Chapter Nineteen Preparations (Third Update)

  With a hundred thousand taels of white silver in his bosom, although he still moved as slowly as usual, Wu Ming inside the hood was overjoyed.

  It was so easy to earn 100,000 taels, and after deducting the 10,000 taels borrowed from Old Man Xu as costs, he had actually earned 90,000 taels of pure silver.

  When they walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, Wu Ming finally removed his disguise and transformed back into that unremarkable little servant, directly entering the Xuantian Mountain. In fact, for him, working in this Scripture Pavilion was really too leisurely, and he also had enough time to ponder the martial arts mental methods.

  It's true, in the next dozen or so days, Wu Ming advanced another level, and his internal strength reached the 9th Heaven of the Post-Heavenly stage. This speed was so fast that even Shi Jingxuan, that talented beauty, would be left speechless if she knew about it. She spent three years laying the foundation during her Body Tempering period, and then took four or five years to cultivate from the 1st Heaven of the Post-Heavenly stage to the 9th Heaven. When breaking through the Pre-Heavenly boundary, she was stuck for nearly two years before finally breaking through recently. And yet, she's still known as one of the few geniuses in the Xuantian Sect!

  What can Wu Ming do? The foundation is extremely poor, so poor that people have long predicted that it is impossible to cultivate true energy. But who would have thought that this guy, in just two months' time, or a little over three months if you include the time spent on the martial arts stage, has actually cultivated to the current level of Post-Heaven Ninth Heaven?

  This speed is probably not enough to be described as monstrous, right?

  But in fact, this is the perverted place of Jiuyang Zhenjing, a pseudo-divine level technique. It almost ignores those so-called bottlenecks and can even slowly improve the foundation a bit.

  But then again, it's said that even the top sects only have Heaven-level techniques, and Divine-level techniques are just a myth, never appearing in nearly a thousand years. This is also why Xuantian Sect can still mix with the three major forces of Jingzhou despite having only Earth-level superior techniques, although Jingzhou is far from the Central Plains and its martial arts are somewhat backward, it's normal, but this also reveals some things from the side.

  Of course, Wu Ming couldn't just let these things slide by. This world is vast, no less so than the martial arts world, it's just that nothing big has happened yet, and it's been too peaceful. It's like when I used to play martial arts games before, I remember when the player rankings came out, the top ten were all above level 90, I thought those players must have reached the highest level of the game already. But who knew that the BOSSes that appeared later would be so powerful, even though their levels weren't much different, they could still instantly kill those top-level players. And this is also what makes this game so attractive, when you think there's no excitement left, it tells you that there are always people outside of your world, and mountains beyond the mountains...

  Now, isn't it? The world of martial arts is also calm now. At the beginning, Tian Boguang was only in the Xiantian stage, and the strongest one was just Tie Shou. If I hadn't stirred up trouble myself, wouldn't Qing Yi Bat King still be hiding on Mount Kunlun, sunbathing and drinking human blood? Wouldn't Zhang Wuji still be practicing the Nine Yang Scripture in that cave?

  Others aren't fools, what's the point of showing off when you're already full? Being low-key is the way to survive!

  Can't help but say, Wu Ming's understanding of these is quite thorough. He didn't think about doing anything showy either, just thinking about quickly improving his strength, so that in the future he won't regret having a very showy thing in front of him, but not having the strength to be showy...

  But that's getting off track, let's get back to the point.

  From going down the mountain to finding a place to sell elixirs, and then back up the mountain. It may seem like just a few simple words, but it took Wu Ming half a day to accomplish this. However, for now, this development form is not bad.

  It happens once a month, and it's not very eye-catching. In this way, on the one hand, it is low-key, and on the other hand, there are plenty of silver coins to spend on oneself. After all, that system really has a pit in this regard. Exchanging anything requires silver coins. Don't others have task rewards? You actually cancelled it directly? Are they all exchanged now? I don't know if killing monsters will still drop equipment and secret recipes or not.

  Wu Ming shook his head, thinking that with 100,000 taels of silver, he first took out 20,000 taels and exchanged them for 10% of the cultivation experience of the Dragon Subduing God Leg. By now, the cultivation experience of the Dragon Subduing God Leg had already reached 21%. Yes, that's right, in these twenty or so days, Wu Ming's deductions only increased his proficiency by 1%, and he didn't even have time to cultivate the Thirty-six Routes Heaven Defying Palm. However, looking at what was to come, Wu Ming felt a bit unsettled, exchanging another 10% would cost him 200,000 taels of silver... If he were to exchange all of it, he feared that he would really become a bankrupt merchant!

  After exchanging the Dragon God Leg, Wu Ming immediately spent another 2,000 taels to exchange for 10% of the Undouble Finger's cultivation experience. The last thing he exchanged was the cultivation experience of the Sacred Spirit Sword Technique, and 10% cost 50,000 taels of silver. A divine sword technique is indeed so powerful!

  Actually, these techniques also have their differences. Sword techniques are honed through practice and once mastered, they're more or less set. On the other hand, techniques like Dragon Subduing Kick and Unparalleled Divine Finger require massive amounts of true energy to support them. This was also figured out later on, after all, within the Mystic Heaven Sect, hiding one's cultivation of heavenly-level martial skills would be easily discovered.

  When Wu Ming first started practicing, he wasn't very clear about it either. He thought that just like playing a game, once you got it, you could practice and the power would depend on your own level. But who knew that later on, when there was nothing to do, he would start deducing, and after deducing for a while, he felt that this leg technique's power was off the charts, worthy of being a top-grade martial skill. However, after deducing for a long time, he suddenly thought, with just his own bit of true energy, could he withstand that mountain-moving, sea-inverting big move?

  Can't help but say, this is indeed a problem. When he thought of this, Wu Ming felt a chill on his back. Is it said that the two thousand taels of silver he had were just wasted? Laozi hadn't even practiced the Thirty-six Heavenly Gates Palm, you bastard, isn't this purely deceiving your father? In fact, when it comes to saying it, Wu Ming had only just crossed over and didn't have much experience in martial arts. This was common sense for others, but he had actually neglected it.

  But now it's fine, with some money in hand, and even exchanged for 10% of the peerless divine finger's cultivation experience. After this exchange, Wu Ming found that he didn't have much money left in his hands, only 28,000, which was all reserved as capital.

  Afterwards, Wu Ming once again buried himself in the Scripture Pavilion. Those cultivation techniques and martial skills were all beneath him, but when it came to alchemy books, his interest was piqued, and he wished he could take them all back to study every single word.

  In my free time, I secretly practiced the Holy Spirit Sword Technique. Now I've only grasped about 10% of it, which is just three moves: Sword One, Sword Two, and Sword Three. And even Sword Three is a bit forced. Later, thinking that entering the martial arts world might lead to pursuit and killing, I exchanged some elixirs: three Qi Gathering Pills, three Low-Level Antidote Pills, one bottle of Golden Healing Medicine, etc.

  It's just so low-key, and suddenly another month has passed, and in an instant it's already the end of August.

  It's time to get paid and also a good time for traveling!

  Took the salary back, opened the martial arts space, and slipped in first. Taking advantage of the remaining time, he also took out his own information and took a look.
