You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 203 If you have money, you can really do whatever you want
An elderly man with a goatee and an air of otherworldly wisdom was holding a crystal ball and conducting tests on the nervous children one by one.

"next."

The old man's voice was calm yet dignified.

Li Zhe took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He placed his hand on the cold crystal ball.

Based on my understanding of this world, I probably don't have what this world calls a "spiritual root".

But he has...

An ultimate armored body, strengthened and tempered countless times, enough to drive any cultivator mad!

He slowly infused a wisp of pure muscle armor energy into the crystal ball.

next second.

"Buzz!!!!"

The crystal ball, which was supposed to be used to test the spiritual roots of mortals, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, dazzling burst of energy the moment it came into contact with Li Zhe's domineering and destructive aura...

A dazzling array of black light!
"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound was heard.

The valuable testing crystal ball shattered instantly under the impact of this terrifying energy!

It turned into dust all over the ground...

"..."

The entire interior fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, as if frozen in place.

The old man, who had an air of otherworldly wisdom, was clutching his charred goatee tightly, his face flushed red, as if he were about to have a heart attack.

"This...this is..."

His voice became somewhat incoherent due to extreme shock.

"Waste...waste spiritual root?"

Li Zhe: "??"

……

In the end, Li Zhe was "recruited" by the Qingluan Sect.

Although he destroyed the magic tool used to test spiritual roots on the spot, and the result of the test was an unprecedented "chaotic spiritual root" that "possesses all five elements, yet they conflict with each other, making it even more useless than a useless spiritual root".

But he couldn't stop him...

They gave way too much.

He donated all the "energy crystals" he had picked up in the forest—which were considered rare treasures by cultivators in this world—to the Azure Phoenix Sect.

Thus, under the discerning eye of the Qingluan Sect leader, who believed that "this child is destined to be with our Qingluan Sect," the child was discovered.

Li Zhe successfully became an outer disciple of the Qingluan Sect.

They were responsible for fetching water, fertilizing, and weeding in the medicinal herb garden on the back mountain.

……

Although he was classified as a "low-level laborer," Li Zhe didn't care about it at all.

All he wanted was a "stepping stone" to make a living and use it to explore the mysteries of the world.

In the days that followed, he began his monotonous yet fulfilling "cultivation" life in this spiritually rich medicinal garden.

During the day, he carried two wooden buckets larger than water vats, moving swiftly between the waterfalls and medicinal gardens in the mountains.

His muscular physique, brimming with explosive power, gleamed healthily in the sunlight, attracting countless female outer disciples who stole shy yet curious glances. At night, he would sit cross-legged in his simple thatched hut.

While chewing on the iron-hard "Bigu Pill," he also studied the most basic cultivation classics he had "borrowed" from the library.

"The Art of Qi Refining", "The Fundamentals of the Five Elements", "Illustrated Compendium of Spiritual Herbs"...

What other disciples found tedious and boring introductory knowledge was, in Li Zhe's eyes, like doors to a new world, full of endless charm.

He utilized his brain, which had already been developed to its fullest potential and was comparable to that of a supercomputer.

It frantically absorbs the knowledge of this world.

He discovered that the "spiritual energy" of this world and the "energy" contained in his armored body seemed to be no different in essence.

The only difference is that their modes of existence and methods of application are completely different.

"Spiritual energy" is more like an invisible "energy field" that permeates the world.

What cultivators need to do is to absorb these intangible energies into their bodies and transform them into tangible "true essence" through specific "cultivation techniques".

His own "muscle armor energy" is more like a highly compressed and purified "energy block" that can be used directly.

Although they may be lacking in quantity, they far surpass the vast majority of Qi Refining cultivators in this world in terms of quality.

"If I could perfectly fuse these two energy systems..."

A bold idea sprouted in Li Zhe's mind.

He began to try to use the methods recorded in the "Qi Refining Manual" to guide the energy in his body's muscles and armor to circulate along specific meridian routes.

This process is fraught with unknowns and dangers.

If you are not careful, your energy may go out of control and your meridians may be severed.

But Li Zhe, with his almost abnormal control over his body and his terrifying calculation ability, managed to turn this seemingly impossible idea into reality.

When the first wisp of "true essence," transformed through the "Qi Refining Technique" and carrying a trace of agility and mystery, was born in his dantian.

Li Zhe knew that he had successfully taken the first step into this world.

And the potential of his armored body was further unleashed under the support of this new energy system...

Li Zhe spent his days in the herb garden behind the Qingluan Sect in a peaceful yet fulfilling way.

He was like a true ascetic, oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on reading books about cultivating immortality.

Besides completing those arduous chores every day, he spent the rest of his time immersing himself in the fusion and exploration of "muscle armor energy" and "immortal cultivation essence".

His strength was also quietly increasing at a speed that surprised even himself, through his daily arduous training.

Although on the surface, he is still a "waste spiritual root" who has not even reached the "first level of Qi Refining".

However, the new power within him, which had undergone initial transformation and integrated two energy systems, was far superior in purity and explosiveness to that of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Even some Foundation Establishment stage elders, when they accidentally pass by him, feel a strange palpitation, as if they are facing an ancient ferocious beast lurking beneath his human form.

Of course, Li Zhe hid all of this very well.

He remains the same taciturn, hardworking "muscle man".

Aside from his ridiculously strong strength, in the eyes of others, he was no different from an ordinary mortal servant.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

Li Zhe wanted to keep a low profile, but there were always some clueless people who would take the initiative to come to him.

On this day, Li Zhe, as usual, carried two huge wooden buckets filled with spiritual spring water, preparing to water the delicate spiritual herbs in the medicine garden.

Just as they reached the entrance of the herb garden, they were stopped by several shady-looking guys dressed in the outer disciple robes of the Azure Phoenix Sect...
