In order to live immortal, I changed a martial artist world to a xianxia world

Chapter 44: Bai Chen’s Grand Scheme@@novelbin@@

Bai Residence

“Master,” Li Fu began respectfully, standing before Bai Chen.

“In recent times, all the servants of the household have been diligently training in martial arts. Even the weakest among them has reached the mid-stage of the Houtian realm.”

He hesitated for a moment.

“However, with everyone practising martial arts, the household’s expenses have skyrocketed to several times what they used to be. At this rate, the Bai family’s savings won’t last long.”

Li Fu’s tone carried a note of unease. Despite his position as house steward, he treated Bai Chen as a family member rather than merely his employer. While he supported Bai Chen’s decision to teach the household servants martial arts, the financial strain was undeniable.

“I understand,” Bai Chen replied, frowning slightly. “How much silver do we have left? How long can we sustain these expenses?”

He had initiated martial training among his servants to gather Creation Energy, but the returns from their training had long since lost their appeal.

Still, Bai Chen had no intention of reversing his decision.

“Currently, the household holds about 3,000 taels of silver,” Li Fu reported without hesitation. “At the current rate of spending, this will last us no more than a year.”

“Understood. You may leave this matter to me, Fu Bo (福伯, Uncle Fu).”

Li Fu bowed deeply and left, his expression still tinged with concern.

As the door closed, Bai Chen chuckled softly to himself.

“Who would’ve thought I’d run into financial difficulties?” he mused.

Born into wealth, Bai Chen had lived a life of luxury. His parents had left him a vast estate, but years of travel and carelessness with finances had eroded his reserves.

Now, with dozens of servants training in martial arts—a notoriously expensive pursuit—the costs had spiralled.

System, how much Fate Creation Energy do I currently possess? Bai Chen asked inwardly.

“Host currently possesses 450,000 points of Fate Creation Energy,” the system promptly replied.

A smile spread across Bai Chen’s face.

His energy reserves had rebounded remarkably, thanks to the widespread ripples caused by Ying Zheng and Zhang Sanfeng’s ascensions. As their stories spread across the Five Great Dynasties, the belief and aspirations of countless people fed into his reserves.

Only half a month ago, Bai Chen had depleted his resources to enhance his cultivation and techniques.

1. 1. 1. 1. The Nine Extremes Genesis Manual (Jiǔ Jí Chuàngshì Lù, 九极创世录
            ): His core technique, elevated to the Refining the Void, Fusing the Dao (Liànxū Hédào, 炼虚合道)stage, a pinnacle-level cultivation method.

1. 1. 1. 1. Personal Cultivation: Bai Chen himself had reached the peak of Refining Spirit to Void (Liànshén Fǎnxū, 炼神返虚), establishing himself as the strongest being in the current world.

Despite these gains, Bai Chen recognized that 450,000 points of Fate Creation Energy were insufficient to realize his grand ambitions.

“I need over a million points to enact my vision,” Bai Chen murmured, eyes blazing with determination.

His ultimate goal was to reshape the very fabric of this world, steering it toward a brighter, more extraordinary future.

The idea had taken root when he assisted Zhang Sanfeng in ascending to immortality. Over the past three days, he had finalized a comprehensive plan to achieve this transformation—a plan that would also bring his existence into the spotlight.

For now, Bai Chen decided to accelerate his efforts.

While he could passively accumulate Fate Creation Energy, the rate of growth had slowed. Most people’s destinies were merely altered perceptions rather than concrete changes, and these limited the energy he could harvest.

“It’s time to stir the pot again,” Bai Chen declared with a wry smile.

Moments later, his figure dissolved into a streak of white light, vanishing from the Bai Residence.
