Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhuo Yi's pale face, now breathless, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

He considered himself strong, and even when facing Yang Tianren, whose cultivation level was stronger than his own, he could remain calm and fearless.

But he had overlooked one thing.

Although he was powerful, the people around him were ordinary; if an enemy wanted to harm his family and friends, Li Xiaoyao was almost powerless to resist.

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, picked up Zhuo Yi, bent down to kiss her forehead, and said softly, "I will definitely resurrect you, wait for me."

Zhuo Yi was placed by Li Xiaoyao into the System Space, where he stacked Spirit Stones to make a bed for Zhuo Yi to lie on.

The rich spiritual energy nourished Zhuo Yi's body, ensuring that her flesh would not decay.

After doing all this, Li Xiaoyao released the sniper's soul and looked at him with an indifferent gaze.

The sniper's soul trembled and immediately knelt down, saying, "Immortal, please spare my life."

Li Xiaoyao sat down, brushed off his clothes, and said indifferently, "I ask, you answer."

"You speak, and I will certainly tell all I know."

"Who sent you?"

"Yang Tianren, it was Yang Tianren."

Li Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed.

Yang Tianren, it turned out to be this old fellow.

A killing intent rose in Li Xiaoyao's heart. He had thought that Yang Tianren had simply been making threats, but he hadn't expected the man to be bold enough to send someone to assassinate him.

For Zhuo Yi, as well as for himself, this grudge, Li Xiaoyao had to avenge.

"What is Yang Tianren's status in Tian Jian Sect? How is his cultivation level within the sect?" Li Xiaoyao remembered Yang Tianren saying he was from the Pingcheng Tian Jian Sect.

The sniper said, "He is the Seventh Elder of Tian Jian Sect, his cultivation level ranks third, just below the Sect Master and Great Elder."

Yang Tianren was indeed a Cultivator at the first stage of the Abstinence Realm, and such a powerful cultivation level only ranked third in the Tian Jian Sect.

That meant there were at least two more experts in the Abstinence Realm within Tian Jian Sect.

Li Xiaoyao was not impulsive. After understanding the general situation of the Tian Jian Sect, he decided to postpone his revenge for a few days.

"Very well," Li Xiaoyao said to the sniper, speaking softly.

The sniper's heart leapt with joy and he said, "Immortal, I was completely deceived by Yang Tianren. If I had known how formidable you were, even if you gave me two extras guts, I wouldn't dare to lay a finger on you. I beg the Immortal to spare my life."

Li Xiaoyao's smile was very cold as he said, "Spare your life? Heh..."

The sniper felt a bad premonition, and suddenly, he felt a searing heat approaching him.

The sniper instinctively looked down, only to see a blaze engulfing his lower body, wrapping around him.

"Ah!" The sniper screamed miserably, trying to flee, but he couldn't move his body at all and could only watch as the brilliant golden flames devoured him.

Fear and pain, like thousands of insects gnawing at his heart, consumed him bit by bit.

Li Xiaoyao did not kill him immediately but instead used Jin Yuan Fire to slowly roast his soul, allowing him to experience pain in all its forms.

After about fifteen minutes, the sniper's soul was finally completely burned into nothingness.

Having dealt with the sniper, Li Xiaoyao went down to the Spirit Stone Vein.

Li Xiaoyao's method of collecting Spirit Stones was simple; he just kept sweeping them up with his spiritual power.

This method was limited in efficiency, and after collecting continuously for a night, Li Xiaoyao could collect about three million Spirit Stones.

But this way, Li Xiaoyao had no time for cultivation.

At one-thirty in the morning, Li Xiaoyao sat on the Spirit Stone Vein, closed his eyes, and entered the System.

He felt he needed to buy a machine to replace himself in collecting these Spirit Stones, otherwise a whole day's time was simply not enough.

Li Xiaoyao entered the System, expertly clicked on the modern high-tech category.

He had browsed this category many times, each time with great enjoyment, but he always ended up retreating due to the terrifying prices listed below.

The modern high-tech category, as the name suggests, sold all sorts of high-tech products.

Things like Gauss sniper rifles, Black Magic footpads, micro-nukes, and so on.

Li Xiaoyao clicked on the auxiliary class weapons, and after navigating through the detailed categories, finally found a high-tech product to his liking.

"Spirit Stone Harvester: With the emergence of Spirit Stone Veins, relying solely on manpower to collect Spirit Stones has become too cumbersome. Hence, humans invented the Spirit Stone Harvester."

"Spirit Stone Harvester version 1.0, price: 500,000 Spirit Stones, can harvest 7,000 Spirit Stones per minute."

"Spirit Stone Harvester version 2.0, price: 2,000,000 Spirit Stones, can harvest 20,000 Spirit Stones per minute."

Li Xiaoyao was shocked by the price; a single machine actually cost 500,000 and that was just the basic version. The upgraded version cost 2,000,000, a price four times higher, a truly astronomical figure.

This price was even 400,000 more expensive than Jin Yuan Fire Seeds.

But upon further thought, Li Xiaoyao understood.

A machine for 500,000, harvesting 7,000 Spirit Stones per minute, amounted to 420,000 in an hour, and 4,200,000 in ten hours.

The return on investment was just a matter of minutes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xiaoyao immediately bought the 1.0 version of the Spirit Stone Harvester, and after briefly familiarizing himself with it, he threw it onto the Spirit Stone Vein and began harvesting.

The Spirit Stone Harvester was engraved with a Teleportation Array, which transported the harvested Spirit Stones to the Storage Space.

Li Xiaoyao placed the Spirit Stone Harvester on the Spirit Stone Vein, while he himself dived into the combat simulation system.

The combat simulation system had a feature that Li Xiaoyao was ecstatic about, which was time multiplier.

Within the combat simulation system, one could set the system time to twice, three times, or four times the external world time.

In simpler terms, one minute outside was two, three, or even longer minutes inside the system.

However, accordingly, the consumption of Spirit Stones would also increase significantly.

Li Xiaoyao chose a tenfold time multiplier; for every minute that passed in the external world, ten minutes passed in the system. However, the consumption of Spirit Stones reached a terrifying 10,000 per minute.

In an hour, that was 600,000 Spirit Stones.

It was expensive, but within the range that Li Xiaoyao could accept.

After setting the time multiplier, Li Xiaoyao chose a Cultivator at the seventh level of the Condensation Realm as his virtual opponent.

The opponent's race was unlimited, weapons use was unrestricted, and the battle scene had no limitations.

With all settings complete, Li Xiaoyao clicked confirm, and in the next moment, the environment around him transformed.

It was an endless desert terrain, with gusty winds carrying fine sand that swept over everything.

Li Xiaoyao squinted slightly, looking at a man in a black robe who appeared a hundred meters in front of him at an unknown time.

The man was expressionless, his eyes hollow, his right hand holding a Precious Sword, standing quietly in the desert, motionless, as if he were a sculpture.

Li Xiaoyao sensed an extremely terrifying aura coming from the man in black, which made all his muscles tense up in an instant.

"Indeed strong," he's even stronger than Yang Tianren, at least that's the feeling he gives me."

"The strong always prevail, only by battling with such a strong opponent can I become even stronger."

Li Xiaoyao's eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "Then let's battle!"
