To Achieve This Level in Cultivation

"This stone is called a spirit stone, a special type of ore," Wang Yanran continued explaining. "It can increase the speed of leveling up."

"Miss Yanran, how does one use this kind of stone?" asked the head of one super-martial family.

Such a large piece of stone—could it be that you just take it home and make soup with it?

The others also showed curious expressions. After all, this gem didn't seem all that different from the minerals produced in the rifts. Could it really increase leveling speed?

Wang Yanran had used spirit stones before. Faced with their questions, she simply smiled faintly.

"Well then, Old Master Zhou, you can give it a try."

Old Master Zhou was the head of the super-martial Zhou family who had just asked the question. Upon hearing Wang Yanran's words, he followed her instructions and picked up the stone.

"There are many ways to absorb this spirit stone, and one of them is very simple," Wang Yanran said. "Crush it."

"Crush it?" Old Zhou directly applied force. A crack sound came from the spirit stone in his hand, and soon a wisp of pure spiritual energy drifted out, then, as if drawn, merged into Old Zhou's body.

"Th-this is..." The moment the spiritual energy entered his body, Old Zhou's eyes nearly rolled back. His body trembled uncontrollably, shaking like a sieve.

The others were stunned for a moment. Was he on something?

"O-Old Master Zhou, are you alright?"

"Call an ambulance!"

"What's going on? Is he going to crash right after absorbing it?"

"Wait, everyone!" At that moment, Old Zhou suddenly snapped back to his senses, raising a hand to stop them. Facing the curious gazes around him, he let out a long exhale.

When he looked at Wang Yanran again, his eyes held an intense fervor.

"I... I broke through!"

His words caused everyone around to pause, then a flash of disbelief appeared in their eyes.

He broke through just like that?

Really?!

"Old Zhou, is that true?" someone immediately asked. "Is this thing really that miraculous?"

"More miraculous than eating golden fertilizer," Old Zhou said, as if savoring the feeling. "This thing is simply divine. I want another hit."

Seeing such a miraculous effect, the other family heads turned their gazes to Wang Yanran. "Miss Yanran, how much does this cost?"

Seeing their eagerness, Wang Yanran simply said,

"We don't have many of these. After all, they are precious goods Ye Chuan obtained at great risk. So, I plan to sell each one for one million."

One million...?

Good heavens...

The price wasn't cheap, but for the super-martial family heads present, it wasn't an unacceptable amount.

When the rifts appeared, these guys, as super-martial artists, had profited immensely from both the minerals and monster materials found inside.

"One million, I'll take them all!" Old Zhou said urgently.

"Hold on, Old Zhou, we want some too!"

"I want some too!"

At first, some were still considering the effect, but upon hearing Old Zhou wanted to buy everything, they immediately became anxious.

"I currently have five hundred pieces. Tell me first how many you want," Wang Yanran naturally understood the tactic of scarcity marketing. She smiled,

"Moreover, for those who place an order now, I will give everyone present one extra piece for free."

"Miss Yanran, I'll go get the money right now!"

"Save a spot for me!"

For such a good item, everyone's enthusiasm seemed instantly ignited, and all five hundred pieces were sold on the spot.

In the current super-martial world, strength was paramount. Only with strength did one have a voice and could obtain good things from the rifts.

Investment was for longer-term development.

And the moment they got their hands on them, those family heads took out one piece and crushed it directly.

The moment the spiritual energy entered their bodies, the family heads collectively let out an, "Ah~"

They almost rolled their eyes back and fainted.

So, so potent!

Everyone improved to some degree!

No wonder Old Zhou was so excited earlier. This treasure really worked!

For the Tianxuan Continent, because spiritual energy there was relatively abundant, the sensation brought by spirit stones wasn't as intense; they were just a conventional cultivation method.

But for the real world, a place with almost no spiritual energy, the impact of spirit stones was undoubtedly massive!

"Miss Yanran, when will the second batch arrive?" someone couldn't wait to ask Wang Yanran.

"The second batch will also arrive soon, probably in about half a month," Wang Yanran didn't want to keep these people waiting too long either, as she still had ten thousand spirit stones in hand that needed to be sold properly.

This was just an appetizer.

"Half a month, half a month is fine too."

After seeing off those family heads, Wang Yanran finally seemed to relax, sitting in her boss chair in a daze.

A few seconds later, she took out her phone and directly called Ye Chuan.

"Yanran, how did it go?" Ye Chuan's voice came from the other end of the line.

"I sold five hundred pieces first. Bringing out too many at once could easily drive the price down," Wang Yanran knew Ye Chuan was smart and naturally understood the principle of scarcity increasing value.

If people knew Wang Yanran had ten thousand pieces, they wouldn't be as eager to buy.

"Five hundred pieces means five hundred million. I'll transfer it to you later. I'm confident I can sell the rest within two months," Wang Yanran continued.

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

"No, I'm satisfied just being able to work by your side," Wang Yanran said.

"Is that so." Ye Chuan's laughter came through the phone. "Well then, rest early. You can come over for a meal tomorrow and try Luo Xi's cooking."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Wang Yanran put down her phone.

"Ah, if only I could live in that house too," she couldn't help but sigh, though Wang Yanran also knew there didn't seem to be a place for her there.

"Forget it, work hard. Don't think about such messy things."

...

On the other side, Ye Chuan also received eight hundred million. Part of it was from the spirit stones, and another part was from selling medicine.

"Such huge profits," Ye Chuan stroked his chin contentedly. This way, he wouldn't have to worry too much about money when enhancing weapons and magical treasures.

With a stable source of income, everything was actually much easier.

Leaving his room, Ye Chuan noticed Lan Xiaoke was still cultivating—

"She's really diligent. Going to such lengths just to top up in a game, huh, Xiaoke."

This would really make game companies shed tears.

"One Girl Goes to Such Lengths Just to Earn Money!"

But if Lan Xiaoke really broke through in her cultivation, Ye Chuan wouldn't be stingy with his rewards. After all, this girl was usually too lazy.

She is, at the very least, a disciple of the Jade Void Sect. Reviving the glory of the Jade Void should be her duty.
