The only way to return back to the surface was to wait for Elder Lai Chang to come to him and take him out of here.
However, even before that, Ye Tian Yun had a very important thing to care about.
He had to get everything in the hall back to normal.
When Ye Tian Yun first entered this hall, he had found himself in a forest.
However, it turned out to be an illusion, and a dull room was revealed.
After that, he had practiced his sword moves on the wall and ended up creating cracks on the wall, almost breaking it.
After that, he attacked a single wall to get to the adjacent hall, where he found the spirit vein.
Luckily for him, everything on the last wall was auto repaired by the wall itself due to the array.
He only needed to worry about the marks left by his attacks on the nearby places, the adjacent walls, and the floor.
However, he wasn't much worried about this. The system had assured him that everything here could be returned to its original state, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
This was also the reason he didn't hold himself back and ended up ruining the whole hall.
Looking around the hall, Ye Tian Yun asked, 'System, what to do next?'
Pointing at the opposite wall, he continued, 'We need to repair that wall, 'Then, looking at the floor, he said, 'those marks,' and finally pursuing his lips, he added, 'And also set back the illusion array.'
[Host, all of this will cost 1252 Kill Points]
'Oh? that's cheap.' Ye Tian Yun smiles, looking at the hundred thousand kill points in his possession.
[Would you like to use the kill points to repair this hall?]
'Yeah, go ahead' Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.
He had enough kill points right now, so he wasn't much worried about spending a thousand kill points.
Anyway, he knew there wouldn't be any haggling with the system, the only thing he could do was spend his kill points, and he had enough of those.
Thus, Ye Tian Yun agreed to use the kill points to get the hall back to its previous state without wasting time.
[Consumed 1252 Kill points. Repairing of the hall is under progress.]
[Time left: 2 days, 1 hour, 59 Minutes]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head but suddenly, something dawned upon him.
'2 days!?' Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes in shock
'That's too much! I only have one day left. Can't you do it faster?'
[Host, you can always buy some time if you put more kill points in this.]
'Buy time?' Ye Tian Yun asked as the familiar bad feeling crept up in his heart once again.
[Decrease 1 hour: 100 Kill Points]
'What!? 100 kill points! And just 1 hour!?' Ye Tian Yun almost spurted blood when he saw the prompt.
'That's too much.... it will end up billing higher than the cost of repairing. Even though I have a lot, I still can't make myself spend this much.'
'100 kill points per hour, that's 4800 kill points to reduce the time... Damn this rip-off System.'
Shaking his head, Ye Tian Yun could only sigh at his bad luck.
'System, reduce the time by 1 day 2hrs. I can wait for the remaining day. There's no need to waste kill points for that.'
[2600 Kill Points Consumed.]
[26 hours reduced]
[Remaining time to repair the hall: 22 hours 57 minutes]
Ye Tian Yun shook his head at the prompt and took out his sword.
While the system repaired everything, Ye Tian Yun planned to take practice with his sword moves.
Taking a fighting stance, he slashed in the air.

Grand Meeting Hall, Gracious Sword Sect
Sect Leader Su was sitting on the main seat as he frowned while scratching his chin.
In front of him was none other than Elder Lai Chang giving him the report of some recent events in the sect.
"Sect Leader, Jiang Chen's health has improved a lot though there still doesn't seem to be a chance for him to participate in the grand spirit hunt."
"The Blazing Dragon Sect's envoy will be arriving soon to our sect, mainly for an alliance between our sect disciples during the Grand Spirit Hunt."
Sect Leader Su waved his hand to stop Elder Lai Chang and asked, "Why is that sect trying to form an alliance? Especially after what happened in the last two Grand Spirit Hunt."
Elder Lai Chang shook his head, "We can only find out once he arrives."
"When will they arrive here?"
Elder Lai Chang looked at the report in his hand and replied, "They are near the Capital City, so they should be here by next week if they are not in a hurry."
Sect Leader Su nodded his head, "Alright, we will see when they arrive; since you mentioned the capital, what's going on in that place?"
Elder Lai Chang pursed his lips and shook his head, "Sect Leader, there has been no news from that place, especially the Fang Clan. Our assets in that clan have either completely cut us off or have disappeared."
"Hmm, looks like Fang Yuan has started to make his moves."
"Yes, Sect Leader. There have been a lot of meetings between King Xin and Prime Minister Fang Yuan in the last few days. Many influential clan heads have visited the Royal Palace and the Fang Clan, and from the little signs we have noticed, it can easily be said that they are planning something to bid. However, if it's beneficial for our sect or not, it is yet to be found."
Sect Leader Su snorted, "Hmph! Beneficial for my Sect and that too due to Fang Yuan? No way in hell he would do something like that. Investigate more about this."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
"Hmm, and isn't the one month for Disciple Fang Chen over?"
