Draw! Draw!

Ten days later, in the training room of Lin Yuan's estate.

Two large boxes sat in front of Lin Yuan.

"The treasures I bought at the Nine Flames Auction have finally arrived! Whether I can get more lottery chances quickly depends on them."

Lin Yuan was thrilled. After all, it had been more than four years since he last got a chance to draw.

Lin Yuan opened the first box. Two bottles of black liquid sat in the middle, with a set of instructions beside them.

"This Black Jade Venom comes in bottles of just 50 milliliters, and a single bottle is enough to kill a World Lord?"

Lin Yuan's hand on the box grew even more cautious.

Lin Yuan remembered the Femo Venom Luo Feng had once bought. Just 100 grams of Femo Venom could kill a powerhouse at the Invincible King level, but it was outrageously expensive, selling for 300 million Hunyuan Units per gram.

Lin Yuan carefully read the instructions and learned how many times the Black Jade Venom needed to be diluted for its second use: tempering one's will.

For a Universe Level cultivator, the dilution ratio was naturally the highest. According to his calculations, these two bottles of Black Jade Venom would last Lin Yuan a long time.

Lin Yuan carefully closed the box and opened the other one.

Inside lay a crystal that shimmered with rainbow light, faintly radiating a soothing aura. There was also a set of instructions beside it.

Lin Yuan only knew that the Crystal of Viska came from Viska Star, a dangerous Cosmic Secret Realm controlled by one of the Five Great Giants. Cosmic Secret Realms like this generally concealed secrets, whether in the form of treasures or extraordinary opportunities.

The Crystal of Viska had been the final item at the auction. Lin Yuan was dissatisfied with having come away with only two bottles of Black Jade Venom, so he had decided to take one last gamble.

"I wonder what the Crystal of Viska actually does. I spent 7,000 Hunyuan Units on it!"

Lin Yuan eagerly opened the instructions.

Crystal of Viska: A rare product unique to Viska Star, a Cosmic Secret Realm. It comes from the Special Lifeform known as the Viska Peacock.

Using a Crystal of Viska temporarily grants affinity with all Lower Origin Laws. Only one crystal can be used at a time, and its effects last for three years.

Only beings with flesh-and-blood bodies can use it. Make an incision in the body, then touch the wound with the Crystal of Viska. It will automatically merge with the blood and take effect immediately.

"My god, I made the right bet!"

Lin Yuan was overcome with excitement.

"The Crystal of Viska is perfect for me! With an effect this incredible, I definitely wouldn't be able to afford it if it didn't only last three years."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Thunder Radiance Fruit that had appeared at the auction, for example, permanently increased one's affinity with the Law of Lightning Origin, so its price was naturally high.

Treasures like the Crystal of Viska were generally luxuries bought by powerful beings for their descendants and disciples, helping those with average talent comprehend the Origin Law best suited to them.

After all, increasing one's affinity with every Lower Origin Law might sound impressive, but no one was foolish enough to comprehend a large number of Lower Origin Laws at once. Not only would it waste an immense amount of time, it would do little to improve their strength.

And for a World Lord, three years was simply too short. The crystals were scarce, and their price was exorbitant. If someone planned to buy a large number of Crystals of Viska to aid their comprehension, the cost would be enough to buy a more effective treasure. It just wasn't worth it.

But Lin Yuan was different. During the three years he had increased affinity with the Origin Laws, he could comprehend several Lower Origin Laws that he had never been able to sense before. If he comprehended even a trace of one of these laws or crossed its threshold, he would gain lottery chances from the system.

"How many lottery chances will I get this time? I've got three years. I'm going all in!"

Lin Yuan swiped a finger across his arm, opening a cut. A trickle of blood ran out. He picked up the Crystal of Viska and pressed it to the wound. As soon as it touched his blood, the crystal turned into a rainbow-colored liquid and flowed into his body through the cut.

After absorbing the rainbow-colored liquid, Lin Yuan felt as if he were standing in a Law Ocean. He could sense all kinds of Lower Origin Laws with striking clarity.

"This feeling is incredible!"

Without wasting a moment, Lin Yuan left his residence and headed to the Holy Land.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yuan entered the Law Tower for the Law of Water Origin and began comprehending it.

Seven days later.

[You have comprehended a trace of the Law of Water Origin and gained one lottery chance. Draw now?]

"Draw."

[Congratulations! You have received the 24th standard reward: E9-Grade Laser Gun.]

Lin Yuan was delighted and stored the E9-Grade Laser Gun in System Space.

An E9-Grade Laser Gun cost around 5,000 Hunyuan Units. It was also a restricted item, and demand far outstripped supply.

"It only took seven days to comprehend a trace of the Law of Water Origin! I'll keep working on it and see if I can get another lottery chance. If it takes too long, I'll move on to another Origin Law."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Time was limited, so Lin Yuan devoted all his energy to comprehending the laws.

A month later, Lin Yuan could feel that his comprehension of the Law of Water Origin had improved, but he was still just short of crossing the threshold.

"No, I can't keep wasting time on the Law of Water Origin. I only get three months of access to the Law Tower each year."

Lin Yuan left the Law Tower for the Law of Water Origin and went straight to the Law Tower for the Law of Wood Origin.

Ten days later.

[You have comprehended a trace of the Law of Wood Origin and gained one lottery chance. Draw now?]

"Draw," Lin Yuan silently said.

[Congratulations! You have received the 12th standard reward: Purple Star Vein Leaf.]

"Purple Star Vein Leaf?"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed. The Purple Star Vein Leaf was extremely precious and had a remarkable effect on cultivating plant-type lifeforms. It could fetch as much as 2 million Hunyuan Units at auction. For Immortals at the Marquis or King level who wanted to cultivate plant-type lifeforms, buying this leaf as an aid was also the go-to choice.

"Now I have the capital to attend the next Intermediate Auction!"

Lin Yuan had no intention of cultivating a plant-type lifeform, so he would naturally sell the Purple Star Vein Leaf.

Lin Yuan thought it over. The auctions hosted by the Virtual Universe Company protected the privacy of their participants.

And a few million Hunyuan Units wasn't enough to put him at the same kind of risk as the Purple Fire Ape Wine had. After all, he was the disciple of a Peak Marquis powerhouse.

An ordinary Marquis Immortal was worth around 10 million Hunyuan Units. Lin Yuan guessed that his teacher, Marquis Yuankun, was probably worth over 100 million.

Lin Yuan planned to auction off the leaf at an Intermediate Auction. Four-star users could arrange for their items to be sold in the first few batches, then use the proceeds to buy whatever they needed.

Lin Yuan pressed on while he was making progress and entered the Law Tower for the Law of Wind Origin.

This time, comprehending the law was nowhere near as smooth as it had been the first two times. Lin Yuan spent thirty days comprehending it in the tower, but still failed to grasp even a trace of the Law of Wind Origin.

"Maybe I'm just naturally bad at comprehending the various Lower Origin Laws under the Law of Time Origin."

Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He continued patiently comprehending the laws.
