“Ding! The compensation gift pack has been used. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200 points.”
Jiang Xuan: “?????”
Jiang Xuan initially hoped that the System would be sensible and give him some life-saving or escape items, but this is what he gets?
But to say he’s disappointed isn’t entirely accurate.
After all, 200 points are still not too shabby.
Jiang Xuan glanced at the points store and noticed that those 0.1 discount items were gone.
With 200 points, he could only buy some low-tier pills.
In that case, the only option left is to use the points for a lottery draw.
The System’s one decent feature is that a single draw costs 10 points, and a 10-draw guarantees one good item from the points store.
So with 200 points, he could go for two rounds of 10 draws.
“System, same old rules, give me one wave of ten draws!”
“Ding! Consuming 100 points for a ten-draw.”
“Ding! The host’s ten-draw triggers a guarantee, you’re bound to get one item from the points store.”
“Ding! Ten-draw ends.”
“Give it another go!”
“Give it another go!”
……
“Teleportation Talisman 1 (Value: 800 points)”
Seeing that the first ten-draw yielded a teleportation talisman, Jiang Xuan furrowed his brows ever so slightly.
This scam of a thing is actually worth 800 points?
Jiang Xuan has a vivid memory of the teleportation talisman.
He once trusted the System’s products too much and ended up suffering a huge loss.
Back then, he confidently used the teleportation talisman, and poof! The talisman teleported, but he remained rooted to the spot.
Just thinking about that dark history makes Jiang Xuan a bit antsy.
“System, this teleportation talisman won’t just bolt on its own again, will it? If you keep screwing me over like this, I have the right to return it!”
“Ding! To the host, this teleportation talisman is a brand new product, and will absolutely not have the same malfunction as last time. Please rest assured while using it.”
After getting the System’s assurance, Jiang Xuan reluctantly put the teleportation talisman away, still half-believing it.
Then he said to the System:
“I still have 100 points, System. Give me another ten-draw.”
“Ding! Consuming 100 points for a ten-draw.”
“Ding! The host’s ten-draw triggers a guarantee, you’re bound to get one item from the points store.”
“Ding! Ten-draw ends.”
“Give it another go!”
“Give it another go!”
……
“Dragon Walk (Value: 1000 points) 1”
“Primordial Dragon Body Technique (Value: 8000 points) *1”
Jiang Xuan: “！！！！！！”
Seeing the last two items from the ten-draw made Jiang Xuan gasp.
He hit the jackpot!
It felt like an eternity, but at long last, after so many attempts at ten-draws, he finally got something good!
Trying to contain his excitement, Jiang Xuan hurriedly checked the details of these two treasures.
Dragon Walk: A body movement technique; when perfected, one moves like a dragon; speed is amazing; the exact rank of the technique is unknown.
Jiang Xuan nodded in satisfaction at the Dragon Walk description.
He needed a technique for dodging or escaping, and this was just the thing to cover his weaknesses.
Next, he slowly turned his gaze to the Primordial Dragon Body Technique.
Primordial Dragon Body Technique: A body refining method created by the True Dragon clan over ten thousand years ago.
The rank of this method is unknown, and other races wishing to cultivate it must provide a drop of a dragon’s heart’s bl**d to start the training properly.
Additionally, the higher the quality of the dragon’s heart’s bl**d used, the better the effect when cultivating the Primordial Dragon Body Technique.
As for dragons, the only one Jiang Xuan has seen was a fleeting Jiao dragon that got smacked down instantly.
That Jiao dragon isn’t even a proper dragon.
Clearly, dragons aren’t something a little nobody like him can run into.
At this point, the dragon body refining technique was merely fluff for Jiang Xuan.
Better throw it into the System’s space to collect dust.
After using up all his points, Jiang Xuan did manage to get a little something out of it.
After that, he focused his time on cultivation.
He wasn’t sure when Leng Wu Shuang would return, but all he could do was seize the opportunity to boost his own power.
He had it all planned out—when Leng Wu Shuang’s about to come back, he would use the teleportation talisman to sneak away.
Of course, right now, while Leng Wu Shuang was MIA, he didn’t have to waste time serving that Little Ancestor. This… this splendid cultivation spot is absolutely a must to take advantage of!
Just as Jiang Xuan was immersed in his training, the Imperial Palace exploded with chaos.
“What? The Emperor is missing?”
“Who did this? Too much! Are they trying to hog it all?”
“Apparently, the Empress was strolling with the Emperor in the back garden of the Imperial Palace when a powerful figure discreetly kidnapped him.”
“Yeah, it seems the Emperor said he was going to surprise the Empress and went off for a moment to pick some flowers.
After waiting a while and realizing the Emperor hadn’t come back, the Empress hurriedly went to check and only found a bunch of flower shreds on the ground, but the Emperor was nowhere to be seen.”
“No way, someone actually dared to lay hands on the Emperor! Can those people withstand the Empress’s wrath?”
“Alas… The Empress has ordered a lockdown of the entire Imperial City to search for the Emperor.
She’s even considering facing the trials of the first-generation ancestor to find him.”
“No way? It seems this incident has triggered a serious chain reaction!”
……
Soon, the entire Cold Light Dynasty learned that the gorgeous-looking Emperor was missing.
And the Empress, in her quest to find her beloved, entered a perilous trial of inheritance.
……
Half a month later, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, now at the peak of the Earth Martial Level Seven.
However, he ran into a rather severe problem.
To boost his strength, he had drained his entire fortune of several million spirit stones.
Now, he was completely out of cultivation resources.
Jiang Xuan muttered to himself:
“It’s time to leave here and earn some cultivation resources.”
