Ruan Xiyan thanked him and handed over the top-grade spirit stone. She put away the meteorite crystal and walked towards the inner city of Yu City, a thoughtful look on her face.
One meteorite crystal costs eight top-grade spirit stones. The expenses in the Nine Provinces Continent are truly extraordinary. The total number of top-grade spirit stones she brought from the cultivation continent was less than a thousand.
After all, veins of top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare, and the amount of top-grade spirit stones that can be mined is also very small.
It seems she needs to find a way to earn some top-grade spirit stones, otherwise the little bit she has won't last more than a few days.
However, top-grade spirit stones on the Nine Provinces Continent should be easier to earn than on the Cultivation Continent.
As Ruan Xiyan pondered how to earn top-grade spirit stones, she unknowingly entered the inner city of Yu City.
The inner city was more than a hundred times more prosperous than the outer city, and people with the strength of Immortal Saints could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Apart from those who ascended from different continents, everyone else on the Nine Provinces Continent is a person who has lived on the Nine Provinces Continent for generations. It is said that because the Nine Provinces Continent is filled with rich spiritual energy, they can reach the extraordinary realm of strength from birth.
In races with superior bloodlines like the gods, some exceptionally talented children are born with the strength of a pseudo-immortal.
Whether it's the gods of the Nine Provinces or other races living here, they have long been bathed in divine power, receiving its subtle nourishment.
Their strength increased more easily when breaking through to the Immortal Saint Realm and transforming the spiritual energy within their bodies into divine power.
However, those who ascended from the underground continent were not so lucky; it was not something that could be done overnight for them to transform spiritual energy into divine power.
Although they have come to the Nine Provinces Continent, if they cannot successfully transform the spiritual energy in their bodies into divine power, they will remain forever in the Immortal Saint Realm and will find it difficult to take another step forward.
On the continent of Kyushu, those at the level of immortals and saints are everywhere, and those at the immortal and saint level are like lambs to the slaughter.
Now that Ruan Xiyan's strength has reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal Saint Realm, she must learn to transform spiritual power into divine power in order to break through that barrier.
She examined the demonic energy accumulated within her body. Her situation was somewhat special; she wanted to break through to the Great Perfection of the Immortal Saint Realm, and perhaps she would need the help of demonic energy.
The energy of heaven and earth in the Nine Provinces contains spiritual energy, divine power, and of course, demonic energy.
Spiritual energy makes up the majority of the energy; only by extracting and comprehending a trace of divine power from the vast spiritual energy can one obtain it. The same applies to demonic energy.
She could sense the faint and thin demonic energy around her. There was very little demonic energy here. The place with the most abundant demonic energy should be the Demon Realm, just as the place with the most abundant divine power is the God Realm where the gods live.
"Don't miss it, come and take a look!" A lively voice came from ahead, interrupting Ruan Xiyan's thoughts.
Ruan Xiyan looked up and saw a man with striking long purple hair standing on a high platform on the main street of the inner city.
The man he was fighting was burly and strong, with boundless energy.
The two engaged in close combat on the high platform, neither using any spiritual power, relying solely on their physical strength.
There was a servant-like man standing below the platform; the voice just now came from him.
He was still shouting to passersby, holding a long wooden sign with words engraved on it that read "Earn Spirit Stones!"
"Come and see! Earn top-grade spirit stones through close combat without using spiritual power!"
"Anyone who signs up to participate in the fight will receive one hundred top-grade spirit stones, while the one who defeats our young master will receive one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones."
"Top-grade spirit stones for free! This is an incredible opportunity! Don't miss it!"
Some people were used to it and left without looking at it, while others stopped and lingered out of curiosity.
"Where did this spendthrift come from? He's so rich and capricious. Just go up and fight him, and you can get a hundred top-grade spirit stones. If he keeps squandering like this, he could lose all those top-grade spirit stones."
"Besides, this man doesn't look very old. With so many people coming and going, how can he guarantee he won't lose?" someone said, puzzled. "If he loses a match, he'll lose 100,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones is something an ordinary person might not be able to earn in two or three years."
A knowledgeable person nearby smiled and explained, "You must have just arrived in Chongqing recently. This man has been setting up this platform for martial arts competitions for a month now."
"Judging from his lavish spending, his family must be quite wealthy. Moreover, the fact that he could set up a high platform for martial arts competitions on the most bustling main street in the inner city of Chongqing for a whole month without anyone interfering means he definitely has some connections."
"Although the origins of this wealthy young master are unknown, countless people have challenged him to a duel over the past month, and he has indeed never lost a single match."
"Those who went to fight him were all people of similar strength. After all, real experts and masters are not short of top-grade spirit stones, and they don't have time to go up and play such trivial games with him."
"Even so, to have never been defeated in a month is already quite impressive. He can even fight opponents of higher levels, and some people who are stronger than him have been defeated by him."
"This guy is a complete monster, like an unkillable cockroach. Once he was seriously injured, but the power he unleashed was even stronger."
"He launched a direct counterattack, knocked his opponent out, and won the battle. Over time, everyone lost hope of defeating him and getting 100,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"However, the reward of one hundred top-grade spirit stones still attracted a steady stream of people to go up and fight. One hundred top-grade spirit stones is not a lot, but it is still money."
"As long as you go up and compete, you can get a hundred top-grade spirit stones. Everyone who goes up to compete is aiming for those hundred top-grade spirit stones."
Ruan Xiyan, who was in the crowd, heard the entire conversation between the two.
It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy. She was just thinking about how to earn top-grade spirit stones, and now that these top-grade spirit stones were being handed to her, she figured she might as well take them.
One hundred top-grade spirit stones are too few; if you're going to make money, you should make a big one.
One hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, she's here! Ruan Xiyan's eyes lit up.
She looked at the purple-haired man on the high platform. He didn't use spiritual power; he fought solely with physical strength. His physical strength was very strong.
However, on the continent of Kyushu, those who can draw divine power into their bodies have already developed powerful divine bodies, and the difference in physical strength between these divine bodies is not significant.
If that's all, it's not enough to explain why he's been undefeated for a month. There must be something unusual about this man.
The battle on the platform ended quickly, and undeniably, the burly man on the other side was kicked off the platform.
