385: Target Blackwater Area

It was night.

The people in the village rested early.

In the County, it was still bustling.

The Bounty Pavilion.

Su Yongchun, wearing his usual mask, showed his Bounty Token to the burly, strong-blooded man at the entrance.

"1002 points." Seeing the points on it, the man at the entrance nodded slightly. "You may go to the second floor, but don't think about sneaking anything out. If I catch you, the consequences will be severe."

The man's eyes looked as if they had been plucked from a tiger and installed into his face, carrying an intense aura of authority and aggression.

Su Yongchun nodded in understanding.

After walking into the Bounty Pavilion, his expression turned slightly solemn.

Ning Qu Realm, and not just an ordinary Ning Qu Realm at that.

It seems there are experts in the County, though I don't know if there are any beings beyond the Body Realm.

His gaze swept over the first floor.

The first floor of the Bounty Pavilion was filled with miscellaneous items.

Golden silk fabrics, precious sandalwood, and gold and silver treasures.

These could all be exchanged for points.

However, compared to precious Cultivation Techniques, these things could only be displayed on the first floor.

He made his way to the second floor.

Unexpectedly, there were not many Secret Manuals of martial arts visible on the second floor.

There were only about a dozen, and some of them were only half-complete, meaning they were damaged.

Not caring about that, Su Yongchun reached out and picked up a martial art manual from the edge of the bookshelf.

Rage Vein Body (Third-rate): A Body Tempering Cultivation Technique. Once mastered to Major Achievement, one becomes impervious to blades and spears!

Price: 2000 Bounty Points.

After flipping through it, Su Yongchun held his breath and waited.

System, I'm counting on you!

"Ding~ Martial art, Rage Vein Body has been recorded."

As soon as this sound came out, Su Yongchun clenched his fist tightly. "It works! If the System works, then his idea is viable!"

Putting the Rage Vein Body back on the shelf, Su Yongchun continued to pick up the next one.

Lost Trace Steps (Non-rated): Once mastered to Major Achievement, even tigers and leopards cannot catch you.

Price: 1000 Bounty Points.

Artifact Refining Method (Third-rate): Written by gathering the strengths of a hundred folk masters. If one studies according to the book and reaches Perfection, one has the hope of crafting a Mortal Weapon.

Whether they were useful or useless, whether they were Cultivation Techniques or other things.

The dozen or so Secret Manuals on the second floor were all recorded into the System in just the time it takes to burn a stick of incense!

Now, he didn't even need to use the 1002 Bounty Points he had on hand!

Of course, since he had entered the Bounty Pavilion, he had to use at least a little bit.

After wandering around the first floor, under the twitching gaze of the burly man at the entrance, Su Yongchun used two Bounty Points to take twenty catties of refined iron.

You only exchanged for twenty catties of refined iron, why did you go to the second floor?

If he hadn't gone up to check the second floor and found nothing missing, he would have truly thought Su Yongchun had stolen something.

An Ding Village.

Taking advantage of the night, and braving the cold wind to return to his room, Su Yongchun couldn't wait to open his System panel to see this unprecedented, massive harvest!

Host: Su Yongchun

Realm: Body Tempering Ninth Layer [ 4500 / 5500 ]

Acupuncture (Non-rated): Third Layer [ Perfection ]

White Stone Fist (Non-rated): Jade Fist [ Perfection ]

Lost Trace Steps (Non-rated): Entry [ 0 / 100 ]

Rage Vein Body (Third-rate): Entry [ 0 / 200 ]

Gold Wood Fist (Third-rate): Entry [ 0 / 200 ]

Mad Demon Blade (Third-rate): Entry [ 0 / 200 ]

Available Experience Points: 1007

The string of Cultivation Techniques made Su Yongchun grin from ear to ear.

If he had to exchange Bounty Points for these things, at the speed he was doing wanted missions, it would take him at least a year or two to get them.

Unexpectedly, the System helped him get them all at once!

He suddenly had an idea.

In the future, he would just take the 1000 Bounty Points on his token and visit the Bounty Pavilions in the major towns of Whale Country.

In that case, wouldn't he be able to get all the Cultivation Techniques for free?

However, having enough Cultivation Techniques was about enough.

What use is having a large quantity? When fighting, he wouldn't even know which one to use.

It would be great if they could be fused.

Seeing the Host fall into distress, Ye Tian naturally resolved it directly, saying: "The Host can invest Experience Points to fuse and upgrade Cultivation Techniques of the same origin."

Various functions being opened to the Host was something Ye Tian was happy to see.

Every additional section meant another money pit, and the Host's Experience Points would be even less sufficient.

If the Experience Points were insufficient, the Host would find his own ways to help him suck the blood of this world to obtain more Experience Points.

Over the past few months, just by extracting seawater, he had extracted a net profit of over six million points.

Judging from the foundation of this world, this was just the beginning.

Only when the Host became stronger could his own appetite grow larger.

"Fusion! It can be fused!" Su Yongchun was once again won over by the System's thoughtfulness.

Looking at his panel again, a wisp of lines connecting together had appeared behind some of the Cultivation Techniques.

Behind these lines, there was a plus sign.

Lost Trace Steps + Butterfly Shadow Steps: Fusion requires 100 points.

White Stone Fist + Gold Wood Fist: Fusion requires 150 points.

Great Blade Art + Mad Demon Blade + Moon Wave Blade: Fusion requires 300 points.

Half an hour later, Su Yongchun's panel was completely refreshed.

Realm: Body Tempering Ninth Layer [ 4500 / 5500 ]

Acupuncture (Non-rated): Third Layer [ Perfection ]

Gold Stone Fist (Second-rate): Second Layer [ 600 / 1000 ]

Spirit Vein Body (Second-rate): Entry [ 0 / 200 ]

Butterfly Trace Steps (Third-rate): Entry [ 0 / 150 ]

Artifact Refining Method (Third-rate): Entry [ 0 / 200 ]

Magic Moon Blade Art (Second-rate): Entry [ 0 / 200 ]

Available Experience Points: 8

Looking at the panel before him, Su Yongchun clenched his hands.

Compared to the previous White Stone Fist at Perfection, the current Gold Stone Fist at the Second Layer made him feel much stronger—very obviously!

This was the gap between Non-rated and Second-rate.

The martial arts of this world.

Non-rated, Third-rate, Second-rate, and First-rate are all just terms that exist within the Body Tempering Realm.

This is also the mainstream within the Body Tempering Realm.

Once one reaches the Spirit Realm, it becomes Spirit Martial.

That is the point where a true chasm is created from ordinary people.

If they could be continuously fused, perhaps these folk martial arts could be fused into Spirit Martial arts, or even forge Divine Abilities and Immortal Arts!

However, all of this requires Experience Points.

Thinking of Experience Points, Su Yongchun glanced at the remaining 8 points on the panel and felt that this thing was just like money in his previous life—it didn't last long at all.

He had to find a way to get Experience Points.

He was now a Body Tempering Ninth Layer Martial Artist; within the jurisdiction of this County, if not in the first tier, he was at least a figure in the second tier.

And he was a 'Genius' expert who possessed several Second-rate martial arts.

"If I want to get Experience Points, should I go out to sea?" His eyes looked out the window.

Unknowingly, it had started to rain in the night.

Gazing at the deep sea churning in the black clouds in the distance, Su Yongchun pondered to himself.

Lifting the mattress, he placed a beast-hide map on his desk.

In the flickering light of the oil lamp, the full picture of the map was revealed.

This was a sea-faring map that Su Yongchun had bought in the County.

It wasn't cheap; it cost five hundred copper coins.

Generally, fishing boats that go out to sea for long periods would prepare such a map.

It showed Dehe County, the County where he was located, as the starting point, and the condition of the sea area extending over a thousand kilometers.

Of course, it was only a general overview.

For a Mortal, it is very difficult to thoroughly understand this area.

What Su Yongchun was looking for were some forbidden areas within this thousand-kilometer sea range.

For example, water in a certain sea area that is entirely highly toxic.

Or perhaps, a sea area where submarine magma exists.

As long as he found these places and dropped the [Experience Collector], he would certainly be able to usher in a surge of points.

Su Yongchun had already looked at the map before.

Therefore, this time when he unfolded it, his finger landed skillfully on a certain sea area on the map.

In a sea area five hundred kilometers away, there was a Blackwater Zone spanning hundreds of kilometers!
