Chapter 109: Rapid Improvement in Strength
After these words were spoken, many of the forces present cursed inwardly.
Especially the people from the Six Sects.
They had just been discussing how they must obtain this inheritance no matter what.
As long as they could obtain even a little bit of the true meaning of a Fourth Realm expert, they absolutely couldn’t let it go.
Even for the Grandmasters within their sects, it would be of immense benefit.
However, as soon as the person from the Spring Rain Trading Company spoke, they were rendered speechless. Everyone could see that Manager Yi’s proposal was the most beneficial for Young Master Shen.
Shen Xing indeed chuckled again.
“This is rather interesting.” He looked around and said indifferently, “I have no intention of recruiting a large number of retainers, but if there are truly talented individuals, it wouldn’t hurt to nurture one or two. It would also prevent true talents from being wasted in this small place.”
These words were equivalent to agreeing to Manager Yi’s proposal.
In fact, Shen Xing had considered this, but he didn’t care much about it.
His gains today were already sufficient. This last “treasure” was, in essence, deliberately brought out to intimidate everyone.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of selecting it and even adding sound effects.
If he hadn’t done this, with all the treasures he had obtained today, there was no doubt that within a few days, Innate Realm experts would take the risk and sneak into his mansion at night.
Even with the borrowed authority of the Human Federation’s martial arts experts, it might not have been enough to completely prevent it.
With such great benefits at stake, unless he had a powerful expert by his side, it was hard to guarantee that no one would be blinded by greed.
But at the very least, anyone who wanted to make a move would be much more cautious and would definitely not dare to reveal their identity. Otherwise, no matter what, they wouldn’t be able to escape the revenge of his “backing force.”
And that was enough.
In addition, he could also gain the favor of many people and forces who wanted to get close to him.
Such as the Spring Rain Trading Company.
Shen Xing could guarantee that after this, the entire Spring Rain Trading Company would place the utmost importance on him!
Even if someone wanted to harm him, the Spring Rain Trading Company would protect him with all their might.
To put it simply, compared to the benefits he had obtained today, the potential benefits behind him were even more attractive!
Everything revolved around benefits.
Including Shen Xing himself.
“We’ll do as you say. Then, this auction will come to an end.” He said to Manager Yi, then, without looking at the others, he slowly left under everyone’s gaze.
His steps were light, and his expression was natural.
As if the shock he had given to so many people today was just a small matter to him.
Only the group of Innate Realm experts remained, looking at each other, momentarily left with only sighs of admiration.
“There’s always someone better, and there’s always a sky beyond the sky.”
“The Wu Region is truly too small.”
“The world is vast, and we are all just country bumpkins.”
“It’s a pity that among the new generation, I’m afraid no one will dare to call themselves a prodigy anymore.”
“If I could witness the grace of such a powerful senior, I would die without regrets!”
“…”
The auction ended with these sighs and exclamations.
But it was clear that the end of the auction was just the beginning of a great upheaval.
All the major forces that had come to participate hurriedly returned with their gains, especially the news about their “Fourth Realm ancestors.”
In the current Wu Region, anything even slightly related to the Fourth Realm Ancestor Emperor of Wu Kingdom would cause a stir throughout the entire region!
Let alone something like this?
Everything that happened at the auction would definitely spread throughout the entire Wu Region in the shortest possible time.
Everyone would know the terror of Shen Xing’s background!
Unlike the previous speculations, at least the tip of the iceberg had now appeared, and that was the Fourth Realm!
A Fourth Realm family!
Even now, the entire Dragon Flood City, along with some surrounding cities, had already begun to stir.
Countless people flocked to the Spring Rain Tower, wanting to see the “Fourth Realm inheritance” with their own eyes.
And the Spring Rain Trading Company had already begun to quote prices for the items Shen Xing needed.
A single Marrow Transformation Pill only allowed one person to comprehend for three days.
Only other treasures, especially those related to dragons, were more valuable.
Of course, the Spring Rain Trading Company itself wouldn’t miss out.
Jiang Mei had already begun to comprehend. In addition, all the prodigies from the various branches of the Spring Rain Trading Company were rushing towards Dragon Flood City under the orders of the president.
Unlike ordinary forces, they didn’t care if their prodigies joined Shen Xing, they even hoped for it.
As for achieving minor completion in half a year, although it was incredible in this world, with the assistance of this “inheritance crystal,” it wasn’t impossible.
After all, the original purpose of this kind of equipment was to assist in cultivation.
Even Third Realm experts might be able to gain some insights.
◈◈◈
For the Third Realm experts of the Human Federation, it was nothing, but for the Third Realm experts of this world, it was definitely a rare opportunity!
And Shen Xing’s promise was not just empty words.
If someone could achieve minor completion in half a year without the learning device, it meant they were indeed talented. Nurturing them with some resources he didn’t need, or even with some of the Human Federation’s auxiliary equipment, was a simple matter.
He always needed people to do things. People like the Gong Family members had low potential and weren’t worth cultivating much, they could only do menial tasks at most, and he couldn’t keep them around forever.
It was better to cultivate some geniuses.
However, these matters, including the upcoming upheaval in the Wu Region, were secondary to him.
The most important thing, of course, was his own cultivation.
After returning to his mansion, Shen Xing looked at his gains and couldn’t help but smile.
Aside from everything else, just the more than four hundred Marrow Transformation Pills had solved a big problem.
To be honest, in the past few days, he hadn’t dared to use the Marrow Transformation Pills freely, only daring to take another one after the previous one’s medicinal effects had completely worn off, because his stock was almost depleted.
But now, he could use them freely!
With the current quality of his cultivation technique and the strength of his foundation, he could use six or seven pills a day without any problems.
And as his realm improved and the quality and level of the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique increased, this consumption would also increase.
The accumulation of more and more Martial Path Intents seemed to be bringing about some kind of strange change in him.
Even he couldn’t predict how long it would take him to reach the Organ Tempering Stage, but he could clearly feel that the transformation of his body was continuing, and his strength was increasing every moment.
“Cultivate!”
Shen Xing swallowed another Marrow Transformation Pill and once again began practicing the Basic Training Routine.
The training assistance equipment he was using now was customized, not only more effective than before, but also more powerful. No matter how much his strength improved, he didn’t have to worry about the power being insufficient.
It could always maximize efficiency.
Coupled with an ample supply of pills that he could use freely, cultivating made Shen Xing almost unable to stop.
And he controlled his rhythm very well.
When he got tired of the training routine, he would start learning Martial Path Intents, starting with the top-grade ones. He had already learned all the top-grade First Realm Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents of the Human Federation, but now he had obtained some more from the auction, a total of seven, four of which were provided by the Emperor Sect alone.
Among them, the highest quality was the Mysterious Dragon Finger.
Shen Xing was thinking of taking the time to register it with the Human Federation. He could guarantee that the suggested price of the Mysterious Dragon Finger would not be less than two hundred million.
He heard that there was a Second Realm version of the Mysterious Dragon Finger in the Emperor Sect, and Shen Xing was quite looking forward to it.
And after obtaining a sufficient supply of Soul Nourishing Pills, Soul Condensing Pills, and other similar pills, Shen Xing’s speed in mastering new Martial Path Intents also greatly increased.
He basically maintained a rhythm of two and a half hours of training routine followed by learning a Martial Path Intent.
He even took the time to enhance several key Martial Path Intents, such as the Dragon Elephant Body, Thunder Flash, and Phantom Body Movement Technique.
Especially the Dragon Elephant Body.
With the support of the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, as well as Flood Dragon bones and Dragon Marrow Pills, its progress could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, even surpassing the other two.
This made Shen Xing hesitate whether to switch his main body movement technique and saber technique to Dragon-Type as well.
However, among the top-grade Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents, there was no suitable “Space” type, at least not in the First Realm.
“The Human Federation still lacks Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents. I’ll look for more in this world later,” Shen Xing thought.
For the time being, he didn’t plan to switch. After all, Thunder Flash and Phantom Body Movement Technique were already approaching completion, and there was a high possibility that they would become the next Martial Path Intents after Leg Axe to reach the Second Realm level during the Body Tempering Stage.
And they were top-grade Martial Path Intents.
Once they reached that level, coupled with “Space,” they would surely become his most powerful trump cards!
With his increasingly monstrous foundation, even Shen Xing himself found it hard to imagine what level he could reach.
But that didn’t stop him from being full of anticipation.
Thanks to the “deterrent” he had given at the auction, although Shen Xing strengthened the monitoring and security of his mansion, nothing happened these days. He was able to cultivate peacefully and enjoy the rapid improvement of his strength.
At the same time, the Gong Family, including the Spring Rain Trading Company, continued to provide new information every day.
As more and more people witnessed the “Great Sage’s inheritance,” Shen Xing’s reputation gradually resounded throughout the entire Wu Region. More and more people were coming. Now, there were at least fifty Innate Realm experts in Dragon Flood City, many of whom wanted to meet Shen Xing, but he turned them all down under the pretext of cultivation.
However, Shen Xing also keenly sensed the undercurrents surging beneath this enormous prestige.
——He had in his hands an inheritance that led directly to the Fourth Realm.
This news was also quietly spreading within Dragon Flood City.
“Is it the people from the Six Sects?” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly.
During the auction that day, he had used software to analyze the micro-expressions of every Innate Realm expert. He could clearly see who wanted to get close and who was full of vigilance.
But he always felt that the people from the Six Sects shouldn’t be so foolish.
The bigger the family, the more cautious they should be in the face of his situation.
