Seeing that Zhao Fan had already given in and given up the spirit stones.
The other thirty-two people also paid their spirit stones in succession.
After all, Gao Yan had already revealed the Void Puppet. If they didn't pay the spirit stones, Gao Yan would probably have to send the Void Puppet to deal with them.
Although Gao Yan tried his best to maintain his position, he still couldn't help but smile slightly after gaining 5.6 trillion spirit stones.
The current revenue is over 6.4 trillion, while the total number of spirit stones is almost 63 trillion.
He has so many spirit stones that he could never spend them all in a lifetime.
"System, begin the upgrade!"
"Ding, 900 billion reward points have been consumed to upgrade to level 31."
"Ding, 1 trillion reward points consumed to upgrade to level 32."
Hearing only two announcements, Gao Yan wasn't surprised, as he had already figured out the system's upgrade pattern.
"Upgrade time is six hours, please wait patiently!"
After closing the system sub-interface, Gao Yan focused his attention on the core of the Emperor's Tomb.
He is currently in a meadow.
Several kilometers ahead, there is a city gate.
The others had already sneakily run to the city gate, with no intention of reminding him at all.
After all, nobody wants to share opportunities with others.
His figure swayed.
Gao Yan also arrived at the city gate.
A stone tablet stands in front of the city gate.
The stele records a martial arts technique, and there are requirements after the technique: one must comprehend the technique within ten days, or one will be eliminated.
You won't die after being eliminated; you'll just be teleported outside the Emperor's Tomb.
Others who arrived earlier have already begun to study this technique.
Gao Yan possesses the ability to remember everything he sees; theoretically, he should be able to memorize the techniques after seeing them only once.
Strangely, after reading the technique once, he didn't remember it completely.
So he looked at it several more times before finally imprinting the techniques on the stone tablet into his mind.
Then, like the others, he sat cross-legged in place and began to comprehend the technique.
Gao Yan originally thought that with his comprehension, understanding a cultivation technique would be a piece of cake.
But two hours passed.
He had absolutely no clue!
Because this cultivation method is just too damn obscure, even though it only has a few hundred words.
If you list each character out individually, he recognizes them all.
But when these words are strung together, he can no longer understand them.
Moreover, the more you try to understand, the more confused you become, and the more dizzy you get.
He stopped his meditation and instead looked at the others, finding that they were all in similar situations, with furrowed brows, and some even mechanically chanting the techniques in a low voice.
"I'm tired. Let it all end. I'm done with this!"
Gao Yan has decided to give up.
He believed that even if ten days passed, he would not be able to comprehend this cultivation technique.
Since that's the case.
He was too lazy to bother thinking about it.
He simply returned to the grass, took out the thigh meat from a Nascent Soul beast, cleaned it, and then used his flying sword to cut it into strips.
After marinating them with seasonings, they were then made into grilled skewers.
Then they took out the barbecue grill and started grilling the meat.
Everyone else was focused on comprehending the technique and paid no attention to him.
It wasn't until the aroma of the roasted meat wafted out that everyone turned to look.
When they saw Gao Yan not studying the cultivation technique but instead grilling meat, some people frowned, while others were secretly pleased.
Just then.
A figure flashed by.
Mei Yuzhen, Qi Zongyun, and Gongsun Yaoyao appeared here.
Seeing Gao Yan grilling meat, the three of them showed a look of surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, what is this...?"
Gongsun Yaoyao stepped forward and asked.
"I'm grilling meat here, it'll be ready soon. Would you like a few skewers, Saintess Gongsun? I won't charge you spirit stones!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Hehe!" Gongsun Yaoyao was amused by Gao Yan's words and waved her hand, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Gao, but it's not necessary. However, Fellow Daoist Gao, please come for a few hours first. What's the situation here?"
Gao Yan glanced at the city gate and said, "The stone tablet in front of the city gate records an extremely obscure cultivation technique. You can pass the test if you can comprehend it within ten days. If you cannot comprehend it, you will be sent out of the Emperor's Tomb!"
"I see, thank you for telling me the truth, Fellow Daoist Gao!"
"It's okay, you'll find out when you get there!"
Gao Yan waved his hand dismissively.
"Then why doesn't Fellow Daoist Gao comprehend the cultivation technique?" Gongsun Yaoyao asked.
"I also spent two hours trying to understand it, but I didn't figure anything out, so I just gave up!"
Gao Yandao said.
"Giving up after only two hours? Maybe you can understand it if you study it for a longer period of time!" Gongsun Yaoyao kindly reminded her.
"No!"
Gao Yan shook his head.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yaoyao felt somewhat helpless and wanted to say something more, but Qi Zongyun's voice rang out: "Junior Sister Gongsun, this person only got here by cheating. It's normal that he can't comprehend it. Why bother talking to him!"
"Fellow Daoist Gao, you should try it more!"
After leaving those words behind, Gongsun Yaoyao turned and left.
Gao Yan knew that Gongsun Yaoyao meant well for him, but he really had no confidence at all. Of course, he did not give up. In a little while, the system would complete the upgrade.
Perhaps we can help him comprehend that cultivation technique through a lottery.
Half an hour later.
Once the skewers were cooked, Gao Yan took out a plate to serve them, then set out a table, chairs, and drinks, and began to eat and drink leisurely.
Seeing this scene.
Many people secretly scoffed, thinking that this guy had probably given up entirely.
After a while.
Xiahou Meng flashed to the table and said irritably, "What are you doing? Instead of studying your cultivation techniques, you're here grilling meat!"
