Points:

"Only sixteen thousand points left. These points really don't last long!"

After glancing at his attribute panel, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Half a day ago.

After slaying Lin Xiongan, a powerful Celestial Grotto Realm cultivator, and annihilating the Wang and Lin families, along with some of the Xiao Family's reserves, his points had surged past seventy thousand.

But after a series of operations just now, he was left with only a little over sixteen thousand points.

It seemed that accelerating the collection of resources was an urgent task.

As this thought crossed his mind.

Xiao Chen didn't spend his points to exchange for treasures in the system's store. Instead, he took out some pills.

Spirit Essence Pills!

A common third-rank pill that could significantly boost the cultivation speed of Spirit Aperture Realm cultivators.

Even a low-grade third-rank Spirit Essence Pill could save a Spirit Aperture Realm cultivator a month of hard cultivation.

If it were a top-grade third-rank Spirit Essence Pill, just one could save a Spirit Aperture Realm cultivator six months of hard cultivation.

However, the refining of Spirit Essence Pills required extremely precise control of the fire.

Even some powerful Earth Rank alchemists rarely managed to produce top-grade Spirit Essence Pills.

And Heaven Rank alchemists disdained refining such pills, making top-grade Spirit Essence Pills extremely rare in the market.

Each one was priced at five thousand Spirit Crystals, enough to buy a mid-grade Mysterious Rank Spirit Weapon.

At this moment, what Xiao Chen held in his hand were all common low-grade Spirit Essence Pills, obtained from the resources of the two annihilated families.

There were a total of one hundred and thirty-eight pills, with the Xiao Family keeping thirty-eight as cultivation resources for the clan members.

The remaining one hundred pills were handed over to Xiao Chen for his own use.

"Although low-grade Spirit Essence Pills can enhance cultivation, their imperfect refinement leaves some impurities inside."

"If taken over a long period, it will become harder to break through in the later stages."

Looking at the pills before him, Xiao Chen decided not to consume them.

After a moment of thought, he immediately inquired.

"System, how many points are needed to upgrade a low-grade Spirit Essence Pill to top-grade?"

"Ding! After system analysis, upgrading one pill requires two hundred points."

As Xiao Chen's words fell, the system responded.

"Two hundred points per pill?"

Hearing the system's answer, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

This consumption was within his acceptable range.

However, with his remaining points, he couldn't upgrade all the pills.

"System, upgrade eighty Spirit Essence Pills for me!"

As the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen immediately ordered.

The resources he used for cultivation had to be the best.

As for the extra Spirit Essence Pills, they could be handed over to the Xiao Family for sale.

They could be converted into liquid assets and used to purchase other materials, which could then be recycled into points.

After all, items repaired or upgraded by the system couldn't be recycled into points by the system.

This forced Xiao Chen, who originally wanted to exploit a loophole, to abandon the idea of taking an unconventional path.

"Ding! The system has deducted sixteen thousand points and is upgrading eighty Spirit Essence Pills for the host..."

As the system prompt sounded again, a burst of strong light erupted in the side room.

Among the one hundred Spirit Essence Pills placed before Xiao Chen, eighty pills began to undergo a transformation in the light.

The originally flawed surfaces of the pills became as crystalline as jade, even showing pill patterns!

This was the proof that the pill quality had reached top-grade, with no impurities inside!

A rich pill fragrance filled the side room, causing Xiao Chen's body to tremble involuntarily.

Just the fragrance emitted by these pills made his cultivation level increase.

If he were to consume these pills, his cultivation would undoubtedly skyrocket!

"A single top-grade Spirit Essence Pill can sell for five thousand Spirit Crystals. Eighty top-grade Spirit Essence Pills are worth four hundred thousand Spirit Crystals."

"That's enough to buy half of the Xiao Family."

Looking at the eighty top-grade Spirit Essence Pills floating before him, each one shining like a star in the night sky, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

With four hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, the resources he could collect would be enough to exchange for forty to fifty thousand points.

After deducting the points consumed for upgrading, he might even earn an extra twenty to thirty thousand points.

By repeating this cycle, his points would snowball, showcasing the terrifying advantage of having a cheat!

"Let's focus on improving my cultivation first..."

"Otherwise, if I reveal too many top-grade resources without the corresponding strength, it would be courting death."

As this thought settled, Xiao Chen didn't hesitate.

He immediately consumed a top-grade Spirit Essence Pill and began refining it to rapidly enhance his cultivation.

…………

On the other side.

Heavenly Capital City, Lin Family.

"Patriarch, something terrible has happened!!"

Half a day after the annihilation of the Wang and Lin families, a man hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard, directly to the study of the patriarch, Lin Yao.

"We received a piece of intelligence..."

"The Xiao Family in Floating Cloud City, which had a grudge with Young Master Lin Feng, suddenly wiped out the other two major families in Floating Cloud City. Even the City Lord's Mansion didn't dare to intervene."

"It seems there's a mysterious expert supporting the Xiao Family."

"What?!"

Hearing the report, Lin Yao's brush trembled violently, and he quickly looked up.

"Do we have any detailed information?"

For some reason, after asking this question, he felt a sense of unease.

Two days ago.

His father, Lin Xiongan, had suddenly come out of seclusion. After learning about the Xiao Family's situation, he disappeared, likely heading to Floating Cloud City in secret.

And now.

With the sudden change in Floating Cloud City, could it be related to his father, Lin Xiongan?

"The intelligence we received isn't very detailed..."

"We only know that there was a battle involving a Celestial Grotto Realm expert in the Xiao Family. In the end, the Xiao Family seemed to have killed the enemy and wiped out the other two families."

"Damn it, such a thing happened..."

Hearing that the Xiao Family had killed a powerful enemy, Lin Yao's pupils contracted sharply, and his unease grew.

Could this so-called powerful enemy be his old man?!

"No, I need to see the other two Grand Elders and have them investigate Floating Cloud City!"

As this thought settled in his mind.

Lin Yao walked out of the study with a grim expression and headed towards the depths of the Lin Family's ancestral hall.

…………

Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.

As Xiao Chen refined the tenth top-grade Spirit Essence Pill, a powerful aura erupted from his body.

In just two and a half days.

Through this frenzied pill consumption, his cultivation had broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm, Seventh Layer, four small realms higher than before.

"Although my cultivation has improved, my combat experience is lacking."

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to temper myself in actual combat to fully unleash my strength!"

Feeling the surge in his cultivation, Xiao Chen murmured with a gleam in his eyes.

If he only pursued cultivation and neglected combat skills, no matter how strong his cultivation was, it would be just an empty shell.

"Right, Cai Yan is a Heavenly Being Realm expert. If she could spar with me, my combat experience would surely soar!"

As this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.

Cai Yan was one of the top experts of the Seven Great Empires of the Eastern Wilderness, having experienced countless battles in her life.

If he could spar with such an expert, his progress would undoubtedly be rapid.

Moreover, sparring would inevitably involve physical contact, a great opportunity to foster their relationship!

With this plan in mind, Xiao Chen immediately walked out of the side room.
