Ji Xinghuo did not imdiately sell the Alien Species, but first found a nearby inn to stay in.
Though it was called an inn, it was more luxurious than most hotels on Earth, resembling a spire with dozens of stories. The ground was spotless, and the walls and ceilings were made of large, intact crystals, adorned with the aesthetic style of the Crystal Elite Clan.
Opulent and brightly luxurious.
This building was also an official property of Eternal Day City, leased to Alien Races.
Most properties in the city followed this model.
The hotel’s managent was a group of Dan people, whose service quality was hardly inferior to that of Earth’s hotels, as each person had undergone professional training.
As soon as Ji Xinghuo entered the hotel lobby, the Dan service staff warmly greeted him.
When they saw the Eternal Day Badge on Ji Xinghuo’s chest, they imdiately switched to a senior manager, who, along with a team of three, took special care of Ji Xinghuo.
Ji Xinghuo was always rather aloof.
However, he was generous, booking a suite and even giving the staff a tip.
After settling into the suite, Ji Xinghuo asked the servers to leave, and after washing up and making sure there was no possibility of being spied on, he took out the large collection of Alien Species from his Dinsion Stomach to sort and pack them into several leather bags.
He slept in the hotel for one night.
The night in Eternal Day City was no different from the day, living up to its na; the city had no night.
During the day, the highland scenery outside the city and the distant mountains could be seen, which sowhat diminished the mysterious atmosphere prevalent at night, but the city still shimred with dazzling light, where crystal structures sparkled under the sun, resembling a terrestrial paradise.
Carrying the leather bags, Ji Xinghuo left the inn and entered the Alien Species store he had visited the day before.
Not long after.
When he ca out, most of the Alien Species in the leather bags had been exchanged for True Dragon Coins, totaling over 800,000, equivalent to more than 300 million Ya Yuan on Earth.
However, most of the Alien Species he sold were below the Transcendent Level.
Of the Transcendent Level, he only sold three Basalt Bodies and still had three left. Two Earth Pulses, Myriad Spirit Limbs, Ice Sealed Absolute Prison, Limb Regeneration, Winged Man Feather, Rubber Body, and so other rare Superior Mutants were all retained by Ji Xinghuo.
When money was not an issue, Alien Species were always more valuable than money.
Back in his room at the inn, Ji Xinghuo took an inventory of his assets.
True Dragon Coins amounting to 1,240,000, 67 Ether Crystals, 10 Red Emperor Blood Crystals, ten Transcendent Species; three Superpower Three Stars weapons: Spirit Sword Bracelet, Demon Sound, and Sky Fury Green Blood Spear; three Superpower Two Stars weapons: Lei Chi, Invisible Stab, and Ice Veiner’s Axe; Stealth Ring and Acceleration Ring.
In addition, there were several Superpower One Star weapons and equipnt, all spoils of war, which he had not sold yet.
"That’s a lot!"
After taking inventory, Ji Xinghuo realized, he had unwittingly accumulated such a substantial wealth.
Just the over one million True Dragon Coins alone could be exchanged for over five hundred million Ya Yuan, enough to pay back what he owed Man Ying. If all his other possessions were converted to Ya Yuan, his total wealth could easily surpass 60 billion! Of course, many were treasures that money couldn’t buy, which only a fool would sell.
Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo understood what Ren Mian had once said.
"When money reaches a certain level, you’ll find that many things you want can’t be bought. As your Rank increases, money becos less useful."
"For , money has already beco relatively aningless."
"Barter is the right way."
"Even Ether Crystals, this universal hard currency of the Milky Way and the Star Realm, may not co in handy at crucial tis."
Ji Xinghuo went out again.
Eternal Day City, one of the two largest cities in the Bloody Plateau and located in the center of the highland, ensured its safety with the formidable power of the Crystal Elite Clan. The city saw a large influx of Alien Races bringing treasures daily, making it a true trade city of the highland.
He wanted to wander the city and see if he could find the Alien Species he desired.
For the professional template of Magnetic Field Madman, he still lacked two Abilities, "Overload" and "Superconducting Permanent Magnet." After fusing these, not only would the template be complete, but he could also advance to Electromagnetic Dominator!
Besides, he also needed to consider the even longer path of evolution.
After the template is complete, he would certainly continue fusing Alien Species, and how to choose would depend entirely on his own exploration to find Alien Species suitable for himself.
Generally, there are two directions.
First is "Supermodel," that is, on the basis of a complete template, attempt to fuse matching Alien Species to enhance one’s inherent abilities.
Second is "Dual Professions," which ans choosing another professional template to compensate for weaknesses or complent Abilities, advancing yet again.
"Dual Professions" is more common than "Supermodel" and is the choice of most Mutants.
In this regard, Ji Xinghuo had not yet decided.
However, he was more inclined towards "Supermodel" because he was inherently a Mutant with no profession.
Although the Magnetic Field Madman had several advancent directions, such as dual professioning as Evil Wind Guest to beco "Storm Lord," adding Martial Artist to beco "Magnetic Storm Martial Saint," pairing with Iron Guard to form "Thunder General," or going in the direction of Thunder Electric chanic and so on, these advanced professions were not as desirable as the Electromagnetic Dominator.
There was one exceptionally rare advancent direction where the Magnetic Field Madman dual professions as a Crystal Light Servant would advance to "Electric Light Apostle."
This advanced profession ranked just below Electromagnetic Dominator.
Ji Xinghuo was quite interested, but considering that the Abilities of a Crystal Light Servant were very rare and the professional template required seven Abilities, the advancent difficulty was too great.
Ren Mian was a Crystal Light Servant, and she had not completed her professional template yet.
"Let’s just take it one step at a ti," Ji Xinghuo said.
"We’ll see what kind of Alien Species I can get and decide from there."
Ji Xinghuo had visited several Alien Species stores in the city, so owned by the official industries of Eternal Day City and others by different Alien Races. He was not disappointed as each store had Transcendent Species for sale. Although there were no Overload or Superconducting Permanent Magnets, he found two quite impressive Species and bought them.
One was the "True Spirit Fugue," a Transcendent Ability that could endow an illusion with a physical form, possessing both offensive and defensive powers and easily manipulated from a distance.
For Mutants like the Illusion Sound Master or Phantom Assassin who mastered illusion powers, this Ability was incredibly powerful and could greatly enhance their strength.
Ji Xinghuo planned to give it to Jing Ji to fulfill his promise.
The other was "Night Demon," one of the most desired Species among Demon Refiners. It could transform into a very powerful Dark Matter Demon known as "Night Demon," featuring balanced strength, defense, and speed along with the abilities of flying and wielding Dark Intense Fla. Once transford, strength would surge trendously.
This was for Jiangnan Caiyi.
Ji Xinghuo also bought several Superior Mutants, all of which were quite rare and hard to find on Earth.
Though he had no use for them himself, his family and friends might need them soday.
With these six or seven Species, Ji Xinghuo spent over 400,000 True Dragon Coins but felt it was well worth it; plus, the joy of shopping lifted his spirits.
"There’s another one."
He saw another Alien Species store ahead, quite large, and imdiately went in.
The owner of the store turned out to be from the True Dragon Race. The interior was adorned with dragon designs, showcasing an extraordinary origin, and the staff dressed in the style of the True Dragon Dynasty, making the custors sowhat reserved and polite.
The employees noticed Ji Xinghuo was a Highlander and paid him little attention.
Ji Xinghuo was pleased with this and browsed at his leisure.
He was not interested in any Species below Superior, generally only looking at Superior and Transcendent Species. Just as he was halfway through the store, he saw a few custors gathered around a counter, whispering over a Species displayed in a transparent showcase.
Two True Dragon Guards were also guarding the Species nearby.
Ji Xinghuo went closer.
With just one glance, his interest peaked trendously.
The Species was familiar in appearance; it was the size of a fingertip, a white crystal with an irregular oval shape, emitting a faint glow.
"Ether Sensitivity!"
Ji Xinghuo imdiately recognized it, an upgradable species of Ether Sensitivity which he rembered vividly.
"It’s not Ether Sensitivity, it’s actually Ether Affinity!"
As he read the introduction on the showcase, which stated it was a Transcendent Species "Ether Affinity" priced at 350,000 True Dragon Coins or 8 Ether Crystals.
"It must be real Ether Affinity."
This was Ji Xinghuo’s first encounter with an Ether Affinity Species, and he could affirm that it was upgradable. The form of this Species was almost identical to that of Ether Sensitivity with which he had rged initially, only much larger, likely an advanced form.
"A bit pricey," he assessed internally, but understood why.
The Ether Sensitivity series of Abilities, compatible with all Professional Templates regardless of Race or evolutionary direction, were highly coveted. They augnted the speed of Cultivation, accelerated the recovery rate of Star Power, and increased the upper limit of Star Power—too many benefits to count.
350,000 True Dragon Coins, close to 160 million Ya Yuan, were definitely a premium price for a Transcendent Species, which explained why the other custors were still considering.
But this particular Ether Affinity was different.
It was upgradable!
To others, any Ether Affinity might seem the sa, but for Ji Xinghuo, even if the price were twice as high, it would still be acceptable.
Without any hesitation, he said, "I’ll buy this Species."
The surrounding custors imdiately shifted their gaze toward him.
Seeing a Highlander and follower of the Red Emperor, with an Eternal Day Badge pinned to his chest, most instinctively took a step back, not wanting to provoke this formidable Blood Madman.
"Honored guest, please follow ," the previously indifferent employee imdiately switched to a smile and invited Ji Xinghuo into the VIP transaction room.
There, Ji Xinghuo t the True Dragon Race store manager.
Without wanting to engage in idle chatter, he directly paid 35 True Dragon Coins, each valued at 10,000, and acquired the Ether Affinity Species.
Holding the Species in his hand, the interface information popped up before Ji Xinghuo’s eyes.
[Species: Ether Affinity]
[Grade: Transcendent]
[Fusion Success Rate: 100%]
[Can Be Upgraded: Yes]
Ji Xinghuo looked at the "Yes," feeling secretly thrilled.
Indeed, this wasn’t just any Ether Affinity, but an upgradable one. Having used the Star Tears previously, he had another opportunity to rge with a Species, but with no plans for secluded Cultivation soon, he decided not to rge with Ether Affinity just yet and would play it by ear instead.
