Martial Dao Mall

"Luo Hongqin." Su You whispered the name, and the image of an elderly woman with graying hair and a kind face immediately surfaced in his mind.

She was the grandmother of Tang Yongqing and Tang Yongyuan, and also the aunt of Luo Feng's father, Luo Hongguo.

"Should I just go along with Yongqing and latch onto City Lord Luo's thick thigh for the future?" Su You frowned, lowering his head in thought.

After hesitating for a while, Su You still couldn't make up his mind. "Forget it, I'll think about it later. The original story didn't have a variable like me, so I'll just take it one step at a time for now!"

Just then, Su You's consciousness shuddered, as if he had instantly arrived in a strange place—a vast, boundless, and empty void.

A golden light struck, arriving before Su You in an instant and forming a screen of light. At the very top were the four large characters "Martial Dao Mall," with the four slightly smaller characters "Cultivation Techniques and Moves" written in the lower-left, and the word "Items" in the lower-right.

"Martial Dao Mall? Cultivation Techniques and Moves? Items?" Su You was stunned, his mood instantly surging with excitement. "Could it be that I really have a golden finger?"

After a moment, Su You steadied himself, his thoughts beginning to drift.

"This must be my sea of consciousness, right?" As a powerhouse who had transmigrated after reading novels, he was no stranger to such scenes; he had imagined this countless times in his head before transmigrating.

After a brief moment of reflection, Su You focused his consciousness directly on the words "Cultivation Techniques and Moves." The entire screen shifted instantly, and beneath the header, lines of text smaller than the original four characters appeared.

Su You cast his gaze to the very first line, and his eyes went blank.

"Seven Swords of Jietian complete edition, price: 100 million merit points."

"Seven Swords of Jietian? Merit points? The Supreme of One World?" Su You was somewhat bewildered.

Since his memory had strengthened, he remembered most of his past life's memories very clearly, and this novel he had read was no exception. Su You hurriedly moved his gaze downward.

"Golden Tome of Yuanshi complete edition, price: 100 million merit points."

"Wuwei Sutra complete edition, price: 100 million merit points."

"Zhuxian Sword Scripture complete edition, price: 100 million merit points."

"Buddha's Palm complete edition, price: 95 million merit points."

"Eight-Nine Profound Art complete edition, price: 95 million merit points."

Beneath the twenty techniques on the first page of the screen, there was a line of blood-red text: Cultivation techniques and moves exchanged from the Martial Dao Mall must not be spread to others.

"Heh, erasure?" Su You muttered to himself, then shifted his gaze to the very bottom of the screen, where a line of data appeared:

[Merit Points: 1000]

Su You looked at the twenty techniques on the first page; even the cheapest one, the Jade Tome of the Heavenly Emperor, cost 60 million merit points, and he immediately felt the sting of poverty.

"How is one supposed to increase these merit points? There isn't even a system to issue missions!" Su You was puzzled. He observed carefully for a long time but could not find a way to earn merit points.

"Other people's systems have system spirits; why doesn't this Martial Dao Mall even have a shopping guide?" Su You grumbled inwardly while focusing his consciousness on the word "Items." The content on the screen changed instantly.

"Cause of All Fruits, price: 1 billion merit points."

"Human Emperor Sword, price: 50 million merit points."

"Bagua Furnace, price: 50 million merit points."

"Seal of Samsara, price: 50 million merit points."

The first page also contained twenty lines. Except for the Cause of All Fruits in the first row, the items in the other nineteen rows were all priced at 50 million merit points.

Beneath the list of twenty items was a line of pale green text: (Note: The spirituality of these Other Shore-level divine weapons is incomplete.)

"It's still this expensive even with incomplete spirituality?" Su You habitually complained, then began to carefully examine the various techniques and items in the Martial Dao Mall.

As he flipped through the directory of techniques and moves, Su You nodded in admiration. "Heh, this mall is quite user-friendly. Not only can you purchase them by realm, but you can also buy individual moves. Not bad at all!"

"In The Supreme of One World, one starts by cultivating true qi, but in Swallowed Star, one cultivates genetic energy. Can these techniques still be used here?" Su You couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful.

"Hmm, I'll exchange for a basic one to test it out first." Su You quickly made up his mind and clicked on the Eight-Nine Profound Art, which was near the top of the list.

If these techniques could be used in the world of Swallowed Star, the Eight-Nine Profound Art would be his most desired choice. It allowed for all-weather, all-terrain, and all-condition combat without restrictions. Although it wasn't the absolute strongest, it belonged to the top tier and was definitely the most comprehensive technique among them.

"Eight-Nine Profound Art Qi Accumulation Chapter, price: 100 merit points."

"Eight-Nine Profound Art Opening Apertures Chapter, price: 1000 merit points."

After 100 merit points were deducted, the content of the Eight-Nine Profound Art Qi Accumulation Chapter appeared directly in his mind.

Su You withdrew his consciousness. Although he still had 900 merit points left, there was no need to rush into choosing more; he would wait until the test of the Eight-Nine Profound Art was finished.

"Just as I expected, the influx of cosmic energy has stopped!" Su You let out a sigh of relief, sat up, and resumed the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method posture.

Before testing the Eight-Nine Profound Art, he still had to practice the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method to truly absorb cosmic energy and optimize his genetic level.

Cosmic energy surged into Su You's body almost instantly, then was frantically devoured by every cell in his body.

Su You's skin, muscles, bones, and cells were all undergoing changes, and his entire life's genetic level seemed to have undergone a certain degree of optimization.

Feeling the essential changes happening to his body, Su You thought silently:

"Because I have never consciously absorbed cosmic energy before, this first time will be the most significant absorption. I wonder how many hours I can keep this up?"

"Should I try the Eight-Nine Profound Art?" Su You suddenly wondered. The Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method was, in fact, just a way to sense cosmic energy; a guiding technique was the true method for cultivating genetic energy.

"Theoretically speaking, shouldn't the Eight-Nine Profound Art also be considered a type of guiding technique?" Su You pondered silently, while simultaneously beginning to guide the cosmic energy surging into his body according to the contents of the Qi-Accumulation chapter of the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

Very quickly, the cosmic energy inside his body formed 720 small vortices, and Su You immediately sensed that the amount of cosmic energy each of his cells could contain had increased significantly; each one seemed to have developed a "greatly increased appetite."

The cosmic energy from the outside world was no longer limited to surging in through the "five hearts," but was instead pouring in directly through all 720 acupuncture points across his entire body, at a speed at least ten times faster than when he had only used the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method.

The changes to the genes within Su You's body also accelerated significantly; his bone density increased, his cell volume shrank, his muscle tissue began to optimize, and the power contained within his body became increasingly terrifying.

PS: The cultivation techniques and weapons in the Martial Dao Mall are primarily referenced from The Supreme of One World. Even if you haven't read it, it won't affect your understanding, as most of the techniques or divine weapons are familiar to everyone.
