537 Little Duanmu, Your Package Is on Its Way (2/2)

”He's the first personal disciple under Elder Mie Liezi…”

”I heard he spends most of his time traveling alone in the region of the sword body…”

People started whispering around him. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Others might have sensed a chilly aura exuding from this person, but Wang Baole could sense an immense fury surrounding Mie Liezi's first personal disciple, Dugu Lin. They didn't originate from Dugu Lin but were formed from countless killings, transformed into an aura that surrounded him!

Such a strong bloodlust! Wang Baole's expression was calm. He had been living in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace for nearly a year. He had heard of Vast Expanse Dao Palace's five prodigies from Yun Piaozi as well as through the regional Spirit Internet.

The five prodigies were all personal disciples of the three Elders, and Dugu Lin was one of them. He was Mie Liezi's personal disciple. Out of the remaining four prodigies, two were Feng Qiuran's personal disciples and the other two You Ran's personal disciples.

They were all at the perfected Core Formation realm. They were extremely gifted, their talents incomparable. They rarely appeared in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, and whenever they appeared, they would draw the attention of everyone around them.

An expressionless Dugu Lin walked towards the stone slab amidst the awed looks from the crowd. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out vast quantities of identity tokens and initiated the exchange immediately. The enormous stone slab began to shine with a brilliant light. The young man had submitted too many identity tokens, which necessitated some calculations on the stone slab's part.

Heated discussions began to ring out once again after Dugu Lin handed over the identity tokens. Wang Baole observed the exchange with silent surprise. Even though Dugu Lin hadn't presented any core disciple's identity tokens for exchange, he had handed over thirteen identity tokens belonging to inner sect disciples and more than a hundred identity tokens belonging to outer sect disciples. The sheer number of identity tokens was astonishing.

Even though his exchange couldn't rival what Wang Baole had, Wang Baole knew very well how dangerous the sword body was. To be able to get his hands on these tokens, he must have barged into forbidden areas. Wang Baole grew cautious of this man. He decided against exchanging his tokens now. There was no point trying to start a competition with someone he had no grudges against. It would be completely meaningless to do that.

He noticed how the stone slab would start shining if the number of tokens submitted exceeded a certain quantity. Wang Baole decided that he would split up his tokens and exchange them in batches, even though this might attract unwanted attention.

Wang Baole continued to linger in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace long after Dugu Lin had left. He returned to the stone slab and made his exchanges in batches. He left the identity token of the core disciple for last. The crowd gasped as the stone slab began to shine.

”Someone just exchanged for a large quantity of battle credits earlier… from the brightness level of the stone slab, the exchange must be for at least ten thousand credits!”

”Who the hell managed to do that?”

Due to Wang Baole's prudence, no one realized that he had been the one making the exchanges. Wang Baole waited as the people around him began discussing heatedly again. He even pretended to be surprised. After some time, he finally shook his head and left.

He was beyond excited though. He saw the battle credits that he had got after the exchange, and immense satisfaction unfurled inside him.

He had accumulated more than forty thousand battle credits!

This was a considerable sum even for a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Battle credits were a precious commodity in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Save the missions demanding identity tokens, the battle credits awarded by other missions were pitiful. In addition, continuous cultivation meant a continuous expenditure of battle credits.

With his battle credits in his pocket, Wang Baole went to the Vast Expanse Techniques Chamber merrily. After some thought, he got fifteen sets of cultivation techniques worth a thousand battle credits each. He felt a slight sense of regret though. He had inherited numerous legacies at the Eye of Infinite Techniques, but they were all embedded in his mind. With his current level of cultivation, he wasn't yet capable of replicating them into jade slips. He couldn't send those over to the Federation.

As for the techniques they had gathered in the cave abode—Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan were learning those techniques. As their friend, he wouldn't easily share those techniques. That was why, after some thought, he had decided to primarily obtain new cultivation techniques via exchanging battle credits.

After all, I'm rich now. It's just ten thousand battle credits. That's like petty cash. I still have my Spirit Boats, which will fetch quite a sum of credits as well. Yun Piaozi's been saying that he's almost got a deal settled since six months ago. I'll catch up with him after this. The earnings should be considerable. Wang Baole thought about how rich he was now. Brimming with self-satisfaction, he didn't even frown when he exchanged his credits for fifteen sets of cultivation techniques. He headed straight for the teleportation array formation immediately.

Little Duanmu, your package is on its way! Wang Baole's spirits soared. He could sense the Federation presidency within his reach.
