Spending Money Even When Broke

If the Huangyan Armor is for defense, then the purpose of the Huangyan Divine Wings is naturally for self-preservation.

The Huangyan Divine Wings also possess two forms, with the same activation requirements as the Huangyan Armor; for Qin Cang, activating the first layer is naturally a simple task.

Only after reaching the Immortal level can one activate the second layer.

With the augmentation of the Huangyan Divine Wings, Qin Cang is confident that his flight speed could even rival that of the top-tier experts among the Kings.

More importantly, these Huangyan Divine Wings exist as part of a Heavy Treasure set, and the same applies to the Huangyan Claw; they can all be detached and equipped individually.

Of course, if detached, the camouflage effect is lost.

After all, the disguise as an Immortal spirit relies on the seamless secret patterns on the Heavy Treasure; once separated, the patterns are incomplete, though the attack and defense effects remain unchanged.

Doing this has both pros and cons. If encountering certain special regions, the Yan God Clan clone can naturally equip the Huangyan Divine Wings alone for exploration. However, most of the time, they will certainly be equipped on the Crowned Python Clone, as only the Crowned Python Clone can perfectly integrate the various functions of the Huangyan Battle Armor, and disguising as an Immortal spirit will almost never arouse anyone's suspicion.

The final piece, the Huangyan Claw, actually gives Qin Cang a bit of a headache, as he has never systematically studied claw techniques. If he wants to use it, he must learn a claw technique separately to maximize its utility.

Since he began his cultivation, he has always favored long weapons; guns, halberds, and spears are what he uses most comfortably, and among these three, the long spear is his favorite.

Of course, if he were to use spears or halberds, it wouldn't be a major issue for him; it would just be a matter of adapting, as the principles of using long weapons are always similar, with only minor differences.

But now, having been given a claw-type Heavy Treasure out of thin air, it would be a waste of a precious item if he only used it as a simple "Heavy Treasure function activation button." He must find a way to put it to use.

Although there aren't many strong human experts who use claw techniques, there are still quite a few. With my attainments in the laws, I don't need to become a master of claw techniques; I just need to learn a few simple ones to unleash the power of the Huangyan Claw, Qin Cang thought.

Fortunately, he still has plenty of points. After clearing the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain, he received a reward of 100 million points, and after clearing the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain, he received a reward of a full 3 billion points.

Although these rewards are only distributed upon reaching the World Lord level, after repaying the tens of millions of points borrowed from his senior brother, Blood Blade King, the remaining points—1 billion used to purchase Space-Time Essays, another 1 billion for Black Hole Evolution, and finally 850 million spent on the Crowned Python Clone to increase amplitude—were accounted for.

As for the other various scattered secret techniques and amplitude techniques, they cost another tens of millions of points, and a portion was left for his family to secure their future.

Of course, he also has quite a few Hunyuan Units, mainly obtained while serving as an Inspector; he spent a lot, but a portion still remains.

"Pato, organize my remaining assets," Qin Cang commanded. Statistical tasks like this are definitely handled more proficiently by an intelligent life form.

"Master, you finally remembered me. Your current remaining points are 32,511,458, and your remaining Hunyuan Units are 6,520,014. Master, this is all your remaining cash. Is there anything you need me to do?" Pato asked seriously. As an intelligent life form with its own personality, it had inexplicably shed its usual cheeky demeanor today.

Thirty-two million points and 6.52 million Hunyuan Units—this is all the remaining cash assets Qin Cang possesses.

The bulk of this, of course, is the 3 billion points awarded for clearing the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain.

If one considers these assets, they are naturally quite substantial; even for a Marquis Immortal, this would be a massive fortune. But for Qin Cang, such a small amount is far from enough. If nothing else, he still hasn't purchased the Fire God Source Crystal or the detector.

Neither of these two items is cheap.

"Forget it, I didn't expect points to be spent so quickly. Let's put the Fire God Source Crystal aside for now; the detector is the priority. Going to the Outer-Region Battlefield without a detector is practically impossible. For now, let's just find a claw technique manual. It doesn't need to be too expensive, just enough for me to use."

"Pato, help me search for some claw technique manuals. Preferably those related to the Law of Fire and the Law of Space, or even just the Law of Space alone," Qin Cang commanded.

"Understood, Master. Searching for you now," Pato replied.

As a top-tier intelligent life form, Pato's computational power is naturally extremely high. Before long, it had selected a few suitable claw-type secret techniques.

"Master, according to my search, the following three claw techniques are most suitable for your cultivation characteristics," Pato said, then proceeded to introduce the information on these three techniques.

"The first technique is called Shattered Shadow. It is a claw technique created purely from the Law of Space. The style focuses on close-quarters combat, which is extremely suitable for your characteristics."

"The second is called Seven Kills of Burning Sky. This is a claw technique created by merging the Law of Space and the Law of Fire. It has seven forms, each more fierce than the last, and can be called the synonym for domineering claw techniques."

"And this third technique is called Nine Absolute World-Severing. It is a secret technique created by a King-level human expert who specialized in claw techniques. It is said that this person's strength is not much inferior to Blood Blade King, which is why I am recommending this technique to you. However, neither the style nor the law path is very suitable for you."

"Overall, I still recommend the first two techniques. While Nine Absolute World-Severing is certainly powerful, it may not be suitable. The first two are better for you."

"Then do as you said and place an order for these two techniques, one Shattered Shadow and one Seven Kills of Burning Sky. Also, place an order for a claw-type weapon made of Grade G metal; the style should match the Huangyan Claw."

"Additionally, help me check the prices of detectors. I still need to purchase a detector," Qin Cang said.

"I have already checked. Given your current point situation, the best combination is this," Pato explained the information to Qin Cang.

Since Qin Cang only needed to purchase a detector, there was naturally no need to save points. Pato was not at all reserved and recommended two extremely high-end detectors.

The first detector is the A123-19837 model: detection radius of 300 million kilometers, priced at 20 million points (40% discount for the Primal Secret Region).

The second detector is the SU987-383919 model: detection radius of 20 kilometers, also priced at 20 million points, with the same 40% discount.

The total price for both detectors is 40 million points, which comes to 24 million points after the discount.

With the two secret techniques and the claw-type weapon costing a total of nearly 4 million points, this shopping trip cost nearly 28 million out of 30 million points, leaving only 2 million points and 6.5 million Hunyuan Units in reserve.

"Then place the order," Qin Cang didn't care about the price; points are meant to be spent.

Hearing Qin Cang's words, Pato hurried to comply. One has to marvel at the convenience of the Virtual Universe; the two secret techniques were delivered directly within the Virtual Universe, which was incredibly fast. As for the claw-type weapon and the two types of detectors, they were all set to be delivered to the manor within Wuchen Spacetime, as the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass is located there.
