Tang San was a little surprised.
He was honored just like that?
Yet Yu Xiaogang continued to speak at length to himself.
"What kind of circulation routes are more conducive to improving strength, and what kinds of martial souls are best suited for cultivation in what environments."
"This book contains detailed records of all of it."
"I can't guide you personally during this period, but you absolutely cannot slack off."
This time, a delighted look appeared on Tang San's face.
With the book his godfather had given him, he would definitely be able to avoid many detours in his cultivation.
"Yes, Godfather!"
"I'll definitely cultivate diligently!"
Tang San replied respectfully.
He could never have imagined it.
The book Yu Xiaogang claimed to have researched himself had actually been copied from elsewhere for the most part.
And quite a lot of it was wrong.
This kid Tang San was probably in for some bad luck.
Meanwhile, after Ye Xian returned to the empty dormitory.
He immediately shut the doors and windows before opening the system interface.
Whoosh—!
The system screen instantly appeared, and Ye Xian directly opened the system inventory.
The screen trembled before changing its appearance.
In the first slot was the reward he had obtained from completing a previous mission.
"Spatial Storage Soul Tool."
Ye Xian read the name displayed in the first slot, then clicked to claim it.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a Spatial Storage Soul Tool. This Soul Tool can store items within one hundred cubic meters of space. The Host only needs to inject Soul Power into it to successfully bind it!
After hearing the system's explanation, Ye Xian injected Soul Power into a jet-black bracelet in his palm that emitted a faint glow.
Buzz—!
The bracelet trembled slightly, then fell still.
Binding successful.
Ye Xian immediately tested it. As long as he activated it with Soul Power, he could place anything he wanted to store into the bracelet.
"Not bad."
He nodded in satisfaction.
With this Soul Tool, quite a few things would become much more convenient.
Compared to Tang San, who had happily received a thirty-year-old belt, he had it ridiculously good.
Then, in the host information, Ye Xian discovered that after absorbing the soul ring, his Soul Power had successfully risen to level eleven.
Right afterward, Ye Xian opened the System Shop.
He still had more than four thousand System Essence.
He could choose to buy quite a few things.
But none of them were particularly cost-effective.
And four thousand System Essence was still quite far from 9,999.
Just then, Ye Xian suddenly noticed a new item in the shop that he had never seen before.
Hextech Blind Box: Price—2,000 System Essence.
There was also a note in the item description:
Hextech Blind Boxes can yield loot of five tiers: bronze, silver, gold, diamond, and epic.
The higher the loot tier, the lower the chance of obtaining it.
Seeing the note for the Hextech Blind Box, Ye Xian could not help curling his lip.
If he opened two bronze-tier rewards, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Two thousand Essence each was still too much of a gamble.
Not worth it, not worth it.
Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly spotted a line of small print beneath the note.
The first two Hextech Blind Box purchases are guaranteed to yield epic-tier loot!
Ye Xian's eyes instantly lit up.
The first two purchases, two thousand System Essence each.
Wasn't that exactly four thousand?
Thinking this, he did not hesitate and directly chose to purchase them.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully purchasing Hextech Blind Box ×2!
Looking at the few hundred System Essence he had left, Ye Xian directly opened the system inventory.
The two Hextech Blind Boxes were stored inside.
Without the slightest hesitation, he opened both at once!
Hextech Blind Box opened successfully! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining an epic-tier reward: Attribute Boost Card: Level Up! Hextech Blind Box opened successfully! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining an epic-tier reward: Shop Discount Card: High-End Shopping! Level Up: After use, the Host's cultivation speed, Soul Power advancement speed, and male performance duration will increase by 30%! Effect duration: Permanently effective!
Ye Xian's eyes instantly lit up, and he could barely suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.
This boost was simply unbeatable!
How did the system know I had loved cultivating since childhood?
Even the duration had increased.
It really understood my heart.
High-End Shopping: After use, the next ten items purchased from the System Shop will be discounted by 50%, requiring only half the System Essence!
Ye Xian nodded with a smile. This one was pretty good too.
If he bought something worth 9,999 System Essence, he would now only need to spend half that amount.
And he had a full ten purchases.
That would be enough to last him for quite a while.
With a thought, he used Attribute Boost Card: Level Up! and Shop Discount Card: High-End Shopping! at the same time.
After using them, the items in the shop that had originally cost 9,999 indeed became 4,999.5.
As for the Attribute Boost Card's effects, they could not be displayed so directly.
Ye Xian could only experience the changes to his cultivation speed and other aspects through future cultivation.
A year flew by, and all the first semester's courses came to an end.
Notting Academy thus entered its holiday break.
Ye Xian did not choose to go home. After all, there was nothing there worth missing.
But Tang San had already excitedly taken Xiao Wu back to Holy Soul Village.
Little did he know, his father had long since vanished without a trace.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was sitting blankly in his room. Xiao San had gone home, and he felt empty inside.
After spending a year together, although he did not say it aloud, his feelings for this godson had continued to deepen.
Even when Tang San left that morning, he had hesitated over whether to visit his home.
In the end, Yu Xiaogang rejected the idea.
After all, the relationship between him and Tang San was rather unusual. If he failed to explain things clearly in front of Tang San.
It would be very easy to cause a misunderstanding.
Yu Xiaogang did not have the slightest confidence in his own abilities.
Knock, knock, knock—!!
Just then, three knocks suddenly sounded at the door.
Yu Xiaogang frowned. Other than Tang San, practically no one ever came to see him.
Especially now that the academy was on break and there were hardly any people around.
"Come in."
Yu Xiaogang tidied himself up slightly, then put on an act by picking up a book and opening it.
The door opened, and a tall figure walked in from outside.
He wore a simple gray robe, with messy black hair hanging over his shoulders.
His aged face was etched with the marks of hardship, while his cloudy eyes made him seem as though he were in the twilight of his life.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that his facial features and bone structure bore some resemblance to Tang San's.
"Hello, Great Master."
The visitor's voice was low and somewhat hoarse.
For some reason, the moment this person entered, Yu Xiaogang's entire body tensed instinctively.
It was as though someone had come knocking after catching him doing something shameful.
