399: 5 billion Primal Mystic Crystals!

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he directly recorded the Battle Technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones into a memory crystal.

He then handed the memory crystal to the old man.

The old man took the crystal, sensed it briefly, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Advanced Level Battle Technique!"

"Little fellow, you are truly extraordinary..."

"To be able to create such Battle Technique, it's incredible..."

"Your offering of these Battle Technique will be of great help to our Human Race!"

"Although we cannot utilize One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to the same extent as you, it will still significantly ease the burden on the Human Race's frontal battlefield."

"These Battle Technique are too precious. What price do you think is appropriate for me to offer?"

The old man asked Lin Chen with a faint smile.

"Senior, you can estimate the specific price."

Lin Chen at this point had a rough guess about the identity of the old man in front of him.

This old man not only didn't fear 'Shadow', but also bought his Battle Technique to contribute to the Human Race.

Then there was only one identity!

This old man was very likely one of the nine Ancestor Realm Experts of the Human Race!

And he was an extremely terrifying one in terms of combat power... The old man burst into laughter upon hearing this, saying:

"How about this, these Battle Technique and that nether shadow sword are the same price, a total acquisition of 3 billion origin profound crystals, how does that sound?"

How much?

Lin Chen didn't react for a moment.

He suspected he had misheard and asked again.

The old man thought Lin Chen felt the acquisition price was too low, and then slowly said:

"Lin Chen, the value of this One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones is actually even higher than the nether shadow sword."

"However, in the war between our Human Race and the Guixu Clan, we have been at a disadvantage for countless eons, and the situation is extremely grim. Recently, the pressure on the frontal battlefield has also been increasing..."

"Our Human Race's resources are also very tight..."

"How about this, I'll acquire all your treasures here for 5 billion origin profound crystals, how does that sound?"

Hoo—

Lin Chen gasped, suppressing his inner excitement as he spoke:

"Thank you, Senior, of course, no problem!"

He didn't expect the old man to add another 2 billion on top of the original price!

The time acceleration secret treasure and dozens of Sacred Artifacts combined were probably only worth one or two hundred million origin profound crystals.

The bulk of the value came from the nether shadow sword and One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!

This time, he had truly struck it rich!

Lin Chen even felt a bit grateful to Lu Xinghui, that money-sending boy... If only he could come a few more times in the future... The old man smiled faintly upon seeing this, then handed Lin Chen a spatial ring.

Inside it were exactly 5 billion origin profound crystals!

Lin Chen excitedly accepted the ring, then bid farewell and left.

He was now eager to go back and improve himself significantly... Just after Lin Chen left, a figure suddenly appeared in the main hall.

If Lin Chen were here, he would definitely recognize this figure as 'Yuan'!

'Yuan' smiled and approached the old man, saying:

"Did you figure anything out?"

The old man shook his head, his expression complex as he said:

"I can't see through him..."

"This little fellow's future is full of variables, with infinite possibilities!"

"I observed his fate line and found that in every possibility, he can ultimately reach that step..."

'Yuan' was startled by these words, his pupils filled with shock.

Such an expression is rare on an Ancestor Realm Expert.

Because he was truly too shocked.

Previously, 'Hao' had seen Lin Chen in the future timeline.

This proved that the future Lin Chen would be extremely powerful, surpassing the Ancestor Realm!

But the future is uncertain, with countless branching timelines.

Perhaps Lin Chen on a certain timeline branch is incredibly powerful, while on other timeline branches he might be very weak...

So 'Yuan' was not entirely certain about Lin Chen's future.

Now, hearing the old man say this, he completely believed it!

Because this old man was none other than 'Gu', one of the nine Ancestor Realm Experts of the Human Race!

'Gu' is an Ancestor Realm Peak Stage Expert, and his core Dao is the Grandmist Great Dao!

The old man's words implied that Lin Chen's future, no matter how many timeline branches there were, would inevitably reach that step.

Surpassing the Ancestor Realm!

On the other side, Lin Chen had already returned to the palace where he resided.

Not long after returning, someone delivered 1024 origin profound crystals to him.

Because he defeated Lu Xinghui, he essentially took Lu Xinghui's place on the eternal ranking list.

Lu Xinghui's ranking was 13th!

At the same time, he also gained 10 hours of access to the Enlightenment God Temple!

Lin Chen was not in a hurry to go to the Enlightenment God Temple.

Although he could use the years pearl to turn 10 hours into 11.4 eons... Back in the palace, Lin Chen began to absorb the origin profound crystals.

This time, selling those resources and treasures earned him 5 billion origin profound crystals.

He also obtained 130 million origin profound crystals from Lu Xinghui!

At that time, Lin Chen was excited precisely because he saw these 130 million origin profound crystals...

With the years pearl activated, Lin Chen began to use the System to devour the energy of these origin profound crystals.

This time, the energy acquired by the System was the most he had ever obtained!

Far exceeding all previous times!

The previous maximum was only about a million Energy Points...

Buzz—

More than 5 billion origin profound crystals instantly transformed into a terrifying energy surge.

Fortunately, this energy was very gentle and peaceful.

Otherwise, Lin Chen, being in the center of this energy, would instantly be crushed to dust... Time flew by, and Lin Chen spent decades just absorbing this energy!

After the last trace of energy was absorbed, Lin Chen looked at his system panel.

"Can these Energy Points allow me to directly Breakthrough to the Half-step Ancestor Realm?"

Lin Chen's expression was incredibly excited.

This battle with Lu Xinghui yielded too much!

"My Bloodline and Secret Arts can also be upgraded again."

"And the System can also be upgraded once!"

Lin Chen was incredibly looking forward to this System upgrade.

He had a premonition that after this System upgrade, there would be significant changes.

For example... deducing Great Dao Battle Technique that surpass the Advanced level!

Advanced—likely represents the upper limit of this Five-Dimensional World.

Because the supreme rule and heavenly dao will refer to this Five-Dimensional World...

Lin Chen couldn't even imagine how powerful Battle Technique beyond the Advanced level would be!

"Regardless, let's first raise my Realm!"

"The time for Physical Body and true spirit enhancement cannot be shortened. I'll first Breakthrough Physical Body and true spirit to Peak Saint Lord here, and then go to the Enlightenment God Temple to comprehend the Great Dao."

After Lin Chen had planned in his mind, he instantly consumed 11.6 million Energy Points...
