NOVEL WEB Chapter 205 Vitality Energy Spirit
```
"Not bad, the harvest is higher than expected."
Tao Yu looked at the 620,000 Yuan Force in hand, his expression showing some joy. It really paid off to pioneer new lands!
Even with the electronic auction format, the selling price was much higher than his original estimate, and that was after the auction house commission had been deducted.
But thinking about it, just from this single deal, the auction house could take away a commission of over 60,000. That truly was a daily goldmine of profit!
Even if they didn't have goods like his every day, considering other, cheaper items, they probably managed an average daily income of over 50,000!
At least ten million in profits per year!
And that's a conservative estimate.
These were the true money-making projects.
Of course, they must also have a solid background capable of sustaining such benefits.
"Mr. Tao is a young prodigy, so here is our VIP card for the auction house. In the future, if you have other goods, the commission can be reduced to 80%. Additionally, you can enjoy some of our auction house's special privileges.
"If Mr. Tao has a telecommunication chip, you can connect with us for updates. Even if Mr. Tao is in a new Development Zone, we can still notify you about good merchandise as long as you are within signal coverage, though I believe the signal range in the new Development Zones isn't very extensive yet."
An elegant manager from the auction house personally handed the Yuan Force card to Tao Yu, who, after checking the amount inside was correct, began to absorb it on the spot and signed the receipt form she had handed over.
"Oh? Has your establishment already started reaching out to the Development Zones?"
Tao Yu asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, if it's not convenient to add telecommunication, this radio frequency is our auction house's exclusive channel. We broadcast some information about relevant items back and forth to the new Development Zone every day."
The beautiful manager explained some new services in detail to Tao Yu.
Although it was his first transaction, the fact that the auction house had made tens of thousands of Yuan Force from it—and especially since it came from the new Development Zone and he was so young—the potential for investment and engagement was absolutely worth it.
"Moreover, our young master has already arrived in the Development Zone and is looking for elite young prodigies. I think Mr. Tao could definitely give it a try. The young master is from the Klein family of Floating City."
The manager's words made Tao Yu pause, but it wasn't that surprising to him. The Development Zone was already on the right track, and while the investment still outweighed the output, profit was only a matter of time.
Anyone could see that future, so it was normal for new players to enter the game once things had stabilized.
However, he could be certain that the Klein family must be allies or subordinates of the Suns, or at the very least, they had been given permission to get involved.
"Thank you, I'll consider it."
Tao Yu nodded, absorbed the Yuan Force completely, and took the VIP card before leaving the auction house in the respectful escort of the manager.
"Now that other people from Floating Cities have started to enter the fray, it's likely the number will gradually increase. Plus, I remember Shiqing mentioning that those from the Floating City who value their own feathers would choose to come here, and teleportation devices are probably already being considered..."
Tao Yu became somewhat lost in thought, realizing that nearly three months had passed and indeed, the base had drastically changed.
However, Starshine City only had one set of transport devices in the old Development Zone. To get new ones, one had to traverse the grey fog to the State Capital and apply.
They probably had to bring the parts back and then assemble them in the new Development Zone.
It's difficult to directly leverage family resources in the new Development Zone. It was almost entirely up to the Suns siblings to decide life or death. If it wasn't certain that they could connect with the old Development Zone in the future, the big players were unlikely to take risks easily.
They might not say it would open immediately, but it was probably already decided.
"Good thing I traveled far. Otherwise, there might be some complications at the base in the near future."
Tao Yu contemplated, then headed to the mission hall again to choose Deification for his skill while also preparing to check for messages from Jack and Panda.
With Sun Shiqing watching over things, there shouldn't be big problems, but it was still worth exchanging messages. Read new adventures at empire
The matter of the martial arts school was left to the young rich kids, while farming was something he could team up with Panda and the others to handle. He would provide the initial setup, and they would be responsible for day-to-day maintenance and sales.
Myriad Shapes Combined lv1: Based on a dragon form, integrating various other shapes to form one's own crucible, capable of refining Qi-Blood into vigor. With the aid of Breathing Technique, can refine blood into Gang Qi, and with level upgrades, enhance the body's maximum potential.
The first Deification consumes 3,000 Yuan Force!
Deification!
Myriad Shapes Combined·Modified lv1: The foregoing omitted, allows the body to act as a crucible, integrating essence, energy, and spirit.
As Tao Yu walked, he could feel his bones crackling all over, especially his spine, where starting from the tailbone an electric sensation seemed to shoot straight to his forehead.
```
Using the dragon spine as a bridge, it seemed that one could simultaneously funnel spirit power, Qi-Blood, and Big Dipper True Qi into the dragon spine for smelting!
BIU~
Tao Yu slowly raised his finger, observing the still roughly half-inch long Gang Qi, feeling that this Gang Qi had undergone a completely different kind of change in quality!
The previous Gang Qi exhalation and inhalation had an illusory feeling, but now a distinct metallic quality had become apparent!
Moreover, the Big Dipper True Qi and his own spirit will easily fused into it, with no conflict whatsoever.
The purified spirit power brought by the Meditation Technique, the substantial interference mixed with the will of Fist Intention, and the properties of Big Dipper True Qi all seamlessly integrated!
Beneath Tao Yu's cloak, his fingers plucked at the air, and with a faint gesture, a metal street lamp a dozen yards away sparked, leaving behind a visible indent!
"With mere physical destruction, it could be so effective, simply perfect. The techniques could directly mobilize the merged Blood Gang without any roughness."
Formed with his own dragon spine as the furnace, this perfect amalgamation brought great joy to the depths of Tao Yu's heart.
This was still the concealed distance striking power, not known for its lethality!
If one used coins or something similar while also employing flicking skills, the power could be even greater!
Combined with will attacks and the internal damage of True Qi, the lethality against living beings would be quite astonishing.
Afterwards, Tao Yu turned his attention to the Myriad Streams Breathing Method, the ability that originally cost him fifteen hundred Yuan Force to achieve its first Deification.
The second Deification consumed a staggering thirty thousand!
"All-Encompassing Forms" was important as an external prerequisite, but the Myriad Streams Breathing Technique was the internal core!
The first Deification granted the ability to stack strength and temper the bone marrow, and in terms of practicality, it wasn't any less than the second Deification of the Basic Breathing Method that could enhance the body's inner faculties.
This time "All-Encompassing Forms" made it so easy for the dragon spine to become the furnace, merging essence, Qi, and spirit as one, and this gradual strengthening of the bone marrow over time also played a crucial role.
Otherwise, even if such an effect could be achieved, it wouldn't be possible to complete the smelting of the entire body!
With this, as Tao Yu spent three hundred thousand Yuan Force, his face changed slightly for an instant before he faded into a shadow and vanished, arriving at a deserted, dark alley.
One could see blood-colored steam continuously rising from beneath the cloak.
Next moment~ Pfft pfft~
The ordinarily defensive partner's cloak was torn to pieces in an instant, along with some of his common clothes.
Tao Yu himself appeared to be enveloped by a column of blood-colored steam.
The key was the blood-colored steam covering Tao Yu like flames, wherein metallic luster occasionally flashed through.
After a while, following several violent breaths from Tao Yu, the blood-colored steam gradually dissipated and extinguished like smoke.
Using Qi to control Gang!
This was the most significant change brought about by the second Deification of the Myriad Streams Breathing Method!
Because Gang Qi was too forceful, even with the dragon spine combined with essence, Qi, and spirit, it could easily damage the meridians. Short-term execution of techniques might be feasible, but long-term cultivation of Inner Strength in this manner was not possible.
Normal cultivation was still the separate matter of Big Dipper True Qi and the mental strength from Meditation Technique.
Aside from the already existent comprehensive benefits on Qi-Blood, muscle power, Gang Qi, and physical constitution, the second Deification of the Myriad Streams Breathing Technique now allowed for the readily available use of merged Blood Gang in combat.
Under the coverage of that blood-colored steam, with every move, Gang Qi could be refined at any time to damage the enemy!
"With this, using martial arts techniques, I can actually produce special effects..."
Tao Yu imagined the scene of unleashing the Descending Dragon's Palm and producing little dragons, and even though a red Blood Dragon might not be very auspicious, it sure looked cool!
Furthermore, the Deification of the Descending Dragon's Palm itself granted him strong control through his mental power, with abundant reserves.
It seemed that in the future, he could truly make a sky full of little dragons dance, and even retract them after defeating his opponents, significantly enhancing his stamina!
Besides this feature, the overall enhancement brought by the second Deification of the Breathing Technique also bolstered his recovery capabilities, supplementing his stamina, especially since the newly acquired Gang Qi could benefit from a golden window of opportunity for enhancement...
