Shopping at the Mall (New)

The next day, Kazuhiko Uchiha had his mindset back in order and browsed the Myriad Worlds Mall again, searching for items that suited him.

After looking through the listings, Kazuhiko Uchiha decided to buy a quality weapon first to improve his offensive power.

With a few simple filters applied, information on several weapons appeared before Kazuhiko Uchiha.

[Heaven-Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber]: Lower-tier mid-rank Silver. Anyone wounded by this saber will have all their blood essence and soul devoured and refined by it. Its wielder can use this to improve their cultivation. Price: 1,800 gold coins.

...

[Hanguang Sword]: Lower-tier mid-rank Black Iron. An invisible sword that can change shape at will. Price: 2 gold coins.

[White Jade Horsetail Whisk Sword]: Lower-tier lower-rank Black Iron. Made from ten-thousand-year-old cold jade, it is harder than refined steel and releases cold air when swung. Price: 1 gold coin.

Of these weapons, the one that tempted Kazuhiko Uchiha most was the Heaven-Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber from the Legend of the Swordsmen of Mount Shu world. Unfortunately, it was far too expensive. Unless his next mission yielded valuable items to exchange, as his trip to the Captain America world had, he would have to wait until he grew stronger and completed more high-level missions.

After a difficult selection process, Kazuhiko Uchiha chose a budget version of the Heaven-Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber: the Black-Winged Blood Blade, a weapon better suited to his current abilities.

The Black-Winged Blood Blade was the weapon of Vampire K in the Zombie Brother world. Its black-and-red blade was over a meter long, its hilt was shaped like a vampire bat, and notches lined both its spine and edge. In both function and appearance, it suited Kazuhiko Uchiha's needs perfectly.

Taking the Black-Winged Blood Saber out of the space, Kazuhiko Uchiha made a few slashes to either side. He found that its weight was just right, and it made very little noise as it cut through the air. It was well suited to high-speed combat between ninja and offered excellent value for money.

Kazuhiko Uchiha raised the Black-Winged Blood Saber and swung it at a refined-steel kunai he had purchased in Konoha. With barely any force, he sliced the kunai in two. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, while the saber's edge bore not a single scratch.

"A fine blade."

In the Naruto World, the Black-Winged Blood Saber was more than a match for Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword and could be counted among the very best weapons. Whether it could withstand weapons made from Truth-Seeking Orbs created through Yin-Yang Release, however, could only be determined in actual combat.

Thoroughly satisfied with the weapon, Kazuhiko Uchiha returned it to the system space, then continued browsing the Myriad Worlds Mall for other items.

To make full use of the Black-Winged Blood Blade's abilities, Kazuhiko Uchiha decided to purchase a saber or sword technique manual to replace the Konoha Style Basic Swordsmanship he currently used.

[Wind Spirit Sword Art]: Lower-tier mid-rank Bronze. A wind-attribute sword art consisting of eight forms. Price: 74 gold coins.

[Withered Glory Sword Art]: Lower-tier lower-rank Bronze. A Buddhist sword art requiring insight into the meaning of life and death. Consists of eight forms. Price: 62 gold coins.

...

[Demon Saber Technique]: Upper-tier mid-rank Black Iron. Its basic techniques are the Five Demon Saber Forms; further techniques can be developed independently. Drawback: those with weak wills will lose control. Price: 36 gold coins.

[Eight Methods of the Well]: Mid-tier mid-rank Black Iron. Incorporates military strategy into saber techniques, with each form embodying the principles of warfare. Consists of eight saber forms. Price: 20 gold coins.

[Nine Swords of Dugu]: Mid-tier lower-rank Black Iron. Consists of nine sword forms and emphasizes anticipating the enemy's moves. Requires mastery of the I Ching Eight Trigrams. Price: 19 gold coins.

...

[Mount Heng Sword Style]: Lower-tier lower-rank Black Iron. Meticulous and tightly structured, with a focus on defense. Price: 1 gold coin.

There were still plenty of sword arts to choose from. After weighing their power, cultivation requirements, price, and other factors, Kazuhiko Uchiha chose the Wind Spirit Sword Art for its excellent value.

The Wind Spirit Sword Art was the primary sword-based combat art of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Battle Through the Heavens world. It had five basic sword forms and three secret techniques, and its difficulty was moderate. Its strongest secret technique rivaled a Six Paths-level attack, making it more than sufficient for the battles Kazuhiko Uchiha would face in the early and middle stages of his time in the Naruto World.

After purchasing the Wind Spirit Sword Art, Kazuhiko Uchiha had only 82 gold coins left. Although that was not enough to buy another high-level item, it did not stop him from doing some research for future purchases.

For external cultivation, he had the Bronze-grade Bloodfiend Undying Body, so there was no need to replace it with a higher-level technique just yet. For mental power, the Sunstrider Meditation was also sufficient for his current level. With the newly purchased Bloodwing Black Saber and Wind Spirit Sword Art covering weapons and combat techniques, Kazuhiko Uchiha decided to save more gold coins and replace his internal cultivation method with a higher-level one.

"System, do you have any good recommendations for cultivation methods?" Unable to make up his mind, Kazuhiko Uchiha turned to the system for help.

"Host, all the myriad worlds evolved from the highest-level Primordial World. I recommend choosing an orthodox immortal cultivation method for internal cultivation," the system suggested without hesitation.

"Immortal cultivation, huh? All right, show me those methods." Kazuhiko Uchiha accepted the system's advice and used the filter again.

This time, rather than searching for low-level methods, Kazuhiko Uchiha set his sights on Silver-grade ones.

?[Samsara Five-Elements Art]: Upper-tier mid-rank Silver. A Mystic-grade immortal cultivation method allowing cultivation up to the Great Ascension stage. Price: 10,000 gold coins.

...

[Blood God Scripture-Good Volume]: Mid-tier upper-rank Silver. The primary volume of an Earth-grade immortal cultivation method, allowing cultivation up to the Great Ascension stage. Price: 7,500 gold coins.

[Incense-Burning Jade Book]: Lower-tier mid-rank Silver. A partial volume of an Earth-grade immortal cultivation method, allowing cultivation up to the peak of the Body Integration stage. Price: 2,000 gold coins.

...

The thousands of Silver-grade immortal cultivation manuals left Kazuhiko Uchiha burning with desire, while their steep prices made him keenly aware of his poverty. After making his choice, he reluctantly closed the Myriad Worlds Mall.

Leaving his room, Kazuhiko Uchiha reported to the Konoha jonin leading their group at the inn, then headed out to explore Kumogakure, whose surroundings were completely different from Konoha's.
