After the master of the Ganwu Country Lord left his residence, Li Jing did not rush to use the 15 opportunities to comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele that he had just obtained.

A single meditation session takes seven days, but the teacher won't need much time to go to the Human Race Treasury.

Let's wait until the teacher comes back before we talk about it!

However, we can't waste this little bit of time. The funds for the gacha pulls are ready, so we can go on another big draw.

They've completely drained the Universe Level Card Pool!

With a thought, Li Jing communicated with the Card Draw System and entered the card pool interface.

He relentlessly continued to perform wave after wave of 10 consecutive draws.

He drew out a continuous Realm-Type Experience Card Comprehension-Type Experience Card.

As for Aptitude Card and Comprehension Card, Li Jing no longer values them.

This is because his aptitude and comprehension have already reached the limit of the Universe Level Card Pool.

Adding more points only brings you infinitely closer to the next level, but you can never reach it.

Just like 0.999—an infinitely repeating decimal.

The items produced by the Universe Level Card Pool are mostly useless to Li Jing now.

The only use is to package them up and sell them later to Xue Yi the Hunyuan Unit.

The only benefit Li Jing could receive was from the extremely rare Willpower-Type Tempering Card.

His will, which had already reached the initial Marquis Level, was slowly increasing.

Li Jing's understanding of the Space-Time Origin Law also improved as he continuously added points to the secret techniques of "Universe Analysis".

This process will continue until the experience cards produced by the Universe Level Card Pool can no longer affect the increasingly profound "Universe Analysis" secret technique as skill points are allocated.

While Li Jing was using the Card Draw System to his advantage, the Ganwu Country Lord had already arrived at the Human Race Treasury located in the city lord's mansion.

Standing before the valuation point of the Human Race Treasury, the Ganwu Country Lord placed the Time Origin Dragon Pearl on a strange stone plate with immense heartache.

When powerful Human Race contribute treasures to the treasury, they are bought back at a discount based on the actual value, but when exchanging them, they are paid the full price.

The price difference between the two transactions represents the contribution of the strong to their community.

The Ganwu Country Lord is prepared to reclaim the Time Origin Dragon Pearl, even though its value has decreased by some of its Supreme Treasure Point.

However, when the assessed value appeared, even the Ganwu Country Lord was momentarily stunned.

[The core of the Time Origin Dragon Pearl, Special Lifeform with 400x genetic power and Venerable Level, is produced after the death of the Time Origin Dragon. After fusion, you can obtain the Time Origin Dragon's Time Origin Law talent. Recycling price: 3 Supreme Treasure Point]

No discount, buyback at full price!

This discovery immediately brightened the previously worried expression on the face of the Ganwu Country Lord, and at the same time, he felt a greater sense of gratitude towards the Chaos City Lord.

The treasure vault recycling system is clearly incapable of malfunctioning.

The buyback at the original price must have been orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

The only person with the authority and motivation to do so is the Chaos City Lord, the head of the Virtual Universe Company.

[Should the Time Origin Dragon Pearl be returned to the clan?]

Yes! Yes!!

The Ganwu Country Lord hurriedly confirmed, fearing that this benefit would be gone in the next second.

[Recycling successful. Your balance in the Human Race Treasury is 3.1 Supreme Treasure Point.]

Seeing his balance return to 3.1 Supreme Treasure Point, the Ganwu Country Lord bowed to the void in gratitude.

He knew that the Chaos City Lord must have some awareness of this situation.

After expressing his gratitude, the Ganwu Country Lord began searching the treasury for treasures that met Li Jing's requirements.

In the Chaos Ruins, sensing the Ganwu Country Lord bowing in gratitude to him from afar, the Chaos City Lord also wore a barely perceptible smile.

The fact that the Treasure Vault System was able to buy back the Time Origin Dragon Pearl its original price was naturally at his behest.

However, as the one who manages the Human Race Treasury and is recognized as the most impartial and objective among the masters of the Human Race Universe Master, he is also the one who manages it.

The small difference in price was naturally covered by him personally.

It wasn't easy for the Ganwu; he had been unlucky for most of his life, but finally managed to find a good apprentice.

As a powerful figure of the same era as Ganwu, he would naturally not be stingy in providing help and convenience wherever possible.

"Let's see what Ganwu is going to get for his little apprentice?"

Chaos City Lord's thoughts stirred, and then his brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't exchanged it for the top-tier soul-type Treasure that he had specially prepared and secretly lowered the price to a level that Ganwu could afford.

Instead, they exchanged it for a special, concealed Treasure.

This doesn't seem like something Ganwu like Qianwu would do on his own. Was it something Li Jing specifically requested?

Fine, I'll see this through to the end!

Although he is not a disciple of Chaos, it would be a blessing for the Human Race if he could grow up.

In an instant, the Chaos City Lord made up his mind.

The Space-Escape Silk is a special type of Treasure produced in wondrous places in the universe.

It has no secret runes or restrictions, can be used without refining, and has no special enhancements.

The only effect is to conceal one's aura and form; those below the level of Universe Master cannot detect it. The exchange price in the Treasure Vault is 2.6 Supreme Treasure Point!

This is it!

This perfectly meets my disciple's requirements. Surely the Alien Race wouldn't send the Universe Master to assassinate my disciple?

Hmm, don't waste the remaining 0.5 Supreme Treasure Point. Forget about getting high-level or top-tier Soul-type Treasure.

Exchanging for a regular soul-type Treasure and a treasure- Treasure Heavy Treasure Armor and weapon should be enough.

We'll exchange these for what we need when the disciples, who are at the World Lord Level, go out to explore.

Don't make it awkward to exchange it now and then not need it later; you might not get a full-price buyback offer next time.

Huh, the Chaos City Lord is looking for me?

The Ganwu Country Lord put away the special Treasure, the Space-Escape Silk, and casually browsed through the Treasure in the Human Race Treasury before preparing to leave. However, he suddenly received a telepathic message from the Chaos City Lord.

Filled with doubt, the Ganwu Country Lord arrived in the Chaos Ruins.

"Ganwu, your disciple Li Jing is quite good. He has the potential to reach my level in the future. Nurture him well! Take this item!"

As he spoke, the Chaos City Lord handed over a treasure that resembled a pearl.

He exchanged this for himself from the treasure vault, as a small investment on behalf of the Human Race in Li Jing, this peerless genius.

A top-tier soul-type Treasure, the Soul Silence Pearl?

The Ganwu Country Lord recognized the treasure at a glance.

There's no other reason than that he couldn't resist the urge to exchange for it when he saw it in the treasure vault earlier.

Top-tier soul-type Treasure are more valuable than ordinary Supreme Treasure Weapon and Supreme Treasure Armor.

Normally, you would need at least 5 Supreme Treasure Point to redeem it.

However, he had previously seen the price in the treasure vault at only 3 Supreme Treasure Point, which was clearly not commensurate with his net worth.

It's possible that the Chaos City Lord deliberately lowered the price, waiting for him to exchange it for Li Jing.

However, Li Jing had made other requests beforehand, and he had also suffered a loss from the Time Origin Dragon Pearl once.

Even though the Soul Silence Pearl, a top-tier soul-type Treasure, seemed like a steal, the Ganwu Country Lord reluctantly ignored it.

Instead, they obtained the special Treasure, the Space-Escape Silk, which met Li Jing's needs.

Now, after many twists and turns, this top-tier soul-type Treasure Soul Silence Pearl, has been personally bestowed upon it by the Chaos City Lord.

His apprentice is definitely being valued!

The Soul Silence Pearl alone is worth enough for him to pay off his debts.

However, he wouldn't stoop to keeping his disciple's treasure for himself. If he were that kind of person, he wouldn't have gone around using his connections to borrow Supreme Treasure Point to exchange for the Time Origin Dragon Pearl.

Besides, even if he wanted to keep it for himself, he would have to ask the Chaos City Lord for permission first.

This was specifically requested by the Chaos City Lord to be given to Li Jing!

"Since this was bestowed upon Li Jing by the clan, then I will not stand on ceremony. On behalf of Li Jing, I thank the clan for their kindness!"

Unaware that the treasure was actually paid for by the Chaos City Lord himself Ganwu Country Lord accepted it with a smile, then left the City Lord's Mansion and happily headed to Li Jing's residence.

With one unit of money, they brought back two treasures, and still had a little left to equip a decent set of Treasure at the World Lord Level.

His good-natured disciple must be overjoyed!

Oh, right, I don't know the value of this Treasure yet. I'll have to explain it to you later!
