Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 421 Greatsword Enhancement (3K+) (Bonus Chapter)

"Tao Pai Pai, this [Virtual Core] is quite extraordinary. The [Sage's] ability is indeed amazing, but it only slightly exceeds the value of this Virtual Core. It's not worth me giving up another amazing silver story equipment~"

The collar of the glazed purple robe was wide open, and his expression and tone were quite alluring, but Bai Cangshu was not tempted. He simply took out the scarlet drop card of the Sage from the stall and tossed it up to play with it.

"Since it's so precious, I think we should wait for someone else to trade with it."

This woman possesses a certain causal ability, and in order to help the sage understand the demon, she had prepared two precious tools long ago.

Moreover, he deliberately chose the area of ​​his soul-side abilities that he had not exposed to others.

Even Black Butler only looks for abilities and items related to martial arts, which gives her a huge competitive advantage.

Conversely, how could she possibly give up a deal that she went through so much trouble to achieve?

Bai Cangshu smiled, revealing the woman's greed.

As she gathered her collar, she realized how difficult Tao Baibai was to deal with. She also noticed that the women from the West District were gathered around the intelligence broker, Black Butler, discussing various offers and actively seeking a deal.

She was well aware of the power of the [Song] gathering, which had come across regions at great expense to trade. Even if the goal was the demi-human bloodline items, it was hard to say whether they would be tempted to bid once they understood the value of Tao Pai Pai's other items.

She was quick-witted and made decisions decisively. Just as Hongchen was about to make a deal, she smiled and conceded.

"Mr. Tao Pai Pai is quite easily amused. These two props of mine were specially found for you, so how could I waste this transaction?"

“Mr. Tao Pai Pai, besides this drop card, I think offering one more B-rank Singularity would be a reasonable price…”

"In return, I can tell you something—something that will allow this [Virtual Core] to function at its maximum potential. How about it?"

Bai Cangshu pondered for a moment and then agreed to the deal.

Unbeknownst to these people, before being killed, the Sage had already lost the extraordinary power of the Dreamer sequence due to the Altar of Gods, and now only had the power of the Cognitive Demon left, thus diminishing the value of the dropped card.

At the same time, the [Lion River Plains Brass Knuckle] was not as bad as Bai Cangshu deliberately made it out to be. The so-called side effect of consuming soul energy was hardly a price to pay for Bai Cangshu.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, there weren't many souls with powerful combat abilities at the moment, but there were hundreds of thousands of spirits that could be used as batteries!

The other [Virtual Core], however, gave Bai Cangshu even greater possibilities.

Bai Cangshu is someone who is willing to accept any price for power. He has no bloodline obsession, nor does he believe that power can be divided into good and evil.

To become stronger, he was willing to accept even true "etherealization," as long as he believed he could overcome that kind of erosion...

Bai Cangshu raised his hand to face the glaze crack.

You have lost one Grade B Singularity.

You have lost 1 Crimson Drop Card.

You have obtained the item "Lion River Plains Brass Knuckles".

You have obtained the item "Virtual Core".

[AV17555631 (Cracked Glaze) has contacted us: Someone in the Throne of Reality has access to Fullbring and Intangibility. You can try your luck at booth A-04.]

The woman, clutching the sage's scarlet drop card, relayed the message to Bai Cangshu via spatial communication, then smiled and waved goodbye as she left.

The Phasehound followed the woman away without saying a word. Since the woman appeared, his gaze had not fallen on Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu completed the transaction, examining the two newly acquired items while waiting for Hongchen to speak.

"Tao Pai Pai, do you want these two manuals or not?"

Hongchen was getting anxious as he watched Tao Baibai quickly complete the transactions with both parties.

He didn't want the Naya bloodline item, nor did he think he could compete with the women who came from another region.

The other party must have come with a large amount of resources.

Bai Cangshu looked at the manuals for the Cloud-Dispelling Palm and the Three-Part Divine Finger in Hongchen's hands, but did not show any eagerness.

To be honest, he learned these martial arts mainly for the ability to control energy with the Three-Point Divine Finger, but after the Extra-Limit Spiral awakened and was strengthened to the second level, this need was greatly reduced.

He doesn't lack the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi technique now.

Hongchen also understood Tao Baibai's meaning. He had thought that since Luo Xi had given Tao Baibai the Wind God Leg and Heavenly Frost Fist, the remaining two manuals should be able to be sold at a premium. However, he did not expect that Tao Baibai had already lost interest.

If you make another bid at this point, the price will inevitably be pushed down to a very low level.

He calmed down and stopped making offers. Instead, he looked for something useful to him at Bai Cangshu's stall.

"This [Dust Escape] technique..."

"No change."

Bai Cangshu directly refused, stating that the [Dust Escape Cultivation Scroll] was more effective than the Cloud Dispelling Palm and the Three-Part Returning Origin Qi.

Such abilities in high-level martial arts worlds either lack destructive power or have extremely high entry barriers, making them difficult for newcomers to acquire. In today's dimensional space, the number of users is far less than the number of chakra users.

"Then this [Bloodline Item - Berserker (Improved - Tier 2)]..."

Bai Cangshu frowned. Bloodline items are quite valuable, and this particular item was obtained from the [Black Knight]'s drop card. It's an improved and enhanced bloodline, and judging from its performance in battle, it can activate a second berserk mode.

Its burst damage in direct combat is quite outstanding.

"Not enough." Among items of the same level, bloodline items are always more expensive than other items because the enhancements obtained from bloodline items are immediate.

After successfully strengthening one's bloodline, one will immediately gain a significant boost in attributes, along with some special abilities and characteristics.

Hongchen knew this too, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out another item.

[1 Bodhi Leaf]

【Quality: Exquisitely Rare】

[Description: Legend has it that this Bodhi leaf grew at the place where Bodhidharma attained enlightenment, and it is said to have the effect of granting understanding of worldly principles and mastery of martial arts.]

[Effect 1: When held in the mouth, the speed of martial arts specialization and ability improvement during cultivation increases by 100%]

[Effect 2: After complete digestion, it will directly increase the cultivated ability and specialty by one level]

Bai Cangshu's eyes lit up.

"You actually have such a good thing."

In Bai Cangshu's view, this thing was far more valuable than the Cloud-Dispelling Palm and the Three-Part Returning Origin Qi.

Bai Cangshu always kept a book called "Imperial Supreme Technique" in his backpack, but he had been unable to comprehend its abilities until now.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to improve Bai Cangshu's martial arts proficiency level after entering the advanced level of Lv7. For example, Li Qingzi's sword proficiency level was almost entirely improved by exhausting her massive amount of dimensional points and singularities in the training ground.

With this, martial arts expertise can be improved twice as fast.

"If you still have this, we can do other transactions. If you want this Dust Release technique..."

Hongchen quickly waved his hand. If he didn't want to rebuild his own team, he wouldn't have even taken out this Bodhi leaf.

The Chaos Sage has been destroyed, and the key that allows stable access to the Wind and Cloud World has been lost. It will be extremely difficult to find it in the future.

He only kept two pieces in total, and giving one away in exchange for a bloodline item with considerable survival and combat capabilities was already the limit.

Fortunately, with this bloodline item, it won't be difficult to train another [Black Knight].

Moreover, he was confident that the person he had chosen would definitely not be as useless as the original "Black Knight".

The two quickly completed the transaction.

Seeing that Echo and the Black Butler were still calculating, it was clear that they could not convert that S-class singularity into an item or ability of equivalent value to a demi-human bloodline item in such a short time.

He wasn't in a hurry. The demi-human bloodline items were among the most attractive items. As long as they were on his stall for a day, a steady stream of information brokers and teams would come to offer him prices.

Bai Cangshu patted Li Qingzi's head, then playfully leaned close to her ear and whispered...
"I wasn't killed, am I a little... disappointed?"

Li Qingzi remained silent. She was naturally disappointed, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of relief that was hard to express.

Bai Cangshu, a madman, is naturally terrifying as an enemy, but when he is on the same side, he gives people an indescribable sense of "security".

No matter how dangerous Xu Zhiyu was, Yi Xin felt much more at ease because she brought Bai Cangshu back to Goryeo.

Bai Cangshu pinched the woman's fair chin and kneaded it a couple of times, and as he wished, he saw granular bumps begin to appear on the woman's delicate skin.

"Hey, your reaction is still so funny..."

Li Qingzi gritted her teeth, her desire for power rekindling once more.

Bai Cangshu, like a demon who sees through people's hearts, spoke at just the right moment.

"Go ahead, I'll allow you to spend... um, one Class B Singularity, how about it?"

Li Qingzi knew that the singularities and dimensional points she forced those people to hand over before they died in B711 had all been seen by them without reservation, and the slaves had no chance of preserving their own resources.

This time, however, she did not remain silent or resist; instead, she nodded obediently.

"Hmm, one Class B Singularity is enough..."

Before she went to the last world, she had her eye on a similarly dangerous form of enhancement!

Having experienced the failure of B711's attempt to assassinate Tang Sanzang in collaboration with the inner demon, and now being reminded by Bai Cangshu of her lowly status as a slave, her thirst for power surpassed the pride of the so-called eldest daughter of the March Consortium.

"Great, I'm liking you more and more, haha~"

Bai Cangshu looked at Li Qingzi with satisfaction, as if he were looking at a red apple that was gradually ripening under his care.

He released her hand and chuckled softly in her ear.

"Be stronger, woman."

"The weak will be abandoned..."

Li Qingzi did not answer, but after Bai Cangshu left, she quickly found booth B-33.

The stall owner was a woman carrying a large silver sword. Her long, black hair was curly and hung down. The woman also recognized the reincarnator wearing a half-mask.

"It's you. It seems you've gained confidence in controlling demonic power."

"I hope you don't fall into the trap of becoming an Awakened One in the real world, that would cause quite a bit of trouble."
