281: The foundation of the rise of the earth!

Outside Canglan Star's atmosphere, in the eternal deep space.

A golden saucer-shaped spaceship was flying at sub-light speed.

"Fan-ge, it seems we haven't submitted our probationary mercenary assessment mission yet," Han Li whispered, reminding Chen Fan.

Although he was already a Cosmic-level martial artist, he was still very curious about this 'Universe Probationary Mercenary'.

After all, only by obtaining this probationary mercenary badge could they proceed with the subsequent assessments.

Hearing this, Chen Fan finally remembered that he hadn't submitted it yet.

"Alright, we'll go back to the Universe Mercenary Alliance's outpost once more."

"Return!"

...Half an hour passed with the back and forth trip.

When the spaceship reappeared in deep space, everyone had a small golden star on their chests.

"We've finally become Universe Probationary Mercenaries."

Han Li and Fang Yuan were overjoyed, constantly touching the probationary mercenary icon on their chests.

"From now on, we are martial artists with status in the universe," Ma Liang said with immense pleasure.

"Yes, this time we caused such a huge uproar on Canglan Star; we've all become famous."

Thunder God said with a smile, yet without any fear in his heart.

It was only because Chen Fan was by his side that he felt so at ease.

"Yes, the treasures we've collected this time are enough to match the entire net worth of most World Lords, and those powerful individuals are all envious!" Hong added.

"Canglan Star is too chaotic. Next, let's go visit Qiulong Star to avoid the limelight."

"I have a huge castle on Qiulong Star, you know."

Chen Fan looked at everyone, saying mysteriously.

"Oh, a castle?"

Everyone simultaneously turned their heads, looking at Chen Fan in surprise.

He simply nodded, smiling without speaking.

"Although Qiulong Star isn't as prosperous as a major planet like Canglan Star, it's safer. We can rest for a few days before returning to Earth."

"Alright!" everyone replied in unison.

..."Countdown five seconds, initiating universe shuttle!!"

"Five, four, three, two, one!!"

"Depart!!"

After a brief tremor, the E8-class spaceship began traversing the Dark Universe at 1.5 times the speed of light.

The set destination was Qiulong Star, countless light-years away.

Inside the spaceship's cabin, many people were already lying down.

The intense battles of the past few days had greatly depleted their physical and mental energy; even though they had become Universe Rank martial artists, they were still somewhat overwhelmed.

At this moment, inside the spaceship's control room.

Chen Fan, Wang Teng, Thunder God, Hong, and Ma Liang stood side by side in front of the central console.

"We've gained a lot this time, but wealth moves hearts. To avoid attracting the attention of some powerful individuals, our primary goal for this trip to Qiulong Star is to dispose of these treasures and convert them into cash directly."

Chen Fan looked at the nearly eight hundred treasures on the large screen, already having a plan for the future.

"Cash them in, how much money would that be!" Wang Teng stared intently at the large screen, his eyes sparkling with little stars.

"No matter how much money, this time it is the wealth of our Earth. Of course, the majority of it will be Wang Teng's growth fund, that goes without saying."

Hong also watched the treasures with unblinking eyes, a hint of excitement on his face.

To rise in the universe, talent and wealth are indispensable.

"Hehehe!!" Hearing this, Wang Teng chuckled, not saying much more.

Next, Chen Fan first set aside some weapons and rare treasures suitable for Earth martial artists.

The other less important items were all directly selected, ready to be converted into cash.

The buyers, naturally, were Bank Manager Kaido and World Lord Yaso on Qiulong Star.

After all, Chen Fan had discussed this matter with Yaso before.

"Additionally, this time on Qiulong Star, we need to retrieve that inherited secret technique, the light-based secret technique, and the one hundred thousand hun yuan units, and then purchase some treasures suitable for the current growth of Earth martial artists."

Chen Fan said solemnly.

For him, this trip to Qiulong Star involved three things: cashing in treasures, retrieving secret techniques, and activating the second-level account.

These three matters were equally important, each related to Earth's rise, and could not be overlooked.

Ever since Chen Fan was promoted to Universe Rank, the second level of wealth left by Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord could also be activated.

Thinking of this second fortune, Chen Fan's expression became slightly excited.

When he became a Planetary Level martial artist, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord had gifted him 200 billion cosmic coins in wealth.

Now that Chen Fan's strength had undergone Earth-shattering changes, then this second level of wealth should also have increased proportionally!

Chen Fan secretly pondered in his heart.

According to his estimate, this second level of wealth should not surpass Realm Lord Ming Sa's entire net worth, perhaps not even reaching one hundred thousand hun yuan units.

Chen Fan had already prepared himself mentally for this.

In reality, Chen Fan also knew that what was most precious to him now was not the five-level Galaxy Bank password left by Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord.

Rather, it was the numerous legacies and treasures left by this top Universe Overlord.

Hundreds of thousands of fourth and fifth-tier weapons, as well as a considerable number of heavy treasures, Chen Fan had also discovered some ultimate treasures.

Although the quantity was very small, it was enough to prove the profound heritage of Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord, a top Universe Overlord.

However, whether it was heavy treasures or ultimate treasures, they were not something Chen Fan could use at present.

Chen Fan also knew that he could only exert a portion of the power of even a fourth-tier Origin Power weapon now.

Let alone heavy treasures and ultimate treasures that far exceeded fifth-tier Origin Power weapons.

Having a treasure mountain but not knowing how to use it, Chen Fan was also very helpless about this.

He could only carefully preserve these heavy treasures and ultimate treasures, to be distributed to Earth martial artists later when they became powerful, to enhance their strength!

Having understood this point, Chen Fan already had a clear goal in mind.

This time, he not only wanted to dispose of most of Realm Lord Ming Sa's equipment and convert it into cash.

He also wanted to sell some of Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's equipment to purchase treasures suitable for Earth martial artists to improve and grow stronger—

For example, Purple Light Dew, azure wave marrow, and Earth Core Essence, these three treasures are very useful for students, Planetary Level, and Astral Rank martial artists.

Previously, Chen Fan's attention was only on Purple Light Dew and azure wave marrow, simply because he didn't have much wealth and couldn't afford a high-grade item like Earth Core Essence.

And he also knew that the wealth gained from selling various weapons this time would far exceed one hundred thousand hun yuan units.

Even if the majority of it was left entirely to Wang Teng for his future cultivation, the remaining money would still be enough to purchase many, many things.

At least, there would be no more worries about materials for the many Earth martial artists.

With so many materials in hand, Chen Fan began to look forward to Earth's future.

At that time, what kind of leapfrog development would Earth martial artists experience? Even Chen Fan felt excited just thinking about it.

The day of Earth's rise is coming soon!!

...In the Dark Universe, amidst an eternal silence.

A golden saucer-shaped spaceship was traversing space-time at 1.5 times the speed of light, heading towards Qiulong Star.

It would take about 21 days to travel from Canglan Star through the Dark Universe back to Earth.

However, traveling to Qiulong Star would only take less than five days.

In the vast and desolate Dark Universe, the spaceship carrying Chen Fan and his group was still on its way to Qiulong Star.

Less than two days remained until their arrival at Qiulong Star... In the spaceship's lounge, Chen Fan lay on a very comfortable large bed, resting with his eyes closed.

Each private lounge was like a large study, complete with tables, chairs, decorations, and plants... everything one could need.

"Connect to the Virtual Universe network."

Chen Fan closed his eyes, his consciousness quickly connecting to the Virtual Universe network.

Flying through the Dark Universe was monotonous and boring.

He needed to spend some time with his family.
