Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 71: Permission Unlocked, Accumulating Foundations, Expensive Medicinal Cuisine, Spending Money Like Water
"Your brother? Director Su? Your brother is Director Su?"
"That’s right! My brother is Su Changge! How about that? Scared now?"
"Uh... just a bit surprised, that’s all!"
"By the way, the free exchange access for Lower Third Grades of Martial Arts Knowledge has been activated for you. You can study offline at the campus library or online via the Celestial Dao Network."
"Great!"
"Wanna check out the library together? Although the knowledge content is the same, the paper versions of martial arts manuals in the library carry the essence and true meaning left by Martial Arts Powerhouses. It’s more conducive to understanding and learning."
"No, I can do it myself, goodbye! Bang~"
Emmmmm...
Su Die stared at the firmly closed villa door in front of her, stomped her foot angrily, and muttered through gritted teeth.
"Damned straight man! How dare he reject a mature, beautiful woman like me!"
With that, she turned around unhappily and walked away.
On the other side, Lin Ping’an was playing with the Space Ring in his hand, not caring one bit about the commotion outside.
Women would only slow down his speed of creating techniques.
Besides, uncovering the mysteries of martial arts is far more interesting!
He turned and walked into the living room, picking up the D-level Standard Alloy Long Saber for a test run.
With a thought, his spiritual power slightly consumed, the saber vanished into thin air.
Focusing on the ring, he immediately sensed a space about two cubic meters in size, with the long saber floating right there.
Out!
With another thought, his spiritual power consumed again, the long saber appeared out of nowhere in his hand.
Not bad, pretty useful overall.
But since it requires spiritual power to retrieve and store items, it’s not that friendly to the Lower Third Grades.
Luckily, Lin Ping’an’s spiritual power was also strong. Otherwise, it would indeed feel a bit trivial.
Besides, two cubic meters isn’t that large. Most Exotic Beast corpses can’t fit; you’d have to choose the more valuable parts.
No wonder, despite its rarity, Director Su didn’t care much and offered it as an extra reward.
Causally sliding it onto his finger, Lin Ping’an didn’t play with it any further and instead opened the system’s attribute panel.
[Name: Lin Ping’an]
[Qi Blood: 18,000 calories]
[Martial Arts Realm: Third Grade Peak (Ninth Body Tempering, One-Time Bone Tempering)]
[Created Techniques: Painful Demon Body (Yellow Level), Concealing Breath Technique (Yellow Level), Stealth Technique (Profound Level), Immortal Evil Demon Body (Earth Level), Abi Dao Three Blades (Earth Level), Divine Concealment Technique (Earth Level)]
[Civilization Value: 375,890]
Ever since creating the Earth Level Technique "Divine Concealment Technique," he hadn’t used Civilization Value.
The two techniques published a couple of days ago under a pseudonym, "Abi Dao Three Blades" and "Immortal Evil Demon Body," sold quite a bit, but not many had mastered them.
The feedback was limited, so the increase in Civilization Value wasn’t much, still in a phase of gradual accumulation.
Slaughtering a bunch of Exotic Beasts today unexpectedly netted him over 200,000 Civilization Values, nearly tripling his total. It was worth taking a trip to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.
In the coming period, Lin Ping’an planned to study Lower Third Grades of Martial Arts Knowledge to enhance his martial arts foundation while creating several new techniques to fill various gaps.
To become the supreme, the strongest in martial arts, one must become a hexagonal warrior, with no weak points or flaws.
As of now, he was still far from that goal.
Half an hour later, Lin Ping’an appeared in the library. His info was already recorded, so he could enter with facial recognition.
Inside the library was a massive Qi Blood presence, apparently a designated Guardian.
Lin Ping’an didn’t pay much attention to it, as he was here to learn through formal channels, fully documented and recorded, without any nerves.
Entering the library, he saw rows of bookshelves filled with various manuscripts, each exuding different auras.
Randomly picking up a book, he slowly opened it.
It was about tips for quickly Bone Forging in the Lower Third Grades, written by an unknown author, outside Lin Ping’an’s knowledge field.
Page after page, he kept flipping through, memorizing the contents in his mind.
Understand, analyze, deduce, summarize...
In less than ten minutes, he finished reading it.
Afterward, Lin Ping’an paused in thought.
He realized that while the essence and true meaning exhibited by the paper version could aid comprehension, it wasn’t entirely useless—just better than nothing.
It might be crucial for others, but not so much for Lin Ping’an.
Compared to paper editions, viewing electronic versions on the Celestial Dao Network was more convenient and quicker.
No worries about flipping through too fast causing damage to books, or always being mindful of the Guardian’s movements.
Thinking this, weighing the pros and cons, Lin Ping’an returned the book to its place and turned to leave, intending to read the electronic version back at the villa.
Elsewhere, an old man on the top floor of the library shook his head, sighing.
"Oh dear! Another youngster who doesn’t cherish opportunities and lacks patience! Thought this Civilization Master prodigy was different, but turns out just like that!"
"Truly one generation inferior to the last."
At the same time.
Regarding these matters, Lin Ping’an remained oblivious.
Certainly, even if he did know, he might not care. He’s always been walking his own path solo.
Doesn’t need others to point fingers or seek approval, nor does he care about others’ opinions.
Such is independence.
On his way back, Lin Ping’an made a detour to the Academy cafeteria to settle his dinner.
The cafeteria offered two modes.
The first mode provided free meals, just enough to fill up.
The second required spending Merit Points to choose dishes, using ingredients sourced from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, with varying grades and prices.
The dishes are specialized medicinal cuisines prepared by Medicinal Cuisine Masters, tasting quite good and slightly beneficial for martial arts cultivation.
A bowl of Spirit Rice costs 18 Merit Points, two bowls for 35 Merit Points...
A bowl of Dragon Blood Rice costs 1,999 Merit Points, two bowls for 3,500 Merit Points...
A serving of Braised Barbarian Bear Paw costs 199 Merit Points for First Grade, 299 for Second Grade...
A serving of Steamed Steel Crab Claws costs 288 Merit Points for First Grade, 388 for Second Grade...
A serving of Charcoal-roasted Gu Diao Thigh Meat costs 998 Merit Points for Third Grade, 1,998 for Fourth Grade...
...
The value is equally extravagant and ruthless, as ostentatious and high-profile as luxury goods from the previous world.
If Lin Ping’an weren’t wealthy enough with ample Merit Points, he might not have dared to sit here and order dishes.
After two minutes, he glanced around the menu and finally ordered a Second Grade Bear Paw, a Second Grade Crab Claw, and a bowl of Spirit Rice.
Swiping his Identity Card, the Merit Points on the Celestial Dao Network account of "Pingping’an’an" immediately decreased by 705.
Meanwhile, at the Great Xia Academy cafeteria account, a transaction notification appeared.
This Identity Card was bound to the same pseudonym account of Lin Ping’an.
And the other more significant pseudonym "Warrior of Love" had never undergone offline verification.
The billions of Merit Points on that account remained untouched, as Lin Ping’an had no intentions of using it until he became one of the strongest in the Human Race.
After all, Merit Points can be traded.
This immense wealth was something Lin Ping’an couldn’t protect at his current strength level.
Even though most martial artists have good intentions, he wasn’t willing to gamble that the remaining ones meant well too.
