Wow!

The spaceship hatch opened.

"Welcome, soldier."

A human attendant in a silver uniform was already waiting there. As Lin Yan stepped out of the hatch, the attendant greeted him with a smile, "Do you choose to retire, or do you prefer to rest at the base?"

"Rest." Lin Yan's gaze swept over the other person, and with a wave of his hand, he put the spaceship into his World Ring.

"I will lead you to the Free Soldiers' quarters. Please follow me," the waiter said with a smile.

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

In terms of treatment, free soldiers are much better off than active-duty soldiers in Barracks Base, which is especially evident in terms of accommodation.

Led by the waiter, he soon arrived at his new residence, a beautiful island in the middle of a lake.

Lin Yan glanced at it.

The island itself covers an area of approximately 1.2 square kilometers and features some ancient wooden buildings, some one- or two-story in size. Around these buildings are ancient carvings, some with a rough style and others with exquisite details, all blending together harmoniously.

"Soldier, this island is your private island. During your stay, no one else is allowed to enter the island," the waiter said.

"Okay." Lin Yan nodded.

The waiter then left.

Lin Yan walked alone on the soft sand, the artificial sun shining on him, and the lake surface shimmering. He felt a rare sense of relaxation.

"It's a great place for a vacation," he said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Having an island to myself is already the best accommodation in the Barracks Base, but it's not surprising that I earned extremely high military merits from killing the Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake, which is comparable to the initial stage of the Initial Feng Wang."

Over the years, he has killed quite a few powerful Alien Race who were granted the title of Marquis on the Yan Ji Continent, including some who were even comparable to King Rank. Naturally, the residences he was assigned were the best.

Lin Yan then went directly into his residence.

The facilities inside looked quite complete. He took a quick look around and found a hot spring with steam rising from it. Lin Yan put the Heavenly Heart Armor on his body into his body and lay lazily in the hot spring, feeling very comfortable.

"These past few years have been nothing but cultivation and fighting, I really should relax a bit." He decided to put those things aside for the time being and simply fell asleep there.

Even cultivators, whether comprehending the laws or fighting, will experience fatigue in their souls. Of course... with Lin Yan's soul, he doesn't need to consider these things; it's just a matter of "stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life."

After sleeping for only a dozen hours, he opened his eyes again, his eyes bright.

"Hmm, it's time to examine my spoils of war over the years, as well as the resources needed for the second level of the Black Hole Sacred Body."

In A World of the World Ring.

Lin Yan and the Green Line Devouring Worm both appeared there. Floating in front of Lin Yan were World Ring, which were the spoils of war he had acquired over the years by killing powerful Alien Race on the Yan Ji Continent.

He has always been wealthy and doesn't usually care much about these spoils of war. After all, his wealth is incomparable even to those Invincible Feng Wang. Some of his treasures would drive even Universe Venerable crazy. Why would he care about these King-level Immortal properties?

As a result, I haven't really studied the loot I've acquired yet.

The treasures in the World Ring are diverse, including armor, weapons, spaceships, and materials. Among them, the most precious is undoubtedly the World Ring of the Demon Race Royal Family, the "Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake."

Lin Yan picked up a World Ring and directly infused it with his mental power.

Boom!

The Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake was already dead, and the Life Imprint on the World Ring was as fragile as water without a source, instantly disintegrating as psychic power seeped into it.

Whoosh—

Lin Yan took all the items in one go, completely removed them, and transferred them to the land in front of him. The items were scattered over a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Most items are not very valuable, such as low-level Biological Spaceship.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan let out a soft exclamation.

A laser-like substance landed on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it felt as if time itself was being distorted, and one couldn't help but be immersed in it.

Lin Yan unleashed his World Power, drawing the laser-like substance towards it. A hint of surprise crossed his face. "This is... the Thousand Year Light?"

Thousand Year Light is a strange substance and a precious material for creating time-based weapons. It is usually produced occasionally in the "Black Hole Core" and can also be found in some strange Cosmic Secret Realm. It has extremely high value.

"This sliver of the Thousand Year Light is a whopping 37 centimeters long! Even if I were to exchange it in the treasure vault, it would cost me 4 billion points. As expected of the Demon Race Royal Family, they're incredibly generous." Lin Yan's face lit up with joy. "Although you died at my hands and even cursed me, I've always considered you my good brother!"

The Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake is well-versed in the Time Law, and it must have taken a great deal of effort to obtain this "Thousand Year Light".

"The Zhuo Yu Spirit Crystal is 12.9 meters long and 7.4 meters wide, and is of excellent quality."

"Three Purple Soul Fruit."

He continued to identify other treasures.

"Not bad at all," Lin Yan muttered.

This Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake is, after all, a member of the Demon Race Royal Family and a top-tier genius. Its own strength is at the Initial Feng Wang. It receives even greater support from the Demon Race. All its wealth combined amounts to more than 14 billion Hun Yuan Unit, which is beyond Lin Yan's expectations.

After spending half a day, the price of the loot was finally confirmed through the Virtual Universe Network.

"Around 17.6 billion Hun Yuan Unit," Lin Yan pondered for a moment.

At the Peak Feng Hou, a person's assets are generally at least 100 million Hun Yuan Unit. If they have good fortune, they can have even more. For example, the royal family of the Stele Spirit Dragon who followed Di Luode had assets of nearly 1 billion Hun Yuan Unit.

The only thing that surprised Lin Yan was that among the many Alien Race Immortal Army Lord he killed, one of them came from the Zerg faction, and among the items he left behind was a fragment of a great treasure, which was an unexpected surprise.

If others knew that a World Master had spent hundreds of years training in the Outer Domain Battlefield, especially spending most of his time in seclusion researching and cultivating unique skills, he was able to earn a huge sum of 17.6 billion Hun Yuan Unit, they would definitely be envious to the point of madness!

"But... it's just a drop in the ocean!" Lin Yan sighed.

The original Lin Yan was very arrogant.

Because back then... he was an evil rich man!

But things are different now.

He was very poor.

"The second level requires a staggering 97.2 billion points!" Lin Yan sighed in despair.

97.2 billion points!

I'm afraid to even tell anyone!

Even the Peak Feng Wang Expert typically have a net worth of only a few hundred billion Hun Yuan Unit.

Moreover... Lin Yan has three clones. If he were to cultivate them all, it would require nearly 300 billion points. Such high resources are simply beyond his means. As a result, the spoils of war that he used to look down on are now treasures.

After all, no matter what, even if it can't compare to the various opportunities he had in the past, it's still a considerable gain. If it can be converted into even half of his strength, that's naturally good.

"Fortunately, I had considered this beforehand... Once the 'Black Hole Sacred Body' enters the second level, I will inevitably face such financial pressure. Apart from some necessary items, I have been very restrained when purchasing or exchanging treasures. I still have some savings now," Lin Yan thought to himself.

"Unfortunately, in all these years on the Outer Domain Battlefield, I have not yet encountered a truly tempting opportunity."

He is currently at the World Lord level and has five opportunities to open the system's opportunities. However, places like the Outer Domain Battlefield are mainly for fighting and killing. Even if there are treasures, most of them already have owners and will not be displayed in the system's opportunities.

Of course... the Outer Domain Battlefield are not without opportunities. Many high-level combat zones have their own legends. If you delve deeper, you may find amazing rewards.

Take the Yan Ji Continent as an example. There is a saying about "Sacrifice Tower". So far, only a dozen or so have been discovered, and many more are still undiscovered.

Based on Luo Feng's gains in the original story, the value of the Secret Pattern Weapon is no less than that of the most ordinary treasure, and a large number of other items were sold for 560 billion Hun Yuan Unit, which is definitely an extremely significant treasure!

If it were before, when Lin Yan first arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield, he wouldn't have minded using this opportunity. After all, Lin Yan had long understood the help that abundant resources could provide. But back then, if he wanted to search the entire Yanji Yan Ji Continent at near-light speed with his spaceship, he might not have encountered such an opportunity for thousands of years if he was unlucky.

Now that he can "teleport," searching for him is much easier, but since his combat power has already surpassed that of Peak Feng Wang, he no longer values Sacrifice Tower much.

After the World Lord level, there is the Universe Venerable. It is best to be cautious about these five opportunities.

There are many legends similar to "Sacrifice Tower," and the more dangerous the battle zone, the more precious the opportunities that may exist.

The most outrageous one is the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, the "Star Tower." Even the Universe's Strongest, the "Great Axe Founder," had an almost insane desire for the Ultimate Supreme Treasure.

Lin Yan already knew the Inside story and knew that this was something he couldn't control. If he went to the Star Tower in the future, the details of the opportunity should also include words like "limited to cultivators of the Nine Tribulations Scripture". Since he had made his choice back then, he wouldn't worry about losing it.

The "Star Tower" is one of the most dangerous battle zones in the Seventh Starfield Battlefield. In addition, there are some areas where a large number of King Rank gather, and legends say that there are even treasures comparable to Supreme Treasures!

Supreme Treasure question of whether something is a supreme treasure remains to be seen, but obtaining a major treasure, or even Top-tier Supreme Treasure, is not that difficult.

All those Invincible Feng Wang Expert possess great treasures, some even more than one. Even some at the Feng Wang Limit possess them. These treasures are certainly not bought; most of them are fortuitous encounters obtained in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

This can be considered a tacit understanding among the super strong Four Great Peak Races. Only those below the Universe Venerable can enter the Outer Domain Battlefield. It's just some precious treasures... used to stimulate competition among those Feng Wang expert, and it's nothing special.

Lin Yan was quite interested in this, as he might gain a great deal. However, these dangerous places were full of powerful individuals with complex relationships. If he exposed even the slightest detail, he would encounter a large number of powerful enemies. He knew that his strength was far from sufficient.

"When I was at the Domain Lord level, I reaped a great harvest, but unfortunately, not much of it could be converted into money," Lin Yan shook his head.

To be honest, he felt lucky about his experiences when he was at the Domain Lord level.

Sacrifice Secret Pattern Inheritance Item, Mountain Sea Realm Lord's treasure, Mu Kong Fusion Crystal, True God "Origin" Blood!

Four opportunities, any one of which is more valuable than Supreme Treasure!

Lin Yan suddenly looked at the Green Line Devouring Worm. The Green Line Devouring Worm's nine pairs of golden pupils flashed with strange colors. The sharp claws on the edge of its right forelimb spread out, revealing a palm-sized green crystal with many dark green secret patterns flowing on it.

"Boom!"

This green crystal also emanated waves of incredibly strong Will Impact, as if driven mad.

Even the "Blood Luo Crystal," a product formed from the Beast God's Blood, possesses an astonishing Will Impact. How much more so the Mu Kong Fusion Crystal formed from the scales of the Innate Beast God "Qilu"?

Lin Yan recalled that when he first obtained this green crystal, even with his strong will, he still couldn't easily resist the intense Will Impact!

After breaking through to the World Master, he simply kept the Green Line Devouring Worm with him at all times, using this Will Impact to hone himself. As his mental state became more and more advanced, he no longer felt anything special when he endured this Will Impact.

Therefore... based on his understanding of the Mu Kong Fusion Crystal from his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, Lin Yan finally realized that the best use of the Mu Kong Fusion Crystal was not for enlightenment, but for fusion!

The Innate Beast God is born from the essence of the universe, and its scales, blood, and fur all possess miraculous effects!

The Beast God's Blood can enhance the Life Gene Level, and the Beast God scales... can be said to be the most important part of Innate Beast God. After all, the Beast God is the embodiment of the Fusion Law, and the patterns on the scales are the manifestation of the Law Secret Patterns. For the strong who cultivate the Path of the Beast God, it is an unparalleled Supreme Treasure!

Once integrated into the body, it has an unimaginable effect on the Green Line Devouring Worm's comprehension of the Mu Kong Fusion Law, making the Green Line Devouring Worm and the Mu Kong Fusion Law perfectly compatible!

Of course, fusing the Beast God's Blood with the scales of the Beast God is much more complicated than fusing the blood of the Beast God, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

"The Mu Kong Fusion Crystal has merged into the Green Line Devouring Worm's body. I don't yet have the ability to utilize the Primogenitor's Blood. As for the Sacrifice Secret Pattern Inheritance Item... now is not the best time to take them out. As for the Mountain Sea Realm Lord's Treasure, not to mention the Supreme Treasure, the other treasures are worth about 140 billion Hun Yuan Unit." Lin Yan pondered.

Although it is worth 140 billion Hun Yuan Unit, it includes items such as the Heavenly Heart Armor, the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom, and the Fire God Origin Crystal. It is not a big deal to sell the resources that King Zhenyu prepared for the Mountain Sea Realm lineage for the time being, but the others cannot be sold at present.

The Fire God Origin Crystal, with Self-destruct power three times that of Peak Feng Wang, is worth 12 billion. It's a life-saving trump card!

The Heavenly Heart Armor can reduce attack power by 50%, and it is still very important to Lin Yan until he obtains a better defensive treasure.

As for the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom, it is a technologically advanced weapon of unparalleled power among the Mechanical race. Bai Ze himself was barely King Rank, but as a Mechanical race, his pure combat strength was far inferior to that of Feng Wang expert. However, once he unleashed the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom, he would become extremely powerful!

In Lin Yan's mind, with the help of the Zerg King Legion, it was even possible to kill Peak Feng Wang.

For the time being, this fighting force is still of great significance to Lin Yan. It may be of great use at critical moments. He does not want to sell it. Besides... even if he wanted to, Bai Ze would not agree.

He hasn't acknowledged a master yet.

I can't very well sell the landlord's house myself.

"Besides these, disposing of King Zhenyu's other wealth will yield approximately 46 billion Hun Yuan Unit. We also obtained treasures like the 'Three Prohibitions Bolo Leaf' while searching for opportunities in the Lingdi Secret Realm, worth over 60 billion Hun Yuan Unit!" Lin Yan calculated. "Adding this 17.6 billion in spoils, the total is around 125 billion Hun Yuan Unit!"

Over the years, he has also used some of his own points, such as the "Konata Tree Spirit," a high-level plant life form that cost him over 10 billion points.

Lin Yan himself didn't use "Loch God Water" much, so he left it on Earth. However, it wasn't worth much money, and he was too lazy to calculate it.

"I have three clones, but I can only provide cultivation resources for one person," Lin Yan sighed. "Sigh, only 125 billion Hun Yuan Unit. How can I be so poor?"

"I'm very interested in money!"
