Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”I am almost at my limit.”

After climbing another two hundred meters, Li Yun’s brows could not help furrowing.

Reaching this height was almost his limit.

The powerful repulsive force around him surged constantly like a tide. Even standing still was extremely difficult, let alone continuing to climb higher.

”It seems those flowers at the very top are not meant for us.”

Almost at the same moment, Man Cang stopped at the same height as Li Yun. He looked toward the top of the vine and shook his head with regret.

From where they stood, there was still a distance of at least five or six thousand meters to the top of the vine. Such a vast distance could not be overcome by willpower alone.

”That might not be the case.”

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Li Yun’s face.

With a wave of his hand, the sword immortal puppet appeared beside him.

”A distance of more than five thousand meters. Thirty breaths should be enough for a round trip. I hope the flower at the very top does not disappoint me.”

With a thought, Li Yun took out the Origin Crystal he had just obtained and placed it into the sword immortal puppet’s power source.

Instantly, the sword immortal puppet’s entire body radiated the aura of a 9th level Heavenly Core Realm expert.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the next moment, the sword immortal puppet did not delay for even a second. Its speed was like lightning as it swept toward the top of the Thousand Star Vine.

Along the way, even when it passed other flowers, the sword immortal puppet ignored them all. In its nonstop mad dash, it finally reached the summit of the Thousand Star Vine.

Swish!

The next instant, it directly swung its sword and plucked the entire flower at the very top. Then, it immediately turned around and dove back toward Li Yun’s position.

By the time it returned to Li Yun’s side, the Origin Crystal was almost completely exhausted, with only one-tenth of its energy remaining.

”That was close.”

Li Yun could not help exhaling.

Fortunately, he had not been greedy enough to make the sword immortal puppet collect the flowers along the way. Otherwise, the energy would not have been enough to sustain it.

Then, Li Yun swung his sword and shattered the barrier outside the flower.

Afterward, the flower bloomed, revealing its contents clearly before Li Yun.

Wrapped within the petals were three drops of pale purple liquid, as beautiful and dazzling as a dream. They carried a hazy and mysterious hue, like the vast starry sky or a deep vortex, making it impossible to look away after just one glance.

This pale purple liquid felt even more beautiful and radiant than the Origin Crystal. That feeling was almost impossible to describe in words. It made one’s soul feel an incomparably comfortable sensation.

”Qiongyu Spirit Liquid!”

Looking at these three dreamlike drops of pale purple liquid, Li Yun and Man Cang cried out in surprise at the same time.

Qiongyu Spirit Liquid was an even more precious spirit liquid than Thousand Star Spirit Liquid. This kind of liquid could nourish and enhance soul power.

For a cultivator, something that could restore soul power was already an extremely rare treasure. A treasure that could directly enhance soul power was a treasure among treasures, enough to make countless cultivators fight to the death for it.

Although, like the Thousand Star Spirit Liquid, this Qiongyu Spirit Liquid was only effective for Heavenly Core Realm cultivators, its value was still extremely high.

Even if it were sold at five hundred Source Stones per drop, it would easily trigger a frantic scramble among countless cultivators. If placed in a large-scale auction in the Central Continent, after some hype and promotion, this Qiongyu Spirit Liquid could even fetch a sky-high price of a thousand Source Stones per drop.

’I have truly hit the jackpot this time.’

A thought immediately rose in Li Yun’s heart.

Exchanging a single Origin Crystal for three drops of Qiongyu Spirit Liquid was undoubtedly an incredibly profitable trade.

At its core, an Origin Crystal was still a form of currency, while Qiongyu Spirit Liquid was something that could tangibly increase one’s strength. It went without saying which of the two was more important.

Furthermore, even when converted into Source Stones, Qiongyu Spirit Liquid was worth at least fifteen hundred Source Stones, or even more than two thousand Source Stones. In terms of value, it was still higher than a single Origin Crystal.

”Brother Li Yun, your luck is truly excellent.”

Man Cang could not help smiling bitterly.

He had originally been extremely joyful after obtaining the Thousand Star Spirit Liquid, but compared to Li Yun’s Qiongyu Spirit Liquid, his excitement instantly vanished.

”Brother Li.”

He hesitated for a moment before speaking. ”I wonder if I could use my Thousand Star Spirit Liquid to exchange with you for a drop of Qiongyu Spirit Liquid?”

”Of course, I know the value of Thousand Star Spirit Liquid cannot compare to Qiongyu Spirit Liquid, so I plan to give you two drops in exchange for one. Additionally, I can pay you an extra hundred Source Stones. I wonder if you are willing?”

As he spoke, a look of anticipation appeared in Man Cang’s eyes.

People from the outside often thought that those from the Desolate True Sect only needed to cultivate their physical bodies and only knew how to use brute force. But they did not know that the sect also had very strict requirements for soul power.

Simply manifesting one of the Twelve True Forms indeed only required a powerful physical body. However, to simultaneously evolve and fuse multiple True Forms, one needed powerful soul power.

Therefore, Man Cang also had a very strong desire for this Qiongyu Spirit Liquid.

”Very well.”

Under Man Cang’s expectant gaze, Li Yun pondered for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

Although the value of Thousand Star Spirit Liquid did not match Qiongyu Spirit Liquid, two drops of Thousand Star Spirit Liquid plus a hundred Source Stones combined exceeded the value of a single drop of Qiongyu Spirit Liquid.

Of course, the most important point was that whether it was Thousand Star Spirit Liquid or Qiongyu Spirit Liquid, a cultivator could only consume one drop. This was the main reason Li Yun was willing to agree.
