Open up and break into another world

“Double Attack: Consumes Enhancement Points to multiply your attack power. The higher the attack power increase, the more Enhancement Points are consumed; as long as you have enough Enhancement Points, theoretically, attack power can be increased infinitely! The minimum attack power increase is 1x, consuming Enhancement Points equivalent to ten days of offline cultivation at your current level.”

“Double Defense: Consumes Enhancement Points to multiply your defense power. The higher the defense power increase, the more Enhancement Points are consumed; as long as you have enough Enhancement Points, theoretically, defense can be increased infinitely! The minimum defense power increase is 1x, consuming Enhancement Points equivalent to ten days of offline cultivation at your current level.”

“Accelerate: Consumes Enhancement Points to increase speed. The higher the speed increase, the more Enhancement Points are consumed; as long as you have enough Enhancement Points, theoretically, speed can be increased infinitely! The minimum speed increase is 0.1x, consuming Enhancement Points equivalent to ten days of offline cultivation at your current level.”

“Invisibility: Each use consumes Enhancement Points equivalent to one hundred days of offline cultivation at your current level, ignoring physical attacks. If the host actively attacks others, the invisibility state will be terminated. The invisibility state lasts for a maximum of twelve hours.”

Excellent!

Very powerful!

This was Xu Ming's evaluation of the advanced functions of the Cheat.

“It's just… these Enhancement Points don't seem to last very long!”

Xu Ming currently had a total of fifty to sixty thousand taels of gold; such wealth definitely qualified him as a 'rich man'. If all the gold were converted into Enhancement Points, it would be approximately six thousand, enough for Xu Ming to cultivate offline all the way to the Connate stage!

However, if he used the advanced functions of the Cheat, Xu Ming's Enhancement Points would really feel stretched.

Xu Ming was currently at the Sixth Stage of Outer Refinement, requiring 6 Grade 1 Enhancement Points per day of offline cultivation.

Therefore, Xu Ming would have to spend 600 Enhancement Points to activate Invisibility once! If he activated Invisibility ten times, he would be completely bankrupt!

For example, activating the Acceleration Cheat at 0.1x wasn't expensive; only 60 Enhancement Points for twelve hours, a mere trifle. But how much effect would 0.1x acceleration have? If he accelerated by 0.2x, it would cost 120 Enhancement Points; accelerating by 0.3x would cost 240 Enhancement Points; 0.4x, 480 Enhancement Points… Each additional 0.1x of acceleration doubled the cost of Enhancement Points; if Xu Ming accelerated to 1x, it would cost…

More than thirty thousand Enhancement Points!!

And Xu Ming, with everything he had, only had a little over six thousand Enhancement Points!

Similarly, the Enhancement Points consumed by Double Attack and Double Defense were the same as Acceleration; the more you increased, the more the Enhancement Points consumed doubled!

Finally, Xu Ming turned his attention to what he was most interested in—the Divine Artifact Shop.

“The Divine Artifact Shop contains everything imaginable. Here, you can buy everything in this universe, whether it exists or not! The prerequisite is that you have enough Enhancement Points! Currently, due to the host's cultivation level, the Divine Artifact Shop only offers items that can be purchased with Grade 1 Enhancement Points,” the Cheat explained.

“Uh… you can buy everything?” Xu Ming was stunned. “This is simply a cash shop from a game!”

Many online games had cash shops. Players who spent real money could get everything; while ordinary players had to grind monsters, do quests, and clear dungeons from dawn till dusk, working hard for half a year, only to get one or two treasures from the cash shop.

And Xu Ming was probably the only person in this world who could use the “cash shop”! Other people, no matter how much money they had, would have to rack their brains to find ways to collect rare treasures if they wanted them.

Inside the Divine Artifact Shop, various items were categorized: weapons, pills, runes, formations, books, techniques, secret skills, puppets… The names of the major categories alone were numerous; Xu Ming looked at them for a long time before skimming through them from beginning to end.

And these were just the items that could be purchased with Grade 1 Enhancement Points. When Xu Ming's cultivation level rose and the Divine Artifact Shop was fully opened, there would definitely be more than just these few major categories.

“Attribute Stones? What are those?” Xu Ming suddenly saw a major category called “Attribute Stones” and couldn't help but curiously click on it.

After clicking in, there was a subcategory called “Grade 1 Attribute Stones”. Xu Ming guessed that there must also be Grade 2 Attribute Stones, Grade 3 Attribute Stones, and other subcategories, but he couldn't see them yet.

Clicking again into the “Grade 1 Attribute Stones” subcategory, Xu Ming saw three treasures here:

“Grade 1 Strength Stone: Permanently increases strength, priced at 1000 Grade 1 Enhancement Points. Limited to one hundred stones per person, further use is ineffective.”

“Grade 1 Agility Stone: Permanently increases agility, priced at 1000 Grade 1 Enhancement Points. Limited to one hundred stones per person, further use is ineffective.”

“Grade 1 Wisdom Stone: Permanently increases wisdom, priced at 1000 Grade 1 Enhancement Points. Limited to one hundred stones per person, further use is ineffective.”

Xu Ming pondered, “Permanently increases strength, agility, and wisdom? And they're so expensive, costing 1000 Enhancement Points each!”

All of Xu Ming's wealth was only enough to buy six stones.

However, Xu Ming knew that, apart from himself, other people in this world, no matter how much money they had, probably couldn't get even half of an Attribute Stone.

“Should I… try one?”

A thousand Enhancement Points was a significant number; however, Xu Ming didn't find it difficult to earn Enhancement Points, so he didn't feel much heartache when using them. With a try-it-out mentality, he bought a Grade 1 Strength Stone.

“Purchase successful!”

With a thought from Xu Ming, a goose egg-sized red stone with densely packed, complex patterns engraved on it appeared in his hand.

“Use!”

Following the fluctuations coming from the Strength Stone, Xu Ming slightly exerted force in his hand, and the Strength Stone shattered. Mysterious energies sealed within the Strength Stone flowed out along the cracks and directly merged into Xu Ming's skin upon contact.

In a moment, the entire Strength Stone turned into nothingness, not even leaving any powder. And Xu Ming suddenly felt that his strength had increased significantly!

This was a very clear feeling, as if he had been sickly and suddenly become full of energy.

Xu Ming carefully felt it for a while: “My strength has probably increased by more than thirty percent!”

Thirty percent strength, and it's a permanent increase!

Xu Ming could only say that these thousand Enhancement Points were simply too worth it!

When Lin Muqing took forbidden drugs at the time, it only temporarily increased all aspects by fifty percent, and then he was weak for half a day; while Xu Ming's thirty percent strength was a permanent increase!

Xu Ming was already five times stronger than ordinary Sixth Stage Outer Refinement martial artists in all aspects because he cultivated the 'Severing Mortal Dust'. Now, with a thirty percent increase in strength on top of that, Xu Ming had barely reached the threshold of the Early Inner Refinement stage in terms of strength alone!

“Moreover, the strength increased each time a Strength Stone is used is a fixed value. If I use ten Strength Stones, then my strength can reach four times its original value!”

Four times the original strength, that was already the strength of a Mid-Inner Refinement martial artist.

“But… I’m still too poor!” Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh. After using a Strength Stone, he only had the equivalent of five thousand Hanging Points worth of gold left. “Only offline leveling is the most cost-effective. I should just honestly level up first! Once my strength is high enough, earning money will naturally become easier. Then, I’ll consider using Attribute Stones to increase my strength.”

Hanging Points must be used wisely!

There was another major category that Xu Ming was very interested in.

“Realm? Could it be that even realms can be directly purchased?”

Xu Ming clicked into this category called “Realm.” There were no subcategories, and there was only one item—Entry-Level Realm!

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you might see something that touches your heart, and you might suddenly have an epiphany and enter the Entry-Level realm. But if you only have comprehension and no luck, you might get stuck in a logical dead end and never comprehend it.

Like Xu Ming, although his realm had improved compared to when he first arrived in this other world, when it came to the Entry-Level realm, Xu Ming couldn't predict when he would truly comprehend it.

But now, the “Entry-Level Realm” was lying in the Artifact Shop, looking like it was ready to be picked. However, it required Level One Hanging Points… one hundred thousand!

“Holy crap, never mind!” One hundred thousand Level One Hanging Points, equivalent to one million gold, this price made Xu Ming feel dizzy.

However, Xu Ming was really curious. Once his realm reached Entry-Level, how powerful would “Perfect Battle” be when activated again? Would he come into contact with a realm beyond Entry-Level?

Afterward, Xu Ming also saw Greater Mastery-level spear techniques, movement techniques, sword techniques, and the like available for purchase in other categories. Of course, they were all expensive!

There were even puppets whose strength was comparable to Half-Step Xiantian. As long as you had money, you could have as many as you wanted!

Xu Ming couldn't help but fantasize that if he had endless gold, he would buy ten thousand Half-Step Xiantian puppets and directly rule the Feiyun Kingdom.

In short, in this Artifact Shop, as long as you had enough cultivation and enough Hanging Points, you could get everything!

“Uh… cultivation? Hanging Points? I should just bury my head and level up!”

…

Unknowingly, Xu Ming had been in this other world for a month.

The curfew in the capital had been lifted, but Lin Muqing no longer had the ability to attack Xu Ming.

Now, Xu Ming's strength had reached the Initial Inner Training stage. With Perfect Battle activated, he feared no one in the Mid Inner Training stage. If he was willing to pay the price, he could even directly face someone in the Late Inner Training stage!

With so many advantages, Xu Ming naturally didn't regard Lin Muqing as a threat. He just needed to wait for the right opportunity, and it would be Lin Muqing's death.

And that poor Wu Gaofeng… Wu Gaofeng later came to Xu Ming several times, hoping that Xu Ming could return to the Feiyun Martial Pavilion, and promised all kinds of benefits. Unfortunately, Xu Ming was too lazy to even acknowledge him. In the end, Wu Gaofeng, forced to the end of his rope, even attacked Xu Ming; however, as soon as he made a move, an elder from the Savage Martial Academy arrived and slapped him half to death.

Then, Xu Ming heard that Wu Gaofeng had been imprisoned by Cao Haishan, the Enforcement Elder of the Feiyun Martial Pavilion. As for what happened after that, he didn't know.

“A’Kai, are you going out on a mission again?” Xu Ming raised his glass, clinked it, and asked.

Xu Ming, Xu Kai, and Sun Ji often drank together. The friendship between straightforward men also deepened quickly; Xu Ming had already regarded Xu Kai and Sun Ji as his brothers from the bottom of his heart!

Although these two brothers were not as strong as him, and seemed like they could never help him, what did it matter? Did they have to be valuable to be brothers and friends? No, those were just fair-weather friends!

“Yes, leaving tomorrow!” Xu Kai said.

“Just bear with it in the Cloud Rising Guard for a few more days!” Xu Ming said. “Wen Shuai is already working his connections. In a while, he’ll transfer you from the Cloud Rising Guard to his side. Then, you can just eat, drink, and have fun every day!”

The army has its rules. Xu Kai is still a member of the Feiyun Army’s Cloud Rising Guard. If he leaves without permission, he will be treated as a deserter. And the Third Prince, Wen Shuai, doesn’t have a good relationship with the Cloud Rising Guard, so he is trying to find a way to transfer Xu Kai out through other friends.

“Eat, drink, and have fun every day? How can that be!” Xu Kai said. “Xiao Ming, you’re so powerful now. As your brother, I can’t be too embarrassing! When the time comes, I must ask Wen Shuai to help me find a good master. I must cultivate diligently! If I can't catch up to you, at least I can't be too far behind!”

“Haha! Okay!” Xu Ming said. “When the time comes, I’ll get you a Storage Ring!”

Xu Kai's current strength is too weak, and he is in the army. If he wears a Storage Ring, it would be tantamount to courting death—a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

“I’ll give you my Storage Ring then, Brother Kai!” Sun Ji said.

“Go, go, go! Who wants your Storage Ring!” Xu Kai said with a laugh. “And I don’t have much use for it anyway!”

The three were drinking happily when a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

“Haha, you three, sure enough, you’re hiding here drinking! You have wine to drink, but you didn’t even call me!”

“Aren’t we afraid that Prince Wen is too busy to drink with us commoners?” Xu Ming said with a smile.

The one who came was none other than the Third Prince, Wen Shuai.

“Nonsense!” Wen Shuai pulled up a chair, sat down with a thud, and joined the drinking circle.

The four brothers drank happily, regardless of status or cultivation.

“By the way!” Wen Shuai suddenly smiled mysteriously. “Follow me tomorrow if you’re free. I’ll take you to a good place!”

“A good place? Brothel?” Xu Kai's eyes lit up, then dimmed. “Unfortunately, I have to go out on a mission tomorrow.”

“Get lost! Have you ever heard of a prince going to a brothel?” Sun Ji scolded. “If you’re going, of course you’re going to a courtesan house! Only such elegant places are worthy of Third Prince Wen’s status, right!”

Wen Shuai wasn’t annoyed, he just lightly said a term that Xu Ming and the others hadn’t heard: “Treasure Competition!”
