#349 - The answer to 100 million mall points

The rumors circulating in the world flashed through Qin Buyi's mind.

Some of these rumors are true, some are false, and it's hard to tell which is which.

At least in Qin Buyi's view, in the ancient primordial world, there were definitely more than seven people with the strength of a Saint, including Hongjun.

If there were really only seven people, how would Qin Buyi explain the images he saw in the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court?

The Chaos Gods fought against Haotian, and in the end, Haotian cleaved through the myriad worlds with a single strike. This level of strength is unfathomable. How could a Quasi-Saint who hasn't reached the Saint stage accomplish this?

The events of the ancient primordial world are like mysteries. After so long, the rumors that have survived, Qin Buyi feels, have basically deviated from the truth.

There are many factors as to why they deviated from the truth...

These doubts and truths about the ancient primordial world can only be revealed one by one when Qin Buyi's cultivation level rises.

Now, Qin Buyi, who hasn't even reached the Immortal realm, is not qualified to touch these secrets.

If he forcibly tries to uncover them, it would be like courting death, a foolish and reckless act.

Even if Honglian, who has experienced almost all the major moments in the ancient primordial world, is right in front of him, Qin Buyi wouldn't ask.

With insufficient strength, attempting to learn secrets that don't match one's level will only bring endless trouble and death.

Speaking of which, even if he took the initiative to ask Honglian, it's obvious that Honglian wouldn't tell him these secrets.

Qin Buyi said to Honglian: "You said it directly points to the Dao Integration realm, does that mean the Killing Life Blade Technique is a Saint-level technique?"

Honglian shook her head and pointed upwards with a finger as white as mutton jade.

With Honglian's gesture, a storm raged in Qin Buyi's heart.

Honglian's implication was that the Killing Life Blade Technique doesn't belong to the Saint level... but exceeds the Saint level!

This implication was a bit terrifying, and Qin Buyi was caught in a complex emotion for a moment.

In this emotion, there was ecstasy and joy, but also a sense of confusion and bewilderment towards the unknown.

The Saint level was already far beyond Qin Buyi's scope of understanding.

Within Qin Buyi's scope of understanding, his knowledge of Saints was limited to the secret rumors that have been passed down and the word 'Saint' itself.

He knew nothing about the methods and power of Saints.

Now that Honglian pointed upwards, Qin Buyi doesn't even understand the Saint level, let alone the level above Saints.

Qin Buyi didn't continue to ask about Honglian's hint and implication.

With his current cultivation level, asking would be in vain. It was already very good that Honglian could tell him this much.

If he were to be insatiable and ask for more, it would only make Qin Buyi appear too greedy in front of Honglian.

Doing so would not only fail to get what he wanted but would also cause Honglian's goodwill towards Qin Buyi to decline.

Of course, Qin Buyi wouldn't be foolish enough to do that.

After a pause, Qin Buyi asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Honglian, do you think it's possible for me to break through to the Saint realm?"

Honglian looked at Qin Buyi with an even stranger expression and asked in return: "Qin Buyi, why do you think you can't break through to the Saint realm?"

"Uh... that's right!" Qin Buyi said awkwardly.

Honglian was right. Qin Buyi asked that question earlier only because the Saint stage was far beyond his understanding, coupled with various rumors, which made him a little confused.

Now, after receiving Honglian's rhetorical question, which seemed not to answer Qin Buyi's question, it actually answered the question perfectly.

The doubts in Qin Buyi's heart disappeared in an instant.

Regarding his path to becoming a Saint, Qin Buyi already had some clues in his mind.

These clues were exactly what Qin Buyi sensed instinctively after his cultivation broke through to the Half-Immortal realm.

Since Qin Buyi began cultivating, there hasn't been a trace of spiritual power in his body.

However, with the help of the system, the attributes of his body are exceptionally strong. With the power of the system, it could push the attributes of his body to the extreme of the same level, so adding spiritual power wouldn't be a problem.

But for some reason, Qin Buyi's body doesn't produce a trace of spiritual power, and he relies entirely on physical strength in daily combat.

However, apart from the lack of spiritual power, Qin Buyi's body is exceptionally strong, especially after obtaining the Eighty-Nine Arcane Art, his physical strength has reached a point where others of the same level can only look at his back.

Once, when Qin Buyi's cultivation was insufficient, he asked the system this question.

The system said at the time that it would cost 100 million mall points to answer this question.

The 100 million mall points scared Qin Buyi away at the time.

Not to mention that Qin Buyi's cultivation was still very low at the time, even now, the 100 million mall points are still an astronomical figure for Qin Buyi.

Killing a Half-Immortal realm expert can earn an average of 200,000 to 400,000 mall points. Taking an intermediate value of 300,000, it would still require killing 333 Half-Immortal realm experts to obtain.

This 300,000 is still under an ideal value. If we follow the actual situation, it may require killing four to five hundred Half-Immortal realm experts to obtain so many mall points.

If you really want to get so many points, you need to face two problems.

The first is, where can you find so many Half-Immortal realm experts for Qin Buyi to kill? Around the Great Ming Dynasty, at most, only a few neighboring force leaders are Half-Immortal realm experts.

To take a step back, even if you include the forces ruled by the Heavenly Dou Sect, there are only dozens of dynasties, adding up to only dozens of Half-Immortal realm experts, not even a fraction.

Moreover, even if they can be found, as the number of Half-Immortal realm experts killed by Qin Buyi increases.

These people are not big radishes, allowing Qin Buyi to chop them down at will, they will definitely join hands.

It is true that Qin Buyi's combat power is heaven-defying, but if hundreds of Half-Immortal realm experts join hands.

Even a Dragon Gate realm expert would turn around and run away when they see that power, let alone him.

The second is that Qin Buyi is not a saint, but he is definitely not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. If others have no past grievances or recent hatred with him, and he just relies on his own strong combat power to kill them, that is already a demonic act.

Qin Buyi has his own bottom line and principles in his heart, at least for this kind of demonic behavior, he still disdains to do it.

Speaking of which, the system did not explain this question to Qin Buyi at the time due to his cultivation level.

Now, as Qin Buyi's cultivation level increases, he already has an answer to this question in his heart.

The biggest difference between him and other cultivators is that there is not a trace of spiritual power in his body, and his physical body is strong...

Adding these factors together perfectly matches one of the three paths to proving the Dao.

An answer is about to emerge in Qin Buyi's heart, and that is to prove the Dao with strength!

Only the strong who take the path of proving the Dao with strength will not produce a trace of spiritual power in their bodies.

Because they have to resist the oppression and backlash from all directions when proving the Dao, a strong physical body is essential.

The question that has been troubling Qin Buyi since he first entered the ranks of cultivators finally has an answer after he broke through to the Half-Immortal realm.

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Qin Buyi's face, and he thought to himself:

"Without spending 100 million mall points to ask the system, I solved this problem worth 100 million mall points myself."

"Rounding it off, I have earned 100 million mall points."

For a time, Qin Buyi couldn't help but feel a little elated.
