"Wow... this price!"

Seeing the price, Jiang Li felt a bit overwhelmed.

He had traded in resources of a Fourth Layer King Level expert and a young master of a major clan, and only got 987 points in return. If these cultivation resources were sold outside, they could easily fetch a few platinum coins. Yet, the cheapest elixir in the store cost 500 points!

"I thought I was quite wealthy, but cultivation truly is a bottomless pit..."

However, since he had chosen the path of cultivation, he had to bear the corresponding cost.

Among the three elixirs, what attracted Jiang Li the most was the "Qianyuan Pill".

It could elevate one's realm without any side effects!

In other words, if Jiang Li used it now, he could immediately advance to the mid-stage of the Gold Core realm!

However, even if he could exchange enough points for the Qianyuan Pill in the future, Jiang Li would still choose to use it when he reached the mid-stage of the Gold Core realm. After all, the difficulty of advancing from the mid-stage to the late stage was far greater than from the initial stage to the mid-stage.

But the price of the Qianyuan Pill, reaching tens of thousands of points, was simply too high.

With his current points, he could only exchange for the elixir with the worst effect, the "Spirit Light Elixir".

"Having it is better than not having it."

Jiang Li mocked himself and exchanged for a bottle of Spirit Light Elixir from the store. Then, he also exchanged for some elixirs suitable for the Gold Core stage from the "Healing Elixirs", spending over 700 points in total.

Looking at the remaining 210 points, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"I can only hope that the cultivation resources at the Chaotic Sea Star Pavilion won't disappoint me!"

Jiang Li didn't plan to use them immediately.

The effect of the Spirit Light Elixir could last for a month after use. He would be traveling for some time, and using it now would likely waste most of its potency. It would be better to wait until he entered the Chaotic Sea Star Pavilion and settled down before using it.

After making the decision, Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the ground and quietly adjusted his breath.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

The spaceship was already approaching the Prism Star.

On the way, Jiang Li learned that the Prism Star was actually ranked in the top 10 within the entire Seven-Colored Star Domain!

The largest power on the Prism Star, the Star Guard Pavilion, was a commercial organization spanning several star systems.

The identity of the pavilion's master was extremely mysterious, rumored to be a star-level expert!

Listening to the intelligent projection on the spaceship introducing the Prism Star, Jiang Li nodded.

The Bolan family was not simple, as evidenced by the guardians behind them.

He just didn't know if they had any connection with the Star Guard Pavilion.

As they approached the Prism Star, Jiang Li had already connected to the network on the Prism Star and informed Bolan in advance that he was about to arrive.

Bolan quickly replied to Jiang Li with an address, indicating that he would be waiting there.

Half an hour later, the spaceship slowly landed at the location mentioned by Bolan.

As the cabin door opened, Jiang Li and Lin Mo'er saw Bolan with a sunny smile on his face.

"Brother Jiang, Mo'er, welcome! You've traveled far."

Bolan was dressed in a set of purple-gold casual clothes, with several armored guards standing behind him.

Jiang Li faintly felt that the strength of these guards was even stronger than the two guardians from before.

His speculation about Bolan's identity couldn't help but rise again.

"You must be hungry after the long journey. I've prepared some good food and wine. Please, don't refuse."

"Everything is at Bolan's arrangement."

Jiang Li also smiled slightly and followed Lin Mo'er behind Bolan.

The guards originally intended to intercept them, but Bolan waved his hand and said solemnly, "Brother Jiang and Mo'er are my closest friends. There's no need to be on guard!"

Upon hearing this, the guards all responded in unison, "Yes, young master!"

Jiang Li then looked around and noticed that the spaceship had landed in a very large courtyard, capable of accommodating a ship several hundred meters long and wide. And this was on the bustling Prism Star...

"Bolan is even more extravagant than I imagined."

Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh.

Bolan chuckled and said meaningfully, "Brother Jiang, don't make fun of me. To have nurtured a young genius like you, I can't even imagine the power behind you."

Jiang Li didn't respond to this.

A few minutes later, they entered the hall of a building.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Li smelled the rich aroma of food.

In the hall, there was a not-so-large round table filled with delicious food and wine.

"Brother Jiang, Mo'er, you must be hungry after the journey. Please, take a seat quickly."

As Bolan spoke, he took a seat himself.

"I have some things to discuss with Brother Jiang and Mo'er. You may leave for now."

Upon hearing this, the guards showed a hint of reluctance in their eyes. After all, their orders were to protect the young master at all costs.

"What's this? You're not even listening to me now?"

Seeing Bolan's anger, the guards quickly said they dared not and exited the hall.

Once the guards left, Bolan's expression turned serious.

"Brother Jiang, I heard about the death of Lan Bing!"

The Lan family was one of the prominent families in the Seven-Colored Star Domain. The news of the young master's death had even reached Bolan's ears.

Jiang Li didn't know how the Lan family had learned about Lan Bing's death so quickly. However, he chose not to deceive Bolan and said calmly, "Yes, I killed him."

Anyone with a brain would know that Lan Bing's death was definitely related to Jiang Li. Rather than lying and breaking trust, it was better to confess.

Jiang Li still had some trust in Bolan, after all, the latter had risked offending the Bai family to help him.

Afterward, Jiang Li recounted the entire incident, including how Lan Bing and Lu Cang had teamed up to intercept them, and how he had killed them.

After listening to Jiang Li and Lin Mo'er's account, Bolan took a deep breath and apologized sincerely, "They asked me if you had left, saying they wanted to apologize to you in person for their recklessness. I never thought they had such intentions! This is my mistake, and I'm the one who put you in danger!"

Bolan's eyes and tone were sincere.

Jiang Li was not unreasonable and knew that this matter was not Bolan's fault at all.

"Bolan, don't blame yourself. In the end, this is all because of the malicious intentions of Lan Bing and Lu Cang. You don't need to apologize for this."

"Yeah, Bolan, this has nothing to do with you."

Lin Mo'er also spoke up to comfort him.

Upon hearing this, Bolan's expression eased a bit, "Brother Jiang, Mo'er, please rest assured. You can stay here during the time before going to the Chaotic Sea Star Pavilion. Even if the Lan family investigates, or even if the head of the Lan family comes, they won't be able to harm you here!"

Jiang Li raised his glass and said, "Then I thank Bolan!"

Lin Mo'er also raised her glass, "Thank you, Bolan, for taking care of us..."

Seeing that Jiang Li and Lin Mo'er had no grudges, Bolan smiled again and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, saying, "It's just what a host should do!"

Bolan seemed to have thought of something and continued, "By the way, I've made an appointment with Miss Tang. After she arrives at the Prism Star the day after tomorrow, the four of us will go to the Chaotic Sea Star Pavilion together. But before that, there's an annual auction on the Prism Star tomorrow. I wonder if Brother Jiang is interested?"
