Chapter 1771 - 500: Tribulation Cultivator Returns! True Realm Expansion Triggers Upheaval!

Eternal Light Commerce, Shopkeeper Zhou Yang in the distinguished guest room, received Lu Changsheng with a smiling face.

"Realm Master Lu, have you gained anything from your hundred-year retreat?"

Zhou Yang asked.

"I have gained something."

"But I have also wasted a hundred years; this hundred years... I've accrued a debt of ten thousand Source Crystals to the Commerce again."

Lu Changsheng shook his head with a bitter smile.

He is now burdened with debt, which is not easy even for a Realm Master.

"A mere ten thousand Source Crystals. However, the debt might actually be more than ten thousand, due to breach penalties. Additionally, many tasks required Realm Master Lu's attention, but since you were in seclusion for cultivation, we did not disturb you. Now, it seems you owe twelve thousand Source Crystals."

Lu Changsheng knew the breach penalty is two thousand Source Crystals.

Actually, this is quite good.

Calculated, it is only twenty percent.

Eternal Light is indeed generous and sincere to Realm Masters.

Of course, the fundamental reason is because Realm Masters are rare and valuable.

Even the Eternal Light Commerce does not wish to anger a Realm Master.

"Are there any tasks now?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Indeed, there are tasks, and many of them. Realm Master Lu can simply check the Identity Token for specific details."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Indeed, he saw many tasks.

There are Flowing Light Plane, Chaos Plane, Black Cloud Plane, and so on.

All are planes near the Flowing Light Plane.

Plenty of opportunities to earn money.

But not many tasks with substantial one-time rewards.

Accumulating from each task, the total amount is considerable.

"Alright, if there are tasks with higher rewards, Shopkeeper Zhou can inform Brother Lu in advance."

Lu Changsheng said.

"Alright."

Zhou Yang nodded.

Maintaining a good relationship with Lu Changsheng is certainly beneficial.

After all, giving it to someone is the same as giving it, right?

Giving Lu Changsheng some face, this is quite normal.

Thus, Lu Changsheng started accepting tasks.

Almost all were twenty Source Crystals, thirty Source Crystals.

Very few tasks offered fifty Source Crystals or more.

One, two, three, four, five...

Time passed quickly.

During this period, Lu Changsheng began frantically doing tasks.

Almost without a break.

Though each trip yielded only twenty or thirty Source Crystals.

But the sheer number of tasks made up for it.

Lu Changsheng continuously ran through about a dozen trips.

Spending very little time.

As each trip took no more than a few days.

A dozen days equaled slightly over a month.

Quickly, Lu Changsheng accumulated roughly four hundred Source Crystals.

Adding the previously remaining fifteen Source Crystals, Lu Changsheng now had four hundred fifty Source Crystals.

However, it wasn't enough, far from the twelve thousand Source Crystals needed.

But after accepting a dozen tasks over a month.

Lu Changsheng had completed all the tasks from surrounding planes.

"No more?"

Lu Changsheng was quite dissatisfied.

Despite obtaining four hundred Source Crystals during this period, compared to Lin Qingluan who took decades to earn hundreds of Source Crystals, the efficiency was incomparable.

This is the power of a Realm Master.

The speed of earning Source Crystals is truly fast.

But Lu Changsheng is burdened with "huge debts."

With such meager rewards, he wouldn't be satisfied.

"No, the Flowing Light Plane still has too few tasks, even if I want to keep doing tasks, where are so many tasks?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He had been relatively idle these days, so he went to Eternal Light Commerce once more to meet Shopkeeper Zhou Yang.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, recently there are no tasks in the Eternal Light Commerce of nearby planes. If this continues, Brother Lu does not know how long it will take to pay off the debt."

"Moreover, I still need Source Crystals for cultivation. Does Shopkeeper Zhou have any suggestions?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

During this time, he frequently interacted with Zhou Yang, thus becoming quite familiar.

Zhou Yang also knew Lu Changsheng's background.

He knew Lu Changsheng is very young.

It was even difficult to imagine such a young Realm Master.

Hence, his future is certainly promising.

At least there is hope for him to become a Second Realm Master.

Once promoted to Second Realm Master, he would soar to great heights.

In the entire Great Universe, he would be considered a major figure.

Although the Great Universe is vast, Transcenders are as numerous as cattle.

Few manage to become Second Realm Cultivators.

Not to mention Second Realm Masters, they are rarer still.

"Friend Lu, why not go to the headquarters?"

"Actually, few Realm Masters stay in the remote Commerce outposts, most of them go to the headquarters."

"Eternal Light Commerce Headquarters has an immeasurable number of daily transport tasks, the transporting Realm Masters are perpetually in shortage. As long as you're willing to go, the headquarters will surely welcome you."

"Moreover, the headquarters is very safe, considered a Cultivation Holy Land. There are even many Realm Masters like Friend Lu."

Zhou Yang suggested to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng's heart moved.

Headquarters?

This is indeed a solution.

Actually, the reason Lu Changsheng temporarily chose to "settle" in the Flowing Light Plane is because it's close to the Chaos Plane.

Thus, if anything happens on the Chaos Plane, Lu Changsheng can respond.

However, in truth, distance is no issue for a Realm Master.

Even if Lu Changsheng is at the Eternal Light Commerce Headquarters, he can return to the Chaos Plane at the fastest speed should anything happen, it won't take long.

Perhaps a few days.

At most a month.

Lu Changsheng deeply understands the speed of a Realm Master traveling.

"How long would it take from Eternal Light Commerce Headquarters to Flowing Light Plane, Chaos Plane?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

Zhou Yang certainly knew Lu Changsheng was referring to the traveling time as a Realm Master.

"The Commerce Headquarters is on the Eternal Light Plane, it's quite far from the Chaos Plane, Flowing Light Plane. At Realm Master Lu's traveling speed, it would probably take about half a month."
