A Tycoon's Life Is Not Far Away

"Is this the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon?"

Seeing the Azure Lotus in the System's warehouse, with its pale red petals, green leaves, and a straight, slightly tender green stem, Li Yu found it somewhat unbelievable.

"It looks just like a freshly picked lotus flower! Ordinary, without any divine aura, yet it's an Emperor Weapon refined from the Azure Emperor's true form?"

Li Yu sighed, not bothering to take it out for a look. It was best not to take this thing out unless absolutely necessary.

His gaze shifted away from the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon, and Li Yu looked at the heart that was still beating "thump-thump."

"Heart of the Demon Emperor."

Seeing the vitality surging within this heart, Li Yu was astonished.

"This vitality, this energy, is countless times stronger than the Crocodile Ancestor's body. This thing is another energy source for me!"

Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. With the Heart of the Demon Emperor, he could use its energy to drive other skills without consuming System energy.

The next important item was the Immortal Cauldron fragment, the Green Bronze Chunk. This thing was extraordinary in nature, but it wasn't very useful to Li Yu.

"I'll keep it for now. Opportunities for becoming immortal mean nothing to me."

Ignoring the Green Bronze Chunk, a page of golden scripture from the Dao Scripture was also of little use, so Li Yu skipped it directly.

"The remaining items are various weapons, secret treasures, and some miscellaneous items from the Azure Emperor's Tomb."

These items were numerous, especially the various utensils and sundries, which seemed to be burial objects from the Azure Emperor's Tomb. Various clothes woven from Snow Silk, various vessels made of jade, all were complete.

"Alright, at least these things are made of extraordinary materials. They can still be used after some modification."

Li Yu shook his head, disregarding these miscellaneous items.

"System, arrange the weapons and secret treasures by level."

With a "swish," the System arranged all the weapons and secret treasures according to Li Yu's request.

"Hiss! There are so many good things?"

Seeing the weapons and secret treasures arranged by the System, Li Yu couldn't help but gasp.

"There are over a dozen treasures above Saint-level? There's even a Saint King Divine Weapon? As expected of the Azure Emperor! He actually left so many good things."

Li Yu was overjoyed, grinning widely.

There were thousands of various weapons below Saint-level, which Li Yu directly ignored.

Li Yu's gaze fixed on that Saint King Divine Weapon.

It was a bronze-colored small bell, about an inch in size, with a green silk thread tied to it. The name given by the System startled Li Yu.

"Soul-Shaking Bell?"

Li Yu frowned. According to his memories from his previous life, this should be a magical artifact from a mythological story. Thinking that this world even had the Zhu Xian Four Swords, Li Yu felt relieved.

"This thing is unremarkable, yet it has extraordinary power. I can carry it with me."

Li Yu took out the Soul-Shaking Bell, tied the silk thread to his belt, and hung it on himself.

"A weapon that directly attacks the mind and spirit, and it's a Saint King-level weapon. With this in hand, as long as I don't court death myself, I basically don't have to worry about my safety."

Li Yu reached out and touched the Soul-Shaking Bell, a delighted smile appearing on his face.

"Huh? Wait. I've never lacked attack power. What I lack is defense! My own strength is too weak, I've only just opened up the Sea of Bitterness. Once my defense is not timely, a sneak attack could be fatal."

Li Yu quickly searched the Resource Library for defensive methods, only to find that most of the Azure Emperor's collection consisted of offensive weapons, with no defensive treasures.

This made Li Yu frown deeply.

"System, can the Mystic Gold Armor, refined from the Crocodile Ancestor's scales, be modified?"

The only thing he could show off was the Saint-level Mystic Gold Armor. However, this armor was too large, and Li Yu couldn't wear it at all.

"It can be modified by consuming a certain amount of energy."

"It can be modified?"

Hearing that it could be modified, Li Yu's heart leaped with joy. But soon, his face fell again.

Li Yu was currently playing the role of the Dao Ancestor! Even if the armor was modified to fit him, would the Dao Ancestor wearing armor be appropriate?

"Then, can it retain its original defensive power and be transformed into a long robe?"

Li Yu asked unyieldingly, but the System's answer surprised and delighted him.

"Yes."

"Whoa, this is possible?"

Li Yu hadn't held out much hope and had only asked out of unwillingness, but he never expected it to actually be possible. The System's power greatly surprised Li Yu.

"Modify it according to my body shape, using the style of ancient robes from the Azure Emperor's Tomb. As for the color... let's choose white. White clothes like snow, sword qi like frost. This was my fantasy from when I had my wuxia dreams!"

The System instantly completed the modification, but it consumed over eight hundred points of energy.

"Damn, that's really a bit expensive."

Li Yu's mouth twitched a few times, but he soon stopped caring.

Waving his hand, he took out the newly modified Saint-level long robe. Seeing the fine and smooth silk threads, if Li Yu hadn't known its origin, he would never have guessed it was modified from the Crocodile Ancestor's armor.

"Excellent! Excellent! Now I'm guaranteed to be safe."

Taking off his green robe and changing into this white one, Li Yu spun around in place, feeling incredibly handsome.

After admiring himself for a bit, Li Yu put the discarded green robe into the Resource Library.

Looking down at the dusty cloth boots on his feet, Li Yu pouted, "These boots are really ruining the overall image! Change them! Must change them!"

Fortunately, among the various miscellaneous items in the Azure Emperor's Tomb, there were also some exquisite boots. Although their materials were extraordinary, they were merely ordinary odds and ends, and modifying them to fit wouldn't cost much energy.

After changing his boots, Li Yu found that the belt he was wearing was too low-class. So, he took a jade belt and tied it around his waist.

With his entire outfit refreshed, Li Yu felt an extreme sense of comfort.

"Good! Good! Good! Now that I've struck it rich, of course I have to dress well! Wearing this out, who will still call me a poor loser? Who will still call me a bumpkin?"

Alright, at this moment, Li Yu revealed his true loser nature once again. It was evident how deep his past grievances ran!

Clad in an ancient and elegant white robe, fastened with a lustrous jade belt like fine mutton fat jade, a simple and refined small bell tied to his waist, and on his feet, exquisite leather boots made from milky-white scales.

"I look absolutely dashing!"

Li Yu praised himself with a few appreciative clicks, feeling very pleased. His quality of life had greatly improved! A life of luxury was no longer far off.

He stepped out of the grand hall.

Casting a glance in Zhou Yi's direction, Li Yu smiled, "That kid is fine for now. I'll let him stay here killing monsters and leveling up for the time being. This humble Daoist... oh, no. This young master will go out and explore first."

"There's a saying, isn't there? Hmm..."

"The universe is vast, and I wish to explore it!"

"Hahahaha!"

With a joyous laugh, his escaping light shot up into the sky.
