BTTH : Treasure Exchange System

Xiao Se thought about it carefully and realised that there were two things he needed most: Qi Gathering Powder and a technique. The former could help him advance from the ninth level of fighting spirit to the tenth level, condense a fighting spirit vortex, and become a fighter.

The latter would provide him with the necessary skills to become a fighter.

As for the Xiao family's so-called yellow-level martial arts, Xiao Se simply looked down on them.

Of course, even if Xiao Se wanted them, no one would give them to him. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Se only had the fifth level of fighting spirit.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Se took out two jade bottles from his bosom and placed them on the stone platform. These were the ones he found in the stone chamber. There were two in total, each originally containing an unknown pill that had lost its medicinal effect.

After being left behind by someone else, he kept them because the elixirs had lost their efficacy.

Xiao Se, with the idea of recycling waste, cleaned the bottles and filled them with salt and seasoning. When he was hungry during his practice, he could go directly to the river under the waterfall to catch fish and use them for barbecue and seasoning.

"System, exchange the jade bottle in my hand," Xiao Se shouted in his mind, lightly raising the jade bottle containing condiments.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Mysterious Small Bottle from Han Li's storage belt from A Record of a Mortal's Journey To Immortality .]

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

Looking at the light green round bottle with a long neck in his hand, adorned with several lifelike dark green leaf-shaped patterns, Xiao Se couldn't help but swear a few times.

The Heaven Controlling Vial is the most precious treasure of Old Demon Han. With the help of this treasure, he was able to make a comeback from being an ordinary person with ordinary talents..

After removing the cork, a bean-sized emerald green liquid came into view through the bottle mouth.

Seeing this, Xiao Se's breathing began to quicken.

"The neck of the bottle is slender, the surface is light green, the bottle is adorned with dark green leaf-shaped patterns, and the inside is filled with emerald green liquid. It is indeed the Heaven Controlling Vial. 

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Se calmed his excitement. "The body of the Heaven Controlling Vial has the ability to absorb moonlight, condense green liquid, and ripen the elixir. Let's give it a try."

Having made up his mind, Xiao Se swept his eyes across the stone chamber and finally saw a young sprout of an unknown plant in an inconspicuous position on the edge of the square stone platform in the center of the chamber.

He gently dropped the emerald green liquid onto the tender sprouts. At first glance, there was no change in the tender sprouts.

Xiao Se was not disheartened, as inducing growth would take time.

Xiao Se put the Palm of Heaven Bottle into the storage belt around his waist and picked up another jade bottle filled with salt.

"Whether I can exchange for the Qi Gathering Powder depends on this attempt. If I fail, in the last two attempts, I can only choose to find a scroll and exchange it for a technique. Otherwise, even if I exchange for the Qi Gathering Powder and break through to the Dou Zhe level, it will be in vain without the technique."

Xiao Se vaguely remembered that in the original novel of Battle Through The Heavens, it was mentioned that Qi Gathering Powder was a fourth-grade elixir, emerald green all over and shaped like a longan.

To increase his chances of success, Xiao Se poured out the salt, found a green weed in the stone chamber, crushed it, and squeezed out the green juice to add moisture to the salt and dye it.

After a while, a green salt ball the size of a longan was made.

Throwing the salt ball into the jade bottle and plugging it, Xiao Se shouted in his mind, "System, start exchanging!"

At the same time, Xiao Se lowered his head, closed his eyes, held the jade bottle with both hands, clasped his hands together, and muttered, "Amitabha, God bless me! You must help me exchange for the Qi Gathering Powder."

Meanwhile, in a far way world.

Han Li, had just finished his daily day where he successfully killed all his fellow practitioners and returned home.

He found an empty corner and set up a defensive formation to hide his aura. Old Demon Han planted the spiritual medicine he had just obtained from the dungeon and prepared to use the his Heaven Controlling Vial to accelerate its aging to a thousand years.

A faint light flashed on his body, and a jade bottle flew out from his storage belt.

Holding it in his hand, Han Li was slightly stunned. The feeling was off.

After uncorking the bottle, Han Li couldn't help but yawn and curse, "Who the hell replaced my treasure jar with a condiment jar?"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for exchanging for a bottle of elixir in Gu He's ring.]

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Xiao Se's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pull out the cork. A rich fragrance of elixir wafted out and quickly filled the entire stone chamber.

"It is emerald green, the size of a longan, and has a strong elixir fragrance. This is the Qi Gathering Powder. There is no mistake. It is indeed the Qi Gathering Powder. It matches exactly with the description in the original novel and the ancient books recorded by the Xiao family."

Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Se closed the cork again and put it into his storage belt.

Now that he has the Qi Gathering Powder, he just needs to exchange it for a set of skills.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Se hurriedly left the cave while it was still early and ran toward the Xiao family residence.

After getting the Qi Gathering Powder, Xiao Se did not choose to break through to the Fighter level directly. Instead, he quickly returned to his residence. He still had two more chances to exchange and needed to use them quickly; otherwise, they would be wasted after tonight.

There is no doubt that the item Xiao Se needs to exchange for the fourth time must be a technique. Otherwise, even if he breaks through to the Fighter level, without a technique, his cultivation speed will slow down.

After returning to his simple home and rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Xiao Se finally found a tattered scroll.

"System, start exchanging."

[Ding, exchange failed!!!]

"Oh my god, this is the only scroll I have. Do I have to run out and buy one now?"

Just as Xiao Se was at a loss, there was a knock on the door.

"The door is not locked; come in!" Xiao Se said lightly.

The door was pushed open, and a charming girl in a red dress walked in. The plump and exquisite body wrapped in the red dress was looming, which was extremely seductive.

"You're so slow, you little pervert," the girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

There was no need to guess; Xiao Se could also tell who the other party was.

Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was the only acquaintance who could be considered a friend in the Xiao family. Apart from her, no one else would come to look for him, the former abandoned child of the family.

As for the housekeeper who had raised Xiao Se since childhood, he passed away half a year ago at over 70 years old.

"I've already told you, my name is Xiao Se, not little pervert," Xiao Se said calmly.

"Hmph, you don't even call me cousin, so what else can you be if not a little pervert? It's obvious that you are just coveting my body." As she spoke, Xiao Yu puffed out her proud breasts.

"The blood relationship between us is not ten generations, but eight generations. In terms of seniority, you should call me uncle, not cousin. Also, I have no interest in little brats," Xiao Se said with a slight smile. This little girl is really asking for trouble.
