Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

After the deal was struck, Xiang Bei did not rush to leave, but instead purchased some more treasures.

For example, there is something called "Purple Sound Fruit," which can assist a level nine apprentice, or a high-level war god, in their cultivation. After consuming it, there is a high probability that it will help a level nine apprentice break through to the planetary level.

The price wasn't high either, only 6 silver blue coins per piece. Xiang Bei looked at it and found it was much cheaper than the Wood Sprout Crystal, which could also help people upgrade to the planetary level, even though the level difference was dozens of times.

However, the uses of Wood Sprout Crystal go far beyond that; its primary function is not to help apprentice martial artists advance in their cultivation.

In the original work, Babata also said that using wood bud crystals to advance is a waste and an extravagant act.

Therefore, it is understandable that wood bud crystals are more expensive.

For Xiang Bei, the "Purple Sound Fruit" was much more cost-effective, so he bought 20 of them in one go.

There's no other way; there are many people in my family, and even with 20 Purple Sound Fruits, it's only 120 million Silver Blue Coins.

Xiang Bei then bought another 1000 kilograms of Purple Light Dew, a beverage that is only found in the hands of ordinary wealthy people in the universe.

However, on Earth, this thing becomes a powerful tool to aid in cultivation. About 15 milliliters can help a student at an advanced martial arts school become a quasi-martial artist.

It also has the effect of assisting in training during the warrior stage.

15 ml of Purple Light Dew weighs only 10 grams, which means that one kilogram of Purple Light Dew is enough to make 100 advanced martial arts students become quasi-martial artists.

1000 kilograms of Purple Light Dew can turn 10 people into martial artists.

With these resources, the Xia Kingdom could even assemble a warrior army of 10 men.

Most importantly, this stuff is cheap. Even in a place like Judongxing, the price is only 1200 silver blue coins per kilogram, and 1000 kilograms would only cost 1.2 million silver blue coins.

After buying these, Xiang Bei went to Jiuzhenlou to look at suitable weapons.

After all, he has now become a planetary-level martial artist, and SSS-level weapons on Earth are no longer very suitable for him.

In the end, Xiang Bei chose a second-tier mid-grade Force weapon that resembled a crescent halberd on Earth.

It is worth 2000 million Black Dragon Coins.

Despite its extreme price, Xiang Bei still bought it.

After all, for a martial artist, weapons and armor are their second life.

The difference in combat effectiveness between those with weapons and those without is enormous.

With a Tier 2 weapon, Xiang Bei's strength can be utilized at 120%.

Of course, the price was that two-thirds of the 3000 million Black Dragon Coins he had just received evaporated in an instant.

However, Xiang Bei did not regret it. A second-tier Force weapon was enough for him to use until he reached the cosmic level.

Before this point, Xiang Bei no longer needed to change his weapons.

After completing all the purchases, Xiang Bei left Jiuzhenlou and then went to Qianwu Daoguan in Judongxing.

The Qianwu Dojo is a martial arts and spiritualist 'school' in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, serving as an important channel for absorbing a large number of martial arts and spiritualists!

Furthermore, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom prohibits any other martial arts schools or dojos from spreading their teachings within its vast territory spanning hundreds of millions of star systems across its entire star sector!

There is only one Qianwu Taoist temple within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!

Of course, if a domain lord or realm lord resides on their own planet, and others specifically travel to become their disciples, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom certainly won't interfere!

but!

Domain lords, realm lords, and even immortal powerhouses are all strictly forbidden from building martial arts schools and recruiting disciples on various planets.

Therefore, Qianwu Dojos exist on almost every important planet in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and Judong Star is no exception.

However, in a place like Judongxing, the Qianwu Dojo is only the lowest-level branch.

The owner of the museum is only a ninth-level spiritualist.

Even so, the Qianwu Dojo holds an extremely high status on Torch East Star. Even the planet's governor can only bow down and fawn over the dojo's leader.

After all, the gap between the Silver Blue Empire and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is enormous, and any force bearing the Qianwu Empire's label is one they cannot afford to offend.

There was a reason why Xiang Bei chose the Qianwu Dojo. Unlike Luo Feng in the original story, Xiang Bei did not have the inheritance of Hu Yanbo or the Golden Horned Beast.

Xiang Bei is now a complete nobody, so any inheritance is extremely precious to him.

For Xiang Bei, a place like the Qianwu Dojo, where he could receive a stable education, was extremely important!

Therefore, Xiang Bei will stay at the Qianwu Taoist Temple for a period of time to learn cultivation techniques and traditions in the universe.

Even if he comes to the universe later, he will most likely stay at the Inui Dojo.

Entering the Inui Dojo

This place is practically a small city on Judong Star. Compared to the previous Jiuzhen Tower and the Administrative Building, it's nothing.

Even any building in the Qianwu Taoist Temple is not much inferior to the Jiuzhenlou mansion.

Xiang Bei had witnessed firsthand the formidable strength of the Qianwu Taoist Temple.

Unfortunately, this Dry Witch Dojo does not have any cosmic-level Dry Witch practitioners.

If it existed, this Qianwu Dojo would be a thousand times more prosperous than it is now.

"Knock knock knock"

Inside an office building. Xiang Bei knocked on the door.

"Come in." A female voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out, and the door opened.

However, the person sitting inside was almost as fat as a ball, covered in short pink hair. If the person hadn't been dressed as a woman, he really wouldn't have been able to tell their gender.

However, Xiang Bei suppressed his astonishment. After all, there were all kinds of races in the universe, even pig-headed people. This one was just a bit fat and had pink hair, so it wasn't anything to be surprised about.

"I'm here to register," Xiang Bei stated his purpose simply and clearly.

"Wait," the pink-haired man glanced at Xiang Bei, giving him no chance to communicate, and directly operated the machine to check.

"drop."

Instantly, all the information Xiang Bei had just registered at the administration building appeared on the pink-haired man's machine.

"Xiang Bei, a first-tier planetary-level martial artist, is a citizen of the Silver Blue Empire."

"Well, the registration fee is 80 silver blue coins. If you want to continue studying at my Qianwu Dojo, you'll need to pay 1 silver blue coins every year." The pink-haired man glanced at Xiang Bei indifferently, not taking Xiang Bei, a newcomer who had only just reached the first level of planetary cultivation, seriously at all.

"Okay." Xiang Bei nodded, not caring about the pink-haired man's attitude. Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was a ninth-level planetary expert, even stronger than Thor, Hong, and others.

"This is 100 million silver blue coins. Besides the registration fee, it's also to cover my 20-year renewal fee. Thank you," Xiang Bei said with a smile.

"Hmm." The pink-haired man nodded, then ignored Xiang Bei and went on to do something else, finally tossing Xiang Bei a card representing the identity of the Qianwu Dojo.

This means that from now on, Xiang Bei is a member of the Qianwu Dojo and is qualified to study there.

Of course, the so-called learning might just involve listening to some free open classes at the Qianwu Dojo.

Learn some basic spiritual traditions.

If you want to learn more advanced techniques, you'll need to spend money to purchase them from the Qianwu Dojo.
