Once I reach the pinnacle of Inner Breath like Tide, I can naturally progress to Inner Strength.”
Having packed his belongings and put on a douli and veil to conceal his features, An Jing prepared to leave the Black Market lodging, “But there’s no ti.
Let’s see if there’s any external force in this world that I can borrow.”
Before leaving, he passed by a wooden dummy and noticed the sharp marks of chopping on it.
A thought struck him, and he summoned the energy from his dantian with a surge, suddenly unleashing a punch straight at the dummy’s head.
Taibai Fiend Qi moved in accord with his will, rushing to his right arm.
As he threw the punch, his entire arm faintly glowed with a pale silver light, like that of tal.
Bang!!!!
A short, muffled sound echoed as the head of the wooden dummy, carved from ironwood, instantly vanished, and a completely hollowed-out bowl-shaped piece of wood, with its rim shattered bit by bit, embedded itself in the room’s wall.
At the neck of the wooden dummy, there was a smooth and sharp cut as if left by a sword, but the punch mark in the center of the dummy’s head was extrely clear.
“Huff…”
An Jing exhaled softly, feeling a tingling sensation in his right arm, like the refreshing yet stimulating pain after applying nthol oil.
Such a ferocious burst of energy, even with the Fate Pattern of the Seven Fiend, could cause so damage, albeit not serious, and would not affect his combat ability.
At most, he would feel weakened for a while after using up his Spiritual Power.
This was due to his physical quality not being up to standard; as long as he enhanced his Essence Qi cultivation to ‘Essence Qi like Tide,’ he wouldn’t harm himself.
However, now, observing the destruction he caused on a whim, he couldn’t help feeling pleased, “With such power, it’s comparable to a flying sword from a Sword Box!
In the future, I can use the Icefall Rifle and Sword Box from afar to harass and shoot enemies.
When they think I can only show off with Magic Artifacts and carelessly get close, I’ll give them a fierce punch!”
The initial access to Evil Qi and the destructive power generated by the First Prohibition were entirely different; the forr was large but improperly directed, sowhat scattered, while the latter was condensed and sharp like a blade.
“Sir?”
An employee’s voice ca from outside the door with confusion, “We heard a strange noise, is everything okay?”
“It’s nothing.”
An Jing opened the door, apologizing slightly, “I was testing my strength, and I accidentally damaged the wooden dummy and the wall.
How much do I owe in damages?
I’ll pay.”
The white-clad service staff outside the room bowed respectfully yet cautiously, “No, no, the damage to the wooden dummy is already accounted for in the room charge, and as for the damage to the wall…
Mount Xiao Zhe said if any items are damaged, it should be charged to their account.”
“That’s so generous?” An Jing was sowhat surprised, knowing for sure that it must have been a tidy profit for the manager, but he couldn’t help but remark, “I didn’t expect the shops in the Black Market to be so kind-hearted.”
“Sir, service cos first, reputation is paramount,” the employee straightened up and proudly declared, “If our custors are not satisfied, not reassured, then how would we have repeat business, new custors, and how would we continue to do business?”
“Is the guest planning to extend their stay, or continue shopping?
Please check your belongings to ensure you don’t leave any vital items in the room.”
“Shopping,” An Jing asked, “I want to buy so weapons, and…
sothing like a reconnaissance drone.
But I’m not familiar with the place.”
“Please follow this guide here.” The employee took out a round, golden tallic ball from a small box at his waist, activated it, and the ball lit up with Spiritual Patterns before floating up and moving in front of An Jing, “This is our guiding assistant.
It will take you to wherever you want to go.”
“Okay,” An Jing observed the golden ball with so surprise.
If the puppetry and chanical technology in the Tianyuan Realm had reached this extent, then the reconnaissance drone he wanted to buy might not be that large, and carrying it would be far more convenient than he had imagined!
This was good news, so he contentedly followed the golden ball towards the shopping area.
The employee watched An Jing leave, then entered the room to assess any damage.
“It’s pretty clean, though.” After a quick look around, the employee uttered a surprised sound.
An Jing had been cultivating on the Liuli Platform all day, occasionally reading, and otherwise sleeping.
Before leaving, he had tidied up, so the room was quite clean.
But when his eyes fell upon the heavily damaged wooden dummy, he could not help but widen his eyes in astonishnt, “It was beaten into this shape?”
He hurried to the dummy’s side to take a closer look, and instantly noticed many details, “This…
is a quite pure Five tals Qi, both quantity and purity are quite high.”
“A burst of energy, causing such damage with bare hands…
What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?”
The employee took a step back, frowning slightly, “A young man from the Wilderness with Qi Refinent strength, could he be a prodigy from a major tribe?”
He didn’t think too much of it, as there were many individuals with such strength in the Black Market, but he was surprised because he saw how young An Jing was.
Though he had concealed his features, he couldn’t be more than fifteen or sixteen, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced was also quite rare.
A Qi Refinent practitioner at the age of fifteen or sixteen with such pure Spirit Qi was a genius among geniuses.
Qi Refinent in Tianyuan Realm is difficult.
In their Xuanye City, if one has Qi Refinent abilities during the middle school examinations, they can be exempt from the entrance exam and directly enter a key high school.
Most people can’t even accomplish Qi Refinent by the ti of the imperial selection exams.
Whether one has undergone Qi Refinent is precisely the dividing line for entry into the various colleges.
And during the first imperial selection exam, having a cultivation of Qi Refinent at the sixth level, one can even be recomnded for admission to the four major Daoist Academies, and what’s more, they would be key disciples targeted for intensive cultivation.
With the talent that An Jing has now revealed, it’s almost certain that he will advance to the Daoist Academy in the future, and afterward, whether he joins a large conglorate or the military departnt, it will be a breeze for him.
Thinking it over, a glimr of light flickered in the waiter’s eyes, the chip transmitted, and he inford the Black Market managent of this news.
The managent quickly responded.
“Where there is a first, there will be a second; we cannot entertain delusional thoughts.
We do not follow the rules of consortiums, but we must uphold our own.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be lawless?”
“The tribal power that is capable of nurturing such a talent is definitely not small.
Treat this situation well, establish a trust relationship, and do not track or investigate; if he needs to, he will take the initiative to contact us.
This exposure of his cultivation technique is a test.”
“Rember, service cos first, reputation is the foremost.”
“Understood.”
Upon hearing the instruction, the waiter imdiately responded with utmost respect, “I will make note in the ledger and wait for the next cooperation opportunity.”
“You know, the first strike mark is fine, but the punch you threw when leaving might reveal clues to the observant, attracting attention.
They can tell that your cultivation technique is advanced and your Spirit Qi is refined; the heritage is extraordinary.”
As An Jing followed the little helper towards the Black Market shop area, the Sword Spirit slowly said in the young man’s heart, “You want to attract attention, which might bring opportunities, or might yield nothing.
But it’s also more likely that it will draw people’s attention, stirring greedy desires.”
“Why take the risk?
“Because I have the ability to take risks, but not the luxury of playing it safe,” An Jing calmly explained in his heart.
He followed the little helper, heading towards the brighter shopping district: “A cautious developnt?
Do I have the ti for that?
After all, I’m just a minor cultivator; even if I reveal a higher-level cultivation technique, they also know they can’t obtain anything more advanced than Qi Refinent from .”
“Given that, they will have to consider what sort of force is behind that possesses such an ‘advanced heritage’.”
“Even if they are blinded by greed, they won’t make a big fuss over in their own Black Market; it’s far more likely they will take action after I leave the market.
By then, you and I will have already bought enough weapons and can return to Embracing the Void at any mont.”
“If I can’t survive the Demon Calamity, then I will die in Embracing the Void.
If I can escape the pursuit of the Evil Born Demons and the Demon Sect, then I still have a chance to return to Tianyuan…
and by that ti, my strength will surely have increased, and I can change my outfit, disguise myself as another person—I can easily switch to another type of Spirit Qi fluctuation.”
“Therefore, if the Black Market had intended to act against , I would be able to dodge them.
But if they wished to recruit , to form a connection with , then why not accept it?
I can leave at any ti without paying any price, so why be timid and hesitant to take action?”
“In that case, it’s better to be more high-profile, to look for more opportunities.
After all, whether it’s the junkyard owner or the supervisor of Mount Xiao Zhe, they both mistook for a wilderness genius.
Then that’s who I’ll be.”
“If they want to draw in, to invest in , I will definitely not let them suffer any loss.”
“Since it doesn’t matter either way, there’s no harm in trying.”
An Jing said with a calm smile, but the Sword Spirit knew that he was excited.
This youth, who had awakened his Fate Pattern and managed to escape the Demon Sect and kill the Manor Master, always doing what he wanted without ever boasting, was surging with an unnad power, determined to accomplish sothing, to achieve sothing.
He refuses to passively wait for coincidences to happen; he wants to create his own opportunities.
He will not let himself waste ti day by day; every single second counts.
Was it the Seven Fiend that led to this personality, or was it that only such a personality could awaken the Seven Fiend?
“You are the sword wielder.” Therefore, the Subdue Evil’s Sword Spirit also rarely showed a smile: “Since you have a preconceived plan and are not acting impulsively, then go ahead with it.”
At this mont, following the little helper, An Jing once again arrived at the shop district.
Compared to the dimr glow of Mount Xiao Zhe’s free trade layer, countless weapons and Five tals Qi rushed forth, even giving one the false impression of needing to take a step back.
They had arrived at the ‘Arms Preparation Area.’
