High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Looking at these tasks, Su Jie's eyes twitched. The rewards were indeed generous for ordinary people, but those few hundred points of health were just a drop in the bucket for him. Moreover, the level of danger was extremely high!

A general-level demonic beast with a combat power exceeding ten thousand is already in the realm of a formal war general! His current base combat power is close to five thousand, and with the "Penetrating Void Finger" technique, he could easily unleash a destructive force exceeding ten thousand. However, his endurance, defense, and combat experience are all far inferior to those of a true war general. A slight misstep and he'd be easy prey.

"For me, this is high risk and low reward," Su Jie sighed. "Besides, with my current strength, it's too much of a stretch for me to take on these A-level missions alone. If I team up, it's easy to expose my strength and secrets."

"It seems unrealistic to expect to quickly accumulate a lot of Qi and Blood through completing tasks in a short period of time. I still need to find a way to go to a place like the Star Origin Secret Realm..." Su Jie rubbed his temples. "The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, Uncle Yang said there are countless dungeons there, and many opportunities, but the danger is unknown..."

Just as he was weighing the pros and cons, a "ding" sounded in his mind. After 24 hours, his first level eight martial acupoint was finally tempered and advanced to level nine!

[Ding! Martial Aperture Tempering Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level: 9. Combat Power +20!]

[Current Martial Acupoints: Level 9: 9, Level 8: 90]

Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 126400 (+1/second)

[Combat Power: 5130 points!]

Feeling the newfound power, Su Jie's spirits lifted. "I can't just wait around!" Su Jie's personality meant he couldn't tolerate such a "slow" progress.

Without further hesitation, he sent a contact request using the encrypted communication code left by Yang Baichuan.

After the communication was connected, Yang Baichuan's refined face appeared on the screen.

"Su Jie? You're in trouble?" Yang Baichuan asked calmly.

"Uncle Yang, I apologize for disturbing you." Su Jie bowed respectfully, then got straight to the point, "I've reached a crucial stage in my cultivation, requiring a massive amount of qi and blood to sustain me. Do you know of any other secret realms or treasure lands in or near Linjiang City besides the Star Origin Secret Realm that can accelerate the accumulation of qi and blood?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Baichuan's eyes flashed with understanding, seemingly unsurprised by Su Jie's request. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Places that accelerate the accumulation of qi and blood are indeed rare. My Linjiang City's Star Origin Secret Realm can only open once a year, and gathering the surrounding spiritual energy is already quite an achievement."

Did you know that for ordinary martial artists who only cultivate the "Basic Breathing Technique," an hour of arduous training within the Star Origin Secret Realm would only increase their Qi and Blood by 0.5 points? Even without eating, drinking, or sleeping, they could only gain 12 points of Qi and Blood per day. Therefore, this secret realm doesn't hold much appeal for martial artists from powerful forces capable of refining Qi and Blood Pills.

Su Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood why, although the Star Origin Secret Realm was precious, it didn't seem to have aroused too much frenzy of competition. 0.5 points per hour was indeed a snail's pace for him, who had a cheat-like ability of 1 point per second.

Yang Baichuan continued, "However, in Jinling City, the capital of Tiandu Province, there is an even more advanced Star Origin Secret Realm, where the concentration of Qi and blood is ten times that of the outside world! This secret realm was obtained by a powerful martial artist from a dungeon world within the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace. It opens once every three years, and each opening lasts for ten days. Judging by the time, it will be in four days."

"Ten times the concentration?!" Su Jie's eyes lit up instantly! That would mean his Origin Breathing Technique would recover at a rate of 10 points per second! In ten days, that would amount to over eight million points of Qi and Blood! This would be more than enough to solve his immediate crisis!

"Uncle Yang, please advise me on how to qualify for entry?" Su Jie asked eagerly.

Yang Baichuan shook his head: "The number of places in the Star Origin Secret Realm is extremely limited, with only fifty places available. Moreover, the places were determined and reported to the Federation half a year ago. Now that the places are full, there is no way to change them."

Su Jie's heart sank immediately.

But Yang Baichuan changed the subject, looking at Su Jie with a knowing glimpse into his eyes: "However, Su Jie, since you have achieved such combat power at such a young age, you must have had some extraordinary opportunities that are hard for ordinary people to imagine. Perhaps you have obtained some kind of cultivation technique that can greatly enhance your blood and energy and increase your efficiency?"

Su Jie's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm.

Yang Baichuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous or explain: "There's no need to tell me. Opportunities vary from person to person, and federal law protects what individuals obtain. I just want to tell you that since you have this 'background,' perhaps you could consider a different approach—buy entry qualifications from those who have already secured spots."

"The right to purchase?" Su Jie was taken aback.

"Not bad." Yang Baichuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a seasoned smile. "You must understand that for the vast majority of martial artists who rely on the 'Basic Breathing Method,' even if they cultivate for ten days in the Star Source Secret Realm with ten times the concentration, without eating or drinking, they can theoretically obtain a maximum of 240 points of Qi and Blood."

In reality, no one can go without sleep at all. Considering the energy expenditure and bottlenecks during cultivation, it is already extremely difficult to consistently obtain 150 points of Qi and Blood.

Even if some of the martial artists who obtain a spot have mastered more advanced breathing techniques, they would only gain a maximum of 1000 points of Qi and Blood.

"If you can directly offer 1000 points, or even 1200 points, of pure blood and qi in exchange..." Yang Baichuan looked at Su Jie meaningfully.

"I believe no one can refuse this tangible and immediately usable resource. After all, what's in your own pocket is truly yours. What's the point of arduous cultivation in some ethereal secret realm compared to directly obtaining thousands of units of vital energy?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jie suddenly understood! His eyes lit up with surprise!

That's right! How could he not have thought of that!

For others, entering a secret realm is about "earning" Qi and Blood, a rather inefficient process. But for Su Jie, what he lacks isn't the "efficiency" of earning Qi and Blood, but time! He needs to quickly acquire a large amount of Qi and Blood to "pay-to-win" level up!

Using his seemingly "hard-earned" blood and energy to exchange for the qualification of others to enter the secret realm for "hard-earned" cultivation, this is simply a plan tailor-made for him!

"Thank you so much, Uncle Yang, for your guidance!" Su Jie said sincerely, as this new perspective had opened up a whole new world for him.

"Hehe, go ahead. The waters in Jinling City are deeper than those in Linjiang, so be careful. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact me again." Yang Baichuan smiled and ended the call.

After ending the call, Su Jie clenched his fist excitedly.

"Star Origin Secret Realm...Ten Times Concentration...Purchase Qualification!"

He immediately checked his current Qi and Blood reserves: [Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 126500 (+1/second)].

"Trading a few thousand points of Qi and Blood for a spot, and the opportunity to acquire nearly ten million points of Qi and Blood over the next ten days! This deal is incredibly worthwhile!"

He seemed to see countless essences of qi and blood beckoning to him, and the "Supreme Dao Foundation" with ninety-nine acupoints and ten levels of perfection smiling at him not far away.

"Jinling City...looks like I'll have to make a trip there!"
