Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality
Chapter 145: Revised - 122 Insane Spending, Progress Boost!

Chapter 145: Revised: Chapter 122 Insane Spending, Progress Boost!

This is the advantage of choosing a mentor, the resources in the mentor’s guarded area.

The cultivation resources required for cultivating techniques are produced in the mentor’s guarded area.

For instance, the Life and Death Fruit that Lu Sheng exchanged is a special product within the Life Factions, harvested from a planet called Kurong Star. It’s an excellent cultivation resource to assist in cultivating the "Life and Death Technique."

"Besides this, there’s also the ’Undying Technique’ that Second Senior Brother mentioned."

Lu Sheng glanced at the price of the ’Undying Technique’ in the list.

"Planet-level Martial Art: Undying Technique. Cost: 500 credits!"

"Phew!"

Seeing that price, Lu Sheng gasped.

After purchasing the Inner Cave Heaven and the Sky-controlling Martial Arts, he also bought an explanation of planet-level knowledge and asked Second Senior Brother for advice.

Now, he only had 439 credits left.

He couldn’t exchange for the ’Undying Technique.’

"The ’Undying Technique’ is different from the ’Immortal Technique’ and ’Life and Death Technique.’ It’s a planet-level martial art, a combat technique, and the first main attack method that Second Senior Brother mentioned."

"The price is a bit steep, but I still need to exchange it."

Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and then opened the task list of the Life Factions.

"Fourth-level Basic Task: Clear vine insects growing on the Heaven-Reaching Vine. Reward: 0.1 credits per vine insect!"

"Fourth-level Basic Task: Extract materials from Black Profound Star, Black Profound Crystal Stone. Reward: 0.4 credits per Black Profound Crystal Stone!"

"Fourth-level Basic Task: Escort the Five Elements Caravan to Kurong Star. Reward: 10 credits!"

"..."

Looking at the dense list of tasks, Lu Sheng’s head started to ache.

Some of these tasks seemed easy, but they had one thing in common: they required an interstellar ship.

They required travel to other planets, and the basic escort tasks on his home planet Wuling Star also needed an interstellar ship.

"This is tough. I’ll have to buy my own interstellar ship. Otherwise, I won’t have credits to exchange for the ’Undying Technique’ later."

Lu Sheng rubbed his temples and eventually decided to temporarily abandon the idea of completing tasks.

"Forget it, I’ll focus on improving myself first. If I can master the ’Life and Death Technique’ early, the two planet-level techniques will complement each other, and my cultivation speed will increase."

As he spoke, Lu Sheng purchased a teaching course on the ’Life and Death Technique’ from a fifth-level senior within the Life Factions’ internal network, costing him fifty credits. He also spent a hundred credits to exchange for a Life and Death Fruit.

In total, he spent another 150 credits.

"Now I understand why Senior Brother Du Bai took thirty years to buy his own Giant Divine Soldier. Besides the cultivation expenses, Senior Brother Du Bai had it tough for thirty years!"

Lu Sheng sighed, then received the ’Life and Death Technique’ that was sent over and opened the recently purchased course, sending a connection request to the fifth-level senior.

...

A day later, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on his bed, with a faint Death Qi circling around the vigorous life force inside his body, slowly dispersing from within.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared on his lips.

"I’ve mastered the ’Life and Death Technique’!"

Lu Sheng smiled, and with a thought, his system panel appeared before him.

"Aside from the ’Life and Death Technique,’ I have also mastered the ’Five Elements Mini World’ and the sky-controlling martial art, ’Heaven-Stepping Step.’ Now, I have the ability to fly!"

"With the ’Five Elements Mini World,’ I’ve created a small world inside me that can currently hold ten cubic meters of space."

The ’Five Elements Mini World’ is a technique Lu Sheng chose for his Inner Cave Heaven. It fits well with Lu Sheng’s Power of the Five Elements and, if perfected, can expand the space to ten thousand cubic meters, evolving into a Five Elements Grotto Heaven.

However, most people don’t bother to raise the ’Five Elements Mini World’ beyond a few levels.

After all, the more the ’Five Elements Mini World’ is cultivated, the harder it becomes, requiring the absorption of a lot of Power of the Five Elements and consuming vast resources.

To perfect the ’Five Elements Mini World’ would require more resources than planet-level knowledge.

As for the ’Heaven-Stepping Step,’ it was a sky-controlling martial art chosen by Lu Sheng. Even at the beginner level, it allows Lu Sheng to reach speeds of Mach 100.

If he could perfect it, the speed would increase to Mach 10,000.

"Perfecting these two essential techniques will bring me significant benefits."

Lu Sheng smiled, and both techniques started to operate simultaneously inside him, with Lu Sheng silently feeling the changes brought by their concurrent operation.

"My cultivation efficiency has indeed increased. When I was only cultivating the ’Immortal Technique,’ it took me ten days to advance 1 point in cultivation progress. But with the ’Life and Death Technique,’ it’s reduced to eight days for a 1-point advancement. And with the levels of both techniques rising, my cultivation efficiency will further increase!"

Lu Sheng felt a surge of excitement.

"I haven’t used the Life and Death Fruit yet, so I can exchange for a bottle of Life Essence Liquid. I’ll make the most of this time to improve my progress in both techniques!"

Thinking this, Lu Sheng unhesitatingly spent two hundred credits to exchange for a bottle of Life Essence Liquid and another fifty credits for a fifth-level senior’s course on the ’Immortal Technique.’

After doing all this, his credits were down to double digits.

"Phew, I have seventy-nine credits left. Once I improve my progress in both techniques, I’ll seek out Senior Brother Du Bai to buy an interstellar ship with Federation Points to take on tasks and earn credits."

Lu Sheng smiled, and upon receiving the exchanged Life Essence Liquid at the residence’s transfer point, he opened the recently purchased course and sent a connection request to the teaching fifth-level senior.

...

Time flew by, quickly passing ten days.

During these ten days, Lu Sheng had been intensely focusing on advancing his ’Immortal Technique’ and ’Life and Death Technique,’ aided by the Life and Death Fruit and Life Essence Liquid.

This made Lu Sheng’s progress with the two techniques advance rapidly.
