韩立's gaze followed the exchange list downwards, the prices of the items listed increasing accordingly.

On the way to Azure Sheep City with Chen Yang and the others, he had intentionally or unintentionally learned some things about the Scaled Wasteland from them. Although they harbored ulterior motives and concealed things in their words, they wouldn't lie about matters concerning the ferocious beasts.

Therefore, he had a rough understanding of the items listed on the exchange table.

The scaled beasts in the Scaled Wasteland were born with innate talent. At birth, they possessed the strength of the Refinement stage or even the Grand Ascension stage. They then increased their strength by absorbing the power of the stars. Therefore, the people here often distinguished the levels of scaled beasts by their age. The older they were, the stronger they were, and the more stellar power their beast cores contained.

From this, it seemed that the Mystic Fighters here, whether they came voluntarily or were enslaved like 韩立, aimed to improve their strength by constantly fighting to exchange for beast cores and weapons from the list.

Here, as long as you could afford the Mystic Points, you could even find scaled beast cores that were tens of thousands of years old. Of course, these cost astronomical figures in Mystic Points.

Although he was very envious of these things now, he was currently short on money, with only ten Mystic Points.

He had to find a way to escape, and he needed to plan carefully. When in adversity, it was important not to lose his composure.

韩立 shook his head secretly, calmed down, and looked around.

"Huh!" He suddenly made a soft sound of surprise, his gaze lingering on an item on the table.

"Taro Beast Core, around two thousand years old, three Mystic Points each."

韩立's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to the stone platform.

"I want to exchange for three Taro Beast Cores that are two thousand years old." He took out his identity token and handed it to a crimson-robed staff member behind the stone platform.

The other Mystic Fighters nearby looked over upon hearing this. Many were stunned at first, and then they showed strange expressions. Some even openly mocked him.

"Are you new here? Don't blame me for not reminding you, although the Taro Beast's core contains a lot of stellar power, the beast's physique is special, causing the stellar power within the core to be disordered, making it extremely difficult to absorb. Most of it will probably dissipate." The crimson-robed staff member glanced at 韩立 and said.

"So that's what's going on..." 韩立 realized, no wonder this beast's core was so cheap.

"Thank you for the reminder." He said with a smile, not intending to change his mind.

He didn't have many Mystic Points now, so he could only exchange for the cheapest Taro Beast.

Seeing this, the crimson-robed staff member didn't say anything else. He took out a silver short rod and tapped 韩立's token. The ten Mystic Points on it instantly turned into one.

Then, he rummaged around for a while before taking out three egg-sized beast cores and handing them to 韩立.

韩立 took the beast cores and put them away. He didn't stay there long and headed towards the Ninth Area.

After passing through a dark passage, a spacious area appeared ahead, looking very much like a wide cave.

The cave was circular, with stone rooms carved out along the walls, numbering twenty or thirty. Each one was marked with a number.

Several white fluorite stones were embedded in the cave's ceiling, emitting a faint light that only illuminated a small area nearby. The light was very dim in other places.

At this moment, a dozen Mystic Fighters were sitting in the cave, talking loudly and occasionally bursting into laughter. When they saw 韩立 appear, they all looked over with surprise and sized him up.

韩立 ignored these people and scanned the cave. He quickly found the room marked "332", walked over, and opened the door to enter.

Just at this moment, a tall, burly man with a scarred face blocked his way, kicking the door shut with a bang.

"Boy, you want to enter without greeting our boss here? That's not in accordance with the rules." The scarred man said with a leering grin, looking arrogant.

"Greetings?" 韩立 asked expressionlessly.

"You're new here, you have ten points, right? Offer these ten points to me, and I'll give them to Boss Poison Dragon. That's the rule here." The scarred man cracked his knuckles, creating a series of popping sounds.

The others all watched with smiles, enjoying the show.

韩立 glanced at the surrounding crowd, remaining motionless and silent.

"Are you deaf, or is your brain not working?" The scarred man glared and slammed his fist against 韩立's door again, creating a loud noise.

"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the road!" 韩立 frowned slightly and said calmly.

"Hehe, Scarface, they don't even see you as anything, calling you a dog!" A round-faced, fleshy man nearby laughed.

"Scarface, you can't even handle a newbie, tsk tsk..." Another bamboo-like man shook his head and said.

The others laughed, their laughter full of mockery.

The scarred man's face instantly turned red, his eyes suddenly becoming bloodshot, like an angry bull.

Although he was tall, his strength was only mid- to low-tier in this Ninth Area, and he was often ridiculed by others.

He could only endure this in silence, while finding some weaker guys to vent his anger on.

Bullying newcomers like 韩立, who looked weak, was the scarred man's favorite thing to do. He never thought that today he would not only fail to bully, but also be humiliated.

"Kid, you're asking for death!" The scarred man roared, his arm like a knife, slashing down at 韩立, creating a sharp whistling sound.

Judging from this momentum, he wanted to split 韩立's head in half.

A cold light flashed in 韩立's eyes. He punched upwards, colliding with the scarred man's arm.

Crack! A crisp sound of bone cracking was heard. The scarred man's arm suddenly became bent, and at the same time, his arm was knocked back, slamming hard into the burly man's chest.

With another muffled bang, the scarred man staggered back a dozen steps, stopping only when he hit the opposite wall, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

The burly man finally reacted, his face showing horror. He stood there motionless, staring blankly at 韩立.

The other Mystic Fighters were in an uproar. They all stood up with a "whoosh", staring at 韩立 with different expressions.

韩立 ignored these people, opened his door and walked in, then slammed the door shut with a "bang".

The stone room was not large, only three or four yards in size. Apart from a stone bed and a table and chairs, there was nothing else.

A section of white tree root was exposed in the center of the roof, and a steady stream of white light poured out from the root, illuminating the entire stone room.

"This is the power of starlight!" 韩立's divine sense swept over the white light, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He moved his divine sense, spreading it towards the inside of the white tree root, trying to investigate the source of the starlight power in the root. However, the material used for the walls of this stone room was so strange that it could block the spread of divine sense, so he had to give up.

"I never thought there would be such a strange object in the world that can transmit the power of starlight." 韩立 murmured, looking at the white tree root.

Although he couldn't explore it with his divine sense, he could see very clearly that the stellar power emitted by the root was not contained within itself, but was transmitted from elsewhere. The white tree root was just a tool for transmission.

However, the stellar power emitted by the root was not much, only enough for ordinary cultivation.

韩立 quickly shifted his attention away from the root, and scanned the stone room with his divine sense. He didn't find any traces of tampering, so he felt a little relieved and sat down on the bed.

Two sets of Mystic Fighter's clothes, shorts and a cape, were placed on the bed.

He frowned as he looked at the two sets of clothes, but he still took off his clothes and put on a set of Mystic Fighter's clothes.

韩立 placed his original clothes on the bedside, his belly suddenly bulged, and he spat out a dark green vial, which was the掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle).

Looking at the掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle) in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

Before arriving at Azure Sheep City, to prevent any unpredictable situations in the city, he had swallowed the掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle) in advance.

Fortunately, he had prepared this in advance, otherwise the掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle) would most likely have fallen into the hands of Chen Yang and the others.

韩立 looked at the掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle) for a moment, then swallowed it back into his stomach and sat down under the white tree root.

Now, cultivation was the most important thing!

韩立 took out a Taro Beast Core. The stellar power in the core was considerable, but it was very scattered, rolling like boiling water.

He frowned slightly, but still opened his mouth and swallowed it, closing his eyes and starting to cultivate.

The Taro Beast Core melted quickly after entering his stomach, turning into a powerful mass of stellar power.

This stellar power was like a wild horse, rampaging in his body and overflowing outwards, completely different from when he swallowed other beast cores.

韩立 hurriedly used all his strength to circulate the 羽化飞升功 (Ascension Sutra), absorbing this stellar power.

Although he used all his strength, as that person had said, he could only absorb a small portion, and the other stellar power quickly dissipated.

But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

The 掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle) in his stomach suddenly trembled, and a soft light emanated from the mouth of the bottle. The overflowing stellar power was suddenly attracted and quickly flowed back.

韩立 was stunned when he sensed this, and then he was overjoyed. He hurriedly circulated the 羽化飞升功 (Ascension Sutra) to absorb this stellar power.

But before he could absorb much, this stellar power merged into the 掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle).

He slapped his forehead and sighed helplessly.

In terms of absorbing stellar power, how could he compete with the 掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle).

The stellar power of the Taro Beast Core poured into the 掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle), and a flash of light appeared in the bottle, gradually revealing a drop of green liquid.

At the moment when the green liquid condensed and appeared, the remaining stellar power stopped entering the bottle, and swirled around the 掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle).

Seeing this situation, 韩立 was stunned, then exhaled a long breath and continued to circulate the 羽化飞升功 (Ascension Sutra) to absorb the stellar power near the mouth of the bottle.

This stellar power had been guided by the 掌天瓶 (Palm Heaven Bottle), and was much gentler, making it quite smooth to absorb.

And the stellar power emitted by the white tree root at the top of the stone room also gathered and merged into his body.

Streams of stellar power merged into the second mystic acupoint of the 羽化飞升功 (Ascension Sutra). The second mystic acupoint slowly trembled and gradually began to open.

While 韩立 was cultivating, the atmosphere in the Ninth Area became somewhat delicate.

Scarface sat cross-legged in front of a closed stone room, seemingly waiting for something. His broken and twisted arm had returned to normal, but the wound was still black, red, and swollen.

He occasionally looked towards 韩立's stone room, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

The other Mystic Fighters in the Ninth Area, who had originally gathered here, saw this and revealed a trace of disdain. After a brief exchange, they also left.
