The Master of All-Heavens Systems

Chapter 75: Harvest from Zhou Yi

"Ugh..."Stretching long and hard, Li Yu yawned and climbed out of bed under Little Tingting's disapproving gaze."Brother is a lazy cat, still sleeping in at your age."Little Tingting mimicked a "shame on you" gesture on her face, laughing as she looked at Li Yu."Sleeping until I naturally wake up and counting money until my hands cramp, that's my dream!" Li Yu chuckled, then playfully pinched Little Tingting's cheek. She squealed and ran off."System Alert: The storage space of the Taishang Heavenly Book is about to be filled. Do you want to recycle the items into the system resource repository?""The Taishang Heavenly Book? Filled up? What the... has Zhou Yi really harvested that much in just a few days?"Li Yu was just about to step out when he heard the system alert and stopped in his tracks."A few days? Wait. Given the time difference, a day here is a year there. So, Zhou Yi has been working hard for years now?"Realizing the time discrepancy between the two worlds, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. "It seems Zhou Yi has made a name for himself and can provide resources for me consistently now. Excellent!""Recycle all the items provided by Zhou Yi."Li Yu promptly commanded the system, and in an instant, a large heap of various materials appeared in the system resource repository.The most noticeable among them were... a heap of corpses.There were human, demon, and beast corpses, totaling several hundred."Damn! Zhou Yi has been that ruthless? Is he on a monster-slaying spree to level up?"Staring at the pile of corpses, Li Yu was stunned."Well, they're resources too."Shaking his head with a smile, Li Yu commanded the system, "Extract cultivation insights, combat experience, and pure soul power. Recycle the rest into energy."In a flash, all the corpses in the resource repository vanished, leaving behind only the extracted cultivation insights, combat experience, and pure soul power, neatly categorized in the repository.The energy count, which had been just over two thousand, surged to over six thousand."It seems the ones Zhou Yi killed weren't weak. To gain several thousand energy points, I won't have to worry about energy for a while."Li Yu nodded and turned his attention to the other recycled resources.The remaining items were mainly weapons and such.Seeing these spirit weapons used by cultivators of the Wheel Sea and Dao Palace realms, Li Yu shook his head.Among the dozen or so saint-level weapons he had harvested from the Green Emperor's tomb, only the "Soul-Dispersing Bell" had been used. The rest were still sitting unused in the resource repository. Now, Zhou Yi's contributions seemed somewhat redundant."Maybe I should convert these into energy... wait!"Just as he was about to recycle these items, Li Yu remembered his identity as the "Green Lotus Patriarch."As the Patriarch, he needed to bestow some gifts upon his disciples. Being too stingy would make him unpopular, even as the Patriarch."These items will be perfect!"Seeing these spirit weapons of the Wheel Sea and Dao Palace levels, Li Yu had an idea."Weapons of this level can be used in this world without attracting interference from the world's forces. They're perfect for bestowing upon disciples. Plus, there are over a thousand spirit treasures below the Dragon Transformation realm from the Green Emperor's tomb that can be used if necessary."Thinking this, Li Yu nodded with a smile.A powerful Patriarch, a wealthy Patriarch, and a generous Patriarch would surely be beloved by his disciples. By occasionally bestowing some benefits, the entire Cangwu Mountain would be grateful to the Green Lotus Patriarch.With enough strength to intimidate and enough prestige, controlling the entire sect would be easy for the Green Lotus Patriarch. His commands would be obeyed without question."Haha! Excellent, that's what I'll do!"Li Yu laughed as he looked at the spirit weapons in the resource repository."These items can't stay in the resource repository; they'll have to be moved to the mall space."Even though the Green Lotus Patriarch was his clone, the system was still bound only to Li Yu himself, and the clone couldn't control the system."Grant the Green Lotus clone access to the mall space. Store these items in the celestial residence's storeroom. The clone can fetch them when needed."With this in mind, Li Yu stepped into the mall space and moved all the sub-saint-level weapons and spirit treasures from the system resource repository to the storeroom in the celestial residence.In the next instant, Li Yu returned to the courtyard atop Wangchuan Peak."Tingting, brother is up. Come brush my hair!"Returning to the courtyard, Li Yu exchanged a wicker chair from the system, lazily reclined on it, and called out to Little Tingting."Brother is such a lazybones!"Little Tingting walked over with a comb, pouting and making a face at Li Yu."Hehe."Li Yu smiled and pointed to his disheveled hair, closing his eyes as he lay back in the wicker chair.Little Tingting began brushing his hair, while Li Yu's thoughts turned back to Zhou Yi."It's been a few years. From the harvest, it seems Zhou Yi has really been leveling up through battles. What exactly has he been up to?"Curious, Li Yu had the system remotely connect to the Taishang Heavenly Book to learn what Zhou Yi had been doing all these years."System, have the spirit of the Heavenly Book report Zhou Yi's activities over the past few years. Skip the trivial details."The system connected to the Taishang Heavenly Book, and the spirit of the book immediately began reporting Zhou Yi's actions to Li Yu."So that's what happened?"Li Yu found the report both amusing and surprising.After Li Yu returned, Zhou Yi had left the underground space of the Bronze Immortal Hall and arrived in the territory of the Tianxuan Sect.Zhou Yi, having just acquired the Xuanyuan Sword, decided to test its power nearby. After slicing open a small hill, he attracted the attention of a disciple from the Taixuan Sect.Angered, Zhou Yi killed the Taixuan Sect disciple, only to provoke a hornet's nest. The disciple's friends, relatives, and mentors all came after Zhou Yi.Fighting his way out, Zhou Yi used all his skills and even exhausted his energy by exchanging for many one-time-use abilities, barely managing to escape.With his energy depleted, the spirit of the Heavenly Book suggested that corpses could be exchanged for energy. Thus, facing the relentless pursuit of the Taixuan Sect, Zhou Yi embarked on a path of endless battles.Because of his display of divine body and the Great Void Hand Seal, he caught the attention of the Ji family.Due to his bloodline, Zhou Yi had some goodwill towards the Ji family. However, the Ji family refused to acknowledge his claim as a descendant of a great emperor and even insulted Emperor Xuanyuan, denying his existence.Furious, Zhou Yi turned against the Ji family as well. Although his strength had grown rapidly over the years, reaching the peak of the Dao Palace realm, he was still no match for the Ji family's experts.Currently, Zhou Yi was on the run."Damn! This is straight out of a protagonist's script!"Li Yu found the report both hilarious and exasperating. Zhou Yi seemed to have a knack for attracting trouble, truly living the life of a protagonist.Fortunately, despite being pursued, Zhou Yi managed to scrape by, even looting corpses along the way. Now, he was nearing the Northern Region."The Northern Region? That's a great place! Rich in source mines, with the Taishang Heavenly Book system, a quick scan would surpass any source master! Zhou Yi might actually make a name for himself there!"A sly smile appeared on Li Yu's face."Excellent, I'll soon be harvesting plenty of source stones! Hmm, wasn't the Immortal Medicine of the Qilin, Monkey King, and Divine Silkworm all cut out from sources? Hehe..."
