Lin Xuan was unaware that his extraordinary gains had aroused envy and jealousy among many people, causing the news of his acquisition of millions of identity tokens to spread throughout most of the battlefield world in the shortest possible time.
This immediately shocked countless people.
"A mere human I've never heard of before actually obtained over a million identity tokens. If I didn't have the footage, I would never believe it!"
“I also saw the footage. That human was indeed very strong. He could easily kill over a million people by himself, including over a hundred Golden Immortals. This shows how terrifying his strength was.”
"This is an unparalleled genius, probably with the strength to compete for the top 100."
"This person is still in the top 100. They have over a million identity tokens, so theoretically they've practically secured first place. However, this battle has only just begun and will last for a year. Who can say what will happen after that?"
"Hehe... I don't know if he can win first place, but I know this guy is going to be in trouble. I bet he's already being targeted by countless people."
...
Within the battlefield world, discussions about Lin Xuan were rampant. After seeing Lin Xuan's image in the ancient city, some people were stunned, shocked by Lin Xuan's strength, and secretly decided that they must go around Lin Xuan if they encountered him, and absolutely must not be his enemy.
But some people's eyes gleamed with excitement, like a starving wolf that had suddenly spotted its prey.
Some people even offered a reward for information leading to Lin Xuan's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan, the protagonist of this incident, was in seclusion deep within a vast mountain forest, in an inconspicuous natural cave. The cave was not very large, with an entrance no more than ten feet in size, which was now concealed by Lin Xuan using an illusion array.
Inside the cave, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on a makeshift stone bed, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, a broad smile on his face. He had been in the cave for three days, and during those three days, Lin Xuan had been doing one thing: taking stock of his spoils.
The wealth of millions of geniuses and prodigies was simply too abundant. Even with Lin Xuan's mental power, it took him three full days to completely inventory and categorize the various resources.
The biggest gain this time was naturally the identity tokens worth over one million. Besides that, there were a little over ten thousand innate blood crystals. This was the total number of innate blood crystals in the entire ancient city. Many of them had never appeared before, but after Lin Xuan razed the ancient city to the ground, many innate blood crystals were exposed, which is why they were so valuable to him.
Besides that, there's the wealth of millions of people. After three days of sorting, classifying, and categorizing it, Lin Xuan finally had a general understanding of it.
Most of the resources were not very effective for Lin Xuan, since the system would give him various rewards for every enemy he killed.
Most of these rewards are cultivation resources, such as cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, spiritual medicines, and rare treasures. Lin Xuan may not have everything, but he certainly doesn't lack resources. In fact, his original wealth was enough to rival that of some first-rate forces.
While he was pleased with the wealth of millions of people this time, that was all.
Of these, he didn't actually need many. After taking stock, Lin Xuan found three items that best suited his needs.
A primordial object, the Primordial Aurora; a rare and precious material, the Crimson Copper Mother; and an Earth Spirit Pearl.
The three items included the Primordial Aurora, a wisp of aurora that naturally formed at the beginning of time, possessing boundless sharpness and terrifying speed. Lin Xuan planned to integrate it into his Awakening Insect Blade.
Because once the Jingzhe Blade merges with the Primordial Aurora, its power will surge dramatically, giving rise to boundless sharpness and the attribute of light. When facing an enemy, it will automatically activate the laws of light.
As for the Earth Spirit Pearl, it goes without saying that it is a superior-grade innate treasure on par with the Fire Spirit Pearl.
It greatly helped Lin Xuan comprehend the origin of the laws.
Of the three items, Lin Xuan was most satisfied with the Crimson Mixed Copper Mother. This was a rare and precious material, naturally formed and containing endless mysteries; it was a divine material for forging weapons. Most importantly, the Crimson Mixed Copper Mother was extremely helpful in repairing the Mountain and River Cauldron.
The Mountain and River Cauldron is a top-tier innate artifact, but because it is currently severely damaged, it is only equivalent to a low-grade innate artifact. Once it is fully repaired, Lin Xuan is certain that the Mountain and River Cauldron's grade will be above the Earth Spirit Pearl and the Fire Spirit Pearl.
As for what level he had reached, Lin Xuan had no idea and could not speculate.
Unfortunately, the small amount of Crimson Copper Mother in his possession was still of limited help to the Mountain and River Cauldron. Lin Xuan estimated that it would be enough to restore the Mountain and River Cauldron to the level of a mid-grade innate treasure.
Of course, the wealth of millions of people cannot consist of only these three good things.
In fact, besides these three items, there are more than a dozen other innate treasures, including various top-grade natural materials and innate medicines. However, for Lin Xuan, the value of these items is far less than that of the three he chose.
"First, integrate the Primordial Aurora into the Awakening Blade, then use the Crimson Copper Mother to repair the Mountain and River Cauldron. As for the Earth Spirit Pearl, it's the same as the Fire Spirit Pearl; just refine it. In the future, I can use it to comprehend the fundamental laws of earth and pave the way for my Ten Laws..." Lin Xuan murmured to himself. With a thought, he raised his hand, and the three treasures immediately emitted a dazzling spiritual light, almost simultaneously floating in front of him.
Lin Xuan didn't waste any words. With a thought, he launched a three-pronged attack.
While refining the Earth Spirit Pearl, he also summoned the Awakening Insect Blade and the Mountain and River Cauldron. One fused with the Primordial Aurora, while the other devoured the Crimson Copper Mother to repair the many cracks on his body.
Buzz... Boom...
Clang!
In an instant, the cave was filled with the powerful fundamental law of earth, and then, after the astonishing sharpness and sword intent collided, they began to merge in a mysterious trajectory.
At the same time, the Mountain and River Cauldron instantly enlarged, like a giant whale swallowing, frantically devouring the Crimson Copper Mother. As the Crimson Copper Mother, which was the size of a human head, continued to shrink, the light emanating from the Mountain and River Cauldron became more and more dazzling. One of the hideous cracks on its surface was clearly healing and weakening, and finally disappeared completely.
Then comes the second and third rounds.
After the entire piece of red mixed copper mother was completely devoured, ten cracks on the surface of the Mountain and River Cauldron were reduced. However, compared to the countless cracks on the surface of the Mountain and River Cauldron, the reduction of these ten cracks was essentially negligible, and in fact, they were almost undetectable without careful observation.
However, after the ten cracks healed, the power unleashed by the Mountain and River Cauldron was more than ten times greater than before, and a powerful pressure burst forth, surging like a mountain torrent.
boom……
In an instant, the entire cave space shook, rippling like water, as if the space itself were about to be folded and distorted.
