99: Martial Arts Crystal

So-called martial dao crystal, as the name suggests, is a crystal containing the Dao of a Martial Artist.

Each crystal can give a Martial Artist a deeper understanding of martial dao Cultivation.

It is said that someone once comprehended a Concept after absorbing a hundred martial dao crystals.

If copper coins are the currency of ordinary people, then martial dao crystals are the hard currency of the Martial Artist world.

One martial dao crystal is worth trillions of copper coins, and it’s still an item with value but no market.

And Star Zenith Department Store's Supreme Black Cards are all issued to important figures who possess martial dao crystals.

Because of this, Manager Wang was not at all displeased that Shen Xi wanted to buy on credit.

On the contrary, he even suspected that Shen Xi might have some peculiar taste and enjoyed pretending to be poor.

Of course, Manager Wang didn't know that Shen Xi wasn't pretending to be poor; he was genuinely poor.

He didn't even understand what a martial dao crystal was.

However, after confirming that he could buy on credit, Shen Xi immediately thanked him, saying, "I will pay off the debt in the shortest possible time."

Manager Wang repeatedly waved his hand and said, "You are too polite, these are all minor matters, as long as you are satisfied."

For a time, both host and guest were pleased.

And Shen Xi secretly congratulated himself for choosing Star Zenith Department Store.

He had indeed made the right choice; leveraging Ye Zirou's connection, he could indeed buy on credit.

From the beginning, Shen Xi chose Star Zenith Department Store with this idea in mind.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the beast tide was about to erupt, and both Shen Xi himself and the Two People of the fatty brothers needed to increase their combat power in the shortest possible time.

To become stronger, Face was no longer so important; at most, he would owe Ye Zirou a favor.

"Three distinguished guests, our store also has specialized Enlightenment Rooms. I wonder if you need them? Of course, the fees can be settled together later."

Manager Wang was also a shrewd person.

Since they were already buying on credit, a little more or a little less wasn't a big problem.

"Then prepare two Enlightenment Rooms for me!"

Shen Xi was also not polite; his thoughts were similar.

He already owed a favor anyway, so a little more or a little less didn't matter; he would repay it all together later.

However, two rooms were enough for him.

As a cheat-type player, what he needed was demon beast lifespan. As long as he had demon beast lifespan, he could comprehend Cultivation Techniques in the shortest time. These two Enlightenment Rooms were prepared for the Two People of the fatty brothers.

"Two rooms are enough; Big Brother and I can take turns using the Enlightenment Room."

Wang Lin thought Shen Xi rented two Enlightenment Rooms because he planned to use one himself and the two brothers would use one, so he fully supported it.

The Martial Arts they Cultivated were of low grade, so even if they used it in rotation, it would be enough. On the other hand, Shen Xi had purchased three Innate Martial Arts, which would naturally require a lot of time and effort, and the Enlightenment Room could effectively shorten this time.

As for Fatty, he didn't say much. If it were before, he would definitely feel pained about the money and refuse Shen Xi.

But now he understood that as long as one possessed strength, one could possess everything. Now that he had spent Shen Xi's money, he would repay it to Shen Xi twofold after he grew stronger.

"No! These two rooms are one for each of you; I don't need them."

Shen Xi directly refused.

He had rented an Enlightenment Room in Zhu Feng City before, and the effect, he could only say, was average, not as good as him using the System for Martial Arts practice.

Moreover, he didn't have much demon beast lifespan left now, not enough to Cultivate these three Innate Martial Arts.

His biggest improvement this time at Star Zenith Department Store was purchasing an Innate weapon—the Qingying Sword.

This sword could maximize the power of his Sword Intent and One Sword Eight Desolations.

As for those three Innate Martial Arts, he would wait until he had enough demon beast lifespan.

"Xi Zi, you rented two Enlightenment Rooms, but you're not going to use them yourself? Didn't you say that a Martial Artist's strength is the foundation? Don't give up your Opportunity to improve for the sake of us two brothers!"

Fatty said anxiously.

If Shen Xi didn't use the Enlightenment Room, he would also resolutely not use it.

He felt as if he had stolen Shen Xi's Opportunity.

"If I tell you to use them, then use them. My Cultivation method is different from yours. The Enlightenment Room has no effect on me. If you continue to be so polite with me, I'll get angry."

Shen Xi pretended to put on a stern Face.

"This..."

The Two People of the fatty brothers hesitated to speak.

"Hurry up and Cultivate! The beast tide is about to erupt. Only when your strength improves can you gain experience in the beast tide!"

Under Shen Xi's repeated insistence, the Two People were still pushed into the Enlightenment Room.

And Manager Wang looked at Shen Xi with a moved expression.

In his opinion, Shen Xi's statement that the Enlightenment Room had no effect on him was just an excuse to put the Two People of the fatty brothers at ease.

This person is reliable!

He values friendship and loyalty!

Thinking of this, Manager Wang quickly said, "Actually, our store is currently having a promotion: rent two Enlightenment Rooms, get one free. Why don't you give it a try?"

"No need," Shen Xi shook his head and refused.

At this, Manager Wang was a little confused.

He found that he couldn't understand what Shen Xi was thinking.

If it was because he was short on cash, the other party had a Supreme Black Card, and he was even offering a free Enlightenment Room. Logically speaking, Shen Xi could enter the Enlightenment Room to Cultivate without spending money, right?

As for the Enlightenment Room having no effect, that was complete nonsense.

Even Heaven-Grade powerhouses needed the boost from an Enlightenment Room. How could it have no effect?

Manager Wang could never have imagined that Shen Xi was a cheater.

The Enlightenment Room truly didn't have much effect on him.

Could ten days or half a month of arduous Cultivation compare to a few minutes of him using the System?

"Thank you for Manager Wang's kindness; I appreciate it."

"My two brothers, I'll trouble you to look after them. I have something else to do."

Shen Xi didn't linger. He knew that Fatty and the others wouldn't come out that quickly.

Even with the boost from the Enlightenment Room, and even if they were just unrated, Acquired-level Martial Arts, the Two People of the fatty brothers would need at least ten days to half a month.

This was also because the Enlightenment Room at Star Zenith Department Store had astonishing effects.

Shen Xi naturally couldn't wait that long. He planned to hunt some Yao Beasts and obtain demon beast lifespan before the beast tide officially erupted.

"Don't worry, as long as they are in Star Zenith Department Store, no one can harm them. Let alone Xu Shirui, even his father wouldn't dare to act presumptuously here."

Manager Wang patted his chest and guaranteed.

He took a deep look at Shen Xi.

The other party not using Star Zenith Department Store's Enlightenment Room but choosing to leave clearly meant he had a better option.

Everything made sense now.

And this also changed Manager Wang's perception of Shen Xi.

He had thought the other party was loyal and righteous, but now it seemed he was just so-so.

Thinking of this, although Manager Wang didn't say anything, he had already silently given Shen Xi a bad review in his heart.

Of course, after all, it was a Supreme Black Card, so he definitely wouldn't say it to his Face. These little thoughts were buried in his heart.
