Chapter 43: The Rebellious Treasure (First Update)

  After returning to Yi's house, Yi Chi immediately dispersed the ten guards, and they didn't seem to like staying with Yi Chi either.

  "Maybe they're still mad at me for scolding them." Yi Chi didn't care, these people's opinions about him were unimportant, they and Yi Chi had already become people from two completely different worlds, destined to never intersect, unless they became enemies, in which case Yi Chi would ruthlessly eliminate them.

  Returning to the Jinghe Courtyard, Yi Chi came in and saw Autumn Rain sitting in the courtyard counting flower petals. This little girl was not only counting but also muttering to herself "bad young master" "big bad egg" and other words that made Yi Chi feel very helpless.

  "Ah, I've been too used to her!" He sighed to himself and walked in, deliberately clearing his throat.

  "Ah!" Autumn rain was startled awake and subconsciously cried out, then saw that the person who came was Yi Chi, so she ran forward and threw herself into Yi Chi's arms.

  "I'm telling you, Xiaoyao, be gentle! Young Master is almost scattered by you." Yi Chi said with a smile.

  "Hmph, bad young master, you're back now. I thought you didn't want to take me with you anymore." Qiu Yu muttered to say.

  "How could it be." Yi Chi was told to sweat, and it was only noon now. There were still more than two hours before the auction, but this little girl couldn't wait.

  Looking at the petals all over the table, Yi Chi couldn't help but think that this little girl had been waiting for him since he left.

  "Hehe, I knew you wouldn't go back on your word once you agreed, Master." Autumn Rain said with a smile, and then glared at Yi Chi with a fierce gaze, as if she would devour him if he went back on his promise.

  "Alright, alright, alright, Young Master isn't regretful after all. Get up, look at the state of the floor you've made, it's all covered in flower petals." Yi Chi said helplessly, pointing at the flower petals on the ground.

  Autumn Rain looked a bit embarrassed and said, "I didn't mean to, I just picked as much as I could."

  "Hey!" Laughing, he wiped Autumn Rain's nose. Yi Chi helplessly shook his head and was about to go get some tools to clean up when Autumn Rain pulled him back.

  "Master, let me do it, you go rest for a while. This afternoon is good to take me to the auction, okay!" The little girl secretly smiled and ran off to fetch the tools.

  "Hehe, this girl." Looking at Qiu Yu's back, Yi Chi smiled and also planned to see what good things he could exchange for. Since Qiu Yu was so obedient, Yi Chi didn't hesitate to walk into the room.

  ......

  After closing the door.

  Yi Chi sat in the chair and began to think quietly.

  "What should I exchange it for?" He asked himself, but Yi Chi couldn't think of what he should exchange it for.

  Douteki? I already have it, and besides, having too many doutekis is not good, the current Wind God Push is more than enough for Yorito use for a long time, so there's no need to exchange for now.

  Weapons? It seems like I'm using my legs, so weapons aren't that necessary after all. If I were to exchange for a weapon, then I'd also have to exchange for the corresponding fighting skills, which would be too energy-consuming. I reckon my current energy points aren't enough anyway.

  Armor? This seems like something that should be exchanged for.

  "Yi Tang, do you have any good protective gear recommendations? Something affordable would be great." Since he thought of exchanging something, Yi Chi asked Yi Tang, after all, he was an expert in this area!

  "Hehe, of course there are, but they're all quite expensive. Never mind, let me show you a few more affordable ones." Yitang's rich and magnetic voice echoed in Yichi's mind.

  "Really? I'll just take a look then." Since Yitang said it's quite expensive, it must be really pricey. But looking doesn't cost energy points, so I'll just take a look first. Having a goal will give me the motivation to earn more energy points later on.

  "Alright, so first is this." Yi Tang said, and a set of words and images appeared in the mind of Yi Chi.

  This armlet is radiating blue light.

  Xinglan Chain: A spiritual artifact that can transform into a suit of armor on the body's surface after energy input, providing excellent defense. The lowest level can withstand a full-force blow from a one-star Douling-level expert without shattering, while the highest level can withstand a blow from a nine-star Douwang-level expert without shattering. Defense power varies depending on the amount of energy input. Exchange requires 200,000 energy points.

  "Wow, even the strongest Dou Huang can't defeat him!! Awesome, truly awesome!! Unfortunately, if I were to input Dou Qi now, I estimate that I could only meet the lowest requirements and withstand a Dou Ling's early-stage high-level expert." Yi Chi said in surprise as he looked at this 'Star Blue Chain'.

  "Not bad, with your current Qi amount, even if you put it all in, you can only withstand a full-force blow from the Seven-Star Fighting Spirit. And after that, you won't have any strength left to fight back. To maintain this Star Blue Chain Phantom Armor, with your current Qi amount, you can only keep it up for about three minutes at the lowest standard, and that's assuming you don't use any Qi for anything else. If you do, the time will be even shorter, unless your recovery speed increases." Yi Tang in the Exchange Space also spoke up.

  "Ah, and it's very expensive too, a whole 200,000 energy points. If I exchange this, I won't be able to exchange anything else. Forget it, let me take a look at other things first. If there's really no other choice, I'll just have to wait until later when I have more spare energy points and then make the exchange."

  It's also the case that Yi Chi currently only has 241,000 energy points in total. He still wants to exchange some elixirs to boost his strength. If he exchanges for this Star Blue Chain, then he won't be able to exchange for good elixirs. Even if it's just a small restoration pill, it would require 20,000 points.

  "Alright, so next is this one."

  This time it was a necklace, a necklace emitting white light.

  Moonlight Heart: A magical armor crafted from the essence of moonstone, with a 6th-level magic 'Lunar Protection' engraved inside. When the wearer receives fatal damage, it can automatically activate to withstand a full-force attack from a One-Star Dou Zong. It has a cooldown period of one month, which can be reduced by absorbing magical core energy. After use, it requires absorption of a 5th-level magic core's energy to recharge. Exchange requirements: 230000 points.

  "This isn't worth it, it's too not worth it. Although it can withstand a full-force blow from a Dou Zong-level expert, it can only be used once and then has to wait for a month to recharge. If you don't want to wait, you'll need to use a fifth-grade magic core, which is also too expensive. No way, I won't take this." Yi Chi said after reading it, vetoing it decisively.

  "Well, yes, the cost is a bit higher, but if you're slightly stronger in the future, then it's usable. If the magic core is gone, can't you just go kill some magical beasts to get one?" Yi Tang said carelessly.

  "Despise you, I won't exchange the magic core for energy points! If I have more energy points, I can even exchange them for a high-level shield!" Yi Chi retorted.

  "Alright, alright, since you don't like it, let's change into another one. Take a look at this one, it's the best of the best, carefully selected!" Yitang said exaggeratedly.

  "Is it? I'm skeptical." Without giving Yi Tang any face, Yi Chi directly expressed his skepticism towards his words.

  "Uh, you'll know when you see it." After saying that, Yi Tang handed over his carefully selected protective gear for Yi Chi to take a look.

  It's hard to say, but this is a very strange thing, at least that's what Yee Chi thinks.

  This is actually twelve pillars.

  Noble Phantasm 'Twelve Trials': An item from the anime FATE, allows a person to have twelve lives, absolutely the first choice for survival, can only be used once, after use, cannot be reused. Exchange requires energy points: 900,000 points.

  His face twitched convulsively.

  "Die, Yitang! You're absolutely doing this on purpose. You clearly know I can't afford it, yet you still try to tempt me with this thing! Damn you!" Yi Chi said bitterly.

  It's like having a treasure in front of you, but being unable to afford it - this is one of the greatest tragedies in life.

  "Haha, I was wrong, I thought it was 90,000 points!! Sorry about that." Yi Tang said with a smile while Yi Chi was still feeling heartbroken for not being able to exchange.

  "You... you're ruthless!!" Yi Chi gritted his teeth and said.

  "Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing." Yi Tang Tian said shamelessly.

  "Hmph, I've made up my mind, I must exchange it." Yi Chi said with a scowl, and didn't dare to look at the 'Twelve Trials' again, afraid of getting heartbroken.

  "No more exchange, no more exchange! I want to accumulate energy, I want to exchange for the Twelve Trials!!" Yi Chi raised his head, puffed out his chest, and said with a determined gaze, one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the sky.

  "Haha, okay, okay, you have spirit, that's enough!" Yi Tang looked at Yi Chi with a speechless expression, watching his weird movements.

  "Hmph, that day is not far off." Yi Chi said with a vicious tone.

  In the exchange space, Yi Tang covered his face and said with a regretful expression: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have messed with him. Now look, he's gone crazy!!"

  ......

  Hehe, the invincible baby, however, I also made some modifications. It seems that in anime there are some restrictions on it, but here, they're all cancelled, no restrictions.

  Thank you again to all readers, this week's recommendation has reached 220, and on Saturday and Sunday, two more will be released, let the explosion come even stronger!
