Thirty thousand? Too many. How can I build my bank?

Lu Chen exclaimed in his consciousness, he could not believe that the System would ask for such a high price recently. After all, even the precious Pill s that raised their strength wouldn't be able to get such a high price.

This is help, host!

Lu Chen:...

He was at a loss for words. The System's words had stabbed into his weak spot, causing him to fall into a daze.

Fine, I got it.

His voice was calm, but at that moment, Lu Chen wanted to cry. He wished that the family money that he had painstakingly saved up was gone just like that.

He had nowhere to argue, and the System wanted him to build a bank. Lu Chen thought about how he would return to his previous position, his heart was cold and he did not feel good.

However, the System would not care about his thoughts at this time. It would immediately carry out his orders.

[Ding, congratulations, points exchanged successfully]

[Ding, one-time item "Awakening Soul Pill" has been purchased. Please use it by yourself!]

Host: Lu Chen

Cultivation base: Middle stage of the Innate realm

Current Points: 2

Under this series of notifications, Lu Chen only felt that his vision was turning black, and he could clearly feel the gold coins in his storage bag disappearing in the blink of an eye, and his heart bleeding.

Wu wu wu … How pathetic it was before it was liberated! How tragic!

Amidst the frantic crying, Lu Chen was in a bad mood, his heart ached uncontrollably, but he clearly did not have time to pay attention to all of this.

Even communicating with the system wouldn't require any effort at all. At this moment, in the moment of life and death, Lu Chen threw out the Pill that had appeared in his hands.

He didn't even need to aim because the distance was too close.

"Bang ~ ~ ~"

With a dull thud, the Pill directly hit the forehead of the person in the ice and instantly melted away before disappearing. If not for the person in the ice whose body had stiffened for a moment, Lu Chen would have been able to escape into the sky like a rolling gourd.

Lu Chen almost thought that the Pill was useless. At this moment, the ice person stood stiffly in place, the ice sword in his hand started to tremble.

A large amount of spirit energy gathered from the surroundings towards the man in the ice. His aura started to surge and the man in the ice seemed to become even more powerful.

A huge vortex of spiritual energy surrounded the person in the ice. The person's eyes gradually lit up, and from its scarlet color, it slowly turned black.

White eyes began to appear on his pitch-black pupils, and a hint of intelligence began to appear within them. The eyes of this man in the ice shard were filled with vigor.

Seeing this, Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Did he come back to life?

This sudden turn of events was too fast for the guards to react. They were all stupefied as they watched the movements of the man in the ice.

Now, he thought, is this man alive? How is this possible?

Even in this fantasy world, it was impossible to revive a dead person, even though many people had methods to preserve their soul.

However, the success rate in this kind of thing was too low. It was not that easy. Normally, one would have to pay a huge price, even a terrifying and bloody price, in order to achieve such a goal.

As such, when the bodyguard saw the man in the ice slowly awaken, his entire body felt weak. He was thoroughly shocked, and could not believe his eyes.

However, he still couldn't believe it. He was woken up by the man in the ice and started to believe it.

Ah!

A long, sharp, ear-splitting howl echoed nonstop in this small space. It was clearly a voice, but countless echoes came out.

Accompanied by the sound waves, a terrifying pressure appeared out of nowhere.

The space around them seemed to be accumulating and warping. Following this, Lu Chen and the guards made unpleasant sounds as their bones chaotically grinded against each other.

It was creepy to hear, so the scene of his bones being crushed into powder automatically appeared in his mind. Just thinking about it made him horrified.

Heavens, this was too terrifying! Lu Chen could not help but be dumbstruck. He looked at the scene in front of him, and spoke with great difficulty.

He was even more shocked … [I clearly wanted to wake this lady from her stupor, but I didn't think about anything else, and I ended up like this. What happened to the System? Shouldn't it directly turn into a state of consciousness? What is this? Buffer?

Lu Chen, whose mind and body had been tormented, could it be that he was tricked by the System?

If the System scams me!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen clenched his teeth and pursed his lips into a cold smile. A cold, resolute light flashed deep within his eyes.

At this moment, the guard's heart was filled with shock at the immense power of space. What was going on? Other than the Sky Breaking Seal, was there any other terrifying cultivation technique that focused on cultivating the power of space?

"Buzz ~ ~ ~"

Right at this moment, energy rumbled and spiritual energy gathered, forming a massive whirlpool that completely poured into that ice person's …

In his mind.

Lu Chen could see clearly that the moment the spirit qi entered the guard's body, the point of contact with his body happened to be when Lu Chen threw the Pill s towards the guard.

Even if he said that, Lu Chen did not believe him. He had a conjecture in his mind, could it be that the Pill needed so much spiritual energy as support?

Actually, Lu Chen's idea was not wrong, but it was not everything. The person in the ice had been frozen for an unknown amount of time, and there was no longer any spirit energy in his body.

The layer of ice on the man in the ice was not as fragile as it looked. It isolated everything, including spiritual energy, air, and anything else that could allow a cultivator to survive.

It was just like an ordinary person entering a vacuum. It was a terrifying environment.

After all these years, the consciousness of the person in the ice was gradually dissipating. If not for the arrival of Lu Chen and the others, this person would probably be dead after a while.

At that time, if someone touched him again, there would only be one result. The moment the person in the ice was touched, they would turn into ice and fall to the ground.

He was thoroughly turned into dust, but the person in the ice was lucky. In the last moment of his life, the guard and Lu Chen had come, and they were even woken up by them.

However, at this time, the consciousness or spirit fire of the person in the ice had already dimmed down, and the spirit energy in his body had dried up. Even if he could fight, he would have overdrawn his body.

But now, because of Lu Chen's Pill, this person in the ice obtained hope of life, and a large amount of spirit energy poured into his body, replenishing his dried up body. Not only did the Pill dissipate, he also replenished his soul energy.

This caused the souls of the people in the ice to burn even more vigorously, and even cleared their minds.
