章節 25: Chapter 25: Peak of Rank 2!
Without hesitation, Zhou Ming urged the Sword Qi Gu and twisted his waist, and turned around, fiercely attacking backwards.
With a clang, a bone arrow was knocked away by the Sword Qi.
"Huh? This kid actually managed to dodge it?"
Accompanied by a somewhat surprised male voice, the figures of three people appeared out of thin air, standing around Zhou Ming, surrounding him.
Zhou Ming's expression became serious. These three people all exuded the aura of a rank 2 Gu Master, and their cold and sneering faces revealed undisguised malice.
"Greedy for wealth? When did I become a target?"
Zhou Ming silently thought back, suddenly realizing that he had been too high-profile today.
Going back and forth between shops and stalls, throwing a large amount of elemental stones to purchase one after another Gu, without any cover, it was no surprise that someone was keeping an eye on him.
"When did I become so careless?"
Zhou Ming shuddered, and then he realized that these days' large inflow of money had unintentionally made him complacent, causing him to become so arrogant, forgetting his usual cautiousness, and becoming completely without vigilance. He had even acted like a child, flaunting his wealth in the market without realizing it.
"Indeed, I must reflect at all times and never have the slightest slack in my mindset."
Zhou Ming secretly warned himself that not every time would be as lucky as this and that the sense of crisis could play a role in rescuing him.
With such complacency and carelessness, he would eventually fall.
At this moment, the person facing Zhou Ming spoke up: "Kid, since you've found us out, we don't need to beat around the bush. Hand over all the Gu and elemental stones on you, and we'll let you go. How about it?"
Zhou Ming sneered, "I'm from the Zhou family. Do you dare rob me? Aren't you afraid of the Zhou family's retaliation?"
The three people heard the two words "Zhou family", but instead of showing any signs of retreat, they all revealed a cruel smile.
"So what if it's the Zhou family? Let them try to reach their hands here."
"Young man, I was originally going to let you go unharmed, but since you came to intimidate us with the Zhou family, hmph, very well, now I'm going to have you chop off an arm, or else leave your life behind!"
Faced with the threat of three people, Zhou Ming remained unfazed, nodding calmly and saying, "It seems that you have a grudge against the Zhou family. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like wandering demonic cultivators, but rather like families who have a grudge against the Zhou family and are not afraid of them. There are only a few such families, so are you from the Wen family, the Fu family or the Kou family?
He paused for a moment and continued, "I can tell from your expressions that my guess is probably right. I guess you probably want to kill me and leave no witnesses now, although you never intended to spare me from the beginning."
"However, I'm not interested in guessing which family you belong to, nor am I interested in playing any games of fighting like trapped beasts with you."
"Well, I'm quite grateful to you for sounding the alarm and making me wake up in time, instead of waiting for a bigger crisis to repent."
"Then, as a thank you, I'll take your lives the next time we meet. Goodbye."
Leaving these words behind, Zhou Ming's figure disappeared abruptly amidst the attacks launched by the three who had just reacted, leaving no trace behind.
Only three people with embarrassed expressions remained, staring hard at the spot where Zhou Ming had disappeared, trying hard to find any trace of his departure.
In the Main God Space, Zhou Ming handed over the Gu worms expressionlessly, watching his reward points continuously increase until they stopped at 25919. He no longer had any of the forty Gu worms he had brought with him. Then, he spent 6500 points and exchanged them for thirteen pure soul crystals.
"From now on, don't go back for the time being. Just cultivate here and break through to rank 2."
After counting the primeval stones on his body, Zhou Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of determination. He still had over three hundred of them, which would support his cultivation for more than ten days.
He only had one Sword Qi Gu worm left on his body, but he had already purchased enough food for it to last more than ten days. With nothing else to distract him, Zhou Ming focused on his cultivation.
It had to be said that, if nothing else were taken into consideration, the Main God Space was definitely a paradise for otakus. Whatever food or drink one desired, it was all readily available, and various entertainment facilities were readily available.
Whether Zhou Ming was hungry, thirsty, tired, or bored, the Main God Space could provide everything he needed.
Even if he felt lonely after being alone for too long, he could go to the public space, bargain with the booth owners, and relieve his loneliness.
In the blink of an eye, eleven days had passed, leaving only the final two days before the next mission began.
In the Main God Space, Zhou Ming sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, surrounded by elemental stones. He held two primeval stones in his hand and continuously absorbed the natural true essence within them, supplementing his own.
In his aperture, a dramatic change was taking place. Waves were constantly crashing against the wall of his sea of primeval essence, and finally, at a certain moment, with a loud crash, the aperture wall could no longer hold and shattered.
At this moment, an infinite sea of primeval essence underwent an inexplicable transformation. The dark green primeval essence had turned into a light red color.
And the shattered aperture crystal membrane had once again gathered together, but this time, it had turned into a water membrane, even thicker and tougher than the crystal membrane.
"I've finally broken through," Zhou Ming opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
With more than ten days of cultivation, as well as the support of his A-grade aptitude and enough primeval stones, breaking through to the rank 2 was not difficult.
"Great! With my increased strength, I can now be more daring in my actions."
"I still have more than a day before the next mission starts, so I'll go and earn enough primeval stones. When the prompt for the next mission is issued, I'll buy some corresponding Gu worms and improve my strength."
Zhou Ming had obtained a reward from the previous mission, which would allow him to receive a prompt for the next mission. However, this reward would only be given out one day before the mission started, and there was still some time left.
"Main God, exchange twenty Sword Qi Gu worms!"
Zhou Ming shouted loudly.
Immediately, twenty Sword Qi Gu worms appeared in front of him, and the corresponding 8000 reward points were instantly deducted.
"Return!"
When Zhou Ming chose to return, the voice of the Main God sounded in his mind.
[Because of the improvement in the strength of the reincarnated, they will need to pay 2000 reward points to return to the main god space after leaving next time.]
"This..." Zhou Ming was stunned.
Returning to the main world, he found himself back where he entered the main god space before.
Now the surroundings were empty, and there was no one in sight. The three people who were with him before naturally did not wait for him here for more than ten days.
Without hesitation, Zhou Ming immediately headed back to the marketplace. He was now closest to this marketplace and did not want to waste time traveling to other markets to sell the Gu worms on his body.
Moreover, he also wanted to try and see if he could encounter the three Gu masters who had attacked him. If possible, he could use this opportunity to take revenge on them directly.
Of course, the premise was that he needed to first buy enough rank 2 Gu worms to enhance his strength.
Soon, he entered the marketplace and began to sell the Gu worms on his body.
A Sword Qi Gu can be sold to a store for a price of 800 primeval stones. Moreover, this rank 2 Gu is much more popular than the rank 1 Leaf Blade Gu, making it easy to sell.
However, Zhou Ming's goal is not just to sell it. He also wants to spend the primeval stones, he earns to exchange for suitable Gu to arm himself.
Zhou Ming consciously scattered the Gu to each shop until the last one, and he had 16,000 primeval stones, left over, far exceeding all the huge sums he had previously harvested.
And this last shop is also the largest one in this market.
"Do you have the Relic Gu here?"
After selling the last Gu on him, Zhou Ming asked the Gu master in front of him.
The Relic Gu is a series of Gu, all of which are one-time consumable Gu. Their function is to improve the cultivation of Gu Masters by one small realm.
The rank 1 is the Green Copper Relic Gu, which is only effective for rank 1 Gu Masters. The rank 2 is the Red Steel Relic Gu, which is only effective for rank 2 Gu Masters.
The White Silver Relic Gu for rank 3, the Yellow Golden Relic Gu for rank 4, and the Purple Crystal Relic Gu for rank 5, all have the same effect, but the level of the Gu Masters affected is different.
Compared to other Gu, the price of the Relic Gu is simply outrageous.
The Green Copper Relic Gu can sell for about 2,000 primeval stones, the Red Steel Relic Gu rises to 8,000, the White Silver Relic Gu skyrockets to 50,000, and the Yellow Golden Relic Gu can even sell for 300,000.
The 16,000 primeval stones that Zhou Ming just earned can only buy two Red Iron Relic Gu at most, depending on whether the shop has stock.
However, Zhou Ming doesn't need two Red Steel Relic Gu, he only needs one.
When he heard that Zhou Ming wanted to buy the Relic Gu, the Gu Master in front of him immediately smiled and said, "Sir, we have the Green Copper Relic Gu for the rank 1 and the Red Steel Relic Gu for the rank 2. How many do you need?"
"Just one Red Steel Relic Gu is enough. Also, do you have a rank 2 Wood Path storage Gu?"
"Of course." The Gu master listed a series of Gu names, all of which were rank 2 Wood Path storage Gu, but with different functions and different foods required for feeding.
After comparing them in his mind, Zhou Ming chose the flower storage Gu. This Gu's price is not high, and it only costs 780 primeval stones, which Zhou Ming quickly bought.
With this Gu, Zhou Ming now has a portable mustard seed space, greatly enhancing his endurance.
Next, Zhou Ming asked about some rank 2 Gu for Wood Path and Soul Path, and quickly put together two sets of mutually supportive Gu. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money.
"A few thousand primeval stones is not enough to gather all these two sets of Gu!" Zhou Ming sighed.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this result early on and was not disappointed. He then asked about the rank 2 consumable Gu, but unfortunately, only fourteen Gu were available this time, and they were all different from before. He bought them all for just over 2,000 primeval stones.
Finally, he picked out six Gu that did not repeat from the two sets of Gu he had previously purchased, and his primeval stones were all spent, with only a single digit left. He couldn't afford anything else.
He chose an unremarkable place and returned to the main god space. As expected, he was deducted 2000 reward points.
He submitted all the gu worms in his hands, including the relics and flower storage gu, and received 9680 reward points.
He opened the exchange list and searched for the Red Steel Relic Gu.
"It requires 400 reward points for exchange, just as I expected." A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as Zhou Ming directly exchanged for three Red Steel Relic Gu
He used all three Gu worms at once, and his realm instantly soared.
Rank 2 initial stage...rank 2 middle stage...rank 2 upper stage...rank 2 peak stage!
In just a few breaths of time, Zhou Ming's cultivation level had soared from the initial stage of rank 2 to the peak stage of rank 2!
This is the powerful effect of the Relic Gu!
