The Strongest Money-Spending System!

Smack!

"Chen An, there are a thousand Yuan Crystals in here—a reward from Young Master Bai. Stay farther away from Miss Shen from now on, understand?!"

A palm-sized money pouch, bulging full, landed on the ground before Chen An. Immediately after, a mocking, overbearing voice rang out.

A tall, handsome young man dressed in black brocade robes stood nearby, though an unmelting arrogance and contempt had congealed between his brows.

Three or four older students from the county academy followed behind him. Their auras were frivolous and their faces full of ridicule as they folded their arms and closed in with hostile gazes, completely blocking the path ahead.

The brocade-robed youth raised his chin, looking down from on high as though he were gazing upon an ant.

Seeing this youth who had suddenly appeared before him, putting on such an overbearing, tyrannical display, Chen An instantly felt a strong wave of disgust rise in his heart.

Who the hell are you?!

Wait, where the hell is this?!

Just as Chen An was about to snap back at the youth who had suddenly come over to show off, he abruptly realized that something about the scene before him was strange.

No, wasn't I working overtime at the company? How did I suddenly end up here?!

Rumble!!!

As Chen An was filled with doubt, a flood of memories suddenly surged into his mind and swiftly merged with his own.

Then, in a moment of daze, Chen An assimilated all those memories.

So, he had transmigrated!

The place where he now stood was no longer Earth, but a vast world called the Azure Origin Continent. In this world, the Great Luo Dynasty revered martial strength. The strong could split mountains and shatter boulders, walk through the air, while the weak could only muddle through life and suffer the bullying of others.

The Great Luo Dynasty was the undisputed ruler of humankind on the Azure Origin Continent. It dominated more than half the land, its territory stretching across countless miles, its citizens numbering in the tens of billions. Sects, prefectural institutes, and martial academies were scattered throughout every province and county, and the practice of martial arts flourished across the world.

According to the dynasty's historical records, the Azure Origin Continent had not been unified in ancient times. Human nations stood everywhere, with more than a hundred kingdoms large and small, yet conflict and war never ceased.

Until, in an age beyond measure, the Ancient Devil Race crossed over from the void beyond the heavens, tore apart the barriers of heaven and earth, and launched a massive invasion of the Azure Origin Continent.

Devil flames swept across the plains; blood blanketed the mountains and rivers!

The cruel, bloodthirsty Ancient Devil Race slaughtered all living beings. Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass remained; cities collapsed, and lives were plunged into misery.

Tens of billions of humans were slaughtered, their flesh and blood offered as sacrifice, their souls devoured. Human civilization stood on the brink of extinction, and countless ancient inheritances were severed forever.

At the critical juncture between survival and annihilation, the strongest experts of humanity rose side by side. Sect ancestors, ancient imperial forebears, and reclusive powerhouses joined forces against the devils, building a line of defense with endless blood and bones and forcibly holding back the devil calamity.

The great war dragged on for thousands upon thousands of years. Mountains and rivers shattered, the sun and moon were veiled in dust, white bones piled into mountains, and rivers ran stained with blood.

In the end, humanity paid a price so grievous it could scarcely be borne before barely stabilizing the situation. With the Heavenly Evolution Mountains, which ran from east to west across the Azure Origin Continent, as an eternal natural barrier, they drew a boundary across the land.

South of the mountains lay the fertile soil where humanity multiplied and thrived, ruled by the Great Luo Dynasty.

North of the mountains lay the boundless devil territory, thick with miasma and devilish mist that blotted out the sky. The Ancient Devil Race entrenched themselves there, eyeing humanity like tigers eyeing prey.

The two sides faced each other from afar, and slaughter between them had never ceased.

After that great catastrophe, countless human martial masters, sect ancestors, and surviving human giants formed an alliance, joining hands to pacify the chaotic age and consolidate the territories. In the end, they established the unified Great Luo Dynasty.

To eliminate future troubles, resist the devil threat along the northern frontier, and avert the danger of racial extinction, the Great Luo Dynasty began fully implementing a policy of martial cultivation for all.

Provincial academies were established across every province, martial institutes were built in every prefecture, and county academies were set up in every county. Ancient holy lands were even opened in places where mountains, rivers, and spiritual veins converged, passing down top-tier martial arts and bloodline secret techniques.

From imperial relatives and great lineages above to poor rural families below, any human descendant could enter the martial path, cultivate their body, temper their blood and qi, and hone their martial arts.

In this life, he was also called Chen An. He came from a remote little village outside Wurong County, Chengtian Prefecture, Qing Province, in the Great Luo Dynasty. His mother had died early, while his father had been an herbalist who suddenly vanished after entering the mountains three years ago. Now, he was the only one left at home.

This world revered martial strength, dividing cultivation into the Body Realm, Qi Condensation Realm, Houtian Realm, Xiantian Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Grandmaster Realm, and beyond.

Apart from that, aptitude was divided into low-grade Martial Bones, middle-grade Martial Bones, high-grade Martial Bones, earth-grade Martial Bones, and heaven-grade Martial Bones.

The grade of one's Martial Bone directly determined cultivation speed, compatibility with cultivation methods, and one's martial ceiling. It was set at birth and exceedingly difficult to change.

Chen An's Martial Bone was not ideal either. It was merely an ordinary middle-grade Martial Bone.

A middle-grade Martial Bone was mediocre aptitude not only across the entire Azure Origin Continent and the Great Luo Dynasty, but even within Wurong County.

According to the common knowledge of this world, those with low-grade Martial Bones were mostly ordinary people, trapped in the Body Realm for their entire lives and unable to enter the true gate of cultivation.

Although middle-grade Martial Bones were somewhat better than low-grade Martial Bones, their owners generally stopped at the Qi Condensation Realm.

For that very reason, even though the original owner had cultivated bitterly since childhood, spending at least ten hours every day practicing martial arts for more than a decade without fail, he had only barely broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm.

The Qi Condensation Realm had twelve levels. Only after opening all twelve principal meridians could one achieve completion. Yet after more than a decade of effort and five years of bitter cultivation at the county academy, the original owner had only just opened one principal meridian, becoming a second-level Qi Condensation Realm martial artist.

Martial artists like that were everywhere in the county academy.

For example, Bai Yifan before him had opened all twelve principal meridians. His cultivation had reached the completion of the Qi Condensation Realm, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the Houtian Realm—a formidable martial artist.

As for the Miss Shen they spoke of, her real name was Shen Qinglan. Though only eighteen years old, she was already a Houtian Realm martial expert who had surpassed the Qi Condensation Realm. Her cultivation was no weaker than that of some instructors at the county academy. Not only was she famous in Wurong County, she was also a renowned heavenly daughter of Qing Province.

The reason Bai Yifan wanted him to stay away from Shen Qinglan was that he and Shen Qinglan could be considered childhood sweethearts who had grown up together.

Shen Qinglan's father, Shen Zongyue, had suffered severe injuries while entering the mountains to hunt demonic beasts in his youth. At the time, Chen An's father, Chen Yan, happened to enter the mountains to gather herbs and saved his life. The two men thus formed a deep friendship.

It was precisely because of the debt of gratitude between their fathers that Chen An and Shen Qinglan had known each other since childhood, even frequently traveling and cultivating together.

Especially after Chen Yan vanished while gathering herbs in the mountains, Shen Zongyue not only risked his life to personally search the mountains for a month for Chen Yan's whereabouts, but after failing to find him, he had even wanted to bring Chen An into the Shen Family and raise him.

However, Chen An had not been very young at the time. Mature beyond his years, he had been unwilling to live under another's roof and politely declined Shen Zongyue's kindness.

Even so, Shen Zongyue had not abandoned him. Instead, he often sent pills, medicinal herbs, and even cultivation methods and martial techniques.

It was also because of this that he had been able to rely on his middle-grade Martial Bone aptitude to break through the Body Realm and reach the Qi Condensation Realm.

[Ding! Intense fluctuations in the host's mind detected. The Strongest Money-Spending System is activating...]

A cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

Chen An, who had only just fused with the memories and recovered his senses, stiffened slightly once more.

What?!

A system?!

My cheat has arrived?!

[Ding! Activation successful! Binding initiated!]

[Binding successful!]

[The Strongest Money-Spending System is wholeheartedly at the host's service!]

[With just one Yuan Crystal, you can exchange it for the cultivation gains the host would achieve in one year without sleep or rest.]

[One Yuan Crystal—there is no loss to buy, no deception to buy!]

[Host, please recharge quickly and experience the joy of spending money!]

"What, you think it's too little?!"

Seeing Chen Ning lower his head and stare silently at the pouch of Yuan Crystals on the ground, Bai Yifan's face flashed with a disdainful sneer.

He had investigated Chen An and understood poor boys like him best.

Without father or mother, from an impoverished lineage, with mediocre Martial Bones—if not for the resources Shen Qinglan had given him, there was no way he could have broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm with his aptitude. He would have been expelled from the county academy long ago.

In Bai Yifan's eyes, poor disciples struggling at the bottom of society all coveted wealth deep in their bones. Their horizons were narrow, their desires bottomless, and their appetites had always been enormous.

However, Bai Yifan did not care in the slightest.

A mere handful of Yuan Crystals was nothing more than a drop in the ocean to him, not worth mentioning.

If he could use these trifling material possessions to completely buy out the entanglement between Chen An and Shen Qinglan, cutting off every connection between them, then this deal would be worthwhile beyond measure.

After hearing the system's function, Chen An glanced at the pouch containing a thousand Yuan Crystals on the ground, and a gleam flashed through his eyes...
