Chapter 1039 - 634: In Longyuan World, I’m Just a Small Piece of Garbage, Pay Me 50 to Hear My Plan_2
"Anyway, over the decades, although I haven’t cultivated day and night, my ability in the whole world is probably ranked at the level of several hundred thousand people."
"Several hundred thousand?!"
All three were stunned.
What kind of existence is the Longyuan World that Lu Lin belongs to, where an ordinary disciple ranked in the hundreds of thousands can easily overpower the first genius of Gufeng Town?
If those masters ranked in the top ten or top three appear, wouldn’t they be able to crush the whole Cang He World?
Impossible, impossible, Lu Lin must be exaggerating.
Everyone was chatting when Tan Cong suddenly remembered he came here for Huijin, and asked, "Lu Lin, do you still have Huijin on you? If you have some extra, can you sell me a piece? No need for six jin, even one jin would do."
"Of course I have Huijin. But I’d like to ask you, how is Huijin used? I’ve tried using Star Power and Soul Power to touch it, but nothing changed."
"Haha, Lu Lin, this is something you don’t know, right?"
Tan Cong laughed and explained the use of Huijin to him.
Huijin is a special metal with a peculiar energy inside that can help evolve one’s treasure.
Seeing that Lu Lin didn’t even know what a treasure is, Tan Cong explained its function to him.
Everyone in the Main World is born with a treasure within their body.
This treasure is infinitely useful; the stronger the cultivator’s ability, the higher their talent, their combat style—it’s all closely related to their treasure.
The stronger the treasure, the stronger the cultivator.
However, there’s a problem with the treasure: before a cultivator reaches the Altar Master level, they can’t actively use it at all.
They can only endlessly provide resources (Huijin) to it, and only when the treasure satisfies its growth will it give back some feedback to the cultivator.
In the Main World, although everyone has a treasure, only those above the Altar Master level can use it. Ordinary people are just considered providers for the treasure, not users.
Even Qi Wudi, who’s innately paired with a long sword, has an extremely rare and powerful attacking treasure. Their teacher heard this news and rushed from the big city to Gufeng Town to teach Qi Wudi’s class.
"So you mean, your cultivation is constrained by the treasure; if you can’t get enough Huijin, your treasure can’t level up. Is my understanding correct?"
"Basically correct. But beyond needing nurturing, the treasure also brings certain benefits to our bodies, allowing our Star Power, Spirit and Soul, and flesh power to slowly grow."
"Of course, the more Huijin is provided, the higher its quality, the greater the treasure’s function, and the more feedback it gives."
"Lu Lin, now you know, people from ordinary worlds can’t advance to the Gang Member Level because they don’t have a treasure inside them."
"And the purpose of Secret Methods and Secret Treasures is to fictitiously create an innate treasure, tricking the Cosmic Rules into thinking you have a treasure, allowing you to cultivate and fight."
"However, tricking the Cosmic Rules is extremely difficult, and as time passes, the Cosmic Rules will descend repeatedly, letting you experience the marvel of the treasure. At that moment, it’s a tough time for those cultivators using Secret Treasures and Secret Methods, as they must imbue the fictitious treasure with the true treasure’s power. If the power is insufficient, they must provide their own cultivation, ability, and lifespan to the treasure."
"As a result, initially using Secret Methods and Secret Treasures may seem assisted by God, but the longer it goes on, cultivators may desperately want to escape such constraints."
Lu Lin understood. Qi Wudi’s point was simple: with a treasure, one can cultivate; without one, using Secret Methods and Secret Treasures to deceive the rules will eventually drag one down until death.
He secretly felt relieved, grateful that he had not reached the Star Emperor limit and couldn’t fuse and refine the golden key; otherwise, he would never escape this burden in his lifetime.
"Alright, I get your point. In short, Huijin is extremely important to cultivators, right?"
"Yes!" The three replied in unison.
"Then it’s simple. Now, among your classmates, there probably aren’t many who have found Huijin, right?"
"Right!" The three nodded.
"Good. Since that’s the case, I have some Huijin here. How many of you came this time? I’ll see if there’s enough to sell."
"Sell?" The three couldn’t wrap their heads around it.
Huijin is such a rare cultivation essential material; in Cang He World and countless Main Worlds, no one chooses to sell Huijin.
"Indeed, otherwise I can’t use it, and so much Huijin lying here is just a waste."
"Lu Lin, how much Huijin do you have? I’ll buy some."
Tan Cong was the first to react.
"How much money do you have? I’ll sell you that much Huijin, but don’t bully me, an ordinary person."
Lu Lin said with a smile, and Tan Cong said he wouldn’t dare.
He opened his exclusive storage space and found about twenty thousand gold inside; this amount only buys a one-jin piece of Huijin.
He wanted to exchange some other materials with Lu Lin, but Lu Lin needed none of it.
He only wanted money.
After some back-and-forth, Lu Lin simply waved his hand, "Forget it, I’ll give you a deal, the smallest Huijin I have is this one, approximately one and a half jin, sold to you."
"Really?" Tan Cong was overjoyed, stuffing the twenty thousand gold into Lu Lin’s hands, laughing like a foolish son of a Landlord family as he held the one and a half jin Huijin.
Ma Lin was also tempted, but he already had a six-jin piece of Huijin from Lu Lin. He didn’t have much money, so he didn’t trouble Lu Lin further.
"Then I’ll buy a piece too, I have four hundred thousand gold with me."
Qi Wudi, as the first genius of Gufeng Town, had quite an income, and since he didn’t spend much usually, he directly took out four hundred thousand gold to purchase Huijin.
But Lu Lin refused.
"No need, Brother Wei, you are taking me to Cang He World; this favor, I, Lu Lin, remember. I’ll gift you a larger piece, no need for money."
Lu Lin didn’t give Qi Wudi a chance to refuse, he took out a piece of Huijin from his Storage Ring the size of a human head and weighed it in his hand, "This piece should be twelve to thirteen jin, for you to use."
"What!" Holding the Huijin the size of a human head, Qi Wudi was completely stunned.
He’s heard of larger Huijin, but hasn’t seen much.
Gufeng Town is, after all, just a small town, with limited resources.
But he heard that in big cities, a ten-jin piece of Huijin would be auctioned off, its price surging tenfold, twentyfold at the starting bid, and possibly fiftyfold at the final deal price.
This means the true value of this piece of Huijin might be over five million gold.
Of course, for people of Cang He World, the price isn’t an issue; many people have money, but such a large piece of Huijin is simply priceless and rare, impossible to find once every ten or twenty years.
Now, Lu Lin just casually handed it to him as a thank-you gift for taking him away from Mo Nan World.
If Lu Lin openly revealed he had such a large piece of Huijin, people might even dispatch special Passenger Flying Boats and a dozen or twenty maids and servants to serve him.
"I can’t, I can’t, Lu Lin, this gift is too much, I can’t accept it."
Though deeply desiring it, Qi Wudi still upheld his principles and couldn’t accept such a large piece of Huijin.
"It’s fine, Brother Wei, take it. If you ever need more, come find me. But of course, you’ll have to pay next time."
Lu Lin joked, seeing Qi Wudi wanting to say more, he quickly advised, "Brother Wei, this isn’t the focus. Put it away first. I have a plan, and I want you all to hear it."
"Oh."
Hearing that Lu Lin had a plan, Qi Wudi had no choice but to put away the piece of Huijin first. While doing so, his hands trembled slightly.
