I'm Beloved By All Due To My Investment (Patreon)

Chapter 60: Senior Brother, do you know what this is?

[Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful investment, receiving ten high-grade spirit stones. Would you like to claim them?]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful investment, receiving Qi five years worth of closed door cultivation. Would you like to claim it?]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful investment, receiving a low-grade Spiritual Treasure, Frosty Sword. Would you like to claim it?]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful investment, receiving... ~...]

Two quarters of an hour later, after investing in more than two hundred people, Li Xun finally saw no one glowing.

‘It's a good thing I visited the Myriad Treasures Pavilion before; otherwise, I wouldn't have seen so many people available for investment today’

Li Xun felt fortunate in his heart.

The last time at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he only spent a few dozen high-grade spirit stones. Now, what he obtained through investments was probably worth more than a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. At this moment, he couldn't even determine how many valuable items were saved in the system. He was too engrossed in investing and didn't pay attention to the system's prompt sounds.

‘The healing pills are all used up. I'll have to go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to buy more supplies again’

Li Xun thought to himself.

At this moment, he even suspected that the remaining two hundred people were not available for investment mainly because he didn't have enough medicinal pills.

After all, before he arrived, these people had all fought against the demons from the other realm. Almost everyone had injuries, with the only difference being the severity of the injuries.

‘What a waste’

Li Xun pursed his lips.

At this moment, he felt like his heart was bleeding. Clearly knowing that there were many people here with a glow, even a blue glow, but because he didn't have what they needed, he couldn't see the light, let alone invest.

"Senior Brother!" At this moment, Ye Han's voice came from behind.

Li Xun turned around and saw him holding two black bracelets. Ye Han respectfully handed them over and said, "Senior Brother, these are taken from the wrists of two extraterritorial demons. Junior Brother specifically brought them to you."

"Oh?"

Li Xun deeply looked at Ye Han.

Indeed, as someone carrying the protagonist template, while others were recovering from injuries, he thought of stripping off war spoils. This was quite in line with the style of most xianxia story protagonists.

Fortunately, he and Ye Han had a good relationship before, and Ye Han didn't dare to covet his spoils.

"You've worked hard, Junior Brother," Li Xun said.

"Senior Brother is too polite. This is what Junior Brother should do. If Senior Brother hadn't intervened, Junior Brother would probably have died today," Ye Han said with a bit of embarrassment.

"Hehe."

Li Xun chuckled and didn't reply.

Ye Han, like Qin Xueyi, had his own "golden finger," and since the other party wasn't willing to disclose it, he didn't bother to expose it.

He probed into one of the bracelets with his divine sense.

Li Xun took a quick glance.

This bracelet had a relatively small internal space, about a dozen cubic units. Inside were various materials he didn't recognize, most likely special products from the extraterritorial demonic realm. Additionally, there was a pile of dark stones, roughly the size of spiritual stones in this world. A rough estimate indicated there were thousands of them.

Li Xun casually picked up one, held it in his hand, and immediately felt a chilling sensation spreading from his hand.

‘Blood Essence Stone!’

Ye Han's Master exclaimed in Ye Han's mind.

‘That’s right…’

Ye Han's Master muttered to himself, saying, ‘How could the extraterritorial demons invade again without bringing Blood Essence Stones?’

‘Master, what is a Blood Essence Stone?’ Ye Han curiously asked.

These three words were the first time he had heard of them.

‘Blood Essence Stone is a unique product in the extraterritorial demonic realm, much like our spiritual stones in our world; it serves as currency,’ Ye Han's Master explained.

‘The only difference is that our world's spiritual stones can enhance cultivation and restore vitality, while the extraterritorial demonic realm's Blood Essence Stones enhance the physique!’

‘They can regenerate limbs, and even regenerate from a drop of blood, thanks to the effects of Blood Essence Stones!’

Hiss—

Ye Han took in a sharp breath. When he looked at the Blood Essence Stone in Li Xun's hand, his eyes carried a gaze of surprise, but it was only surprise, there was no trace of envy or greed in it.

Li Xun saved his life again today, and he couldn't bring himself to ask for more.

‘In our world, achieving limb regeneration requires at least the cultivation of a saint. To regenerate from a drop of blood, one needs to be at least an emperor!’

‘In the extraterritorial demonic realm, even demons at the QI Refining can regenerate limbs, and those at the Profound Core can regenerate from a drop of blood!’ the ancient voice narrated slowly.

The astonishment in Ye Han's eyes intensified.

This was too terrifying.

Items born under different world rules were simply abnormal!

‘In our world, we need Blood Essence Stones, while the extraterritorial demons covet the spiritual stones in our world…

Countless years ago, there was a battle between the extraterritorial demons and our world. We won that battle and obtained many Blood Essence Stones. However, since we couldn't find the world of the extraterritorial demons, we used the Blood Essence Stones sparingly.

In this era, they are almost impossible to find. Each one can be considered a priceless treasure!’

"Ah... this..."

Ye Han glanced at the piece in Li Xun's hand and then looked down at the tens of thousands of low-level extraterritorial demons still alive below.

These demons weren't too weak, each having QI Refining cultivation. Could each of them be carrying a few Blood Essence Stones?

‘Don't bother looking. Storage artifacts are precious in the extraterritorial demonic realm. Low-level demons can't carry Blood Essence Stones with them,’ the ancient voice said indifferently.

This sentence immediately extinguished Ye Han's fantasy.

‘Well…’

After careful consideration, Ye Han asked in a low voice, ‘Master, do you know when the extraterritorial demons will come again?’

Just now, he was looking at the fierce extraterritorial demons, but in this short period, they seemed a bit cute in Ye Han's eyes.

‘That depends on when they want to invade. Even if they come, it's not certain they'll be in the same place. Next time, they might be thousands of miles away or even billions of miles away.’

‘To encounter them again, luck is the most important factor.’

‘Moreover...

‘Even if they come, how can you be sure they still only have three Profound Core experts? Perhaps next time, they'll have three saints!’

‘Alright.’

Ye Han nodded helplessly.

After glancing at Li Xun, who held the Blood Essence Stone with a contemplative expression, Ye Han organized his thoughts and slowly spoke, "Senior Brother, do you know what this thing is?"

"I don't know. Do you know about it, Junior Brother?" Li Xun shook his head, smiling.

He knew Ye Han had an old man accompanying him. In all likelihood, that old man had already imparted all his knowledge during this time.
