Chapter 247: Sixth Realm Talisman

In the end, the cooperation between Shen Xing and the Dragon Gate was very harmonious.

The Dragon Gate even offered a certain premium. For them, it was naturally a huge profit. To put it bluntly, just the top-grade, Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents from the first to third realms provided by Shen Xing were an epic version buff for martial artists below the third realm who cultivated the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique!

A version buff that crushes everything!

For Shen Xing, these Martial Path Intents were basically zero cost, but they were exchanged for a huge amount of resources, especially the blood essence of these Dragon Vein Giant Beasts.

You must know that he originally planned to capture a large number of Fourth Realm Dragon Vein Demon Beasts and take them away, which was why he came here.

But now, it was not necessary at all.

Just using them as opponents in the Beast Fighting Arena was enough, and the missing Dragon Qi could be fully supplemented from this large amount of blood essence.

Not to mention other raw materials.

Some of them were even in short supply for refining Dragon-Type pills.

In other words, just this one transaction had fully replenished his resources, which had already begun to be scarce!

This made Shen Xing sigh in his heart.

Using the Shuttle, this cheat, in trade was indeed invincible.

Moreover, this was a real win-win situation. Even though he made a huge profit, the other party also gained a lot.

“With these Martial Path Intents, I’m afraid that the next freshman champion, no, the next ten freshman champions, will all be from our Dragon Gate,” Liu Yanfeng said with a hearty laugh. “This is all thanks to Director Shen.”

That’s right, Shen Xing was now an honorary director of the Dragon Gate.

After this transaction was finalized, it was unanimously agreed upon by the entire Dragon Gate board of directors.

In terms of contributions to Dragon-Type martial arts, in the entire Dragon Gate, perhaps no one except Ji Long, the creator of the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, could compare with Shen Xing.

Not to mention, Shen Xing’s potential was obvious.

Once his strength reached the Sixth Realm, he would no longer be an honorary director, but would officially enter the highest board of directors of the Dragon Gate Association, becoming a member of the board. His authority within the Dragon Gate could even be compared to Ji Long!

Of course, having comparable authority did not mean that his influence could be compared. However, would the Sixth Realm be Shen Xing’s limit?

No one would think so.

The development of martial arts fully demonstrated the potential of future generations. The first person to enter the Seventh Realm took a full seven hundred years. But now, the fastest to enter the Seventh Realm only took three hundred years. As for Shen Xing, many people predicted that he could do it in as little as two hundred years.

This was the lifespan of a Body Tempering Stage citizen, but for some powerhouses, it was really too short, too short.

Therefore, Shen Xing could even borrow some of the prestige of his “future” at this time.

This was also one of the reasons why Shen Xing wanted to win first place and show his talent.

He knew very well.

When you have enough influence, no matter how bad the surrounding environment is, and no matter how dark people’s hearts are, most of the people around you will be “good people.”

Isn’t that the case now?

The Dragon Gate, including the Fifth Realm Completion powerhouse in front of him, were all so kind that they seemed like “good people.”

When Shen Xing left, he even received a gift from Liu Yanfeng—three Fifth Realm Completion jade talismans.

Obviously, this kind of thing was most suitable for these powerhouses to give to “juniors” who were still relatively weak but had high status.

Accumulating a certain number of these in hand, one would probably not be afraid even when facing a Mountain and Sea Realm expert directly.

However, this also reminded Shen Xing.

He used his board of directors’ authority to place another order to buy a few Sun and Moon Realm jade talismans!

This thing was really expensive, mainly because the raw materials were scarce and it was not easy to make. Even Sun and Moon Realm experts might not have them. But if Shen Xing really needed them, then the Sun and Moon Realm directors of the Dragon Gate would all give him face. If they didn’t have them, they would make a few.

This was the weight of a new honorary director!

“The Human Federation… is indeed the main body of an advanced civilization,” Shen Xing could only sigh in the end.

In the other world, even in the Tianyuan Sect, if one did not show enough force, no matter how great their potential was, they would still be bullied and plundered. But in the Human Federation, this situation was much better, at least within the sphere of influence of the Federation.

Even if someone dared to openly and without reason deal with him, the strongest prodigy in the history of the Academy Home Planet with a promising future, it would not only be anti-Federation, but anti-human!

However, all of this was just for faster and stronger growth.

Now that many troubles had been cleared, Shen Xing could once again calm down and continue his cultivation.

The entire spaceship also began to settle above the Dragon Gate city.

Of course, it was not completely open.

For confidentiality reasons, most of the members of the research institute were still only allowed to stay on the spaceship. All external communication was under the monitoring of the spaceship’s AI. Only the martial artists of the military department could take their weapons and go to the interdimensional battlefield to hunt.

It is worth mentioning that after Shen Xing’s identity was made public, many people came up to apply to join the research institute.

After thinking about it, Xiaoling decided to separate these people.

An office was built in the Dragon Gate city, allowing these newcomers to be in a semi-joined state for the time being. That is to say, they joined in name, but were not allowed to enter the spaceship. Instead, they stayed in the office for a period of internship assessment.

Shen Xing only briefly understood such matters and let Xiaoling complete them.

The same was true for transactions with the Dragon Gate.

As for him, he was nominally in seclusion for cultivation. In fact, he took the first batch of Dragon-Type blood essence paid by the Dragon Gate and returned to the Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm.

“From this blood essence, we can extract about ten Dragon Crystals!” Huang Xingjie seemed very surprised. “All of them are from above the Fourth Realm.”

◈◈◈

“As long as it can be used,” Shen Xing was not surprised. “How many Fourth Realm Dragon Vein Demon Beasts did the Tianyuan Sect send?”

“About two hundred,” Huang Xingjie replied.

He had now become the chief steward of the secret realm and was responsible for communication with the Tianyuan Sect.

Shen Xing nodded slightly.

Two hundred was enough for him to cultivate for a while.

During this time, he also experienced the other trials in the Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm.

It has to be said that they were indeed mysterious.

For example, the Dragon Blood Waterfall could be used to temper the body with a large amount of Dragon-Type blood essence, strengthening the physique. For Dragon-Type martial artists, it was quite useful, and Shen Xing often went in to temper himself.

Then there was the Heart-Questioning Mirror, which was a huge illusion that allowed people to experience all kinds of things, even tempering the heart in the mortal world. But in Shen Xing’s view, it was actually a virtual game console.

A single-player version.

So after a simple try, he was not very interested.

In addition, there was a sparring platform.

Also an illusion, but it allowed people to practice with various figures in the illusion. It had a miraculous effect on the cultivation of Martial Path Intent. This was also where Shen Xing went most often during his daily cultivation.

There were also the Fire Furnace and the Ice Domain. One also tempered the body, but instead of strengthening, it was to endure pain, remove some impurities, and treat hidden injuries. The other tempered the Divine Soul, with the same effect.

As for the remaining five trial grounds, four of them were dedicated to alchemists and artifact refiners. The remaining one was the inheritance trial, used to test ability, talent, and arrange the inheritance of Martial Path Intents. It had an effect similar to a learning device.

It could only be said that these twelve trials indeed fully demonstrated the mystery of the martial artists of this world, especially the inheritance ground. Although it was not as straightforward and powerful as the learning device, it did indeed have similarities.

It even made Shen Xing a little curious about this aspect.

However, he only had a little understanding and did not go deeper.

It was only because this aspect was indeed profound and extraordinary. Most martial artists would only delve into it when they reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, in order to seek a breakthrough by analogy.

Therefore, Shen Xing spent more time in the Beast Fighting Arena, and his life became regular.

However, this time only lasted for another month before he had to stop.

For no other reason than that he was running out of pills.

“So, an alchemist failed a batch?” Shen Xing looked at Sect Master Bai Yu in front of him, his expression also somewhat helpless. “It’s just a Fourth-Grade pill, how can a Fifth-Grade alchemist fail?”

After the Beast Fighting Arena had sufficient Dragon Qi, it could indeed quickly improve strength, but pills were also indispensable. Moreover, he also needed pills to learn Earth Grade Martial Path Intents. Now he had only learned more than fifty, and there were still more than thirty left to learn.

Originally, relying on the three Fifth-Grade alchemists of the Tianyuan Sect and the Tianyuan Sect’s accumulation of medicinal herbs, it was barely enough.

But, this sudden failure of a batch.

Made it somewhat unable to keep up with Shen Xing’s consumption.

After all, his consumption was really too fast.

One person’s consumption was actually comparable to the needs of forty or fifty Spirit Realm experts. This was not a problem of the value of the pills, but of the reserves. The consumption of pills was inherently high, and the Tianyuan Sect simply did not have such a large reserve of Eight-Pattern Golden Dragon Pills.

“Although this Eight-Pattern Golden Dragon Pill is also a Fourth-Grade, it is a top-tier Fourth-Grade. The difficulty of refining it is comparable to that of an ordinary Fifth-Grade. Occasional failures are normal.” Bai Yu felt a little ashamed when faced with Shen Xing’s gaze, but at this time he could only make amends, “We have already sent a Mountain and Sea Realm elder to the Great Shang to purchase at a premium price. It will take a few days at most. In addition, although there are no more Eight-Pattern Golden Dragon Pills, there are still many other high-grade Fourth-Grade Dragon-Type pills.”

Shen Xing nodded slightly.

Even with his background and speed of improvement, his consumption was so amazing. But the Tianyuan Sect was after all a sect with a Sun and Moon Realm expert. It was impossible for them to not be able to handle this.

It was just an unexpected accident.

However, this also reminded Shen Xing.

“In another two or three months, I will be able to break through to the Spirit Realm,” he said. “At that time, I will need a large number of Fifth-Grade pills for cultivation.”

When Bai Yu heard this, his expression changed slightly.

He really wanted to ask, don’t your family care?

But in the end, he didn’t ask.

The cooperative relationship between Shen Xing and them was that one side opened the secret realm and the other provided resources.

Originally, it seemed like they were making a huge profit.

But, this guy was really a glutton.
