"Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"
“That price doesn’t even scratch the surface of my value,” Alex replied with a wink.
“But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I’ll offer a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?”
Alex chuckled inwardly.

Alex stepped back into his hut after leaving the library, closing the door behind him with a quiet thud. The silence wrapped around him, but his mind refused to rest.Three months.That was all the time he had.And it wasn’t enough.There were still too many techniques, too many fragments of martial knowledge buried in the library that he hadn’t even touched yet. If he tried to learn everything the normal way, he would fall behind—far behind.His gaze hardened.There was only one way.“The fastest path… is through sleep. Through meditation.”When the mind slips into a dreamlike state, time bends.Three months in the real world… could become thirty months inside the dream.A faint breath escaped his lips as the thought settled in.“I have to survive.”“I’m not dying here.”Not in a place where countless others were stronger than him. Not when he hadn’t even begun to climb.“I won’t be distracted. And no one… will be allowed to distract me.”With that, Alex reached into his storage and

Alex’s gaze locked onto Han Fei, both of his arms were gone.Blood soaked his robes, but it wasn’t pouring anymore. One of his companions had already struck several pressure points along his shoulders, sealing the flow.Another disciple knelt nearby, carefully holding the severed arms, channeling inner energy into them, preserving what life remained in the flesh.They all knew—if treated fast enough, the arms could still be reattached.Silence hung heavy in the air.Then Alex moved.“You,” he said, pointing at a nearby disciple. “Give me your disciple medallion.”The disciple froze, fear flashing across his face. “I—I don’t have enough merit points,” he stammered. “Please… don’t take mine…”Alex let out a cold, humorless laugh. “Who said anything about taking it from you?”The tension broke—but only slightly.“I heard it costs one thousand merit points to reattach a single arm,” Alex continued, his tone flat, almost indifferent.“I’ll pay two thousand to have both his arms treated,” A

Outside the second-floor library, the old man stood frozen.For decades, those problems had hung on the wall—untouched, unanswered, almost forgotten. Yet now, one after another, they were being solved.By a single young man.Jun Jiu.The old man’s eyes trembled as they scanned the answers on the paper. Each line was clear. Precise. Flawless.His hands began to shake.His breathing turned uneven.Impossible…Yet the truth was right in front of him.This… this is impossible.A surge of excitement hit him so hard he nearly stepped forward.I have to take him as my disciple.The words burned in his throat. He wanted to shout them. To grab Alex by the shoulder and drag him away if he had to.“He is incredible! He must become my disciple!”But he didn’t move.A promise held him back.The sect leaders wanted this young man—so he had no choice but to step aside.The old man clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.To hell with promises.“I want him,” he muttered under his breath.Witho

Alex stood inside the quiet library of the Medicine Pavilion.At a wooden table near the entrance sat an elder, deep in meditation. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow and steady, as if the outside world didn’t exist.Alex walked up to him and spoke respectfully.“Honorable Elder,” Alex said respectfully, bowing slightly. “I would like to access the second floor using my merit points.The elder didn’t open his eyes.“Place your medallion on the table. One day on the second floor costs one thousand merit points. When the points run out, someone will escort you out.”“Thank you,” Alex said with a slight bow.He placed his medallion on the table, then turned and walked toward the staircase.Usually, a faint energy barrier blocked the path to the second floor, refusing him entry no matter how close he got.But this time, the barrier parted silently.Alex climbed the stairs.When he reached the second floor, the difference was immediately clear.The space was far smaller than the firs

Guo Mingxuan’s hands even began to tremble.He had to resist the urge to break open one of the ginseng roots just to inspect the inside.Before he could do anything, Elder Hou suddenly strode forward.With a casual wave of his sleeve—A powerful gust of energy exploded outward.Li Tianyu and Guo Mingxuan were instantly sent tumbling several meters away.Elder Hou then stepped forward and stood directly in front of the massive roots, staring at them with wide eyes.After a long moment, he inhaled sharply.“Th-this…”His voice trembled.“This really is Earth spirit ginseng!!”For a moment, the surrounding Outer Sect disciples stood frozen in shock.Then the entire courtyard erupted into chaos.“Earth spirit ginseng!!”“I can’t believe those giant roots are actually Earth spirit ginseng!!”“How is that even possible?!”“How could Earth spirit ginseng grow this big?!”“Those roots are long!”“As big as an adult human body. Th-that’s… ginseng?!”The noise of the crowd grew even louder as p

“Disciple Guo Mingxuan has also cultivated Earth Spirit Ginseng.”A long-faced young man with narrow eyes stepped out from the crowd.As he walked forward, his gaze slid toward Li Tianyu with open disdain.The moment the surrounding disciples recognized him, the entire crowd stirred with excitement.“It’s Elder Brother Guo Mingxuan!”“I heard Elder Brother Guo’s skill with spirit herbs is just as strong as Li Tianyu’s!”“That’s right. They’re always ranked first and second on Thousand Herbs Peak!”The atmosphere instantly changed.The disciples shifted their attention between the two men, sensing that something interesting was about to happen.“Well, well… now we’ll get to see them compete.”“They’ve been rivals for years.”“Both of them want the title of number one spirit herb cult
