Chapter 137: 119: 74 Million Blue Star Coins (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

```

"To prevent the situation from getting worse."

"Enough talk, time is of the essence. We'll discuss it on the way, let's go first." Dean Xu interrupted the two's conversation.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dozens of Prime Warriors who were teachers and deans, with the lowest physical quality at level 26, quickly charged into a War Fortress entrance not far away.

Deep inside the War Fortress, there was a channel that could quickly leave the Star Realm.

...

The train sped forward at high speed.

The same compartment as on the journey here.

"Li Yuan, impressive."

Wang Chan, a senior from his third year whom he had met on the way there, gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Amazing, actually managed to get first place in the fourth base's rankings."

"Junior Li Yuan, how did your scores rise so quickly? Did you encounter a lot of Exotic Beasts?"

"Junior, what's your physical quality level now?"

Seniors from various institutes all gathered around Li Yuan.

For a moment, Li Yuan was the center of discussion in the compartment.

"Junior, can we spar with the Spear Technique later?"

"Li Yuan, you're too awesome, can I add you on V?" Even a senior sister boldly made the invitation.

Li Yuan found it a bit much to handle, but eventually, a few seniors from the Sixth Institute spoke up and gradually everyone in the compartment quieted down.

Li Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

He felt that this was even more troublesome than fighting a level-14 Star Realm Creature.

"This time, including the reward from the senior brother and the team reward from the institute,"

"I could get over 9 million." Li Yuan calculated in his mind: "That's about enough, time to start preparing the first phase of Uncle's physical rehabilitation treatment."

Uncle Li Changzhou had been rescued and appeared to have recovered.

But after suffering from Flame Erosive Bone Poison for a long time, and almost dying at the end, the recovery to health was only superficial, meaning he had been brought back from the brink of death.

The vitality in Li Changzhou's body had been mostly destroyed by the toxin.

Just his physical quality alone had fallen from level 11 before the injury to about a level 6 standard now.

In May, Li Yuan had discussed with the doctors.

If Li Changzhou continued to live an orderly life with normal health care, his life expectancy would hardly exceed 70 years.

It might seem not too short.

But one must know that, barring accidental deaths, the average life expectancy for humans in this era was well over a hundred years.

For this reason, Li Yuan, after the college entrance exams, contacted a rehabilitation hospital through Wan Qinghe to start preparing a 'rehabilitation plan' for Uncle.

"Three stages of rehabilitation treatment."

"The first stage will cost about 16 million, the second stage is estimated at around 18 million, and the third stage at about 40 million."

"A total of 74 million Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan had almost memorized the rehabilitation plan: "If all goes well with the complete treatment, although it won't make Uncle's body return to its peak, his life expectancy should increase to around 90 years old."

The three stages of treatment were incredibly expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary families.

It involved life sciences, very complex.

If he told Uncle and Aunt the truth about such a huge expense, Li Yuan figured they would not agree.

However, Li Yuan had made up his mind.

"The money the country rewarded me with is meant for me to enhance my strength,"

"And besides, cash rewards are always finite and in theory should not be used on other things." Li Yuan was clear on this: "But I will always have chances to make money and repay the country in the future."

"Uncle's health can't be delayed. The longer we wait, the less hope there is for recovery, and no amount of money spent later will make up for it." Li Yuan's thoughts were crystal clear.

"The first stage, 16 million Blue Star Coins, start the treatment as soon as possible."

"The entire treatment will last for about half a year."

"During this half year, I will endeavor to become a level 15 Martial Artist as soon as possible. Then I can venture into many Star Realms, risk life and death, and truly earn money on my own," Li Yuan thought to himself.

The Star Realms were full of danger but also contained countless treasures.

Some Star Realms were so vast that they were ten times larger than Xia Country, which has a territory of over a hundred million square kilometers.

All kinds of Heavenly Materials Treasures originated from these Star Realms.

Otherwise, how could those Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors be so wealthy?

...

Returning to school, Li Yuan was warmly welcomed by over a hundred freshmen from the Sixth Institute.

After a round of celebrations that lasted until after seven in the evening,

Li Yuan finally returned to his villa, washed up, and then calmed down to practice the Basic Cultivation Method for over an hour.

After completing everything, he entered the virtual network pod, connecting his consciousness.

Within his personal space,

"Master." The sprite girl circled around him.

"According to my earlier annotations, list all my assets in the bank and the Martial Hall." Li Yuan spoke softly.

"Yes, Master, please wait a moment." The girl smiled.

Swiftly.

Whoosh! A huge screen appeared in Li Yuan's field of vision, clearly marking his wealth.

Bank Balance: 36,550,000 Blue Star Coins

Martial Hall Points: 440,000

Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 9,570,000 Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

...

"My cash has exceeded 36 million," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile; this was all the cash he had.

The rewards from the recent combat assessment, the award from the eldest senior brother, the prize from the entrance competition, plus the rewards from the school's S-grade special training contract.

These amounted to Li Yuan's current fortune.

"Over the past six months, most of the Martial Hall Points I spent were for purchasing various cultivation resources," Li Yuan thought silently, "Now, at the school, I get two portions of 'High Origin Spirit Spring' for free every month, each worth 2 million Blue Star Coins, so there's no need to buy Origin Power Essence Pills anymore."

Every month, Li Yuan himself mainly purchased Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow and First Rank Blood Essence potions.

Each month's expenses are about 1.3 million points/Blue Star Coins.

"In October, the cash and points from the Martial Hall contract will be given to me," Li Yuan pondered, "In the following months, I'll have to spend cash to buy various cultivation resources."

Though tens of millions might seem a lot, it might not be enough to spend.

As Li Yuan's physical quality continued to improve, he would need more 'High Origin Spirit Spring,' which the school could not provide indefinitely.

More cultivation resources had to be bought with his own money.

"I'll prepare the first phase of my uncle's rehabilitation treatment first," Li Yuan was contemplating, "Before the end of this month, I will strive to reach the Bright Moon Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network."

"In October, during the battle of the freshers from the ten schools, I'll aim to take first place."

If both could be completed as such, each would yield 20 million Blue Star Coins, totaling 40 million Blue Star Coins.

That would solve Li Yuan's current difficulties.

...

After exiting the virtual network, Li Yuan connected with Wan Qinghe via V-call.

The video projection formed.

"Li Yuan," Wan Qinghe appeared in the projection, smiling at Li Yuan.

From the background, he was in the Martial Hall office.

"Uncle," Li Yuan revealed a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while.

"Uncle Wan, I need your help with something," Li Yuan got to the point: "The rehabilitation hospital's 'Professor Zhong,' whom I asked you to contact last time, has devised a three-phase rehabilitation plan for my uncle. I would like to start the first phase and hope you could oversee it for me."

"Rehabilitation plan? The one costing over 70 million Blue Star Coins?" Wan Qinghe was slightly surprised.

"That's the one."

"I would like to give you the money to communicate with Professor Zhong," Li Yuan said with a smile, "No need to reveal the truth to my uncle for now, just let him receive treatment. Do you have time?"

If it were anyone else, Li Yuan would not trust them with tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.

But Wan Qinghe?

Given his strength, status, and relationship, there was no need for him to embezzle the money.

"Haha, no problem," Wan Qinghe readily agreed.

Before long,

16 million Blue Star Coins were transferred by Li Yuan into Wan Qinghe's account.

The video call ended.

"Li Yuan is not somebody who can't distinguish what's important; he's not the idiot who would throw money away without regard for his own cultivation," Wan Qinghe's smile receded within the office, he thought silently: "Then, spending this sum of money probably won't affect his cultivation."

"It seems,"

"He's doing quite well at Kunlun Martial University," Wan Qinghe remarked with a slight smile.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Li Yuan did; on the contrary, he quite admired it.

To be so grateful to his uncle,

By extrapolation, his treatment of other seniors and benefactors would often not be too poor.

...

After transferring the money,

Li Yuan, far away at Kunlun Martial University, suppressed many thoughts and continued his regular cultivation of spear technique, cultivation methods, visualization method, and battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network...

The next day, on August 2nd,

Past five in the early morning, Li Yuan, who was practicing with the long spear in the underground martial arts room, suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate.

Signifying that a significant message had arrived

"Hmm?"

"What's the matter?" Li Yuan stopped with his long spear and clicked on the screen of his bracelet, and a screen unfolded, quickly scanning through it.

"It's from the school,"

"A notice of death?" Li Yuan looked at the grey notification document on the screen, his expression shifting slightly.

"...Qi He, Fan Jin... and eleven other school teachers died in a Star Realm on a rescue mission on the 1st of August, 2043 Seven Stars calendar..." Li Yuan read the names of the eleven teachers on the notification, his mind reeling in shock.

Especially one familiar name—Fan Jin!

The kind-faced elder who had given him guidance on multiple occasions, was he truly gone?
