Chapter 375: The Purple Grand Wheel

A soft purple radiance fell upon Yang Ling's face.

As the purple light faded, a pill appeared within the treasure chest.

This pill was crimson all over, radiating a dense aura of Vital Qi.

"Vital Qi Age Defying?"

Yang Ling was overjoyed. This purple treasure chest had actually yielded such a prized item!?

"One Vital Qi Age Defying can increase Vital Qi by 3,000 points. My current Vital Qi is 13,800 points, already far surpassing the standard for an ordinary Upper Sixth-Rank."

"If I take this one, can I reach the cap?"

Yang Ling's feelings were somewhat conflicted. On one hand, he hoped to reach his Vital Qi cap, which would allow him to begin breaking through to Lower Fifth-Rank.

On the other hand, he hoped his Vital Qi cap could be higher, so that when he broke through to Lower Fifth-Rank, he would gain even more!

"Just take it and find out."

Yang Ling picked up the Vital Qi Age Defying and consumed it directly.

The terrifying medicinal power erupted instantly, transforming into waves of Vital Qi that surged through his limbs and bones.

Yang Ling immediately activated the Vajra Bright King Technique to refine this Vital Qi.

"Counting this one, I've already consumed three Vital Qi Age Defying pills."

"With this kind of treasure, I doubt even the Zhao State can refine more than a few in a year."

"Even Xu Wenjun, an Upper Fifth-Rank master and son of a Third-Rank Grandmaster Supreme, was trying to get the Vital Qi Age Defying from my hands..."

Yang Ling's mood was exceedingly pleasant.

The rewards from purple treasure chests were extremely reliable, to say the least.

The value of this Vital Qi Age Defying, in a sense, truly wasn't comparable to a Top-Tier Internal Technique.

But these things needed to be evaluated based on suitability.

If he were handed another Top-Tier Internal Technique right now, he'd probably be quite troubled by it.

Before long, the Vital Qi refinement was complete.

Yang Ling glanced at his Status Panel:

Vital Qi: 16,800

"Sixteen thousand eight hundred points of Vital Qi!"

"That's enough for one thousand six hundred and eighty Fire Blades!"

"Five thousand six hundred Ice Blades!"

"Fifty-six Two-Times Critical Hits!"

"All other skills have seen corresponding boosts as well!"

"It seems Vital Qi still hasn't reached the cap... looks like the cap really is 20,000 points."

A flicker of delight passed through Yang Ling's eyes.

He wasn't far from 20,000 Vital Qi now.

With this foundation exceeding the Upper Sixth-Rank standard by double, breaking through to Lower Fifth-Rank would surely bring numerous benefits!

"At the very least, the path to Fourth-Rank is now open. Forging the Martial Furnace within my body later won't be a problem at all."

A few breaths later, Yang Ling's gaze fell upon the second purple treasure chest.

This time, when the chest opened, the purple light spilling out formed a large wheel right before his eyes.

"This reward... I've never seen this before?"

Yang Ling was somewhat surprised.

[Congratulations, you have received one Purple Grand Wheel draw opportunity]

[Draw now?]

[Yes/No]

A prompt appeared on the game interface.

Yang Ling didn't rush to draw. He was studying the contents displayed on the Purple Grand Wheel.

The options on it didn't seem to be many. They were respectively: Attributes, Internal Technique, Martial Arts Technique, Skill, Equipment, Pill, Spirit Pet, Dungeon, Level.

"Nine categories in total, but these are just classifications with no more detailed information. Could it be that even after drawing, I still have to rely on luck?"

Yang Ling pondered thoughtfully, then his gaze suddenly shifted. He noticed a line of small text in the bottom right corner of the Grand Wheel:

After drawing a category, a random reward is granted, unrelated to the treasure chest's tier.

"The reward is unrelated to the chest's tier?"

Yang Ling was taken aback. Didn't that mean if he drew the Attributes category, he might only get a reward of 1 attribute point?

"But it could also be 100 points?"

"In other words, this purple treasure chest is essentially providing a kind of 'possibility'..."

Yang Ling muttered to himself: "If I draw something above my current level, it's a massive win.

If I draw something below my current level, it's a massive loss."

Yang Ling's expression turned slightly serious.

This was gambling.

He didn't really like this feeling. Regular rewards were far more stable.

"Giving me another Vital Qi Age Defying would have been fine too, but no, it had to be a Grand Wheel..."

Yang Ling began to seriously scrutinize the options above.

"Internal Technique, Martial Arts Technique, Spirit Pet, Level... these four categories currently don't offer me much benefit."

"The remaining five are decent. As long as the final reward's tier is above or equal to my current level, it counts as a win."

A hint of anticipation appeared in Yang Ling's eyes as he chose to draw.

The Purple Grand Wheel began spinning wildly.

The pointer on it remained perfectly still.

After one minute, the speed of the Purple Grand Wheel began to decrease.

The pointer swept past each category.

Yang Ling kept his eyes fixed on it the entire time. Eventually, the Purple Grand Wheel slowly came to a stop.

The pointer landed on the Attributes category.

"Attribute points? It should be more than that. Vital Qi counts as part of the Attributes category, and so does HP."

Yang Ling wasn't anxious. He continued waiting.

[Grand Wheel reward locked: Attributes category]

[Beginning random draw of Free Attribute Points]

"Free Attribute Points?"

"That's acceptable."

Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

What he wanted most was, of course, Vital Qi.

What he wanted least was HP.

Now the "Divine Realm" was giving him Free Attribute Points, which was a reasonable compromise.

[Random reward draw complete]

[Congratulations, you have received 30 Free Attribute Points]

"30 Free Attribute Points!?"

After a brief moment of shock, Yang Ling was plunged into ecstasy.

This was no small reward!

It absolutely matched his current level.

It even exceeded his current level.

"That's equivalent to leveling up 30 times!"

Yang Ling immediately opened his Status Panel. The Free Attribute Points column had already changed:

Free Attribute Points: 53

"Already at 53 points... As long as I break through to Lower Fifth-Rank, I can bring one attribute up to 199 points at any time!"

Yang Ling's gaze burned with intensity. He wished he could allocate those attribute points right this instant.

Previously, the gap between him and the local natives lay precisely in base attribute points.

Now, his base attributes had completely caught up to the pace of those natives.

Combined with boosts from equipment, Martial Arts Techniques, skills, Internal Techniques, and so on,

his combat power was bound to surpass those of the same rank.

Back when he had registered at Ranked Level, his actual cultivation hadn't even met the standard. He'd relied entirely on Internal Techniques and Martial Arts Techniques to carry him through.

"Now I just need to wait for Vital Qi. Once Vital Qi is in place, I can directly trigger the death tribulation and undergo gene mutation!"

With that thought, Yang Ling pulled up the Game Panel once more and located the dungeon column.

He was already Level 90 and had enjoyed the rewards of two purple treasure chests.

Next, it was time to make a trip through the Devour Heaven Palace.

This journey to the capital might be fraught with danger, and the stronger his strength, the stronger his ability to withstand risks.

"Even if I don't uncover any side quests this time, the month of time will allow me to refine another 10 Foundation Consolidation Pills and raise my Vajra Bright King Technique a bit."

"Also... let's see if I can liquidate some of the items in the Green Dragon Ring..."

"Kong Xinghu's Star-Observation Kylin Vest and the Xuan Phoenix Sword can't be sold within the Zhao State..."

"Use them to trade for pills! Trade for pills that increase Vital Qi, or rare exotic herbs and flowers!"

"At the very worst, I'll trade for a batch of Foundation Consolidation Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills to keep in reserve!"

"I wonder if I can get my hands on another Devour Heaven Great Rejuvenation Pill. That's also a good item."
