"This Sect Master keeps her word. From now on, you are this Sect Master's Direct Disciple."
"Take this Profound Green Sword. Consider it a First Meeting Gift from your Master."
Although Luo Qianxue felt like collapsing, she was still the Saintess of the Upper Realm's Limitless Sacred Land. Having accepted a Direct Disciple, she even needed the disciple to give her a Disciple Initiation Gift? If word of this got out in the future, how could she possibly show her face?
What's done is done[1], Luo Qianxue couldn't slap her own face. But to have gained a Direct Disciple so inexplicably, Luo Qianxue felt bitter inside, though she wouldn't say it.
If Ye Feng knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be speechless. You inexplicably took five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, haven't seen you return those!
"Ding! Host accepted the Profound Green Sword. Deducting 20 Prodigal Points!"
"Ding! Reminder: The Host is an Invincible Prodigal Magnate. How can he take things from others? Return it within one hour to recover the deducted Prodigal Points."
Just as Ye Feng was examining the Profound Green Sword in his hand, the System's voice suddenly rang out.
Hm?
... ...
Luo Qianxue stared blankly at the Profound Green Sword Ye Feng had just shoved back into her hand.
What's going on?
This Profound Green Sword is a Seventh Grade, Seventh Rank Spirit Tool! In a third-rate sect, it would be considered a Sect-Guarding Treasure, and you're giving it back to me?
"Master, accept no reward without merit. This disciple cannot accept this Profound Green Sword. If you insist on giving it to this disciple, then name a price!"
Ye Feng looked at Luo Qianxue and declared righteously.
Rich and foolish?
No!
Ye Feng only cared about keeping everything within the scope of being prodigal. As long as he could gain Prodigal Points, he couldn't care less how others saw him. As long as the System didn't judge him as 'rich and foolish', then all his actions were purely prodigal acts.
"Name a price! Name a price! Name a price!"
"Do you really think money can buy everything?"
"This is a token of your Master's sentiment. Since you don't want it, then forget it!"
Saying this, Luo Qianxue angrily put away the Profound Green Sword and flew upwards, leaving Ye Feng and Elder Bai standing there.
"Elder Bai, is Master's brain a little scrambled? Refusing to earn money when it's offered?"
Watching Luo Qianxue leave in anger, Ye Feng looked at Elder Bai beside him with utter speechlessness and started complaining.
Hehe!
However, upon hearing this, Elder Bai couldn't help but chuckle, his gaze towards Ye Feng filled with curiosity.
A mortal, why does he possess such vast wealth?
Although puzzled, Elder Bai was extremely happy to see his Young Miss's mental state constantly changing in just this short while. If her state of mind remained unresponsive, like stagnant water, how could it be tempered?
"Let's go. This old man will take you back to the sect."
Saying this, a Flying Sword appeared beneath Elder Bai's feet. He took Ye Feng, soared into the sky, and quickly flew towards the mountain peak.
Name: Ye Feng
Age: 18
Realm: Mortal
Physique: Mortal Body
Martial Skills: None
Divine Abilities: None
Items: None
Prodigal Points: 400
Today's Prodigal Items: First Grade, Ninth Rank Heavenly Thunder Talisman * 10,000
"System, doesn't this world emphasize things like Spirit Roots, Talent, Divine Bodies, and such?"
"How do I use Prodigal Points to draw for these? And how do I consume Prodigal Points to raise my strength?"
Standing on the Flying Sword, protected by the Spiritual Power released by Elder Bai, the strong winds didn't mess up Ye Feng's handsome hairstyle. With nothing else to do, he began asking the System.
By integrating the memories of this body, Ye Feng knew that in the Xuan Tian Continent, strength was divided into nine major realms: Spirit Sea Realm, Qi Movement Realm, Spirit Fusing Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Divine Repository Realm, Violet Palace Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Void Interpretation Realm, and Tribulation Crossing Realm. Each realm was further divided into Nine Levels. Now that he had Prodigal Points, he really wanted to raise his strength first. After all, having a System but still being a mortal was quite embarrassing.
Spirit Sea Realm: Consumes 10 Prodigal Points per minor level increase.
Qi Movement Realm: Consumes 100 Prodigal Points per minor level increase.
Spirit Fusing Realm: Consumes 1,000 Prodigal Points per minor level increase.
...
Spirit Grass Jar: Price 100 Prodigal Points. Over 90% chance to specify and open a First Grade Spirit Grass, 80% chance to specify and open a Second Grade Spirit Grass... The probability does not change with strength increase.
Spirit Ore Jar: Price 100 Prodigal Points. Over 90% chance to specify and open a First Grade Spirit Ore, 80% chance to specify and open a Second Grade Spirit Ore... The probability does not change with strength increase.
Pill Jar: Price 100 Prodigal Points. Over 90% chance to specify and open a First Grade Pill, 80% chance to specify and open a Second Grade Pill... The probability does not change with strength increase.
Cultivation Method Jar, Martial Skill Jar, Formation Jar, Talisman Jar...
Divine Abilities, Physiques, Spirit Roots, etc., can potentially be obtained while opening various jars.
After asking, although he didn't get a verbal reply from the System, a stream of unfamiliar information flooded his mind.
"System, the Prodigal Points required to raise realms are a bit excessive, aren't they?"
Just the Spirit Fusing Realm required one thousand Prodigal Points per minor level. He didn't even dare to think about the realms beyond that.
As for the other aspects, Ye Feng was quite satisfied. If nothing else, Ninth Grade Spirit Grass was definitely something priceless and unobtainable on the market, yet he had a ten percent chance of getting one by spending one hundred Prodigal Points, and he could even specify it. Honestly, this probability wasn't low.
"Wait, what use do I have for top-tier Ninth Grade Spirit Grass, Ninth Grade Spirit Ore, Ninth Grade Pills, and stuff?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng realized a problem.
"Ding! Host prodigally using special items obtained from various jars counts as a prodigal act. The higher the grade, the more Prodigal Points obtained."
"Ding! This type of prodigal act requires special circumstances. For example, prodigally using a Ninth Grade Peak Quality Pill can involve crushing it into a mud pill in front of a Ninth Grade Alchemist. Such an act is considered a successful prodigal act."
Holy Crap!
Hearing the System's reply, even Ye Feng couldn't help but curse. This System was simply shameless [2]to the extreme!
Not only would this method of being prodigal definitely drive others mad, but wasn't this also enticing him to gamble on probability!
"Whatever, let's raise my strength first."
Currently, Ye Feng's strength was that of a Mortal. To advance to the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm and formally step onto the path of cultivation required ten Prodigal Points. To directly break through to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm required ninety Prodigal Points.
"System, consume ninety Prodigal Points, raise my strength to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!"
Boom!
As Ye Feng's words fell, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly surged, then madly poured into his body.
"This... this guy is opening up his Spirit Sea!"
Elder Bai, who was flying at high speed, stopped abruptly, staring at Ye Feng beside him with utter shock.
One minute!
Two minutes!
Three minutes!
The continuous stream of Spiritual Qi from the surroundings kept pouring into Ye Feng's body without any sign of stopping, instead seeming to intensify.
"This... how is this possible!"
"It's just opening up the Spirit Sea, how could it require such enormous amounts of Spiritual Qi? This much Spiritual Qi is enough to open up several Spirit Seas!"
Elder Bai, standing aside, was already profoundly shaken. This was the first time he had ever seen someone open up their Spirit Sea like this!
