In the guest room of the Liu Manor's separate courtyard, Su Chen was temporarily staying.
At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng was directing his disciples, followers, and servants to deliver silver taels to Su Chen.
The first batch totaled one hundred thousand taels of silver, filling dozens of large chests.
Even though the guest room Liu Zhengfeng had arranged for Su Chen was of the highest standard and quite spacious, it still felt crowded with dozens of large chests piled up.
As the last chest landed, Liu Zhengfeng waved his hand, dismissing his disciples.
"Lord Su, this is one hundred thousand taels in cash. I will gather the remaining one hundred thousand taels and deliver it to you as soon as possible."
"Mhm," Su Chen nodded lightly in response.
At this moment, his entire focus was on the silver, and he didn't want to make small talk with Liu Zhengfeng.
Fortunately, Liu Zhengfeng was also someone who understood how to read people.
"Then, Lord Su, please rest. I shall not disturb you further."
With that, Liu Zhengfeng turned and left. Su Chen and Captain Xing were the only ones left in the room.
Captain Xing knew that given Su Chen's obsession with silver, he was likely already impatient.
Therefore, he was also very understanding. After handing over the three thousand taels of silver he had promised Su Chen, he also left the room.
Now, only Su Chen and over a hundred thousand taels of silver remained in the room.
"My silver, here I come," Su Chen said with a smile, approaching the chests.
With a gentle wave of his hand, dozens of chests opened simultaneously.
Instantly, silver light shot out, filling the entire room.
Bathed in the silver light, Su Chen felt an unparalleled sense of comfort. He had never felt so good, not even when seeking companionship from a masseuse in modern society.
After a moment, Su Chen suppressed his excitement and regained his composure.
"System, recharge one hundred thousand and three thousand taels of silver."
[Ding, host recharged one hundred thousand and three thousand taels of silver, gaining Martial Arts Points: 10300. Current total Martial Arts Points: 10300]
Looking at the five-digit Martial Arts Points on the system panel, the smile on Su Chen's lips never faded.
With ten thousand and three hundred Martial Arts Points, he had never been this wealthy in his life.
With a fortune in his hands, Su Chen directly delved into the system store, embarking on a shopping spree.
There was a system space where one hundred Martial Arts Points could be exchanged for one cubic meter.
It could be used to store anything except living things, making it an essential piece of equipment for home, travel, and even robbery.
He had been coveting it for a long time but was held back by his lack of funds. The Martial Arts Points he had earned previously were all used to improve his strength, so he had never exchanged them for system space.
Now, he had no such worries.
"System, exchange for ten cubic meters of space."
[Ding, host consumed 1000 Martial Arts Points and successfully exchanged for ten cubic meters of system space]
The mechanical voice sounded, and the system space was successfully exchanged.
Su Chen rejoiced and then delved into the system space with his consciousness to explore it.
After a brief inspection, he found it to be a void with no specific shape.
Having no specific shape meant that this space would not be restricted by the shape of the items stored within it. It would automatically change its shape according to the shape of the stored items, ensuring that not a single bit of space was wasted.
Realizing this, Su Chen's mood greatly improved, and he began to test it.
He focused his gaze on the ring-pommel saber, and with a thought, the ring-pommel saber was stored within the system space.
With another thought, the ring-pommel saber reappeared in Su Chen's hand.
The action of storing and retrieving was seamless, as if it moved according to his will.
"Not bad, not bad," Su Chen muttered to himself, "Retrieving it from the system space is even faster than drawing my own saber."
"With this system space, it will be much more convenient to ambush people in the future."
Su Chen's mind conjured an image.
When fighting someone, even though his hands were empty, a saber would suddenly appear, surely giving his opponent a big surprise.
In fact, at critical moments, this ability could become the deciding factor in a battle.
Afterward, Su Chen tested the limits of the system space's functionality again.
Through testing, he arrived at a conclusion.
As long as the item was within a five-meter radius and not being controlled by anyone, he could easily store it in the system space.
This discovery filled Su Chen with even more joy.
Regardless of whether he could use the space to snatch items from opponents.
At the very least, he no longer had to worry about his saber slipping out of his hand during a fight.
After fiddling with the system space for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Su Chen finally got bored.
He stored the ring-pommel saber, the silver taels on his person, and the several secret manuals obtained from looting Tian Boguang into the System Space.
Afterward, he focused his attention on allocating Martial Arts Points.
In the past few days, he had already killed Yu Canghai, Tian Boguang, and the other three.
Tian Boguang was an unaffiliated rogue cultivator, nobody cared about him, and no one would seek revenge for him.
Yu Canghai and the other three were different.
The former hailed from the Qingcheng Sect and was the sect leader of Qingcheng Songfeng Temple.
The latter three were the Three Great Protectors of Mount Song.
Once their respective sects received the news, they would definitely dispatch experts to deal with Su Chen.
Not many people knew that he had killed Yu Canghai, so perhaps the Qingcheng Sect could be kept in the dark for a while longer.
However, the Mount Song Sect would not be able to keep it a secret.
He had publicly killed the three, Mo Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin, with his saber.
He figured Zuo Lengchan would receive this news very soon.
The retaliation from the Mount Song Sect would arrive shortly.
If it were other Protectors from Mount Song coming, Su Chen wouldn't be afraid.
But if Zuo Lengchan himself were to make a move, it would still be quite troublesome for Su Chen.
After all, Zuo Lengchan was a Grandmaster-level expert. Although he was most likely only in the early stage of Grandmaster, he was still a full major realm higher than Su Chen, so caution was necessary.
With this thought, Su Chen silently uttered, "System, allocate points. Push my cultivation to the Grandmaster realm."
[Ding, host consumed 500 Martial Arts Points. Cultivation increased to Minor Grandmaster (Late Stage)]
[Ding, host consumed 800 Martial Arts Points. Cultivation increased to Minor Grandmaster (Peak)]
[Ding, host consumed 1500 Martial Arts Points. Cultivation increased to Grandmaster (Early Stage)]
As the Martial Arts Points were injected, Su Chen's cultivation rapidly increased as if he were riding a rocket.
After consuming a total of 2,800 Martial Arts Points, his cultivation was successfully boosted to the Grandmaster realm.
At this moment, the true qi within Su Chen surged and boiled, flowing endlessly like the mighty Yangtze River.
As the true qi circulated, sounds like muffled thunder emanated from his body.
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of sharp light piercing through them, mixed with a strong sense of surprise.
"So this is the Grandmaster realm. It is indeed powerful."
Feeling the ceaseless flow of true qi within his body, Su Chen exclaimed.
Then, he suddenly struck downwards with his right hand.
An invisible palm force erupted, directly creating a palm-print indentation about a meter deep on the ground.
Staring at the palm-print indentation, Su Chen smiled silently.
"This single palm strike alone, without any other martial arts enhancement, is enough to kill someone like Yu Canghai. The Grandmaster realm is truly powerful."
"No wonder Zuo Lengchan could suppress the other four sects of the Five Great Sword Sects with his own strength."
