Just like the previous three treasuries—
The northern treasury was worth roughly 1.3 to 1.4 trillion as well.
Zhao Xuan spent quite some time making trip after trip, finally transferring every spirit herb, medicine, and life stone into his relic space.
"Perfect."
Stepping out of his now completely stuffed relic space and looking at the emptied vault, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Now… all that's left is to wait for the day the gates open."
Leaving the northern treasury, Zhao Xuan headed straight for the city gates of Life City.
He arrived a full day early.
Finding a narrow alley near the gates, he sat down cross-legged.
While waiting for the gates to open, he began consuming large quantities of high-tier spirit herbs to improve his constitution and spirit.
Truthfully—
For Zhao Xuan, someone with a system cheat, this kind of cultivation was unnecessary. No matter how many herbs he consumed, it would never be as effective as real combat.
But the problem was—
He was simply too strong now.
Even Eighth-rank Great Perfection opponents could be killed without him using his full strength.
Who in this city could still threaten him?
No one.
Not a single person.
Neps and the others posed absolutely no danger to him anymore.
That was why he had come straight to the gates.
To be fair, high-tier spirit herbs were still very effective.
Normally, taking too many at once would cause severe backlash due to their violent medicinal effects.
But Zhao Xuan had vast life energy stored in his body.
The moment any backlash appeared, it was instantly healed.
Under the effects of the herbs, both his spirit and constitution began rising rapidly.
Especially his spirit.
It increased much faster than his constitution.
Because Zhao Xuan's constitution was already absurdly high.
If most of the herbs he consumed weren't Eighth-rank, his constitution wouldn't have increased at all.
His spirit, however, was different.
His total spirit pool wasn't particularly large.
Which meant there was enormous room for improvement.
Although only a small portion of spirit herbs in the world enhanced spirit—
Fortunately, the four treasuries in Life City contained quite a few of them.
That was why his spirit surged so quickly.
Time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, a full day had gone by.
In that single day, under the support of massive amounts of herbs, Zhao Xuan's spirit increased by nearly 100 points—about a fifth more than before.
His constitution, however, only increased by 20 points.
And during that day, Zhao Xuan consumed herbs worth at least 50 billion.
Each time, he stuffed handfuls into his mouth, barely chewing before swallowing.
If others saw this, they would definitely point at him and curse: prodigal son!
But Zhao Xuan felt no heartache.
To him—
50 billion was pocket change.
He had already spent over a trillion just rebuilding his limbs and organs.
Elsewhere in Life City…
After killing a squad of Golden Armor Guards, Neps suddenly said:
"Time's almost up. The gates will open in half an hour. We could still kill another squad, but dealing with that brat Zhao Xuan is more important. Rest five minutes, then we move."
At the mention of Zhao Xuan, everyone's expressions darkened.
Killing intent rose in their eyes—
Along with deep wariness.
Five minutes later, Neps' group headed toward the gates.
Just as they neared—
A team member with Master-level Observation Haki suddenly said:
"I found him! Zhao Xuan is hiding near the gate!"
Neps' expression changed instantly.
"Retreat! Fall back first! We regroup with the others before going back! We've grown stronger these two days, but taking Zhao Xuan alone is still too risky. We might get counter-killed."
They turned and left.
Soon after, another team of seven foreign ability users approached the gates.
In the alley near the gates—
Zhao Xuan sat cross-legged with eyes closed.
Suddenly, he opened them.
"Finally someone's here… no, no…"
A bright smile spread across his face.
"Finally… some fat sheep have arrived."
He stood up smoothly and opened his status panel.
