The next morning, Chu Tianyao walked out of the Rainbow Tower.
He plans to make a big purchase at the shops selling magical artifacts and elixirs!
Shops lined both sides of the street, their various signs shimmering in the morning light. Some were adorned with intricate runes, while others were carved with mythical beast totems, all exuding a rich spiritual aura.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of herbs and spiritual energy, which was refreshing and invigorating.
Chu Tianyao first arrived at a shop called "Dan Ding Ge"...
Above the door hangs an ancient plaque that reads, “Refine the elixir of immortality, and the elixir will be perfected and the world will be settled.”
He gently pushed open the carved wooden door, and an even richer aroma of medicine wafted out. Inside the shop were various bottles and jars of pills, some crystal clear, containing shimmering pills; others were simple and unadorned, yet exuding a calm and spiritual aura.
"Hmm...judging from the quality of the pills, most are pills for Qi Refining stage cultivators, but some are Foundation Establishment pills..."
"The system's recycling process starts from the Qi Refining Realm. Presumably, the higher the realm, the more Dao Derivation Points will be obtained from recycling."
The shopkeeper of the elixir shop was an elderly man with white hair.
He approached Chu Tianyao, looked him up and down, and then asked, "Young master, do you need any pills for the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "Boss, what are the prices of pills for the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm respectively?"
The white-haired old man said, "Each pill for the Qi Refining Realm costs 500 crystal stones and can improve one's cultivation level in the Qi Refining Realm. In addition, each Qi Condensation Pill, which increases the success rate of advancing from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, costs 10,000 crystal stones."
"A Foundation Establishment pill costs 5,000 crystal stones and can also improve one's Foundation Establishment cultivation. A Purple Cloud Pill, which increases the success rate of advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, costs 100,000 crystal stones."
"Damn it!" Chu Tianyao cursed inwardly, "These pills are really expensive! At this rate, even 90,000 crystals won't be enough!"
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, then selected ten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation pills...
After some haggling with the owner, I got it for 40,000 crystals, which is considered a 20% discount.
After leaving the "Dan Ding Pavilion", Chu Tianyao strolled to the "Magic Weapon Pavilion".
The exterior wall of this shop is inlaid with various models of Buddhist ritual implements, which gleam in the sunlight and attract attention.
Upon entering the shop, one is greeted by a dazzling array of magical artifacts, ranging from nimble flying swords and sharp magic knives to complex array plates and mysterious talismans.
The owner of the religious artifact shop was a middle-aged man who warmly welcomed Chu Tianyao.
"Esteemed guest, what kind of magical artifact do you require? Artifacts for the Qi Refining stage generally cost between five thousand and twenty thousand crystal stones, while those for the Foundation Establishment stage cost between sixty thousand and three hundred thousand crystal stones..."
Chu Tianyao didn't need these magical artifacts...
The Conquering Robe and Wind Chaser provided by the system are very useful. He bought them simply to feed them to the system in exchange for Dao Derivation Points.
Finally, after some haggling, Chu Tianyao purchased ten Qi-refining magic weapons for a total of 45,000 crystal stones.
After purchasing these items, Chu Tianyao returned to his residence at Honglou.
"This purchase cost 85,000 crystals in one go. Five thousand crystals were given to Lu Ningshuang and ten thousand crystals to Qin Hongjin... I've almost run out of crystals!"
"Fortunately, the 10,000 crystals given to Qin Hongjin included three months of accommodation and food at Honglou, so there will be no other expenses for the time being."
"But we still need to earn these crystals as soon as possible...after all, the system's rules state that resources are only rewarded at each major realm!"
"Currently, I'm only at the first level of Foundation Establishment. I'll need a lot more Dao Evolution Points to reach the first level of Golden Core..."
"Hmph... There's no point in thinking too much. Let's see how many Dao Points we can exchange for the elixirs and magical artifacts we bought this time."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao summoned the system.
"System, retrieve all ten Foundation Establishment stage cultivation pills and ten Qi Refining stage magic weapons."
"Boom! Cultivation pills and magic artifacts are being collected. Dao Points are being calculated. Please wait..."
"Boom! After confirmation... 8600 Dao Regeneration Points have been recovered."
"Boom! The current Dao Cultivation Points of 9310 are enough to advance your cultivation realm. 8000 Dao Cultivation Points will automatically be converted into cultivation realm..."
"Current realm is Foundation Establishment Level 5! (Each advancement in the Foundation Establishment realm requires 2000 Dao Evolution Points.) Remaining Dao Evolution Points: 1310."
Chu Tianyao slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a sharp light.
He clearly felt the changes in his body, rising from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the fifth level, almost a qualitative leap.
This is equivalent to leaping from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage...
Even for the most outstanding talents from major sects, this process takes three to five years.
Chu Tianyao achieved a leap of four minor realms almost instantly!
"System, please show me my current data panel!"
"Boom! Here is the host's attribute panel."
Name: Chu Tianyao
Age: 21
Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 5
Constitution: Yin-Yang Chaotic Body
"Techniques: Yin Yang Evolution Heaven Technique, Six Styles of Wind Slaying, Cloud Mist, Overlord's Barrier".

"Boom! The host's current realm is the fifth level of Foundation Establishment... According to the flow of energy in the Yin Yang Derivation Heaven Technique, you can obtain fifty Derivation Points every day."
"Note that the daily Dao Points gained are related to one's own cultivation level and the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment."
