Death God Talisman (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

Ye Tianyi froze for a moment.

Advancing five stages doubled to ten stages; a heaven-defying talent had turned into a God-level Talent. It sounded pretty damn badass.

The reward for unlocking the First Mall had doubled, and he had unlocked a Zeroth Shop? Was doubling in their house supposed to mean zero? Still, the Zeroth-level Ultimate Hidden Shop sounded pretty badass too, like triggering an ultimate hidden quest while playing a game.

An aura erupted from Ye Tianyi's body. With ten consecutive stages of Realm Advancement, he could clearly feel his strength, spirit, physique, and every other aspect skyrocketing! Running a few hundred meters used to leave him utterly exhausted, but now he felt power brimming through his entire body!

Was this the power of the Enlightened Aperture Realm?

This was so damn exciting.

His realm was considered acceptable for his age. He could slowly improve it later. However, Ye Xian'er was only three years older than Ye Tianyi. At twenty-two, she had already reached the Profound Heaven Realm. That could no longer be called genius—it was monstrous! Qi Foundation Realm, Enlightened Aperture Realm, Body Refining Realm, Spirit Refining Realm, Profound Heaven Realm, Law Domain Realm, Domain Realm, Heavenly Venerate Realm, Saint Ruler Realm, and Heavenly Dao Realm were the realms here, while Ye Tianyi was only at the Enlightened Aperture Realm.

Ye Tianyi could not really sense or see talent. Right now, he was more concerned with this hidden shop that normally could not be opened. What good stuff could be inside?

Then Ye Tianyi took a look, and his entire body went numb.

Ye Tianyi: "..."

What the hell was this?

What the hell were These Ones?

Ye Tianyi thought the items at the beginning were pretty good, especially the various Attribute Exchanges. They were simply absurd—the higher one's realm, the more terrifying their effects would become. The earlier items were fairly normal, but what the hell were these later ones?

The Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill could save even someone about to die. The Death God Talisman was even more outrageous—write down someone's name, and they died... Holy shit...

It was just ridiculously absurd.

The most terrifying one was this Divine Punishment Heavenly Summons. It could destroy everything within a thousand li. How large was a thousand li? An entire province! Heavenly Water Holy City was huge, wasn't it? It was the main city of the Heavenly Water Empire. With Divine Punishment Heavenly Summons, Heavenly Water Holy City would instantly turn to ashes. No, absurd as it was, what would he even need that for?

But the items in this shop were truly outrageous! Ye Tianyi had gained 5.71 million Swagger Value over the course of this morning. He could use the things beneficial to him first!

The Heaven Rank Strawberry was a good item. Ye Tianyi was now at Enlightened Aperture Realm Stage Five, and this Heaven Rank Strawberry could directly let him reach the Body Refining Realm! A nineteen-year-old at the Body Refining Realm was considered qualified. There were not many such people in Heavenly Water Academy, though there were not exactly few either.

So some people might wonder: then why would a legion still recruit people, recruiting Enlightened Aperture Realm cultivators to carry out missions?

Simple—because it was too dangerous! In this era of pampered comfort, not many people were willing to place themselves in places like the Demon Beast Domain. It might normally be safe, but what if they encountered a Demon Beast they could not fight? Everyone would die! Therefore, unless it was for money, few people were willing to go.

In this era, Azure Star had several hundred empires. Most empires were at odds with one another, and war never ceased, especially in the Heavenly Water Empire. The uninhabited regions between empires, or connecting several cities within a single empire, were called Demon Beast Domains. An entire plain or forest could be filled with Demon Beasts. Demon Beasts rarely attacked the Human Race because they knew going there meant sending themselves to their deaths, but Demon Beasts often entered Human Race cities and wreaked havoc.

Some said that if the Human Race kept fighting like this, would that not benefit the Demon Race? What if they took advantage of the opening and invaded? No one listened, because power was far too tempting. Those Emperors, those people, dreamed of swallowing up other empires and making them their own territory.

Without hesitation, Ye Tianyi exchanged for a Heaven Rank Strawberry, spending two hundred thousand Swagger Value. A red fruit resembling a strawberry appeared in his hand, and he immediately swallowed it.

In an instant, the power within his body surged wildly. His aura churned and rose without end as he... reached the Body Refining Realm!

A delighted expression appeared on Ye Tianyi's face.

Cheating Life was fucking awesome!

For the time being, the only remaining thing he could use seemed to be the Cosmos Saint Art, something that could instantly turn Ye Tianyi into a medical saint! This was a permanent enhancement to himself, so Ye Tianyi would not be stingy with it. On Azure Star, there was a group of martial artists who possessed Fire Attributes and could refine pills. All kinds of medicinal pills could sell for hundreds of millions. This was absolutely a way to make money! And the Cosmos Saint Art could give Ye Tianyi all knowledge: the most precious prescriptions, the ability to identify Medicinal Material, and all those medical arts.

He used one million Swagger Value, and a flood of memories poured into Ye Tianyi's mind.

"That should be about enough!"

Ye Tianyi took a deep breath, then stripped naked and walked into the bathroom to take a shower and calm himself down.

There was also the Earth Rank Martial Skill, Fire God Tribulation, which he had not tried yet. But it was fine; there would always be a chance to test it.

After showering, Ye Tianyi hummed a song in a cheerful mood. While drying his hair, he walked out of the bathroom completely naked, preparing to change into clean clothes. The moment he came out, he saw Ye Xian'er bent over, helping him tidy up the clothes scattered across the sofa.

Hearing the door open, Ye Xian'er instinctively turned her head toward Ye Tianyi, and then...

Then, of course, it became awkward.

The votes plummeted today, waaah waaah... Did you all go celebrate Valentine's Day? Don't you want me anymore?
