Supreme Sword God

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Sudden Enlightenment

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Spirit Martial System, Ye Chen sat excitedly in the small courtyard!

Earlier, he felt points were hard to earn, and he was extremely poor!

However, in the blink of an eye.

He had already accumulated 5,520 points, unlocked intermediate permissions, and now had 5,420 points left!

So many!

Previously, entering from the fourth to the fifth level of the Spirit Tower required 300 points, but now it only costs 200 points. This is one of the benefits of intermediate permissions.

With intermediate permissions, one can also invite a teacher from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy to give a private lecture, although that requires points too.

Moreover, there are certain places specifically designated for training that intermediate permissions grant access to.

For example.

The Weapon Forging Secret Realm commonly used by Star Martial System disciples can enhance comprehension of martial arts. Entering once costs 500 points.

The Spirit Shadow Secret Realm commonly used by Star Spirit System disciples can be used to practice spirit seal control techniques. Entering once also costs 500 points.

With intermediate permissions, one can also purchase some profound-grade cultivation techniques at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy using points.

In summary, there are many benefits.

For Ye Chen, neither the Weapon Forging Secret Realm of the Star Martial System nor the Spirit Shadow Secret Realm of the Star Spirit System is necessary for him. After all, the Spirit Martial System has Crumbling Cliff and the Spirit Control Room, which are sufficient.

Of course, Crumbling Cliff and the Spirit Control Room also require points.

Senior Brother Yuan Polu and Senior Sister Liu Meng’Er spent most of the points they earned at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy there.

Ye Chen truly wants to enter the Pure Origin Secret Realm of the Star Martial System, but unfortunately, entering requires advanced permissions and 1,000 points.

He could enter last time because of the reward for winning first place at the Freshman Hunting Event.

Counting the points.

Ye Chen went to the Star Alchemy System!

In the Star Alchemy System, disciples from various systems can exchange points for pills.

Ye Chen now urgently needs original source replenishing pills and can go to the Star Alchemy System to exchange some.

Of course, the first person to find at the Star Alchemy System is Brother Fatty Yu Hui!

......

”Brother Ye!”

Brother Fatty seemed a bit excited, warmly inviting Ye Chen into his small courtyard.

Ye Chen stared at Brother Fatty.

After more than half a month not seeing him, Brother Fatty had lost quite a bit of weight.

Of course, the slimmer Brother Fatty was still Fatty.

Besides his physique changing a bit, Brother Fatty looked much more haggard, with sunken eyes and stubble.

”Brother Fatty, what have you been going through recently?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Brother Fatty chuckled and said, ”Brother Ye, you still don’t know? Elder Bai Mei personally taught me alchemy. I’ve been researching Elder Bai Mei’s alchemy insights lately.”

So that’s how it is.

Previously, Brother Fatty had mentioned Elder Bai Mei’s high attainment in alchemy. Brother Fatty being personally taught by Elder Bai Mei in alchemy is quite a great opportunity.

”Brother Fatty, there’s something I’d like to ask your help with.” Ye Chen said.

”Go ahead, no need to be formal between us. I’ll help with whatever I can!”

”I want to purchase some original source replenishing pills, but I’m not familiar with the Star Alchemy System, so I wanted Brother Fatty to guide me.” Ye Chen said.

”No problem, let me know which pills you want. I’ll gift them to you.” Brother Fatty replied boldly.

”Tier one to tier three, 4,000 points worth, as many as possible!” Ye Chen said. He didn’t know what original source replenishing pills were available in the Star Alchemy System and didn’t plan to distinguish them one by one, as his dormant bloodline original source wasn’t picky, as long as it replenishes it.

”What?!”

Brother Fatty’s eyes widened!

Goodness, that’s quite a request!

Tier one to tier three, a total of 4,000 points!

”Ahem, Brother Ye, tier one and tier two can be bought, but tier three pills can’t be purchased; that requires intermediate permissions. Of course, you can get a few people with intermediate permissions to help buy a small amount, there’s no problem with that, but buying too many is not allowed by the regulations of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!”

”No need to find anyone to assist, my permissions are sufficient.” Ye Chen said.

Brother Fatty’s eyes widened once more!

What a joke!

Ye Chen has intermediate permissions already?

Where did this guy get so many accumulated points?

”Brother Ye, honestly, what exactly did you do?” Brother Fatty muttered.

Then, Ye Chen briefly spoke about it.

After listening.

Brother Fatty’s eyes turned red!

Pure envy!

”Honestly, Brother Ye, I’m jealous.” Brother Fatty said, ”This time, I was schemed against by the deceitful headmaster, who made me hand over the antidote recipe for a tier five poison and only gave me 2,000 points for completing the task...”

Initially, Brother Fatty felt that 2,000 points were quite a lot.

It was difficult for newcomers who just joined the Martial Arts Academy to earn points.

But as a result... Ye Chen directly unlocked intermediate permissions, comparing to that, Brother Fatty felt pitiful.

......

Half an hour later.

Ye Chen stood in a place that specifically sells pills in the Star Alchemy System, handed his identity token to an elder, deducted 4,000 points, and acquired a large number of tier one to tier three original source replenishing pills.

Brother Fatty watched Ye Chen go about it with unwavering eyes, feeling even more envious.

Having points means having privilege.

As for why Ye Chen needed so many original source replenishing pills, Brother Fatty did not ask.

”Brother Ye, I’ve heard that in a while, those of us who have just joined Cangxing Martial Arts Academy will have to head to Demon Suppression Valley. Remember to team up with me then, so we can go fight the Demon Race and earn points.” Brother Fatty said.

Teaming up with Ye Chen, the profits are higher!

It’s necessary to give a heads-up in advance now.

Of course, teaming up with Ye Chen also comes with greater risks, Fatty is well aware of this, Ye Chen has offended too many people, once they head to the Demon Suppression Valley, trouble would abound.

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as there are points to earn!

Recently, studying Elder Bai Mei’s alchemy insights at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Fatty has been consuming a lot of spirit medicine, which has nearly exhausted the foundation he brought from home. In the future, he’ll have to rely on points to exchange for spirit medicine to continue studying alchemy.

Teaming up with Fatty is not bad either.

After all, Fatty is a Tier Three Earth Seal Spirit Master, conjuring the spirit seal with six groups of spirit patterns, and Fatty also has considerable skill in alchemy, he won’t be a burden.

”By the way, let’s call Luo Tian to team up when the time comes,” Ye Chen said.

Luo Tian is strong as well.

And he values loyalty.

Going to the Demon Suppression Valley to face the Demon Race, Ye Chen knows he can’t do it alone; if he needs partners, they naturally need to be trustworthy.

Among all the disciples in Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, there aren’t many people Ye Chen trusts.

Senior Brother Yuan Polu, Senior Sister Liu Meng’Er, then there’s Fatty and Luo Tian.

And adding Qu Xiao, who once hugged him for advantage!

As for the descendant of Dean Ouyang Shang, Ouyang Xiaoling, he’s been in contact but isn’t very familiar.

”Luo Tian... well, finding him might be another matter, that silly boy has already run off to the Demon Suppression Valley on his own,” Fatty muttered.

Ye Chen chuckled, said: ”Then let’s decide on this first, Brother Fatty, I’ll go back to cultivate now.”

......

Leaving the Star Alchemy System, returning to the residence of the Star Martial System.

Ye Chen poured all the origin-supplementing pills into a small basin.

”This is worth four thousand points, hope it helps.”

Ye Chen looked at the pills nearly filling the small basin, muttered, grabbed a handful, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Anyone witnessing this would definitely be dumbfounded.

What Qi Sea Realm martial artist takes pills like this?

Like eating snacks!

Handfuls stuffed into the mouth!

The energy contained is not only vast but extremely complex, frankly speaking, even if a Mortal Transformation Realm expert did this, they’d deserve to die.

However.

Ye Chen appeared unbothered.

As the energy from these pills dissolved in his body.

Then, a massive sucking force erupted inside him, devouring the energy.

Once Ye Chen consumed the basin of pills.

The sucking force within him finally dissipated.

Ye Chen drew the Celestial Mark Sword, slashed a cut on his arm.

However...

The mysterious warmth that used to appear whenever he was injured didn’t manifest at all.

Ye Chen frowned.

Four thousand points spent, and not even a ripple!

It seems, this dormant bloodline origin is a bottomless pit.

Ye Chen sighed.

What else can be done?

Just continue trying to gather such resources, slowly but surely, one day he’ll fill this bottomless pit...

Entering the Sword Tomb.

A bit disheartened.

Luo Qingyi knew what Ye Chen was pondering, said: ”Bloodline origin being dormant is indeed a troublesome matter, and you can’t withstand a little setback?”

Ye Chen shook his head, looked up at Luo Qingyi, said: ”Elder Qingyi, it’s not that I can’t bear it, I’m worried the bloodline origin cannot be revived, if I keep pouring resources into it, isn’t it a waste...?

Wouldn’t it be better to use these resources for cultivation or something else?”

Luo Qingyi said: ”Do you think it’s not worth expending too much effort for an uncertain goal?

Have you thought about something else?

The path of cultivation is also elusive and uncertain.

What the future holds, no one can tell.

You put in countless efforts and sweat to become stronger, yet the future you pursue is equally filled with uncertainty, is your current effort worthwhile?”

Ye Chen pondered, his gaze gradually brightened.

Luo Qingyi continued, ”If you don’t strive, failure is certain in the future, striving might also lead to failure, but at least there’s a chance for success, and having strived, even in failure, there wouldn’t be regrets!”

Ye Chen nodded solemnly, said: ”Thank you, Elder Qingyi, for your guidance. I understand now, I will continue to temper the sword body!”

Regardless of Luo Qingyi’s response, Ye Chen walked to a large tombstone, operated a cultivation technique, refining the tombstone into Sword Qi to purify the Celestial Demon’s remnant soul, using Sword Qi to temper meridians.

Luo Qingyi watched the spirited Ye Chen, couldn’t help but smile.

This kid, as stiff as a block of wood.

Though he often provokes anger.

But there are benefits.

With a simple mind.

Once a goal is set, he won’t overthink, he’ll dedicate himself entirely to the goal, pouring sweat and blood.

”Only sixteen tombstones remain in the third level of the Sword Tomb, and the three-month deal is nearly here.” Luo Qingyi softly murmured.

In the three-month agreement, if Ye Chen clears the third level of the Sword Tomb, she would have to unveil her veil...
