"Should I just purchase the Undying Golden Body first?"
After some deliberation, Chen Fan made up his mind.
Buying the Wisdom Scripture of All Methods isn’t a bad idea, but he already acquired the Sun Observation Technique, which could enhance spiritual power. Its effectiveness undoubtedly surpasses this cultivation technique.
However, to elevate the Sun Observation Technique to the Perfection Realm requires experience points probably ten times more than the Moon Observation Technique.
It’s better to accumulate enough experience points while simultaneously completing the Undying Golden Body; sharpening the axe won’t delay the chopping of firewood.
Most importantly, cultivating the Undying Golden Body early will greatly increase his survival chances when the Beast Tide arrives.
Wisdom Scripture of All Methods and other supreme martial arts can be set aside for later.
"Then I’ll purchase these two supreme martial arts first."
Chen Fan clicked confirm, and his twenty-two to twenty-three thousand points quickly reduced by twenty thousand.
In less than a minute after the purchase was completed, his email received an internal message.
Opening it, he found the Sun Observation Technique and the incomplete Undying Golden Body.
Chen Fan immediately downloaded and reviewed them, and his skill bar added two new entries.
[Sun Observation Technique: Completely Ignorant (0%)]
[Undying Golden Body (incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)]
He then clicked on the latter, nodded after a moment.
To complete the Undying Golden Body, he needed to fulfill two conditions.
First, Golden Bell Shield must be cultivated to the 11th floor.
Second, Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill must be cultivated to the Great Success Realm.
"Seems like I’ll need to further enhance my Golden Bell Shield skill level."
Chen Fan murmured to himself.
Elevating Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to the Perfection Realm is undoubtedly necessary.
Since that’s the case, why not improve Golden Bell Shield to the 12th floor as well?
Chen Fan thought to himself. Once he elevates the Undying Golden Body to the Perfection Realm, will these three techniques undergo some seamless changes, fusing together like a pill formula?
If they truly can fuse, then the cultivation gate of the Undying Golden Body?
"Forget it, it’s too early to consider these now. Let’s first gather enough experience points to elevate Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill, Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and Sun Observation Technique to their highest realms."
Chen Fan said as he exited the cultivation technique section.
Just as he was about to leave entirely, he noticed the special items section and clicked on it.
Sure enough, just like the cultivation techniques, this section also unlocked many new things.
Most of them were similar to previous items but more effective and more expensive.
Chen Fan’s eyes searched thoroughly and quickly found what he wanted.
Large Space Item: Storage space of 100 cubic meters, priced at 100,000 points.
"A hundred cubic meters?"
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up; this price didn’t seem too high?
A medium space item with ten cubic meters of storage space costs 20,000 points.
The large space item offers ten times the space, yet the price only increased fivefold.
"When I have enough points, I must buy one, or perhaps one with even larger space."
Chen Fan mused to himself.
A ten cubic meter space item can hold materials from elite-level fierce beasts, but for commander-level fierce beasts, one or two would be the limit.
Luckily, he had several such items, which made things easier.
He glanced at other items; they were great, just out of funds.
Chen Fan exited the store and looked at the map.
A thousand miles away, there was a ruined city called Huang City.
Ten years ago, this city was a third-tier city with a population of over a million; today, it was occupied by two commander-level fierce beasts and over a hundred elite-level fierce beasts.
According to previous information, the city was occupied by two ordinary commander-level fierce beasts, Bloodthirsty Grey Wolves.
Among ordinary commander-level fierce beasts, they were average, far inferior to the Strong Demon Ape. But once they smelled blood, be it human or beast, they would immediately become frenzied, significantly boosting their strength.
Most elite-level fierce beasts in the city were Bloodthirsty Wolves, a type of high-level elite fierce beast known for their speed.
"Let’s go there."
Chen Fan put away his phone and strided back towards the villa.
As he was about to arrive, he noticed an unusual situation.
Several figures gathered on the outskirts of the city, discussing something. Along the path to Huang City, there were corpses of high-level fierce beasts.
Chen Fan furrowed his brow, wondering if he was late. Then he thought to himself, "Such ruins aren’t owned by anyone. If everyone stays out of each other’s way, it’s fine. But if anyone causes trouble, I won’t be lenient."
He planned to bypass these people and enter the city from another direction.
The people in the distance noticed him.
Unexpectedly, the leader greeted him with a wave.
"Friend, could you come over for a moment?"
The speaker wore a kind smile.
Chen Fan paused, bewildered.
Is he talking to me?
Seeing Chen Fan stop, the middle-aged man raised his voice, "Friend, it won’t take long."
Curious, Chen Fan decided to approach and see what these people were up to.
There were five people, three men and two women, all looking somewhat disheveled.
Three were older, in their thirties or forties, and a pair of young adults, barely in their twenties.
The young woman held a long sword, her aura transcendent, giving the impression she had stepped out of a painting.
Chen Fan glanced at her twice.
The young woman frowned and turned her head away.
The nearby middle-aged woman also seemed displeased.
The young man aside them looked at Chen Fan’s masked face and sneered.
Another square-faced middle-aged man had a cold attitude.
Only the person who greeted him appeared friendly, with a relatively high status.
"Do you need something from me?"
Chen Fan stood dozens of meters away, looking at the friendly middle-aged man with a buzz cut.
The man glanced at Chen Fan’s bow and arrows, smiled, and asked, "Friend, judging by your earlier actions, you must be here for the fierce beasts inside, right?"
Chen Fan remained silent.
The expressions of the people around him grew displeased.
The young man was about to say something but was stopped by the middle-aged man’s glance.
"Hehehe."
The middle-aged man smiled nonchalantly and said, "Friend, don’t worry. We are from the Jiangdong Martial Arts Association, here for the fierce beasts as well. If you are here for the same reason, perhaps we can collaborate?"
"No, thank you."
Chen Fan refused without hesitation.
He thought there might be something special when asked to come over.
Just two commander-level fierce beasts? Even if their number doubled, he could still handle them all.
His words made the four others even more displeased.
"Old Liu, forget it."
The middle-aged man next to him frowned, "We were careless earlier. As long as we’re cautious this time, there won’t be any problems."
"Indeed, with just us, we can handle it," the middle-aged woman said while glaring at Chen Fan.
The man called Old Liu shook his head and continued, "Friend, you might not know the current situation inside is different from before.
Previously, there were only two commander-level fierce beasts and hundreds of elite-level ones. Their strength was strong but limited. However, the situation has changed today."
"Changed?"
Chen Fan asked instinctively.
"Yes,"
Liu Lin’s smile grew bitter, "Somehow a high-level commander-level fierce beast appeared, defeating the two original commander-level beasts, becoming the new leader.
We were unaware of this and charged in. Fortunately, we discovered it early, or the consequences would have been dire. When you arrived, we were discussing whether to retreat and explore other places or find a way to separate the three commander-level beasts for individual elimination."
"So now there are three commander-level fierce beasts inside?"
"Yes, one of them is the high-level commander-level Black Armored Earth Dragon. Not only does it have thick skin, but it also burrows underground to attack from unexpected angles, much harder to deal with than the two ordinary commander-level Bloodthirsty Grey Wolves."
"That’s quite good."
Chen Fan murmured.
"Ah?"
Not just the others, even Liu Lin’s smile froze.
Quite good?
What’s good about it?
To annihilate the two commander-level fierce beasts, they had prepared extensively. Apart from the president, several True Essence Realm martial artists from the association were present.
As expected, plans often change quicker than you’d expect.
The appearance of a high-level commander-level beast disrupted all their plans.
Continue? There’s a danger, potentially fatal.
Leave? The unwillingness gnaws at them.
"It’s nothing."
Chen Fan shook his head and glanced at Liu Lin, "Thanks for the information. I wouldn’t have known about the additional commander-level beast otherwise. Well, if you haven’t left by then, I’ll give you a gift as thanks."
"A gift as thanks?"
"What do you mean?"
The group looked at each other, puzzled by the masked man’s words.
Chen Fan smiled without explaining, heading forward.
"Friend!"
Liu Lin was shocked, instinctively reaching out, "There are three commander-level fierce beasts inside. It’s too dangerous for you alone! We also plan to hunt them, why not collaborate? More people, more power?"
Chen Fan waved his hand and walked away without looking back.
