Chapter 391

The words Liu Jingning left before she left made Xu Que quite puzzled!

The Empress's crisis is not now, but in the future?

Could it be that they can also predict the future? This is too ridiculous!

Xu Que couldn't help but shake his head, but at least he confirmed that the Empress was not in danger now, so he didn't dwell on this matter anymore. After she returned, he would ask her personally!

The most urgent task, Xu Que felt, was to exchange for a new technique!

During this period of time, because he practiced the Pluto Prison Suppression Body, his physical ability was strengthened, and through the Killing Book and Killing Sword, as well as the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, he was almost invincible at the same level, in a strong state of killing enemies across levels!

But tonight, he was slightly plotted against by Liu Jingning, and Xu Que immediately became vigilant. Just relying on these techniques, I'm afraid it's not enough to run rampant in this cultivation world!

"Looks like this small place of the five kingdoms is no longer suitable for me to act cool!"

Xu Que muttered, and summoned the system mall interface.

After entering the technique column, he chose the Heaven Grade without hesitation. With his current Acting Cool Points, it was enough to exchange for all techniques!

But among the Heaven Grade techniques, most were auxiliary techniques, which couldn't simply and rudely bomb the enemy, or powerfully crush the opponent.

However, there was one set of techniques that caught his eye!

【Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body】:

An Earth Grade high-level fighting technique from the Battle Through the Heavens plane. In the Xianxia plane, this fighting technique is Heaven Grade high-level!

After practicing, one can condense a lightning illusion body. The strength depends on the proficiency. After reaching perfection, the strength of the illusion body is equal to the true body, controlled by Divine Sense! If the true body doesn't die, the illusion body doesn't perish. (Note: This technique can only be practiced after the Three Thousand Lightning Movement is practiced to perfection!)

Price: 300 Acting Cool Points!

"This is not bad, bought! But... system, does this only have Heaven Grade techniques at the highest? I always feel that these techniques aren't as powerful as I imagined. Is it because my realm is not enough, or are these techniques just empty shells?" Xu Que bought the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body and asked the system again.

After all, he already had several techniques from various novels, all of which were awesome existences, but when actually performed, they could at most kill enemies one level higher.

The system responded: "Higher-level techniques can only be obtained after upgrading this system! Do you want to spend twenty thousand Acting Cool Points to upgrade the system?"

"No, no no no no, absolutely not upgrading!" Xu Que refused directly.

Upgrading the system costs twenty thousand Acting Cool Points. This expensive price exceeded his bottom line!

If there was no Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body, that would be one thing, but now that he had exchanged for the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body, he could let the illusion body go in the future. If it couldn't beat them, the true body would go again. Who would be afraid of two against one?

And this Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body had a terrifying bug, which was that if the true body didn't die, the illusion body wouldn't perish. Facing an immortal illusion body, the opponent wouldn't cry!

……

However, after exchanging for the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body, Xu Que also discovered that his technique essence was not much left, only a dozen points!

All along, he had stolen other people's treasure houses, and the techniques he obtained were not many, and basically all were recycled to the system to become technique essence, and then he went to upgrade other techniques, such as Three Thousand Lightning Movement, such as Flame Splitting Wave Devouring Ruler, and those Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler, basically all reached perfection.

The remaining Nine Secrets, the Bing Character Secret, and the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, were upgraded relatively slowly. After all, they were Heaven Grade, requiring too much technique essence.

And now that he practiced the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body, he also knew that the higher the proficiency of this technique, the closer the strength of the illusion body would be to the true body.

When the proficiency reaches 10%, the illusion body will possess 10% of the true body's strength, and rise accordingly!

So, Xu Que was urgently lacking a large number of techniques to recycle to the system and exchange for technique essence, so he could directly stack the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body to perfection. By then, he would be truly awesome!

……

So early the next morning, Xu Que left the Imperial Palace and arrived at the bustling center of the Imperial Capital, holding up a wooden board.

On it was written: "Acquiring all kinds of techniques at a sky-high price!"

Most of the cultivators and commoners in the Imperial Capital didn't recognize him. Only the generals and guards in the palace were familiar with him, so Xu Que didn't cause any major crowd-watching events when he arrived at the market where people came and went!

But when he held up this wooden sign, everyone's attention was attracted!

"Acquiring at a sky-high price? What kind of price is that?"

"Techniques are so precious, how could anyone easily take them out to sell?"

"Looks like this teenager doesn't understand the market price. At his age, I'm afraid he can't take out many spirit stones! How can he talk about a sky-high price?"

Many people shook their heads and turned away, almost no one came up to ask Xu Que what price he would use to acquire them!

Xu Que was unhappy when he saw this, and shouted: "Don't miss it when passing by, the Exploding Heaven Gang is acquiring techniques at a sky-high price, honest and fair, stupid and rich, friends with techniques hurry over!"

After saying that, he summoned the system package.

"Clatter!"

Suddenly, more than a million lower-grade spirit stones poured out, openly thrown on the ground, piling up into a small mountain.

These spirit stones were not Xu Que's entire net worth. Over the years, he had killed countless people and obtained countless storage rings. The spirit stones inside were organized by the system. Just the lower-grade spirit stones alone were several tens of millions!

And the number of medium-grade spirit stones, upper-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones was also quite large.

But now it was just for the promotional effect, Xu Que was too lazy to take out too many, just casually throwing out more than a million lower-grade spirit stones to attract everyone's attention.

But even more than a million lower-grade spirit stones were enough to shock countless cultivators present!

Spirit stones are the currency of the cultivation world, not only used for cultivation but also as currency to buy dharma artifacts and spirit medicine.

Many scattered cultivators present had never seen so many spirit stones in their entire lives.

And those from small sects were also shocked, because these more than a million lower-grade spirit stones were equivalent to the entire sect's income for several years.

But now, so many spirit stones were casually thrown out by this teenager. Could it be that he is really stupid and rich?

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"Where did this teenager come from? Actually carrying so many spirit stones out!"

"Wouldn't it be stolen from home? Don't the adults at home care about him?"

"Too bold, he's not afraid of being robbed. Although this is the Imperial Capital, it hasn't been very peaceful these days!"

"Yeah! What if he encounters the Twelve Young Masters of the Imperial Capital, he will definitely be robbed!"

"A while ago, a hooligan robbed a girl on the street and took her back to the mansion as a concubine, and it ended up with nothing. Do you know why? Because that hooligan's cousin is one of the Twelve Young Masters!"

Unknowingly, everyone directly deviated from the topic!

But at this time, a middle-aged man pondered for a while, came to Xu Que, and smiled slightly: "Young Hero, I am the boss of Zhai Bao Pavilion, selling all kinds of techniques, but I am preparing to leave the Imperial Capital during this period and no longer operate this shop. If you have enough spirit stones, I can transfer Zhai Bao Pavilion to you!"

"Oh? How many techniques do you have in Zhai Bao Pavilion?" Xu Que was instantly interested. He didn't have the patience to collect them one by one, and it would be better to buy the shop directly. Anyway, the spirit stones were with him, and they were worthless.

"Roughly fifty or so techniques, one of which is Earth Grade, thirty or so are Mystic Grade, and twenty are Yellow Grade!" The middle-aged man replied.

Xu Que was instantly disgusted: "Only one Earth Grade? No Heaven Grade ones? Forget it, forget it, you name a price, I want them all!"

"Uh..." The middle-aged man's mouth twitched instantly.

Everyone present was also ashamed.

What do you mean by only one Earth Grade? Techniques are very precious treasures. Zhai Bao Pavilion's foundation can be considered one of the best in the Imperial Capital.

As for Heaven Grade techniques? That's estimated to be possessed by some major sects, not something that can be bought casually on the street!

And if a Heaven Grade technique really appeared, it would definitely be sold at an auction, not casually taken out on the street!

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "Young Hero, since that's the case, Zhai Bao Pavilion has been in the Imperial Capital for so many years and is quite famous. If you are interested in buying it, then I will give a fair price, eight million lower-grade spirit stones, how about it?"

Eight million lower-grade spirit stones?

When everyone present heard this, they gasped!

This price is indeed fair, but it's eight million spirit stones after all! Is it something an ordinary person can afford?

The middle-aged man didn't hold much hope either. He really wanted to leave the Imperial Capital after a while, but Zhai Bao Pavilion couldn't be sold and no one cared about it. He only came up to ask when he met Xu Que. But Xu Que was so young, he didn't hold much hope, just purely trying.

However, when Xu Que heard this, he nodded without thinking: "Okay, no problem, eight million lower-grade spirit stones, converted to medium-grade spirit stones it's only eighty thousand, damn, really cheap!"
