If an outsider saw a Yuan Jing in front of Li Aotian, he would definitely be speechless in shock.

After all, nearly one billion crystals, this is not a small amount.

You must know that a second-rate top-level sect like the Black Water Gate, in addition to the daily consumption, has accumulated for thousands of years, and there is only about this number left.

Looking at the large number of yuan crystals piled up in front of him, Li Aotian was extremely calm.

Nearly one billion yuan of crystals, which is naturally a large amount of wealth that is unattainable for ordinary people.

But in Li Aotian's eyes, let alone one billion yuan crystals, even if it is ten billion yuan crystals, it is nothing.

Although Yuan Jing symbolizes wealth in the cultivation world, for cultivators, its essence is a consumable item needed for cultivation.

Especially for Li Aotian, the meaning of wealth symbolized by Yuanjing is far less than the meaning of its essence as a consumable.

Unlike ordinary cultivators, the Yuan Crystals that Li Aotian obtained were basically used to cultivate the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Mandate.

And ordinary cultivators, whether they are disciples of sect families with backgrounds or casual cultivators without backgrounds, Yuan Jing is in their hands, and it is only the second thing to use it as a cultivation need, and it is the most important thing to exchange it for cultivation resources.

For most cultivators in the cultivation world, if they want to obtain good exercises, martial arts, supernatural powers, magic weapons, magic weapons, elixirs, and even magic talismans, refining materials, spirit beasts, elixirs, and other things, they all need to rely on Yuan Jing in exchange.

The reason why Li Aotian doesn't have such a big demand in this regard is mainly because he has no shortage of top-level exercises, martial arts, and supernatural powers, and as for magic weapons, there is nothing better than his pair of fists.

What's more, Li Aotian also has the Longyuan Sword, the Longyuan Sword has already become his natal magic weapon, which can be promoted with the improvement of his cultivation realm, and even can forcibly improve his grade with the Sword Devouring Secret Technique.

As for the elixir, magic talismans, and refining materials, although Li Aotian occasionally has a demand, the demand is not large, especially since he has accumulated countless things on his body by killing people and grabbing treasures, and there is no need to consider them at all.

In his previous life, he had reached the top of the mountain, and Li Aotian knew better than anyone that nothing was more important than real cultivation.

Because of this, Li Aotian, who cultivated the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Mandate, did not waste Yuan Jing and his mind on other aspects, because improving his cultivation was the most important thing he would do after his rebirth.

A medium-grade Juyuan array was simply arranged, and then Li Aotian closed his eyes cross-legged, and began to urge the Heavenly Mandate Nine Turns to retreat and cultivate.

In this retreat, Li Aotian's goal is to elevate his cultivation to the ninefold peak of the Xuan King, the realm of the Half-Step Dao Monarch.

The last time Li Aotian retreated was not long ago in the Immortal Spirit Cave Heaven, when he had broken through his cultivation to the current Xuanwang Sevenfold, and consumed a total of about 1.5 billion yuan of crystals before and after.

The reason why Li Aotian broke through to the Seventh Rank of the Xuanwang and stopped, firstly, because he did not have enough time in the Immortal Spirit Cave Heaven at that time, and secondly, because the Yuan Crystal on his body was not enough, and there was only nearly 1.3 billion left.

For an ordinary Xuanwang cultivator, if all the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi stored in the 1.3 billion yuan crystal is refined, without caring about time and the bottlenecks of Gong and Fa, it will not be a problem to break through the cultivation of several small realms, even if it is to break through a large realm.

But for Li Aotian, who cultivated the Nine Revolutions of the Mandate of Heaven, the 1.3 billion yuan crystal was definitely not enough for him to cultivate from the Seventh Fold of the Xuanwang to the Ninefold Peak of the Xuanwang Ninefold.

Li Aotian was already very clear about the characteristics of the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Mandate.

With the improvement of the cultivation realm, the number of Yuan Crystals required to cultivate the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Mandate will gradually increase, and if it breaks through a large realm, its increase will become even greater.

The reason why Li Aotian chose this time to retreat in the Han Mansion was because he promised Han Leng to stay in the Han family for a month to ensure that the Han family would not be threatened by the Seven Killing Hall, and secondly, because he now had enough Yuan Crystals to ensure that he could break through to the ninefold peak of the Xuan King.

The current number of Yuan Crystals on Li Aotian's body has reached a terrifying 4.5 billion.

The reason why he has so many Yuan Crystals, in addition to the remaining 1.3 billion yuan crystals on his body, the rest of the nearly 3.2 billion yuan crystals are all obtained from the treasure troves of the five major families this time.

Although the Meng family and the other five major families are only second-rate families, they are located in Taiyin City, the most prosperous city in the northwest of the Guhua Continent, and the wealth accumulated over the past generations is naturally not comparable to ordinary second-rate families.

In the treasury of the five major families, Li Aotian obtained a large number of cultivation resources, of which Yuan Jing alone obtained nearly 3.2 billion, which was also the main reason why he made up his mind to retreat and attack the peak of the Xuanwang Ninefold.

With the operation of the exercises in his body, a dazzling golden light quickly lit up on Li Aotian's body, and then a golden figure with a height of his feet condensed from his body.

The face of the golden figure was the same as Li Aotian's, he was wearing golden battle armor, wearing the Nine Dragons Imperial Crown, especially the golden sword wheel hanging from the back of his head, which made him look full of divine majesty.

This golden figure is nothing else, it is a miniature version of Emperor Li Aotian's sword venerable.

As soon as it condensed and formed from Li Aotian's body, the golden figure quickly turned from virtual to real, manifesting into an entity.

With Li Aotian's divine thought, a powerful True Yuan coercion suddenly erupted from Zhang Xu Gao's Emperor Sword Venerable Law Phase's body.

Under the pressure of this True Yuan coercion, a series of Yuan Crystal explosions soon sounded in the secret room, but it was a large number of Yuan Crystals on the ground around Li Aotian's body, which began to automatically burst one by one.

With the explosion of a large number of Yuan Crystals, the pure Yuan Qi contained in it suddenly overflowed, filling the entire secret room in an instant.

Fortunately, there was the Juyuan Array arranged by Li Aotian in advance, and the pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the secret room was all imprisoned by the power of the formation and did not drain outward.

In just a dozen or so breaths, tens of millions of yuan crystallized into fly ash, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gushing out of these Yuan Crystals had already made the purity of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the secret room reach the limit, and it was almost not concentrated into a liquid state.

Feeling the richness of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi outside his body, Li Aotian moved again, and then the Emperor Sword Venerable Law Xiang pinched out a mysterious magic trick with both hands.

Hearing the sound of a void with a "hum", a powerful suction force poured out from the body of the Emperor Sword Venerable, inhaling all the massive heaven and earth vitality in the secret room into his body, and began to refine it rapidly......

There are no years in cultivation, and a month passes quietly in a blink of an eye.

In the past month, the door of the house where Li Aotian lives has not been opened, and Li Aotian has never appeared.

"How is it, Senior Li hasn't been out yet?"

On this day, in the courtyard outside Li Aotian's house, Han Lingsha's sharp voice like a silver bell sounded, and the same voice was the seventh time this month.

The objects of Han Lingsha's questioning were the two Han family disciples who were guarding the door of the house where Li Aotian lived.

Both of these people have the cultivation of the Yuan Dan realm, and they were deliberately sent by Han Leng to protect the Dharma for Li Aotian's retreat.

"Miss, Senior Li has never been out of the customs, but since last night, there have been strange noises in this room from time to time. ”

Among the two disciples of the Han family, a middle-aged man in blue replied.

"What noise?"

Han Lingsha asked with some curiosity.

The man in blue shook his head: "I can't say the specifics, but it sounds like the sound of some kind of demon beast sleeping, this sound comes and goes, and it sounds very harsh." ”

"Demon beast, you heard it right, this house was arranged by me for Senior Li to live in, he should be in retreat in the house, how can there be the sound of demon beasts, or the sound of sleeping!"

Han Lingsha said with a speechless face.

"I don't know, but it sounds like the voice of a monster..."

Seeing that Han Lingsha didn't believe it, the middle-aged man in blue said a little helplessly.

"Lingsha, you also came to see Senior Li. ”

Han Leng's voice suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard, and Han Lingsha turned her head to look when she heard this, and found that her father Han Leng and Han Qing were walking towards the courtyard where she was.

"Yes, I'm going to go back to the True Thunder Sect, but before I leave, I want to see Senior Li again. ”

Looking at Han Leng, who had already walked into the hospital, Han Lingsha smiled and nodded.

"Senior Li hasn't come out yet, if there is nothing particularly important, you can go back to the True Thunder Sect first, Senior Li won't be surprised. ”

Glancing at the closed door of Li Aotian's house, Han Leng persuaded softly.

"It's because there is one important thing that I stayed until today, otherwise, I would have returned to the True Thunder Sect a long time ago. ”

Han Lingsha said with a solemn expression.

"What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it?"

Seeing Han Lingsha's serious appearance, Han Leng couldn't help but be curious......
