Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Complete Three-Piece Set of the Little Blood Cow

Half a month had flown by, and during that time, Gu Shanhai had been busy without a break. He hadn’t descended into any instances because, to him, taking them on was a means to become stronger. However, the danger and the delay in his advancement in strength made him naturally avoid them.

"At last, I’ve completed the Qi Refining Second Level," Gu Shanhai reflected with satisfaction as he looked at the three Spirit Plants he had completely refined and claimed ownership of. "There’s still a lot that can be perfected, but I’ll have to take it slow."

Although the sensitivity enhancement of the Qi Refining Second Level was primarily based on the Xuanwei Sect’s three-vein cultivation techniques, he also integrated the methods of Artifact Refining, talisman, and Array into the Yunling aspect of the Qi Refining First Level. Through constant resonance and energy circulation, the Spirit Plants were gradually imprinted and refined.

Otherwise, if it was just about perfecting the sensing part, relying on these twenty-seven Cultivation Techniques, it would have taken him only ten days to complete. In fact, the first five days were spent busily working on refining the Spirit Plants.

"I need to figure out a way to cultivate automatically in the future or I’ll have to maintain it every time, which is too draining on my energy."

Gu Shanhai was still dissatisfied with his small amount of Mana, as cultivating took away from the time he needed to deduce and perfect his own system. He had to set aside an hour every day for cultivation.

Now, his Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt and Child Skill techniques were already perfected and couldn’t be improved further. Continuing to cultivate would only increase his Mana, which didn’t bother him, as it was just low-level Martial World techniques. After all, with such excellent resources, if he took decades to reach minor achievements like Ghost-faced Vajra, it would mean all his efforts had been in vain.

To strengthen this set of cultivation techniques, Gu Shanhai needed sufficient corresponding knowledge.

"Let’s see if I can find a set of Dragon and Tiger Gang Sha and Pure Yang techniques in the future." Gu Shanhai had plans for his set of techniques, as with Dragon and Tiger Gang Sha, he could deduce the evolution of the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt into Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield and Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt. With Child Skill and Pure Yang, it could become Innate Pure Yang Skill.

Don’t ask him how he knew; he had already created them in his previous life, and they could be considered a form of Immortal Martial Arts.

Its power was mediocre, but mainly, after cultivating it, one’s vitality and defense would be exceptionally strong and resilient.

Since his memories from the past were limited, he only knew the related concepts. To truly create this three-piece set required a vast amount of Martial Arts knowledge. For now, it was just an idea.

Even if the Dragon Roar Tiger Cry Pure Yang Skill didn’t work out, combining it with other schools to create something like the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield or the Heavenly Demon Iron Cloth Shirt, which leaned towards the path of the Immortal Dao, would also be no problem.

It could even be a bit outlandish, merging with techniques like a Titanium Alloy Body, Fusion Nuclear Energy Internal Strengthening Method from the realm of Science Martial Arts, or even Multi-Elemental Body and Demon Energy Meditation Body Forging Technique from Demon Martial Arts. And if he really decided to go against the norm, even the aberrant forms like Evil Suppressing Technique and the Deceit Martial Arts were possible.

One needn’t worry about wasting this set of low-level Martial World techniques without Dragon and Tiger Gang Sha and Pure Yang.

Gu Shanhai had sowed many of these eccentric techniques as opportunities in his previous life, specifically to reap the benefits from those who stumbled upon them. This enabled him to gain a considerable advantage.

After all, those who found them represented luck and even main character potential. Bearing such opportunities meant an obligation to return the favor. If they didn’t, he had a reason to demand repayment, the kind that didn’t exclude the possibility of a fight to the death.

Usually, if the other party was in the wrong and facing the might of Gu Shanhai’s fists, they had no choice but to pay their debts honestly.

Scenarios where debts were outright refused were rare. If they did happen, it meant crushing the opposition and claiming what was his.

Eventually, he stopped engaging in such activities, not because his conscience got the better of him, but because he realized that lending wasn’t profitable. Later on, he opened banks and delved into finance under pseudonyms.

Because he discovered that even robbery didn’t yield as much as this endeavor.

As for why he used pseudonyms, that was, of course, because of the risk involved. Not only was it easy to become a target, but financial ventures could also implode, so in any case of trouble, he would take the money and run, then return under a new guise.

In summary, it was all about walking the Evil Path.

Later on, many top players were of the same mold as him, as they all stood at the top of the food chain, emotionless beings who had no room for naivety or sentimentality. Most of those who were idealistic or overly compassionate didn’t make it far before being exploited and figuratively stabbed in the back due to their sympathetic nature.

At that time, the players had already transcended the scope of the fourth Calamity, which was a disaster for NPCs. They had begun to domesticate worlds to sustain themselves.

Unlike now, when the game was just starting, and all the players were naive, thinking it was all just a game.

Of course, all these were the rewards "The First Epoch" bestowed upon the players at the top of the food chain. The harvest from the domesticated worlds belonged to "The First Epoch" by fifty percent. Otherwise, how could the players be allowed to act in such a way?

During the third version of "The First Epoch," countless worlds had been integrated into it, and naturally, it could no longer efficiently manage them all, hence the reason for sharing power.

The first and second versions didn’t offer such perks, as "The First Epoch" was still in its expansion phase.

"Next up... it’ll be the first high-level world. Judging by the time, it should open tomorrow."

Gu Shanhai’s expression grew solemn. The importance of this high-level world was comparable to his acquisition of the Yunling Technique and Yunling Grass. Unlike the introductory tutorial that required grinding, this first high-level world wouldn’t change, serving as a trial ground for players—a world captured but not fully assimilated.

This inside information was something he uncovered in his previous life after reaching the pinnacle and probing "The First Epoch" through various means, even conducting extensive verification to ensure it was one of the events unaffected by the butterfly effect, just like the tutorial.

Of course, the butterfly effect he currently caused couldn’t affect "The First Epoch."

It could only influence a small number of people, like the Cow and Horse Summoner, Heavenly Immortal Drunken Madness, and others. If not for him, Heavenly Immortal Drunken Madness wouldn’t have gotten the passive skill given by the Black Tiger. Having this skill would make his subsequent journey much smoother.

After all, the number of chances had doubled.

"I have one more day. I’ll study Spirit Plant Magic like the Sweet Dew Spell and Fertile Soil Spell," Gu Shanhai quickly immersed himself once again. Although he had mastered these spells, there was still room for improvement, such as transforming them into auras or into supportive spells, for example.

These were spells used for nurturing and caring for Spirit Plants, forming part of his crucial foundation, so naturally, they could not be discarded carelessly.

As for the firearms and munitions he had confiscated initially, he had accomplished the transformation of the Magic Domain while studying Artifact Refining. It was precisely because of his self-defense capabilities that he chose to delve into the study of Spirit Plant Magic.
