Chapter 22: System shop (2)
Afterwards, Zhang Wei got a short explanation in the cultivation realms, that can be achieved by in the lower world.
The system skipped the explanation for divine realm, for now, citing the cliche reasons, that the host strength is too low for it.
The cultivation realm, in the lower world can be broadly classified into ten realms. New novel chaptš¯’†rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
First, Qi Gathering Realm.
Second, Foundation Establishment Realm.
Third, Core Formation Realm.
Fourth, Soul Warming Realm.
Fifth, Spirit Tempering Realm.
Sixth, Martial Ancestor Realm.
Seventh, Heaven's Mandate Realm.
Eight, Earthly Immortal Realm.
Ninth, Heavenly Immortal Realm
Tenth, Divine Immortal Realm.
All the realms, are further sub-classified as initial, intermediate, advanced and peak.
In addition, there is a classification for artifacts, techniques and pill available in the system shop.
========
-System Shop-
1. Techniques
2. Artifacts
3. Pills
4. Bodies
========
After going through all of them, Zhang Wei found that the body was the costliest option among them all. He couldn't help but feel apprehensive about it. However, upon remembering that even a soul-warming cultivator like Leng Mei only possessed a tempered body, he thought that cultivating a body was much harder.
The system reassured him that he didn't need to cultivate his body, as upon purchase it would be directly integrated with his own, enhancing his overall strength. Zhang Wei nodded at the explanation and decided to use his points to purchase a body for now.
The system informed him that he didn't need to purchase a cultivation technique, as a technique of unknown grade that matched his spiritual root would be given as a free gift to him under the starter pack. As for the rest, Zhang Wei had no knowledge about the strange artifacts and pills in the shop. The descriptions could give him a vague idea about them, but that was all.
==========

==========
"Will the diamond body type help me defeat that lady police officer?" Zhang Wei asked.
[Combined with the host's cultivation, the host should be able to surpass Leng Yan. However, the same cannot be said for Leng Mei. The host is advised to first achieve the Core Formation realm before attempting to take on opponents of higher stages.]
Zhang Wei nodded, realizing that he wasn't ready to take on Leng Mei just yet. However, he needed to gain control over Leng Yan as soon as possible. That woman could potentially cause him a lot of problems in the future.
He realized that having someone who could help him evade law enforcement could be immensely beneficial. However, the problem was that he couldn't threaten Leng Yan. Even if he managed to tame her, she might rebel in the future if he didn't have any leverage over her.
Suddenly, the system suggested two items from the shop.
=====
-Techniques-
Adept Grade
1. Incubus Aura: 2000 points
Description: Made any women the host has sex with unable to forget him, and make that women excessively obsessed with host.
2. Slave Seal: 2000 points.
Description: The person would be unable to kill himself, or resist any order of the host.
Note: Can be only used on the person, if he/she willingly accepts the seal.
=======
Zhang Wei noticed the descriptions of both items and concluded that the slave seal was a better option.
His reasoning was that the Incubus Aura would only turn the women into mindless slaves who would crave his attention and change their personalities completely.
Moreover, how would he enjoy the satisfaction of teaching Leng Yan a lesson if she lost her hateful glare?
He didn't want the women to fall in love with him; they could hate him all they wanted.
[Host, you are quite vicious], remarked the system, feeling disturbed by Zhang Wei's reasoning.
Zhang Wei simply shrugged in response. He would rather bask in the hatred he could anticipate than the love that could disappear at any moment.
What if the Incubus Aura stopped working all of a sudden?
Wouldn't that be even worse?
Zhang Wei had to consider a scenario where even the system would not be of use to him if he wanted to save himself from those celestials in the future.
"Would the slave seal work on Feng Xinyue?" he asked, pondering whether he could enslave the celestial princess.
[No, her strength is too high for it to enslave her soul], the system replied.
Zhang Wei agreed. He would be surprised if the slave seal actually worked on someone as powerful as Feng Xinyue.
====
Diamond Body Type - Enhance your physical strength and defense with the unbreakable diamond body. Cost: 10000 villain points.
Available points: 10000
To make a purchase, please select the desired item number and confirm with Y or N.
=====
[Purchase confirmed! The diamond body type will be soon integrated with the user. Thank you for your patronage!]
Zhang Wei felt a rush of excitement as he heard the system's confirmation. He had spent all his villain points to acquire the legendary diamond body type, and he was eager to see what it could do for him.
Suddenly, a brilliant light enveloped Zhang Wei's body, and he felt a surge of power coursing through his veins. It was like nothing he had ever experienced before.
As the light faded, Zhang Wei looked down at his hands in amazement. They were now covered in a shimmering, diamond-like material that gleamed in the light.
He flexed his fingers experimentally, feeling the strength and power that now flowed through his body. He could feel his muscles bulging with newfound strength, and he knew that he was now capable of incredible feats of physical prowess.
But there was more to the diamond body type than just strength and power. It was said to grant its user incredible durability and resilience, making them almost invulnerable to harm.
To test this theory, Zhang Wei summoned a sharp knife from his drawer and slashed it across his forearm. But instead of blood and flesh, the knife simply bounced off his diamond skin, leaving behind only a small scratch.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but grin in delight. With his new diamond body type, he was now a true force to be reckoned with.
Though he felt weird, how was he supposed to go outside in this state? Suddenly, the diamond-like skin disappeared, replaced by his normal skin, which was much more juvenile and smoother than his original skin.
"So, the appearance and strength can be altered," thought Zhang Wei. He suddenly felt his stamina increase countless times, along with his strength.
"Host, the bodies are the most expensive, as it takes normal cultivators hundreds of years to strengthen their own bodies to level up. The host has basically used a shortcut. At the current stage, even without any cultivation, the host can crush a peak foundation realm expert," the system explained.
Zhang Wei's eyes glowed with a profound light. To think he could fight with cultivators even without using his cultivation, merely because of the diamond body. Wasn't it a cheat? Nevertheless, being a Villain, he didn't pity the opponents who would face him in the future.
"What about the cultivation technique, system?" Zhang Wei asked eagerly, his eyes shining with anticipation.
[Check your inventory, host] the system responded.
Zhang Wei quickly opened his inventory, his heart racing with excitement. Inside, he found a supreme-grade marrow washing pill and an unnamed cultivation technique. His curiosity piqued, he asked, "Why doesn't it have a rank?"
[Host, this technique was crafted by divine sages of the past, none of whom were ever able to master it. As a result, it remains unranked], the system explained.
[The Elemental Harmony Technique uses the host's strength and amplifies it. As the host continues to grow and develop, the technique will continue to amplify the host's strength along with it.]
Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of mastering such a powerful cultivation technique.
Elemental Harmony Technique: The Elemental Harmony Technique is a cultivation method that focuses on balancing the five elements within the body - earth, water, fire, wood, and metal. By harmonizing these elements, practitioners can improve their physical and spiritual health, enhance their martial arts skills, and even gain access to elemental magic. The technique involves meditative exercises, breathing techniques, and visualization practices to cultivate and balance the elemental energies within the body.
Supreme Grade Marrow Washing Pill: The Supreme Grade Marrow Washing Pill is a rare and highly sought-after pill in the world of cultivation. It is said to be able to cleanse the bones and marrow of impurities and enhance the body's innate abilities. Consuming the pill is a painful process that involves intense sweating and purging of impurities from the body. However, the rewards are said to be worth it, as the pill can greatly increase one's strength, agility, and longevity. It is only produced by the most skilled alchemists and is usually only available to the highest levels of cultivators.
