..........
Li Wudao tried his best to suppress his excitement, and the chopsticks in his hand trembled slightly.
His guess was confirmed.
He had already made a fortune with just 100,000 taels of silver.
These numerous elixirs are conservatively valued at over a million taels of silver.
As for Earth-rank martial arts techniques and weapons, they are probably beyond the reach of ordinary gold and silver; they are priceless.
Not to mention the sacred medicine that can add a hundred years to one's lifespan with just one dose, which is beyond measure in value.
He made a fortune from just one meal.
Li Wudao sighed inwardly.
Cast a wide net to catch many fish, and choose the best ones to catch.
This is the true way to invest.
The more he thought about it, the more pleased he felt, and before he knew it, the corners of his mouth were curving into a wider smile; he was practically bursting into laughter with his hands on his hips.
This scene made Jiang Churan, who was standing next to her, secretly shake her head.
That's it, this child is beyond saving.
He's gone from being a simp to being completely insane.
After having enough wine and food.
The innkeeper approached the table, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "The total is 3753 taels. Let's round it down to 3700 taels. Which gentleman would like to pay for the meal?"
"Keep the change, just give me two jugs of good wine."
Li Wudao waved his hand and took out four silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels.
The entire room fell silent.
Hundreds of astonished eyes fell on the lazy-looking young man in white.
Many people initially thought the teenager was just joking, but they didn't expect him to actually do it.
This is a considerable sum of money; many families present couldn't afford it.
"This young master is truly generous; I admire him!"
Seeing how casual he was, the shopkeeper's eyes flickered with a subtle expression; he hadn't seen such an interesting young man in a long time.
He casually took out four thousand taels of silver to treat everyone to a meal without even blinking an eye.
They're either stupid or not interested in money.
However, he prefers the latter.
"Let's go."
As everyone watched him leave, Li Wudao took a swig of wine and walked out with a flourish, in a good mood.
He began to understand the protagonists in novels who were often portrayed as "powerful" or "refreshing."
It feels pretty good to show off.
"Based on the itinerary, we should need to stay overnight twice more before arriving at the Xuantian Sect..."
Inside the carriage, Li Wudao's eyes gleamed.
If he does it twice more, wouldn't he become rich overnight?
Li Wudao replicated it twice more during the process.
Unfortunately, the candidates I encountered were all mediocre, and the rebate results were far less than last time.
They were mostly ordinary gold and silver items, with very few related to cultivation, and their quality was limited to those below the Spirit Rank. They were better than nothing.
Moreover, Li Wudao discovered a problem.
The quality of the items that the more talented disciples of the Li family received as rebates also declined.
Even Jiang Churan, a Heavenly Mandate of Emperor level,
It was nothing more than a reward of one thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Li Wudao knew that spirit stones were the currency circulating in the cultivation world and could be used to aid in cultivation.
A low-grade spirit stone the size of a thumb is quite valuable.
1 low-grade spirit stone = 100 taels of gold = 1000 taels of silver
In the guest room.
Li Wudao sat by the window, gazing at the hazy night sky, his heart heavy with melancholy.
Through his two most recent attempts, he vaguely understood the mechanism behind the system's rebates.
The investment targets and projects should not be too low-level.
Especially the latter; if you invest in ordinary food and beverages, the results will only be acceptable the first time.
Later on, even for those born under the Chosen One, the rewards were quite ordinary.
"The system bug makes it hard to glitch..."
Li Wudao scratched his head.
The fantasy of making a fortune with a small investment has been shattered once again.
However, he didn't lose money; he made quite a bit of money along the way.
"We should arrive at the Xuantian Sect tomorrow. To be on the safe side, let's break through to the Perfect Body Tempering Realm first."
A few days ago, he had already reached the peak of body tempering and was not far from perfection.
next moment,
With a thought, Li Wudao took out a bottle of Qi-replenishing pills to aid his cultivation.
The Replenishing Essence Pill is a fifth-grade spiritual pill that replenishes Qi and strengthens the body, greatly increasing the cultivation speed of those below the Martial Grandmaster realm.
After finishing a bottle of pills,
Two and a half hours later, Li Wudao successfully broke through to the Perfection of the Body Tempering Realm.
After consolidating for a while,
After finishing his cultivation, Li Wudao began to check the rewards he had received over the past few days.
The system repository contained many items, but few were useful to him.
Among them, the most valuable items are the Seven Star Sword Manual, the Dragon Abyss Sword, and the Ginseng Fruit.
And it seems that the only thing he can use now is the ginseng fruit.
Ginseng Fruit: A supreme medicine, it cleanses the body, replenishes qi and blood, and one fruit can add a hundred years to one's life. It slightly improves physical attributes (effective upon first use).
Looking at the system introduction,
Li Wudao hesitated for a moment, then took out a ginseng fruit and prepared to eat it.
Basic talent attributes are also quite important; he can't afford to miss out on even the slightest improvement in aptitude.
The ginseng fruit was placed in a jade vessel. The moment the lid was opened, an exquisite fragrance wafted out, refreshing and delightful.
The fruit was about the size of a fist, white with a pale red tinge, and its outline resembled that of a newborn baby, with limbs vaguely visible, which was quite strange.
After taking a bite, Li Wudao felt like his skull was about to explode.
The flesh is sweet and fragrant; once swallowed, it instantly turns into white juice that quickly flows to every part of the body.
A tingling, numb sensation, like a gentle spring breeze or a long-awaited rain after a drought, leaving one feeling refreshed all over.
Suddenly,
Li Wudao frowned, feeling a surge of powerful life force coursing through his meridians, like a rushing river constantly washing over and permeating his internal organs and bones.
He quickly sat down to meditate and refine these life forces.
As the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, Li Wudao finally fully digested the ginseng fruit.
He subconsciously checked his attribute panel.
[Name: Li Wudao]
【Age: 16】
[Talent: Earth-grade Low-level (Excellent)]
[Realm: Early Stage of Blood Transformation Realm]
[Special physique: Haotian Eye (disabled)]
[Qi Luck: Chaos (Unknown)]
"Hiss! The talent bar has jumped two levels, and even the realm has increased by one level. No wonder it's a sacred medicine!"
Li Wudao was astonished, taken aback by the powerful effects of the ginseng fruit.
"Unfortunately, this sacred medicine can only improve one's aptitude the first time..."
Li Wudao felt it was a pity, as the other ginseng fruit could only extend his lifespan.
He didn't choose to eat it, intending to keep it for later use.
Li Wudao thought of the little maid. If he gave it to that girl, he was afraid it would be a huge surprise.
However, given his current situation, he cannot find a reasonable excuse or explain the origin of the ginseng fruit.
Such a miraculous medicine, if its secret were to leak out, would be a catastrophic disaster.
"Never mind, we'll have to make plans for later."
Li Wudao shook his head, stood up, and walked outside.
With his current background, even if he can't be assigned to the same team as Jiang Churan, he won't be relegated to a menial job.
He is at least an inner disciple.
Before long, the Li family set off again.
By evening, they had finally arrived at their destination, the Xuantian Sect.
