My Mysterious Left Hand

If I had known those local prodigies were so valuable, I should have tried harder to capture that princess as well.

It wasn't that he had never seen money before; it was just that the value of this money was beyond his imagination.

In fact, he hadn't seen much money, after all, he was an orphan.

The others nearby were also stunned and speechless upon hearing this.

"Are Originium stones that valuable?"

"To be precise, it's those local prodigies who are valuable; one of them can fetch such a large ransom!"

"Damn, I should have kidnapped a few people too... but I don't think I have the ability."

"Thirteen families, each contributing ten thousand catties of source stones... How much is that again...? I'm stunned!"

The nearby Earth adventurers stared blankly at Major General Han Ling and Li Chen.

Major General Han Ling smiled slightly: "130,000 catties of source stones sounds like a lot, but it's actually not that much. You'll find out later."

At this moment, the mysterious little beast returned and threw out thirteen spatial rings.

The thirteen spatial rings were lifted by an invisible force, streaking across a thousand meters of sky, and flying towards Major General Han Ling: "The items are all inside, take a look. But I must warn you, these thirteen families are very angry, so be extra careful when you travel in the future."

Because Li Chen obtained a portion of the Void Temple's inheritance, he was practically one of their own, so its attitude had completely changed.

Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that I was the one who provoked Li Chen first, which is why a bit of my divinity was stolen from me.

"So he's half a successor of the temple; no wonder he possesses such miraculous abilities."

Thinking about it from a different perspective, the mysterious little beast immediately felt much better.

Major General Han Ling took all the spatial rings, examined them carefully, and then handed them to Li Chen: "The items are fine."

Li Chen took the spatial ring and probed it with his senses, immediately seeing piles of glittering stones.

"Is this Originium?"

A thought struck him: he knew that the spatial rings of the people he had captured before also contained this kind of stone, though not as many.

The space ring that Ju Chongli mentioned, belonging to Lan Bo, only contained a few dozen kilograms of source stones.

Besides the Originium, each spatial ring contained a page of scripture, the contents of which were complete, though they didn't seem to be of very high quality.

Moreover, these scriptures do not correspond to a specific realm, but can be practiced at every realm, implying a kind of "one method to understand".

That's understandable. Those people probably hate him to death right now, so how could they possibly bring out the best scriptures?

After confirming that there were no problems, Li Chen took out the Cave Heaven Fossil and ransacked all the valuables on Ju Chongli and the other thirteen prodigies before releasing them.

These people were in a state of apparent death inside the cave fossil. After being released, their heartbeats were restored immediately, but they remained unconscious.

"Oh my god, that's terrible."

"They're all disabled, so it should be alright, right?"

The Earth adventurers stared in astonishment at the person on the ground, feeling that Li Chen had really gone too far.

On Earth, this kind of injury would absolutely result in a lifelong disability.

"There are precious medicines in this world that can regenerate severed limbs, as long as you're not dead."

A kilometer away, the mysterious little beast waved its hand, and an invisible force swept the thirteen people away.

At the same time, a sentence rang in Li Chen's ears: "Boy, after you reach the peak of the ninth realm of mortals, you can come back for the assessment and obtain the follow-up texts of the Void Furnace Scripture."

This sound should only be audible to Li Chen, but Li Chen did not react to it.

Because what he is currently focusing on is a new cultivation method he created himself, even the "Void Furnace Scripture" is only of reference value to him at this time.

Near the passage, many people looked on with envy at the dozen or so spatial rings in Li Chen's hand.

130,000 catties of Origin Stones! That's equivalent to 13 trillion RMB.

Such terrifying wealth is enough to make countless people envious.

"A fossil from a grotto? That's a good thing; it'll be useful after you reach the peak of the mortal realm."

Major General Han Ling smiled as he looked at the cave fossil that Li Chen had taken out, saying, "This kind of thing isn't too precious because it's easy to spoil after being dug up, so you have to take good care of it. Also, be careful and try not to stray too far from the military base."

He was reminding Li Chen that having so many source stones might attract unwanted attention.

"Thank you for the reminder, Major General Han." Li Chen nodded.

At the same time, a thought struck him: this fossil wouldn't break so easily if it were in his hands.

If someone else has this item, I might be able to buy it, enhance it, and then resell it.

"Let's go, I have something to tell you."

Major General Han Ling turned around and walked directly towards the world passage.

Li Chen's brows twitched slightly, and he followed.

The world passage, now fully formed and stable, glows with a faint blue light.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Li Chen felt that the situation inside this world passage was somewhat similar to the inside of his own meridians.

At this moment, Major General Han Ling, who was walking ahead, asked, "Could the military make a copy of those scriptures? The country is preparing to establish a university for cultivators, and these kinds of scriptures are extremely scarce."

"A university for cultivators?" Li Chen was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.

"That's right. Now that the source energy has been restored, the Earth and the universe have become suitable for cultivation. Many strange things have happened among the people. The army alone cannot handle everything. The people need to save themselves."

Major General Han Ling explained, "Based on various fossil evidence, there must have been a cultivation era on Earth and in the universe countless years ago. After the source energy is revived, some things that are not completely dead will inevitably emerge. We need to prepare in advance."

He paused, turned back to look at Li Chen: "If you are willing to let the military make a copy, I can arrange for you to have a teaching position."

"Teacher positions? Not student positions?" Li Chen was taken aback.

He only graduated from high school and never went to university.

Major General Han Ling smiled and explained, "If teachers are qualified enough, they can not only enjoy the same treatment as students, but also obtain some privileges, such as accessing various materials or freely entering and exiting the world passage where the academy is located."

"You are no longer suitable to enter this forbidden wilderness forest. Don't be fooled by the fact that the monster seemed to have become more friendly towards you. Who knows what its true purpose is? Furthermore, according to intelligence obtained by the military, the Void Temple disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago. That legacy may not be a good thing."

He paused, then added, "Furthermore, you killed quite a few young prodigies from that world this time. If you leave from here, you may never be able to leave that forest, as there will definitely be super strong experts outside who will try to kill you."

He had already received reports about Li Chen's terrifying strength and how Li Chen had defeated countless young prodigies.

Li Chen was well aware of this: "I have to thank the military for their support this time; otherwise, I might not have been able to obtain these resources. Major General Han, feel free to take a copy."

He took out the thirteen scriptures directly.

"I'll just take a picture."

Major General Han Ling immediately took out his phone to take pictures.

He quickly finished filming, and after confirming there were no problems, he returned the scripture to Li Chen and saluted, saying, "Thank you very much."

Li Chen smiled slightly, put the scripture away again, and then tried to put the cave fossil into his spatial ring, since the spatial ring was easier to carry.

However, he was surprised to find that the cave fossils could not be stored in his spatial ring, but the spatial ring could store the cave fossils without any restrictions.

"Could it be because there are living creatures inside the fossilized cave?" He considered this possibility.

This guess was quickly confirmed, because he saw the information about the space ring through the Eye of Time and Space.

The spatial ring can only store inanimate objects; no living things can be placed inside.

He then put all the spatial rings into the cave fossil, and then put the cave fossil into his pocket.

Soon, the two passed through the world portal and returned to Earth.

At this moment, Major General Han Ling took out a card and a small instrument, operated them for a few moments, and then handed the card to Li Chen.

"This is your teaching certificate for the Cultivation University. I only have one recommendation spot here, so it's perfect for you."

He looked at Li Chen with a serious expression: "This certificate is not just a symbol of privilege, but also represents certain obligations. You are not required to fulfill those obligations at present, but I hope you will not abuse your power to do anything illegal or disorderly."

"Please rest assured, Major General Han." Li Chen nodded, took the document, and discovered that it was not made of ordinary material.

"Once your cultivation reaches the fifth realm, you can input your energy to contact other teachers. This certificate is also a kind of special communicator that can be used in another world, but communication can only be carried out within the same world."

Major General Han Ling explained, "However, for now, it's just an ordinary document to you."

Li Chen's brows twitched slightly as he put the documents away.
