“Martial arts manuals?”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up.
“Just like the Gene Arcana secret technique, the Arcana manuals are divided into basic, interdiate, advanced, and ultimate Arcana manuals!” the little ant said.
“Different classes of Arcana manuals bear different costs. However, they are still much cheaper than the Gene Arcana secret techniques of the sa class. The basic Arcana manuals start from one million, interdiate Arcana manuals start from ten million, advanced manuals start from a hundred million, and the ultimate manuals, a billion!
“Of course, different Arcanas have different manuals and fall into different categories: tal, wood, fire, water, and earth!”
“They are much cheaper compared to the Gene Arcana secret techniques!” Ling Jiu sighed. “May I take a look at the Earth-elent Arcana manuals?”
A table popped up on the screen, listing various basic Earth-elent Arcana manuals, complete with their titles and brief introductions.
“Let’s take a look at the first one, The Spiral Stone Spear!”
The Spiral Stone Spear: Basic Earth-elent Arcana manual. Thanks to its rapid rotation, The Spiral Stone Spear has higher penetration ability and speed. It is also two tis more lethal than ordinary stone spears!
“The Spiral Stone Spear is two tis more lethal than an ordinary stone spear. Not too bad!”
Ling Jiu scrolled down the list. Other than The Spiral Stone Spear, there was The Rapid Mudshot, The Earthen Brambles, and The Colossal Stone Hamr.
Hold on a second!
There were over 10,000 types.
These basic Earth-elent Arcana manuals had limitations; their power was two tis the strength of ordinary Arcana at most.
Following that, Ling Jiu clicked on the interdiate Earth-elent Arcana manuals.
The teor Hamr: interdiate Earth-elent Arcana manual. The hamr shoots out at high speed on a fixed trajectory, combing kinetic and potential energies so it produces four tis the lethality of an ordinary stone hamr upon impacting the target.
Brutal Stalagmite.
“Interdiate Arcana manual... Four tis the lethality of an ordinary Arcana, but bad!”
Ling Jiu continued to scroll and found that the advanced Arcana manuals had skills that were eight tis the strength of ordinary Arcana.
anwhile, the ultimate Arcana manuals contained skills that were twenty tis the strength of ordinary Arcana, but their prices were also appropriately higher—one hundred million and one billion, respectively.
“I can only afford the basic Arcana manuals. The advanced and ultimate Arcana manuals are way beyond my budget!
“It’s all about money!”
Ling Jiu let out a sigh of disappointnt. He initially thought that after he beca an Arcanist and lived in a bungalow with millions in annual pay, he could join the rich n’s club. Only now did he realize that he was still no better than he was last ti because he could only afford the most basic Arcana manuals.
“Let’s see the weaponry!”
Weaponry is categorized into cold and hot weapons. Cold weapons comprise the tal, wood, water, fire, and earth series, while hot weapons are of modern technology.
Ling Jiu clicked the Earth-elent cold weapons, which consisted of different types of earth: ordinary earth, heavy sand, solid rock, and special earthen substances.
Earth-elent cold weapons were divided into four classes: basic, interdiate, advanced, and ultimate.
“I didn’t know that earth and rock were of different classes!”
Ling Jiu clicked on the ultimate Earth-elent cold weapons, which only displayed one type: The Sands of Annihilation.
The Sands of Annihilation: a type of magical quicksand. It is not only incredibly heavy but also unbelievably tough. It is fireproof with a high lting point and can withstand extre cold. It is so far the toughest and densest sand elent on Earth.
Price: 10 billion/cubic ter.
“Ten billion for one cubic ter? Holy moly!”
Ling Jiu gasped in shock. A cubic ter of gold weighed 19.32 tons. A ton of gold was worth 270 million, which ant that 19.32 tons of gold were worth 5.2 billion.
While a cubic ter of gold was worth 5.2 billion, a cubic ter of the Sands of Annihilation was 10 billion. Who could afford sothing more expensive than gold?
That being said, this Sands of Annihilation must be terrifyingly powerful! Ling Jiu thought to himself.
The earth-type arcanist could manipulate the earth, rock, and sand. No matter how heavy these things were, it would not pose a problem to the earth-type arcanist. But it would be another story for the enemy.
Would attacking your enemy with ordinary sand be the sa as using the incredibly heavy Sands of Annihilation? The answer was a definite no.
“If I can get my hands on a few cubic ters of Sands of Annihilation, my combat strength will surely increase by several notches!”
“Stone shots, stone spears, stone hamrs, stone guns, earthen spikes, and swamps ford by the Sands of Annihilation are so much more powerful than those ford by ordinary earth and rocks!”
Ling Jiu was almost drooling. “It’s a sha that this item is too expensive. There’s no way I can afford it!”
Following that, Ling Jiu clicked on the advanced Earth-elent cold weapons. Compared with the ultimate Earth-elent cold weapon nu, which only contained one item, naly the Sands of Annihilation, the advanced Earth-elent cold weapons had over twenty types.
Osmium ore: the rare earth that contains Osmium, the densest tal in this world. This ans it is the heaviest tal. The powder ground from the Osmium rare earth is 20 tis heavier than ordinary earth.
Price: 10 million/cubic ter.
“This is still very expensive!”
“Next, Black Sand!”
Black Sand is the toughest synthetic material ever made. Sand that is ground from the black rock is tougher than diamond and 100 tis stronger than steel.
Price: 10 million/cubic ter.
After he read through the entire series of weapons, Ling Jiu’s eyes were on fire. The problem was, there was none he could afford.
“I am too broke!”
Ling Jiu wailed to himself. He then clicked on the transport nu. The mall sold all kinds of transportation. Aside from ordinary vehicles, there was another type of vehicle that caught Ling Jiu’s attention.
It was a maglev vehicle.
Thanks to the Direbeast’s invasion, the material technology of this world had beco extrely advanced. Among them, the superconductor materials were more advanced than those on Earth in his past life. Hence, the maglev vehicle technology was far more mature than anything he had seen in his past life.
Ling Jiu could not take his eyes off all of them, from the least expensive maglev motorcycles and more expensive maglev cars to the large maglev airplanes as well as ultra-luxury maglev airships.
“I can’t even afford the least expensive maglev motorcycle!” Ling Jiu whined. “It still costs at least ten million!”
Maglev motorcycle: 15 million
Maglev car: 80 million
Maglev airplane: 300 million
Maglev airship: 5 billion
It was because of the astronomical cost that these maglev vehicles had little relation to the ordinary folk, and they were rare in Lantian Base City.
Next, Ling Jiu went on to study the protective equipnt, electronic products, gourt items, dical supplies, and the treasure of Heaven and Earth.
The treasure of Heaven and Earth was basically the essence of Heaven and Earth. Each type of treasure possessed incredible uses in awakening abilities, increasing Gene Arcana absorption, physical enhancents, and soul elevation.
