Special Item

Because of the Legion Experience Infusion System, Xu Yue began using his Lieutenant Colonel authority in advance to check what the next mission would be.

If he needed to use a Designation Card to skip ahead directly into Naruto, then he would reserve more Plot Points. If it was a mission worth entering, then he would spend more.

Soon afterward, a prompt from the space appeared.

Since ancient times, demons had invaded the human world, taking human form and surviving by devouring human organs. Helpless against the demons, humanity could only turn to female warriors carrying massive swords on their backs. Because these warriors gained superhuman strength by mixing demon flesh and blood into their bodies, humans likewise regarded them as outsiders. They relied on them to slay demons, yet feared and rejected them at the same time, calling them "Claymores."

"Claymore? That’s a fairly typical scenario for formal Reincarnators and Veteran Reincarnators. Given its difficulty, it probably isn’t suitable for trainee Reincarnators either. It’s just a pity there aren’t any abilities in it that suit me."

After receiving the mission prompt, Xu Yue only weighed it briefly before deciding that this instance was a point-farming instance.

Furthermore, Designation Cards had a cooldown interval. Since it was merely a point-farming instance with nothing worth personally obtaining, he might as well use a Designation Card to skip it directly. That was the only way to ensure he could use a Designation Card again for his crucial Promotion Mission.

Having made his decision, Xu Yue merely filled up the Eight Inner Gates, then used a large number of C-Rank Plots and three B-Rank Plots to infuse Sealing Jutsu before stopping the infusion process.

Sealing Jutsu could be infused with C-Rank Plots because Xu Yue had already learned many Sealing Jutsu techniques that were only C-Rank in level. The infusion was simply meant to further solidify his foundation in Sealing Jutsu.

Flying Thunder God infusion, however, started at a minimum of A-Rank Plot Points. While reaching the level where he could use the Flying Thunder God Barrier would not be a loss, since he had decided to use a Designation Card to enter Naruto next, he might as well save those Plots to pick up some Wood Style in Naruto.

It was not as though he could not spend time deducing Flying Thunder God himself. He would certainly have the authority to access things like the notes and summaries left behind by the Second and Fourth Hokage.

Since he had decided to use his authority to enter Naruto again, Xu Yue also planned to pick up a few things at the auction house while selling that "Railgun" and some mecha components he had collected.

It was just a pity that while complete mechas from the Lelouch world at the Round Table Knight level might reach the A-Rank threshold, individual components could probably only sell for B-Rank at most.

Only things like Phase Conversion Armor and GN Particle Force Fields could probably reach A-Rank.

However, Xu Yue had originally wanted to see whether this auction had bloodline scrolls similar to Boil Release.

Perhaps such scrolls were too sought-after, too difficult to acquire, or perhaps the auction itself was simply too small, but there were none this time.

Shortly afterward, though, Xu Yue spotted another item that caught his attention.

Longevity Art: A miraculous item rumored to grant immortality through cultivation. One of the Four Great Books from the Great Tang vs. Sui Dynasty Conflict. Its material is mysterious, and it has produced two peak martial arts experts. Method of cultivation unknown. Sale price: 2 A-Rank Plot Points. It has changed hands 13 times; this is the first auction in its current transfer.

Because the three foundational martial arts spaces had been destroyed, although the Huaxia Zone’s Reincarnation Space still contained martial arts worlds like Great Tang, the difficulty and requirements for cultivation had undoubtedly risen greatly.

Most importantly, perhaps because The Twin Dragons of Great Tang was such a chaotic era of war, or for some other reason, it did not appear as a first newbie scenario.

Without the reasonable buff of newbie status, trying to play around with those old demons from both the righteous and demonic factions, none of whom were easy to deal with, it would already be good enough to learn something like the Five Tiger Broken Door Saber.

Without a foundation, how could one possibly cultivate something on the level of the Four Great Books?

Especially the Longevity Art, whose entry requirements were so bizarre.

Whether some big shot had obtained it, or someone had gotten lucky by digging up a tomb or something, the original owner had probably only put it up for auction after utterly failing to figure it out.

It had already changed hands thirteen times. This was the first auction after its thirteenth transfer, so who knew whether it would go unsold again.

Two A-Rank mission Plots were extremely expensive for ordinary Reincarnators, even Elite Reincarnators and some big shots. If one could be sure of learning something from it, that would be one thing, but they had to figure it out themselves.

The only reassuring part was that if they could not figure it out, they could probably sell it again and recover some of their losses.

However, Xu Yue only considered it for a moment before decisively choosing to buy it.

Were two A-Rank Plots important? Of course they were!

Even Xu Yue valued them greatly and was reluctant to use them for experience infusion. So long as he paired them with some space missions to lower the difficulty of acquiring them, A-Rank Plots could very likely obtain skills on the level of the Eight Inner Gates.

But at the same time, based on his own intuition, Xu Yue also wanted to try researching the Longevity Art.

Within the space, the vast majority probably believed that the Longevity Art could not be deciphered because their martial arts cultivation was insufficient. They knew too little about Internal Energy circulation, martial arts foundations, and the path of martial arts.

But in truth, among the Four Great Books in The Twin Dragons of Great Tang, the Longevity Art was probably the most bizarre and special one.

The Twin Dragons had stumbled into it by chance and directly used the Longevity Art to begin from the innate stage. They had not gone from the acquired stage back to the innate stage like other martial arts. Although they had been weak when they started, their innate essence had been undeniable. At the time, they only knew the basics of the Nine Mysteries Great Art.

He had Force Sense, Code’s connection to the World Will, Sage Mode, and that strange soul state he himself found unusual. Trying it directly was not without hope.

Moreover, he would not take the detour of researching Internal Energy. Or rather, the Longevity Art itself was an unconventional martial path, perhaps more accurately a path of nurturing qi. It was entirely self-contained and specifically suited to gifted people who came to it midway through life.

Of course, even if he managed to figure something out, Xu Yue would still decisively abandon it if it could not be integrated into his existing system or caused major conflicts. Even if it might have greater potential, a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush…

Just as Xu Yue thought that something which had gone unsold so many times and was so expensive should be easy to acquire, since ordinary Reincarnators lacked the relevant information—

A bid raising the price by one B-Rank Plot completely pulled Xu Yue’s attention away from his calculations.

Someone else was interested in this thing?

If nobody wanted it at the starting price for a long time, some large Legions might indeed consider buying it back for research.

But with someone already showing interest, and still raising the price despite Xu Yue bidding so quickly, it was clear that the other party was genuinely interested as well!

This special auction in the Reincarnation Space directly judged the subjective consciousness of Reincarnators. There was no such thing as shill bidding…

There were still only two updates today… Working overtime again over the weekend. I’m coughing blood. The rest of this volume will cover some matters in reality and the Reincarnation Space, bringing out some background details~
