Points: 16132

"There are still over sixteen thousand points left, these points really aren't enough!"

After glancing at the attribute panel, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Half a day ago.

After killing Lin Xiongan, a Cave Heaven Realm expert, and annihilating the Wang and Lin families, plus some inventory from the Xiao Family, his points finally broke through the seventy thousand mark.

He didn't expect that after the series of actions just now, only over sixteen thousand points would be left.

It seems that accelerating the pace of collecting resources is still an urgent matter.

As the thought settled.

Xiao Chen didn't spend points to exchange for treasures in the mall; instead, he took out some pills.

Spirit Origin Pill!

A common third-rank pill that can greatly increase the cultivation speed of Spirit Aperture Realm cultivators.

Even a low-grade third-rank Spirit Origin Pill can save a Spirit Aperture Realm cultivator a month of hard cultivation.

If it's an excellent spirit origin pill of the third rank, just one pill can equal half a year of hard cultivation for a Spirit Aperture Realm cultivator.

However, the refining of this Spirit Origin Pill has extremely strict requirements for heat control.

Even some powerful Earth Rank alchemists rarely manage to refine excellent spirit origin pills.

And Heaven Rank alchemists disdain to refine this kind of pill, so excellent spirit origin pills are also extremely rare on the market.

Each one is even speculated to be worth five thousand spirit crystals, enough to buy a mid-grade Profound Rank spiritual weapon.

What Xiao Chen held in his hand at this moment.

Were all the relatively common low-grade Spirit Origin Pills, resources obtained after the annihilation of the two major families.

There were a total of one hundred and thirty-eight pills; the Xiao Family kept thirty-eight as cultivation resources for the clansmen.

The remaining one hundred pills were given to Xiao Chen to handle as he saw fit.

"Although low-grade Spirit Origin Pills can increase cultivation, because the refining is not perfect, some impurities remain inside."

"If taken long-term, it will be harder to break through when cultivating to the later stages."

Looking at the pills before him, Xiao Chen chose not to consume them.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately inquired.

"System, how many points does it cost to upgrade a Spirit Origin Pill from low-grade to excellent?"

"Ding! After system detection, upgrading one pill requires two hundred points."

As Xiao Chen's voice fell, the system also responded.

"Two hundred points per pill?"

Hearing the answer given by the system, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

This consumption was within his acceptable range.

However, with the points he had remaining now, he couldn't upgrade all the pills.

"System, help me upgrade eighty Spirit Origin Pills!"

As the thought settled, Xiao Chen immediately ordered.

He naturally had to use the best resources for his cultivation.

As for the extra Spirit Origin Pills, they could be given to the Xiao Family to sell.

Turning them into liquid funds, and then using them to purchase other materials, thereby recycling and converting them back into points.

After all, the system would not recycle items that had been repaired or upgraded by the system and convert them into points.

This also made Xiao Chen, who had originally wanted to exploit a bug, give up the idea of taking an unconventional path.

"Ding! The system has deducted sixteen thousand points and is upgrading eighty Spirit Origin Pills for the host..."

As the system prompt sounded again, a strong light burst forth in the room.

Among the one hundred Spirit Origin Pills placed before Xiao Chen, eighty pills underwent a transformation in the light.

The surface of the pills, which originally had some flaws, instantly became crystal clear like jade, and one could even see pill patterns!

This was proof that the pill's quality had reached excellent grade, with not the slightest impurity inside!

A rich medicinal fragrance permeated the room, causing Xiao Chen's body to tremble involuntarily.

Just the medicinal fragrance emanating from these pills caused his cultivation within his body to increase.

If he were to consume these pills, his cultivation would undoubtedly surge rapidly!

"An excellent spirit origin pill can be sold for five thousand spirit crystals, eighty excellent spirit origin pills would be four hundred thousand spirit crystals."

"This is enough to buy more than half of the Xiao Family."

Looking at the eighty excellent spirit origin pills floating before him, each one was like a brilliant star in the night sky, a world apart from the other twenty Spirit Origin Pills.

This made Xiao Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

If he had four hundred thousand spirit crystals, the resources he could collect would at least be convertible into forty to fifty thousand points.

Subtracting the points he spent on upgrading, he might even earn twenty to thirty thousand points.

Operating in such a repeated cycle, his points would accumulate more and more; this was the terrifying aspect of having a cheat!

"Let's improve my cultivation first..."

"Otherwise, if I take out too many excellent resources later without corresponding strength, I'm afraid I'll just be courting disaster."

As the thought settled, Xiao Chen didn't hesitate at all.

He immediately consumed an excellent spirit origin pill and began refining the pill to frantically increase his cultivation.

............

On the other side.

Tiandu City, Lin Family.

"Family Head, something terrible has happened!!"

Half a day after the annihilation of the Wang and Lin families, a man ran into the inner courtyard in a panic, directly reaching the Family Head Lin Yao's study.

"We received a piece of intelligence..."

"The Liuyun City Xiao Family, who had a grudge with Young Master Lin Feng, suddenly annihilated the other two large families in Liuyun City, and even the City Lord's Mansion didn't dare to stop them."

"It seems there's a mysterious expert assisting the Xiao Family from behind."

"What?!"

Hearing what the visitor reported, the brush in Lin Yao's hand trembled violently, and he immediately raised his head.

"Do you know the detailed situation?!"

For some reason, after asking this question, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Two days ago.

His Father Lin Xiongan suddenly came out of seclusion, and after learning about the Xiao Family's matter, he disappeared, likely having secretly gone to Liuyun City.

And now.

A change had occurred in Liuyun City; could it be related to his Father Lin Xiongan?

"The intelligence transmitted over isn't very detailed..."

"We only know that there were experts above the Cave Heaven Realm fighting within the Xiao Family, and in the end, the Xiao Family seems to have killed the powerful enemy and also annihilated the other two large families along the way."

"Damn it, how could such a thing happen..."

Hearing that the Xiao Family had killed a powerful enemy, Lin Yao's pupils constricted violently, and his heart became even more uneasy.

Could this so-called powerful enemy be his old man?!

"No, I must go see the other two Supreme Elders and have them go to Liuyun City to investigate!"

As the thought settled in his mind.

Lin Yao walked out of the study with a gloomy face and headed towards the depths of the Lin Family's ancestral hall.

............

Time passed like a white colt flashing past a crevice; two and a half days flew by in a blink.

As Xiao Chen refined the tenth excellent spirit origin pill, an incomparably powerful aura burst forth from him.

In just two and a half days.

Through this kind of frantic pill-popping cultivation, his cultivation broke through to the Spiritual Aperture Seventh Realm, a full four minor realms higher than before.

"Although my cultivation has increased, my combat experience is lacking."

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to temper myself in actual combat to fully unleash this strength!"

Feeling the surging cultivation within his body, Xiao Chen muttered with flickering eyes.

If he only pursued cultivation while neglecting combat skills, even if he had powerful cultivation in the future, it would just be a facade.

"Right, Cai Yan is a Heavenly Human Realm expert; if she could spar with me, my combat experience would advance by leaps and bounds!"

As his thoughts turned, Xiao Chen's eyes couldn't help but brighten.

Cai Yan was a top expert of the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Dynasties, having experienced countless battles throughout her life.

If he could spar with such an expert, his progress would undoubtedly be the fastest.

What's more, sparring inevitably involves physical contact, which is a great opportunity to promote feelings!

With a plan in mind, Xiao Chen immediately walked out of the room.
