"Even if you say something big is about to happen, I have no idea what it could be or how to prevent it?" Ye Chuan asked. Since it was Lilith who mentioned it, it couldn’t be baseless rumors—after all, she was an Archmage and had even gifted him a legendary Holy Grail.
Unlimited mana.
This loli was a treasure, despite her temper. Everything else about her was pure gold!
Wealthy! Talented! Generous with gifts!
"Prevent?" Lilith glanced out the window, seemingly pondering, before sizing Ye Chuan up. "Given your current strength… just being cautious should suffice."
Though she didn’t fully grasp Ye Chuan’s rapid growth, she knew a little vigilance wouldn’t hurt.
"Got it." Ye Chuan felt reassured. If Lilith said to be careful, he’d keep his guard up for now.
After emerging from the jade pendant, Lilith didn’t rush back. Instead, she floated to the edge of the bed and planted her feet firmly. "Ye Chuan, I want juice. The same kind as last time."
Ye Chuan thought of the drinks in the fridge, then shrugged. "No juice left."
"Then figure it out." Lilith narrowed her eyes, arms crossed, before lightly tapping Ye Chuan’s thigh with her stocking-clad foot. "Can’t you fulfill such a simple request for me?"
"I’ll order delivery." Ye Chuan pulled out his phone and opened a bubble tea app to show her.
Lilith levitated the device with telekinesis, intrigued. "This thing is quite intricate."
"Of course." Ye Chuan grinned. It was the pinnacle of human ingenuity, after all.
The next second, the phone hovering before Lilith shattered into pieces, its components floating mid-air.
Ye Chuan: "…?"
"Hey?! My phone!"
Seeing his reaction, Lilith casually waved her hand. The disassembled phone reassembled itself instantly.
Then, with a flick of her other hand, she conjured a purple glow, molding it into an identical replica of Ye Chuan’s phone.
"What’s this?" Ye Chuan blinked. How?
A clone?
"Just a replication spell," Lilith said flatly, handing the phone back. "Want to learn?"
"Such a cool magic? Absolutely."
"Juice." Lilith sat primly on the bed, arms still folded—her meaning clear.
Ye Chuan promptly ordered an entire crate of juice, plus a fruit tea.
When the delivery arrived, he placed the bag in front of Lilith. "Here you go, Lilith."
With a slight nod, she accepted the drink. The moment she took a sip, her eyes sparkled, and her legs swung unconsciously.
Truly childlike at times.
Even though Ye Chuan knew Lilith was probably older than his great-grandfather.
"This is the replication spell." Once satisfied, Lilith extended a tiny hand, and a violet orb merged into Ye Chuan’s body.
Memories flooded his mind, and he swiftly mastered the magic.
"Replicate…"
Ye Chuan pulled out a spirit herb and cast the spell. A purple flash later, an identical herb materialized before him.
It actually worked!
Did this mean one herb equaled infinite herbs now?!
But when he tried replicating it again, nothing happened.
"The spell only works once per item," Lilith explained.
Unlimited replication would be absurd.
"Ah. So the copy’s effects are identical to the original?"
"Depends on the item." Lilith eyed the herb. "For something like this, yes."
If so, strategic use of this spell could double his inventory overnight.
No wonder she was an S-tier tenant—nothing she offered was ordinary.
"Miss Lilith, got any other goodies? Like a spell to summon all the world’s wealth in one cast?" Ye Chuan began massaging her calves.
"Mmm, once my power fully recovers, such things are trivial," Lilith murmured, unused to the attention but not rejecting it. Her eyes half-lidded. "I’ll consider it."
Time to hustle for more spirit essence. Lilith’s arsenal was clearly bottomless.
"Ye Chuan." Lilith suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah?"
"Since you can traverse time and space… can you enter the Aiser Continent?" She seemed hesitant.
"Sure." Ye Chuan nodded. "What do you need me to do there?"
The Aiser Continent had always been an option in his adventure worlds, but he’d never set foot in it.
His exploration of the Tianxuan Continent wasn’t even complete, let alone other realms, so he’d left it untouched.
"No, it’s nothing…" Lilith trailed off, swallowing her words.
After finishing two bottles of juice, Lilith retreated into the jade pendant. Ye Chuan emptied his backpack, doubling everything with the replication spell.
Twice the loot, twice the joy. By the time he repacked, midnight had struck.
As the clock reset, his daily allowance of tens of thousands deposited automatically, alongside an adventure world update.
[You initiated an adventure sweep—]
[Sweep complete. Retrievable item: 1]
Checking the Qingyun Sect sweep log, Ye Chuan noted another idle day—perfectly justified as "recovery time." The retrieved item was a sixth-grade Core Condensation Pill.
A gift from Old Man Ziyun.
"I’ve already condensed my core ages ago." Ye Chuan replicated the pill and tossed the spare into his backpack.
No matter. He’d sell it at an auction house in the Tianxuan Continent later.
He’d long planned to offload his backpack’s "trendy junk"—useless to him and Bai Qianshuang alike. The Qingyun Sect might be another viable marketplace.
Just as he prepared to sleep, his phone buzzed. Simultaneously, his aura surged.
[Congratulations! You triggered the Super Spirit Gathering Array upgrade buff. You’ve advanced to late-stage Core Condensation Realm.]
Late-stage Core Condensation!
Huh?
"Are the odds really this high?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow, surprised by yet another effortless breakthrough.
This Super Spirit Gathering Array was worth every penny.
At this rate, catching up to Bai Qianshuang wouldn’t be hard at all.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
