Chapter 138: The Secret Storage Bag! Jiang Shu Starts a Business! Pharmaceutical Company!_2
Jiang Shu walked toward the freshly assembled alloy safe, welded to the wall and floor, and locked the Storage Bag inside.
Storage Bags contain space. They come in sizes of one cubic meter, ten cubic meters, up to a hundred cubic meters. They are standard equipment for those in the Detachment Realm. They engrave their personal Spirit imprint on their Storage Bags. With a mere thought, it naturally opens. Very few Martial Artists at the Acupoint Passage Realm possess them, and those bags usually only have about one cubic meter, primarily using Essence Blood for recognition.
The secrets of the Storage Bag emerged in Jiang Shu's mind.
It must be said, the price of secrets in the treasury was indeed a bit steep. The money Jiang Shu made from reselling items in a month, along with the Contribution Value from completing several missions, was only enough to exchange for one secret. But this was no loss at all; some secrets were truly worth a fortune! The information about Storage Bags was clearly only accessible to a few. If he hadn't become a top talent of the Danxia Chamber of Commerce, he probably wouldn't have known about this magical Secret Treasure even upon entering the state city!
One cubic meter... even just one cubic meter, if news of it were released, it could attract covetous glances from countless major nations on Xuanxing. The exploration of space—that is what many major nations are striving to achieve now! This mystery completely surpasses current scientific understanding! If scientists truly managed to research it thoroughly, humanity's progress would take an epic leap, just like moving from fire to electricity.
Even Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artists find it extremely difficult to possess a Storage Bag. Liang Tingbo's body had no treasures, so presumably, they were all in his Storage Bag. Though it's only one cubic meter, the treasures that an Acupoint Passage Realm, top-grade Alchemist regarded as precious can only be imagined!
It's just... such a shame.
All checks were correct.
Jiang Shu walked out of the secret room.
No matter how magical the Storage Bag was, and how precious the treasures inside were, they were beyond his reach for now. To truly open it, he would have to wait until he had thoroughly entered the Little Dragon Tiger List and possessed formidable strength in the Blood Exchange Realm. Only then could he step into Yunzhou City and fully plan this matter.
After all, a family that could produce someone like Liang Tingbo could not be simple. Perhaps it was one of Yunzhou's noble families! Extracting Essence Blood from their direct lineage would be no small feat.
In the spacious living room, he rehearsed the Innate Guiding Skill, circulating Innate Strength throughout his body. To this day, his Vermilion Bird True Strength and Azure Dragon True Strength had both reached small success. Among his organs, only the lungs and kidneys hadn't been fully refined.
But due to the difference in cultivation systems, among Martial Artists on Xuanxing using the Innate Guiding Skill, he was probably invincible within his realm. Except for... Shang Siguo.
The Grandmaster List hosts plentiful Grandmasters. It's truly a case of one surpassing many. Shang Siguo alone tops the list, managing to enter Fourth Rank Mutant Beast lairs and successfully stealing their young. Even if it was luck, it proves his strength and daring! Those ranked below him seem formidable—slaughtering hundreds of Mutant Beasts, holding their own against three Third Rank Mutant Beasts—but actually, with my current strength, I can easily do the same! Even if they have improved by now, as long as they don't break through to Alchemy Strength, Innate Strength ultimately won't match the mystique of the Da Jing Dynasty's True Strength! The Martial Arts of the Two Realms determine this.
However, according to the Martial Arts of the Da Jing Dynasty, the Skin Grinding Realm and Bone Forging Realm involve Inner Strength. The Refining Internal Realm and Blood Exchange Realm involve True Strength. It seems like breaking through realms, but in reality, the circulation of force is the same. But the Martial Arts of Xia Country are different! The gap between evident strength and Dark Force is not huge. However, advancing from Innate Strength to Alchemy Strength, according to posts on the Martial Artist Union's site, is like evolving from a monkey to a human, and from human to Immortal! Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it also proves that the true power of Alchemy Strength is absolutely not inferior to True Strength!
Jiang Shu, who practiced the Martial Arts of both realms, was naturally the most aware of the difference.
It's evident from the Innate Guiding Skill; it actually encompasses evident strength, Dark Force, and Innate Strength. But how to advance to Alchemy Strength, nobody knows. Even Teacher Xie is just practicing the Innate Guiding Skill now.
However, since Xia Country can mention that the realm above Innate Strength is Alchemy Strength, they must certainly possess a unique Cultivation Method; it just hasn't been made public! Just like at the beginning of Martial Arts, they didn't make public the Guiding Skills. Only insiders could truly cultivate them. Someone like me, a societal Martial Artist, although I have joined an academy and the National Security Bureau, is clearly still an outsider. It takes a real pledge of allegiance to qualify.
He thought to himself, This is human nature. It's not just about heroes breaking the law with Martial Arts. But for a powerhouse of such a realm, if one cannot be deeply tied to the state, the crisis their defection could bring in the future is undoubtedly great!
Jiang Shu understood this very well. As long as this pledge of allegiance wasn't too demanding, born and raised in Xia Country, he naturally wouldn't resist it much.
The Innate Guiding Skill was nearing Perfection.
Jiang Shu then drew his alloy battle knife, practicing the Four Seasons Blade Technique.
Spring Rain.
Summer Thunder.
Autumn Wind.
Combined with the three kinds of True Strength, the proficiency on the display panel visibly increased each day.
It was just quite unfortunate that his Xuanwu True Force wasn't yet strong enough. It needed to continuously suppress the Cold Poison, which prevented him from reaching entry-level with the Winter Snow of his Four Seasons Blade Technique.
「Time passed, and the sun began to set outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.」
The cellphone on the shoe cabinet rang.
"Whew, I've finally completed all the procedures. My dear Boss Jiang, with just one word from you, I ran around for two or three days."
