[Experience Points +2]

Standing atop the Loess Plateau, Gao Yunyi resembled an eternal, unchanging deity.

Just standing there,

It was as if the whole world revolved around him.

Experience points flooded in like a tidal wave, one after another, almost creating a screen-filling effect.

Then golden light appeared, illuminating all directions.

He's leveled up again.

But Gao Yunyi's eyes remained completely unmoved.

He's used to it.

Once you get used to something, it no longer brings any surprises.

Gao Yunyi noticed that his emotions were deteriorating.

Aside from occasional moments of self-entertainment that might cause some emotional fluctuations, his emotions have remained quite stable most of the time.

It turns out that his aloof personality was mostly caused by external factors.

But since coming into this world,

His temperament seemed to be subtly changing at a deeper level.

Gao Yunyi didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

But regarding the unknown,

He remained wary and sensitive at heart.

So he needs to do something to restore his youthful spirit and his human emotions.

At the same time, Gao Yunyi also discovered something else.

That means the experience gained from killing monsters has decreased.

Just like the settings in the game.

As your character levels up, the maximum experience gained will gradually decrease.

The greater the difference in level between the two, the less experience points you will gain, until you gain absolutely no experience points.

Ordinary people are practically gray-named monsters in his eyes; only those with high status or strength can give him normal experience points.

He's only at the Foundation Establishment Realm now. What will happen when he breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, or Spirit Transformation stage?

Does this mean he can no longer level up by grinding monsters or completing quests in this world, and can only gain a little experience through Meditative Samadhi?

If one is merely an ordinary person with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, these concerns are nothing but needless worry and unnecessary trouble.

But he is a cultivator, and possibly an immortal cultivator.

These are the dilemmas that will directly confront him in the near future.

When his feelings have completely deteriorated...

But they will never grow old, nor will they die.

So what is he?

Is it a barren rock standing on the mountain, or an ancient tree lying underground?

Is this the price of cultivating immortality, the destiny of cultivators?

Thinking about this,

Gao Yunyi's mood suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Holy crap!!

Am I overthinking this?

My mind has wandered off into outer space, I need to bring it back.

When did I learn to be sentimental and far-sighted?

I'm just a 25-year-old young man, a real gem.

Not enjoying the present moment

Why worry so much about the future?

They're just being silly.

Pulled back to reality, Gao Yunyi opened his backpack.

The spoils are plentiful.

No one knows how many people that sword killed.

The equipment and materials almost filled my backpack again.

Fortunately, after reaching level 20, two more rows of slots in my inventory were automatically unlocked, otherwise I would have almost wasted a lot of good items.

Therefore, the gold and silver treasures collected from the Kunlun Mountain temple became a great eyesore.

These immense riches, though valuable, are utterly insignificant compared to the items rewarded by the system.

Then, to the astonishment of the three brothers from the Pacification Investigation Office,

The Immortal instantly transformed into the God of Wealth.

Gold and silver treasures were thrown out like worthless trash.

A moment later,

A small mountain made of countless gold and silver treasures gleamed alluringly in the sunlight.

And looking at the backpack, which has one less compartment,

Gao Yunyi finally smiled with satisfaction.

And there were still four full rows of compartments in his backpack containing these gold and silver treasures.

He didn't have the chance before.

And now he can finally utter that famous quote with righteous indignation.

"I don't like money. To me, money is just a string of numbers. I have no interest in money whatsoever."

You know what,

That was awesome!

"Big brother... what does the Immortal mean by this? Does he intend to crush us with this mountain of gold and silver?"

Jin Yichuan looked at the mountains of gold and silver gleaming in the sunlight, his Adam's apple bobbing as he lowered his voice.

He desperately needed the money.

With a seriously ill junior sister at home to support, it's hard not to lose control when faced with such a mountain of gold and silver.

"Shut up. The actions of Immortals are unfathomable. Don't speculate or overthink."

Lu Jianxing, who had not died but had even improved, shouted sternly.

The peerless immortal Immortal Sword that had just struck them did not kill the three brothers; instead, it flew off into the northwest.

That direction,

This is the location of Zhenning City.

Therefore, the one whom the Immortal Sword wants to kill is not them, but the Prince Ning launched a rebellion in Zhenning City.

As expected of Immortal.

Punish the tyrannical and punish the rebellious, act on behalf of Heaven, uphold justice, and save the people from suffering.

Look at the terrifying power and aura emanating from that Immortal Sword,

Presumably now,

Prince Ning has already been executed, hasn't he?

And whether it was his imagination or not, he seemed to see a layer of blood-red Sha Qi suddenly surrounding the Immortal.

Under the sunlight, it exudes a cold and eerie atmosphere.

But his own foolish younger brother was still coveting the Immortal's treasure; he was truly utterly idiotic and beyond redemption.

Lu Jianxing now regrets becoming sworn brothers with him.

I have a feeling that one day I'll be dragged down by this idiot and die.

Damn,

Who invented this stupid vow that says, "We don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month, but we ask to die on the same day of the same month"?

Of the three brothers of the Pacification Investigation Office,

Only Shen Lian remained kneeling on the ground with his head down the entire time, without uttering a single word.

After throwing away some useless trash,

Gao Yunyi began to take stock of the spoils in his backpack.

Besides mostly level 1 manufacturing equipment and materials for refining Pills, a considerable number of Level Two materials and blueprints also dropped.

Level Two materials can be used to refine level 20 equipment and Pill.

Very good,

Very nice.

He finally has a solution for his level 20 equipment and Pill.

It seems I need to find a quiet place to forge equipment and Pill first, and then go to the Capital to give those mortals a little shock.

After classifying and planning all the reinforcement pad equipment and the blueprints for the materials used,

Gao Yunyi slowly turned around.

He didn't even glance at the pile of gold and silver treasures that glittered in the sunlight.

This also included the three brothers of the Pacification Investigation Office, who were kneeling not far away.

"Go back and tell your emperor to wait; I will arrive in the Capital in five days."

After saying that sentence in a calm tone,

A miniature version of the Purple-Light Thunder Immortal Sword appeared beneath Gao Yunyi's feet, then carried him into the sky, disappearing into the boundless firmament in the blink of an eye.

After quite a while,

The three brothers from the Pacification Investigation Office then stood up from the ground, trembling.

Watching the Immortal figure disappear into the sky, and seeing the mountain of gold and silver treasures piled up before him,

The three brothers from the Pacification Investigation Office were at a loss for what to do.

"Gulp... Big brother, second brother, why don't we divide these things up? Anyway, no one else around saw us."

Jin Yichuan licked his chapped lips, his eyes shining.

"Shut up, if you want to die, don't drag the two of us down with you."

Lu Jianxing clutched his injured chest while glaring fiercely at the other person.

Then, Shen Lian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"These treasures must have been left by Immortals to settle the refugees of Ji Province."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianxing's eyes lit up immediately.

"Second brother is right. We can't take a single piece of gold or silver from these things. We must hand them all over to the imperial court. Second brother, give the signal."

Upon hearing this,

Shen Lian nodded.

He immediately pulled out a special cannon belonging to the Pacification Investigation Office from his pocket.

Immediately,

A dazzling firework suddenly exploded in the sky above the Loess Plateau.
