Xiao Long's snake form was his true body, while his human form was a e.
Whether it was the true body or the e, they shared the same sciousness. Acc to the characteristics of the Three Lives Art, as long as the true body remained intact, the e could be reformed even if it was killed, at the cost of ing oh of the true body's True Qi and vital essence.
True Qi wasn't a big deal, but losing oh of his vital essence was troublesome. Without special pills, it might take a month to replenish.
However, this wasn't a problem for Xiao Long. As one of the top alchemists on the ti, he had at least a hundred ways to replenish vital essence. For instahe Blood Lingzhi that Xiao Bai found could be refined into a frade Blood Spirit Pill, whiot only restored vital esse alseed flesh and bones, even allowing severed limbs to grow back.
"With this e, it's much more veo operate in the human world," Xiao Long thought to himself.
Even though it only had oh of the true body's bat power, what kind of existence was Xiao Long? With the sixth level of the Azure Dragon Tome and a myriad of martial arts, eveenth of his power was not something humans of the same level could tend with.
In other words, this e could easily sweep through humans at the fifth level of the Qi densing Realm.
Xiao Long focused on the e, and with a thought, the human e vanished from the ground, reappearing in Xiao Long's Inner World.
Xiao Long's Inner World was filled with corrosive poison, but it didn't affect his own body. The e could enter a freely.
"This human form will serve as my medium for iing with the human world," Xiao Long mused.
At this moment, he remembered the "Myriad Worlds Mall" mentioned in the system prompt and opehe mall interface.
The mall ce to purchase items, with the homepage divided into various ses, including herbs, teiques, spirit crystals, and even Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Xiao Long clicked into the spirit crystal se, where the crystals varied in size and price. The smallest spirit crystal cost 1,000 gold s, while the rgest riced at a staggering 10,000 gold s.
As for the pill se, the prices were even more eous. A random third-grade pill started at 20,000 gold s, with the highest reag over 500,000!
"Damn! Why not just rob me? I only have a little over 8,000 gold s, 't even afford a hair," Xiao Long cursed angrily.
[Kind reminder: When short on gold s, you choose to sell items.]
Xiao Long was taken aback by the system prompt. He could sell items?
With a mio try, he clicked on an Explosive Yuan Pill in his iory and chose to sell it to the Myriad Worlds Mall.
"You have sold a third-grade Explosive Yuan Pill, perfect dition, appraised by the system to be worth 32,000 gold s."
"You have received 32,000 gold s, current bance 40,219."
Xiao Long noticed that at the end of the third-grade pill se, a crimson pill appeared, priced at 64,000 gold s. It was the Explosive Yuan Pill he had just sold.
"What the hell! They bought my pill for 30,000 and are selling it for 60,000. Such profiteers!" Xiao Long cursed vehemently.
After cursing, the Explosive Yuan Pill disappeared, bought by someone unknown.
Xiao Long suddenly remembered that his iory still tained many spoils of war, including Gu You's ste ring.
Upon opening the ste ring, a rge number of spirit stones appeared in his iory. Xiao Long sed through them and marveled at the wealth. As expected of a sect leader, the amount exceeded all the spirit stones he had previously acquired bined.
Five million middle-grade spirit stohirty thousand upper-grade spirit stones, and even a hundred rare supreme-grade spirit stones. However, there were few other spirit tools or herbs, as sect leaders rarely carried such miseous items, usually st them in the sect's treasure vault for disciples to use.
However, there was a quasi-Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Soul-Summoning Banner, whifortunately hadn't been used before its owner died.
There were also ste rings from other elders, but the spirit stones inside were used up when triggering the formation, leaving behind various miseous items. Xiao Lorieved them all and chose to sell them.
"You have sold the upper-grade spirit tool Fiery Bde, wear level 11%, appraised by the system to be worth 3,201 gold s."
"You have received 3,201 gold s, current bance 43,420."
"You have sold the middle-grade spirit tool Gzed Inner Armor, no wear, appraised by the system to be worth 500 gold s!"
"You have received 500 gold s, current bance 43,920."
"You have sold the supreme-grade spirit tool Soul-Chasing Bow, wear level 2%, appraised by the system to be worth 25,089 gold s."
"You have received 25,089 gold s, current bance 69,009."
"You have sold..."
...
"You have sold the quasi-Innate Spiritual Treasure Five Poisons Soul-Summoning Banner, no wear, appraised by the system to be worth 350,000 gold s."
"You have received 350,000 gold s, current bance 1,101,342."
[Kind reminder: Yold bance has reached one millioing the criteria frading to a oar member. The system has automatically upgraded you to a oar member.]
"Ding dong! You have been upgraded to a oar member of the Myriad Worlds Mall, enjoying a 5% dist on all items and eligible to purchase higher-grade items!"
...
After selling all his spoils, the system issued two prompts, and Xiao Long discovered that all item prices were now 5% cheaper, and the variety of items had increased.
inally, the most expeem in the spirit stoion was the spirit crystal, with nothing beyond that. Now, there urple Spirit Crystal, though the price was steep, with the cheapest one selling for 500,000 gold s.
"Sigh! 't afford it anyway," Xiao Long sighed, shaking his head.
Xiao Long casually browsed the herb se and bought some materials for refining gxu Pills and Qi densing Pills. The prices of these herbs were also exorbitant, with 110,000 gold s spent in an instant.
Xiao Long noticed something: the herbs he purchased disappeared after buying, while the spirit tools he sold were all dispyed in the spirit tool se at double the selling price.
He vaguely uood that this Myriad Worlds Mall was a rge prehensive mall eg tless dimensions, allowing people from different dimensions to trade with each other, with the mall taking a cut.
It seemed there were still many unknown things in this world waiting for him to explore. Xiao Long had a premonition that even if he successfully asded to the Heavenly Realm, it wouldn't be the end. There were tless secrets behind the ses yet to be uncovered.
Xiao Long closed the mall auro reality, taking out all the herbs from his iory.
"Let's first refine gxu Pills for Da Hei and Er Hei to help them break through to the first rank of Demon General."
The middle-grade spirit tool alchemy furnace he had inally acquired was sold, and now that Xiao Long had advao Demon General, such low-grade spirit tools were of no help in his alchemy.
Xiao Long took out the herbs and used his True Qi to dense a fme alchemy furhen employed the Nine-Dragon Fire trol Method to begin refining pills.
After advang to Demon General, Xiao Long's pill refining speed signifitly increased. Coupled with the sixth level of the Azure Dragon Tome providing a tinuous supply of True Qi, it only took Xiao Long half a day to successfully produce two gxu Pills and five Qi densing Pills.
"Right, now that I have the system, do these pills still work on me?"
Xiao Long had pohis question during the au. He had inally po take a gxu Pill upourning to see if he could break through to Demon General with the pill's power. Uedly, the Fire Cloud Sect had given him a wave of experience, allowing him to directly break through to Demon General.
Now was a good time to test the Qi densing Pill.
Xiao Long tossed a Qi densing Pill into his mouth. As soon as the pill entered his body, it transformed into pure energy, quickly spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
[System prompt: You have ed a third-grade Qi densing Pill, gaining experience bonus.]
"You have gained 298 experience!"
"You have gained 316 experience!"
"You have gained 307 experience!"
