The reason why Lu Li was called a spendthrift was that Lu Li bought elixirs for body refinement and soul nourishment.
Body refinement was of little value to many warriors because there were powerful armors in the world. With super armors on, one's defensive abilities would be enhanced.
What was more, there were many defensive skills in the world. Therefore, body refinement was of little value. It was slow and meaningless.
It was a waste to spend so many Celestial Stones on elixirs for body refinement.
There was no need to buy elixirs for soul. There were several treasured lands in the Grim Reaper. As long as one cultivated there, one's soul would grow naturally.
More importantly, unless one wanted to become a powerful soul warrior, it would be pointless to improve one's soul too much.
There were many treasures for soul defense in the world as well, such as ninth rank Enchanted Souls and even holy rank Enchanted Souls. With enough Celestial Stones and good luck, one could buy them.
There were powerful soul warriors in the Chaotic Star Region, but they were all from strange races that had talents in this area.
For example, the Soul Clan was the most powerful clan in the Chaotic Sky Star Area. Every warrior in their clan was a soul warrior. The two strongest old men in their clan could use their soul attacks to compete with warriors at the Great Perfection Realm.
If one didn't have talent in the aspect of the soul, it would be almost impossible to become an expert at the level of Great Perfection of the soul.
It would be pointless to spend countless resources and time only to be able to compete with warriors at the perfect perfection in the end.
The higher the level of soul, the harder it was to cultivate. The resources required would increase exponentially.
It was the same for body refinement. Lu Li might have taken out 20 billion in one go, but he couldn't improve much even if he exchanged all of them for elixirs.
For many warriors, they would rather buy a ninth rank Enchanted Soul or a super armor with so many Celestial Stones. That way, they would be able to achieve what they wanted. Why bother to cultivate?
The patriarchs of the Grim Reaper tried to persuade Lu Li, but he didn't say anything.
He himself was not strong in the aspect of True Meanings of Laws. If he wanted to rely on True Meanings of Laws to increase his combat power, he would need to spend too much time, and he might not even be able to do so.
His physical body and soul already had a very good foundation, which was also the second thing he relied on the most. What was the point of buying a battle armor?
If it could be cracked by a powerful warrior, then he would lose 20 billion in one move.
Small grains of sand make a tower!
Though the path of physical body and soul was difficult, Lu Li wanted to try. He was satisfied with his current abilities. How much further could he go?
Could he still walk forward?
Lu Li wouldn't ask for too much. Celestial Stones didn't mean much to him anyway. He didn't mind paying 20 billion.
The elder of the God of Death brought Lu Li into the inner treasury after failing to persuade him.
The Death God's warehouse stored a large number of divine medicines and divine materials. A portion of these were purchased, and a portion of them were obtained by the Death God's martial artists and sold to the Death God.
Lu Li didn't have to go out to buy the elixirs that he wanted. The warehouse of the God of Death could satisfy him.
Even if Lu Li were to take out two trillion celestial stones, he would only be able to purchase one-tenth of the Death God's inventory at most.
In the inner treasury, there was a detailed introduction to every stalk of Godly Medicine, every pill, and so on. The prices were transparent, and there was no deceit.
As the ace of the Grim Reaper, Lu Li had a 20% discount, which was much lower than the market price.
Lu Li spent the 20 billion in one go on buying thousands of herbs.
These Godly medicines were all top-grade Godly medicines. They were of a higher grade than most of the Godly medicines he had obtained.
Back to his own manor, Lu Li went into closed-door cultivation to consume the elixirs to improve his body and soul.
Actually … if Lu Li was not in a hurry, he wouldn't have to consume soul-related elixirs at all. He had the Holy Soul Bead, which was helping him improve his soul all the time. The speed was not much slower than consuming the elixirs.
In tens of thousands of years, Lu Li's soul would have a qualitative leap.
Lu Li didn't want to wait. After cultivating in the manor for more than 10 days, he didn't hear from Yu Yang. He went to a treasured place of the Death God.
As the ace of the Grim Reaper, he had many privileges. For example, he had access to some top-level treasured places. Of course, the length of time varied.
The place he entered was called the Realm of Dreams. Cultivating in this realm would automatically strengthen one's soul.
As the ace of the Grim Reaper, Lu Li could go there to cultivate for one year every 10 years. Each time, he could stay there for a maximum of three years.
But there was something wrong with this realm. It could confuse one's mind and make one unable to tell the difference between illusion and reality.
If one's willpower was not strong enough, cultivating there for too long could lead to problems with his soul. Therefore, he could only stay there for a maximum of three years at a time.
Lu Li asked Guan Yang and the others to wait for news in the manor while he went to the Realm of Dreams with a large number of elixirs.
The Realm of Dreams could only be entered from the Heaven's Edge City. The Heaven's Edge City was the only entrance. It was very safe inside.
"This is amazing …"
After he went in, Lu Li saw nothing but whiteness around him. But when he closed his eyes, he could feel colorful lights coming from all directions, which made him dizzy.
Lu Li closed his eyes and cultivated for a while. Then he exclaimed.
No wonder the warriors of the super races were improving so fast. No wonder the Death God had so many young elites.
With so many treasured places, it was hard to cultivate slowly.
Staying here, Lu Li felt his soul was growing as fast as the Holy Soul Bead.
The young masters and young ladies of the Death God only needed to cultivate here when they had nothing to do, and their souls could be improved easily …
This was also the reason why the young masters and young ladies of the Death God thought Lu Li was a spendthrift. Cultivating his soul here was fast enough. Why would he waste so many celestial stones?
Lu Li didn't think too much. After half a day, he went into closed-door cultivation. He kept consuming elixirs, and his physical body and soul were growing fast.
He planned to cultivate here until the three years were up.
He would not go out unless there was some news from the middle-ranked king realms or Yu Yang had something urgent to discuss with him.
He was not in a hurry to go out on a mission. After all, one mission every 10 years was enough.
He needed to keep a low profile for a while so that the outside world and the young masters and young ladies of the Death God would forget about him.
As an assassin, he must keep a low profile if he wanted to live well. Otherwise, he would die easily. The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.
The elixirs could be consumed quickly. Lu Li could consume one elixir for body refinement and one for soul nourishment in a day.
He bought more than 3000 super elixirs with 20 billion. If he were to consume them continuously, it would be gone in a couple of years.
After Lu Li went to the Realm of Dreams, there were fewer discussions about him within the Grim Reaper. Gradually, as other things happened, Lu Li was forgotten by other warriors.
Three months later, Solar Feather came back and went to Lu Li's manor.
When he learned from Guan Yang that Lu Li had entered the Realm of Dreams, he did not tell Guan Yang to inform Lu Li. Instead, he told Guan Yang to inform him when Lu Li came out.
Time flew by. Soon, one year and eight months had passed. Finally, the jade talisman in Lu Li's hand cracked.
He opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. He couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.
He stared blankly at the broken jade talisman in his hand for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After confirming that the jade talisman was broken, he suddenly stood up, his face filled with excitement.
The shattering of the jade talisman could only mean one thing, and that was that there was news from the middle king realms. Those Saint Emperors had been gone for more than a year, and they had finally sent back news.
