"350 thousand..."
After Ye Xuan returned home and pondered over what to do with the money for a moment, he switched on his Combat Watch, logged into the online shopping mall, and found a local Warrior's Shop.
Next, he immediately spent 300 thousand dollars on a bottle of Energy Pills.
Delivery was usually very fast if the item you were purchasing was from the same city you lived in.
Almost half an hour after he placed the order, the Energy Pills he bought were delivered to his place.
Ye Xuan felt an inexplicable feeling when he got the bottle of Energy Pills.
He remembered the incident that had taken place a week ago, when he'd sold the bottle of Energy Pills that his cousin had given him in order to help Lil Wan evolve.
And now, in just a week's time, he'd made 350 thousand dollars by relying on his own capabilities alone.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and mumbled to himself."With these Energy Pills, plus my current Warrior Aptitude Level, I should be able to become a Dark Iron Warrior in no time."
In fact, he wasn't too concerned about his Warrior level.
However, increasing one's strength and being better able to protect oneself was always a good thing.
Apart from that, if a Beast Tamer improved his warrior level, he could, to a certain extent, widen his spirit ocean.
If he accomplished this, then, coupled with the Reverse Nurturing provided by his beasts, he could become a Dark Iron Beast Tamer even quicker.
With that in mind, Ye Xuan opened up the bottle of pills, took out an Energy Pill, and swallowed it.
And started practicing the Honing Fist in his room.
"Too bad my room is too small. Otherwise, I'd let Tyrannosaur out and have him train too."
As practiced the fist technique, he glanced at Lil Wan, who was close by, exercising her Mind Energy, and thought to himself.
Because his room was too small, before he'd gone home, he'd moved Tyrannosaur into his Beast Ring.
The interior of the Beast Ring may be massive, but it wasn't suitable for training.
This was because a powerful beast like Tyrannosaur would affect the Beast Ring's life cycle should it unleash its full might.
With time, it wasn't impossible for Tyrannosaur to destroy the space inside the Beast Ring and end up plummeting into the turbulence of space.
"That was so tiring." Half an hour later, Ye Xuan, who was drenched in sweat, finally stopped training.
Subsequently, he took a breather for a moment, had a quick shower, and lay down on his bed.
But before he fell asleep, he prompted his mind and composed a message, which he sent to Chai Chang, his friend since childhood.
...
"Dad, mom, I'm leaving."
The next morning, after Ye Xuan got out of bed and finished breakfast, he immediately bid farewell to his parents and quickly walked out of the house.
Chai Chang was standing at the gates of the community. When he saw Ye Xuan walking out, he rubbed his still sleepy eyes and asked, "Ye Xuan, why did you want me to wait for you here so early in the morning?
Last night, he'd heard his parents mention Ye Xuan umpteen times.
Being overly motivated, he'd gone a little too far in his cultivation, and was still exhausted.
"For something great, obviously."
Ye Xuan flipped over his hand, revealing a bottle of pills, which he then tossed to Chai Chang."Take these, " he said."They're energy pills."
Chai Chang subconsciously took the bottle of pills."What do you mean, Ye Xuan?" he asked, shocked.
However, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he quickly came back to his senses.
Three Energy Pills were worth nearly 100 thousand dollars.
"What do I mean?" Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "It's been a while since you became a Top-Level Apprentice. With these Energy Pills, you should be able to become a Dark Iron Warrior really soon and get admitted into a great university for Warriors.
"Besides, I'm lending you these. You have to pay me back once you start making some money. Of course, if you don't want them, you can give them back to me."
"I..." Chai Chang stuttered for a moment and then yelled, "What the f*ck? You wanna take back something that's already in my hands? No f*ckin way!"
Ye Xuan immediately smiled.
In fact, at present, 100 thousand dollars was by no means a small sum of money for him.
But now, there were less than two months before the College Entrance Examination.
These two months were obviously much more important to Chai Chang.
As for him...
Even if he had an extra 100 thousand dollars in his hands right now, it wouldn't do much for him.
What he was lacking wasn't 100 thousand dollars: it was even more.
In addition, he conjectured that with his current Warrior Aptitude Level, the few Energy Pills he had left should be enough to assist him in becoming a Dark Iron Level Warrior.
Squeak!
As Ye Xuan and Chai Chang exchanged a few words at the gates of the community, a burgundy-colored roadster suddenly drove in from a distance.
And with a squeak, it stopped in front of the two.
In the driver's seat, Lin Shiru, who was oozing coolness, turned her head to look at Ye Xuan and said, "Get in the car."
"Alright, Miss Lin."
Ye Xuan waved goodbye to Chai Chang, then hurriedly walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and hopped in.
Boom!
The very next moment, after Ye Xuan finished buckling his seat belt, the roadster boomed away like a wild horse.
"Oh, my, gosh!"
After seeing Ye Xuan be picked up by the gorgeous Lin Shiru and leave in such a cool way, Chai Chang wasn't able to calm down for a very long time.
...
On the road, Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask Lin Shiru again, "Miss Lin, where exactly are you taking me?"
Lin Shiru glanced at Ye Xuan and said, "To where you say? Your Ancient Wood Elf has reached a critical point in leveling up. So, this time, I'll first take you to Jiangzhou University, where I'll help your Ancient Wood Elf advance to the Top Apprentice Level.
"That won't take long. At most a half a day's time.
"If luck is on your side, your Ancient Wood Elf might be able to level up.
"When that happens, sometime today, I'll take you to the Cangzhou Prefecture to an Inherited Secret Realm that belongs to Cangzhou University.
"That is the best place for you to level up your Tyrannosaurus. Besides, based on your performance, you might get some extra goodies out of it."
???
Ye Xuan was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.
They were going to go to Jiangzhou University and then Cangzhou University within a day's time? Was she joking with him?
There was a total of nine provinces and 365 prefectures in the Country of Xia.
Each prefecture was over 9 million square kilometers in size.
Yunhai City, which was where he lived, belonged to Yuntian Province of Jiangzhou Prefecture.
While the Yuntian Province was located at the eastern edges of Jiangzhou.
As for Cangzhou, it was due west of Jiangzhou.
And between Cangzhou and Jiangzhou, there was the prefecture of Qingzhou.
They would have to venture across that far of a distance within a day's time?
Ye Xuan literally could not believe his own ears.
One had to know that in this era, there were monsters everywhere in the wild.
Especially flying-type monsters, which were all extremely powerful.
For that reason, no one dares to use vehicles like airplanes and whatnot.
All of a sudden, Ye Xuan's heart mildly fluttered."Could it be that Miss Lin has an extremely fast flying-type beast?" he thought.
Creak!
Just as this thought came to his mind, Lin Shiru abruptly stopped the car after driving into a deserted area.
Immediately, Lin Shiru told Ye Xuan, "Get out. This place will do." Then, she stepped out of the car.
Slightly taken aback, Ye Xuan quickly did what Lin Shiru told him and got out of the car.
When he got out of the car, Lin Shiru waved her hand and relocated the red roadster on the ground into the Beast Ring she was wearing.
The Beast Ring she was wearing on her hand showed a faint silver brilliance, which complemented her incomparably fair fingers. It looked very beautiful.
Of course, that wasn't the point.
The point was that after Lin Shiru put away her roadster, she waved her hand again, and a big verdant tree that was tens of meters tall suddenly appeared behind her.
Its canopy covered the sun like an umbrella.
Keeping both her and Ye Xuan underneath its shade.
When Ye Xuan looked at the big tree, he felt the attribute panel in his mind move slightly, and he subconsciously diverted his attention to look at it.
[Sacred Divine Wood (Space Element / Wood Element)
Level: Platinum (Pinnacle)
Grade: ☆☆☆☆
Ability: Seed of the Void, Space Tunnel (Fixed Point), Divine Enchantment, Divine Wood Army... ]
Ye Xuan's mouth dropped wide open in astonishment as he looked over the panel."Four-star platinum grade beast of both the Space and Wood Element?"
At that moment, Lin Shiru introduced the tree to Ye Xuan."I miraculously got it during an encounter a few years ago. A four-star Platinum-Level Sacred Divine Wood of the Space and Wood Element with great potential. With it, we can go to Jiangzhou University and Cangzhou University at the fastest possible speed.
"Another thing." At this point, Lin Shiru glanced at Ye Xuan and said, "In the secret location where I acquired the Sacred Divine Wood, there's a Gold-Level seedling from another Sacred Divine Wood. I've also brought that seedling out with me.
"If you perform well in the future and advance to the Gold or Platinum level, provided your Mind Energy is powerful enough to handle it, I won't mind gifting it to you."
Gold Level Sacred Divine Wood Seedling?
Ye Xuan was shocked.
Rustle.
But at that moment, an entire slew of emerald green branches suddenly descended from the Sacred Divine Wood, covering both Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru.
Like a strange, airtight treehouse, it separated the two from the outside world.
