Chapter 90: A System Unique to This World

For a time, the voices of various Innate Realm experts continued to sound, each filled with flattery and goodwill. Among them were Innate Realm martial artists who were close to the Pang family, and even some who had good relations with Pang Feigong.

But at this moment, not a single person seemed to care about Pang Feigong’s death.

Shen Xing had anticipated this. At least, after demonstrating his deterrent power, which was enough to kill an Innate Realm expert, no one would dare to openly oppose him for a while.

There was no helping it, this world was just that realistic.

And after he moved into the residence gifted by the Spring Rain Trading Company, the Pang family hurriedly sent dozens of Marrow Transformation Pills, along with various other treasures and valuables, filling several large chests.

All as an apology.

They didn’t even think about asking for the return of the Spiritual Armor that Pang Feigong had been wearing.

Clearly, they had spared no expense.

It was a complete act of begging for mercy.

Seeing how sensible they were, Shen Xing released Pang Qingshan.

He had already established his dominance, there was no need to push them to extinction and appear ruthless.

More importantly, leaving an Innate Realm expert in the Pang family would prevent the situation in Dragon Flood City from spiraling out of control too quickly.

He needed a period of stability to digest his gains.

Moreover, it was clear that Pang Qingshan would not have a good ending.

He was already well aware of the internal problems within the Pang family.

“Things should be relatively stable for a while,” Shen Xing examined the treasures sent by the Pang family. Aside from the valuables and pills, there were two items that stood out significantly from the rest.

One was a Second-Grade Treasure Pill called the Dragon Marrow Pill.

As the name suggested, it was made from the marrow of the flood dragon excavated beneath the city, supplemented by several rare medicinal herbs.

Its medicinal potency even exceeded that of ordinary Second-Grade pills.

Its only drawback was that its medicinal properties were too fierce.

Even holding it in his hand, Shen Xing could feel a strong aura of Dragon’s Might. The pill seemed to possess a life of its own, and even its Yuan Qi exuded a unique aura.

He had heard of this type of Treasure Pill. Ordinary Innate Realm experts might not even be able to digest it.

One careless move, and they could be overwhelmed by its potency, suffering severe injuries instead of benefiting from it.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been left untouched until now.

Even so, its quality and medicinal properties were undeniable. Only the eight founding families of Dragon Flood City possessed such a pill, and offering it now was a sign of their utmost sincerity.

For Shen Xing, this pill was also of great significance.

—It was incredibly beneficial for his Dragon Elephant Body cultivation!

He didn’t need to consume it, as his current body couldn’t withstand its power. But simply carrying it close to his body and gradually absorbing the unique Yuan Qi it emitted, while sensing its distinct Dragon’s Might aura, was enough to accelerate his Dragon Elephant Body cultivation!

“This is an unexpected surprise!”

Shen Xing chose a jade bottle, placed the pill inside, and hung it around his neck.

In fact, even with a constant supply of high-quality meat and his high compatibility, Shen Xing’s Dragon Elephant Body was still the slowest progressing Martial Path Intent. This was simply because body-type Martial Path Intents were inherently slower to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, he now had a way to accelerate its progress.

His decision was correct. This world indeed held many surprises waiting to be discovered.

At this moment, Shen Xing became very interested in dragon bones.

However, after the flood dragon bones were excavated, various forces flocked to the area, and the bones had long since been scattered throughout the Wu Region. Some were used for medicine and pill crafting, others for forging Spiritual Weapons, and some were even used to comprehend Divine Intent Inheritances. The so-called eight great families had only managed to excavate some remnants later on, and it was uncertain how much was left now.

Therefore, he would find an opportunity to inquire about it, but for now, his resources were already abundant. He should focus on digesting them first before considering other matters.

Shen Xing then looked at the other treasure, a piece of leather paper made of an unknown material.

The Pang family clearly had some understanding of his preferences. Among the gifts were many high-quality Martial Path Intents, but this leather paper, placed in the most valuable box, seemed to be no ordinary Martial Path Intent.

Because on the leather paper was a rather profound pattern. He could feel flames surging within it, but he couldn’t tell what type of Martial Path Intent it was.

It was more like the special inscriptions on the Spiritual Armor.

Shen Xing then looked at the captured Spiritual Armor beside him.

Although he couldn’t identify the specific materials, its Yuan Power conductivity was very high. It seemed to be mixed with a lot of gold and silver, but it wasn’t like ordinary gold and silver.

Shen Xing used his alloy saber to shave off a portion and brought over his detection equipment to analyze the material.

The results quickly appeared.

Aside from gold and silver, there was a series of other metallic elements. It looked like an ordinary alloy.

However, the results report specifically emphasized one point.

【Some of the metallic elements were filled with a special Yuan Qi, and the material properties had undergone a transcendent transformation. This detection equipment could not analyze it, and it was recommended to use a different detection device. 】

“Transcendent transformation,” Shen Xing murmured, looking at these words.

He knew what this meant. This kind of knowledge was considered one of the most basic subjects in the Human Federation.

That is, 《the transcendent transformation of matter by Yuan Qi.》

Yuan Qi could not only affect life but also non-living matter.

◈◈◈

And this was the origin of transcendent materials.

Why was Shen Xing’s alloy saber so expensive?

Its materials were close to the physical limit of alloy hardness, and its forging process was not only complex but also required extreme environmental conditions, such as extreme heat, extreme pressure, and so on.

However, in the Human Federation, this was still only for Body Tempering Stage use.

More expensive materials were the “transcendent materials” obtained from interdimensional battlefields.

Their properties had been altered by Yuan Qi over a long period, giving them transcendent characteristics.

The artificial manufacturing and synthesis of such materials had always been at the forefront of research in the Human Federation, and there had indeed been some results, but that was not something Shen Xing could know in detail.

But after learning about the other world, he had always looked forward to obtaining such materials, because most of them were extremely expensive.

And now, he had finally seen them.

This Spiritual Armor clearly contained many precious materials.

Shen Xing suddenly thought of something and quickly searched through the Pang family’s apology gifts.

Sure enough, there were transcendent materials among them!

And quite a few types.

Shen Xing saw a piece of raw iron ore that emitted a chilling aura. Upon touching it, the temperature was at least a dozen degrees below zero.

And the label on it read “Cold Iron”.

There were also some other materials.

But not in large quantities.

It was clear that even here, such materials were quite precious.

“I remember the textbook mentioned that the production of this stuff is related to Yuan Qi concentration and time,” Shen Xing couldn’t access the internet at the moment, so he couldn’t look up information.

However, he could roughly guess that even in this world, there were areas rich in resources and areas that were poor.

Not to mention anything else, the Yuan Qi concentration in Dragon Flood City was significantly higher than in Clearwater City, at least 50-60% higher.

In that case, if there were areas with even higher Yuan Qi concentration, the production of related materials would certainly not be low!

Shen Xing was quite looking forward to this.

He then turned his attention back to the strange pattern drawn on the leather paper. By comparing it with the pattern on the armor, he could confirm that they were of the same kind.

“I see, this kind of inscription is the key to refining Spiritual Weapons,” Shen Xing carefully sensed it and finally confirmed that this thing was essentially the same as saber techniques, body movement techniques, and the like ━ they were all manifestations of intent.

If that was the case, then it should be learnable with the learning device!

Shen Xing thought for a moment and directly took out the device, trying to create a learning package.

The result was indeed successful!

“Should I learn it?” Shen Xing’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Judging from the data in the learning package, it was only First Realm, not Second Realm, but the Pang family had presented it as a top-tier treasure, indicating its extremely high value, perhaps even comparable to the Dragon Marrow Pill!

“Learn it!”

Shen Xing moved in a flash, directly returning to the Human Federation and bringing back a better Martial Path Intent learning device that he had already prepared.

With money, he had naturally bought better equipment. As for the one in Clearwater City, he could leave it there or find an opportunity to destroy it.

Without a high-energy battery, that thing was just scrap metal.

At this moment, he instructed POD to monitor the surroundings and began learning.

In an instant, Shen Xing clearly felt the profound pattern, carrying endless flames, surging towards him continuously. Even the pattern itself seemed to undergo some special changes.

Once, twice.

Under the effect of the learning device, the entire pattern, along with its special intent, was completely imprinted into Shen Xing’s Divine Soul.

When he finally opened his eyes again, there seemed to be a flash of flame in his pupils.

“How could it be like this?” he murmured, raising his hand and staring at his palm in a daze.

He quickly climbed out of the learning pod, looked at the training room in front of him, swallowed a Jade Ginseng Pill, opened his palm, and tried to control the Yuan Qi to condense and form the inscription in front of his palm, while also infusing his newly acquired “Martial Path Intent”.

He could clearly feel that the Yuan Qi was undergoing some special changes.

Until the moment the inscription was completed.

Boom—!

A ball of scorching flames directly exploded in front of his palm. The sweeping gust of wind carrying the expanding heat blew through his hair, but it couldn’t change the joy on his face.

“It’s amazing!”

Even though Shen Xing had already witnessed the wonders of Martial Path Intents, he never imagined that they could be used in this way.

This was no longer a martial technique.

It was clearly a spell!

In the Human Federation, he had never heard of a Martial Path Intent with this kind of style!

“Could this kind of inscription be a system unique to this world?” Shen Xing felt his heart pounding rapidly.
