Chapter 171: Crazy Shopping
Clearly, compared to exchanging high-quality martial path intents for money, Shen Xing would rather exchange a large quantity of low-quality ones.
It wasn’t that he was intentionally hoarding them, but rather that he wasn’t getting an equivalent return.
If it weren’t for the fact that this movement technique was easily pirated and could be registered by others first, he wouldn’t even need to register it.
When using it, he could simply say, “This is a unique intent of the power behind me,” and that would be enough.
However, according to Shen Xing’s current understanding, the higher the quality and realm of a martial path intent, the more difficult it is to pirate. Even for first or second realm intents, there are already many powerful and unique martial path intents that do not have obvious manifestations when used.
Not to mention anything else, the 《Dragon Formula》 that Shen Xing saw at the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion seemed to have this characteristic.
Such martial path intents are not easily pirated and are often the private reserves of various great families and powers.
Obviously, there won’t be many opportunities to register and disclose martial path intents of this quality in the future. As for the current one, Shen Xing considered it a contribution to the Human Federation.
“Upper Lieutenant authority.” Shen Xing opened the military system’s store and searched. He was quite satisfied.
Although it seemed easy for Shen Xing to be promoted, under normal circumstances, one would need to be at least a Third Realm or even a Fourth Realm expert to reach this level of authority.
There were already some very good resources in the authority store.
Shen Xing even saw a type of heavy firepower that could be mounted on a battleship, called a Jet-Propelled Nuclear Fusion Particle Cannon.
Shen Xing didn’t understand the actual principle, but according to the introduction, this weapon was truly designed to deal with Fourth Realm experts, not Fourth Realm demon beasts, nor the bare-equipped Fourth Realm experts of the other world, but the fully armored Fourth Realm experts of the Human Federation!
Unfortunately, although he had the authority, the price was a bit expensive.
Shen Xing currently had a full 84 million military merit points, but it still wasn’t enough. In addition to the high price of 34 billion, it was indeed a bit painful.
Moreover, this cannon could not be mounted on ordinary warplanes. Only the energy engines of spaceships could provide enough power to drive it.
If he really wanted to buy it, he would need a large sum of money.
After all, this weapon was considered to be of a certain level in the entire Human Federation. Even some bold space pirates might not have it.
Obviously, placing this cannon at this level of authority was to provide Third Realm martial artists with some self-defense during long-distance interstellar travel.
After all, the universe is too vast, and even the Federation Legion cannot guarantee the safety of every place.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have the conditions to buy it now.”
Shen Xing looked away with a little regret and did not forget his main purpose. He searched again for martial path intent learning equipment.
“Sure enough, there is, but it doesn’t look as advanced as the one at school.” Shen Xing looked at the projection of the device, which was nearly three meters long, wide, and high, and frowned slightly.
But after reading the introduction, he was relieved.
The more advanced the martial path intent, the more troublesome it is to learn. This is inevitable. Imprinting some martial path intents into the consciousness of a Body Tempering Stage martial artist and imprinting them into the Divine Soul of an Innate martial artist are naturally different in difficulty, and even the consumption and impact will be different.
This was another big expense, but it was essential.
Shen Xing placed the order directly and sent a message to Xiaoling to receive the goods.
According to the message, there was one in stock, and it would arrive in half a day.
Just this one purchase had directly consumed almost half of his military merit points and over 10 billion Federation currency.
Shen Xing looked at his account balance and felt a sense of urgency.
Money is never enough, and it’s not easy to be a genius.
However, he still had to spend what needed to be spent.
Shen Xing did not close the store but planned to take a closer look at what good things were available with Upper Lieutenant authority.
And he really did find some things that interested him.
For example, a device called a “Portable Yuan Power Load-Type Trainer (Portable).”
After reaching the Innate Realm, there are no longer unified cultivation assistance devices like those in the Body Tempering Stage.
This is mainly because everyone chooses different cultivation techniques and paths.
For example, with Shen Xing’s Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, a certain amount of weight can still accelerate cultivation, so Shen Xing no longer uses a load suit, but he still uses a gravity device when he focuses on cultivation.
However, for Nangong Jin Yi’s Water Moon Mirror, the gravity device has little effect. Shen Xing also learned from previous online chats that the Nangong Family has a device that can “hypnotize” for cultivation.
Because of this, it is also very important to find equipment that matches one’s own needs.
It’s not just about choosing according to the cultivation technique. Even with the same cultivation technique, different people using different equipment can have completely different effects.
It can only be said that while the Body Tempering Stage is a unified path for everyone, after reaching the Innate Realm, everyone has to find their own suitable method.
This is also the reason why there are countless large and small research institutes in the Human Federation.
Some large research institutes even provide customized research services for martial artists, including cultivation equipment and optimization of cultivation techniques.
Shen Xing’s conditions in this area are slightly weaker now, but fortunately, he still has the advantage of the other world.
Of course, since he knows he is weak, he also needs to find opportunities to catch up.
◈◈◈
The advantages of the other world must be grasped, and the advantages of the Human Federation cannot be ignored.
Shen Xing carefully examined the information and introduction of this device.
The price is not cheap. In addition to advanced materials and technology, its core item is a transcendent resource called “Sealing Stone,” which itself can suppress the Yuan Power and even the Divine Soul of martial artists. After long-term research by research institutions, it was successfully applied to the cultivation assistance of martial artists, especially suitable for those with fierce and domineering Yuan Power, which is equivalent to an alternative form of load training.
“The size is also very small and can be carried around. It should be suitable for me.” Shen Xing found that this thing also has a seven-day return service.
Then there’s nothing more to say, he placed the order directly.
In addition, there are also blade weapons that even Third Realm experts can use, which he also ordered directly.
There are also some high-quality resources, such as Third Realm Dragon-Type Blood Essence Potions specially prepared for Dragon-Type Martial Path Intent practitioners, a potion called “Earth Source Marrow” that accelerates the tempering of Yuan Power for Innate martial artists, and a resource that can slowly enhance the Divine Soul.
Shen Xing had never shopped so crazily before, mainly because most of the resources in the Lieutenant authority store were simply not comparable to the pills of the other world, and buying them would not have much effect.
But now, at the level of Upper Lieutenant, a lot of good things have suddenly appeared.
There are even some that Shen Xing is prepared to purchase long-term.
Unknowingly, he realized that his military merit points had been reduced by more than half again.
There were very few left.
“Money really doesn’t last long.” Shen Xing’s mouth twitched.
But he wasn’t too worried.
Not to mention that he could register martial path intents at any time, the research institute was also continuously selecting people to register ordinary and high-grade martial path intents. All income was strictly supervised, and the efficiency of acquiring military merit points and Federation currency was constantly increasing.
After taking another look at his personal messages and replying briefly, Shen Xing returned to Garrison City with the satisfaction of a crazy shopping spree.
“Let’s go, another trip to the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.”
This time, Shen Xing did not take a beast-drawn carriage but directly boarded his flying vehicle, after all, it was faster.
And this uniquely shaped flying vehicle also attracted a lot of attention.
In a place like Garrison City, there was no shortage of flying mounts and flying puppets, but obviously, Shen Xing’s flying vehicle was completely different from those things.
When Shen Xing stopped in front of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, many people were still paying attention.
Some people with considerable strength even started to approach Shen Xing.
However, when they saw Yan Siniang coming out to greet him, they all stopped in their tracks.
Shen Xing’s existence was not widespread in Garrison City, but Yan Siniang was a big shot in the entire city!
Just seeing the smile on her face was enough for everyone around to remember Shen Xing’s appearance.
“Young Master Shen, you’ve come.” Yan Siniang was about to say something, but she suddenly stopped.
Because Shen Xing appeared in front of her in an instant, his speed was extremely fast, giving people a sense of ease and freedom.
But this wasn’t the point.
The point was, this was clearly 《Nine Transformations of the Roaming Dragon》!
Yan Siniang naturally wouldn’t mistake it. That dragon-like intent was extremely clear! It didn’t even look like he had just started learning it!
But only a day had passed!
At this moment, the first thing Yan Siniang thought of was that Shen Xing had already learned this movement technique!
This was also the most reasonable explanation. After all, this Young Master Shen had only looked at it for a moment yesterday!
“If Young Master Shen is here for a second Divine Intent.” Yan Siniang’s face was already a little ugly, but she still forced a smile, “It hasn’t been half a month, which meets the requirements. Which one does Young Master Shen intend to choose?”
In the past, there were also prodigies who used this method to deceive, but apart from gaining some ridiculous fame, it was actually meaningless, because they could only truly obtain one from the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion doesn’t care about such people.
At this time, Yan Siniang was prepared to handle this matter according to the rules.
Shen Xing also noticed the change in her attitude and could even guess what she was suspecting.
However, he didn’t care and didn’t intend to explain.
“For the second one, choose a palm technique,” Shen Xing said.
“Young Master Shen, please follow me.” Yan Siniang seemed to have decided not to say anything more and just went to prepare the Dragon Blocking Palm Divine Intent Inheritance.
But this was exactly what Shen Xing wanted.
He didn’t have time to talk now. He just wanted to learn all the Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents as quickly as possible!
Therefore, after a few minutes, after recording and producing the learning package, Shen Xing directly boarded his flying vehicle and left.
This decisive action made Yan Siniang a little suspicious.
He doesn’t seem like someone who would cheat for a little bit of false fame.
