Chapter 40: The Challenge
[System health scan complete. No physical abnormalities detected. Host's dizziness is likely the result of psychological suggestion.]"Are you genuinely this dense, or is it an act?" Ryan rolled his eyes at the notification.He took a breath and forced himself to think clearly.The situation was obvious now that he laid it out. Every skill and technique he'd acquired so far was high-grade.... which was great for combat, terrible for his wallet. High-grade meant high costs. And right now, his exchange coin balance was a devastating 3.5.It all came down to currency. It always came down to currency."System," Ryan said, "besides reading novels, what other ways are there to earn exchange coins?"[Dear host, in addition to extracting cultivation techniques and skills from novels, exchange coins can also be obtained by hunting spirits and ominous creatures. The amount rewarded scales with the target's level.][Additionally, rare materials and items of collectible value can be recycled for
Chapter 39: The System's True Cost
The two settled on the details, and after Ryan transferred a $30,000 deposit, the rusty iron sword was officially... nominally... his."Heh." Ryan closed his phone and leaned back with a grin. "Picking up treasures with my eyes closed. I'll be laughing in my sleep tonight."Then something clicked in the back of his mind."Oh right.... I never finished the third volume of 'King of Cultivation.'"He'd meant to read it right after buying it, but then came the trip to the black market with Danny and Rachel, the potions, the crash into bed, the awakening ceremony the next morning, the follow-up examination in the afternoon, Director Lee showing up in the evening, and then the whole online shopping spiral. The book had just... slipped through the cracks.Ryan walked over to his bookshelf and pulled out Volume Three of The King of the Immortal Cultivation World.He flipped to the title page."The Heavenly Emperor is reborn, and all bow low. The cultivation world trembles in unprecedented uph
Chapter 38: The Divine Iron Sword
"A divine iron sword? What on earth is that?"Curiosity got the better of Ryan, and he clicked on the user's profile.Turns out they were from Southern City... same as him. And right there on their homepage was a photo of the very sword they'd been raving about on the forum.It was... not impressive. The blade was rusty, chipped in several places, and looked like it had survived three wars and lost all of them. The design was ancient and bare-bones. Its only saving grace was the sword's surface... covered in intricate, mysterious runes that seemed almost out of place on such a battered piece of metal.The comment section had already devolved into chaos."Bro, you want $500,000 for this hunk of scrap? Are you insane?""If that sells for half a million, my grandma's kitchen knife is worth a billion.""Did you wander off a movie set? Take that thing to the antique market!""Here's five bucks. Use it to move to Western Province."+1 +1 +1...The post had gone viral in minutes, and the moc
Chapter 37: The Spirit Crystal Shopping
"Hmm... I think purchasing some resources to strengthen my physical quality will help improve things." Ryan said after thinking for a moment.There were also considerations involved. Firstly, he was not an Awakened individual and had no supernatural abilities. The only way to become stronger was through the system.Therefore, the cultivation methods that Mr. Hartwell just mentioned were actually not very effective for him.Looking at the current situation, the only things that could help him were the potions that improved his physical condition.Mr. Hartwell nodded and said. "That is right. Let us start with physical foundation. No matter what your supernatural ability is, you will not be at a disadvantage."Then Mr. Hartwell clicked on the website's Pharmaceuticals section.A wide variety of medicines were displayed, and their effects after use were also diverse."For improving physical quality, Iron Copper Spirit, Vajra Power Pill, and Steel Bone Paste these are all very good." Mr.
Chapter 36: The Training Path
Mr. Hartwell looked surprised. "I thought you knew. Look at the top right corner."Upon hearing this, Ryan finally saw the words "Awakened Level" at the top right corner of the website.Ryan frowned and said. "If that is the case, does it mean that Awakened-level users can only buy Awakened-level items and cannot buy items from higher-level users?"Ryan had not expected this restriction, and he was also somewhat worried about it.It was important to know that he was not an Awakened One. Strictly speaking, he was a cultivator.If a level requirement was mandatory here, Ryan would have no choice but to reluctantly use his father's account for now but what about the future.Mr. Hartwell shook his head and said. "That is not it. Only the forum is mandatory for level allocation. You can buy items freely, but the discounts vary. I set it up for convenience to show only Awakened-level products."After Mr. Hartwell explained, Ryan roughly understood how the website worked, and he also underst
Chapter 35: The Awakened Website
Director Lee once again praised Mrs. Hartwell's cooking skills and then prepared to leave.As the host, Mr. Hartwell naturally saw him off. The two long-lost classmates chatted for a while outside the door before the car engine's roaring sound started.Sometimes fate is just so unpredictable. Two once equally spirited and talented students—one now confined to this small town as an interesting yet scholarly professor, while the other achieved his ideals, although his initial values had more or less shifted.A moment later, a weary-looking Mr. Hartwell returned from outside, while Mrs. Hartwell was already in the kitchen washing the dishes.Mr. Hartwell walked straight to Ryan, who was sitting on the sofa staring blankly at the bank card with "a huge sum of money" on it."Tell me what happened." Mr. Hartwell said helplessly.Some things could be concealed from others, but as Ryan's father, he naturally needed to know the truth."Uh..." Ryan suddenly hesitated, facing the person who knew
