What appeared before Fang Xingjian and Ferdinand was a longsword that was completely black. Its blade was streamlined, but there were many strange holes and prints on it.
The muscular boss introduced, "This sword's Demoness' Howl. Putting aside the sword's blade, it's a high grade Empire's Divine Weapon that's comparable to the Fiery Thunderbolt. "And the most special thing about it is the 123 wind prints on its body. As long as it swings the sword quickly and slashes through the air, it'll produce a sound similar to the Demoness' Howl, causing the opponent to be frustrated or even infuriated."
As the longsword slashed through the air, sobbing sounds could be heard, as if there was a female ghost crying.
Hearing this voice, the muscular boss, Ferdinand, and even the twelve men guarding the armory furrowed their brows, feeling vaguely irritated.
However, Fang Xingjian was expressionless. His willpower was enough to easily overcome a sound technique of this level. He merely looked at the black longsword and nodded, saying, "How much?"
The muscular boss wore an elated expression and said, "Fixed price, five hundred gold."
Fang Xingjian pouted at Ferdinand and said, "I'll buy it."
Taking out the level 9 Empire's Divine Weapon, the Demoness' Howl, Ferdinand said helplessly, "You should at least offer a price."
"I don't have the time." Fang Xingjian shook his head and said, "Is there any medicinal paste or food here that can directly increase one's attributes, or even potential?"
Ferdinand grinned and said, "Of course there is, but these things are very expensive. Most of them are not even as good as you training hard on your own."
"Bring me over to take a look."
…
In front of a shop filled with the smell of medicine, an old lady with white hair and a face full of wrinkles opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. She pointed to the bottle of medicine in her hand and said, "Bones of a wind bird, eyeballs of a mountain eagle, and a secret medicine formed from 56 types of ferocious beasts — Spider Medicine. It can increase a person's reaction attribute by at most three points."
"It's useless to take it repeatedly?"
"Of course it's useless."
"How much?"
"Three thousand gold!"
Fang Xingjian nodded, "I'll buy it."
"Wait a minute …" Ferdinand had just opened his mouth when he could only hold his forehead helplessly, handing over the pawned heart to the old lady unwillingly.
…
In a shop that was covered by flowers and trees, making the entire underground tunnel look like a forest, a man wearing a headscarf and holding a puppy in his arms stared at Fang Xingjian in a daze.
After hearing his question, he looked at a stalk of herb that was emitting a faint green glow and said, "Heart Linking Grass. Each stalk can stimulate potential, but it's poisonous. You can only eat ten stalks a day at most, and it will increase your potential by 1,000 points."
Fang Xingjian asked, "Can the Netherworld Valley's antidote be neutralized?"
The adorable girl who was hugging the puppy thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be possible. But even so, eating 100 plants at most won't have any effect because the human body has already adapted and produced antibodies."
"How much for 100 stalks?"
"One thousand Gold."
"Give me 100 stalks."
Ferdinand let out a deep sigh and took out the five mortgage slips, feeling a slight heartache. He felt that each payment was like a stab to his kidney.
"Let's go, Ferdinand." Fang Xingjian grabbed the Heart Linking Grass in his hands and started eating it quickly. He then poured in the antidote that he had brought along with him.
Ever since he had been poisoned, he had developed the habit of bringing antidotes with him as if they were water.
Ferdinand said with a pained heart, "These are all hard-earned money. How can you spend it so casually?"
Fang Xingjian said, "It's not just casually. They're all things that I need."
He said to Ferdinand, "You must remember that no matter how much money you save up, it'll just be ordinary scrap metal. Money will only have value if you take it out and spend it on something meaningful."
Although Ferdinand still felt a heartache, after hearing Fang Xingjian's words, he vaguely felt that there was some logic to it.
…
In a shop that looked like a pet shop, there were all sorts of glowing rabbits, huge wolves with two heads, white tigers with wings, and many other ferocious beasts.
Fang Xingjian looked at the sexy lady boss, who was covered in tattoos and dressed in beast skin, and asked, "If I want to level up, which ferocious beast would be the fastest to buy?"
The lady boss smiled and pointed to a cage with pitch-black fur that looked like steel needles. She said, "This is the Needle Hair Technique. If you want to kill things to level up, this is the best choice. One gold coin for a hundred of them. I'll have as many as you want."
This type of rat did not have any value at all. It survived purely by relying on its ability to reproduce, which was many times stronger than ordinary rats.
However, it was also because of this that it was cheap and good. It became a type of ferocious beast that countless people would purchase to level up and gain experience.
Fang Xingjian nodded as well, "Then I'll take this."
…
In a shop that had swords, sabers, armor, medicine, small ferocious beasts, and almost everything else.
A short man looked at Fang Xingjian with a smile and asked, "Sir, what are you looking for?"
Fang Xingjian asked, "Is there anything that can fill one's stomach, replenish one's vital energy and blood, and is easy to carry around?"
"Yes, of course." The short boss walked into the shop and shouted, "Wait here."
Not long later, he came back with a small cloth bag and took out three purple pills from it. He said, "This was smuggled over from Uranlis with great difficulty. It was made by the Mages there."
Fang Xingjian picked up a pill the size of a fingernail and asked, "What is this?"
"The people there call this Magic Bean. It's made from the concentrated essence of over ten types of ferocious beasts. It's said that Mages' magic energy has also been added to it. If an ordinary person eats one, they won't need to eat for ten days. Even for martial arts practitioners like you, if they eat one, it'll be sufficient for an entire day's training."
Fang Xingjian naturally did not have enough to eat one a day. However, he still smiled and asked, "How much is this?"
Ferdinand could not hold it in any longer and said, "Xingjian, it's not like you're going on an expedition. Why are you buying this?"
Fang Xingjian did not mind and asked, "How much?"
"This is a smuggled product and there aren't many of them. However, seeing that you're so sincere, I'll sell it to you at a lower price." The short boss said, "Three gold for one."
Fang Xingjian nodded, "Give me three hundred."
Ferdinand cast a resentful glance at Fang Xingjian, but eventually handed over the mortgage under the latter's urging.
Just like that, the two of them spent a total of six hours, and the ten thousand gold coins that Ferdinand had brought with him were almost all gone.
Fang Xingjian finally got to enjoy the feeling of being rich and cultivating. It was extremely convenient.
And now, he still had a longsword — Demoness' Howl, and three hundred Magic Beans as rations. As for the rest of the money, he had already exchanged them for various items and eaten them on the spot, or killed the Needlefur Rats to level up.
He had finally reached level 19, which was the highest level for the first transition. Adding on to the results of his cultivation during this period of time, as well as the fact that his Waves had risen by another level after twenty-four hours of cultivation a few days ago, his attributes had become:
Name Fang Xingjian Age 17
Occupation Windshadow Sword Divinity
Level: Level 19
Strength 57 + 5
Agility 191 + 5
Reaction: 68
Endurance: 50
Flexibility: 52
The attributes above come into effect once the Sonido Sword Zephyr Waves is activated
Due to Perfect Muscles, + 5 in strength and agility (10% of the endurance attribute)
Nurturing Sword Techniques 94 sets
Training Sword Techniques 12 sets
Supreme Mistwind Sword Level 30
Radiant Light Sword Technique Level 18
Ether Divine Art Level 1
Genius Swordsmanship, Elementary Survival Instinct, Internal Healing, Internal Training, Sword Specialist, High Agility Motion Vision, Heightened Reflexes, Perfect Muscles, Elementary Berserkness, Unparalleled Sword Intent (95/100)
Potential 11,000 point increase/day
Waves Level 6 Sonido Sword Zephyr Waves
Mental Cultivation Method Level 3 Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar
With that, Fang Xingjian's abilities increased once again. With 196 points in agility, he could break through ten times that of supersonic speed.
His Unparalleled Sword Intent still needed another five sets of sword techniques to reach the maximum level before it would undergo a qualitative change. His Radiant Light Sword Technique was only two levels away from obtaining another special effect. Therefore, when he returned to the academy, he planned to kill his way to the Tresia Clan after his Unparalleled Sword Intent and Radiant Light Sword Technique leveled up. No matter who tried to stop him, he would chop off Kaunitz's head.
