130: Improve your strength and earn Yuanshi

Li Qi had achieved the Celestial Origin Realm after arriving in the Immortal Martial World, but the number of Celestial Origin Realm experts in this Yu Clan Royal City was truly not small.

If one stood on the streets outside and looked around, they could easily see seven or eight Celestial Origin Realm experts; as Li Qi walked outside, the pedestrians on the street wouldn't even give him a second glance.

Celestial Origin Realm individuals were very common and ordinary here; if a Divine Soul Realm expert were to suddenly make things difficult for him, it would be troublesome, which made Li Qi feel a significant lack of security.

Therefore... he had to seize the time to increase his strength!

"Upgrade Asura Sword Manual - Heavenly Origin Chapter!"

On the System page, 150 Potential Points were quickly deducted, and his Cultivation Technique also soon reached the Initial Entry Realm.

A vast amount of cultivation memories flooded into Li Qi's mind, and he gained a preliminary mastery of this sword technique.

After adapting slightly, Li Qi continued to upgrade.

In less than half an hour, Li Qi spent 80,000 Potential Points to directly upgrade this sword technique to the stage of Major Achievement!

And his martial arts Realm also reached the Peak of the Celestial Origin Realm!

The Celestial Origin Energy within Li Qi's body surged; if the Celestial Origin Energy in his body before was a small stream, then the Celestial Origin Energy now was a great river, its total volume having surged nearly tenfold!

The endless Celestial Origin Energy flowed continuously through Li Qi's body, and violent power surged forth from within!

"Is this the Peak of the Celestial Origin Realm?"

"It's so much stronger than before!"

Feeling this brand-new power within him, Li Qi was overjoyed; he had only arrived in the Immortal Martial World a few days ago and had already reached this Realm. If this news got out, it would surely cause a sensation.

"The System is still the most convenient; as long as there are enough Potential Points... strength can be increased rapidly."

Li Qi sighed inwardly; the System had never let him down. As long as there were enough Potential Points... one could always trust the System's capabilities.

However, while the Potential Points in Li Qi's hands were temporarily sufficient... his essence stones were not.

While browsing Cultivation Techniques at the Four Seas Pavilion just now, Li Qi had naturally seen the descriptions for the subsequent chapters of the [Asura Sword Manual].

The cultivation content for the Celestial Origin Realm was not too expensive, costing only two High Grade essence stones to purchase, but the subsequent cultivation methods were very costly.

The [Asura Sword Manual - Divine Soul Chapter] actually required 80 High Grade essence stones to purchase!

The price was a full forty times more expensive than the Heavenly Origin Chapter!

Even if Li Qi sold all the supreme-grade scarlet fruits in his hands... he still wouldn't be able to scrape together enough essence stones!

And the subsequent Law Derivation Chapter... required a full 50 supreme-grade essence stones to purchase!

Li Qi hadn't even seen what a supreme-grade essence stone looked like.

The shortfall of essence stones was huge.

It wasn't just purchasing Cultivation Techniques that required essence stones; many other things required them as well.

Since that was the case... Li Qi also pondered how to find a livelihood in the Yu Clan Royal City and think of a way to earn essence stones.

Although his [Mystic Fruit Transformation] had reached Major Achievement and could mass-produce supreme-grade scarlet fruits, the situation in the Hundred Barren Tree Sea was somewhat complex, with too many terrifying Vicious Beasts hidden within.

If he frequently went to the Hundred Barren Tree Sea to hunt Vicious Beasts and plant scarlet fruits... it would be quite easy for something to go wrong.

Furthermore, supreme-grade scarlet fruits were rare; if others found out that Li Qi could mass-produce them, it would likely incite greed in their hearts.

If things went badly, he might be captured and used as a free laborer, planting scarlet fruits until he died!

Therefore, before possessing sufficient martial strength, Li Qi would not expose this ability of his.

After some consideration, Li Qi decided to find a new, safe, and steady livelihood.

However, there was no rush to find a suitable livelihood; he could take his time searching before making a plan.

In the following days, Li Qi strolled through the Yu Clan Royal City every day, gathering the information he needed, and became increasingly familiar with everything there.

During this time, Li Qi gradually found some reliable shops and sold the supreme-grade scarlet fruits in his hands bit by bit, exchanging them all for essence stones.

Of course, he disguised his appearance and identity, trying his best to prevent anyone from discovering that he had a large quantity of supreme-grade scarlet fruits.

After selling all these scarlet fruits, Li Qi had 30 High Grade essence stones; if they were exchanged for Low Grade essence stones... that would be 300,000!

This was already a considerable fortune!

Li Qi lived peacefully in the royal city for a month, having completely adapted to life here and becoming extremely familiar with the entire city.

And he finally found a suitable livelihood...
