147: Li Qingyue's gratitude

"Brother Changsheng."

Li Qingyue was extremely excited.

She began telling Li Changsheng about her Opportunity.

[Li Qingyue, Peak Golden Core in the real world, Rank 92 on the Tianqi Continent.]

Li Changsheng was quite surprised.

On top of that, she was fully decked out in Heaven-Grade equipment.

Not long ago, Li Changsheng had also passed on the Indestructible Immortal Art to her—the modified version at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

"Not bad. To have such an Opportunity is a testament to your own fortune."

Li Qingyue possessed the Grand Yin Saint Physique.

Recently, she had unexpectedly obtained a wisp of Grand Yin True Fire, along with a cultivation method called the Grand Yin True Fire Art, which was the method to refine it.

With the help of this Grand Yin True Fire, her cultivation had reached the Peak Golden Core stage.

"The world you are in seems quite extraordinary as well," Li Changsheng said with a nod.

She truly lived up to her reputation as a peerless Empress.

"Brother Changsheng, let me recite the Grand Yin True Fire Art to you," Li Qingyue said.

"Mm, that's fine."

There are Ten Great Divine Fires in the world.

These existences are superior to Heaven-and-Earth Odd Fires.

Odd Fires are fires of the mortal realm.

Li Changsheng's previous Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was one such Odd Fire. In contrast, the ten Divine Fires are fires of the Immortals: Solar True Fire, Grand Yin True Fire, Dutian True Fire, Samadhi True Fire, Ziwei True Fire, Xuanjiu Heavenly Fire, Southern Bright Luminous Fire, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Nirvana Fire, and Hellfire.

Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would have to avoid their brunt.

Furthermore, he felt that within his cosmic dantian, he could actually manifest the Grand Yin True Fire out of thin air.

Was 'Grand Yin' not the moon?

Within the Universe, there existed infinite Grand Yin power.

In the Great Qian Dynasty.

Without the constraints of the Baishan Sect, and with Li Changsheng's presence ensuring no other power dared to provoke them, the people were united, and their territory had expanded greatly.

Nearby alien races had been wiped out, and the three neighboring Imperial Dynasties—Great Yan, Great Qin, and Great Dali—had all been merged into Great Qian.

To them,

entering Great Qian was their only hope.

Otherwise, they would forever remain mere mortal dynasties, left to the mercy of others and trampled upon.

Regarding this, Li Qingyue felt heartfelt gratitude.

Gratitude toward Li Changsheng.

[1,000,000 gratitude value from Li Qingyue.]

Li Changsheng couldn't help but be deeply moved.

A direct million—he had only ever received such an amount from Great Emperor Donggu.

That man had accumulated emotion values for over 1.5 million years, so it was only natural for a million to burst out at once. But Li Qingyue's gratitude was genuine and hard-earned.

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Come, I'll take you to fully clear the Abyss World."

"Mm."

At this moment, the Abyss World was on the verge of being cleared.

Only the Abyssal King remained.

As someone who had been through it before, Li Changsheng found the Abyssal King very easily.

It was only Rank 98.

Li Changsheng could kill even the Rank 99 Yuan Shu with a single strike.

With almost no effort, Li Changsheng wounded it with one sword strike and then waited for Li Qingyue to deliver the finishing blow.

[Congratulations to Player Li Changsheng for helping Player Li Qingyue clear the Abyss dungeon. Reward: 1,000 years of magic power. Reward: One random manifestation of a Rule Divine Ability.]

Two rewards for clearing the dungeon.

However, before Li Changsheng could even be happy for ten seconds, he became frustrated.

One thousand years of magic power wasn't enough to make him Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Spirit Refining.

Breaking through was becoming increasingly difficult.

But on second thought, it made sense. A Seven-Transformation Exquisite Pill was an Immortal Pill, yet it had only allowed his cultivation to Breakthrough from the Late Nascent Soul Stage to the Early Stage of Spirit Refining.

What was a mere thousand years of magic power?

The Rule Divine Ability, however,

made Li Changsheng quite excited.

He now had four Rule Divine Abilities, which provided a massive boost to his combat strength.

"Manifest it," Li Changsheng said indifferently.

[Manifestation successful. Obtained Rule Divine Ability: Weaken.]

Li Changsheng's eyes immediately lit up.

Weaken: Anything entering a one-kilometer radius around him would have all attributes reduced by 10%. Within one thousand meters, all attributes reduced by 20%. Within one hundred meters, all attributes reduced by 30%. And within ten meters, all attributes reduced by 50%.

It truly lived up to the name of a Rule Divine Ability.

The night passed.

The next day.

Li Changsheng woke up early.

He went to the Misty Pavilion once again.

A month had passed.

Upon entering the Misty Pavilion, he saw that everyone was listless.

They didn't even have the heart to attend to customers who walked in.

As for Zhang Wangu and Shang Li, the two of them sat at the entrance, right where a beam of sunlight hit. They were drinking tea and reading books while basking in the sun, looking quite comfortable.

Li Changsheng couldn't help but frown and gave a light cough.

Several clerks immediately looked ashamed. They quickly snapped out of it, lowered their heads, and said with great discomfort, "My Lord."

With a dark face, Li Changsheng said, "Tell me, what's going on? Why is everyone so dispirited?"

One clerk stepped forward and said, "My Lord, the Misty Pavilion has been open for over a month now, but not a single treasure has been sold. We feel ashamed in our hearts."

Li Changsheng waved his hand. "It's no matter. I didn't open this shop to sell things in the first place."

There was another sentence he didn't say: he was there to collect emotion values.

Looking at the Misty Pavilion filled with nothing but Heaven-Grade treasures, who wouldn't be envious?

Li Changsheng could guess why the emotion values had slumped this month. They had grown numb from looking at these Magic Treasures. Although people streamed into the Misty Pavilion every day, they only came to look at the Heaven-Grade treasures.

They also knew they could only look, not touch, and certainly not afford them.

To obtain more emotion values, it seemed he needed to do something big.

The same had happened with the various rumors, storybooks, and biographies before.

"The hype died down too quickly," Li Changsheng said, shaking his head.

"I've got it."

Li Changsheng instantly thought of a solution.

He said to the clerks, "Go post a notice at the door. Say that to give back to our new and old customers, the shop is launching a lottery event. We will issue a total of one million lottery numbers. First come, first served. Once the numbers are all distributed, we will hold a comprehensive lottery draw. First place gets a High Grade Heaven-Grade treasure. Second place gets a Medium Grade Heaven-Grade treasure. Third place gets a Low Grade Heaven-Grade treasure."

"As for fourth through tenth place, they will each receive a High Grade or peak grade Earth-Grade treasure."

"Eleventh through one-hundredth place will receive a Medium Grade or Low Grade Earth-Grade treasure."

Since he had the emotion lottery system, he might as well create a lottery System of his own.

What was the most exciting thing for people?

It was getting something for nothing—a pie falling from the sky.

With one million tickets, even for a lottery, he couldn't lose too much. Let's see... one thousand Spirit Stones per lottery number should do. He couldn't afford to take a loss, after all.

One billion Spirit Stones.

Compared to Heaven-Grade treasures, it was hard to say if it was a loss or not.

"Yes, My Lord."

Furthermore, there was no limit on the number of tickets. One person could buy a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand if they wanted.

The clerks immediately sprang into action, and soon, they posted Li Changsheng's requirements outside the shop.
