Chapter 79: Independent World

Ordinary thatched hut: 10,000.

Elegant bamboo house: 30,000 to 1,000,000.

High grade courtyard: 3,000,000 to 5,000,000.

Small cave residence: 14,000,000 to 30,000,000.

Medium cave residence: 50,000,000 to 100,000,000.

High grade cave residence: 1,000,000,000.

Composite small cave residence: above 1,000,000,000. But this page was grayed out and locked.

Among her current homes, Ye Wan Wan picked the lowest price in the small cave residence tier, 14,000,000 spirit stones.

Within the same tier, prices differ, but the time flow is the same. Only the size and the luxury change, so the price changes too.

Ye Wan Wan didn’t need wide or fancy. She only wanted time flow.

A small cave residence gives a five times time flow.

Ye Wan Wan guessed that the highest composite cave residence might reach eight times, maybe even ten times. But that page wasn’t open to her, so she wasn’t sure.

She figured she lacked permission.

For now, five times was enough.

It would burn more money later.

The early thatched huts were like a game’s first top-up bait. Prices were very low at first. Once you tasted the benefits, the numbers jumped to a new level.

Straight into the millions and tens of millions.

But to Ye Wan Wan, it was worth it.

Inside, five days pass for every one day outside.

One month outside is like five months inside.

Even the anti addiction timer changed from a few days to one full month outside. As long as she spared one month, she could train for five months inside.

A great deal.

Ye Wan Wan didn’t hesitate to press confirm.

Her bamboo house changed at once. The small cave residence was a compact four sided courtyard, very simple.

What pleased Ye Wan Wan was that this time the system was generous. There were two quiet rooms on the east and west for meditation, one artifact refining room, one alchemy room, and a small courtyard in the middle. Above it hung a small Flowlight Ward Array.

Of course there were no tools.

It only gave space.

The rules said clearly that if you wanted tools, you had to buy them with Flower Spirit stones.

Here, as long as you spend enough spirit stones, it can meet your needs.

Even so, Ye Wan Wan was pleased with just the house.

She brought Star Marsh, Dream Spirit, and Illusory Dream Elder inside. When Illusory Dream Elder stepped into the space, his face showed deep shock. He asked three questions in a row: “Is this a Spatial Realm? How can there be a Spatial Realm like this, with rules set by another and different from the outside world? Whose is it?”

Ye Wan Wan said: “I don’t know.”

Illusory Dream Elder’s shock only grew. Even though he was only a memory body, nothing in his inherited knowledge could explain this.

He even felt that the Spirit Market hid a huge secret plan.

Because this was a Void Realm completely separate from the Nine Provinces.

An independent world that could avoid the gaze of Immortals.

Illusory Dream Elder wanted to go investigate. But he soon found he couldn’t explore the Spirit Market at all. When he tried to peek into this world, a terrifying pressure fell on him.

It felt like a warning, and also like something was about to erase him.

Illusory Dream Elder felt fear.

The fear of death and vanishing.

Only when Ye Wan Wan spoke did the crushing pressure fade.

She said: “Don’t waste your effort. Right now the Spirit Market only has the home and trade systems open. Nothing else.”

Outside the cave residence stretched a desert.

A boundless desert. No matter how far you walk, you see no end and no neighbors. Here that concept doesn’t exist. Inside your cave residence boundary, only you exist.

The token entrance is locked to your soul aura.

No matter which token you use, as long as the soul matches, Ye Wan Wan can enter.

But if she used the disciple token, Heavenly One Sect’s special Spirit Link Formation and tracking array made it easy for others to lock onto her location and spy on her identity.

That’s why Ye Wan Wan had Li Wan Zhi make a few small alt accounts.

No matter which one she used, the home instance was still her cave residence.

Otherwise, if each alt needed a separate upgrade, Ye Wan Wan wouldn’t waste that many spirit stones. [Do I look made of money.]

Illusory Dream Elder sat on the stone step of the courtyard, doubting life. Star Marsh, the little stone, rolled here and there.

It popped out tiny arms and legs, planted itself before Ye Wan Wan with hands on hips, and said: “Master, the time flow here is great, but the spiritual energy isn’t as strong as in Star Marsh Lake.”

“Yes,” Ye Wan Wan said briskly: “So I plan to borrow Star Marsh Lake to repair my Golden Core.”

Star Marsh asked: “How do we borrow it?”

Ye Wan Wan said: “Open the Violet Cloud Ring here and let me inside. With the five times time flow, we win both ways.”

Star Marsh, Dream Spirit, and Illusory Dream Elder: “…So smart.”

Ye Wan Wan said: “…I think I now understand why you failed your Ascension.”

Illusory Dream Elder: “…”

No need to be that direct.

Illusory Dream Elder said sternly: “That wasn’t me. I’m only a remnant soul that carries memories.”

Ye Wan Wan gave him a look: [Do you think I believe that.]

Star Marsh opened an entrance to the Violet Cloud Ring. To let Ye Wan Wan enjoy the view of the new cave residence and make sure the time flow applied, it opened the ring halfway, linking half to the courtyard and half to the Violet Cloud Ring.

Even the Core Formation Fruit Tree grew into the courtyard.

Its branches spread, pouring out spiritual energy.

The whole yard became rich with qi.

Ye Wan Wan hadn’t expected this.

Star Marsh said proudly: “Master’s ring is high grade. It’s a phantasmal tool that fuses with me perfectly, so I can shapeshift into anything.”

The ring was a custom fit container for Star Marsh.

Any companion spirit would love this ring.

Star Marsh thought, lucky I claimed it early.

Ye Wan Wan was pleased and rewarded it with a Mystic Spirit Pill: “This is for you.”

Star Marsh caught the pill with both tiny hands, absorbed its spiritual charm, and its eyes lit up. It ran over and asked: “Master, where did you buy this pill? The spiritual charm and life force are so strong. Do you have more?”

Already seated under the Core Formation Fruit Tree, Ye Wan Wan said: “I grew the Mystic Spirit Grass myself and kneaded the pill myself.”

Spiritual charm? And life force?

Dream Spirit zipped to Star Marsh’s side and said: “Let me try it!”

“No.”

Afraid Dream Spirit would grab it, Star Marsh stuffed it into its own mouth, clapped both hands over its lips, and swallowed.

Dream Spirit fumed: “You stinky rock, you can’t even digest scraps. Why eat it. Can you even pass it?”

“I can.”

With that, it squatted, and with a soft pop, squeezed out a tiny bit of medicine residue. Done, it looked proudly at Dream Spirit, as if to show off: See.

Dream Spirit: “…”

Ye Wan Wan: “…”

She snapped: “You two, go roll over there and stay out of my way!”
