Chapter 238: Chapter 160: The Three Great Blade Techniques, Combined into One Move, Once Again Demonstrating the Talent for Learning!

The filter shattered again.

Qin Shi contemplated inwardly, initially believing that someone as extraordinary as He Lanchan should be roaming the Star Sea, experiencing secret realms, and carving out a niche with his fists. Who would have thought he would rely on mining in the Netherworld and work for Entropy Sea Bank.

"Is the end of the universe really just cows and horses? Even half-step Martial Gods are no exception."

Qin Shi couldn’t help but think.

"To become a true giant, unaffected or constrained by any superpowers, one must not only be extremely powerful but also master resources! Resources determine the future. If you don’t have the ability to create or monopolize resources, you will ultimately be unable to compete with those mega-corporations or consortiums and will be easily manipulated!"

Super Xiao He said expressionlessly.

"Just as Dongxia’s Great Expedition and Great Pioneer, only by continually acquiring and producing resources can we avoid being choked."

Qin Shi understood, having seen many examples in historical readings.

During Dongxia’s glorious imperial era, its radiance illuminated the Galaxy, and no superpower dared to underestimate it.

But the subsequent Star God Wars and Iron People’s rebellion severely weakened the Dongxia Empire, forcing it into a period of fragmentation and continuous turmoil and darkness, until the Nine Marshals emerged and restored order, reorganizing the landscape.

Yet during this process, there were indeed instances of being oppressed and suppressed by superpowers.

Such as the "resource sanctions" and "blockade of trade routes" written into history books.

If it wasn’t for the Nine Marshals’ campaigns to reclaim lost territories and achieve significant victories.

Dongxia might have been divided and devoured by superpowers like many other weak civilizations.

"Now that my spiritual level has reached great mastery in meditation, with a Dao nature avatar and Divine Residence Inner World, my mining efficiency shouldn’t be low."

Qin Shi quickly accepted the situation. The market for Void Coins was excellent, allowing him to exchange them for a vast amount of resources at Entropy Sea Bank.

"First, let’s order a batch of Star Remains and Void Marrow Crystals. It will take some time for them to be delivered anyway."

He tapped his fingers, using his account to purchase the resources. While his heart bled, he fantasized about the phenomenal effects of these items.

Quickly, his credit assessment showed that his assets had shrunk by half.

"These are within repayment scope; don’t worry about compound interest eventually leading to being entangled by a karma loan."

Qin Shi settled everything, then started practicing the Void Meditation Technique. That ancient and mysterious altar absorbed the Netherworld’s aura outside the Inner Realm.

Thin streams of gray mist flowed from above, undergoing refining by the altar, transforming into tiny visible crystals.

"The progress is still slow; at this rate, even mining for two or three days might not produce a single Void Coin."

Qin Shi focused his spiritual power intensely, feeling the waves and surges of the Netherworld ocean, akin to continuous waves hitting the shore.

Meanwhile, his mind reflected bizarre and fantastical scenes, resembling the illusions evoked by Devil Vine powder, continuously impacting his brain.

"This must be the risk involved in Netherworld mining."

Qin Shi maintained his core self, the fundamental essence of the Void Meditation Technique being extremely "self-centered," effectively resisting such intrusions.

Allowing the hallucinations and whispers of the Netherworld to proliferate and disturb his mind.

But ultimately, they were all refined cleanly by that Void Altar, eliminating all hidden dangers.

Super Xiao He’s words were true. His endowment, coupled with the Void Meditation Technique.

Was indeed worthy of the title Innate Mining Saint Body.

"With a higher level of mastery in the inheritance, mining efficiency should improve somewhat."

Qin Shi entrusted the important task to Super Xiao He, with a Dao nature avatar mining autonomously, producing one Void Coin every three days.

Accumulating over time, piling up, sooner or later he would be filthy rich!

Becoming a big shot in the coin circle starts with automated mining!

Qin Shi relaxed slightly, leaving the Inner Realm, and remarked:

"The Inner Realm’s spatial clarity and rapid mental processing, along with greatly enhanced comprehension buff, are really hard to part with."

He finally understood why the vast majority of people on the Spiritual Ability Path eventually chose to abandon their physical bodies completely, merging into the Netherworld.

The differences in paths were immense.

The Martial Arts Path enjoys the transformation of the mortal body and its strength.

Whereas the Spiritual Ability Path is the opposite, the more transcendent the mind, the more condensed the spirit, making the physical shell increasingly restrictive.

Compared to spiritual travel through the Netherworld, where the spirit can roam the skies, requiring food and being prone to injury, the useless flesh naturally became cumbersome.

"Trying to walk both paths is fraught with difficulties."

Qin Shi activated the Furnace Technique again, the surging breath flowing through every part of his body, easing the discomfort.

Fortunately, he had unity of spirit and body, merging both, allowing him to be compatible with both paths.

"Assistant Qin, someone was looking for you just now."

Lin Yunqing had already assumed the role of an agent. Seeing Qin Shi finish cultivation, she quickly said:

"Senior Inspector Tan Cong from the Inspection Department’s Operations Department, he has something to discuss with you."

Qin Shi remembered. He had mentioned to Old Chen last time about finding a teacher to learn weapon combat.

On the Martial Arts Path, armed combat is fundamentally different from unarmed combat.

The former increases combat effectiveness by at least thirty percent.

"Alright, I got it."

Qin Shi nodded, took the elevator down to the first floor, grabbed a few High-Energy Protein Bars and cans from the fridge, and started replenishing his consumption.

"Uncle Chen sent over the internal data. Assistant Qin, you need to pay extra attention to a few people."

Lin Yunqing was fully professional, having investigated the popular contestants of the top hundred tournament.

She spread out several photos and pointed to one of them:

"Zhou Yuanchen. A graduate of Qiguang Heng University, already on the cusp of the Specialized Level, poised to acquire the martial artist title, an exceptional talent.
