Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 181 Treasure Selection
"."

The gentle voice seemed to pause for a moment before continuing to echo in the ancient side hall:

"60 Black Dragon Armor pieces, 60 Heavenly Warrior Armor pieces, and 61 sets of Ghost Moon Fangs can be contributed to the clan to obtain 48410 Treasure Points. Qi Yuan, are you willing to offer these treasures to the clan?"

"I am willing to dedicate myself to my people!"

The Shangqing clone spoke without hesitation.

"Om~~~"

Under the influence of an invisible force, the mountain of precious armor and spears quickly fell into the space beneath the stone platform.

At the same time, a large sum of valuable points was deposited into a newly opened special 'account' that was bound to his consciousness.

Adding to the two treasures he contributed separately before, the number of treasure points in his account has accumulated to an astonishing 48556!
48556 treasure points, what does that even mean!
Normally, even the most ordinary treasure is only worth 1 treasure point.

48556 Treasure Points are enough to buy tens of thousands of the most common Treasures!

Even if converted to Treasure Points, based on the current exchange rate, 1 Treasure Point can be exchanged for 3220 Heavy Treasure Points.

48556 Treasure Points are enough to exchange for 15 Supreme Treasure Points with a little left over!
Don't underestimate 15 treasure points!
In the original work, the tragic Venerable Qian Wu, as the ancient ruler who created a cosmic kingdom, lived for countless epochs.

As a result, a debt of just over 3 or less than 4 Treasure Points has been weighed down for billions of years, leaving them unable to lift their heads.

This demonstrates just how astonishing the purchasing power of Treasure Points is!
A regular Arcana item costs around 1-2 Arcana Points. 15 Arcana Points can be exchanged for almost ten regular Arcana items!
Even among the universe's overlords, only the extremely wealthy among them could possibly amass such a massive fortune!
To acquire such a substantial fortune, Qi Yuan's actual sacrifices were merely three decent treasures and three months of system refund opportunities.
"We still need to train our disciples as soon as possible. Even the Heavenly King, who has the highest return rate, only gets 60 times the reward from those controlled alien soul slaves. How can that compare to the thousands of times the return reward that normal disciples receive!"

"Furthermore, when giving treasures to regular disciples, the critical hit multiplier will increase the quality of the rewards, making them more likely to bring surprises!"

Qi Yuan Shangqing clone sighed inwardly with a slight sense of dissatisfaction before looking at the huge gray list floating in mid-air above the ancient side hall.

Now that our wallets are fuller, it's time to spend!
The huge form had four categories: Treasures, Valuable Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources...

"Let's look at the most precious treasures first," said the Shangqing clone.

Wow!
Immediately, the form changed, and a large number of treasure exchange options appeared.

The entire category of supreme treasures is further divided into five categories: 'common supreme treasures', 'high-grade supreme treasures', 'top-grade supreme treasures', 'peak supreme treasures', and 'ultimate supreme treasures'.

However, with Qi Yuan's current access level, he can only see the lowest-level 'Common Treasures' section.

As for those treasures of the highest grade and above, he wasn't even qualified to look at them!
"My current access level is not even comparable to Luo Feng's during his immortal era. I remember he could at least see treasures at the 'High-Grade Treasure' level."

"That's true. He is a disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, and he also demonstrated combat power comparable to a powerful Universe Venerable. It's normal for him to have high authority."

Shang Qing silently sighed a few times before continuing to look at the huge list.

The list of treasures wasn't very long, and Shangqing's clone quickly scanned it, soon getting a grasp of the prices of the treasures.

Among the many common treasures, melee weapons are the cheapest, with prices ranging from 0.8 to 2.6 treasure points.

The price of psychic weapons is slightly higher, but the difference is still quite limited, ranging from approximately 1.2 to 3.6 treasure points.

The price of a common Arcana Armor ranges from 1.5 to 6.2 Arcana Points.

But when it comes to those special kinds of treasures, the price is extraordinary!

The cheapest of all realm-class treasures, 'Nine Rivers', is worth 16 treasure points, which is far beyond Qi Yuan's current purchasing power. The most expensive one can reach a sky-high price of 80 treasure points!

Palace-type and Soul-type Arcana items are also equally expensive.

A common Arcana item of the Flying Palace type costs between 18 and 80 Arcana Points.

A single ordinary Soul-type Treasure can fetch an astonishing price of 36-120 Treasure Points!
In other words, one Soul-type Treasure is enough to buy dozens or even hundreds of the most common melee weapon treasures!
As Qi Yuan browsed, he also quickly pondered in his mind—

"My current authority only allows me to exchange for common treasures, but common treasures offer very limited help to me and can only serve as a temporary measure. It would be better to see if there are any treasures with lower usage requirements, which I can then easily resell to my disciples."

With that in mind, he began to carefully select his disciples. Among his current group of disciples, the one with the fastest cultivation speed was naturally his sixth disciple, Long Ji, who had possessed the body of the 'Time-Soothing Insect'.

Thanks to the powerful talent of the Time-Scraping Insect, he was already cultivating very quickly, and he also stayed in Chaos City for more than two thousand years with the Taiqing clone.

The unique environment of Chaos City, coupled with the 'educating' ability of Taiqing's clone, allowed him to progress extremely quickly in his understanding of the laws.

Before leaving Chaos City for the extraterrestrial battlefield, he was already close to being able to pass through the 15th level of the Sky Bridge.

Now, several hundred years later, in that paradise-like place called the extraterrestrial battlefield, his strength has improved rapidly.

Based on what he recently asked me, I estimate that getting through the 16th floor of the Sky Bridge shouldn't be a problem.

The requirements for activating treasures such as precious treasures and supreme treasures vary depending on the crafting method and the power they possess.

To perfectly activate some powerful treasures, one may need to fully comprehend a particular branch of the laws of time or space.

However, some treasures with simpler requirements may only require some understanding of certain minor categories of the laws of time and space, or even a deep understanding of the lower-level laws, to be initially activated.

"The Time-Swept Insect has a powerful soul, but its physical defense is a bit weak. Let's see if there's any suitable Supreme Armor available."

Qi Yuan quickly flipped through the pages, and information about one precious battle armor after another appeared before his eyes.

"The Nine-Tailed Divine Armor requires a complete understanding of the 'seal' of the spatial laws and mastery of the fundamental laws of water to activate its first form? It's not suitable!"

"The Heavenly Light Armor requires complete mastery of the 'Time Acceleration' branch to activate its first form, and even mastery of the fundamental laws of light is not enough!"

"The Wind-Dwelling Divine Armor requires reaching an extremely high level of mastery in time acceleration and comprehending the complete fundamental laws of wind to activate its first form."

Qi Yuan examined and selected items one by one, and quickly locked onto his target—

To activate the first form of Lu Hao's Divine Armor, one must comprehend both the 'time acceleration' and 'time deceleration' aspects!

"This looks good!"

Qi Yuan began to examine the information about Lu Hao's divine armor in detail.

The Lu Hao Divine Armor has three forms. Within the range that the Lu Hao Divine Armor can withstand, the first form can reduce the physical attack to one percent, the second form can reduce the physical attack to one-thousandth, and the third form can reduce the physical attack to one ten-thousandth.

The three forms represent the standard level of a typical Supreme Treasure Armor.

Moreover, activating the first form only requires a certain understanding of time acceleration and time deceleration, without requiring complete mastery of a branch, making it relatively user-friendly.

Based on Long Ji's current understanding of the laws, he probably has a chance to barely activate the first form of Lu Hao's Divine Armor!
"Lu Hao Divine Armor, it costs 4.6 Treasure Points to exchange? Not too much, I'll exchange it!"

With a wave of his hand, Shangqing's clone directly exchanged the Lu Hao Divine Armor for his own.

"I'll exchange for another supreme divine sword for myself. I can't afford a domain-type supreme treasure, so I'll just find a top-tier domain-type heavy treasure to make do with for now."

The Shangqing clone kept selecting from the huge list and quickly exchanged for the required treasures!
The divine sword 'Floating Light', which combines time and space attributes, cost 2.5 Treasure Points to exchange.

One piece of Lu Hao Divine Armor cost 4.6 Treasure Points to exchange.

The top-tier domain-class treasure, 'Thousand Star Realm', cost 3.6 Treasure Points to exchange.

The top-tier palace-type treasure, 'Yuanguang Tower', cost 3.9 Treasure Points to exchange.

The four treasures cost a total of 14.6 Treasure Points.

Qi Yuan had barely had time to enjoy the 15 Treasure Points he had just acquired before he had spent almost all of them.

However, this expense is definitely worth it!
With these four treasures, his combat power will definitely more than double!
Moreover, when the time is right, these treasures can be given as 'gifts' to qualified disciples, and it is estimated that it will be easy to get a whole set of even more powerful treasures in return!
By then, I probably won't even need to worry about the ultimate treasures I'll use after breaking through to the level of a universe master!

"Now, let's just wait for the breakthrough."
