Chapter 148: Training Method Of The Emerald Sky
Lin Qi knocked on the Storage Box that shone with golden light under the sun, then lightly drew a slash with the level B4 long sword in his hand.
In an instant, when the long sword made contact with the Storage Box, sparks flew.
“Damn! It really is Rem Titanium Gold!” Lin Qi stared at the completely unscathed Gold-grade Treasure Chest, which did not even have the slightest mark, full of shock in his heart.
Although in the High Martial Arts World there were people who used gold to make Storage Boxes, Storage Boxes made of gold were not practical and were mostly decorative.
Moreover, gold was heavy. Even if only the outermost layer of the Storage Box was made of gold, the weight would not be ordinary. At the very least, a Quasi-Martial Artist like Zhang Qing Wei could not possibly carry such a large box and run around casually.
But as for a metal that glowed with golden light while having low density, as far as he knew, there was only Rem Titanium Gold.
However, a Storage Box made entirely of Rem Titanium Gold was something he truly did not even dare to imagine.
Rem Titanium Gold, like Ancient Bronze Ore, was a type of Raw Ore, but while Ancient Bronze Ore was only level A6 metal, Rem Titanium Gold was the top-tier level B6 metal.
Because of its extremely high hardness and toughness, plus a density less than one-tenth that of gold, in the Market of the City of Light Chasing, it was a metal priced by the gram, and even then it was the kind that could not be bought even if you had money.
If the entire Storage Box was made of Rem Titanium Gold, then the Value of the Storage Box itself would probably be no less than a set of level B5 Battle Armor, equivalent to carrying a mountain of gold to store things.
He did not dare to think how rich someone had to be to use such a mad method just to hold items.
“Master of the Pavilion, we found it in the Martial Artist Association.”
Zhang Qing Wei spoke directly without any concealment. The others present all nodded one after another, looking at Lin Qi with excitement, curious about what price this Gold-grade Treasure Chest would fetch.
Previously, ordinary Treasure Chests were only five hundred Points each, which for them at that time was an enormous Wealth. It took them several days of digging to earn that much.
This time, the Treasure Chest was Gold Grade. No matter how you looked at it, its Value was much higher than an ordinary Treasure Chest. Even the guarding Monster was Lord Grade, which showed how precious this Treasure Chest was, definitely far beyond the level A6 Battle Armor dropped by Elite Monsters.
“The Martial Artist Association?” Lin Qi was even more shocked when he heard this.
He had never expected that these Gold-grade Treasure Chests would have such a major origin.
Originally, he thought these Players must have ransacked the Headquarters of some Major Power in Emerald Sky to obtain such extravagant Treasure Chests.
If they really came from the Martial Artist Association, then these Gold-grade Treasure Chests were anything but ordinary.
“Master of the Pavilion, you do not know. At that time, the Plaza in front of the Martial Artist Association split open, and three Giant Snakes of fifty to sixty meters each emerged, each one wreathed in flames. It was terrifying,” Twilight of the Gods said proudly. “And at that time, two groups of people rushed up from Underground, each carrying Treasure Chests. Remembering your instructions, Master of the Pavilion, to properly explore valuable things, we did not hesitate to charge up and seize these Treasure Chests.”
“Two groups? And you even snatched these Treasure Chests back? Those two groups had no objections?” Listening to Twilight of the Gods’ account, Lin Qi suspected he was telling a joke.
Any Faction capable of sending two parties into the Martial Artist Association’s depths would definitely be top-tier Suburbs powers even among the Three Major Cities. It was hard to imagine that after Twilight of the Gods and the others seized three Rem Titanium Storage Boxes, those two groups would let them go so easily.
Lin Qi knew that for this operation into the City Proper, those Major Powers had definitely dispatched Martial Artist level experts, fully armed and wearing level B Battle Armor.
In front of Martial Artists wearing level B Battle Armor, even Luo Wu Shang, whose Startling Spirit Breathing Technique had now reached 90 percent proficient, would not be able to Block more than a few moves and would be doomed to die.
It was not that he looked down on Luo Wu Shang and the others, but Martial Artists were truly not something non-Martial Artists could casually contend with, let alone Martial Artists wearing level B Battle Armor.
Against those below Martial Artist level, Luo Wu Shang could rely on her mastery of Internal Force to be unstoppable, killing with one blow. But once it came to Martial Artist level, Martial Artists not only commonly mastered Internal Force, but their Qi and Blood were so dense that they could naturally Block Internal Force, as if they were wearing an invisible Internal Force armor that greatly weakened Internal Force Attacks.
If the Martial Artist also mastered Internal Force, then their Defense would be even stronger.
Moreover, after becoming a Martial Artist, the Internal Organs would start being strengthened and would no longer be as fragile as those below Martial Artist level. Unless hit by an Internal Force Attack that far exceeded a Martial Artist’s Defense, it would at most cause light injuries.
“They did have objections, but our methods made them wary. Plus, with the crisis of those three Giant Snakes, they did not pursue too far,” Twilight of the Gods thought for a moment and chose not to mention Lu Fanchen and the others’ Self-detonation.
As for this Self-detonation method, not to mention whether an NPC could understand it, the method itself was even more exhilarating than the hand-crafted Super Electromagnetic Cannon. He had not yet enjoyed it enough himself, so of course he would hide it as long as he could, to avoid having it reported to the Game Developer by an NPC and then fixed or weakened at any moment.
“Alright, I will appraise these three Treasure Chests.” Lin Qi did not doubt much and began using the Advanced Smart Watch to unlock the combination locks on the three Treasure Chests.
According to Twilight of the Gods’ description, those three Giant Snakes were clearly Lord-level Monsters, and their behavior suggested they were fighting over something. Although he did not know what those three Lord-level Giant Snakes were contending for, Lord-level Monsters were absolutely not something the various Factions in the Suburbs could provoke.
Lin Qi even suspected that with three Lord-level Monsters emerging this time, the Senior Officials of the Three Major Cities might very well decide to give up on Emerald Sky.
It was not that the Three Major Cities could not eliminate those three Lord-level Monsters, but that Emerald Sky, after being destroyed and still harboring Lord-level Monsters, was enough to prove that the Monster Tide that attacked Emerald Sky was no ordinary event. Leaving Emerald Sky in this region was not a wise Choice.
Next, the Senior Officials of the Three Major Cities would likely soon forbid any Faction from entering Emerald Sky and disturbing the Lord-level Monsters inside, letting Emerald Sky leave. That would mean this round of City Exploration would soon be declared over.
As for having robbed the Items of two Major Powers, Lin Qi did not care much.
Slaughter in the Wilderness was perfectly normal. If those two Factions wanted revenge, he did not mind a fight.
The Obsidian Martial Arts Hall now, thanks to the Players obtaining a large number of level A6 Battle Armor, could fully arm more than five hundred people. When they returned to the Martial Arts Hall today, a new batch of Players would be able to enter the High Martial Arts World, and this time there would be as many as two hundred people.
These two hundred people would soon become Apprentices, and after they absorbed the Iron Heart Gang, the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would then have more than five hundred fully armed experts with Quasi-Martial Artist level Combat Power.
This Strength would be impossible to ignore in any City, let alone face directly.
More importantly, it was about the Players. Several Players were already close to Promotion to Martial Artist. Once their Startling Spirit Breathing Technique reached 100 percent proficiency in the First Level, they could become Martial Artists. At that time Lin Qi’s Strength would also rise accordingly, and he truly would not fear any Major Power in the Suburbs.
Finally, after Lin Qi spent more than an hour using the Advanced Smart Watch to unlock the passwords on the three Rem Titanium Storage Boxes, the three Storage Boxes all slowly opened with a creak, drawing all the surrounding Players over.
“They are finally open. I wonder what good things are inside these Gold-grade Treasure Chests.”
“I guess top-tier Equipment, maybe Divine Gear made specifically to arm the Master of the Pavilion.”
“If that is the case, will the Master of the Pavilion directly Reward a set of Divine Gear?”
Everyone looked at the three opened Gold-grade Treasure Chests, all talking at once, curious about what was inside.
But once the three Rem Titanium Storage Boxes opened, everyone present was stunned.
Inside the three radiant Treasure Chests lay three Items: one held a Blood-colored Bead the size of a Fist, one held a Storage Chip, and one held a somewhat damaged Blueprint, completely different from what everyone had imagined.
The Players could not help feeling a bit disappointed, especially Lu Fanchen and the others who had seized two Gold-grade Treasure Chests; their faces turned dark.
They had originally hoped an NPC-usable piece of Divine Gear would appear, and the Contribution Reward for that would definitely far exceed that of Teams farming level A6 Battle Armor, perhaps even earning Mythical Paradise a Quota.
But now, looking at this, the Gold-grade Treasure Chests were trash, with nothing that looked useful.
“Are these the treasures of the Martial Artist Association?” Lin Qi looked at the contents of the three Treasure Chests without any surprise and directly picked up the three Items to examine them carefully.
As an institution that assisted Martial Artists, the Martial Artist Association would certainly store all sorts of things. As for Weapon and Equipment drops, that was unlikely. Normal Weapon and Equipment would not be placed in Storage Boxes. The Items placed in Storage Boxes should all be some kind of precious miscellaneous goods.
The three Items before him were exactly that: three miscellaneous items, just as Lin Qi had expected.
However, though they were miscellaneous, their Value was self-evident if the renowned Mobile City Jade Sky had chosen to store them.
As for the Blood-colored Bead and the damaged Blueprint, Lin Qi simply set them aside and picked up the Storage Chip, inserting it into his Smart Watch.
“As expected!”
Looking at the stored data inside the Storage Chip, Lin Qi could not help showing an expression of wild joy.
Although when he first saw the Storage Chip, Lin Qi did not think it had to be the Cultivation Method he wanted and believed it might instead record Martial Skills or Secret Techniques or something similar.
But the Martial Artist Association did not disappoint him.
The information stored in the Storage Chip was none other than the Cultivation Methods that ordinary people in the outside world all wanted to Learn.
But the Cultivation Methods in the Storage Chip were not ordinary Cultivation Methods; or rather, they were incomplete Cultivation Methods. If ordinary people practiced them, the Risk would be enormous, and even if they succeeded, because the Cultivation Methods were incomplete, they would have to Learn other Cultivation Methods later to continue their Improvement.
Normally, no one would be willing to record such Cultivation Methods, let alone the Martial Artist Association, which possessed who knew how many true top-tier Cultivation Methods. Keeping these incomplete Cultivation Methods was meaningless, much less storing them in a Rem Titanium Storage Box.
But the Martial Artist Association of Emerald Sky had kept these incomplete Cultivation Methods precisely because they were too powerful.
Among them were no fewer than eight Martial Artist level Cultivation Methods and four Cultivation Methods above Martial Artist level. Each Martial Artist level Cultivation Method was a High-level Secret Skill, and the Cultivation Methods above Martial Artist level were all Intermediate Level or higher Secret Techniques.
These twelve Cultivation Methods placed within a Major Power in the City Proper would be unimaginable, let alone for the current Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
Lin Qi even suspected that the Genius Training Camp of the City of Light Chasing might not be able to provide so many Cultivation Methods for its students to Learn.
System: Congratulations to the Host for discovering a large number of Cultivation Methods far superior to the one the Host is cultivating. Do you wish to merge all Cultivation Methods to optimize the existing Cultivation Method?
“Optimize!” Lin Qi chose optimization without hesitation.
