so blue and mushroom-like.

Feng and Bai Qi were undoubtedly two extremes, one too cold and one too hot.

“Junior Brother, this time Senior Brother won’t treat you shabbily; I’ll give you twenty percent of the spoils.” Feng said magnanimously, putting his arm around Lin Ye’s shoulder.

“Senior Brother is awesome, Senior Brother is mighty.” Lin Ye’s eyes sparkled. Twenty percent of a Sovereign-level stake, ah, Senior Brother is truly good, so what if he has a smug look? He must have it, and have it fiercely.

Lin Ye even wished Senior Brother had more opponents.

“Feng, where are you going next?” Li Wei asked.

“It’s not easy to come here, so it’s a good opportunity to spar with you more, Junior Brother.” Their relationship was clearly not ordinary, and Feng naturally wouldn’t waste the opportunity now that he was here.

“Alright, then let me find a place for you two to rest first.” Li Wei led them to the arranged room, said a few words, and then left, leaving the two senior and junior brothers to divide the spoils.

“Come, come, Junior Brother, let’s divide the spoils.” Feng’s eyes gleamed.

“Alright.”

The stake between Feng and Ting was not small, otherwise, they wouldn’t have traveled millions of light-years to get here.

“The main stakes between Senior Brother and that fellow Ting are Sovereign-level items, which aren’t very suitable for you right now. I have two options for you: first, leave the items with Senior Brother for now, and then we’ll talk when you need them; second, exchange them for items of equivalent value and then give them to you.” Feng said.

Lin Ye thought for a moment, “I choose the second option.”

Sovereign-level resources were too far away from him; it would be years before he ignited the Law Fire.

“A wise choice. Resources just sitting there unused are the biggest loss. Wait a moment, Senior Brother, I’ll show you what can be exchanged.” Feng said.

Feng tidied up a bit and projected the items he possessed that were suitable for Lin Ye.

For those of their level, low-level resources were countless, often left to gather dust.

Lin Ye often did the same; for example, after slaying a dragon, the ability seeds born from the dragon often gathered dust in his spatial storage, while for lower-level individuals, such resources were extremely rare.

“Not just these, I’ve also marked things Senior Brother doesn’t have but can acquire for you.”

Lin Ye nodded and began to browse carefully.

Cultivation resources, weapons and equipment, Law potions, wondrous items...

Star Core, Dragon Slayer, Phoenix Heart, Death Whisper...

Lin Ye had an urge to grab everything and run; Senior Brother was too rich.

Sovereigns are Indestructible and Unextinguished, long-lived, and over the passage of time, who knows how many resources they accumulate.

Most importantly, Feng had no disciples, only a few offspring to care for. His direct descendants had long since perished with the years, and the bloodline passed down was no longer that close, so he had accumulated a very substantial amount of cultivation resources below the Sovereign level.

As for how old Feng actually was? Lin Ye wasn’t sure, he only knew that Senior Brother Bai Qi was already hundreds of millions of years old, let alone Feng, who was above him.

“Junior Brother, take your time choosing, no rush. Senior Brother will send you the list, and once you’ve chosen, I’ll send the resources to your main body.” After sending the list, Feng went to find Li Wei.

For Sovereigns like them, a single conversation could easily last decades or even centuries.

Lin Ye currently didn’t lack ordinary resources, and in terms of cultivation, he wasn’t lacking either.

However, he could arrange for the forging of armor after reaching the Stellar River Level.

The forging quota given by the Galaxy Lord was only enough to forge standard weapons and armor, which, according to level classification, meant Stellar River Level Elementary.

Senior Brother had arrangements here: Stellar River Peak weapon and armor forging—ten thousand resource points.

While elementary ones only cost a few hundred resource points.

The difference between the two was not insignificant.

And in terms of effect, the gap was also very obvious: Stellar River Level Elementary armor weakened ninety-nine percent of damage, while Stellar River Peak armor weakened ninety-nine point nine percent of damage.

Stellar River Level Elementary weapons amplified attack by over a hundred times, while Stellar River Peak weapons amplified attack by over a thousand times.

One could only say that the value was justified, and it was no wonder the Galaxy Lord so strictly prohibited this item. Even direct disciples were not allowed to privately equip it until they received a position; this was simply a great weapon.

The opponent’s attack is weakened by a thousand times, while one’s own attack increases by over a thousand times. This back and forth already represents an enormous level gap.

A Stellar River Peak Martial Artist without any weapons or armor could barely contend with a fully armed Stellar River Level Elementary Martial Artist.

Senior Brother gave him a quota of one million resource points, so weapons and armor certainly had to be arranged. One piece cost one hundred thousand, just like that, two hundred thousand was gone.

Armor, by rights, should be more expensive; defense is always harder to improve than offense, but the higher up you go, the lower the cost-effectiveness of defensive gear.

Because if you want comprehensive defense, you need both material and spiritual defense, and this is not a low level; only those skilled in spiritual attacks have spiritual attacks.

The higher up, the more versatile the strong, like Lin Ye. As a Martial Artist, he also had spiritual methods; he just hadn’t developed spiritual attacks using Soul Law yet.

So, to defend well, armor alone is not enough; one also needs to defend the Soul aspect.

Lin Ye, of course, would not be stingy about this and also arranged for Soul defense gear, and another one hundred thousand resource points were gone.

One could only say it was fortunate that he got rich in one go this time, and Senior Brother was generous; otherwise, relying on Lin Ye to accumulate his own fortune would take forever.

Then, Lin Ye focused on cultivation resources. The Stellar River Level requires the propagation of the internal Stellar River, which is the product of the infinite proliferation of the core.

You can accumulate it slowly yourself, or you can use external objects to speed up the process.

Lin Ye’s core was top-tier, so his Stellar River was naturally not simple. If he relied purely on absorption, it would take a considerable amount of time.

However, he was not in a hurry; he wouldn’t break through to Sovereign before the Fusion of the five laws.

So, after thinking about it, he only purchased a small amount of Stellar River Level resources that promoted growth.

Starlight Avenue—cultivation resource, speeds up Stellar River condensation by ten times, five hundred thousand resource points.

Well, even a small purchase, this item was not cheap.

Although the name was a bit strange, its effect was simply heaven-defying. Speeding up by ten times saved enough time to plan for becoming a Sovereign.

Lin Ye spent the remaining two hundred thousand with great willpower, not touching it. Senior Brother didn’t say it had to be cashed out all at once; he could exchange it later when needed.

Anyway, Senior Brother’s resources were managed by an AI, so it wouldn’t trouble him.

After Lin Ye made his selection, Feng’s intelligent butler sent the Starlight Avenue to Lin Ye’s main body.

Starlight Avenue does more than just increase Stellar River condensation speed by tenfold; it also greatly benefits other aspects of cultivation. Its principle is to root itself in the void, constantly absorbing energy and increasing energy concentration.

Its true form was also very mystical, a vast, ethereal aurora, yet it could be moved. Lin Ye placed it in his cultivation area; his main body never left the house anyway, so he could utilize it to its fullest.
