The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

The warrior hunters escaped, leaving nine people behind.

As we continued deeper in, the temperature dropped further, and our pace slowed down.

An hour later, he had to stop to recover his inner energy.

Simply relying on meditation and cultivation is far less effective at restoring energy than it is at rest; external assistance is necessary.

They all took out the medicine and drank it. This medicine could quickly restore true energy. Many pharmaceutical companies sold it, and the effects were similar, but the names were all over the place.

For the best, martial artists habitually call it a "true qi recovery potion"...

Lu Yuan's spatial ring also contained a considerable number of Qi-restoring potions. When Shen Qiubing gave him this ring, it was mixed with a large number of other healing potions.

But now it seems that Lu Yuan is no longer needed.

Compared to others, with his ten-patterned star core and ten-grade martial vein, his true energy far surpasses that of others, both in terms of its bearing and creation.

And most importantly, the current recovery speed is ridiculously fast.

As they ventured deeper into the iceberg, Lu Yuan's Fiery Sun Battle Body alone could no longer withstand the cold, forcing him to expend his true energy to ward off the chill. The deeper they went, the more energy they consumed.

At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that no matter how much true energy he consumed, he could recover quickly!

This cannot be achieved simply by having a tenth-grade martial vein.

It is the Tao Te Ching!

Or to be more precise, it is the golden bridge formed by the Tao Te Ching when breaking through to the Star Core Realm.

He connected himself with heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy from the outside world flowed into his body continuously, like a spring breeze and rain, quietly nourishing and strengthening his body.

It wasn't until just now, as his true energy was being consumed, that Lu Yuan suddenly realized that this spiritual energy was more than just nourishing his body.

As if stimulated, the amount of spiritual energy surging into the body suddenly increased more than a hundredfold, and then directly transformed into true energy!

"So that's how it is."

Upon realizing this, after a brief moment of distraction, Lu Yuan felt an almost uncontrollable surge of joy.

With this golden bridge, one can continuously obtain spiritual energy from the outside world. The world is vast and boundless, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is inexhaustible.

In that case, wouldn't it mean that his true energy is inexhaustible?

Endless true energy, invincible?

Of course, things are not that straightforward.

It can only be said that Lu Yuan can recover his true energy without limit. However, due to the limitations of his martial veins and star core, the amount of true energy he can bear at the same time is limited.

In other words, the total amount of true qi in his body is limited.

It's like a reservoir that's now directly connected to the sea; no matter how much water is pumped out, it's inexhaustible. However, what can be poured out in an instant is still just a reservoir of water.

Although it's not truly an endless and boundless source of true energy, it's still powerful enough.

After all, while the power of combat skills increases after being promoted to general, the consumption of true energy also increases. As a result, when generals fight, they often first compete in physical strength, and only use their true energy as a last resort.

Lu Yuan is now completely free from this restrictive concern!

"Um?"

After taking the medicine, the others, who were recovering their true energy, looked at Lu Yuan, who was standing to the side with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Why didn't he stop to recover his inner energy?

Even if Liu Wuji and Dugu Feiying knew that Lu Yuan was already a two-star general, how much more true energy could he have than them? With such a huge consumption, how could they not care at all?

Something's strange.

Everyone frowned secretly; as a competitor, this was certainly not good news for them.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the martial artists this time were indeed full of hidden talents.

After more than ten minutes, their internal energy had been almost fully restored, and the group got up and continued walking forward.

Lu Yuan remained in the crowd.

The reason we didn't move forward earlier was because we weren't sure if there was some kind of danger hidden inside the iceberg.

When everyone is together, at least in times of danger, they can use others as cannon fodder to shield themselves and find an opportunity to escape.

As they continued to venture deeper, the temperature continued to drop, and their internal energy was being consumed more and more, forcing them to stop repeatedly and use potions to replenish their energy.

Moreover, the intervals in between are getting shorter and shorter!

Having already used seven or eight bottles of Qi recovery potions, Lu Yuan still stood to the side with his arms crossed, seemingly unaffected.

As long as the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth remains, he will be unharmed unless the energy consumed can instantly deplete all the true energy within his body.

With the vast amount of true energy within him, achieving a sudden change in circumstances would be extremely difficult.

"Um?"

As he pondered, Lu Yuan noticed the gazes of others and his expression darkened.

Those were hostile glances.

The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. His current performance was too conspicuous, and he was already seen as a major obstacle by others.

To seize the treasure, you must first eliminate him!

"Gentlemen, is there anyone who wants to make a deal with me?"

Before anyone else could make a move, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke up.

He looked at the others with a smile on his face and took out a vial of Qi recovery potion.

Ok?

Everyone was taken aback; what did this mean?

"As you can probably tell, I have a little trick up my sleeve to restore my true energy without using any medicine. As for what that trick is, I cannot say for sure."

Lu Yuan spoke calmly and then went straight to the point.

"Therefore, I plan to sell the Qi restoration potions I have."

sell?

True Qi Recovery Potion!

After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, everyone looked surprised.

Immediately afterwards, a thought stirred within me.

It's still hard to say exactly when we'll reach the innermost part of the iceberg and find the so-called treasure.

Seeing their remaining Qi recovery potions rapidly depleting, the others felt uncertain about their chances of survival.

It would be such a waste if we fought to the very end only to run out of potions and couldn't continue.

At this moment, Lu Yuan is actually going to sell this precious medicine!

Of course, Lu Yuan himself said it, and everyone could see it clearly, that he didn't need any medicine to restore his true energy.

As the saying goes, rare commodities are worth hoarding, so selling at this time to obtain greater value is indeed the best choice.

"What's the price!"

Thinking of this, someone immediately asked.

Although Lu Yuan is willing to sell, who knows how much he has, or how much he is willing to sell at this time?

"Sell it to me! The price is negotiable!"

"I'll trade you rare ores!"

Immediately afterwards, the others also spoke up.

The first come, the first served; everyone knows this principle.

"Hehe, no problem, no problem."

Looking at the jubilant crowd, Lu Yuan smiled broadly, looking every bit like a shrewd businessman.

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan, who came from a sales background, is actually a shrewd businessman.

Soon, Lu Yuan exchanged eight bottles of Qi recovery potions for a large amount of resources, exceeding the amount of the "protection fee" he had just received.

Sure enough, ten highway robbers couldn't beat one medicine seller.

And this is only 20% of the large amount of true qi recovery potions in Lu Yuan's ring.

Good things are often hoarded, and it's clear that the further in you go, the more your true energy is consumed, and the greater the demand for true energy recovery potions becomes.

No rush, wait a bit longer, the price might go up!

"Let's go."

Following the crowd, Lu Yuan smiled again.

Most importantly, his actions temporarily relieved the public's hostility towards him, at least preventing them from immediately joining forces to drive him away.
