After washing up and cleaning my sweat-drenched bed, I finished off my four hours of work for the day before returning to my room. By this point, I already noticed that the Magic Cube had disappeared my pocket and slumbered within my soul, forming a strange symbol similar to the Magic Cube's surface on my left chest.
Right now, I was incomparably excited. Until now, the only training manual Lin Ming had was only a measly 'Beginners' Martial Arts manual that could be bought for relatively cheap. However, with these newfound memories, I no longer had a need to worry because of the acquisition of the best training manual for the Body Training Stage of the Divine Realm.
As of now, I was in a lower world called the Sky Spill Planet. This planet consisted of two continents namely, the Sky Spill Continent and the Holy Demon Continent. Without surprise, I was in the former. In this world, the martial arts civilization have been stagnated after a disaster that occurred over a hundred thousand years ago. The martial arts civilization only got back on track until about ninety thousand years later, which is ten thousand years ago.
However, beyond this planet, there was a wider world, as expected from a Xianxia. The world beyond this was called the Divine Realm, and its history has a span of 3.6 billion years. The difference between the two couldn't even be compared to the light of a firefly to the sun when it came to the qualities of cultivation techniques and related knowledge. More importantly, I also gained tidbits of information of the Divine Realm which will definitely prove to be helpful in the future.
It was also fortunate that because the Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridians was regarded as the most basic technique in the Divine Realm, its contents were complete and the soul's memories also contained extremely valuable experience on how to apply the method. It was deeply ingrained to the person's very soul. Unfortunately...
"Dammit, most of the techniques are incomplete!" I cried out in grief. Dammit, what was the point of all these memories if I can't even go far with them? Urgh, my heart...
Scrolling through the virtual screen of the various cultivation techniques I have obtained in the Shop, I couldn't help feeling wistful. Ah! How annoying! Then again, after thinking about it, it was to be expected. The soul I absorbed was only of the smallest size. How much could it contain? It was already good for me to receive dozens of awesome techniques, even if they are incomplete. Besides, the missing parts were only at the later parts of the techniques, a level that was currently far from my reach.
But then, the perfectionist within me lit a bulb above my head.
"System... err..." I suddenly changed midway, "The systematic methods of the Divine Realm sure are amazing!" I exclaimed exaggeratedly. Whew, that was close! It completely slipped my mind that Mo Eversnow can see me from inside!
'System!' I carefully called.
[Yes, Ming?] a mechanical sound rang in my mind.
'Actually, Ming sounds weird, call me Host.'
[Affirmative.]
'Now, where was I again? Oh yes...' after which, I asked whether the system could do something about Mo Eversnow's senses. Needless to say, the overpowered system was very reliable. In the end, I decided to simply have the system temporarily create illusions whenever I do certain tasks.
'Thanks! You're the best!'
[That's only natural.] I realized even the system had its pride.
After dealing with that, I thought back to the main reason I called for the system in the first place.
Opening the Shop, my eyes instinctively darted towards the wonderful '∞' figure at the bottom right corner of the translucent screen. Before, I used to be overly excited about my initial infinite system points. However, when I came to know about the condition that came with it, I felt depressed for being too eager and ignorant. My wish was basically no different from wishing for endless duplication! It made me want to smash my head into a wall of tofu and commit Sudoku!
But then I realized. Sudoku is a game, dummy!
Jokes aside, a realization suddenly struck me that my thinking had actually been too narrow. It was an epiphany that made me break out in a wide grin. Who ever said that system points could only be used for the Shop?!
"Hehehe..." I chuckled slyly as I thought.
'System, restore all the techniques with their missing parts!'
[Ding! That'll cost xxxxxx System Points. Restoring all the missing components currently available.]
"Hahaha!" I knew Infinite System Points couldn't have been a mistake!
...
Three days quickly passed. During this time, I managed to completely integrate with the new memories and also practice the new cultivation techniques and martial skills. Thanks to my unlimited amount of money, resources were of no problem since simply buying one of each item was enough. I couldn't help thinking that being a collector wouldn't be such a bad choice, it was oddly fun.
Unfortunately, the quality of each item wasn't comparable with the Blood Ginseng. It seemed that at the moment, it wasn't possible for me to find any better choices and the system also can't provide anything better. Nevertheless, spending a warm herbal bath every single day was still very helpful for my foundation and cultivation progress. I doubted that even the young masters of wealthy and aristocratic families could be as lavishly wasteful as I was.
During these days, I once again confirmed the system's reliability. When I asked if I could go back inside the Magic Cube whenever I wanted, it responded with clear approval. I was excited and immediately thought about going inside to absorb more souls and gain more specialized knowledge, but after careful thought, there was no need to hurry because I was very busy putting my whole focus towards the current techniques I had.
Moreover, I wasn't arrogant enough to think that I'd be able to handle too much memories with my lacking power, even with the system. Assimilating with more souls would only serve to mess up my sea of consciousness.
Speaking of which, I can now sense my sea of consciousness, requiring only true essence, the energy I cultivated. The sea of consciousness, as its name suggested, was the inner spiritual world of the mind where one's mental power resided in the form of a sea.
Right now, I was near the peak of Strength Training. Frankly speaking, I could've reached the peak sooner. However, I've learned from the best, Lin Ming himself, and always suppressed my cultivation to form a more robust foundation and let it naturally breakthrough. Nevertheless, my current level wasn't too far from the peak, and although it was only a seemingly minor increase from before, my strength had increased by leaps and bounds. If I were to compare myself now to three days ago, the difference would be like the clouds and mud.
Right now, the day was bright. In my hands, I held a spear made from ironbark wood. It wasn't the best spear in the Capital, but it didn't really matter. Currently, I was practicing the spear technique I received the last time, "Dragon King's Domination".
From its name alone, one could tell that it was a supreme skill. And in truth, it truly was a very powerful skill that was domineering in nature. With one strike, the earth would be crushed! With with one slash, the skies shattered! Alas, it had very strict requirements to practice.
For one, the practitioner had to have a nature befitting of a tyrant. Second, one had to have unparalleled talent with the spear. Lastly and more importantly, one had to possess a True Dragon's bloodline!
When I came to know about the criteria, I nearly broke out in tears. Thankfully, the former two could be worked on while the latter was only a matter of time. Regardless, the criteria wasn't enough to extinguish my passion and I diligently practiced the technique. Although the power and potential was significantly lowered, it was still a peerless technique that had no equal in the Sky Spill Planet.
As for the martial skills, they were less strict, but it didn't mean I could also wield it to its fullest potential. The most I could do was only scratch the surface. Nonetheless, a basic understanding of them was good enough for the current me.
There were also other techniques such as sword techniques, disguise techniques, and movement techniques. But aside from choosing a few more, I swept aside the others I deemed personally unsuitable.
For the moment, there was no way for the system to recreate these techniques because each one possessed unique laws and had to be placed within a special jade slip. But even if the system could, there was no way for me to share the technique for no reason.
Compared to when I buy the things that I have personally sold in the Shop, buying the techniques I obtained through memories only transfers the knowledge directly into my mind. However, I wasn't sure if I could do so for others as well. For his own safety, I wouldn't share such a precious technique with Lin Xiaodong either. In the end, the best option for was to stay as unknown as possible.
