"The sect keeps its word. From now on, you are my direct disciple.
Take this Xuanqing Sword as a gift from your master."
Though Luo Qianxue was already on the verge of collapse, as the Saintess of the Limitless Sacred Land in the Upper Realm, accepting a direct disciple and still needing a disciple-acceptance ceremony from them was unheard of. If word got out, how could she face anyone?
The die was cast, and Luo Qianxue couldn't go back on her word. However, having inexplicably gained a direct disciple, she felt a bitterness she couldn't express.
[Ding! Host has accepted the Xuanqing Sword, deducting twenty Spendthrift Points!]
[Ding! Reminder, the host is an invincible Spendthrift Tycoon. How can you take others' possessions? Return it within an hour to restore the deducted Spendthrift Points.]
As Ye Feng was admiring the Xuanqing Sword in his hand, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
Hmm?
Luo Qianxue was dumbfounded as she looked at the Xuanqing Sword that Ye Feng had returned to her.
What is going on?
This Xuanqing Sword is a seventh-grade, seventh-tier spiritual weapon, a treasure that could be the cornerstone of a third-rate sect, and you're giving it back to me?
"Master, I can't accept this Xuanqing Sword without earning it. If you insist on giving it to me, then name a price!"
Ye Feng said righteously to Luo Qianxue.
Is he a fool with too much money?
No!
Ye Feng only cared about keeping everything within the realm of spendthrift behavior. As long as he could earn Spendthrift Points, he didn't care how others viewed him. As long as the system didn't label him as a fool with too much money, all his actions were simply spendthrift behavior.
"Name a price!? Do you really think money can buy everything?
This is a token of my goodwill. If you don't want it, then forget it!"
With that, Luo Qianxue angrily put away the Xuanqing Sword and flew upwards, leaving Ye Feng and Old Bai behind.
"Old Bai, is Master a bit out of her mind, not wanting to make money?"
Watching Luo Qianxue leave in anger, Ye Feng couldn't help but complain to Old Bai.
Hehe!
However, Old Bai couldn't help but laugh at this, looking at Ye Feng with curiosity.
Why does a mortal possess such immense wealth?
Though puzzled, Old Bai was delighted to see his young lady's mindset constantly changing. If her mindset remained stagnant, it would be like a pool of dead water, making it hard to temper.
"Let's go. I'll take you back to the sect."
With that, a flying sword appeared under Old Bai's feet, and he took Ye Feng soaring into the sky, quickly heading towards the peak.
[Name: Ye Feng]
[Age: 18]
[Realm: Mortal]
[Constitution: Mortal Body]
[Martial Skills: None]
[Divine Abilities: None]
[Items: None]
[Spendthrift Points: 400]
Today's Spendthrift Items: One-grade nine-tier Heavenly Thunder Talisman * 10000
"System, isn't this world all about spiritual roots, talent, and divine bodies?
How should I use Spendthrift Points to draw, and how should I consume them to enhance my strength?"
Standing on the flying sword, protected by the spiritual power released by Old Bai, the strong wind didn't mess up Ye Feng's stylish hair. With nothing else to do, he asked the system.
By merging with the memories of this body, Ye Feng knew that on the Xuantian Continent, strength was divided into nine major realms: Spiritual Sea Realm, Qi Motion Realm, Spirit Fusion Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Divine Storage Realm, Purple Mansion Realm, Primordial Spirit Realm, Void Exploration Realm, and Tribulation-Transcending Realm. Each realm had nine levels. Now that he had Spendthrift Points, he wanted to enhance his strength. After all, having a system but remaining a mortal was quite embarrassing.
Spiritual Sea Realm: Each minor realm requires ten Spendthrift Points.
Qi Motion Realm: Each minor realm requires one hundred Spendthrift Points.
Spirit Fusion Realm: Each minor realm requires one thousand Spendthrift Points.
***
Spirit Herb Jar: Priced at one hundred Spendthrift Points, with a 90% chance to specify a one-grade spirit herb, an 80% chance to specify a two-grade spirit herb... The probabilities do not change with strength enhancement.
Spirit Ore Jar: Priced at one hundred Spendthrift Points, with a 90% chance to specify a one-grade spirit ore, an 80% chance to specify a two-grade spirit ore... The probabilities do not change with strength enhancement.
Pill Jar: Priced at one hundred Spendthrift Points, with a 90% chance to specify a one-grade pill, an 80% chance to specify a two-grade pill... The probabilities do not change with strength enhancement.
Cultivation Technique Jar, Martial Skill Jar, Formation Technique Jar, Talisman Jar...
Divine Abilities, Constitution, Spiritual Roots, etc., can be obtained with a chance while opening various jars.
After asking, although he didn't receive a direct answer from the system, a flood of unfamiliar information emerged in his mind.
"System, the Spendthrift Points needed to enhance realms are a bit excessive."
Just the Spirit Fusion Realm alone required a thousand Spendthrift Points per minor realm. He didn't dare to think about the later realms.
As for other aspects, Ye Feng was quite satisfied. Not to mention, a ninth-grade spirit herb is an invaluable treasure, and spending a hundred Spendthrift Points gives him a ten percent chance to obtain it, and it's even specified. Honestly, that's not a low probability.
"Wait, what use do I have for those top-tier ninth-grade spirit herbs, ninth-grade spirit ores, ninth-grade pills?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng realized a problem.
[Ding! Special items obtained from Spendthrift Jars are considered spendthrift behavior. The higher the grade, the more Spendthrift Points are earned.]
[Ding! Such spendthrift behavior requires a special environment. For example, squashing a ninth-grade supreme pill into mud in front of a ninth-grade alchemist is considered a successful spendthrift action.]
Damn!
Hearing the system's response, even Ye Feng couldn't help but curse. This system was utterly outrageous!
Not only would this spendthrift method drive others crazy, but it also tempted him to play with probabilities!
"Never mind, let's enhance my strength first."
Currently, Ye Feng's strength was that of a mortal. To reach the first level of the Spiritual Sea Realm and officially step into the path of cultivation, he needed ten Spendthrift Points. To directly break through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he needed ninety Spendthrift Points.
"System, consume ninety Spendthrift Points to enhance my strength to the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!"
Boom!
As Ye Feng's words fell, the surrounding spiritual energy surged instantly, then crazily rushed into his body.
"This, this guy is opening a Spiritual Sea!"
Old Bai, who was flying at high speed, also stopped, looking at Ye Feng with a face full of shock.
One minute!
Two minutes!
Three minutes!
The endless spiritual energy around continued to pour into Ye Feng's body, showing no signs of stopping, but rather growing more intense.
"This, how is this possible!"
"It's just opening a Spiritual Sea, why would it require such an enormous amount of spiritual energy? So much spiritual energy is enough to open several Spiritual Seas!"
Old Bai, beside him, was already shaken to his core. He had never seen a situation like Ye Feng's when opening a Spiritual Sea!
