I, Thanks To My Unlimited Investment, Am Admired By All Races

“So powerful…” Qin Xueyi watched Li Xun fight, deeply astonished.

Back then, even when she was at the peak of the Spirit Meridian Stage, she hadn’t possessed this level of strength.

If he kept advancing like this, Li Xun was bound to reach the level of a Saint at the very least.

And with a bit of additional fortune… it seemed possible, even, that he could one day become a Saint King or more.

Although finding rare opportunities on his own might prove challenging, she could change that.

She remembered countless opportunities from her previous life, each of which could help him rise to greatness.

With her guidance, it would be nearly impossible for Li Xun not to soar.

Perhaps, in this life, things might turn out differently for them, no longer a story of missed chances as it had been in the past.

Boom!

In the distance, the towering man unleashed another weapon, but it shattered the moment it encountered Li Xun’s spear, unable to hold him back for even a second.

With a swift slash, Li Xun’s other hand formed two fingers into a sword, slicing through the air like a Sword, cutting the figure cleanly in half.

Black blood sprayed through the void.

The other guardian roared in fury, raising his long Sword, which blazed with thousands of rays of light.

It was as if he held a blazing sun, which he brought crashing down from above.

The light spread in all directions in an overwhelming and awe-inspiring display, resonating with deafening roars.

Golden rays surged forth like tens of thousands of dragons bridging heaven and earth, encircling Li Xun in the center, seeking to trap him and destroy him with annihilating force.

“Be careful, Young Master Li!” Qin Xueyi couldn’t maintain her calm any longer, fearing that he might be harmed.

But just as she threw her spirit stones to set up a formation, a new scene unfolded.

Boom!

In the very next moment, blood energy surged to the sky, forming a pillar of light that tore through the heavens, scattering the clouds and creating a vortex of spiritual energy that poured down around him.

As this energy flooded his body, Li Xun’s aura rose higher and higher.

With a low shout, he smashed out with his spear.

Crack!

The golden sun shattered in an instant, its radiant form splintering.

Without losing momentum, his spear crashed into the chest of his opponent.

The sickening sound of bones breaking filled the air as the figure, defenseless against this force, shot through the sky like a meteor, eventually crashing into the white hall.

The man’s body only came to a halt when it collided with a stone platform at the center of the hall.

Spear in hand, Li Xun walked into the hall, confirming that his opponent was dead before finally retracting his spear and examining the area.

Now that he was close, he could see that the stone platform in the hall’s center was actually a stone basin filled with a milky-white liquid that exuded a refreshing fragrance.

‘Could this be… the Heavenly Heart Essence?’ Li Xun’s eyes lit up.

Li Xun had read about the Heavenly Heart Essence before.

A rare heavenly treasure, this substance was crafted almost explicitly for Body Refining cultivators.

Now, a full basin sat before him.

In the outside world, its value would be no less than tens of thousands of Peak-Grade spirit stones.

Peak-Grade spirit stones weren’t just ordinary currency; a single one could be converted into billions of low-grade stones.

Even a powerful sect like the Profound Sun Sect would think twice before offering such a substantial quantity of Heavenly Heart Essence to their disciples.

‘It’s just what I need; I recently mastered the Golden Body Technique, and I’ve been lacking ingredients for a medicinal bath,’ Li Xun thought, nodding with satisfaction.

This basin alone was already worth the entire journey.

As he took in the Heavenly Heart Essence, his gaze drifted to a stone statue nearby in the hall.

It was unclear how long it had stood there, as time had eroded its features.

Even the two jade boxes in its hands were covered in dust.

Li Xun raised his hand, directing a pulse of true energy to bring both jade boxes to him.

The moment he touched the boxes, the familiar voice of his system echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Master. A purple investment target has been discovered. Invest one Profound Golden Principle Pill, and you will receive a Mid-grade Heaven sword technique: the World-Slaughtering Sword Scripture.]

‘It’s here.’ A smile appeared at the corner of Li Xun’s lips.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

Qin Xueyi had not disappointed him; the long journey had been worth it.

Not only was there a purple-level investment, but he was also about to receive a Heaven-grade Sword technique as a reward.

Although he specialized in spears, this Sword Scripture could still be highly valuable.

After all, in the current cultivation world, there were plenty of Sword-wielders who could use it.

If this technique became an investment, he could make a fortune by transcribing copies of it.

By investing this Sword Scripture multiple times, he could potentially gain access to a rare spear technique or even other coveted methods he desired.

With renewed enthusiasm, he turned to the two jade boxes before him.

“One of these should contain the Profound Golden Principle Pill,” he mused. “I wonder what’s in the other…”

Taking a deep breath, he opened the first jade box.

A powerful wave of spiritual energy burst out, filling the hall like a spiritual tide.

The air grew so dense with energy that it felt almost liquid.

“So, this is the Profound Golden Principle Pill? If someone told me this was pure concentrated spiritual energy, I’d believe it.” Li Xun’s eyes widened at the sight of the pill inside: a pale golden elixir.

Even a single breath of its fragrance made him feel on the verge of a breakthrough.

It was clear that this pill’s primary function was to enhance cultivation.

Highly sought after yet hard to obtain, such pills were valuable beyond spirit stones.

Still, to Li Xun, it wasn’t entirely indispensable.

His system could grant reliable, solid cultivation bases, which, unlike pills, were devoid of drawbacks like pill toxins.

“Young Master Li… that Profound Golden Principle Pill, could you…” Qin Xueyi, standing by the hall entrance, spoke hesitantly.

She felt uneasy.

She had guided Li Xun here, but in the earlier battle, she had contributed nothing; she had only observed.

Now, asking for the Profound Golden Principle Pill seemed almost unreasonable.

Yet, if she left empty-handed, it would mean a wasted journey.

More importantly, she urgently needed this Profound Golden Principle Pill to increase her cultivation.

Only with a breakthrough could she advance to her next opportunity—a crucial one that would alter the trajectory of her life forever.
