Ye Fan had already sorted out his cultivation plans for the days ahead.
His first goal was to achieve an excellent result in the Citywide Joint Examination in June.
So while improving his strength in the Martial Way, he also needed to buckle down on his academic classes.
After all,
over the past half year, he had thrown himself heart and soul into Jiangnan Martial University's trial camp.
He hoped to take the special recruitment route and enter Jiangnan Province's highest Martial Way institution—Jiangnan Martial University.
Who would have thought that he would be driven out instead?
Still, it could be considered a blessing in disguise. He had activated his Sign-in Epiphany System.
It gave his future in the Martial Way limitless possibilities!
At the same time, he needed to spend money to raise his Vitality Value as much as possible.
He also needed to cultivate the Void Spirit Refining Technique and enhance his Mental Power.
That was a task requiring slow, patient effort.
As for martial techniques, Martial Arts Mastery, even Spear Intent, Dao Seeds, and the like—
those were the most ethereal and elusive aspects for ordinary Martial Warriors, the hardest to grasp.
Yet for Ye Fan, they happened to be the easiest things to achieve.
Therefore, what Ye Fan urgently needed to resolve now was the improvement of his Vitality Value.
After all, Vitality Value represented speed and strength.
If the gap in Vitality Value was too great, then no matter how high one's Martial Arts Mastery or martial technique proficiency was, it would be like a tower built in the air or flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon in water—all illusion.
"The first plan: use flesh and blood from precious medicines to increase your Vitality Value. This plan can rapidly raise vitality while satisfying a Martial Warrior's appetite.
"The drawback is that it requires the flesh of high-tier exotic beasts and precious medicines. The cost is relatively high.
"Recommended: flesh from Peak Tier 1, or even Tier 2 Ironhide Blood Rhinos, as well as Blood Spirit Ginseng."
"The second plan: use genetic potions developed by Huaxia technology to raise a Martial Warrior's vitality. The advantage of this plan is its relatively high cost-effectiveness.
"The drawback is that potions which stimulate the body and raise vitality generally come with a certain amount of pain. The Martial Warrior needs strong willpower.
"Recommended: Foundation Strengthening No. 1, produced by Qiangsheng Technology."
“The third plan is pills, medicinal fluids, and the like, refined by certain Martial Way powerhouses to increase vitality. The advantage of this plan is that it is highly targeted and remarkably effective.
"The drawback is that demand exceeds supply. Stable provision cannot be guaranteed.
"Recommended: Marrow Cleansing Liquid and Bone Strengthening and Body Building Paste."
The intellectual Mature Sister AI in a cheongsam swiftly searched for and devised three vitality-boosting plans for Ye Fan.
"Of course, Lord Ye Fan can also cultivate body-strengthening methods. Those can raise vitality as well."
She adjusted her half-rim glasses and reminded him gently as she looked at Ye Fan.
Hearing that, Ye Fan nodded.
He was very satisfied.
After all, all three plans provided by the Mature Sister AI were viable.
Moreover, she had separately pointed out their advantages and drawbacks.
After pondering for a few seconds, Ye Fan decided to adopt the first and second plans.
After all,
the third plan could not provide a stable supply.
As for spending money, he was not afraid.
Because money and Martial Hall Points could only display their value when used to improve one's strength.
Furthermore, after everything he had experienced, Ye Fan had come to see things openly.
In the High Martial World, the Martial Way reigned supreme.
Only by improving his own strength could he obtain better resources.
Soon, Ye Fan withdrew from the virtual network space.
He noticed a message displayed on his Martial Artist Watch:
Your bank card ending in 9527 has received a transfer of 89,836 Huaxia Coins from the Starry Sky Combat Network. The tax portion has already been paid on your behalf by the Starry Sky Combat Network.
He had advanced to Gold Tier in the Starry Sky Combat Network's Combat Trial Channel.
In total, he had received a prize of one hundred thousand Huaxia Coins.
However, he needed to pay taxes to Huaxia on this income.
Ye Fan took it well and felt there was nothing wrong with that.
After all, the development of much of Huaxia's technology and the defense of its cities against exotic beasts required vast amounts of money.
Without dwelling on it,
Ye Fan opened the Star Martial Hall marketplace page through his Martial Artist Watch.
Peak Tier 1 Ironhide Blood Rhino meat: 8,000 Huaxia Coins (Martial Hall Points) per pound.
Note: Cooked and separately packaged portions available, ready to eat upon opening. An additional 500 Huaxia Coins per pound.
Flavors available: cumin, spicy, Orleans...
Foundation Strengthening No. 1, manufactured by Qiangsheng Technology: 5,000 Huaxia Coins (Martial Hall Points) per dose.
Note: Spirit Stream Realm cultivator tolerance: 30 doses per month.
Having obtained the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body, Ye Fan had a huge appetite.
He estimated that he needed at least ten pounds of Ironhide Blood Rhino meat every day.
Furthermore, processing and cooking exotic beast meat was much harder than handling ordinary meat.
He also intended to have it cooked and delivered directly.
Thus, Ye Fan directly ordered a month's supply: three hundred pounds of Ironhide Blood Rhino meat, costing 2,550,000 in total.
Besides that,
Ye Fan also ordered sixty doses of Foundation Strengthening No. 1.
The tolerance limit for an ordinary Spirit Stream Realm Martial Warrior was thirty doses per month, but he intended to challenge twice that dosage.
Father often warned him: if you wanted glory before others, you had to suffer behind their backs.
Therefore, in pursuing the Martial Way,
Ye Fan was often regarded by Zhou Liang and the others as a grind king, a madman...
Ordering Foundation Strengthening No. 1 cost another 300,000.
That was to say, Ye Fan had spent a total of 2.85 million on treasures and potions to increase his vitality for one month!
Sure enough, the Martial Way was a bottomless money pit!
For an ordinary family, that was absolutely an astronomical figure.
And for the former Ye Fan, it had been almost unimaginable as well.
However, although his heart ached, Ye Fan's resolve was incomparably firm.
Because it was already close to the end of May, and there was only a little over a month until July's Martial Unification College Entrance Examination.
Therefore, he spared no expense in raising his strength.
Besides, he still had a trump card.
That was the Dao Seed.
If he reported it directly to the Star Martial Hall, perhaps he could advance to an S-Rank Cultivation Contract.
However, he had not done so immediately.
After all, the rate at which his strength had risen these past few days was already somewhat terrifying.
If he unlocked the Dao Seed too, wouldn't people capture him and slice him up for research?
Keep a low profile.
Grow in obscurity, don't get cocky.
In addition, Ye Fan also purchased some medicinal fluid to strengthen the foundation and consolidate the base for Younger Sister Ye Ling.
All told, he had directly spent more than 2.9 million today.
When Ye Fan walked out of the Underground Martial Arts Room,
Ye Ling, who had long been waiting as eagerly as one awaiting the stars and moon, hurried over to greet him.
"Brother, I've already finished my homework. You can teach me martial arts now, right..."
