Open up and break into another world

The Sect Assembly ended, and everyone returned to their respective homes.

Xu Ming returned to his residence, and the first thing he did was—take stock of his gains!

“The Sect Assembly is truly a great place to make money! If there could be a few more times each year, that would be awesome!”

Eighty thousand low-grade Xuan Stones piled up in front of Xu Ming into a small mountain taller than a person.

The mountain of Xuan Stones reflected each other, sparkling with dazzling light.

This kind of dazzling light was simply refreshing: “The feeling of being rich is truly great…”

The money-making efficiency of the Sect Assembly is really a hundred times higher than mining!

You must know that Xu Ming only mined tens of thousands of Xuan Stones after a month of hard work.

But at the Sect Assembly, he just pretended to be cool a few times, and in a little over a day, he earned eighty thousand low-grade Xuan Stones, plus four pills even more precious than Xuan Stones!

“In the future, besides the Sect Assembly, I must actively participate in other sect activities as well!” Having tasted the sweetness, Xu Ming’s enthusiasm for the Sect Assembly soared to the limit.

“Little Cheat, help me exchange all these Xuan Stones for level 2 Cheat Points!”

Xuan Stones can be exchanged for Cheat Points, and Cheat Points can actually be exchanged back for Xuan Stones at the same value.

Therefore, instead of keeping Xuan Stones on his body, it's more reassuring to exchange them for Cheat Points and store them.

However, this kind of equal exchange is limited to Xuan Stones.

Other treasures, such as weapons and pills, are much more expensive to "buy" than to "sell," so it won't work.

After storing the Xuan Stones, Xu Ming carefully studied the four pills.

Soul Nourishing Pill, as the name suggests, has the effect of nourishing the soul and strengthening the sea of consciousness.

The benefits of a strong sea of consciousness are self-evident: comprehension will be greatly increased, and cultivation will be twice as effective; during battles, thinking will be clearer and sharper.

True Martial Breakthrough Pill, a precious pill for improving cultivation.

When taken by someone at the Perfection of the Acquired Realm, it can help break through to the Half-step Core Formation realm; if taken before the Perfection of the Acquired Realm, cultivation will greatly increase.

Enlightenment Pill, after taking it, the body and mind enter an ethereal state, greatly enhancing the understanding of heaven and earth and nature.

Five Elements Spiritual Clarity Pill, when taken by someone who has achieved the "Harmony of Man and Nature" realm, they will definitely comprehend their domain!

Each of the four pills is more precious than the last.

The value of the four pills together is close to two thousand high-grade Xuan Stones! That is to say, even if you took two hundred thousand low-grade Xuan Stones to buy them, you wouldn't be able to!

“This Soul Nourishing Pill…” Xu Ming pondered, “Increases cultivation speed? Makes thinking clearer and sharper during battles?”

After pondering for a while, Xu Ming discovered that the effect of the Soul Nourishing Pill was strong, but… it didn't seem to be of any use to him…

Increase cultivation speed?

Does Xu Ming, who lazes around all day and relies on offline grinding to level up, need to increase his cultivation speed?

Thinking clearer and sharper during battles?

Heh heh, Xu Ming has Perfect Battle… Perfect!

Xu Ming then looked at the True Martial Breakthrough Pill.

The True Martial Breakthrough Pill can improve cultivation.

However, it's not like you can swallow it in one gulp and your cultivation will immediately "boom" and increase—that's simply impossible!

After taking the pill, you still have to continue cultivating diligently; it's just that the speed of cultivation will be greatly increased, and some bottlenecks in the Acquired stage can be easily broken through—that's all.

“You still have to cultivate yourself… then what's the point!”

Increase cultivation speed? Xu Ming just wanted to say that no matter how much the cultivation speed is increased, it's still trash compared to the efficiency of offline grinding!

Since it's trash, why would Xu Ming waste time eating this pill?

Enlightenment Pill, Five Elements Spiritual Clarity Pill, divine medicines for improving realms!—But, needless to say, it's also impossible to take them and have your realm "boom" and increase; you still have to spend time comprehending them yourself.

Xu Ming held the four pills: “After all this, they’re all tasteless… I might as well sell them to Little Cheat and exchange them for Cheat Points!”

Just as Xu Ming was about to exchange them for Cheat Points, he suddenly thought: “They are indeed tasteless to me, but… for Gu Hanmo, they are rare treasures!”

Give them to Gu Hanmo?

Thinking that the four pills were worth nearly two thousand high-grade Xuan Stones, and selling them to Little Cheat could sell for more than a thousand level 3 Cheat Points, Xu Ming hesitated slightly.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment.

“What am I earning money, leveling up, and becoming stronger for!?” Xu Ming asked himself, “First, to make myself live better and not be bullied; and to stand at a higher place and see this magnificent world! Second, to make the people around me live better!”

So, who are the people around Xu Ming?

Xu Ming is too lonely in this world!

The entire world is a "foreign land" to him!

In the entire world, there is not a single person who is Xu Ming's true relative!

However, Xu Ming is lucky—whether it was fate's deliberate arrangement or not, Xu Ming encountered Gu Hanmo, such a proud daughter of heaven, in a small rural country like the Flying Cloud Kingdom.

Regardless of whether Xu Ming dares to admit it or not, Gu Hanmo is definitely the most important person to him in this world!

There is no "one of."

He and Gu Hanmo have a tacit understanding.

The two often don't need words; just a look can understand each other's thoughts.

This kind of telepathy is very peculiar; Xu Ming has never sensed it in anyone else.

Sometimes, Xu Ming even thinks—did I transmigrate to this world just because fate wanted me to meet Gu Hanmo?

Xu Ming and Gu Hanmo actually both understand each other's feelings; the two are only one step away from confessing.

“These four pills, give them all to Gu Hanmo!”

Xu Ming was planning to give away four pills worth nearly two thousand high-grade Xuan Stones; did he feel sorry?

No!

Giving them to Gu Hanmo is not giving them to an outsider, so what is there to feel sorry about?

Besides, even if he felt sorry, it's okay; he could just work harder and go to the Liang family's mines… oh, no, go to his own mines and mine for a few more days, and he would get them back!

As the saying goes—money and treasures are external possessions!

External possessions are given to the people around you; not to mention just four pills, Xu Ming wouldn't feel sorry for any more treasures.

“It’s getting late today, I’ll go find Gu Hanmo tomorrow!”

…

The next morning, Xu Ming had just gotten up, and before he had time to go out, an inner sect disciple came looking for him.

“Brother Ming! Brother Ming!”

Xu Ming recognized this person; he was an old disciple who had joined the sect a few years ago, and was also from the Gu faction, his name seemed to be Liu Xin.

“Senior Brother Liu Xin, what’s the matter?”

Logically, Xu Ming should call the other party Senior Brother.

However, Liu Xin’s face immediately changed when he heard this, and he quickly waved his hand and said: “Don’t, Brother Ming, you are my brother! How can I be worthy of being your senior brother…”

“Uh…” Xu Ming was speechless, and didn’t bother to be polite with the title, “Then let’s just call each other by our names—is there anything, Liu Xin?”

Liu Xin said: “The Sect Leader asked me to take you to the Enlightenment Tower.”
