46: Chapter 46 Spending a fortune! I'm rolling in money now!

Hehuan Sect, main hall bedroom.

The morning sun filtered through the window lattice, spilling onto Wang Yang's large bed.

Liu Ruyan curled up in Wang Yang's arms like a lazy little kitten. After the baptism of the Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique and the explosive growth of her Realm last night, she was still fast asleep, a satisfied smile hanging at the corner of her lips.

Wang Yang did not get up but half-leaned against the headboard, his consciousness immersed in the newly unlocked LV3 System store.

The first thing that caught his eye was the shockingly long string of numbers in the top right corner.

[Current Points]: 1,109,000 Points!

"One million one hundred and nine thousand..."

Wang Yang shouted wildly in his heart, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Reclaiming Liuyun Sect—just the Spirit Stones, Materials, and Magic Treasure in the treasury, plus the net worth of that old miser Zhao Liuyun, made him instantly filthy rich!

Immediately after, a System notification caught his attention:

[Ding! As the store has upgraded to LV3, the reward mechanism for the Host's interactions with Dao Companions has been updated!]

[Original: Each interaction Cultivate +500 Points.]

[Current: Each interaction Cultivate +5,000 Points!]

[Note: The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the more the rewards!]

"What the f*ck? It increased tenfold?!"

Wang Yang was overjoyed. "It used to be only five hundred per time, now it's five thousand? Doesn't that mean as long as I work hard, getting rich isn't just a dream?"

With this nouveau riche mentality, he quickly browsed through the new product list for LV3.

Soon, a few Heaven-Defying items caught his eye.

[Item 1: Nascent Soul-Level Guardian Puppet (Peak Nascent Soul Stage)]

Price: 50,000 Points.

Description: A combat Puppet with the combat power of an Early Stage Nascent Soul. Its body is indestructible. The Host can split off a strand of Divine Thought to perform remote, beyond-visual-range control, ignoring distance restrictions.

Note: It is your best choice for home travel, killing people and seizing goods, and protecting Dao Companions when going down the mountain!

[Item 2: Unripe Enlightenment Tea Leaves (Pack)]

Price: 20,000 Points / 10 pieces.

Description: Although unripe, after brewing and drinking as tea, it can still significantly and briefly increase Comprehension Ability, helping Cultivators break through Bottlenecks and gain insights into Cultivation Techniques.

Note: A Divine Artifact for saving idiot Disciples (specifically referring to a certain Disciple with the surname Lin).

[Item 3: Death-Substitute Puppet]

Price: 2,000,000 Points.

Description: After dripping blood to bind it, when receiving a fatal attack, the Puppet automatically dies in place of the Revered Master and teleports the Revered Master back to the Sect grounds to resurrect. Only the Host and Dao Companions can use it; Disciples and other non-Dao Companion members cannot use it.

Note: This is what is known as having "an extra life."

"Death-Substitute Puppet... two million Points?!"

Wang Yang looked at that price; just a moment ago he felt like he was wealthier than a nation, but in an instant, he felt like he had been knocked back to his original form.

"Two million for one life..."

He started frantically calculating in his heart: "Although each interaction now increases by 5,000 points."

"But 2 million divided by 5,000... that means I have to Cultivate 400 times to afford one life!"

Wang Yang subconsciously clutched his kidneys, feeling a phantom pain.

"400 times... this is going to kill me!"

"Too expensive, too expensive! I only have one million one hundred thousand now, I can't even afford one! Not buying it for now!"

"As long as I am strong enough to wipe out all my enemies, I won't need this thing!"

Wang Yang decisively skipped the astronomical price of the Death-Substitute Puppet and turned his gaze to the first two items.

"I must buy the Guardian Puppet! This is solid, real Nascent Soul combat power!"

A sharp glint flashed in Wang Yang's eyes.

"Those bastards from the Ziyang Sect, the Grand Elder has been dead for so long and they haven't made a move; they must be plotting something evil. Plus, they are too cowardly and haven't come knocking for a long time. I can't just sit at home and wait for death."

"With this Puppet, I can remotely control it to go out and roam. Not only can I protect Qingcheng and the others when they go down the mountain, but I can also take the initiative to go to the Ziyang Sect's territory and stir up trouble!"

"And this Enlightenment Tea, I have to buy it too. That girl Xiao Wan has terrible Comprehension Ability; with this, she can Cultivate other Cultivation Techniques and skills faster in the future. My wives also need to improve their Comprehension Ability to Cultivate Spells."

Thinking of this, Wang Yang waved his hand, exuding the aura of a domineering CEO who wanted to buy everything.

"System! Spend!"

[Ding! Deducted 50,000 Points, purchased [Nascent Soul-Level Guardian Puppet] x1!]

[Ding! Deducted 20,000 Points, purchased [Unripe Enlightenment Tea Leaves] x1 pack!]

[Current Remaining Points]: 1,109,000 - 70,000 = 1,039,000 Points.

"Still have one million thirty-nine thousand... comfortable!"

Wang Yang looked at the palm-sized, exquisite wooden Puppet and the pack of fragrant tea leaves that appeared in his hand, his heart filled with a sense of security.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan in his arms let out a soft moan and woke up.

"Revered Master..."

She rubbed her eyes and saw Wang Yang looking at her gently. Her pretty face instantly turned red as she recalled last night's madness.

"Awake?"

Wang Yang put the items away and smiled, flicking her nose. "Since you're awake, Revered Master has a gift for you."

He flipped his palm, and two Medicinal Pills emitting a strange pink glow appeared in his hand.

It was exactly the god-level beauty preservation pill rewarded for completing the mission yesterday.

"This is..." Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up; a woman's intuition told her that this was definitely a good thing.

"A god-level beauty preservation pill. Eat one, and you will retain your youth forever, your appearance will never age, and it can even slightly adjust your features, taking your beauty to the next level."

"Ah! Is it for me?" Liu Ruyan was so excited she almost jumped up.

To a woman, the allure of such a Medicinal Pill is even greater than a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique!

Wang Yang looked at the two Medicinal Pills in his hand, actually feeling a bit conflicted.

"I have four wives, but only two Medicinal Pills. How do I split this?"

"This is what you call the happy trouble of unequal distribution."

He thought about it; Xiao Wan and Qingge had already eaten one each.

Although Ruyan was also a great beauty with a score of 96, because she had been hiding here and there all these years, her skin condition was slightly worse, so this would be a perfect supplement.

"Come, open your mouth, this one is for you."

Wang Yang fed one to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan swallowed the Medicinal Pill, and a soft light radiated around her body. Her already fair skin instantly became as crystal clear as jade, her features seemed even more refined and three-dimensional, and her whole person exuded a breathtaking charm.

"Thank you, Husband!" Liu Ruyan excitedly threw herself at him and planted a sweet kiss.

Wang Yang smiled and put away the remaining one.

"I'll keep this one for now."

"In case I meet a girl in the future who has a top-tier figure and a good personality, but her beauty is just a little bit off (like 89 points) causing the System to not classify her as a Dao Companion..."

"Feed her one, boost her straight to 90 points, and wouldn't that complete the mission?"

"Hehe, I really am a Genius!"

Just as he was thinking this, Wang Yang suddenly froze.

He remembered that a long time ago, he seemed to have given Ye Qingcheng two god-level beauty preservation pills.

"Strange, I haven't seen her eat those two Medicinal Pills, Qingcheng?"

"What is she keeping them for? Does she want to use them as a family heirloom?"

Wang Yang shook his head, unable to understand women's thoughts, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

...

Meanwhile. A thousand miles away, in the Forbidden Ground of the Ziyang Sect.

The gates of a palace burning with raging purple flames were blown wide open.

A middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold Dragon-patterned robe strode out. With every step he took, the surrounding space seemed to be scorched and distorted.

Ziyang Sect Sect Master—Yang Dingtian (Early Stage Nascent Soul)!

"Trash! You are all trash!"

Yang Dingtian looked at the Elders kneeling below in a sea of people, his anger burning:

"The Grand Elder took thirty Law Enforcement Guards, and they died silently in a tiny Qingshi Town?"

"They didn't even send out a distress signal?"

An Elder said tremblingly: "Sect Master, please calm your anger... According to reports from scouts, that... that Hehuan Sect is suspected to have... have a Nascent Soul expert sitting in charge! And the methods are extremely strange, suspected of possessing some kind of powerful Domain..."

"Nascent Soul?"

Yang Dingtian's eyes were cold; he was not as reckless as Xiao Changfeng.

To be able to become a Sect Master and reach the Nascent Soul Realm, he was naturally extremely suspicious and cautious.

"If it really is an old Nascent Soul monster, why have they been hiding in that backwater area? Why haven't they come directly to kill me at the Ziyang Sect?"

"There must be something fishy about this!"

Although he was furious and wished he could immediately go and destroy the Hehuan Sect, he was even more afraid of capsizing in the gutter.

Xiao Changfeng died inexplicably; this was a warning from the past.

"Go! Invite Grand Elder Guiying out of seclusion!"

Yang Dingtian suddenly shouted coldly.

The Elders below turned pale upon hearing this.

"Grand Elder Guiying? That... that is a Middle Stage Nascent Soul expert! And he is skilled in concealment and assassination..."

"Sect Master, is it necessary to mobilize such a great Buddha to deal with a tiny Sect?"

"A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Yang Dingtian's eyes:

"Elder Guiying's concealment technique is unmatched in the Southern Region. Even those in the Late Nascent Soul Stage would find it difficult to detect his tracks."

"Let him personally go to the Hehuan Sect and strip that so-called 'Nascent Soul old monster' down to their underwear!"

"If the other party is bluffing... Hmph!"

"Then don't blame my Ziyang Sect for skinning them and refining them into corpse Puppets!"

...

A moment later. A black shadow, almost transparent and without any aura fluctuations, floated out from the back mountain of the Ziyang Sect like a wisp of smoke, drifting silently towards the direction of Qingshi Town.

Middle Stage Nascent Soul assassin—Guiying!
