Only My Way

“[Low-Grade Basic Cultivation Methods], [Mid-Grade Basic Cultivation Methods]…”

“Although they don’t seem particularly useful, I might as well take them all…”

Ling Wuyuan stood inside the vault of the Piercing Cloud Gang, a place dedicated to storing various secret manuals.

Looking at the hundreds of manuals before him, he couldn't be bothered to pick and choose, so he simply stuffed them all into his spatial ring.

Although the Piercing Cloud Gang's overall strength was considered decent among the surrounding forces, they were ultimately just local bullies in a remote area, so Ling Wuyuan didn't expect them to have any profound secret manuals.

In his opinion, finding a few [High-Grade Basic Cultivation Methods] and two [Qi Nourishment Realm Low-Grade Cultivation Methods] here was already quite lucky.

Besides that,

the most unexpected gain from this trip was a ring he had taken from the Piercing Cloud Gang leader.

It was a ring with a pure black surface.

Its appearance was quite simple, with hardly any patterns or designs on the black metal ring.

To be honest,

although the Piercing Cloud Gang seemed barely qualified to possess spatial items, Ling Wuyuan hadn't really expected them to actually have one…

After all, being barely qualified to possess something and actually possessing it were two completely different things.

It was like everyone being legally entitled to become a great leader, but in reality… thinking about such things was better than just calming down.

Therefore,

when he noticed that the other party's weapon was damaged but they could conjure things out of thin air, Ling Wuyuan was naturally extremely surprised.

Now,

looking at the spoils in his hand, after pondering for a while, Ling Wuyuan finally accepted the reality with peace of mind:

‘At least it’s a force that has existed for hundreds of years, it seems normal for them to have some unknown opportunities of their own…’

According to his perception,

the internal volume of this spatial ring obtained from the Piercing Cloud Gang was about eight meters in length, width, and height. Furthermore, unlike the spatial ring left behind by the [Azure Lake White Stream Palace], which could automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to maintain its normal function, this spatial ring of the Piercing Cloud Gang had to continuously absorb the internal spiritual power of spiritual objects to operate.

The so-called spiritual objects

actually referred to various things that contained natural energy.

Among them, the most common spiritual objects were [Crystal Coins], which served as high-level currency.

In this regard, the reason why [Crystal Coins] could exist as a high-level currency was precisely because the energy contained within them was far superior to the free energy commonly found in nature.

Moreover, [Crystal Coins] were essentially something that could be recycled.

After the energy contained within them was completely absorbed, generally speaking, one only needed to store them in the external environment, and they could automatically absorb, filter, and store external energy until their interior was refilled.

Of course,

the time cycle required for that kind of thing was a bit long…

It would take seven or eight years in the short term, and twenty or thirty years in the long term.

During this period,

as a high-level currency whose internal energy had been lost, the price of [Crystal Coins] would inevitably be greatly discounted. If there wasn't even a trace of energy inside, the thing could only be considered a half-price item.

And Ling Wuyuan could judge from observation that the internal spiritual power of one [Low-Grade Crystal Coin] could probably maintain the normal operation of the spatial ring for a month.

In other words, the fixed basic cost of this thing was fifty gold coins per month.

In Black Rock City,

this was the price of half a set of ordinary housing in an ordinary area.

If it was a relatively poor area, with good luck, you might be able to buy a house large enough for two or three people to live in.

In short, this kind of consumption wasn't much to Ling Wuyuan, but for ordinary people, even wealthy merchants with some assets would have to wear a mask of pain on the spot…

It could only be said that the gap between the rich and the poor in this world was indeed large.

But it was direct enough.

With strength, there was wealth.

Everyone was very straightforward and wouldn't talk to you about extra rules.

At this moment, after taking out everything from the Piercing Cloud Gang's spatial ring and looking at it,

Ling Wuyuan immediately discovered some small surprises among them.

Three ginseng roots that were at least several thousand years old and several other equally precious medicinal materials, plus some well-prepared medicines, and two weapons of decent quality.

Besides that,

there were some valuables, bills, food…

Feeling that the Piercing Cloud Gang's spatial ring, whether in terms of the size of the internal space or the physical hardness of the ring itself, was far inferior to the spatial ring of the [Azure Lake White Stream Palace], the two were at least a hundred times different in value. After pondering silently for a while, Ling Wuyuan finally decided to use this newly acquired spatial ring as a warehouse specifically for storing low-value items.

From now on, it would be used specifically for storing cheap medicinal materials, normal food, low-value change, books recording ordinary knowledge… just to share the pressure on the original spatial ring, whose space capacity was becoming increasingly scarce.

Of course,

the newest novels are available first on 69shu.com!

As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared than sorry. In order to prevent this relatively cheap spatial ring from having problems, Ling Wuyuan would definitely store some basic supplies in the original spatial ring.

After making this decision and re-storing various items separately,

Ling Wuyuan casually took out a [High-Grade Crystal Coin] and threw it into the black spatial ring as a basic energy source.

According to the ring's energy consumption rate,

that [High-Grade Crystal Coin] should be enough for it to operate for hundreds of years.

At this point,

Ling Wuyuan also turned to other areas of the Piercing Cloud Gang.

Such as the Piercing Cloud Gang's treasure vault or medicine storehouse.

These two places respectively represented wealth and treasures and medicinal materials and medicines.

Those things were meaningful to him, even if they were small, they were still meat.

Especially after obtaining another spatial ring and being able to carry more things, this was even more so.

As a guy who truly came from poverty, he wasn't picky.

If there was still storage space left in the spatial ring after visiting those two places, he planned to go to the Piercing Cloud Gang's library to see if there were any normal books he hadn't read.

There was no other reason.

Books were precious things.

They carried knowledge.

Therefore,

regardless of what kind of book,

as long as it was a book he hadn't read, then for Ling Wuyuan, it was worth collecting.

Thinking of this,

he immediately leaped up and rushed towards various areas at high speed.

He understood that he had to be faster.

Otherwise, those malicious small fries in the Piercing Cloud Gang would definitely take away all the important items from each area and run away at the speed of light with the money.

If that were the case,

things would be awkward!

Letting others pick up the bargain for nothing…
