Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

“Brother Li, with your talent, even Senior Brother Jian wants to build a good relationship with you. Passing the assessment should be certain for you, but for the rest of us, the situation may not be so easy.”

Watching Jian Wuchen’s figure disappear into the distance, a round-faced young man standing beside them could not help sighing with emotion. “If a person never comes to the Heavenly Sword Sect, they truly will not understand how weak they are. Among so many geniuses, ranking within the top fifty will be extremely difficult.”

Li Yun turned his gaze toward the chubby young man beside him.

Aside from Li Yun, Su Fengyan, Huang Chen, Li Hao, and the others, the envoys had also selected this rather interesting person named Qin Baoluo. It was said that Qin Baoluo possessed a rare talent in weapon refining, which made the envoys feel that he had the qualifications to become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect even if his combat strength was not particularly outstanding.

Because of this, he had also been brought here to participate in the assessment.

“Brother Qin, why look down on yourself?”

Hearing Qin Baoluo’s sigh, Li Yun smiled and said, “You think passing the assessment will be difficult, but I believe all five of us will definitely pass and enter the Outer Sect.”

“Hm?”

Qin Baoluo was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Yun with surprise and asked, “Brother Li, what do you mean by that?”

“It is very simple,” Li Yun said calmly. “First, Su Fengyan’s strength is already quite formidable, so ranking among the top fifty in this trial should not be difficult for him. As for you, Brother Qin, you possess astonishing talent in artifact refining. Unless the sect is blind, it would never eliminate someone with such a useful gift. Huang Chen possesses a powerful bloodline, while Li Hao has already reached a high level in the way of the saber. With their abilities, the sect will naturally have reasons to keep them as well.”

When Qin Baoluo and the others heard Li Yun’s words, their eyes lit up slightly, as though they had suddenly understood something.

“It really does seem that way.”

The heaviness in their hearts eased a great deal. Although the pressure of the assessment still remained, their confidence in entering the Heavenly Sword Sect had clearly increased.

Li Yun smiled and continued chatting with Su Fengyan, Huang Chen, Li Hao, Qin Baoluo, and the others for a while before finally bidding them farewell.

After that, he followed the map Jian Wuchen had given him and walked directly toward the Hall of Rare Treasures.

The Hall of Rare Treasures had three floors.

The first floor mainly contained treasures at the peak of the top grade profound rank. The prices of these treasures were not too high, and the missions related to them were not especially difficult either. However, for the geniuses participating in the assessment, treasures of this level had almost no real value, so there were very few people staying on the first floor.

The second floor mainly contained ordinary Earth Rank treasures. The difficulty of the corresponding missions had also increased by a large amount, so most of the assessment participants gathered on this floor.

Li Yun only gave the second floor a brief glance before walking straight toward the third floor.

Compared to the second floor, the third floor was much quieter. There were far fewer people here, but every item placed on this level was a low grade earth rank treasure. If one wanted to purchase them with Spirit Stones, the prices were much higher than what they would be outside. If one wanted to obtain them through missions, then the required missions were extremely difficult, and most of them demanded both strength and time. Completing even one mission would likely take at least half a month.

After looking through only a few mission descriptions, Li Yun immediately gave up on the idea of exchanging for treasures through missions.

The difficulty of the missions was not the main problem.

The real problem was that they were too time-consuming.

“Profound Earth Crystal?”

Soon, Li Yun’s gaze stopped on a yellowish-brown crystal. The crystal was about the thickness of a thumb and roughly the size of a palm. It looked plain at first glance, but the dense earth-attribute energy contained within it made Li Yun’s eyes move slightly.

This was a low grade earth rank spiritual material, the Profound Earth Crystal.

Ordinary Profound Rank spiritual materials were no longer very useful to Li Yun, but low grade earth rank spiritual materials were different. They could still greatly help him cultivate the Five Element Supreme Divine Art.

After thinking for only a moment, Li Yun reached out and picked up the Profound Earth Crystal.

“Oh, it is you?”

At that moment, a surprised voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Li Yun turned his head slightly and saw a young man in a violet robe walking over with four others. It was none other than Shen Ziyue, the genius from Azure Ridge Prefecture who had fought him earlier.

Shen Ziyue first glanced at Li Yun, then at the Profound Earth Crystal in his hand. A sneer immediately appeared on his face.

“You bumpkin from the Southern Martial Domain, is the third floor of the Hall of Rare Treasures a place someone like you can casually enter? Although you have a bit of talent and strength, you are still nothing more than a poor country bumpkin. Do you even know that the Profound Earth Crystal in your hand costs ten high-grade Spirit Stones?”

He stared at Li Yun with ridicule in his eyes and continued, “Ten high-grade Spirit Stones. Do you understand what that means? That is a huge sum you probably cannot even imagine. I suggest you put that thing down quickly and leave. This is not a place meant for people like you.”

“Exactly. Ten high-grade Spirit Stones is an amount even we would hesitate to spend, let alone someone from the Southern Martial Domain. Hurry up and stop embarrassing yourself.”

The others beside Shen Ziyue immediately burst into laughter, their voices filled with mockery.

“Idiot.”

Li Yun frowned slightly, glanced at Shen Ziyue and the others, then ignored them completely. His expression remained calm as he continued selecting items as if their words had nothing to do with him.

Soon, another item caught his attention.

Origin Water Stone.

This was a water-attribute ore that contained extremely abundant water-attribute energy. Like the Profound Earth Crystal, it was also a low grade earth rank treasure.
