That was the psychology of humans. The more unobtainable something was, the more precious it was.
Lan Si was no exception; he'd been waiting outside for two months and had even delayed his training. This was a pleasant surprise for Lu Yin.
At this moment, Elder Iron came to Lan Si's side and shook his head. "I still won't see him."
Lan Si's expression was ugly. He had asked Elder Tie to look for Elder Dagu. He wanted to see Master Yuan again because he had a request, but Master Yuan refused to see him.
The Ten Arbiters had very high statuses, but that was only relative to the younger generation. At most, their influence extended to Enlighters with power levels of over 200,000. Master Yuan, on the other hand, was a powerhouse with a power level of over a million. If not for the fact that Lu Yin's status had been recorded in the Hall of Honor, then it would have been impossible for him to request to see Master Yuan so many times.
"Did you say that I'm not here because of what happened last time?" Lan Si said in a low voice. He was in a bad mood.
The last time he had sought an audience with Master Yuan, it had been for the position of Honorary Dharma Child. Unfortunately, Master Yuan had bestowed that position upon Lu Yin, which was why he had challenged Lu Yin to a duel. This time, however, he had other matters to attend to.
Elder Iron replied, "I did, but Master Yuan refuses to see anyone."
Lan Si felt helpless, as he had actually wanted to ask Master Yuan about his futon. All of the Ten Arbiters had one, and it allowed them to enter the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect ruins and search for ancient inheritances. This was one of the Ten Arbiters' advantages, and it was similar to the Neoverse's Star Tower.
They needed to compete for the Star Tower, and they also needed to compete with the Sixth Mainland for the Daosource Sect's ruins.
But he had lost his futon.
Lan Si felt a chill run down his spine when he mentioned this matter. His futon was his most important treasure, and it was also a legacy item that the Ten Arbiters had passed down to the next Ten Arbiters. Now, it had been lost just like that. Lan Si had practically flipped through his cosmic ring to look for it, but he had not been able to find it.
He really didn't know when he had lost it. It had been a few years and he had never dared to tell anyone about it.
He suspected that an absolute powerhouse had knocked him out and then used his blood to steal his futon. Otherwise, how could it have been lost in his cosmic ring?
Who could steal something from a cosmic ring?
That was impossible.
There were only ten futons in the entire universe, and Lu Yin did not believe that. He wanted to see if Master Yuan, a powerhouse who had always been overseeing the Outerverse, would have any extra futons. Even if he had to borrow them, it would be fine. Lu Yin wanted to take advantage of the Innerverse's great war and head to the Daosource Sect's ruins to search for the inheritance.
But now, he couldn't even see Master Yuan's face.
Speaking of which, how did he lose his futon?
It was simply an unsolved mystery.
In the distance, behind the door, the pile of star essence on the ground had almost been completely depleted. If Lu Yin wanted to complete five cycles, he would need about 300,000 star essence. Just now, he had tossed out nearly 400,000 star essence on the ground, and a portion of it had leaked out due to the fire. The rest would be enough to complete his fifth cycle.
When the star essence on the ground completely disappeared, a cracking sound could be heard from Lu Yin's body. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled, causing his hot breath to distort the void.
After five cycles, he finally broke through to the Cruiser realm.
He slowly raised his hand. His physical body had undergone a sublimation. Although it was not as exaggerated as the sublimation in the space of the golden sea, it had still improved a lot. His five senses had also improved.
Before he had broken through to the Cruiser realm, he had been able to fight against a peak Hunter, and by relying on his secret technique and the Aeon Evolution Scripture, he had been able to fight against an Enlighter with a power level of around 200,000. Now, however, he was confident that he could fight against an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000.
The current me should have already surpassed Aden and Cai Jianqiang, he thought to himself.
Aden's defense was unparalleled, and his Thunder Mountain Technique combined with his nine-lined battle force allowed him to fight against an Enlighter.
Cai Jianqiang's attacks were ferocious, and he had beaten his peers into silence. However, that was only in his era, as there had been no Ten Arbiters back then. Cai Jianqiang had been considered the strongest person in the Innerverse during his time, and his status had been equivalent to the current Ten Arbiters. However, that era was different.
Zi Rong had also been an absolute expert in his generation, but he had still been defeated by the Ten Arbiters.
The Ten Arbiters were terrifying, and Lu Yin had broken their records. In terms of innate talent, he was on the same level as the Ten Arbiters, and the Ten Arbiters could easily defeat Enlighters. They were complete monsters.
The Ten Arbiters were synonymous with epoch-making, and Lu Yin was slowly approaching them. He knew that the gap between him and Lan Si was shrinking, but it was not the right time. He still did not have the confidence to defeat Lan Si. He could improve, but so could Lan Si. The other Ten Arbiters had also improved greatly, and Lu Yin still needed to improve.
Right, Lu Yin suddenly remembered that he had been cultivating for ten years. There should be someone in the Ten Arbiters who was almost forty years old!
Once they reached forty years of age, they would no longer be part of the younger generation, and they would have to step down...
Lu Yin did not know how old Lan Si was.
However, he did not like to wait for others to step down. He preferred to be expelled, especially since the person who had caused the death of seventy-two people with the surname Lu had to be eliminated.
He no longer felt anything from the high temperature that had spread across his body. No matter how high the temperature was, it would quickly cool down with the passage of time.
After such a long time, all of the high-temperature fire seeds that could be found in the Outerverse had probably been used up!
Lu Yin felt that it was time to leave. There was no other way, as the Outerverse's resources were limited.
If he had been in the Innerverse, there would have been several Envoys. That kind of fire would have been enough for him to cultivate for a year, and he might even be able to reach the Hunter realm.
Of course, it was not good to cultivate too quickly. His body needed to gradually adapt to the star energy circulation, which required time.
The Cruiser realm was just a small threshold that could not be considered a realm increase. Only when he broke through to the Hunter realm would he be able to do so.
At that time, he would need to use his formcast model. Lu Yin's expression turned serious, as he had been suppressed before.
He stood up and moved, causing his body to creak.
Lu Yin looked at the door. There were so many people outside, and if he did not open it, these people would guard the door until the end of time.
He did not want to be seen by these people when he opened the door, or else he would not be able to use this method in the future.
Lu Yin raised his hand and decided to roll his die. He would give them something good so that their efforts would not have been in vain.
Lu Yin placed his cosmic ring to the side and tapped his die. It slowly spun before finally coming to a stop at five pips, which meant that he could borrow his innate gift. Lu Yin felt helpless. There were indeed many people in front of him, including Lan Si of the Ten Arbiters, but he could not leave.
Hold on, he suddenly remembered something important. Did Lan Si have an innate gift?
Innate gifts were innate, and once one started cultivating, they would be able to determine whether or not they had an innate gift. Lu Yin had always seen Lan Si fight using Overlaying Stacks, including his battle with Bai Ling on the Grayweed Continent. He had never seen Lan Si use an innate gift. Did Lan Si not have an innate gift?
Lu Yin did not know, but he did not believe that one of the Ten Arbiters did not have an innate gift.
It was possible, but not very likely.
If Lan Si had an innate gift, then what was it?
Lu Yin had been thinking about the information that Zi Xianxian and the Zi family had given him. Lan Si was cultivating a battle technique, and his attention had been drawn to it. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had neglected an innate gift.
The importance of an innate gift was self-evident. Without the die's innate gift, Lu Yin would not have been able to reach where he was today. Countless experts in the universe had relied on their innate gifts to reach where they were now, and that was their true trump card.
Lu Yin sighed, as he had almost forgotten that this was a fatal blow. Lan Si had kept a low profile and had never taken the initiative to reveal his innate gift, but that did not mean that Lu Yin did not have one.
He could not be arrogant, as he was completely unaware of the Ten Arbiters' trump cards. Had White Knight completely revealed her innate gift during her battle with Blood Looney?
Lu Yin was not sure either. Perhaps she had, and perhaps she had not.
He felt that it would be better to delay his battle with Lan Si for a while longer.
However, if Lan Si was willing to let him use external items, then Lu Yin could beat Lan Si until he cried. He did not believe that anyone could compete with him in terms of external items. The walnuts that Master Yuan had given him were enough to instantly kill an Envoy.
Lu Yin continued to roll his die.
The second time, he rolled Pips: Time Stop Space.
Lu Yin grabbed his cosmic ring and entered.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin raised his hand to add six months to his time limit. However, he had spent more than 400 star essence.
He had to adapt to his current physical strength in half a year's time, consolidate his battle techniques, and memorize the Stonewall Scriptures. There were many things that he needed to do.
…
Lu Yin's vision flashed, and he returned to that building. It had only been a second in the real world, but he had already been in the Time Stop Space for half a year.
He would not be able to make any progress if he stayed any longer, so he might as well come out.
He continued to roll his die.
This time, he rolled Pips: Three.
In reality, it did not matter if he did not roll it, as he could just leave something behind. However, those people outside had been lucky to roll it.
The first thing that came to Lu Yin's mind was his cosmic ring.
Back on Zenyu Star, he had wanted to try upgrading his cosmic ring, but he had obtained that ball of paper. He did not know if that ball of paper was his own memory, but it had made him homesick, which had delayed him until now.
He tossed his cosmic ring onto the upper screen, but there was no response.
Lu Yin took out the items from his cosmic ring and tossed them onto the upper screen, but there was still no response.
He thought about it for a moment, and decided that it might have something to do with space.
Space could not be created out of thin air, and upgrading a cosmic ring meant that its internal space had to increase. But where would this increase come from?
It could not have appeared out of thin air.
It was a pity that he could not upgrade his cosmic ring, as it would have been another profitable business.
Since he could not upgrade his cosmic ring, Lu Yin flipped through the items in his cosmic ring and decided to upgrade some ancient pills.
He had a total of twelve ancient pills, and he had upgraded three of them at a cost of 20,000 star essence per pill. After using one, he still had two left.
Lu Yin upgraded the remaining nine pills at a cost of 180,000 star essence, and he upgraded another three pills to 300,000 power levels. In other words, he had enough rune lines to heal the injuries of 300,000 Enlighters. He placed one of the pills where the statue had been, and that would be considered a reward for the Enlighters.
He did not want to give any more than that.
That ancient pill had cost him 50,000 star essence, which was not a small amount.
After thinking about it, he decided that it would be too monotonous to leave just one pill. He took out a drop of spring water from the Exquisite Lake and placed it beside the pill. He was about to leave when he thought about it again and decided that he could not be too stingy. Otherwise, those people would not be so excited the next time they came across the ruins.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and took out 10,000 star essence and casually scattered them on the ground. He was quite reluctant to part with them.
How many people could casually throw away ten thousand star essence like Lu Yin had? Even if the Mavis Bank was casually throwing away money, it would still be in cosmic dollars. Ten thousand star essence was equivalent to a billion star crystals, so how much would that be in cosmic dollars?
He could not even count it. He was being too generous.
