'System, can we take this whole spirit vein with us?'
[Host wants to steal the high-tier spirit vein?]
'Well… I am not stealing it… I am just taking it without asking…'
[That is the definition of stealing, Host. As a fair and impartial System, I must object to your plan to steal this treasure.]
Ye Tian Yun coughed and asked, 'Everything has a price what is -'
[350,000 Kill Points.]
'Uh..what?' Ye Tian Yun asked in a confused tone.
[350,000 Kill Points to take the whole high-tier Spirit Vien]
'...'
Ye Tian Yun had a blank expression as he was speechless after hearing the shameless system prompt.
'Didn't you just object to me stealing this vein? Why are you telling me the price now?'
[System does object, however, it won't deny or hide the price if asked.]
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, 'If you did deny, you wouldn't be called Rip-off System.'
[...]
'But tell me, why is the price so high? Can't you lower it a bit? 350,000 Kill Points!? That's just too much…'
[Host, it's not much if you consider that everything around you is Spirit Water.]
'What is that supposed to me? Oh! Wait, do you mean that the Spirit Water can be converted into Kill Points!?"
[Indeed. You can collect as many Kill Points from this Spirit Water as you can - however, the gain won't be constant, and over time, the Kill Points gained every time would slowly decrease due to inflation.]
[And finally, there would come a stage where Spirit Water would be ineffective and wouldn't gain any Kill Points.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and asked, 'So, if I am successful in collecting 350,000 Kill Points, what will be I getting? Some kind of technique? Or would it be a treasure?'
[Host, you will be able to buy one of the Godly Treasure - Nine Heavens Painting.]
'A painting?' Ye Tian Yun found it quite absurd, 'What will I do with that… hang it on the wall?'
[Yes.]
'...'
[However, it wouldn't be just a simple painting - there will be a whole spiritual world within this painting!]
'A world within the painting?'
[Yes, Host. This painting is the best thing you could ask for in this situation.]
'Oh? Then, tell me about it.'
[This treasure can not only store the whole Spirit Vein, it can also help in a lot of other ways. Like converting these Spirit Water into Qi Stones. And you can even enter the painting to cultivate in the best environment possible.]
'What!? Spirit Water into Qi Stone? And I can freely enter this painting? This is too good to believe, you're not kidding me, right?'
[Host, System won't lie about items in the shop.]
'Yeah, I understand, but In other words, doesn't it mean that this painting is actually a money-printing machine?'
[Indeed, Host. You can call it this way. This painting could very well give you infinite resources one day, if you fulfill all the conditions.]
'Oh? What are these conditions?'
[Host will know about them once you have received the painting.]
'Hmm… by the way, tell me, if it gives so many benefits, doesn't that make this painting too precious? FOr such a treasure, 350,000 Kill Points seems too little, not that I want you to increase the price - but still, I am just asking.'
[Host, this treasure is indeed very precious, but is available at a low price because it also has its some drawbacks - you will know once you have received the painting.]
'Alright, let's get the painting then.'
[However, System must warn you against taking the Spirit Vein right now.]
Ye Tian Yun laughed, 'Do you think I would do something that stupid?'
'If I succeed in taking away the spirit vein after buying the painting, all the higher-ups of the Gracious Sword Sect would be standing beside me before I can even blink.'
[Indeed.]
'Yeah, after all, how do you think all these big arrays throughout the arrays are working nonstop? Of Course, there has to be a reason - a huge amount of resources - and this high tier spirit vein is the most logical answer.'
'As soon as I take away this spirit vein, all the arrays will stop at once and the whole sect will be alarmed. They will of course come here to check and assess the situation. And they will find me here - putting all the suspicion on me.'
'Even though my cultivation talent is very high, and I have a huge power behind my back, in that situation, it would mean nothing.'
[It's good you have thought this through, Host.]
'Well, I don't want to sound narcissistic, but I am indeed quite intelligent.'
[...]
'Now, let's start cultivation.'
'I have already stabilized my Sword Intent, and even received benefits way more than what I was initially expecting. This means I have completed one of the two major goals of coming here.'
'The second goal is now to increase my cultivation realm - as much as I can.'
Ye Tian Yun then took a few drops of Spirit Water in his hand and took a sniff.
Instantly a very refreshing feeling passed throughout his body - relaxing his body and mind.
'Wow, a single sniff has such an effect..' Looking around himself, Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but sigh at his luck. This encounter was going to give him the best possible boost in his cultivation.
Thus, he had to make the best use of this chance, and once begun, he had to cultivate till the very last day and focus on increasing his cultivation levels.
But there was only a slight problem -
'System, since I will be cultivating in the Spirit Water, and using the qi to increase my cultivation base, how will I get the kill points? After all, the whole qi is going to turn into my cultivation level after some time.'
'So, what will be the criteria to get the Kill Points?'
