134: Six billion taels of silver, once again giving rise to talent.

"Haha! It's good that Junior Martial Nephew Lin Yi is satisfied!"

Seeing Lin Yi nod, Chu Haitian finally smiled and let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Five billion taels of silver was not a small sum even for an Innate Golden Core Grandmaster like him; after all, even a common High Grade Innate Precious Medicine was worth roughly that amount.

So even if he wanted to produce such a large sum of money within an hour, he would have to sell off some treasures that were quite important to him personally.

But no matter how reluctant he was, this money had to be spent!

Because ever since Chu Chuan's defeat just now, it was destined that after his death, the decline of the Chu Family would be a foregone conclusion.

At that time, even if Lin Yi was concerned about his status and reputation and didn't personally take action against the Chu Family, there would be plenty of people in the Heavenly Mountain Sect or the outside world who would want to curry favor with Lin Yi by targeting the Chu Family.

At that time, how could the Chu Family, with only a few in the Innate True Essence Realm, deal with these people?

If they didn't handle it well, even decline might be a luxury; it was more likely that his Chu Family would be completely wiped out because of this! How could he accept that?

Therefore, to resolve the grudge with Lin Yi, no matter how great the price, Chu Haitian had to pay it!

Otherwise, if he waited until Lin Yi emerged from the Martial Emperor's Relic Palace with many treasures, Chu Haitian wouldn't even have the capital to resolve this grudge even if he wanted to.

Chu Haitian pondered silently in his heart.

On the other side, after accepting Chu Haitian's five billion taels of silver and an additional one billion taels as an apology, Lin Yi was in quite a pleasant mood.

Six billion taels of silver was enough for him to evolve three more talents before entering the Martial Emperor's Relic Palace, which was definitely a huge help for him, since he couldn't Breakthrough to the Innate realm in the short term.

After all, while combat power and cultivation were the most important in the Martial Emperor's Relic Palace, if one's talent was high enough, they would also receive some bonuses upon entering.

Additionally, with a high enough talent, although he temporarily couldn't Breakthrough to the Innate realm due to his previous failure, there was still some hope of reaching the Fifth Level of Breaking Limits before entering the Martial Emperor's Relic Palace.

Once he broke through to the Fifth Level of Breaking Limits, his combat power would instantly leap from its current level of being close to the Middle Stage of the Innate True Essence Realm to the actual level of the Middle Stage of the Innate True Essence Realm.

With such strength, he would have a greater advantage after entering the Martial Emperor's Relic Palace.

As for the grudge with the Chu Family?

Lin Yi did indeed feel anger about this matter, which was why he had remained slightly silent earlier in the face of Chu Haitian's apology.

But later, Lin Yi thought about it carefully; with his current strength, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't do anything to the Chu Family anyway.

Furthermore, although the Chu Family had plotted against him this time, they had only exploited a young man's pride and hadn't used any overly extreme methods, such as kidnapping his parents or relatives.

In this situation, as long as he was thick-skinned enough, even if he refused to hand over the Emperor Wu's Final Edict, the Chu Family wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Secondly, although Lin Yi's current strength could rival the Innate realm, it was still far too weak compared to Chu Haitian, an Innate Golden Core Grandmaster.

If he pushed the Chu Family too hard this time, Lin Yi was truly worried that Chu Haitian would be driven to desperation and do something reckless.

After all, although the Old Ancestor valued him immensely now, as a dignified Martial Saint, it was impossible for him to protect Lin Yi every moment.

If he were to offend an Innate Golden Core Grandmaster to the death at this time, it would obviously be extremely unwise.

Finally, and most importantly, what the Chu Family gave was really... "too much!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled helplessly in his heart. After nodding to Chu Haitian, he stepped off the Martial Arts Stage and returned to their residence to celebrate with his excited parents, Wang Kai, Dean Zhao Haihong, and other close associates from the audience, while Chu Haitian immediately rushed back to gather the silver... Thus, only about an hour later.

After Lin Yi had eaten and drunk his fill and returned to the mother pool of the scarlet dragon courtyard in the Tianshan Pavilion.

A full six billion silver taels had now been delivered to Lin Yi's room by Chu Haitian!

"attribute panel, charge!"

In the room, after seeing off Chu Haitian and closing the doors and windows, Lin Yi didn't hesitate for a moment and directly commanded the attribute panel in his mind.

Then... *Clatter!*

As soon as Lin Yi's voice fell, the large number of Silver Notes in the wooden boxes before him evaporated instantly.

In their place, the various numbers in the charging column of his attribute panel soared rapidly.

8%!

48%!

88%!

100%!

150%

200%

...On the attribute panel, the numbers soared one after another until they finally stopped after surging to a terrifying 356.55% in one go.

Then... *Whoosh!*

In Lin Yi's mind, the transparent attribute panel changed again, transforming from rows of text into a vast and boundless Starry Sky Scroll in the blink of an eye.

On the entire scroll, only green, purple, and gold stars shimmered, each emitting a dazzling radiance.

At this moment, the proportion of green stars had slightly decreased compared to last time, accounting for only 65%; although they still held the largest share, they were not as dominant as before.

The purple stars were now approaching 35%, an increase of nearly 5 percentage points compared to last time.

Although their number was still far inferior to the green stars, their endless purple light had actually overtaken the green light, illuminating a large part of the starry sky in purple!

In the Sea of Consciousness, just as Lin Yi was looking at the Starry Sky Scroll above him.

Then, on the Starry Sky Scroll.

"Whoosh!"

An incredibly bright star suddenly fell, and its color was—

Mystic Purple!
