After a long pause, Zhao Xingwu finally reacted and asked, "Life essence? Li Changsheng, how much did you consume to restore your almost extinguished spiritual power?"
"Senior Zhao, does our government also have this?" Fang Ping asked, hearing that Zhao Xingwu was not surprised by the existence of life essence.
"Yes, but very little. This stuff is only found on ninth-grade demon plants, but these life essences are extremely difficult to obtain since the start of the great war. They're either consumed or self-destructed. The government's reserves are also very small, and they're not enough to treat some grandmasters. The government doesn't even know that this stuff can restore mental strength." "I'm not sure either. Drinking a few hundred catties should be enough to restore mental strength." Zhao Xingwu suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. A few hundred catties? The government's reserves are probably only a dozen or twenty catties. They're measured by the gram when they're used.
Several hundred kilograms?
"Even if you drained all of humanity, you couldn't get this much," Liu Polu said, seeing this. "Chang Sheng, you tell me, this kid never tells the truth. One dollar can become a hundred million in his hands."
"Ahem, not that much, about a hundred pounds would be enough. But if we really want to treat it, twenty or thirty pounds would be about right. I've wasted too much, otherwise I wouldn't have even forged the Golden Body at the same time."
"Li Changsheng, this is no joke!" Zhao Xingwu, standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer. One of these two was talking about hundreds of kilograms, and the other about tens of kilograms.
When did the essence of life become so worthless that it's now sold by the kilogram?
"Who's joking? Look at all the life energy I have left! I used it all to forge my golden body, and there's still so much left."
As Li Changsheng spoke, his body trembled, releasing a rich life force that everyone present could feel.
"Tell me about how you were able to enter the royal city. How did you manage to deceive the ninth-grade demonic plant?" Zhao Xingwu stopped paying attention to other questions and asked instead.
Fang Ping didn't mince words; he had already come up with an explanation: "It might be due to my mid-level cultivation, bone marrow tempering, and the outward projection of my spiritual power."
Others might be able to do it too. If Brother Wang's mental power reaches the point of being able to project it outwards, he might be able to do it as well.
If Yao Chengjun's bone marrow could be tempered, perhaps he could also—
As Fang Ping spoke, Wang Jinyang, standing beside him, glanced at him warily but didn't say anything more. Fang Ping was clearly making up an excuse; his mental power had long since reached the point of being able to project outwards, and he hadn't been able to hide his aura. However, since he didn't want to talk about it, it was probably something that couldn't be popularized. Otherwise, given Fang Ping's personality, he would have already popularized it and started charging for it.
As Fang Ping spoke, the surrounding grandmasters had inscrutable expressions. No one knew what they were thinking. After all, an eighth-rank master could temper his bone marrow and his spiritual power was definitely stronger than Fang Ping's. So why couldn't an eighth-rank master do it, but Fang Ping could? This was probably just a pretext.
Moreover, since Fang Ping said this, it most likely means that this matter cannot be popularized and can only be an isolated case.
After Fang Ping finished speaking, Zhao Xingwu said, "Old Liu, your Magic Martial Arts Academy really produces talented people. You didn't leave empty-handed from either of the two royal cities, and each of them has their own unique skills."
"Hehe, it's normal for young people these days to be more capable. Things are different now than they were in the past," Liu Polu said with a smile.
"Huh? Principal Liu, you mean someone else entered the royal city too?" Fang Ping asked quickly after hearing what Liu Polu said. "Yes, you went in and stole some life essence and caused some damage. But that kid Lu is something else; he blew up half the mining area."
"This has caused even the ninth-rank warriors to go back to maintain the city. The ninth-rank Earth-level warriors must be itching to kill him," Liu Polu said with a smile.
"Lu Hao?"
Fang Ping thought about how he was able to enter thanks to the system's aura barrier, so what about Lu Hao? Could Lu Hao also have a system?
Thinking about it, Fang Ping became more and more convinced that this was indeed the case. Otherwise, how could Lu Hao have progressed so quickly? Perhaps they weren't the only ones with this wealth value system.
Many people have it. Lu Hao was able to improve so quickly because he gained a lot of wealth points in the Earth Chapter.
After speaking for a while, Li Changsheng was pulled away by the grandmasters to study his current condition.
Fang Ping then went to Lu Hao's place.
"Lu Hao, how did you manage to sneak into the royal city without being detected?"
Fang Ping asked Zhi Xin, "Me? I don't know either. I just have it. It's like an instinct. I had it after I became a Grandmaster. I don't know the specific principle behind it."
Lu Hao glanced at Fang Ping, and could roughly guess what he was thinking, so he said.
"Could you demonstrate for me? I'd like to see the difference between our methods."
Fang Ping said embarrassedly.
"You see, this is it. I call it stealth, which allows you to completely conceal your presence."
Lu Hao demonstrated it to him directly. Anyway, he didn't intend to hide it. He had already reached the Grandmaster level, so he didn't need to care about these small issues.
Fang Ping used his mental power to sense Lu Hao's condition. It was indeed different from his own. Lu Hao had completely blurred himself, allowing his mental power to pass through normally without detecting anything amiss. Fang Ping, on the other hand, had a barrier that isolated his aura.
Even his mental energy couldn't detect anything; it was indeed different from his own. This relieved Fang Ping; it seemed that not many people had a system like his.
As for Lu Hao's ability to conceal his aura, it's likely due to some other fortuitous encounter.
After figuring things out, Fang Ping stopped worrying about these things and began sharing his experiences with Li Hansong.
Lu Hao watched this scene with a smile. Li Changsheng had finally been reborn and was not affected by the butterfly effect. This was the best possible outcome.

Soon, while everyone was catching up and exchanging pleasantries, two ninth-grade auras collided and attacked from afar.
"Be careful here. One of the routes is Wu Chuan, and the other should be Liu Wang. I'll go meet up with Wu Chuan," Zhao Xingwu said with a frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xingwu flashed towards the place where the aura was bursting out.
"Should we go over there? If there's an ambush, we can help clear out the soldiers or something," Zhang Dingnan asked.
"Don't go over there. Elder Zhao told us to wait where we are. There are two ninth-rank cultivators. I believe the other ninth-rank cultivators won't dare to attack rashly. We just need to guard the passage. It would be troublesome if the underground cave warriors disrupted the passage." Zhou Dingguo thought for a moment and said.
"Fang Ping, it seems your actions are still ineffective. Old Lu has forced the ninth-rank enemy to retreat and abandon their guard of the passage, while this so-called Prince Liu is still searching for Guardian Wu."
Qin Fengqing said with a smile from the side.
"Hmph, what's the use of just talking? If you're so capable, why don't you go into the royal city and cause trouble? Do you even think you can get in? You'd probably be discovered and blown to bits as soon as you got there."
Faced with Qin Fengqing's teasing, Fang Ping said with a cold face, "I don't have it, do I? If I knew how to do this, I would have gone in and blown up the city long ago. How about we make a deal? You pass on the method to me, and I'll go blow up the city, how about that?"
Qin Fengqing revealed his true colors after only a few words.
