At this moment, Lin Fan was live selling goods, and countless people were frantically snapping them up.
The 300,000 Blood and Flesh Pills were quickly sold out. Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately ordered his clones to speed up their refining.
The materials required for these Blood and Flesh Pills were very simple, which was why the refining speed could be so fast.
Pill after pill was refined and put back on the shelves, selling out in moments.
Lin Yu watched the sales figures grow, his mouth splitting into a wide grin.
"Keep up the good work!" Lin Yu encouraged him.
Lin Yu gave Lin Fan an encouraging smile, and Lin Fan returned a wry smile.
Lin Yu pretended not to see his wry smile and looked elsewhere, standing still and lost in thought.
This battle had ended in victory for the human race, but the losses were heavy. Although the existence of the Sword God deterred the surrounding races, the Sword God was only one person and could not be everywhere at once.
Moreover, the Sword God was now injured and would not take action again in the short term.
He had a premonition that the period ahead would be the most dangerous for the human race. If they could survive it, everything would be fine. If not, they might face even greater troubles.
"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. I'm already an eighth-tier fighter now. If the human race is truly in trouble, I'll go then!"
With his current strength, ninth-tier powerhouses were no longer a concern.
He found a pile of rocks, sat down on the ground, and looked at the clones diligently refining pills below, then at the eloquent Lin Fan.
"I'll check the news. I haven't seen the news for a few days."
He opened his wristband and tapped on the news.
Immediately, various news headlines appeared.
[To celebrate our great victory, major cities are adorned with lanterns and colorful streamers, singing praises, and the entire populace is immersed in revelry...]
Lin Yu felt no joy upon seeing this news. He looked at the next headline.
[Experts point out that our human race suffered heavy losses in this battle and should guard against invasions from the oceanic races to the east and the undead from the northern realm. Preparations should be made early.]
Lin Yu mused over this news and then looked at the next headline.
[Recently, the Tree Demon Race, Titan Snake, and other alien races have gone to our stronghold for negotiations. They expressed their willingness to give up some benefits and sign non-aggression treaties and most-favored-nation trade agreements with our race. After discussion, our race believes that we should uphold the spirit of world peace, develop peacefully with all races, face future crises together, and jointly build a community of shared future for all life!]
[Half an hour ago, our race signed multiple agreements with various races and agreed to their proposals. In the future, the various races will open trade areas and establish close trade relations with our race.]
[The Grand Elder stated that this is a good omen and a significant step taken by our human race!]
Lin Yu finished reading this news, unsure of what to think.
"Did my prediction go wrong? The alien races are not taking advantage of our weakened state but are instead seeking favor with us in a humble manner?"
"Is the Sword God's influence that great?"
Lin Yu was somewhat uncertain about the influence of the demigod. He was filled with doubt when Lin Fan's voice roused him.
Lin Fan saw Lin Yu wake up and said, "Brother, the pills are gone!"
"So soon?"
"The clones are working hard, haha!"
"Alright then, you prepare yourself too. We'll head back to the academy later."
"I'll go back to the Imperial Academy too?"
"Yes, go ahead!"
Just as Lin Fan was about to nod in agreement, Lin Yu suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't go back to the academy yet. Come with me to East Sea City first!"
"East Sea City? What's going on there?" Lin Fan asked, bewildered.
Lin Yu showed him the latest news he had just seen.
[Urgent Intel! East Sea City is in danger! The Sea Race has launched a massive invasion, and East Sea City is on the verge of collapse. Support is requested, support is requested!]
These few lines of text were astonishing.
"Prepare yourself. We're going to East Sea City! Since the war is over, it's hard to find so many sources of upgrade points. Besides, we're still a bit short on upgrade points. It's a good opportunity to deal with these sea beasts!"
Lin Fan felt a wry smile. He had wanted to go back to the academy to rest properly.
Instead, he had to fight monsters again. He was truly exhausted, but he had to obey the orders of his main body. He forced a smile and said,
"These damned sea beasts! Brother, there's no time to delay. Let's set off now!"
Lin Yu smiled, "It's good that you have this awareness! However, before we go, spend all your war merits!"
He had made a significant contribution in this battle, and now he had over a hundred million war merits, enough to buy him a few more treasures.
With that thought, Lin Yu stopped lingering and quickly walked towards the academy.
He passed through a bustling area and soon arrived at Supreme Academy.
At this moment, many people were entering and exiting. Lin Yu also headed to the War Merit Exchange.
This was a temporary setup, but it was largely similar to the one in the central base. He entered the shop with practiced ease.
[Beep, access granted.]
"Check my war merits!"
[Beep, found. Your current remaining war merits are: 132 million.]
*Phew!*
Lin Yu was quite excited and said, "Open the shop list!"
With a soft hum, the shop list appeared before his eyes.
He first looked for pill recipes and found that the number of pill recipes had increased considerably.
He browsed through the pill recipes. He skipped ordinary ones but directly purchased some rare ones.
Youthful Appearance Pill Recipe: Tier 5 Pill Recipe. Can be taken by those below Tier 5. Taking one pill will keep one's appearance unchanged for ten years! Price: 1 million war merits.
"Not expensive, I'll buy it."
Energy Dissipation Pill Recipe: Tier 7 Pill Recipe. Can be taken by those below Tier 7. After taking it, it will disperse the energy within the body, making it impossible to condense for a short period. The effect lasts for three days. Price: 1 million war merits.
"Hmm, an interesting pill. I'll buy it first."
Thunder Fire Pill Recipe: Tier 5 Pill Recipe. This pill contains the power of thunder and fire. It can be thrown out to explode and damage enemies, with a power equivalent to the full force of a Tier 5 awakened individual. Price: 1 million war merits.
"This is also a good pill, let's buy it!"
He immediately went into a shopping spree, acquiring pill recipes one after another.
Looking at over a dozen pill recipes, he felt a sense of fulfillment.
He would have a lot to do in the coming days.
Suddenly, a pill recipe caught his eye, making him instantly excited.
Vitality Creation Pill Recipe: Tier 9 Pill Recipe. Taking this pill can speed up the recovery of injuries, and long-term consumption can permanently increase the speed of injury recovery. Price: 10 million war merits.
"Another pill recipe that can permanently increase strength. I can't miss this, buy it!"
After acquiring another pill recipe, Lin Yu continued to search for others.
However, the subsequent pill recipes were all ordinary ones, which he disdained.
When he flipped to the last page, the final pill recipe attracted his attention.
Five Elements Control Pill Recipe: Tier 9 Pill Recipe. Taking this pill allows one to temporarily master the Five Elements Evasion techniques. Long-term consumption of this pill has a chance of awakening the Five Elements Evasion techniques. The effect lasts for 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the quality of the pill. Price: 50 million war merits.
"This is a very expensive pill recipe, but it's indeed precious. I'll buy it."
The Five Elements Evasion technique was a very rare skill, and he had not encountered it yet.
The Five Elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Mastering the Five Elements Evasion technique allows one to shuttle freely through these five substances at extreme speed, akin to teleportation.
This was not only a divine skill for escaping but also a divine skill for pursuing enemies.
This pill was of great use to him.
"Next, let's look at the spirit stones!"
