Tang San was somewhat surprised.
He was honored to be included?
However, Yu Xiaogang continued his rambling,
"What kind of cultivation path easily improves strength, what kind of martial soul is most suitable for cultivation in what environment?"
"This book records all of this in detail."
"I can't personally guide you during this time, but you must not slack off."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face showed a hint of joy.
With this book from his godfather, he would definitely avoid many detours in his cultivation.
"Yes, godfather!"
"I will definitely cultivate diligently!"
Tang San respectfully replied.
He never imagined that
the book Yu Xiaogang mentioned, which he claimed to have researched himself, was actually mostly copied from other places.
And a significant portion of it was wrong.
Tang San was probably in trouble.
Meanwhile, Ye Xian returned to his empty dormitory.
He immediately closed the doors and windows and opened the system interface.
"Whoosh—~!"
The system screen instantly appeared, and Ye Xian directly opened the system warehouse.
The screen trembled and then changed its appearance.
In the first slot was the reward he had obtained from completing a previous mission:
a "Spatial Storage Soul Tool."
Ye Xian read the name displayed on the first slot and clicked to claim it.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Spatial Storage Soul Tool.]
[This soul tool can store items in one hundred cubic meters of space. Simply inject your soul power into it to successfully bind it!]
After hearing the system's explanation, Ye Xian injected his soul power into a faintly glowing black bracelet in his palm.
"Buzz—~!"
The bracelet trembled slightly, then remained still.
Binding successful.
Ye Xian immediately tested it. With just his soul power, he could put anything he wanted into the bracelet.
"Not bad."
He nodded in satisfaction.
Having this soul tool would make many things much easier.
Compared to Tang San, who had happily acquired a thirty-year-old belt, he was incredibly pleased.
Then, in his host information, Ye Xian discovered that his soul power had successfully increased to level eleven after absorbing the soul ring.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xian opened the system shop.
He still had over four thousand System Essence.
He could buy a considerable amount of items
, but none were particularly cost-effective.
Four thousand System Essence was still a long way from ninety-nine-nine-nine.
Just then, Ye Xian suddenly noticed a new item in the shop he'd never seen before:
[Hextech Blind Box: Price: Two thousand System Essence.]
The product description also included a note:
[Hextech Blind Boxes can yield five levels of loot: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Epic.]
[The higher the level of the loot, the lower the probability of obtaining it.]
Seeing the note about the Hextech Blind Box, Ye Xian couldn't help but purse his lips.
What if he got two Bronze loot items? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Two thousand System Essence for one item? Too much of a gamble
. Not worth it, not worth it.
Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a line of small print below the note:
[The first two purchases of Hextech Blind Boxes guarantee an Epic loot item!]
Ye Xian's eyes lit up instantly.
Two thousand System Essence for each of the first two purchases.
That's exactly four thousand, isn't it?
With that thought in mind, he didn't hesitate and chose to buy it directly.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully purchased two Hextech Blind Boxes!]
Looking at the few hundred System Essence he had left, Ye Xuan immediately opened the System Warehouse.
The two Hextech Blind Boxes were stored there.
Without hesitation, he opened them both at once!
[Hextech Blind Box successfully opened! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an Epic Reward: Attribute Boost Card: Upgraded!]
[Hextech Blind Box successfully opened! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an Epic Reward: Mall Discount Card: High-End Shopping!]
[Upgraded: After use, the host's cultivation speed, soul power increase speed, and duration of male sexual function will be increased by 30%!]
[Effect Duration: Permanent!]
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't suppress his smile.
This boost effect is simply unbeatable!
How did the system know I've loved cultivation since I was a child?
Even the duration has increased.
It's truly to my liking!
[High-End Shopping: After use, the next ten purchases in the System Mall will be 50% off, requiring only half the System Essence!]
Ye Xuan smiled and nodded; this was pretty good too.
If he had purchased 9,999 units of system essence, he would now only need half of them.
Moreover, he had ten purchase opportunities remaining,
enough for a long time.
With a thought, he used both the [Attribute Enhancement Card: Upgrade!] and the [Mall Discount Card: High-End Shopping] simultaneously.
After using them, the 9,999 units in the mall indeed became 4,999.5.
The effect of the attribute enhancement card wasn't as immediately apparent.
Ye Xian could only experience the changes in his cultivation speed and other aspects through subsequent training.
A year flew by, and the first semester's courses were all finished.
Therefore, Notting Academy entered its holiday period.
Ye Xian didn't choose to go home, as there was nothing to cherish there.
But Tang San had already excitedly taken Xiao Wu back to Holy Soul Village.
Little did he know, his father had already vanished without a trace.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was in his room, lost in thought. His son had gone home, and he felt empty inside.
Having spent a year together, although he didn't say it, his feelings for his godson were constantly deepening.
Even this morning, when Tang San left, he hesitated about whether to go to his house.
In the end, Yu Xiaogang rejected the idea.
After all, his relationship with Tang San was rather special, and
if he didn't explain it clearly to Tang San, it could easily cause misunderstandings.
Yu Xiaogang had absolutely no confidence in his abilities.
"Knock knock knock—~!!"
Just then, three knocks suddenly sounded at the door.
Yu Xiaogang frowned. Usually, besides Tang San, almost no one else would come to his house.
Especially now that it was holiday time, there were hardly any people in the academy.
"Come in."
Yu Xiaogang tidied himself up a bit, then pretended to pick up a book and open it.
The door opened, and a tall figure walked in.
He wore a simple gray robe, and his messy black hair was draped over his shoulders.
His aged face was etched with the marks of time, and his cloudy eyes seemed to belong to someone nearing the end of their life.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a resemblance in his facial features and bone structure to Tang San.
"Hello, Master,"
the newcomer's voice was low and somewhat hoarse.
For some reason, the moment this person entered, Yu Xiaogang instinctively tensed up,
as if he had done something wrong and someone had come to confront him.
