In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 13 Ways to Make Money

If we're really comparing him to top martial artists of the same age, Shen Xing had actually fallen far behind a month ago.

All I can say is that Juan really gave him a surprise this time.

"Actually, you didn't have to step forward." Juan said with a hint of helplessness at this point. "I'm also at the late stage of Skin Refining now. As long as I stick to the competition rules, I'm confident I can take down this gravity device."

"I know, but you've already done me a huge favor by helping me get this opportunity. I can't let you shoulder everything." Shen Xing changed the subject, then looked at him in surprise, "But you're already in the late stage of Skin Refinement? Goodness, you've only been in the Skin Refinement stage for half a month, right?"

"Yeah, you know... it's just..." Juan's sunny, handsome face showed a hint of embarrassment, "Ah Jiao helped me a lot."

"That's impressive too." Shen Xing clicked his tongue. "That young lady is truly in love with you. It seems I should be apologizing to her, not the other way around."

"Don't say that." Juan suddenly became serious and looked at Shen Xing very earnestly. "You are my best friend, and Ajiao is also a very important person to me. She was indeed wrong before, Axing, don't take it to heart."

"I know, I know, I told you before, I didn't care. Besides, with the way I used to be, let alone Gu Jiao, I wouldn't even look at myself now." Shen Xing waved his hand, indeed appearing completely indifferent.

It's not a big deal in itself.

Before awakening his past life memories, his martial arts will and training performance were indeed lacking, and Gu Jiao only said a few words about it.

After awakening his past life memories, Shen Xing naturally couldn't care less, which is why Juan always felt guilty.

"You've really changed a lot," Juan remarked with some emotion. "When I saw you step forward and throw that punch, I wondered if you'd become a completely different person."

As his childhood best friend, Shen Xing's changes were indeed too drastic in his eyes.

However, Shen Xing simply shook his head: "I just suddenly understood some things. People always grow. You've changed a lot since you were a child."

He is a reincarnation, not a possession. His previous body was also him, and his emotions and memories are still there, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.

"Indeed." Juan paused for a moment, then smiled. "We've all grown up."

"Yeah," Shen Xing said with a chuckle, "Who would have thought that you, a snotty-nosed girl who would blush when talking to girls, would now be hooking up with rich women."

"Stop teasing me. Ah Jiao is under a lot of pressure too. The competition at Bailing School is even more intense than ours. Rather than her helping me, I'd rather help her." Juan shook his head helplessly, then seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to Shen Xing. "That Tan Feihong only arrived last weekend and is in the late stage of Skin Refining. He still has a lot of room for improvement before reaching the Muscle Refining stage. Moreover, he comes from a wealthy family and trains very hard. I still have some Vitality Pills for your bet."

"No need, no need." Shen Xing interrupted Hu An with a smile. "As the old saying goes, you can help in an emergency, but not in poverty. The gravity device is exactly what I need, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll skip the Vitality Pill. Besides, I'm not poor right now."

Juan looked somewhat confused.

But Shen Xing didn't explain further.

He did want to provide Juan with some pills, but the problem was that he couldn't be completely sure at the moment whether the materials used in those otherworldly pills could be found in the Federation.

Therefore, Shen Xing cannot take it out casually.

If it were discovered that it contained ingredients that could not be found in the entire Federation of Humanities, that would be no joke.

At the very least, one must have the money to purchase testing equipment and confirm that these otherworldly pills can also be produced within the Human Federation before one can confidently give them to others for use.

However, this brings us back to the current challenge.

—No money.

Forget about testing equipment, if he had enough federal currency, he wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble for this gravity device today. He had just checked and found that a level 2 citizen could purchase this type of gravity device.

However, the price is indeed expensive.

Even the basic model costs millions.

"Tell me," Shen Xing said, looking at Juan, "can you sell the basic elemental liquid you've prepared yourself?"

This idea didn't just pop into my head. After all, the basic essence liquid has a very simple composition. It is said to be made from "herbs grown in areas rich in vital energy", but in reality, it is just extracting the vital energy from the herbs. Essentially, it is just a nutrient solution containing vital energy. The container used is also specially made to limit the loss of vital energy to the greatest extent.

From this perspective, if we can find a way to extract the vital energy from the pills in the other world, we can indeed prepare our own basic vital essence.

Extracting vital energy and filtering out the original components of the pill is not a difficult task, and some types of pills are very suitable for doing so.

For example, the Guiyuan Pill.

Unlike the Blood Spirit Pill, which can accelerate the circulation of Qi and blood and replenish the energy needed by the human body, and unlike the Hundred Herbs Pill, which can enhance the spirit and soul, this kind of pill, which Shen Xing had tried a couple of days ago, simply provides vital energy.

Its properties are similar to the Vitality Pill that Teacher Li gave him before, except that it contains more Vitality.

One Vitality Pill is roughly equivalent to fifteen bottles of Basic Vitality Liquid, and its official price has already reached 100,000 Federal Coins. One Returning Vitality Pill can provide Vitality equivalent to about thirty bottles of Basic Vitality Liquid!

If sold separately, it could fetch at least 250,000.

A sophisticated testing instrument with material composition detection capabilities only costs around two million, which is equivalent to the price of a bottle of Guiyuan Pill.

"Making your own basic Yuan liquid?" Juan gave Shen Xing an unexpected answer. "You mean using Yuan Qi extraction equipment to dilute Yuan Qi Pills, which are rich in Yuan Qi, into a dozen or so basic Yuan liquids? Of course, that's possible. Many upperclassmen who crave luxury do that because the demand for basic Yuan liquids on the academy's home planet is greater, and they sell better."

"A lot of students do this?"

"Yes," Juan explained. "The official price of basic Yuan Liquid is five thousand yuan, but in reality, there is a severe shortage outside the Martial Academy. Students who failed to join the Martial Academy or were eliminated by it are even willing to spend more than ten thousand yuan to buy it. They don't even require it to be an official product; they just need it to have a qualified Yuan Qi content and be non-toxic and harmless. Selling Yuan Qi Pills directly doesn't earn much more. After all, not many students outside can afford to spend tens of thousands of yuan at once. Although we students at the Martial Academy also have demand, we won't overcharge too much."

"I see." Shen Xing said with a hint of realization.
