Abundant Rewards

For three years, Lin Yuan carefully allocated his time in the Law Tower.

Lin Yuan practiced nothing else, devoting all his energy to comprehending the Origin Laws.

Three years later, the effects of the Crystal of Viska wore off.

Lin Yuan found that the comfortable feeling in his soul vanished in an instant. His comprehension of many laws returned to the state he had been in before, when he had no talent for them at all.

He had grown somewhat addicted to the feeling of being immersed in the Law Ocean, and now he felt reluctant to let it go.

However, although his affinity for the various Lower Origin Laws had disappeared, what he had already comprehended remained firmly imprinted in his consciousness.

Lin Yuan's results were as follows: he had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws of Metal, Wood, and Water, while he had gained only a trace of insight into the Origin Laws of Wind and Thunder. As for the Law of Light Origin, he had no clue at all and had not comprehended even the slightest bit.

After receiving the Purple Star Vein Leaf as a reward, Lin Yuan had gained five more chances to draw.

From these five draws, Lin Yuan received:

Ordinary Reward No. 35: Fifth-Order Force Weapon, "Phantom Shadow Sword."

Ordinary Reward No. 33: Void Shield.

Ordinary Reward No. 18: 10% Lower Origin Law Insight.

Ordinary Reward No. 15: Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence.

Ordinary Reward No. 11: Medium Fire God Source Crystal.

In the cultivation room of Lin Yuan's estate.

Having just finished three years of comprehending the Origin Laws, Lin Yuan eagerly took out the Force Weapons and treasures stored in the System Space and carefully inspected them one by one.

For those three years, Lin Yuan had been completely focused. Whenever he received a reward from a draw, he simply stored it away without even taking a look.

Lin Yuan first took out the E9-Grade Laser Gun.

The laser gun was a full three meters long, with a muzzle about one meter in diameter. Its entire body was made of a silvery-white metal.

"This laser gun was made by the Machine Race. It only takes 0.1 seconds to charge, and a single shot can kill an ordinary World Lord. No wonder it's a restricted weapon."

"I won't sell it. I'd better keep it; I might be able to use it someday."

Lin Yuan mused to himself.

Lin Yuan put away the E9-Grade Laser Gun and took out the Void Shield and the Fifth-Order Force Weapon, "Phantom Shadow Sword."

After inspecting them, he found nothing special about either one. He had no use for them, and they were worth only a few Hunyuan Units apiece.

Lin Yuan then took out the Purple Star Vein Leaf and the Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence.

The purple leaf was about as large as Lin Yuan's palm. It faintly radiated the life aura of the pure Law of Wood Origin.

The leaf alone was worth 2 million Hunyuan Units. Raising a plant-type life-form to a higher level required an astonishing investment.

The Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence was a small bottle of purplish-red liquid. Lin Yuan had no idea what it did, so he sent his consciousness into it, and information automatically appeared in his mind.

The Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence contained pure energy that was gentle in nature. An ordinary person with no cultivation could blend it into their blood and become a Universe Level powerhouse. Its auction price was over 150,000 Hunyuan Units.

"Looks like another luxury item given by a powerhouse to a junior," Lin Yuan thought.

Only extremely wealthy powerhouses could afford to use treasures or luxury items to forcibly raise the strength of their family members or disciples.

It was even possible to use treasures to forcibly raise an ordinary person all the way to Immortality. And powerhouses who could get their hands on treasures of that caliber were usually at the Universe Venerable level.

Finally, Lin Yuan took out a fiery red crystal. It was the Medium Fire God Source Crystal from Reward No. 11.

The explosive power of an ordinary low-grade Fire God Source Crystal was equivalent to an ordinary Fire Immortal self-destructing. This Medium Fire God Source Crystal, on the other hand, could unleash an explosion equivalent to a Marquis Immortal's self-destruction.

A low-grade Fire God Source Crystal cost between 1 million and 1.5 million Hunyuan Units, while a Medium Fire God Source Crystal could fetch over 5 million Hunyuan Units.

"The Medium Fire God Source Crystal is actually worth so much more than the Purple Star Vein Leaf!"

Lin Yuan was delighted. He now had more than 7 million Hunyuan Units' worth of assets at his disposal. With those assets, he would be well prepared to attend the next Intermediate Auction.

As for the 10% Lower Origin Law Insight, Lin Yuan had no plans to claim it yet. He felt it would give him a greater boost if he saved it for later.

Lin Yuan connected to the Virtual Universe and sold the small bottle of Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence there. It sold for 130,000 Hunyuan Units.

Five days later, at the Red Flame Planet spaceport.

"The Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence has been verified. The transaction is complete."

Lin Yuan handed the Myriad Spirit Purple Blood Essence to a Domain Lord Level employee of the Virtual Universe Company who had come to collect it.

The employee boarded a spaceship, which took off and departed.

The 130,000 Hunyuan Units had arrived in his account. Lin Yuan received an email notification, and his Cosmic Galaxy Bank account was automatically upgraded to a four-star account.

At the same time, Lin Yuan was awarded Silver VIP status at the Great Axe Arena, allowing him to watch Great Axe Life-Death Battles at the Domain Lord Level for free.

Virtual Universe, Intermediate Auction Dimension.

Only users with four-star accounts or higher at either of the two major banks could enter the Intermediate Auction Dimension.

The Intermediate Auction was held once every 100 years, but staff were stationed there year-round to help users with auction-related matters.

"Hello, sir. What can I help you with?"

In a room, a staff member asked the young man before him with a smile.

"I have two items I'd like the company to help me auction."

The young man replied.

"Certainly, sir. Please fill in the information for the items you wish to consign. Items consigned to the Intermediate Auction must be worth at least 10 Hunyuan Units. Please keep that in mind."

The young man finished filling out the form. Smiling, the staff member checked the information he had entered, then froze at what he saw.

"A Purple Star Vein Leaf? A Medium Fire God Source Crystal?"

The staff member's eyes widened. He looked at the young man, then back at the information in front of him.

"Y-yes, sir. I'll process the auction consignment right away. The company will send someone to collect the items later. Please enter your address."

"Can I have the items I consign put up in the first batch of auction lots?" the young man asked.

"Of course, sir. For auction lots worth more than 100,000 Hunyuan Units, the original owner can choose which batch they go in. At every auction, some clients ask to have their lots sold first so they can use the proceeds to bid on other items."

The consignment was processed quickly, and the young man left the room.

"How can someone at the Universe Level have items worth this much? Could he be the son or disciple of some powerful Immortal?"

The staff member wondered to himself.

The young man was, of course, Lin Yuan.

At that moment, part of Lin Yuan's consciousness had just returned from the Virtual Universe.

Lin Yuan took a bottle of Black Jade Venom out of the System Space, handling it with great care. He gently let a single drop of black liquid fall into a prepared bucket-shaped container, then added the special solvent listed in the instructions to dilute it.

Even after dilution, the bucketful of liquid remained black, only slightly lighter in color than the undiluted Black Jade Venom.

Lin Yuan poured himself a cup of the diluted Black Jade Venom, tipped his head back, and drank the entire thing.
