I am a high-level martial arts master.

After an incense stick has burned.

Ye Li followed the Dragon Girl to take inventory of the storehouse.

Then I realized that there were way too many of these!

Qi-Gathering Pill, 10 billion cubic meters!

Body Tempering Pill, 1000 billion cubic meters!

Heaven-Mending Pill, 1000 million units!

Thousand-year-old snow ginseng, 7000 million plants!

300 million ancient Ganoderma lucidum plants!

Ye Li stared blankly as he checked the list.

Others use the phrase "rich enough to rival a nation" to describe the extent of wealth.

But this magnificent palace of crimson gold is indeed measured in terms of wealth using the nation as the unit of measurement!

The pills are calculated according to the formula, with an average formula containing 100 million pills, weighing approximately one ton.

Ye Li had risked his life to obtain a single Heaven-Marrow Cleansing Pill during the Ten Cities Grand Competition, and here there were 1000 million of them. The Body Tempering Pills and Qi Gathering Pills were countless, piled up like mountains and seas.

There were so many pills that even Ye Li's current physique couldn't handle them; he could be crushed to death.

Seeing Ye Li's shocked expression, the remnant soul of the dragon girl remained silent to the side.

The entire Grandmaster Secret Realm was once the Dragon Girl's grotto-heaven. Its size was even larger than a star, and at its peak, it housed billions of beings who worked for the Dragon Girl.

And this is only the core cave heaven of a Grandmaster; external forces are not even included.

In the East Sea where the Dragon Girl originally lived.

A single Grandmaster-level Demon Emperor can easily occupy trillions of kilometers of ocean, with countless demon beasts constantly offering tribute to him.

For example, would refining a Heaven-Mending Pill deplete the earth's energy?

But any country has hundreds of earth veins that can be used to refine the Heaven-Mending Pill.

For grandmasters or even those with innate abilities, it's something they wouldn't even bother to bend down and pick up if they saw it on the roadside.

These acquired things, as long as the territory is large enough, can be obtained in any quantity.

Only those at the innate level or above become truly rare items and worthy of being noticed.

She had practically exhausted her wealth to purchase the entire grassland of age-defying sand and to obtain the method of possession from the Demon Emperor. But even what remained was enough for an ordinary cultivator to reach the fourth level of the Innate Realm without any problem.

"These things are of little use to you. At your cultivation speed, you'll break through to the Innate Realm in a few days," the Dragon Girl said calmly from the side.

She also knew that Ye Li's current level of cultivation was insufficient, and that things would be easier once his cultivation level improved.

Moreover... thinking of Ye Li's permanent certification effect, the Dragon Girl sighed again.

This guy has too many secrets.

The fact that someone has Martial Saint-level special effects even before becoming a Martial Saint makes people wonder if it's a smurf account created by a Martial Saint.

"What about the cultivation techniques and manuals?" Ye Li asked, withdrawing his gaze.

After the initial shock, he calmed down.

He knew that most of the pills here would be useless after he broke through to the Innate Realm.

Just like gold is scarce on Earth due to mining issues, but it's actually everywhere in the Earth's crust and the universe, and advanced civilizations can even turn lead into gold.

Conversely, the key is the method of practice; it is the foundation of oneself!

The Dragon Girl snapped her fingers lightly, and hundreds of cultivation manuals appeared before Ye Li's eyes one by one.

Ye Li's breath hitched. Looking at the huge pile of cultivation techniques, his eyes burned with fervor, and he said:

"How come you only have so few? You're an old dragon who's lived for thousands of years, how come you only have a few hundred manuals?"

"What's the use of me learning so many martial arts techniques?"

The Dragon Girl found it all very strange.

"These hundreds of books are all rare and precious treasures, almost impossible to find. Isn't that enough for you to learn?"

Ye Li remained silent for a moment.

Because he distrusted the Dragon Girl, he didn't want to tell her that he could obtain entries through cultivation techniques.

However, each of these hundreds of cultivation manuals is a unique, rare item that is extremely difficult to obtain innately.

That means it's very likely to be a blue or even purple entry?

Just thinking about the effect of starting with hundreds of blue entries made Ye Li's eyes widen.

Each one is an independent multiplication zone. If you learn all of these, wouldn't the sheer number of them explode?

"Am I invincible?"

This was Ye Li's first thought, but he quickly put it aside for the time being.

Because these techniques require time to practice.

The previous work, "Nine Hells Demon-Slaying Sword," took two or three months of stumbling and struggle before it reached perfection.

If these blue and purple entries were to be cultivated, the time required would certainly be much longer.

"I need to raise my cultivation level first, because cultivation level is the foundation of everything," Ye Li thought to himself.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the leap in thinking speed, comprehension ability, and refining efficiency.

Comprehending the purple cultivation technique in the Acquired Realm is like reading a heavenly book.

But if one reaches the Innate Realm, or even the Grandmaster Realm...

Returning to cultivation might only take a few days or even a moment!

Looking at the large pile of pills in front of him, Ye Li pondered for a moment and then said boldly:

"First, give me 100 Heaven-Mending Pills to soothe my throat, then give me 1000 ancient Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms."

Under the Dragon Girl's control, ten porcelain bottles containing Heaven-Mending Pills and 1000 jade boxes were sent out from the bronze wall covered with runes. Ye Li's current aptitude has reached the upper-grade of Grade A.

However, it's still a bit short of the limit for top-grade A, and luckily there are enough Heaven-Mending Pills to fill the gap.

Then, using this massive amount of ancient Ganoderma lucidum, I will break through to the Acquired Perfection stage!

"These pills and lingzhi can also be used by Xiyue and Master, allowing them to reach the limit of their cultivation level in the shortest time." Ye Li looked at the bronze runes in front of him.

With such a wealth of resources, even someone with terrible aptitude could break through to the Qi Condensation Realm within ten years.

Inside the bronze gate, there are also precious pills that can increase the chances of advancing to the Innate Realm.

Looking at this wall of precious resources, Ye Li's first thought was of his uncle and aunt's family, who were hidden within the territory of Xia Kingdom.

My uncle and aunt are both over forty years old, but they are not yet in the fifties and in a state of weakened health.

If one has access to a vast amount of resources provided free of charge, achieving the Qi Condensation stage is not difficult. The next 50 years will be sufficient for one to find a breakthrough and unlock the innate methods for those with weakened Qi and blood.

Ye Li thought of his family, and a faint excitement welled up in his heart.

Having cultivated for so long, I haven't seen them again. Once this period is over, I will be able to openly and legitimately bring them back.

"By the way, where is Wei Wanxi?" Ye Li asked.

"I've already returned to Ji Kingdom," the Dragon Girl said calmly.

"Her mission was to investigate the truth behind the decline of Xia Kingdom's national fortune. After I told her the truth, she was forcibly taken away half an hour ago." Seeing Ye Li's gaze and fearing that he would speak sarcastically to her again, the Dragon Girl changed the subject:

"Simply put, I draw upon the national fortune of tens of thousands of small countries in the Southern Territory and leave behind the legacy of entering the grotto heaven. The people in those countries whose fortune has been drawn will gradually decline, and the chances of creating good entries will decrease."

"That's not right either. Your goal is to possess a prodigy. If the probability of generating good entries decreases, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?" Ye Li questioned.

"Because epic entries are unique, they are not bound by the so-called national destiny. Even a martial saint has no way to create epic entries."

The dragon girl explained, "Those who can be easily influenced by me are just useless people with purple attributes. There are countless such people in the Southern Territory, and I don't even care about them."

After the Dragon Girl finished explaining, Ye Li sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.

"open!"

A low shout echoed in the empty hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, the stoppers on the ten bottles of Heaven-Mending Pills floating in front of him shattered simultaneously.

One hundred radiant pills transformed into a magnificent river of spiritual energy, which he swallowed whole!

At the same time, thousands of jade boxes opened instantly.

The ancient Ganoderma lucidum sealed inside releases a vast, ocean-like purple life essence.

The dense spiritual energy, almost tangible, rose and billowed like a purple ocean of clouds, completely engulfing Ye Li's figure.

A powerful yet gentle essence of life, like a gentle stream, began to flow continuously into his limbs and bones!

Inside the crimson-gold hall, the raging spatial turbulence and hissing sounds from the outside world seemed to be shut out.

Only Ye Li began to emanate an increasingly powerful aura, like a dormant volcano about to erupt.

The massive amount of pills and Ganoderma lucidum essence, under the frenzied absorption of his powerful physique, is being transformed into a tremendous force for him to break through the barrier of his realm at an unprecedented speed!

Even a single ancient Ganoderma lucidum can help a martial artist break through the bottleneck of a minor level.

At this moment, 1000 ancient Ganoderma lucidum plants were piled up around him as if they were free, and a massive amount of spiritual energy was drawn into Ye Li's body by his cultivation.

The 27 bone apertures that were missing from the original perfection were beginning to tremble slightly under Ye Li's devouring plunder.

The remnant soul of the dragon girl floated quietly in the corner of her sea of ​​consciousness, watching Ye Li's almost predatory cultivation posture outside, a complex emotion flashing in her dragon eyes.

My soul was ripped out by this mere human for several hours? And I'll have to follow this human for the rest of my life?

But the next moment, the Dragon Girl was frightened by Ye Li's cultivation method.

The energy contained in the ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is like a bursting dam, surging and turbulently washing over the limbs, bones, and meridians.

Ultimately, it transformed into a torrent of spiritual energy, rushing towards the last 27 skull bone openings!

Refining the skull's apertures, the true dragon's Dao embryo!

The core of the acquired state of perfection lies in the 29 acupoints of the skull!

This skull is the dwelling place of the spirit and the abode of the soul.

Compared to excavating the bone orifices of the limbs and opening the bone orifices of the trunk, opening the bone orifices of the skull is far more dangerous!

The slightest mistake could lead to mental instability or even death!

Ordinary martial artists need to hone their skills diligently, supplemented with precious calming pills, and proceed with extreme caution, taking many years before daring to attempt to open even a single acupoint.

But Ye Li is different!

I don't care about this or that!

"roar!"

An invisible dragon's roar reverberated from within Ye Li's body.

His muscles bulged, veins crisscrossing his skin like dragons and snakes, and fine, pale golden patterns, resembling dragon scales, faintly appeared on his body. A powerful surge of blood energy emanated from him, tinging the purple spiritual mist surrounding him with a golden glow.

"break!"

Ye Li's will was like a celestial blade, wielding golden internal energy compressed to its limit, carrying the vast vitality of the ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and the transformative power of the Heaven-Mending Pill. It transformed into twenty-seven exquisitely refined golden drills, simultaneously striking the twenty-seven key points of the bone acupoints!

The remnant soul of the dragon girl watched in horror from the corner, thinking that Ye Li had gone mad.

Surprisingly, they did not proceed step by step, excavating one section at a time.

Instead, it opens 27 bone orifices at the same time!

Only Ye Li could handle it...

Could the acquired state within the sea of ​​consciousness withstand that?
