Chapter 274: Treasures That Enhance Mental Power
For an In-Jin Martial Artist to become a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist, they must first generate a sense of Qi within their body, yet this seemingly simple step blocks nearly seventy percent of In-Jin Martial Artists!
Even someone as strong as the Headquarters President often feels powerless when facing this difficulty.
However, with this Cloud Jade Fruit, it is theoretically possible to transform any In-Jin Martial Artist into a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist.
In other words, as long as there is a sufficient quantity of Cloud Jade Fruit, the Association is fully capable of cultivating batch after batch of Pulse Refining Martial Artists.
Yet, the ideal is plump, while reality is exceptionally bony.
Up to the present moment, the number of Pulse Refining Martial Artists in the entire Nanshan District Martial Arts Association is actually less than thirty.
The reason for this is actually not complicated; it is mainly because the price of this Cloud Jade Fruit is truly ridiculously high, so much so that it is like a sky-high price that makes people shrink back!
20,000 points of credit—if converted into the Martial Arts Association's Contribution Points, that is a staggering number: 200 million points!
One must know, a Transformation Energy Martial Artist with quite impressive strength can obtain about five million Contribution Points per month through their own efforts and dedication.
Calculated this way, to save up these 200 million Contribution Points, it would take nearly forty months, a long time of nearly four years!
And since the world's upheaval occurred until now, it has only been ten years at most.
In this limited time, for most martial artists, wanting to accumulate enough Contribution Points to exchange for a Cloud Jade Fruit is undoubtedly a task that is almost impossible to complete.
Therefore, for the Martial Arts Association to want to rely on this kind of fruit to cultivate Pulse Refining Martial Artists on a large scale is clearly an impractical fantasy.
Moreover, judging from the notes, the user seems to face life-threatening danger, which is also within reason.
Lu Yu subconsciously licked his lips, his heart already stirred and restless because of this Cloud Jade Fruit that could increase Origin True Qi.
Not only that, once he has taken it too many times and the effect is no longer obvious, he can still buy one or two to give to his father, Wang Shu, and the others to take.
With his current strength, guarding them from the side, there shouldn't be any major danger.
Of course, all of this must be discussed later; for now, even with over 50,000 points in his hand, Lu Yu can buy at most two Cloud Jade Fruits.
"I thought 50,000-plus points was already a lot, but now it seems it's still far from enough," he couldn't help but sigh softly.
To be honest, it wasn't just the Cloud Jade Fruit; he wanted to buy the Dragon Saliva Fruit, Sky Wind Fruit, and Giant Strength Fruit above to improve his own strength.
"Let's continue looking down first." Lu Yu suppressed the impulse in his heart and kept his gaze on the bottom of the screen.
Jinlei Fruit: Selling price 50,000 points; after consumption, it can significantly improve one's control over the lightning element.
Bingyan Fruit: Selling price 50,000 points; after consumption, it can simultaneously significantly improve one's control over both fire and ice elements.
Youming Fruit: Selling price 50,000 points; after consumption, it can significantly improve one's control over the dark element.
"The price has actually risen this much?" Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
Take the Jinlei Fruit, for example; its effect is similar to those items previously sold for 10,000 points, both significantly improving control over a certain element, yet the price has risen by a full five times.
The Youming Fruit below is the same.
Could it be that because these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that improve special abilities are too rare and scarce, the price is so high?
The Bingyan Fruit is barely understandable; after all, it can improve control over two elements at the same time.
It's just, are there really Awakened in this world who have awakened both ice and fire abilities simultaneously?
Lu Yu continued to scroll down; he had to admit that the fruits appearing later were becoming increasingly rare.
There were those that improved control over the light element, and others that improved spatial affinity.
Just as he was about to reach the end, his pupils suddenly dilated sharply, as if he had discovered some rare treasure, his gaze locked tightly onto one item.
Heavenly God Fruit: Selling price 50,000 points; after consumption, it can slightly improve one's Mental Power.
After looking at so many items, this was the first one that could improve Mental Power.
Lu Yu couldn't help but recall what Ji Bingyu had once said: those few C-Class Awakened in Yongan City had repeatedly used Ji Wanqing's precognition ability to avoid Elite-level Fierce Beasts and obtain treasures that could improve Mental Power.
Perhaps, what they were referring to was this Heavenly God Fruit?
"The price is indeed shockingly expensive." Lu Yu gasped.
50,000 points per piece; although he was tempted, once he bought it, he would have no extra points to purchase other items.
And this so-called slight improvement in Mental Power, how much can it actually improve? Is it a fixed numerical increase, or an increase by percentage?
"Maybe I should think about it some more." Lu Yu pondered to himself.
After all, his current Mental Power has already far exceeded the scope of a C-Class Awakened, and it is even possible that it exceeds that of a B-Class Awakened.
Furthermore, wanting to improve Mental Power can also be achieved by practicing a Cultivation Method.
For others, the speed of improving Mental Power through Cultivation Method practice is too slow, far from being as rapid as consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
But for Lu Yu, as long as there is enough Experience Value, there is no great difference between the two.
"That's right, now that I am a member of the Awakened Association, I should be able to buy the Sun Observation Method." Lu Yu suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart, as if he had thought of something important.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to temporarily shelve the idea of buying these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and instead clicked to enter the Cultivation Method column.
Instantly, countless Martial Arts Manuals surged onto the screen like a tide, dazzling to the eyes.
Lu Yu's gaze quickly swept over those Cultivation Methods with points under one hundred and looked directly further down.
Cuixin Palm: Selling price 200 points; this palm technique is sinister and vicious. If those struck do not have deep Internal Energy, the light consequence is needing several months to Regulate Breath, while the heavy consequence is vomiting black blood, or even losing one's life due to rotting internal organs.
Kaishan Palm: Selling price 200 points; this palm technique is rigid, fierce, and direct, emphasizing the use of powerful force to break through all clever techniques. No matter how the opponent's moves change, one can overcome ten thousand techniques with a single force. It is rumored that when practiced to the Consummation realm, it possesses the powerful might to split a mountain.
Jingang Fist: Selling price 200 points; originating from ancient Shaolin fist techniques, the fist technique is extremely rigid and fierce, indestructible, and contains the most rigid and yang power.
Dayinyang Hand: Selling price 200 points; the palm technique contains both yin and yang energy. Once it hits an enemy, it can make them suffer immensely, enduring the torture of the yin and yang forces clashing against each other.
From various fist techniques to palm techniques, to Internal Energy mental cultivation methods, and weapon martial arts, it could be said that everything was available.
The points also slowly increased from the initial 200 points to 300 points and 500 points.
Lu Yu couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes flashing with an excited light.
These are all rare and good things!
And the conditions for exchange are relatively not harsh; basically, one can get a manual for a few hundred points.
Although this price, when converted into Contribution Points, is also several million points, fortunately, he has sufficient points now.
Furthermore, seeing this, the currently most expensive Martial Arts Manual is only about 500 points; perhaps even more powerful Cultivation Methods are yet to come!
