Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Not far away, Han Li and Han Xue, who had already resigned themselves to death, were stunned for a brief moment before joy surged across their faces. No one wished to die, and they were no exception.

“Many thanks to our benefactor for saving us. Han Li and Han Xue are deeply grateful.”

The two clasped their fists respectfully, their voices filled with sincerity.

Li Yun’s figure flickered as he stepped closer and asked calmly, “Which sect do you belong to?”

Han Xue replied, “We are disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect.”

“Burning Heaven Sect?” Li Yun nodded slightly. It was one of the four great sects of the Southern Martial Domain, standing alongside Martial Ascension Gate, Boundless Martial Palace, and Ice God Valley.

“You have been heavily poisoned. You should detoxify first,” Li Yun said.

“That is true.”

The two did not harbor any suspicion toward Li Yun. If he had intended to harm them, they would have had no means to resist. Without hesitation, they sat down cross-legged, swallowed detoxifying medicinal pills, and began circulating their qi to expel the poison.

Meanwhile, Li Yun turned his attention to Mo Tian’s corpse.

With a simple wave of his hand, a silver long blade flew into his palm. It was a mid-grade Profound Rank treasured weapon, worth around two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones. However, the mark of the Golden Sun Sect was engraved upon the sword, which meant it could not be sold openly.

Soon after, Li Yun discovered a storage pouch on Mo Tian’s body.

Inside were various items, including three gold cards, several thousand gold coins, numerous medicinal pills, and a collection of miscellaneous objects.

The three gold cards alone could be exchanged for a total of five hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.

“Gold coins still hold value in Red Cloud County?” Li Yun thought to himself.

The medicinal pills were mostly from the Golden Sun Sect, and some differed from those produced by the Martial Ascension Gate. However, for the ones that overlapped, the quality of the Martial Ascension Gate’s pills was clearly superior.

In addition to that, the pouch contained several life-saving items, including concealed weapons, poisonous pills, firearms, and various other tools meant for survival and combat.

“Worth it.”

Li Yun quickly estimated Mo Tian’s wealth and found that it exceeded two million gold coins. Although this amount was insignificant compared to his own resources, it was still considerable and not something to ignore.

After storing the pouch, Li Yun turned his attention back to Han Li and Han Xue.

Their condition was clearly poor. The poison had penetrated too deeply, and the detoxifying medicinal pills were only slowing its spread rather than removing it entirely.

“Do you need my help?” Li Yun asked calmly. With his Chaos Qi, even stubborn poisonous qi could be devoured without difficulty.

Han Li forced his eyes open and spoke with effort, “I can hold on for a while. Benefactor, please help my younger sister detoxify first.”

“Very well.”

Li Yun stepped behind Han Xue and placed his right palm gently against her back. A stream of Chaos Qi flowed into her body.

Under its influence, the effects of the detoxifying medicinal pill were greatly enhanced. The medicinal power surged through her meridians, spreading into her limbs and bones, even reaching the deepest parts of her body such as her bone marrow, where the poison had settled.

After a short time, Han Xue slowly opened her eyes.

A faint blush appeared on her face as she said softly, “Thank you for your help, Benefactor.”

She felt as if nothing within her body could remain hidden under his touch, which left her slightly embarrassed.

Li Yun smiled faintly, withdrew his hand, and moved behind Han Li to assist him in the same way.

After a longer period, Han Li also regained consciousness. A trace of lingering fear flashed across his eyes as he realized how close they had been to death.

The poison had remained in their bodies for too long and had already seeped deep into their bones. Relying on their own strength, it would have been extremely difficult to remove it. Moreover, the poison had weakened their limbs and dulled their True Qi, leaving them nearly powerless.

Once he finished helping them, Li Yun shifted his focus back to the system map.

To his surprise, the first marked location had disappeared completely. Only the second, more distant mark remained.

“How did it disappear?” Li Yun frowned slightly, unable to understand the situation. If the mark was meant to guide him toward the Sword Master’s legacy, then why had it vanished without any sign?

Unless he had already encountered something related to it.

With that thought, Li Yun slowly turned his gaze toward Han Li and Han Xue. ’Could it be them?’

“May I know your name, benefactor?” Han Li also turned to look at him and asked respectfully.

“Li Yun, a True Disciple of the Martial Ascension Gate,” Li Yun replied without hiding anything.

“So it is Junior Brother Li from the Martial Ascension Gate. Han Li greets you.” Upon hearing this, Han Li and Han Xue felt an even stronger sense of goodwill toward him.

Among the four great sects of the Southern Martial Domain, the relationship between the Martial Ascension Gate and the Burning Heaven Sect had always been neutral. There was no deep hostility between their disciples, so interactions between the two sides were generally calm and amicable, unlike the tense rivalry that existed with the Boundless Martial Palace.

“There is no need to thank me,” Li Yun said with a faint smile. “You were only at a disadvantage because of the poison. If you had been in full condition, dealing with Mo Tian would not have been difficult for you.”

Han Li laughed softly and did not deny it. Instead, he asked, “Junior Brother Li, do you have any particular destination in mind?”

Li Yun shook his head. “Not really. I came to Red Cloud County to gain some experience.”

Han Li hesitated for a moment. A trace of resolve then appeared in his eyes as he spoke in a lower tone, “Junior Brother Li, I possess a partial map that leads to the tomb of a Heavenly Core Realm martial artist. Would you be interested in exploring it together?”

Originally, he had no intention of revealing such a secret. However, Li Yun had saved both his life and his sister’s. It would weigh heavily on his conscience if he did not repay that favor. Moreover, the tomb was bound to be filled with danger, and having another capable ally would greatly increase their chances of survival.

“A tomb of a Heavenly Core Realm martial artist?” Li Yun’s eyes flickered with surprise.

A thought immediately surfaced in his mind. ’Could this tomb be connected to the Sword Master’s inheritance?’

In the current era, where true top-tier experts had long disappeared, a Heavenly Core Realm martial artist was regarded almost like a god within the Southern Martial Domain. There were no such experts left in this region, and even those at the Mortal Core or Earthly Core levels were exceedingly rare.

Realizing this, Li Yun instantly understood the immense value of such a tomb.
