I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1228: Chapter 887: Energy Saving and Environmental Protection?

"This one costs 27 merit points, this one 19 merit points, and this one 22 merit points." Looking at the different blood materials Zheng Yichen brought out, Tia provided the merit points required for each.

In terms of biological enhancement, the consumption of merit points is quite high. Although the expenditure in this area is related to the individual’s strength, strength acts as an additional value, and the base value does not change.

"Why is there so much fluctuation? What’s the difference? Is there a group discount?" Zheng Yichen immediately asked three questions in a row.

If there’s a group discount, this matter could be deferred. The Divine Domain doesn’t have high requirements on physique, as long as one has the relevant power and achieves the corresponding level. However, the inner Heaven and Earth demand certain physical criteria.

The Divine Domain can be regarded as ’magic’, while the inner Heaven and Earth is like evolutionary mutation...

"There’s no group discount, as each individual’s enhancement consumption is different and doesn’t include other traits," Tia explained. "We only retain the traits necessary to achieve the inner Heaven and Earth. Under these circumstances, the adaptable part affecting the price can be covered without elimination, which reduces the cost."

"So, the effect is consistent?"

After seeing Tia nod, Zheng Yichen immediately brought out new blood materials. The most expensive one required over 30 merit points, while the cheapest still needed 17 merit points.

Zheng Yichen suddenly felt like he hadn’t resolved enough Demonic Beasts in the Ancient Venerable World. If he had collected a bit more of the relevant blood materials, perhaps he could find cheaper options.

Suddenly struck by an idea, a small exclamation mark lit up over Zheng Yichen’s head. He immediately entered the Virtual World and used the information there to revive a life form.

Although he hadn’t collected so many blood materials, the Virtual World contained complete records.

However, when Zheng Yichen tried to use this blood, the price increased by 15 from its original base...

"Forget it, let’s just leave it at that." Zheng Yichen gave up on random tinkering and brought out the blood material that required 17 merit points for enhancement.

Information corresponding to this blood material was also present in the Virtual World. It was a dragon beast, neither a Divine Dragon nor the image of a large lizard.

He still had 96 merit points left. Using 17 points would still leave enough to handle various issues.

"I won’t get taken to a ’little black room’, will I?" Tanshia Firlo looked at Tia somewhat nervously.

"No need, just follow me to the infirmary."

Tia directly took Tanshia Firlo to the infirmary. Zheng Yichen followed out of curiosity since Tia didn’t say he couldn’t come along.

Upon arriving at the infirmary, Tia directly prepared a bottle of IV drip, injecting the blood material into the small drip bottle.

Zheng Yichen was dumbfounded: "Is it that simple?"

If Ahn Ke saw this scene, she would definitely question reality.

"You could use a syringe for injection; the result would be the same."

"Isn’t the timing different?"

Tia glanced at Zheng Yichen who was quibbling but said nothing, directly giving Tanshia Firlo an injection. The small white dragon watched as the needle was inserted into her hand, revealing a strange expression. It was her first time getting an injection.

There was no sensation during the process. When administering the IV, Tia set the flow rate to maximum, and since the bottle wasn’t large, it didn’t take a long time overall.

"By the way, can I get one too?"

"You don’t need it," Tia said without hesitation.

Zheng Yichen pulled over a chair, sat down, closed his eyes, and continued mulling over the method Lilith had deduced yesterday.

There are too many cultivation methods in the Ancient Venerable World, many of which can achieve the inner Heaven and Earth state, but most require reaching the level of a True Immortal.

In that world, Zheng Yichen was not a True Immortal, but his strength had already met the standard, just like he wasn’t a True God in the world of magic, yet he could use the Divine Domain.

Therefore, those cultivation techniques didn’t have much effect on Zheng Yichen. Even the Blood Asura technique he was currently cultivating had changed with his increased strength and physical transformation, no longer resembling the original Blood Asura.

Previously, the cultivation technique drove Zheng Yichen’s improvement, but now Zheng Yichen propelled the cultivation technique forward. The Blood Asura martial art had already embedded itself into Zheng Yichen’s body.

This meant the Blood Asura he learnt differed significantly from the original. Even if a martial arts genius visualized Zheng Yichen’s cultivated Blood Asura to create a similar martial skill, it wouldn’t replicate the Blood Asura Zheng Yichen once practiced, nor would it relate to the Battle Maniac Asura.

Even if Zheng Yichen’s Blood Asura retained the original’s effect.

As a result, the cultivation method deduced by Lilith was very basic. It didn’t have substantial enhancement components, merely a direct way to reach the inner Heaven and Earth state.

The foundational requirement of this cultivation method is based on Zheng Yichen’s template.

A new practitioner who obtained a powerful cultivation technique couldn’t directly practice it, nor were the cultivation conditions lowered; what’s needed is for the individual’s innate foundation to meet the relevant standards.

If they meet the standards, they can practice it. If not, it’s like reading the Dao De Jing in the normal world; don’t expect to be able to practice anything just from reading it.

As for those who reached Zheng Yichen’s level using other cultivation techniques... well, if you can cultivate to Zheng Yichen’s level, you don’t need this thing anymore.

This basic ’cultivation technique’ is only for opening the inner Heaven and Earth, but other cultivation techniques open it during cultivation, so what’s the point of this?

This thing is only suitable for ’oddities’ like Zheng Yichen, or special existences like Tanshia Filo who, through Dusk’s enhancement, obtained the qualification to open the inner Heaven and Earth.

It’s very suitable for Dusk mercenaries.

Zheng Yichen started practicing yesterday, and based on his own feeling, opening the inner Heaven and Earth should... be possible today.

The main reason is that yesterday, this thing was in Zheng Yichen’s hands for less than ten minutes, and most of the time was spent deducing the cultivation technique.

This kind of technique, which doesn’t come with any special bonus and can only be cultivated to open the inner Heaven and Earth, suits the Dusk mercenaries well. Zheng Yichen asked Tia how much it could be sold for within the Dusk Organization in the Misty City World.

Tia actually gave Zheng Yichen a price, and based on the prices in Misty City, this thing could likely sell for over a billion.

As for exchanging it for merit points, forget about it.

Those Dusk mercenaries don’t have the conditions to open the inner Heaven and Earth, unless they’re Dusk mercenaries from the Ancient Venerable World, where the environment is high-end. They genuinely need to open the inner Heaven and Earth, so Dusk mercenaries can just find high-end cultivation techniques from the Ancient Venerable World.

After all, they spend money for enhancement, so why not change cultivation techniques as well?

Only those who don’t want to give up their original strength would consider using a cultivation technique like Zheng Yichen’s.

"The market is truly peculiar," Zheng Yichen muttered, continuing to read a book. After a dozen minutes, Tanshia Filo’s IV drip was done, and the small white dragon let out an "awoo" and hung onto Zheng Yichen’s back.

"I feel dizzy, carry me."

"? Don’t fool around." Feeling that Tanshia Filo was in very good health, Zheng Yichen patted her and didn’t remove the small white dragon from his back.

This round of enhancement was a single characteristic enhancement, where the blood was just a material, not a kind of bloodline enhancement; once enhanced, one could gain the characteristics of those creatures.

Tanshia Filo was already a dragon and didn’t need those; she just needed to acquire the conditions to open the inner Heaven and Earth.

"Let’s go back to read and quickly open the inner Heaven and Earth."

"My conditions might not be enough." Tanshia Filo muttered. She was still a demigod, and reaching a True God required time to accumulate strength, otherwise, she wouldn’t try to transform the Holy Relic of Life into a God’s Core to break through the demigod level.

The power contained in the Holy Relic of Life was much stronger than her own, and transforming it into a God’s Core would allow her to become a god.

"No rush, we have plenty of time," Zheng Yichen said to Tia, "then let’s go."

"Mm." Tia packed up Tanshia Filo’s used IV bottle and other medical waste, throwing them into a nearby trash can which acted like a black hole; once thrown in, the items disappeared without a sound.

Back at home, Zheng Yichen first glanced at the town tree. In just a day, the area in hell affected by the town tree had expanded to over ten million square kilometers. Although the expansion rate had slowed, it showed no signs of stopping.

Retrieving his perception, Zheng Yichen wasn’t too concerned about how hell was managed, as long as hell creatures from other worlds didn’t invade the Misty City World.

Zheng Yichen arrived at the secret realm, where the items had been organized. All the boxes were neatly arranged, and with a glance from the Illusory Eye, the information was clear.

"It’s just that there’s nothing here I can use..." Shaking his head, much like a giant dragon surveying its treasure, he circled several times before taking away quite a bit of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

With techniques like Alchemy and Artifact Refining, Lilith no longer needed to rely on the Universal Toolbox.

The Virtual Genesis is an even more powerful ’mother machine’ compared to the Cradle of Civilization, with simulations so realistic that it lacks no tool crafting masters or Alchemists.

As the main brain, Lilith could directly extract relevant experience.

She was now a deputy master.

The materials Zheng Yichen took were all things Lilith could use for alchemy.

Zheng Yichen himself couldn’t use them, but his family could, including Tanshia Filo, who was about to attempt transforming the God’s Core.

Seeing the value of items displayed by the Illusory Eye, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but sigh again at how little he consumed resources.

"I am truly energy-efficient."

"..." Lilith, who followed Zheng Yichen in projection form, said nothing. Is her BOSS really energy-efficient?

Other cultivators used Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as resources, while Zheng Yichen used those ’cultivators’ as resources. Those cultivators consumed resources to enhance themselves, and then when they encountered Zheng Yichen, they were killed and became his resources.

Traditional cultivators are vegetarians, while Zheng Yichen is a meat-eater.

Of course, since Zheng Yichen thought he was energy-efficient, Lilith would also consider Zheng Yichen to be energy-efficient. Once all lifeforms were dead, they wouldn’t bring additional consumption to the world itself, which, in some sense, was also a kind of energy efficiency.
