Time rewound to half an hour ago, at the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, inside the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Treasure Vault.
"Nearly 20 foundation level artifacts or skill scrolls, each with different functions, and countless other low-level artifacts, all of which are good items with special effects. Now, let me introduce you to the treasures here in detail?" Bai said.
"That would be great!" Wen Yu responded with a smile.
"This one."
Bai casually pulled out a scroll-like artifact from a nearby wooden shelf, glanced at it briefly, and then tossed it to Wen Yu.
"SSS level skill upgrade scroll; you should need this."
Wen Yu received the scroll, took a quick look, and placed it into his Spatial Ring.
"Very nice, but I don't need it anymore."
"Oh? Have you reached your limit...?"
Bai stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over Wen Yu with a strange expression. After a moment, he gently shook his head.
"I really underestimated you; all thirty-six skills are SSS level. Tsk tsk, you’ve done quite well these past few years."
"Not too bad," Wen Yu replied nonchalantly. With the resources of the entire world supporting one person, if he couldn't produce dozens of SSS level skill upgrade scrolls, that would indeed be laughable.
"Then you probably don’t need these anymore."
Bai casually took out a few scrolls and handed them to Wen Yu, all below SSS level, and then he ignored Wen Yu's pondering gaze and walked directly to another wooden shelf.
"Is the majority of this treasure vault filled with skill upgrade scrolls?"
After scanning several shelves, Wen Yu looked at the pile of skill upgrade scrolls in his hands and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, basically. These items are considered rare strategic resources. You should understand that as the level of practitioners increases and the skill systems become more complete, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a suitable skill scroll for oneself. Compared to changing skills or even changing skill systems, skill upgrade scrolls effectively solve the problem of insufficient skill levels."
These were facts that Wen Yu had experienced. In reality, now that sequence-level experts rarely changed skills, for a well-established skill system, a suitable SS level skill may not necessarily be weaker than an SSS level skill.
"These items are strategic reserve materials scavenged by the immortal emperor. At the end of the Immortal Heroic World, a skill upgrade scroll is equivalent to an upgrade scroll for a skill one level higher. So while most things here may not be useful to you, their overall value is still quite considerable."
Wen Yu estimated briefly and nodded. The overall value of the skill upgrade scrolls he obtained was no longer just good; it was close to the trading volume of the Star of Africa for three months. Once Wen Yu sold these items, the soul crystals and demonic creature corpses he could exchange for would be enough to significantly boost his strength.
Bai kept walking and scanning until they reached the last three shelves, and most of the skill upgrade scrolls had already been divided between Wen Yu and Bai.
"You take eight, I take two; let's see if the distribution in the early stages has any issues?"
"None."
Wen Yu quickly calculated and agreed with Bai's distribution plan.
"That's good. Here, these are all yours," Bai said, tossing all his share of skill upgrade scrolls to Wen Yu. Facing Wen Yu's puzzled expression, Bai smiled as he picked up a wooden box from a nearby shelf.
"These skill upgrade scrolls are exchanged for this item and are not included in our distribution plan. Skill upgrade scrolls are of no use to me; you have a sales channel. I’ll use these to exchange for a foundation level artifact, so you won’t lose out."
"Not losing out is one thing..."
Wen Yu smiled as he accepted the Spatial Ring containing the skill upgrade scrolls handed over by Bai. Then he pointed to the wooden box Bai was holding.
"But I want to see what you took first."
The total value of what Bai offered Wen Yu was very high, even far exceeding any foundation level artifact—thousands of skill upgrade scrolls at various levels would bring tons of profits when sold. Wen Yu, who operated the Star of Africa, quickly estimated that the total value of these items was at least equivalent to ten foundation level skill scrolls.
