Chapter 351: Chapter 350: Unexpected Developments

"Why, why can’t we buy pills? Isn’t it paid with the Power of Faith? I qualify."

Another Buddhist cultivator received an inquiry, and after the high-level intelligence checked his personal information, it directly issued an expulsion order.

"People in the Buddhist Sect are compassionate; every appearance of a Life Essence Immortal Peach sacrifices a life from the alien race, so they cannot be sold to you." The system replied.

This monk named Shi Yonghuai, with nine scars on his head, has been an abbot for countless years; his personal cultivation should be outstanding.

Yet, at this moment, he couldn’t help but burst out in anger: "Damn it, I’ve accumulated so much merit, considered a great benefactor on the Mother Star, but if my cultivation level isn’t high enough, what if I die at the hands of aliens one day?

What’s wrong with compassion? Does it mean not needing cultivation resources, not needing to break through the realm?

Animals are living beings, plants are living beings, I’ve eaten vegetarian for so many years, what’s wrong with having some meat?

Moreover, when animals die, their flesh returns to the earth, absorbed by plants, which is no different from the Life Essence Immortal Peach.

Come out, I want to argue with you, you must say that selling the Life Essence Immortal Peach to me is..."

Before he could finish the sentence, he was expelled from the virtual space by the ruthless system.

Poor abbot, known for his eloquence, found no use for it here and was forced to find another way to acquire pills.

As the line moved forward, more people were expelled. Soon, eighty percent of the Cyan Snake Sect disciples were expelled, as their cultivation level was below Organ Refining, and their personal assets were less than ten million.

Ultimately, they were all expelled due to the lack of Incense Faith as currency.

Finally, Nie Qing reached the front, and the system’s emotionless voice asked: "What kind of pill does the customer want to purchase? If choosing Life Essence Immortal Peach, it must be paid with the Power of Faith. Do you have such transaction items?"

He was just as puzzled; generally, cultivators traded using Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystals, or materials required for alchemy, Immortal Elixirs, special minerals, flesh, or special metals for artifact refining.

How did the Power of Faith from the Incense Fire God Path become currency, and without it, one couldn’t buy Life Essence Immortal Peach?

"I want to purchase Life Essence Immortal Peach, but I don’t have..." He had just started when he felt a sense of disorientation, seemingly being expelled.

"But I don’t have... said I lack the Power of Faith." He stammered and quickly corrected himself, luckily reacting swiftly due to his high cultivation level.

Then he entered the Immortal Dome Plane, just feeling a headache over where to find Power of Faith.

Remembering a friend he knew, who was a Buddhist, usually providing aid and medicine, making rain to ensure local prosperity, who had quite a few followers.

That monk Shi Yonghuai likely had been unfortunate and expelled, right?

Thinking of this, Nie Qing couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

After some twists and turns, he finally got his hands on two Earth Tier Lower Third Grade Life Essence Immortal Peaches, one for Shi Yonghuai and one for himself.

Obtaining the Life Essence Immortal Peach, he immediately entered closed-door cultivation.

He was already a cultivator at the Peak of Sky Control, stuck in that realm for over twenty years, without hope of progress, failing at every attempt to push through.

Consuming the Life Essence Immortal Peach, his mouth was filled with fragrance, and a large amount of medicinal power transformed into the Primordial Qi needed by his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, which Nie Qing frantically absorbed.

After a day and a night, he made three attempts. Failing the first time, he relied on overwhelming medicinal power to recover to his peak state; failing the second time, he still had plenty of remaining medicinal power. On the third attempt, he finally broke through the solid bottleneck, becoming a cultivator in Divinity Transformation.

"I broke through! I broke through! The Life Essence Immortal Peach is indeed a sacred item for cultivators like us!"

He rushed out from his closed-door retreat, shouting, and even cried tears of joy, audible within a ten-mile radius.

Many disciples of the Cyan Snake Sect were also joyful; the sect leader’s breakthrough meant their sect’s ranking among surrounding sects would rise significantly, securing more cultivation resources.

An old monk, Shi Yonghuai, in a temple, also walked out of closed-door cultivation, though looking a bit distressed.

This time, his cultivation didn’t smoothly break through, but fortunately, he partially stepped into the realm, with significant progress in combat power.

However, to truly break through would require years of painstaking effort, slowly breaching the realm barrier to become a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

The alternative would be buying another Earth Tier Lower Third Grade Life Essence Immortal Peach, but thinking of Immortal Dome Pavilion’s refusal to let Buddhist cultivators access, he felt overwhelmed.

Time flies by ten days, the batch of Life Essence Immortal Peaches from Immortal Dome Pavilion sold out on the first day, but took time to transport and store items holding Power of Faith.

When this batch of items containing Power of Faith arrived before Wang Xuan, many cultivators on the Mother Star were jubilant because they successfully enhanced their cultivation levels using the Life Essence Immortal Peach.

Especially those who broke through Great Realms, like Nie Qing and others, praised the efficacy of the Life Essence Immortal Peach, while Shi Yonghuai and others hoped Wang Xuan would sell more, with their calls highly pronounced.

For a time, Wang Xuan’s reputation soared again, becoming a renowned figure on the Mother Star.

Using the Life Essence Immortal Peach in his possession, he successfully stirred the world, with Power of Faith from various sects becoming highly valuable.

Jade, Divine Statues, Treasure Pearls in glassy colors, items containing Power of Faith numbering in the thousands and varied, yet Wang Xuan cared little for them.

He opened these items directly, absorbing Incense Faith, and upon entering his body, the Power of Faith was absorbed by the Tower of Space-Time, converting into Source Power.

Watching the increasing Source Power, Wang Xuan was elated; with pure Source Power, he could rapidly break through realms and become an even stronger cultivator.

Four million,

Five million,

Six million,

...

The Source Power continued to climb, growing from over three million to sixteen million, a massive fortune.

He’s confident that once the Creation True Scripture is perfected, he can smoothly reach the Jade Platform Realm, perhaps even the Jade Platform Peak!

Even amidst experiences, Wang Xuan’s blood boiled; realm equates to strength, and to status!

In such chaotic times, he requires sufficient power!

Yet gazing at the clutter before him, the Power of Faith within them absorbed completely, the myriad items containing considerable Incense Faith.

Wang Xuan had previously collected Power of Faith on Dixuan Star, and just by visual estimation, he could predict absorbing several billion to ten billion Source Power.

Even if this Incense Faith was too mixed, insufficiently pure, the mere increase of twelve million Source Power points was unexpected.

The Tower of Space-Time’s conversion of Incense Faith is notably thorough, so the day’s outcome was unforeseen compared to his gains on Dixuan Star.

Furrowing his brow, he went to Dixuan Star to compare, collecting a little Incense Faith and found the answer.

Power of Faith not provided by one’s followers, forcibly absorbed and converted, had a notably low efficiency, merely about one-tenth.

This result proved greatly disappointing to him.

Moreover, for Buddhist cultivators, refining others’ Incense Faith would never occur, as the clash of wills within the Faith Power would be a peril.

"Let’s leave it at that for now. Such exchanges of others’ Incense Faith are inefficient, not worthwhile." Wang Xuan identified the issue but wasn’t immediately threatened in his cultivation needs for Source Power.

"Time Spirit." He called out.

Despite reaching the Pure Yang Peak nearly two months ago, he hadn’t become the strongest in Pure Yang, not because he was inferior to the Bear King, but because the latter refused to battle him.

Therefore, he didn’t aim to save face for the Bear King and sought to achieve overriding combat power, far exceeding the Bear King’s, recognizing by the Mother Star’s source to attain the Pure Yang strongest’s fortune blessing!

Cohesively gathering the Merit Halo, cultivating the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture, allowing a little boost to his combat power; if unsuccessful, he’d directly progress to the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo.

Once the fifth level power of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo was recognized by the Mother Star’s source as part of the Pure Yang Realm, he’d undoubtedly possess crushing power over the Bear King!
