Chapter 2 Ch-2: System Shop, Heavenly Sword Art

[ Ding..dong ]

[ Cultivation shop has been unlocked as the user has entered the path of cultivation ]

' Cultivation shop ' Wang Ming's eyes widened in shock and quickly checked out the Cultivation shop

He could see hundreds of Cultivation techniques, pills and artifacts of different ranks all displayed in the cultivation shop

He remembered that even though he was now a cultivator he did not have any offensive techniques or any kind of weapon which he could use to protect himself

He quickly surfed through the shop to find the technique and weapon that he liked the most and after searching for some time something finally caught his attention

< Cultivation Shop >

< Cultivation Shop Level:1 (Note: Breakthrough to the Golden Core realm to upgrade the shop and unlock new items) >

[ Heavenly Sword Art- First Form - Flickering Strikes ]

[ Type: Technique ]

[ Rank: Ancient ]

[ Description: A powerful sword technique that uses high-speed movement and strikes to attack the enemy in critical places, the speed is so great that it makes the user seem that he is teleporting around the battlefield ]

[Cost: 100,000 Dual Cultivation points ]

[ Flowing flower sword ]

[ Type: Weapon ]

[ Rank: Heaven]

[ Grade: Peak ]

[ Cost: 50,000 Dual Cultivation points ]

There were many techniques of various grades but the most powerful and expensive one was the Ancient Rank technique, if he bought lower grade techniques he could have bought more than one technique but he believes in quality over quantity so he decided to spend most of his Dual Cultivation Points in buying the Ancient Rank Technique, and with his leftover Dual Cultivation Points he decided to buy a Heaven Rank Peak Grade Sword even though there were better options but with his remaining points he could only afford the Flowing Flower Sword

< Would you like to purchase the Ancient rank technique Heavenly Sword Art- First Form- Flickering Strikes and the Heaven Rank weapon Flowing Flower Sword? Yes/ No>

" Yes" Wang Ming confirmed his purchase

< You have purchased the Heavenly Sword Arts technique and Flowing Flower sword >

As the system confirmed his purchase all the Dual Cultivation points he received from the starter pack disappeared in the blink of an eye

He felt a slight sting in his brain as the manual and the understanding of Heavenly Sword Art were directly transferred to his brain and even though he was expecting it to be powerful he was left speechless when he finally learned the technique

" As expected of an Ancient Rank Technique" Wang Ming muttered to himself

Then a sword appeared in his right hand which had flower patterns carved on the steel blade, Wang Ming could feel the power radiating from the sword when he grabbed the hilt of the sword

" Even though it was not the best of the weapons in the store a Heaven Rank weapon cannot be underestimated " Wang Ming muttered to himself

Wang Ming's eyes then drifted to the part of the Cultivation shop where it said that it was currently at level 1 and the requirement to upgrade it is to reach the Golden Core Realm

'Hmm, I still need to break through to the Foundation Realm and Core Formation before reaching the Golden Core Realm' Wang Ming thought to himself as he remembered from the information provided by the system that the Foundation Realm and Core Formation Realm were the realms after the Qi Gathering Realm and then was the Golden Core Realm

" Looks I have a lot of work ahead of me" Wang Ming muttered and brought out the low-grade spirit stones which he received from the starter pack provided by the system

He took the spirit stones and started crushing them in his palms and spiritual energy started flowing towards his body and started to be absorbed by his body, and at the same time his Primordial Physique Merging Body started working to refine the impure spiritual energy to pure spiritual energy

< Primordial Physique Merging Body activated >

< Primordial Physique Merging Body is refining impure spiritual energy to pure spiritual energy>

< You have reached the 11th Order of Qi Gathering Realm >

< You have reached the 12th Order of Qi Gathering Realm >

Wang Ming felt a warm feeling coursing through his body and felt he became stronger again but was a bit disappointed that he only had broken through two orders

" Hey, system why did I break through only two orders which are low compared to when I absorbed the Yang Physique?" Wang Ming asked

< Message: Sprit stones mostly contain very low amounts of spiritual energy which is mostly formed of impure spiritual energy. When absorbing a physique through the Primordial Physique Merging Body as all the Physiques in the world contain spiritual energy which is hundreds of times more compared to even the highest grade of spirit stones and are mostly pure spiritual energy, for that reason the user gains a faster rate and larger breakthrough when absorbing a physique >

He understood the reason behind it and was thinking about how he could gain more physiques to absorb and if there is an alternative way to get powerful faster other than absorbing physiques

" System is there any other effective way to become powerful rather than absorbing physiques or spirit stones and does the Cultivation Shop provide physiques to buy for me to absorb, " Wang Ming said as he had hoped the system would provide him physiques

< Message: Physiques will be available to the user in the Cultivation Shop when the shop reaches a higher level >

< Message: As the user has absorbed the Pure Yang Physique, he can engage in Dual Cultivation with female cultivators and absorb their Yin Qi which has higher spiritual energy compared to spirit stones, higher the cultivation of the female cultivator more the spiritual energy their Yin QI has>

Wang Ming was ecstatic when he saw the message as it completely slipped from his mind, he could hit two birds with one stone as the Dual Cultivation system gives him Dual cultivation points when he engages in sexual activity with a female, and due to the Pure Yang Physique that he absorbed through Primordial Physique Merging Body he can absorb their Yin Qi for spiritual energy, and moreover the system said he will be able to buy physiques from the Cultivation shop when he upgrades it and the requirement to level it up was to reach higher realms

He was confident that he could reach higher realms easily through Dual Cultivation and he was sure from the new looks that he gained from absorbing the Pure Yang Physique no woman could resist his charms moreover he got some powerful abilities from the Pure Yang physique which were the best to please women

'Hmm, according to what I remember the sect entrance test of various sects should happen in a month's time, and Yin-Yang sect, one of the 3 most powerful sects of the Black Bamboo Empire, which is a Dual Cultivation sect that contains the most beautiful and handsome in the entire empire and is an ideal place for Dual Cultivators and the only requirement is that a Cultivator needs to have good looks and know how to please their partners both in which I am confident in' Wang Ming thought to himself

'I think I should first visit the Red Light district to improve my cultivation and earn some Dual Cultivation points not to mention for someone like me who has good looks and has the best abilities to please women, it is also a good source to way earn spirit stones which is also used as a form of currency in this world and even though it is not much of aid to me I will definitely need money as I am currently broke' Wang Ming thought to himself

He then looked at the sword in his hands and a desire to test his new technique bloomed in his mind

"Let's see what this technique can do in action" Wang Ming said to himself as he disappeared from his spot to search for some beasts to kill

After some time he arrived in front of a horde of monsters and the group of monsters munching on a corpse, noticing his presence they glared with unhidden killing intent which was being released from their body accompanied by a loud roar

ROAR

A herd of blue wolves with blue skin and a horn on their forehead charged toward him

Wang Ming recognized these beasts that were called 'Blue Horned Wolves' that were the most common and ferocious beasts that were in the foundation realm

Wang Ming took a deep breath to calm his tense nerves, even though he knew he had a powerful technique his nerves could help but tighten seeing the ferocious creatures rushing towards him, and muttered the technique

" Heavenly Sword Art- First Form- Flickering Strikes " as soon as the word left his mouth he instantly disappeared from his spot and started butchering the herd of wolves at insane speed

When he was done, only severed heads and limbs could be seen everywhere while the ground was soaked in blood

" Holy Shit this is too overpowered" Wang Ming's mouth opened and closed several times
