CHAPTER 903: CHAPTER 903: YOU’RE EATING ALL MY MONEY! MINE!

Why "show off affection" in such an exaggerated manner? Aren’t they three living people, truly living people? Please don’t ignore us so completely.

Han Yan snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh: "It’s good you’re back, I’ve been waiting for you."

"Yes, I know." Ye Lanfeng replied softly.

"Have some late-night snacks." Jiang Yuzhe rolled his eyes.

Aunt Xiu prepared some late-night snacks, and as soon as Ye Lanfeng returned, a few dishes were placed on the table.

After eating, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

"Hey, are you awake yet? See if these elixirs are enough." Han Yan returned to the room and took out the elixirs purchased by Che Xiang, and called out in her mind.

These elixirs were of high quality, and due to the strength of Huayue and the others, they didn’t really need them, so Han Yan picked out a few that were useful for them, and she still had more than half left.

Having encountered Dantai Changqing today, Han Yan felt once again deeply aware of her lack of strength, and thus was eager to improve her abilities.

Having undergone meridian clearing and marrow washing once more, although her cultivation potential had certainly improved, the requirements for leveling up were significantly higher than before. Without other adventures, if she were to cultivate like everyone else, who knows how long it would take to advance further?

Of course, relying on elixirs can also allow rapid leveling up, but every medicine has its toxins, and excessive reliance on elixirs would not be good for her future cultivation. She certainly didn’t want the potential gained from meridian clearing and marrow washing to be ruined by elixirs. Moreover, elixirs costing tens of millions each, even with the support of Nanyan Commerce, she couldn’t quite manage.

So, the mystical space connecting Nine Heavens Void within the Star Plate is her best shortcut for advancing.

"Although the quality is somewhat lacking, the variety is complete, and the quantity is substantial. It should be worth a try." Star Illusion Thousand Machine yawned and said.

"Then let’s start." Han Yan said eagerly.

"Don’t rush, let me consume some elixirs to recover some strength first." As soon as Star Illusion Thousand Machine finished speaking, a large mouth appeared on the Star Plate.

Each elixir soared into the air towards the large mouth like rivers converging into the sea.

Then, Han Yan heard a crunching sound like cracking beans.

"One million, two million, three million..." Watching each elixir disappear before her eyes, Han Yan inwardly winced in pain.

In just a matter of moments, nearly ten million worth of elixirs disappeared into the bottomless pit.

Fortunately, she had money; otherwise, Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s appetite would have certainly eaten her into poverty.

Finally, after consuming nearly a third of the elixirs on the table, Star Illusion Thousand Machine stopped.

"Are you full?" Han Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Barely half full, luckily I haven’t restored my former strength. Otherwise, these elixirs wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps in my teeth." Star Illusion Thousand Machine said, still unsatisfied.

This glutton! You eat but it’s my money, my money! Han Yan secretly wiped away cold sweat.

"There’s one thing, I don’t know if I should ask or not?" Han Yan asked weakly.

"Go ahead." Star Illusion Thousand Machine said generously.

"How did you die before, were you starved to death?"

"..."

"I knew it, otherwise, where would you get such a good appetite?" Han Yan nodded, looking as though she had confirmed something.

"Are you going to cultivate or not?" In her mind, Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s furious roar echoed.

...

Han Yan swept the remaining elixirs on the table with her sleeve, ready to cast the hand formation, but as soon as her mind moved, she felt her body lighten, and entered into the mystical space of the Star Plate.

"Is this also okay, even without casting the hand formation?" Han Yan’s face was filled with delight.

"Do you think Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique is practiced in vain? This Star Plate has already undergone Blood Recognition; as long as the Divine Sense is strong enough, it can be controlled at will, without needing any hand formation. If the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique is cultivated to Great Success Realm, you can even transform the divine into form and injure enemies with the divine, the wonders of which are beyond your imagination." Star Illusion Thousand Machine said with pride.

"That’s amazing, did you ever cultivate to the Great Success Realm before?" Han Yan was then aware of such wondrous use in Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique, and said with leisurely aspiration.

"Um... still a bit short." Star Illusion Thousand Machine suddenly deflated and said unassuredly.

"Talking so much, turns out you can’t do it either, all just bragging." Han Yan expressed deep disdain for Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s self-praising vanity.

"Enough of the nonsense, concentrate and calm, prepare to start." Star Illusion Thousand Machine was jabbed at his sore spot by Han Yan, furiously shouted.

Han Yan dared not joke again, collected her mental state, and quietly operated the Cultivation Technique.

"Divine Illusion Sword Heart, Shattering Void!" In her ear, came Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s extremely grave voice.

Usually, she often laughed and bantered with Star Illusion Thousand Machine, Han Yan rarely saw him so grave, evidently, breaking through this outer space barrier was exceedingly difficult and perilous for him.

As the voice fell, the Star Plate at her heart emitted a dark blue light.

The dark blue light emanated from the Star Plate, rapidly enlarging, and the light transformed from dark blue into translucent, holy silver light, so bright it was almost blinding.

Then, the silver light condensed, and a three-foot long sword, half real, half illusory, appeared before Han Yan.

The presence of energy emitted from the sword was entirely different from the Qi of a Swordsman or Sword Master; instead, it somewhat resembled the Gang Qi of a Sword Saint, but purer and more solid, giving off an irresistible aura.

Just as Han Yan was carefully feeling the energy of the Sword Light, the Sword Light had already sliced out, resting on the outer transparent barrier of space.

"I’ve already exhausted my energy, the rest is up to you." Star Illusion Thousand Machine said tiredly, then her mind fell silent again.

"Crunch" went a crisp sound, the unstoppable Sword Light shattered like a bubble, turning into strands of colorful light images.

Immediately following, an overwhelming power cascaded with a world-destroying momentum.

Only now did Han Yan see, where the Sword Light had passed, leaving a hair-thin crack on the space barrier, the crack was so microscopic and quickly repaired by the Star Plate itself, but in that brief instant, that destructive Star Power had already swept in violently like a tsunami, like a volcanic eruption, like heaven collapsing.

In an instant, Han Yan was swept into that terrifying force, the chaotic and wild Nine Heavens Star Power surged into her meridians unstoppably.

In a moment, several meridians cracked open, piercing pain poured into her mind, the agony almost made Han Yan faint on the spot.

Han Yan’s face turned pale, this was just a hair-thin crack, merely a fleeting moment, the influx of Star Power was already so terrifying, the power filling the seemingly calm endless void, how frightening could it be?
