Yu Zhibo recalled Mo Yu transforming into a white fox, exuding nobility, sanctity, beauty, and charm. He couldn't help but deeply suspect if the celestial fox mentioned by the system was of the same species as Mo Yu's white fox form.
Lost in thought, he suddenly remembered the scene from yesterday when Mo Yu was upgrading within his pure land space, and the dark energy outside the pure land's light shield suddenly receded.
If it weren't for the sudden dissipation of the mist outside the light shield, his pure land space wouldn't have had the opportunity to expand. Could all of this have been a deliberate manipulation by the consciousness within the World Heart fragment?
Was it trying to protect Mo Yu during her upgrade?
If that were true, what kind of connection did Mo Yu have with the consciousness within the World Heart fragment?
Yu Zhibo became increasingly perplexed, vaguely realizing he might have stumbled upon some forbidden truth. However, the limited information he possessed was insufficient to confirm his conjecture.
Shaking his head, Yu Zhibo decided against spending his hard-earned 3 billion emotional points to restore an unknown entity. If that entity recovered and then competed with him for control of the World Heart fragment, he would not only lose his 3 billion emotional points but also gain a formidable enemy out of nowhere. He would have nowhere to turn to cry then.
A-class, Divine Rank, level 70. This was a being rumored to be a national pillar. There were very few such individuals in the entire Xia Nation. Even if the other party had only recovered some consciousness, it would undoubtedly trigger numerous changes, and he was unwilling to take such a risk.
With that thought, Yu Zhibo temporarily put the matter aside and withdrew his consciousness from his mind.
"Husband, keep it up~"
In the master bedroom, the earth was still shaking, and dragons and phoenixes were in harmony.
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but feel a bit speechless about this. His old man was truly still vigorous. The duration he was maintaining now was even longer than what Yu Zhibo had seen when he was 10 years old, sneaking into his parents' bedroom with his sister to spy on them.
The primary reason for this was that he had bought too many extraordinary tonics that ordinary people could absorb. After his parents absorbed them, they began to reverse their aging, becoming younger and healthier.
Shaking his head, Yu Zhibo ultimately did not disturb them. He directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his own residence at the Ningcheng Branch Bureau.
Developing new ninjutsu was being handled by a clone; live streaming was also being done by a clone; the number of times he could cultivate Body Tempering Techniques had also been used up. For a moment, Yu Zhibo found himself feeling rather bored.
"Oh, right, there are still A-class entities invading the coastal defense line. I haven't sent a clone to grind monsters there yet!" With this thought, Yu Zhibo created two more clones and sent them to the coastal defense line.
Then he continued to be bored.
His mobile phone had returned to his hand, and his steady clone had already discussed with Old Liu the blacksmith about forging the numerous Ninja Love Swords and the eight short swords for the Eight-Sword Style. Besides using up all the remaining black gold ore, it required an 8 million processing fee.
Of his remaining over 3 million, he had already put down 3 million as a deposit. Currently, he had about 190,000 merit points left.
Yu Zhibo summoned his steady clone again and sent it to the training ground to continue developing new ninjutsu, while he himself began browsing the app store.
"If only there were more divine beast blood!" Yu Zhibo thought of the significant boost the Xuanli Blood given by Li Dao had provided to his body. His heart stirred, and he clicked to open the materials section of the store, hoping to find other divine beast blood.
As a result, in the store's advanced blood section, apart from the blood of A-class sea beasts and demonic beasts, there was no so-called divine beast blood. Moreover, this blood was highly volatile and was mostly used for refining artifacts, drawing talismans, and alchemy. None of it could be directly absorbed by the human body.
After some thought, Yu Zhibo spent 50,000 merit points to buy a drop of sea beast blood, wanting to see if it had any effect.
Next, he browsed the cultivation technique section, looking for any incredibly powerful body refining techniques. To his surprise, he found a technique called "Divine Demonic Body Refining Manual," which cost 20 million merit points.
According to the description of the cultivation technique, in the initial stages of cultivation, it primarily consumed Yin and Yang Qi, as well as light and dark spiritual energy to temper and refine the physical body. Upon reaching A-class, it would switch to using immortal Qi and demonic Qi for cultivation. It was said that if cultivated to a profound level, it could not only greatly enhance physical strength but also allow for regeneration from a single drop of blood, achieving immortality. However, the cultivation conditions were extremely harsh, requiring perfect fusion of immortal Qi and demonic Qi within the body. Any slight carelessness could lead to death, with an extremely high risk.
"But I have the system!" Yu Zhibo was overjoyed, regretting not seeing this cultivation technique before forging the Thunder Yang Blade. Just as he considered purchasing and cultivating it, a system prompt appeared:
"Please do not exploit bugs! This cultivation technique conflicts with the host's sequence core. Please trigger more major events, activate main quests, and upon completion, you will have a chance to obtain the Immortal Body, which will also grant a powerful physique!"
"Note: The host's current sequence is the Naruto sequence, which includes the skill 'All Things Manifest.' The host cannot cultivate traditional Daoist or demonic cultivation techniques outside of the sequence, nor can they consume various bloodline pills, with the exception of pills refined from divine beast blood!"
Unfortunately, after reading the system's prompt, Yu Zhibo showed a look of regret. He then curiously asked, "Then why can I cultivate Body Tempering Techniques?"
The system replied: "Body Tempering Techniques are extension techniques of the Xia Nation's ancient martial arts system, which develop the physical body and do not alter the host's genes from the root. Therefore, they can be learned!"
"Alright!" Yu Zhibo was somewhat helpless and then continued browsing the pill section.
The pill section also had a wide variety of items. At the forefront were various high-grade pills refined from the blood and origin power of A-class creatures, with frighteningly high prices. Most of them could only be used after reaching A-class, so Yu Zhibo glanced at them and moved on.
Then came the mainstream Spirit Replenishing Liquid, Spirit Replenishing Pills, Advanced Spirit Replenishing Pills, and Super Advanced Spirit Replenishing Pills! As well as Blood Replenishing Liquid, Blood Replenishing Pills, Advanced Blood Replenishing Pills, and Super Advanced Blood Replenishing Pills, specifically for replenishing blood and mana.
In addition, there were not many body refining pills. Apart from some pills that increased cell activity, the effects of others were not as good as Body Tempering Techniques, and they also came with numerous side effects, making them quite low in cost-effectiveness. The slightly stronger ones were those that fused with the blood of various exotic beasts, and consuming them could alter genes.
These were refined with the blood of exotic beasts as the main ingredient. After consuming them, one could gain a portion of the exotic beast's bloodline. Among them, the best-selling was the Demonic Lizard Pill, which was refined with the blood of a demonic lizard as the main ingredient. Consuming it would grant a trace of the demonic lizard's bloodline power, allowing one to condense demonic lizard skin and enhance defense. These were also prohibited by the system because consuming them would cause gene mutations, potentially making it impossible to learn skills from the Naruto sequence.
"So I can only absorb divine beast blood?" Yu Zhibo felt a bit disappointed. Divine beast blood was incredibly difficult to find. Obtaining a single drop was a stroke of immense luck, and it was given to him by Li Dao out of gratitude for saving his sister.
What exactly was Li Dao's identity? To give away divine beast blood so readily? It was only now that Yu Zhibo increasingly understood the preciousness of divine beast blood and became even more curious about Li Dao's identity.
As he thought, he continued to browse the store, and a pill caught his attention:
[Regeneration Pill: Priced at 20 million merit points. It has the effect of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bone. After consumption, severed limbs can be regenerated, and wounded bodies can be rapidly restored to perfection! This pill was made by Wang Shouyi, a master alchemist of the Xia Nation and Deputy Director of the Shenhua Bureau, using various precious medicinal materials from another world. The source world of these medicinal materials has been destroyed, so each one consumed is one less. Current quantity: 32 pills.]
"It's really damn expensive!" Yu Zhibo shook his head. Since his cultivation level had increased, he had encountered more and more extraordinary information. He had learned something about Wang Shouyi, the Deputy Director of the Shenhua Bureau. He heard that he was a powerful individual with double pupils who had reached Divine Rank 99, making him terrifyingly strong. In a world where Earth's space was fragile and could not accommodate the actions of Dao Saints, he was the highest-end combat power in the entire Xia Nation.
He didn't expect that besides being powerful, he also possessed such profound attainments in alchemy. Truly a versatile talent.
Just as he was browsing the store, the Shenhua app chimed. It was the merit points earned by his clone from killing sea beasts on the coastal defense line being credited.
A total of 28.2 million merit points.
Thus, Yu Zhibo began to buy a large quantity of one-time talismans from the store again, such as invisibility talismans, sword talismans, and Vermilion Bird protective talismans. These one-time talismans could be used without consuming any mental or spiritual energy, simply by crushing them, making them very convenient.
Then there were the B-class dark energy magic crystals. Yu Zhibo directly spent 10 million merit points to buy nearly a thousand of them, planning to store them in his space and refine them into light energy spiritual crystals day and night. This way, he would never have to worry about spiritual energy again; he could replenish it instantly with a mere thought.
After completing all this, Yu Zhibo began to meditate and cultivate, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air and slowly transforming his physical body.
Time flowed by quietly in this manner, and in the blink of an eye, it was November 26th.
During this period, Yu Zhibo tempered his body and meditated daily. As his physical body continuously strengthened, his progress towards reaching B-class accelerated. On this day, the spiritual energy sphere within his body was infinitely close to complete solidification, just one step away from B-class.
The acquisition of emotional points had also reached around 8 billion. The number of people who had directly awakened or become awakened seeds due to his live streams had reached nearly 180,000.
It was also under these circumstances that the immortal Qi vortexes above the Xia Nation began to increase, affecting foreign countries and triggering a stronger wave of sea beast outbreaks.
As immortal Qi continuously permeated and integrated into the real world, the spatial stability of the entire Earth gradually increased, and the strength of spatial wormholes reached a point where individuals below A-class, Rank 1, could enter.
Then, corresponding to the immortal Qi vortexes, demonic Qi vortexes appeared.
And at this very moment, the system began to refresh new tasks.
[Main Quest: Immortal Qi and demonic Qi are increasingly prevalent between heaven and earth, and a large number of powerful A-class eternal night creatures are about to descend. As the future star of the Xia Nation, protecting the Xia Nation is your undeniable responsibility. Quest Content: Kill 100 A-class extraordinary creatures; Reward: Immortal Body.]
System Prompt: As immortal Qi continues to spread, the density of immortal Qi in Earth's space has reached the cultivation requirement for the "Immortal Mode" technique. This skill has been refreshed in the system store and can be clicked to learn.
