Lin Yan's Future Plans
The Original Secret Realm, as an ancient Cosmic Secret Realm, is incredibly vast and boundless.
On the Wu Chen Continent.
The Palace Cluster stretches as far as the eye can see, and it has been the residence of geniuses from the Original Secret Realm throughout the ages. However, in one of the palaces located in the center of Lin Yan's territory, the palace doors are tightly closed and guarded by Gate and the Guard Army.
This grand hall was extremely luxurious, but it had already been modified by the staff of the Virtual Universe Company. In the center of the main hall, there was a nutrient pool that was ten kilometers long and wide and more than one hundred meters deep.
The nutrient pool is made of transparent metal and is covered with a transparent, inverted bowl-shaped metal cover to prevent the loss of the exotic substances in the Nutrient Fluid.
At this moment, Lin Yan and his Green Line Devouring Worm Clone were in that cold, precious Nutrient Fluid, where endless special energy immediately began to penetrate their skin, muscles, internal organs, and bones, initiating a rapid transformation process.
Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain, Original Zone.
Inside Lin Yan's study at his manor.
"Wind Queen, compile a list of all the spoils I obtained in the secret realm, marking their value. I need to know exactly how much wealth I have now before considering purchasing the items I need," Lin Yan said softly, sitting at his desk.
Previously, Lin Yan had inquired whether he could obtain the permission to exchange money for points in advance.
This is a privilege that only Immortal God possess, and even members of the Original Secret Realm World Lord level cannot have it.
However, the Mu Xing Country Lord gave Lin Yan a direct affirmative answer.
As long as Lin Yan breaks through the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain and reaches the Domain Lord level, his authority will be upgraded.
Currently, only a very few people in the King level Immortal can rival Lin Yan's level of authority.
"Yes, Master," replied the chibi version of "Wind Queen" on Lin Yan's shoulder.
Instantly!
A screen quickly materialized in front of Lin Yan.
Over the years, Lin Yan has also gained many benefits during his cultivation and adventures. Although they are somewhat miscellaneous, they are all of considerable value.
Lin Yan looked calmly at the list of items displayed on the screen.
First, there's the points.
To be honest, before heading to the "Purgatory Abyss," Lin Yan had completed all other mission quotas, including two Desperate level, seven Difficult Level missions, the Immortal Altar mission, and the 11th floor of the Tongtian Bridge, earning him a considerable amount of points.
However, Lin Yan had used up almost all of his points at that time, mainly for evolving the two Plant Lifeform to the World Lord peak, and for research on the toxins of the Green Line Devouring Worm. In the end, he only had 6,000 points left.
But--
The 1 million points from the "Purgatory Abyss" mission, the 10 million points from the "Purgatory Divine Kingdom" exclusive mission, the Virtual Universe System has confirmed the mission completion and settled the rewards, plus the 3.72 million points reward for successfully passing through four levels of the Tongtian Bridge.
Lin Yan currently has a total of 14.726 million points remaining.
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "14.726 million points, sigh, that's really too little, not enough for anything."
"Master, please speak like a human being!" Wind Queen on the shoulder widened her eyes upon hearing this.
Fourteen million points is an astronomical figure for other Domain Lord level members!
It takes them thousands of years to pass even one level of the Tongtian Bridge. The highest level they can pass is eleven, and the corresponding reward is 120,000 points. The highest reward for completing Domain Lord level Highest Points Mission is two million points.
Master, please stop!
You can't beat them in poverty!
"Hmph." Lin Yan snorted and patted her little head.
I swear to God!
Am I not poor?
I'm so young and I'm already living off a teacher's money. Do you think I feel good about that?
Haha! That feels so good!
Upon thinking of this, Lin Yan immediately beamed with joy and secretly gave the Mu Xing Country Lord a thumbs up in his heart.
"Master, why are you looking at the points? Look at those things below instead. Aren't you happy?" Wind Queen pointed to the screen in front of him.
Lin Yan didn't even bother to use the dividends from Jiuzhou Company to his own account, so he naturally didn't have any money. Apart from his points, the rest were treasures he had obtained in the cultivation world, which he hadn't yet dealt with.
The "Flowing Flame Divine Envoy" Inheritance Crystal is worth 25 Billion Points, which has already been used to exchange for a psychic weapon, so there's no need to consider it further.
Two drops of Clear Soul Yuan Dew, worth 60 billion Hun Yuan Unit.
The G-class metal "Star Tear Gold" weighs 13,200 tons and is valued at 9.24 billion Hun Yuan Unit.
F9-class metal "Black Swan Pattern Mother", 42.4 billion tons, valued at 2.12 billion Hun Yuan Unit.
E9-class metal "Black Swan Pattern Gold", two hundred trillion tons, worth 100 million Hun Yuan Unit.
Three fragments of the treasure "Divine Weapon Workshop" are worth 5.21 billion Hun Yuan Unit.
There are also treasures such as "Star River Grass" and "Nine Pure Light Sand" obtained from the Mizong Galaxy mission, and some plant materials obtained from the "Ruined Ancient God Temple" mission. Although they are also quite valuable, they are far less valuable than the above. All in all, they are worth about 30 million Hun Yuan Unit.
"If I calculate it this way, after removing the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal, my wealth has actually reached 76.7 billion Hun Yuan Unit." Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Yan, you truly live up to your reputation!
Sending you my heart.
Of course, the largest proportion of these 76.7 billion is the Clear Soul Yuan Dew. Lin Yan cannot sell the Crescent Blade among the Supreme Treasure Fragment. Other items have a higher degree of freedom, but only 12.87 billion Hun Yuan Unit remain.
"What should we do?" Lin Yan asked, somewhat troubled.
Wind Queen asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong?"
They say that you gain something and you will lose something else. You've gained money, but you haven't lost your worries yet?
This isn't appropriate!
"Aside from the Clear Soul Yuan Dew and the Sharp Blade fragment, we have 12.8 billion Hun Yuan Unit available." Lin Yan shook his head and said, "This would be enough for other purposes, but it's not enough to repair the Sharp Blade fragment."
This is precisely what troubles him.
Among the fragments of the treasure "Divine Weapon Workshop," the Sharp Blade fragment are of great value because they are the core part of the treasure, so Lin Yan can repair them through the Virtual Universe Company.
Lin Yan had previously inquired with Yan Luo, the head of the acquisition department of the Original Secret Realm, and learned from him about two modification plans for the "Sharp Blade fragment".
The first method is to perform simple repairs and solidify the Law Secret Patterns, which can increase power by 50%, and the cost is 500 million Hun Yuan Unit.
The second option is to have it processed by a master craftsman specializing in crafting powerful artifacts. While this method cannot achieve the full range of benefits of a powerful artifact, its attack power can reach 30% of that of Ordinary Heavy Treasure. The cost is 18 billion Hun Yuan Unit.
Therefore, Lin Yan now has to make a choice about this.
If he wants to pursue the power of the "Sharp Blade fragment" now, he must sell a drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew, which would give Lin Yan more money in hand.
If we don't want to sell the Clear Soul Yuan Dew, the best we can do now is to perform simple repairs.
"Master, I still suggest you sell a drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew," Wind Queen said.
"Why?" Lin Yan frowned. "Actually... once I get my hands on the teacher's telekinetic weapon, I won't need this for the time being."
Wind Queen replied, "The main problem is that absorbing soul treasures of the same level is very wasteful. You have already absorbed one drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew, which increased your Soul Amplitude to 59 times, but the effect of the second drop will be much weaker, and by the third drop, the effect may not be obvious."
Lin Yan nodded slightly.
He had actually considered this issue. These soul treasures were ultimately a kind of transformation for the soul. Having already experienced it once, he would naturally need a greater stimulus to undergo another transformation.
Just like with the Nine-Colored Eye Fruit, after Lin Yan consumed it once, he never considered using his points for that purpose again, for the same reason.
The human soul has its limits; if there isn't a significant difference in level, the effectiveness of treasures will decrease over time.
But--
The Clear Soul Yuan Dew is, after all, the Clear Soul Yuan Dew. It has an effect even on Universe Venerable, so it will certainly have a good effect on Lin Yan as well.
Therefore, he hesitated about it.
"Moreover, this 'Sharp Blade fragment' can be modified to have 30% of the attack power of Ordinary Heavy Treasure. When you leave the Original Secret Realm, you may encounter some dangers. This is a key trump card!"
Wind Queen slowly said, "Besides... doesn't Master think this is very suitable for your Green Line Devouring Worm Clone?"
Lin Yan nodded, but he felt that Wind Queen's words had a hidden meaning.
Lin Yan looked at his Intelligent life form and asked, "I think there's something else you want to say?"
"Master, think about it. When you are at the Cosmic level, you go to the cultivation world to train on your own. During this period, your freedom is relatively low, and it is also very inconvenient for you to move around."
Wind Queen said, "But things are different now!"
Lin Yan's eyes lit up immediately.
He smiled and said, "I understand what you mean."
"Having these riches, I naturally want to transform them into power, and a very important part of that is cultivating Immortal level Plant Lifeform!"
"With Immortal level auxiliary Plant Lifeform, one can freely Divine Kingdom Teleportation, so there's no need to continue like this!"
Divine Kingdom Teleportation is somewhat similar to ultra-long-distance teleportation!
However, this kind of teleportation is not achieved after comprehending the Universe Law or understanding the Space Law, but rather it is a special ability inherent in the "divine kingdom" of Immortal God.
This is a power that the divine kingdom has possessed naturally since its inception.
As long as there are coordinates left somewhere else in the universe, spatial teleportation can be established instantly for a one-time teleportation. Depending on the distance, some resources will be consumed.
Of course, this cost in resources was nothing to Lin Yan.
"Yes."
Wind Queen smiled and said, "Once the Xue Qiao Clone is born, the Xue Qiao Clone can transform into the master's appearance and go to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion. As for the Green Line Devouring Worm... if it can successfully Parasitism an Immortal level possessing life form, and combined with its Law Comprehension, its strength will be absolutely formidable. It can go to some Cosmic Secret Realm to adventure and seek opportunities."
Because Wind Queen herself was one of the system's rewards, and she was the only being besides Lin Yan who knew of the system's existence.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Lin Yan to explain his ability to find opportunities.
Wind Queen tilted her head and said, "Master, don't you think the Green Line Devouring Worm is perfect for exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm?"
That's natural.
The secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company have all been fully developed, so Lin Yan mostly relies on himself. The "Mizong Galaxy" is a bit special; in that mission, Lin Yan relied entirely on the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.
Its capabilities make exploration incredibly convenient.
"That's right, you've done a great job this time!" Lin Yan smiled as he looked at Wind Queen.
It will be a long time before the Blood Hound is born. At that time, I will transform the Blood Hound into myself and come to Chaos City to cultivate. This will allow me to make perfect use of the Initial Universe Origin's manifested operation Rule and the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
The Green Line Devouring Worm ventures to explore unexplored Cosmic Secret Realm.
Even within the territory of the human race, there are plenty of suitable Cosmic Secret Realm, which can be selected within the Ganwu Universe Country or the Mu Xing Universe Country.
The Cosmic Secret Realm in the Primordial Universe vary in their level of danger and the treasures they contain. However, even the worst of the new Cosmic Secret Realm can only be explored by at least World Master.
If the Green Line Devouring Worm successfully Parasitism Immortal level possessing life form, and is then paired with some treasures, its strength will be absolutely formidable, making it perfectly capable of handling this task.
With the system's ability to create opportunities, one might be able to find some amazing treasures.
As for myself, I certainly have an even more important mission!
Strive for the future of humanity!
Enlightened by Wind Queen's words, Lin Yan felt a sudden sense of clarity. It was crucial to modify the "Sharp Blade fragment" now.
The second drop of the Clear Soul Yuan Dew is essential, but the third drop is optional.
Because he is now at 59 times the Soul Amplitude, at 20 times, Lin Yan obtained the Soul Defense secret technique "Heavenly Demon Bell", and at 40 times, he obtained the Soul Control secret technique "Heavenly Demon Gu".
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, at the 60x multiplier, he will obtain a very important Soul-type secret technique!
Illusion – The Heavenly Demon Illusion!
He obtained the "Heavenly Demon Gu" during his time in the Purgatory Divine Kingdom. It is a secret technique similar to the "Slave Soul Seal," but he hasn't had time to cultivate and learn it yet.
Lin Yan knew very well that even if he absorbed two drops, it would be impossible to reach the threshold of 80 times.
Since that's the case, why not invest in "Sharp Blade fragment" first to strengthen the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone? Perhaps the four opportunities at the Domain Lord level will bring some special surprises.
"Then it's decided." Lin Yan didn't hesitate any longer. "With the addition of a drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew, I'll have a lot of wealth at my disposal. I need to exchange for many materials and treasures to improve my strength!"
Lin Yan immediately contacted the staff of the Virtual Universe Company and sold a drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew. After verification, Lin Yan's Virtual Universe account was increased by 29.5 billion points.
Because he had high authority, the price difference between his purchase and Lin Yan's was not significant.
Lin Yan sat at his desk, rapidly clicking on the screen in front of him, where a dazzling array of treasures awaited.
Redeem "The Chaos Principle" and get the seventh volume directly!
Redeem "Black Hole Evolution", also the seventh volume!
These two sets of the most precious books in the Human Race Treasury alone are worth a whopping 2 billion points! Enough to make Lin Yan no longer need to consider this issue when he reaches the level of Universe Venerable.
Given his speed of Law Comprehension, buying five or six books would be a complete waste of points.
Exchange for some special weapons from the Mechanical race! Many of these weapons are Forbidden Item, but Lin Yan has the authority to purchase them! Although these Mechanical race weapons are expensive, they can indeed be used by the weak, allowing the user to overcome the strong.
This isn't just about thinking about myself; I also want to buy some suitable items to bring back to Earth later.
The content on the screen keeps changing.
Wind Queen jumped on his shoulder. "Master, good detection equipment is very important. We can't be stingy with points."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement. "Okay, okay."
Detection instruments are essential for dangerous places such as Cosmic Secret Realm and Outer Domain Battlefield. These places are different from the cultivation worlds controlled by Virtual Universe Company, such as the Original Secret Realm, where information gaps are very important.
He discussed with Wind Queen and directly exchanged for several sets of high-end detection instruments of varying prices!
The sheer generosity of the gesture shocked even Wind Queen.
"Master, you're really generous. The price of the detection equipment alone could bankrupt some Feng Wang Immortal God have reached the highest rank. And that's only because you have high access and can get a discount. This is still too expensive."
Lin Yan smiled, "Didn't you say you couldn't be sad about losing points?"
Wind Queen immediately said, "No, it hurts my heart."
"Stop fooling around." Lin Yan smiled. The detection equipment was very important, and he really didn't care about the cost.
It might also be related to the fact that it's a quick way to make money.
Lin Yan continued searching for detailed information on the "Tai Sui Tree Spirit" and several other Plant Lifeform that had evolved into immortality on the screen. He carefully analyzed the information and found that the value of Immortal-level Plant Lifeform was extremely high, ranging from several million points to hundreds of billions of points.
Moreover, no single solution is 100% certain.
Take the Mo Yun Vine as an example—
The 108 main vines, the Cloud Mo Yun Vine, have an 80% chance of becoming Immortal God, requiring 18.1 million points.
The 216 main vines, the Mo Yun Vine, have a 50% chance of becoming Immortal God, requiring 1.53 billion points.
The optimal strategy for the 360 main vine, the Mo Yun Vine, is to achieve a 40% chance of becoming Immortal God, which requires an investment of nearly 11.6 billion points.
These are all the best options.
It's also possible to break through to the Immortal God with even lower scores, but the probability of success will be greatly reduced, and it will depend entirely on luck.
Lin Yan's points might even be enough to cultivate Feng Wang level Plant Lifeform, but he couldn't do that. If he failed, he would suffer serious damage. Moreover, his own strength was the most important thing. It would be unwise to invest all his points in Auxiliary Life.
"The Tai Sui Tree Spirit, because it has not reached its perfect limit, has a 60% chance of becoming Immortal God. The optimal plan requires an investment of 2.16 billion points!"
"Alright." Lin Yan shook his head and smiled. "If we really reach the perfect limit, the required points would be as high as tens of billions, and who knows when that would be."
"In that case, I need to cultivate other Plant Lifeform at this stage."
Just like the Sha Luo Flower, which, by chance, reached ten times the Gene Level, now requires hundreds of billions of points to have a small chance of breaking through to the Immortal God.
Once it breaks through, the enormous divine body of the Plant Lifeform can completely suppress Feng Wang Limit.
Certainly.
Although not the perfect limit, the Tai Sui Tree Spirit is not weak.
"Once the Tai Sui Tree Spirit breaks through, it will reach the Peak Feng Hou, and due to its special physical structure, its toughness is much stronger than that of a human powerhouse at the Initial Feng Wang."
"With this kind of protection, we are much safer."
Lin Yan continued clicking on the screen, "Hmm, I also need to contact the Virtual Universe Company to build me a spaceship, using F9-class metal 'Black Swan Pattern Mother' as the material. I have plenty of that."
Wind Queen leaned closer; she was naturally very interested in these things.
"We also need to make an appointment with a human weapon-refining master who can forge powerful artifacts."
Looking at the content on the screen, Lin Yan sighed, "If my situation weren't so extraordinary, I wouldn't be qualified to have such a master craftsman take action."
Refining precious artifacts—what kind of status and position does that require?
If it were an ordinary person, even if they wanted to give money, whether the other person would pay attention to them or not would depend on their mood.
Massive amounts of points are being spent!
In the treasure vault, Lin Yan saw all sorts of secret techniques and treasures. He also searched for a secret technique that could help the Green Line Devouring Worm cultivate the "Mu Kong Fusion Law," but it was too expensive for him to afford at the moment.
However, he didn't originally have such plans for the time being. He just took the opportunity to search and saw that Lin Yan's focus at the Domain Lord level was still on the "Universe Chaos Stele" and "Black Hole Evolution".
As for the Fusion Law, he doesn't intend to expend much effort on them, at least not until he becomes World Master.
Lin Yan exchanged a large number of his points for various items, which would continuously increase Lin Yan strength and give him more ways to deal with crises.
"I actually spent so many points!" Lin Yan looked at the bill on his screen and was shocked. "This is outrageous."
"Master," Wind Queen suddenly called out to him.
"Hmm?" Lin Yan looked at the screen and responded softly.
"Master, I remember when we first met." Wind Queen's voice rang in Lin Yan's ears.
Upon hearing this...
Countless fragments of light and shadow from my memories flashed before my eyes.
Lin Yan's gaze softened as well.
Back then, I was still very young, had just broken through to the Planetary level, and was a guy with nothing but passion and a sense of mission.
Even the Superhuman Cells are still a long way from complete fusion.
Back then, he and Wind Queen would search through the ruins and waste of those ancient civilizations. Even finding the lowest-grade Energy Crystal was something to be very happy about.
And now, it seems like the time is still very close.
And it's very far away.
His simple click on the screen already involves the interests of hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit.
Those days that stirred up waves in the midst of ordinariness echoed in Lin Yan's mind.
He smiled quietly, like a spring breeze, like the bright moon.
He whispered, "I miss them so much."
