Chapter 651: If the Cultivation Technique Can Be Sold, Then It’s All Good

“My name is Hou Jun, and I’m someone who has survived eight life-and-death trials.”

Hou Jun had heard that every trial that was a multiple of nine would have its difficulty reduced. He guessed that this life-and-death trial, being grouped with a bunch of newcomers, was one of those reduced-difficulty trials.

“When I experienced my first trial, a senior explained the Saha Land to us. So, I’ll explain it to you all once too. Cherish my limited goodwill.”

“First, I can tell you that you are all still alive.”

“But what happens after this is hard to say. After all, out of the dozen or so people who started with me, I’m the only one who has survived until now.”

Everyone here had already experienced death once, so they weren’t scared by Hou Jun’s words. Even the chubby guy was trying hard to steady himself.

“Next, you will soon face your first life-and-death trial.”

“A life-and-death trial, as the name implies, is a test with an extremely high mortality rate. I wonder how many of you will remain after the first trial ends?” Hou Jun licked his lips.

“The worlds you go to for the trials are unpredictable. Technology, martial arts, xianxia… anything is possible.”

“You’d better hope it’s not xianxia. Xianxia is universally recognized within the Saha Land as the most difficult type of life-and-death trial. After all, xianxia worlds have great beings capable of moving mountains and filling seas, altering landscapes on a whim.”

“May I ask when we can leave this place?” A well-behaved-looking girl raised her hand. Jiang Li noticed she had cuts on her wrist and water stains on her arm.

“Once you pass the first life-and-death trial, you can return to the real world. Then you wait for the second trial to arrive.”

Hou Jun warned everyone, “You must remember, you cannot speak about the Saha Land to anyone outside. If you do, you will meet an unnatural death.”

“If you think there’s rest time between this first and second trial, you are gravely mistaken. Each trial is more difficult than the last. If you slack off and fail to progress, you will only die in the second trial.”

The chubby guy asked, “Then how should we get stronger?”

Hou Jun turned around, facing the pitch-black void, and said loudly, “I request the Lord of Saha to publish the exchange list.”

As his words fell, a long list of item names and their corresponding prices appeared on the altar.

A light screen also appeared before everyone, displaying the amount of Void Points they possessed.

“What does this ‘one hundred’ mean?” the chubby guy continued asking.

“Those are your Void Points. You haven’t undergone a trial yet, so you all have the initial amount: one hundred.”

The chubby guy quickly found what he could buy. “One hundred Void Points can buy… one pistol and six bullets?”

The chubby guy was dumbfounded. Even if he bought the gun, he wouldn’t know how to use it. With six bullets, he probably wouldn’t hit a single shot.

“How do we obtain Void Points? Can we only get them by passing the trials?” the well-behaved girl asked.

“You can sell your belongings to the Lord of Saha in exchange for Void Points.”

The well-behaved girl took off her necklace and shouted, “Lord of Saha, I want to sell this necklace!”

The necklace vanished, and the girl received one Void Point.

“Why only one point? My necklace could buy dozens of guns!” The girl stamped her foot in frustration.

She was someone who pursued excitement. She found reality boring, which was why she chose to commit suicide. She never expected that failing to die would land her in a place like this.

She had hoped to rely on a large amount of Void Points to exchange for treasures and wreak havoc in the trials.

Hou Jun explained with a smile, “Don’t apply real-world pricing to the Saha Land. There’s only one standard here for measuring value: the ability to make you stronger. Things that can make you stronger are valuable; things that can’t are worthless.”

“In the eyes of the Lord of Saha, your necklace is no different from a piece of string.”

“Look at the valuable things on the exchange list. They are either cultivation techniques, enhancement serums, Spiritual Treasures, or high-powered lethal weapons.”

“What are cultivation techniques? Are they for health preservation like that Taoist priest over there?” the well-behaved girl asked, pointing at Jiang Li.

Hou Jun shook his head. “Not his kind of flashy but useless stuff. Cultivation techniques are a chance at immortality. Obtaining a technique allows you to embark on the path of immortality, achieving longevity without worry.”

“See the technique ranked at the very top? That’s a technique that can allow a person to become an immortal.”

“Becoming an immortal, a mythical feat, can be realized here in the Saha Land. That should tell you how miraculous this place is.”

“Even if you are a billionaire in reality, here, you are at the very bottom of the hierarchy.”

“I heard from fellow trial-takers that a few days ago, several cultivators appeared in the Saha Land. The one with the highest cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation stage. Utterly terrifying.”

“What does the Spirit Transformation stage represent? Soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth, overturning mountains and rivers. When enraged, they can cause rivers of blood and fields of corpses. Absolutely invincible.”

“The first life-and-death trial would be like child’s play in front of them.”

Jiang Li suddenly asked, “Does the Lord of Saha accept anything? I have something here I’m afraid the Lord of Saha might not be able to afford.”

Hou Jun sneered, thinking this Taoist priest was truly arrogant. “There is nothing the Lord of Saha cannot accept.”

Satisfied with the answer, Jiang Li declared loudly, “Lord of Saha, I’ll sell you the useless system.”

The system remained inside Jiang Li’s body.

Jiang Li thought maybe he hadn’t called it by the right name, so he shouted again, “Lord of Saha, I’ll sell you the Counterattack System. Just give me ten Void Points.”

The void outside the altar twisted and distorted, as if the Lord of Saha was pondering the meaning of Jiang Li’s words. Finally, everything condensed into three words.

[Can’t Afford]

Jiang Li clicked his tongue in disappointment, thinking this Lord of Saha was truly useless.

“Forget it. Then I’ll sell you some cultivation techniques.”

Jiang Li used his Void Points to buy a chair, a table, ink, brushes, paper, inkstones, and a skewer of candied hawthorns. Munching on the candied hawthorns, he began composing cultivation techniques.

Jiang Li glanced at the altar beneath his feet and wrote *The Five Viscera and Six Bowels Altar Technique*. He glanced at the void and wrote *The Void Technique*. He glanced at the gaunt Hou Jun and wrote *The Demonic Ape Method*. He glanced at the chubby guy and wrote *The Spherical Body Technique*…

Hou Jun sneered. Did this guy think the Lord of Saha would accept any random scribbles?

“Lord of Saha, I’m selling you all of these.”

The sneer froze on Hou Jun’s face. He watched as the techniques vanished, and Jiang Li’s Void Points skyrocketed like a rocket.

“Just this little bit isn’t quite enough to use.”

Jiang Li scratched his head and continued writing techniques, selling them, and his Void Points continued to grow.

“That’s more like it. Alright, I’ll take all the top ten items on the list.”

Jiang Li lowered his head, writing and selling techniques.

“Come on, I’ll take the top twenty items too.”

“Top thirty…”

“Top forty…”

“Top fifty…”

Hou Jun was dumbstruck, feeling as if he were in a dream. He watched helplessly as the length of the exchange list shrank, the number of purchasable items dwindling.

Even the big shots within the Saha Land couldn’t spend money so extravagantly.

Who didn’t meticulously calculate every purchase? Did this guy know how difficult it was to accumulate Void Points?

Hou Jun had saved up some Void Points, intending to buy something from the middle of the list. Before he could, Jiang Li had already bought it.

In the end, Jiang Li bought every single item on the exchange list. The altar was piled high and full, leaving no place to stand.

Only two words remained on the list.

[Sold Out]
