24: Chapter 24 The money is endless, it's simply impossible to spend it all.

Looking at Lin Xiao, who wore a serious expression, Teacher Tong Qian suddenly laughed. It wasn't out of appreciation; she was purely amused by frustration.

"Since you've asked, if Teacher doesn't properly 'instruct' you today, it would seem as though I underestimate your status."

Not considering faith points, right? Not considering resources, right? Want the fastest and most reasonable path, right? Fine! It's just spending money, isn't it?

Over the years, in order to ascend, she had put in plenty of hard work in this area!

"If you want to improve your Believers, the first step is inseparable from a top-tier cultivation technique. I've introduced this to you before.

The Yuan-Absorbing Breathing Technique can absorb and convert seventy percent of the energy within food. As for the remaining thirty percent, due to the laws of the world, no one can absorb one hundred percent of the energy from a single food item.

The Qingning Heart-Guarding Canon can help your Believers cleanse their minds of distracting thoughts, improve focus, and stabilize their internal energy. It makes their training more focused and efficient, reducing the risk of Qi deviation.

Both are top-tier Mortal Tier cultivation techniques, priced at 5 million faith points each. I need to remind you that once you load these cultivation techniques, they are consumed.

If you want both of them to learn as well, you have to buy 6 copies, two for each person."

Hiss!~

Wang Tao and Su Xue couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this. The Basic Body Refining Technique was only 100,000 faith points per copy.

How could some top-tier cultivation technique cost five million per copy? Could learning this stuff directly allow Believers to reach the Second-order?

Wang Tao's expression struggled for a moment, then he respectfully bowed to Lin Xiao, who was standing to the side.

"This subordinate will never forget the grace of your cultivation, my Lord. But such a precious cultivation technique is really..."

Seeing this, Su Xue snapped out of her shock. She couldn't help but inwardly curse the other person. She hadn't reacted in time; did he have to be so ruthless?

She hurriedly wanted to follow suit and refuse as well.

Lin Xiao didn't even look at the two, just waved his hand casually.

"I know what I'm doing when it comes to cultivating my subordinates; you don't need to worry about it for me. This is the first time, and it will be the last."

faith points? My daily income is now measured in divine power points. Are faith points even money?

"This subordinate knows their error."

Teacher Tong Qian didn't take this little interlude to heart. Seeing Lin Xiao's nonchalant appearance, she also secretly began to compete.

She wanted to see just how long he could keep up that look.

"With the cultivation techniques, if the Believers practice on their own, it's too slow and the results aren't great. Since you said you aren't considering faith points, then I recommend you purchase: [Martial Arts Hall] C-Tier.

A strategic building, market guide price: 1,000 divine power points. It can accommodate a thousand Believers training simultaneously, contains intelligent mechanical assistance, and uses Qi-flow guidance to circulate internal energy.

I am talking about divine power points; if you don't quite understand divine power points..."

Listening to the words the other party hadn't finished, Lin Xiao nodded.

"I know, one hundred million faith points equals one divine power point."

Hearing this, Wang Tao and Su Xue didn't know what to say. This was their first time hearing that there was such a thing as divine power points.

[Just a C-Tier strategic building? It feels like the effect isn't very strong? I'll go ask the merchant who sells the refining halls later to see if there is a B-Tier one with more comprehensive functions.]

He didn't even care about 3,000 divine power points? Teacher Tong Qian was truly a bit surprised now; she should know that she had once coveted this building for a while.

It wasn't that she couldn't afford the 3,000 divine power point price tag, but as a deity, there were many places where she needed to use divine power points.

In the end, the function of this building was merely to save some time for the Believers to improve their strength. She didn't need to be in such a rush.

"Then there is the environment within the Divine Kingdom. Although the environment of a newly born Divine Kingdom is okay, the energy content within it is almost non-existent.

As your Believers' strength increases, they have strict requirements not only for the quantity of energy but also for its quality.

C-Tier strategic resource: Spirit Spring. It can gush out spiritual energy that gathers into a lake, which can be used for the daily cultivation and consumption of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.

Price: 2,000 divine power points. Under the careful maintenance and management of Believers, a Spirit Marsh can last for nearly a thousand years before drying up.

The more cultivators there are, the faster the Spirit Spring will dry up, so once they reach the deity stage, those with the means generally buy B-Tier strategic resources: spirit vein. 70,000 divine power points.

With it, let alone thousands of people, even tens of thousands of people can be easily supported for over three thousand years. If managed carefully, the duration can be even longer."

Looking at Lin Xiao, who still showed no reaction, Teacher Tong Qian couldn't help but secretly wonder. Is this kid paralyzed in the face? She was talking about 70,000 divine power points! Not faith points!

"After purchasing the Spirit Spring, if you don't want it to dry up too quickly, you need to pair it with a C-Tier Spirit Locking Array. It will firmly lock its spiritual energy within a certain range.

This forms a small-scale high-spiritual energy environment; this environment is the foundation for the existence of Qi Refining cultivators. Price: 100,000 faith points.

Once the Spirit Spring dries up, Qi Refining Believers can only survive by relying on spirit pills. Before breaking through to the Demigod Realm, these are the things you need."

Cultivation technique, Martial Arts Hall, spirit vein; noting these three terms, Lin Xiao bowed to Teacher Tong Qian.

"Thank you for your instruction, Teacher; the student already knows how to improve the Believers. I won't take up any more of your time here."

Teacher Tong Qian took a deep look at Lin Xiao, as if wanting to see right through him. Unfortunately, on that face with its standard smile, she couldn't see much at all.

"There is only a little over a month left before the class sorting. If you want to progress quickly, it's best to be sorted into a class with a smaller number."

Leaving this sentence behind, Teacher Tong Qian's figure disappeared from the virtual world.

"Go back and prepare; select one thousand Believers. Then come to my place; it is now our turn to exert our strength."

"As you command, my Lord."

Exiting the virtual world, Lin Xiao opened his wristwatch immediately. He discovered that the five refining halls he had bought had already arrived.

As the loading finished, five buildings as tall as mountains appeared within the Divine Kingdom.

The medicinal materials for the marrow cleansing pill that were previously in the Divine Kingdom had been cleared away, and now they had all been replaced with the medicinal materials needed for the five-element pills.

Considering that he still had to give one set to each of his two subordinates tomorrow, he bought three full portions of medicinal materials this time.

These medicinal materials alone cost him a full 18 billion faith points, but now he had lost interest in checking resources priced in faith points.

180 divine power points? Is that even money? It's pocket change.

Looking at his remaining balance of 300,000 divine power points, Lin Xiao stroked his chin and laughed.

[Other deities are scrimping and saving for faith points, while I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to spend money. Today's 1.8 million divine power points haven't been spent yet, and tomorrow another 1.8 million divine power will arrive. Can't spend it all, absolutely can't spend it all.]

After sighing in a way that would infuriate deities, Lin Xiao found the previous Sales Deity.

[Are you there? I have something I need to ask.]

[This minor deity is here! I don't know what instructions you have, respected Deity? Is there a problem with the products?]

Looking at the near-instant reply, Lin Xiao was stunned. Is the other party's shop business that slow?

Just in the time it took him to pause, in a distant and prosperous star region, that First-order Deity couldn't help but break into a sweat.

Just when this deity was thinking about whether to apologize first, Lin Xiao's reply finally allowed him to set his heart at ease.

And the whole person jumped up in excitement.

[I haven't found any problems for now, hmm. If there are problems, I will find you. This time, I mainly came to order two more sets of the same thing.

Hmm, no rush this time. Just prepare one set each for tomorrow and the day after. Besides this, I have some other things I want to consult about.

For the C-Tier strategic building [Martial Arts Hall], I want to ask if there is a higher B-Tier version? If there is, do you sell it here?

Also, do you sell the B-Tier strategic resource [spirit vein] here?]
