章 229: Chapter 137 Departure (Part 2)

In a side hall, inside a private room.

Chen Yu sat upright on a chair, placing all nine soul beads on the table and sinking into deep thought.

After a moment, he picked up one of them, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and tentatively put it into his mouth. But he quickly spat it out again.

"No good."

"Can't eat it."

Soul beads, so valuable they were beyond measure.

They were precious because they could produce "comparable" effects even for higher-level ability users.

Therefore, from the perspective of cultivation, the further a Transcendent progressed, the more cost-effective it became to consume soul beads.

"Whoosh—"

He swept all the soul beads from the table into a cloth pouch and carefully secured it. Chen Yu took a long breath and began to ponder his next plan.

'That woman, Li Yao, has reached level 8 of the Defying Fate Skill with the help of her family.'

'After she consumes five soul beads, she should at least be able to reach level 10, right?'
