Spending Money Yourself Feels So Good!

Unleashing His Ultimate Right in Her Face!

Jiang Li himself was quite surprised, but the words had already been spoken. All he could do was smile faintly, then turn and leave with three million in cash.

"Three months from now, he might have to pay back five million." Watching Jiang Li's retreating back, Lin Yuanliang shook his head. "Lingfei, go a little easier on him during the martial arts exam."

"If he ends up crippled, those five million will go down the drain."

Lin Lingfei shot her own brother a glance, withdrew her Talent Ability, and coolly turned to leave.

At that moment, Jiang Li, carrying three million in cash, headed straight for Beihe City's largest martial arts hall.

Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall!

"What's the strongest rank-eight cultivation art?"

Jiang Li placed the heavy cash on the counter and looked at the salesperson before him.

The salesperson, dressed in a uniform, black stockings, and high heels, immediately brightened.

Rank-eight cultivation arts cost at least a hundred thousand, while better ones could even run into the millions.

This young man had opened with such a huge question—could he be some rich second-generation heir from Beihe City?

"Hello, sir. At present, these are the two strongest rank-eight cultivation arts in our Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall."

The young saleswoman instantly beamed as she recommended two rank-eight cultivation arts to Jiang Li.

The two arts were the Heavenly River Vajra Art, worth 1.12 million and specializing in defense, and the Heavenly River Fire Burn Art, worth 1.36 million and specializing in offense.

Rank-eight cultivation arts worth over a million—these two were considered the signature offerings of Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall.

Jiang Li glanced over them, but he was not entirely satisfied. He had heard his schoolteachers mention both of these arts before.

Though powerful enough, they were clearly still inferior to the family-inherited cultivation arts practiced by geniuses such as Lin Lingfei and Luo Tianji.

"Do you have anything better? Something more difficult to cultivate is fine too," Jiang Li said after a moment of thought.

The young saleswoman froze. After thinking carefully, she concluded that Jiang Li found the two arts too expensive and was merely using that as an excuse.

What ordinary martial artist would choose a cultivation art that was difficult to cultivate? Even if it truly offered greater Blood Qi Value increases and stronger art attributes after mastery, it would consume far more time and resources. It simply was not worth it.

After all, besides cultivation arts, martial artists also needed martial techniques. What seemed like only a little extra difficulty had, in truth, caused many self-proclaimed geniuses to stumble and fall.

When choosing a cultivation art, low difficulty and fast progress were the consensus among martial artists.

"Please wait a moment. I'll check."

Since Jiang Li had brought it up, she went to look for one.

Meanwhile, in the martial arts hall lobby, a fashionably dressed girl in a white gown happened to spot Jiang Li from the corner of her eye.

"Jiang Li? Wasn't he taken away?"

The girl was Lu Wanning's best friend, Li Xiaoxiao.

She had come to buy some pills to raise her Blood Qi Value for the martial arts exam three months later, but she had never expected to see Jiang Li here.

She had heard Lu Wanning say with her own mouth that Jiang Li had been taken away for failing to repay his debts, and that he might never return.

Filled with doubt, Li Xiaoxiao stepped closer.

By then, the young saleswoman had returned.

"Hello, sir. Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall does indeed have a discounted rank-eight cultivation art called the Heavenly River Crimson Blood Art."

"It is currently priced at 890,000. Once cultivated successfully, it balances both defense and offense, and can also burst forth with Blood Qi to a certain degree. However, because it is difficult to cultivate, very few people choose it."

"You're a student, right? The martial arts exam is only three months away. I think you should still consider the previous two cultivation arts."

Jiang Li looked at the introduction to the Heavenly River Crimson Blood Art. This art had been created by the founding patriarch of Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall, and its description was explicit.

This art cultivated slowly and raised Blood Qi Value at a sluggish pace. It was better suited for actual combat and poorly suited for examinations.

If cultivated to success, it could burst forth with Blood Qi Value for a short time, increasing one's strength by ten to thirty percent.

But such bursts were not recognized in formal examinations like the martial arts exam.

Yet this was precisely the sort of art Jiang Li needed. What did he care about the martial arts exam?

What he cared about was killing exotic beasts in the future, slaying powerful enemies, and repaying the debts recorded in the Yellow Book.

And there was also Lin Lingfei's threat. He had unleashed his ultimate right in her face; that icy young miss definitely would not let him off easily during the martial arts exam.

As for difficult cultivation, it was merely a matter of spending a few extra years of lifespan. Killing a few exotic beasts would earn it back.

"I'll take this one."

With that thought, Jiang Li made his decision without hesitation.

Then he opened the bag beside him and took out eighty-nine bundles of cash.

The moment the young saleswoman saw it, she froze completely.

She had worked as a salesperson at Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall for so long, yet this was the first time she had seen such a lavish payment method.

Cash!?

Not only her—even Li Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

She covered her slightly parted mouth in shock. Every bundle of cash Jiang Li pulled out made her want to stuff it into her own pocket.

Where had Jiang Li gotten so much money!?

My God, he wasn't buying things for Lu Wanning again, was he?

That damned girl—how was her luck so good that she'd met a simp like Jiang Li?

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes brimmed with jealousy. Looking at Jiang Li, then at the few guys at school who pursued her, they were simply poor as dirt.

"By the way, do you have any Breathing Techniques here?"

After giving it some thought, Jiang Li asked again.

"Sorry, Breathing Techniques are classified as special items. Martial arts halls aren't allowed to sell them privately."

"If you wish to purchase one, you may need to pass the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall's assessment and join the hall first."

The young lady counting the money immediately put on an enthusiastic smile when she heard Jiang Li's question.

She had seen that there was still quite a lot of cash in that bag.

This was a bona fide big client!

Jiang Li nodded. The original owner's memories contained this as well: Breathing Techniques were extremely rare. Unlike cultivation techniques and martial arts, they were controlled items.

At present, only certain high schools, martial arts universities, and martial arts halls could purchase them, and all kinds of certifications and procedures were required.

There was one other place, too—the black market.

"Give me another three Ninth Grade Breakthrough Pills and twenty Ninth Grade Qi and Blood Pills."

Jiang Li took out another 130,000. Only after buying some pills did he turn and leave.

Outside the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall, Li Xiaoxiao held her phone.

"Wanning, guess who I saw? Jiang Li!"

"At the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall. He spent over a million there on cultivation techniques and pills."

Inside Seventeenth High School, in the martial arts training room.

A curvaceous young woman in a skintight black martial arts uniform held her phone, her face flushed crimson.

Her proud figure was exceptionally eye-catching, and quite a few male students stole glances at her.

"What?"

Lu Wanning, however, was overjoyed.

"Jiang Li actually came out. I can hardly believe it." Lu Wanning panted lightly after her training. "I thought he was finished."

"How did Jiang Li know I was preparing to break through to the Eighth Grade realm before the martial arts exam? Looks like he really went all out this time."

"Forget it. At worst, I'll casually have a meal with him this time."

Lu Wanning's eyes and brows were filled with delight. The thought of the cultivation techniques and pills that were about to be hers made her unable to contain her excitement.

Cultivation techniques and pills worth over a million were things that she, with her ordinary family background, had never been able to reach for.

If it hadn't been for Jiang Li over the past three years, her martial arts cultivation could never have progressed so quickly.

After ending her call with Li Xiaoxiao, Lu Wanning thought for a moment before calling Jiang Li.

Beep—

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy."

Lu Wanning's expression froze, and she could not help but feel astonished. Then, she dialed again.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached."

In Beihe City, Jiang Li deposited all his remaining money into his card and paid off every outstanding debt on the various apps on his phone.

Then he deleted all of those apps as well.

Just as he was doing so, Lu Wanning's call came in.

"Lu Wanning?"

Without a second thought, Jiang Li hung up and added her to his blacklist.

After turning off his phone, Jiang Li opened the Heavenly River Crimson Blood Art and swallowed a Ninth Grade Breakthrough Pill.

At the same time, the Yellow Book appeared before him.

Consume lifespan to cultivate Heavenly River Crimson Blood Art

With a thought, brand-new words appeared in the Yellow Book.
