Chapter 82: Purchasing cultivation methods for the Clan

At his current financial level, the system store was nothing more than a beautifully decorated museum. Everything inside was tempting, dazzling, and completely unaffordable.

Just as Ryan was about to close the store interface, an unfamiliar icon caught his eye.

It looked like a small basket.

Beneath it was a short line of text:

Item Recycling: Players may sell unwanted items to the system store.

Ryan froze for a second.

Then his eyes lit up.

Sell items?

So the system wasn’t just good at squeezing money out of him, it was also willing to buy things back?

For Ryan, this was far more exciting than any martial art or pill.

Up until now, the only way to obtain God of War Value was through missions, and those came far too slowly. After all this time, he hadn’t even reached 200 points.

But if items could be sold…

That changed everything.

Without hesitation, Ryan clicked the recycling icon.

A new interface appeared, listing every item in his possession that could be sold, each with a clearly marked recycling price.

As long as he confirmed the sale, the item would disappear and be converted directly into God of War Value.

Weapons like the Afterimage Sword, Frost Sword, and God’s Boots were all listed.

Even martial arts appeared on the list.

Other than finishing techniques, all martial arts could be sold.

Ryan’s eyebrows twitched.

Then he noticed something that made his eye twitch even harder.

The Small Golden Healing Pill, which sold for 100 God of War Value in the store…

Had a recycling price of 50.

Half price.

A clean fifty percent cut.

Ryan rolled his eyes so hard they nearly fell out.

The list continued.

All-Attribute Pill: 1 God of War Value

Afterimage Sword: 100

Frost Sword: 250

God’s Boots: 100

Desolate Landslide: 25

Wind Blades: 25

Heavenly Star Palm: 25

Heaven’s Guidance: 100

Dance of Flames: 200

Phantom Step: 25

Three Thousand flames: 500

Sky Eye: 500

Ryan stared at the prices in silence.

Low.

Painfully low.

Dance of Flames was a heaven-ranked martial art that he believed not even the Western Mansion would have such a high rank. In the store, something of that level would cost 400 God of War Value, yet recycling only gave 200.

Selling it meant throwing away half its value.

Of course, Ryan had no intention of selling it. This was just a comparison.

As for All-Attribute Pills, their effect was excellent, but because they dropped too frequently, the system had brutally priced them at 1 God of War Value each.

Cold. Logical. Merciless.

Still, Ryan had no right to complain.

At least recycling existed.

If the system refused to buy items back at all, he wouldn’t even have a way to earn God of War Value outside of missions.

After thinking it through carefully, Ryan decided to sell something, even if the prices were insulting.

He had 107 All-Attribute Pills in total.

He sold 50 of them.

That gave him 50 God of War Value.

The remaining 57 were kept.

After all, there was a little tiger at home that treated attribute pills like candy.

Next came martial arts.

Wind Blades was his only long-range attack. Selling it was out of the question.

Crashing Mountain Land was his core trump card. Absolutely untouchable.

Heavenly Star Palm, however…

That one could go.

As for Dance of Flames, he hadn’t even tested its power yet. Selling it would be sheer stupidity even if he were in need of points.

Weapons were even easier to decide.

Afterimage Sword was his main weapon.

God’s Boots gave a terrifying 30 percent speed boost.

Both were irreplaceable.

The Frost Sword required level 50 to equip.

Selling it now would mean losing 250 God of War Value worth of potential. Once he reached the required level, that sword would be invaluable.

So it stayed.

Phantom Step, Different Fire, and Sky Eye didn’t even need consideration.

One saved lives.

One destroyed evidence.

One revealed truth.

All were irreplaceable.

After a long calculation, Ryan realized something tragic.

He barely had anything he could sell.

In the end, he sold: 50 All-Attribute Pills, Heavenly Star Palm technique, which he didn’t need anymore.

Total gained: 75 God of War Value.

His God of War Value rose to 195.

Ryan sighed.

At this moment, he sincerely wished the system’s drop rate were higher. If monsters dropped more junk equipment, even trash could be converted into value.

With no better options, Ryan closed the recycling interface and reopened the store.

This time, he entered the Cultivation Technique category.

On the Holy Mystic Continent, strength could not grow without cultivation.

And cultivation requires techniques.

The quality of one’s technique directly determined how far a warrior could go.

For ordinary people, techniques were everything.

But Ryan was different.

With the God of War System, he didn’t need to cultivate at all. Killing enemies alone could raise his level.

So he wasn’t choosing a technique for himself.

He was choosing it for someone else.

For Li Wujie.

The strongest cultivation method of the Li Clan was a Sky rank that only The Patriarch and Li Mingtian managed to master. The second strongest was an Earth rank, known as Purification Art. Only disciples with outstanding talent were qualified to cultivate it.

This technique emphasized stability and gradual progress. Each step was solid, each breakthrough steady. However, it carried a fatal flaw.

Its cultivation speed was painfully slow.

As for ordinary members of the Li Clan, things were even worse. Due to limited resources and mediocre talent, most of them could only practice Yellow-rank techniques.

Such low-rank cultivation methods might be enough to live a good life, but if one wants to go far, they are no better than roadside manuals. In truth, the Li Clan’s limited achievements over the years had everything to do with their lack of proper cultivation techniques.

But there was no helping it. With limited resources and connections, this was the best they could manage.

This was precisely why Ryan decided to exchange cultivation techniques for the family.

He had long been thinking about how to truly help the Li Clan rise. Although he possessed many martial arts and powerful skills, those were system-bound. Once obtained, they were automatically mastered by him and could not be passed on to others.

Cultivation techniques bought from the system store were different.

They existed in the form of manuals and could be cultivated by anyone.

After browsing the cultivation section for a long time, Ryan finally selected three Sky rank techniques. There was no helping it; the higher-grade ones were far beyond what he could afford.

The three techniques were Flowing Water Circulation, Decisive Tyrant Art, and Lightning Flash Scripture.

Each costs 50 God of War Value.

Altogether, that was 150 God of War Value.

Ryan’s remaining God of War Value dropped sharply to just 45 points, but he felt no regret. In his eyes, if spending these points could help the Li Clan truly rise, then the cost was more than worth it.

After finalizing his purchases, Ryan withdrew from the system store.

He then went on to participate in two more matches that day. As expected, he won both easily, drawing no small amount of attention.

Gradually, people began to view Ryan as one of the seed contenders. Faintly, his reputation in the qualification examination was rising higher and higher, even showing signs of standing shoulder to shoulder with Fan Wei.

More and more people were curious.

Between Li Wei and Fan Wei, who was truly the strongest genius of the younger generation in Fengyue City?
