Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 124 Resource Overwhelm, Rapid Credit Farming

next day

Having witnessed the power of a tribulation-bound cultivator before, Li Xijun obediently entered through the main gate.

After passing through the various landscapes of the artificial hills, flowing water, gardens, and bamboo groves,

Li Xijun came to the open wooden door of the waterside pavilion once again.

This time, the old man's figure, as faint as ink, was set against the azure sky. Water lilies spread quietly on the surrounding water, and koi occasionally broke the surface silently, creating ripples before disappearing without a trace, which was extremely poetic.

When Li Xijun approached, she noticed that Li Boyan did not seem to be as leisurely as before when brewing tea.

Instead, he seemed to have something on his mind, sitting cross-legged and looking at the chessboard on the tea table.

Although Li Xijun wasn't an expert, he had learned some things, from an outsider's perspective.

The opponent's black pieces were almost forming a large group, while Li Boyan's white pieces were still somewhat hesitant.

Seemingly feeling that a direct confrontation would result in a lose-lose situation, they have been hesitant to make a move.

"hope-jun, do you think we should take a step back or fight on?"

These were not words of testing, but rather seemed to indicate that Li Boyan was genuinely seeking advice.

"My chess skills are rudimentary, and I dare not offer any comment."

Li Xijun was aware of Boyan Gong's condition but did not immediately express his thoughts.

"It's alright, just say it."

"In my humble opinion, we should give it a shot if we can."

Li Xijun, who had always kept his master Zhang Fuhu in mind, was honest and straightforward, never hiding anything from anyone.

"If we go straight into a fight, it will likely result in mutual destruction, and it's very likely that my piece will lose." Li Boyan's fingers unconsciously traced the chess pieces.

"But the opponent is about to complete their dragon formation. If we retreat, the situation will likely become a series of retreats. Even if we realize our mistake later and want to fight again, we may find ourselves powerless to do so."

Li Xijun didn't think the other person was simply asking about the game, but true to his personality, he continued to speak frankly:

"In my opinion, sometimes it's better to lose both sides than to let the other side win alone. When necessary, it's simply a matter of giving up everything and taking a gamble."

"However, if possible, try to get out of this game."

"Since we can't win every time we play within the rules, let's just flip the table and throw the chessboard around."

Li Xijun said this.

"Hehehe, that's just like you."

Li Boyan suddenly laughed, waved his hand and sent the black and white chess pieces flying into the box, and the chessboard returned to the shelf to the side.

"However, stepping out of the chessboard isn't as simple as it sounds. If you truly have this ambition, then you should first achieve the Martial Saint of Fist Intent. After all, you're only... eh?"

Li Boyan suddenly stared at Li Xijun with some surprise, equally incredulous.

"You've already reached the Blood Transformation Realm so quickly?"

"I was lucky enough to obtain some rare and precious materials, which accelerated the marrow cleansing process, and then I broke through."

Li Xijun was telling the truth, and Li Boyan was indeed certain that it was true.

However, both sides knew that this was only part of the truth.

But this Duke Boyan didn't care about any of that.

He needed to know that Li Xijun was indeed on the right path, and that his breakthrough was due to a significant increase in his internal energy after consuming rare and precious herbs.

"It's really, really unbelievable."

Even so, Li Boyan, still somewhat incredulous, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

It's truly baffling what Li Xijun ate that allowed him to surpass the internal energy accumulation that ordinary marrow cleansing masters take years to build up, achieving mastery of marrow cleansing and directly entering the blood exchange stage.

"Alright, alright, it's good that you have this opportunity. There's another great opportunity, which I'd like to explain here."

Li Boyan had no further intention of investigating what secrets the boy possessed.

Since the other party has come, he might as well tell them about the opportunity in advance.

"Since you can improve so quickly, you should consider completing the blood transfusion as soon as possible and concentrating your fist intent."

"At that time, Youli will have an opportunity that will allow you to rival the Seven Gods in the future, and that opportunity will fall into your hands."

Li Xijun was not too surprised to hear this.

He had long realized that something was wrong with Su Youli, the Ninth Princess; her true dragon bloodline was far too pure.

Now, upon hearing Li Boyan's words, they suddenly seemed perfectly reasonable.

This also fueled his motivation to become a martial arts master.

but

"Speaking of the pursuit of the Fist Intent Martial Saint, I have come here to ask you about related matters."

Li Xijun recounted the events of the previous night without reservation, including Dian Lei, Eunuch Hua, the National Martial Arts Masters Association, and the secret method they gave her for using external resources to aid in blood refining.

"I see. You can join the National Martial Arts Masters Association without any problem. This secret technique is truly the result of a lot of hard work, ingenious and exquisite."

After listening to the entire presentation, Li Boyan nodded slightly and continued:

"However, due to the [Eastern and Western Continents' Number One Martial Arts Tournament] and the fact that His Majesty's tomb is nearing completion."

"The capital city is far too complicated now. The Seven Gods Church of the Western Continent and many other forces in the Great Sheng Dynasty are all mixed up here."

"I suggest that after you arrive, you go straight to the National Martial Arts Masters Association and immediately accept the quest that can obtain the Sunstone and Moonstone. It would be best to do the quest outside the capital."

"Once it's done, don't linger too long in the capital. Either return to Tianjin quickly, or stay in the National Martial Arts Masters Association and use that treasure to accelerate your blood transfusion process as soon as possible. Once you've mastered the blood transfusion, you can start thinking about other things."

"After all, your reputation in Tianjin is now known to the Seven Gods Church, especially the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of the God of War. If you enter the capital, and they really send out Sequence 3 magic potion cultivators to assassinate you, you may face a life-or-death crisis."

Li Xijun nodded more and more as she listened.

"I will remember this and will certainly not let external matters distract me from the real key."

"Yes, I trust your character."

Li Boyan pointed to the garden.

"Youli is over there, you should go now, and never let her down again."

Li Xijun rose and bowed, then turned and went into the garden, where he casually patted the dragon maiden's head.

He stayed with the other party until nightfall, and only left Li Boyan's residence after it was completely dark.

only,

Li Xijun had no intention of going to the National Martial Arts Masters Association in the capital as the other party suggested, just to quickly accept the mission.

Then, after taking certain risks to complete the mission and obtain the Sunstone and Moonstone, I ran back to Tianjin to cultivate in seclusion.

"This is essentially a distorted, corrupt, and insane world of Dasheng."

"Can their products compare to our Federation, which possesses resources from countless mythical worlds?"

"It's just a rare treasure imbued with the essence of the sun and moon; I'll give it to you in a heartbeat using my academic credits!"

As Li Xijun's words faded into the wind,

Also disappearing was the person who had already returned to the main world.

That night

When Li Xijun opened his system interface and saw that he only had 11 credits left, he silently retracted his preface.

[Starry Sky Sunstone, a special resource formed after absorbing a large amount of solar essence in the starry sky. It can be hung in front of the bed every day to help fire-attribute martial artists accelerate their cultivation speed by accumulating over time, such as those practicing the "Corona Celestial Survey Scripture". Requirement: 8 credits.]

[Sea Spirit Moon Crystal, produced in the mythical world of the Sea Spirit Clan, is a crystal formed from a pool of water that has absorbed the power of the moon's essence for many years. Wearing it daily can help martial artists practicing water-attribute techniques increase their cultivation speed. Requirement: 8 credits.]

"These items are all truly excellent. They are rare and precious materials that can be used for a long time and will subtly accelerate the cultivation speed."

"The problem is that I don't have enough credits now."

Previously, Li Xijun was able to advance from a life level of 13.0 to 14.9 in three months.

Besides using the [Star Marrow Glimmer] in conjunction with bathing in [Heavenly Dragon Blood], I also spent an extra 20 credits to consume two Dragon Blood Fruits in March.

It is used to assist in the transformation, which is why it can achieve such a rapid transformation.

Now it seems that all he has left are the 10 credits he received as a reward for completing the ranked matches last month, and the 1 credit he had left over from before.

"If it were someone else, they would probably have to train for two months while waiting for the start of the semester to earn credits."

"Fortunately, I still have the [Nine-Story Demon Tower], a great tool for racking up points."

After Li Xijun achieved the pinnacle of martial arts prowess, he focused on improving his mortal transformation realm.

Especially after previously exchanging for [Blood of the Heavenly Dragon], I've been focusing on rapidly improving my character after investing heavily in resources.

I haven't paid much attention to places like the Nine-Story Demon Tower, which are places for honing martial arts skills.

He hasn't even cleared the seventh floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower yet.

"Putting everything else aside, now that my martial arts skills have reached a certain level, I should be able to clear the seventh level of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, which will guarantee me at least 7 credits."

"As for the eighth floor, we should be able to give it a try too."

Having thought this through, Li Xijun no longer hesitated and entered the virtual pod directly.

When he arrived at this silvery-white space, beneath the nine-story demon tower, he discovered that the original golden list had changed.

[Nine-Story Demon Tower: Multi-University Joint Ranking]

[First Place: Ye Ningxue, 9th Floor, Progress 3]

[Second Place: Li Xijun, 7th Floor, Progress 34]

[Third Place: Chu Chenhuan, Seventh Floor, Progress 12]

"Um?"

Li Xijun was slightly surprised when she saw the changes.

"Although Chu Chenhuan was turned into a sword slave by the backlash, it is not surprising that he still possesses the swordsmanship of the Subtle Realm after breaking free with the help of his school principal and teachers."

"However, this Ye Ningxue seems a bit fierce; her talent in martial arts is truly remarkable."

Upon seeing this ranking, Li Xijun, who originally only wanted to rack up some credits and buy two rare and precious materials, suddenly felt a surge of competitive spirit.

"I'm curious about what's on the ninth floor."

After all,

Without hesitation, Li Xijun stepped into the seventh floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

"Dear Li Xijun, welcome to the seventh level of the Nine-Story Demon Tower. You will now face the challenge of 50 lava behemoths. Please kill all the lava behemoths within 30 minutes!"

"If you die midway, it is considered a failure. Failure to kill all the lava behemoths within 30 minutes is also considered a failure."

"If you successfully complete this mission, you will receive a 50% bonus to your reward credits."

The familiar scene of lava hell appeared before my eyes, and the familiar, clear and melodious female voice echoed in my ears.

This also reminded Li Xijun that she had this benefit.

"Yes, the seventh floor is worth 10 credits."

Thinking this, Li Xijun gripped the long sword in his hand.

Focusing intently on the fire giants before him, protected by thick lava armor,

In a flash, he slashed and neatly split it in two from the very center.

"Too weak. After reaching the pinnacle of the Microscopic Realm, the Lava Beast, which previously required multiple attacks and constant movement to break through its defenses, can be killed with a single strike."

Feeling bored, Li Xijun instantly transformed into a blur, turning all the monsters on the seventh floor into rubble in just a few dozen seconds.
