In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Elementary School Toys

Such a reaction did not surprise Shen Xing.

Although the Human Federation lacked transcendent materials that had undergone a qualitative change due to the effects of Yuan Qi, through technology, they had achieved profound results in the field of materials science within the Martial Path.

And this was one of the more basic achievements.

The Yuan Power characteristics of this material determined its high demand in both worlds. Even in the Human Federation, it was widely used in various Martial Path-related equipment.

What Shen Xing had taken out was not even of high quality.

It was just a relatively inexpensive product model with a relatively low cost.

But even so, when brought to the Wu Region, it still had an overwhelmingly superior effect.

Even the so-called Yuan Gold and Yuan Silver were just gold and silver that had undergone slight transcendent changes. Not only was the extraction cost high, but the effect was also inferior to the material Shen Xing had produced.

This comparison undoubtedly demonstrated the crushing superiority of technology!

“Young Master Shen.” A Xiantian expert with white hair and beard, but a robust physique and a composed demeanor, stood up. “May this old man examine it?”

Many people around recognized him.

“It’s Master Shi Ju.”

“I didn’t expect Master Shi Ju to come as well.”

“With Master here, it will be clear whether this material is truly as powerful as described.”

“We naturally trust Master Shi Ju’s skill.”

“…”

Many Xiantian experts present spoke up for this Refiner named Shi Ju, some even with a hint of flattery in their tone. The status of Refiners in this world was evident.

Shen Xing also observed him.

This was his first time seeing a Refiner.

Apart from his extraordinary demeanor, the man’s gaze had been fixed on the box of materials, clearly showing his great interest.

After all, this was a treasure that could comprehensively improve the quality of Spiritual Weapons!

“Of course.” Shen Xing nodded slightly.

Having received permission, the Refiner named Shi Ju moved in a flash, directly arriving on the stage, even using his body movement technique. He eagerly picked up a piece.

A blazing light suddenly burst from his hand.

All Refiners possessed some kind of Martial Path Intent similar to the “Blazing Palm.” With the powerful force of Yuan Power, they could even melt some materials with their bare hands.

And at this moment, upon touching the material, Shi Ju could no longer control his excitement.

“The Yuan Power conductivity is indeed more than ten times that of ordinary gold and silver, and it’s very hard, very hard! Is this already a refined material? The purity is extremely high!”

With the master’s confirmation, all the Xiantian experts, and even the ordinary martial artists participating in the auction, could no longer sit still.

Although they were not Refiners, who wouldn’t want a good Spiritual Weapon?

Moreover, everyone knew the weakness of gold and silver, which was their softness. Adding too much would affect the toughness of the Spiritual Weapon. But these materials seemed to have overcome even this weakness.

It was easy to imagine that Spiritual Weapons made with this material would be much stronger than those without. In combat, that would be a significant advantage!

“What’s the starting bid?”

“I see it’s already made into square bricks. Why not auction them one by one?”

“How long would that take? Let’s auction the whole box together!”

“Hmph, I think you Six Sects want to monopolize it. That’s too naive.”

“That’s right. Others may fear you, but my Divine Sword Villa does not!”

“…”

The Xiantian experts were already starting to compete. Among the Body Tempering Stage martial artists below, many were trembling under the pressure of the Xiantian experts’ auras, but some had a glint of desire in their eyes.

As a high-quality substitute for Yuan Gold and Yuan Silver, this definition was clear not only in its function but also in its value.

Buying it at a certain price would not be a loss!

“This Young Master brought a total of sixty-four pieces. We’ll auction them in groups of eight, with a starting bid of ten Marrow Transformation Pills.” Shen Xing said directly, “If you have treasures superior to Marrow Transformation Pills, you can bring them out, regardless of what they are. Spring Rain Trading Company can appraise their value. If this Young Master is interested, I may prioritize them even at a lower price.”

Everyone could see that this material was probably nothing special to Young Master Shen.

It seemed that he was holding this auction just to obtain pills and collect some interesting items.

But no matter what, the quantity of things brought from the Outer Region was bound to be limited. Maybe this was all there was!

Someone immediately called out, “Twenty pills!”

The starting bid was doubled instantly. Everyone looked over and found that it was Elder Du from the Emperor Sect.

“Mere Marrow Transformation Pills are nothing to my Emperor Sect.” Elder Du said proudly with his hands behind his back.

The materials for Marrow Transformation Pills were centuries-old medicinal herbs, which were extremely rare for ordinary people. However, for long-standing forces like the Emperor Sect, who had their own medicinal herb fields, it was an exaggeration to say they didn’t lack them, but compared to families like the Pang Family, their resources were indeed on a different level.

This price was already more than three times that of Yuan Gold.

However, there were many forces with long histories like the Emperor Sect in the Wu Region.

“My Divine Sword Villa bids twenty-five pills!”

Once again, everyone’s attention was drawn.

Including Shen Xing’s.

It wasn’t for any other reason, but because the name “Divine Sword Villa” was too classic.

So many martial arts novels he had read in his previous life featured this villa.

However, this was indeed a coincidence. The Divine Sword Villa of the Wu Region was not a sword-casting villa, but merely possessed a powerful sword-shaped Spiritual Weapon, hence the name. Their strength and resources were equally powerful, and they also had experts beyond the Xiantian Realm.

◈◈◈

More importantly, they had a long-standing feud with the Emperor Sect.

“Hmph.” Elder Du from the Emperor Sect snorted coldly, “Thirty pills!”

“Forty pills.” The Xiantian expert from Divine Sword Villa was also an old man. He smiled slightly at Shen Xing, “For the first round of the auction, let’s set a high price for Young Master Shen as a good omen.”

Shen Xing smiled and nodded slightly.

This kind of attitude could be considered arrogant, but coming from him, it seemed perfectly normal.

No one would find it inappropriate. In fact, being able to offer a smile was already a sign of some degree of closeness.

This was the benefit of “establishing a persona.”

Once the persona of a noble young master from a powerful force in the Outer Region was established, then in a small place like the Wu Region, he naturally had to act superior.

“Hmph.” Elder Du snorted coldly and did not bid further.

He had no intention of doing Shen Xing any favors.

Thus, the first group was sold for forty Marrow Transformation Pills.

The subsequent auctions were much more normal. Except for the last group, which again fetched a high price of forty pills, the other six groups averaged around twenty Marrow Transformation Pills or a dozen Soul Nourishing Pills.

But after this round, Shen Xing had directly acquired more than one hundred and sixty Marrow Transformation Pills and thirty-one Soul Nourishing Pills!

Even with his current terrifying consumption rate, this was enough to last him more than a month.

Of course, his consumption would definitely increase more and more rapidly.

Shen Xing’s current foundation required a large amount of resources to support.

So he didn’t think it was too much, only that it wasn’t enough.

“Next is the second item.” Shen Xing opened another box. “As far as I know, during the Wu Kingdom era, there was a special Spiritual Weapon called the Thousand-Mile Token, which allowed people to communicate instantly within a thousand miles. Is that correct?”

Inside the box were some white, token-sized objects.

A considerable number of them!

The many Xiantian experts looked at each other, seemingly having already guessed what Shen Xing was about to present.

And among them, the most excited were those from the Spring Rain Trading Company.

“That’s right!” Manager Yi even took out a jade token from his bosom. “Young Master Shen, please take a look. This is a Thousand-Mile Token passed down from that era. This old man can use it to directly contact the President. But unfortunately, these tokens are too rare. Does Young Master Shen have similar treasures? Are there many?”

By the end, he could no longer contain the excitement in his voice.

The usefulness of such a thing to a trading company was simply indescribable.

In fact, it was very useful to any force.

Some even believed that the loss of its production method was the reason why no dynasty had appeared after the Wu Kingdom!

Because the slowness and inefficiency of communication made it impossible for any force to control such a vast territory on their own!

And if there were enough Thousand-Mile Tokens, they could maintain firm control.

The more they had, the larger the area they could control!

Realizing this, many others looked at Shen Xing with even more fervent gazes.

Most of them were representatives of various forces.

If they could obtain a large number of Thousand-Mile Tokens.

“May this Young Master take a look at this token?” Shen Xing asked Manager Yi.

“Of course!” Manager Yi handed it over directly.

Shen Xing held it in his hand and immediately understood.

It was indeed Inscriptions.

After learning that this world also had long-distance communication devices, he had guessed that they used Inscription methods to utilize the “Yuan Qi Wave” characteristics of Yuan Qi.

Yes, Yuan Qi, as a form of energy, like electromagnetism, also possessed its own “energy field” characteristics.

However, using Inscriptions to utilize this characteristic was too complicated, and only Refiners could make them.

But in the Human Federation, the production method for “Yuan Qi communicators” was part of the elementary school curriculum for second graders.

Shen Xing had even made one himself when he was a child.

Compared to electromagnetic wave communication, Yuan Qi waves had stronger anti-interference capabilities and a longer communication range.

Even without a relay station, a thousand miles was not a problem.

Of course, in the Human Federation, which had already entered the era of quantum communication, this kind of Yuan Qi wave communication method was not widely used, serving only as a supplementary means of communication.

And what Shen Xing had taken out were precisely a bunch of “elementary school toys” he had bought.

This was one of the few purely “Yuan Qi technologies” in the Human Federation.

No screen, no chip, no circuit board, as simple as the “paper cup telephones” Shen Xing had played with in his previous life.

But its technical core also lay in the materials.

Some materials that could finely control Yuan Qi. With the technology of this world, even if they could be found, the cost would not be low.

Therefore, this thing neither needed to worry about being seen as a completely different technological direction, nor did it need to worry about being replicated.
