Chapter 276 Manifold Barrier

 Ji Xinghuo calmed down.

However, when he saw the transaction prices of the other two Paradise Diamonds, both of which were less than 500 points, he felt a little regretful.

 I still underestimated the value of merit, and the price of 1,500 merit points was too high.

 In the next auction, if you get 1,000 points of Everlasting Merit, you should be able to win it.

 “There are still 1,700 points of merit.”

Ji Xinghuo took out the Eternal Day Badge to check, and took pictures of the Black Eternal Crystal Battle Bow and the Heavenly Diamond. A total of 105 ether crystals and 1800 merit points were used. If you still want to bid for the Diamond of Heaven, you have more than enough merit, but you don't have enough ether crystals.

“We must find a way to earn aether crystals.” He thought, there can never be too much of a good thing like the Diamond in Paradise.

Although I can only use one for myself, my family and friends can all use it.

 It can also be sold.

Or exchange the Paradise Diamond for other treasures. Just from the price difference, you can earn a lot. This is definitely a good way to make a fortune.

 The people in the auction hall gradually dispersed.

Ji Xinghuo did not rush to receive the Diamond from Paradise, but waited for more than an hour. During this period, the winged woman had already returned to the hotel with her men.

 Shortly afterwards he met Xuan Ming again.

As soon as he saw Ji Xinghuo, Xuan Ming smiled and said, "You are very smart. You captured the Diamond in Paradise at the lowest cost. Many people were scared away."

“1500 merit points is not low.” Ji Xinghuo disagreed.

Although it is very efficient to obtain merit by oneself, it is also risky on the Diyuan Star. Every bit of merit is a contribution to the Jingying Clan.

"really."

Xuan Ming nodded and handed over a box.

Ji Xinghuo opened it and saw a bright gemstone inside, about the size of his thumb. It was like a carefully cut diamond. It was crystal clear and emitted bright white light. You could directly see that it contained a pure energy inside. , similar to ether energy, but different in nature.

 This is the Diamond from Paradise!

 As long as you use one, you can get two opportunities to fuse the alien species, and you can only use it once in your life.

After carefully observing it for a few times and confirming that it was correct, Ji Xinghuo closed the box and put it in his waist bag. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Xuan Ming stopped him.

“You will also bid for the Diamond in Paradise in the future, right?”

"certainly."

Ji Xinghuo answered without hesitation.

Even though Xuan Ming just asked a question, he already guessed what the other person meant, and his face suddenly showed displeasure.

"Please don't get me wrong." Xuan Ming said calmly: "Our clan does not want to ban you from participating in the auction, nor does it want to harm your interests. It's just that your bidding strategy will interfere with the market of the Qiuzhen Auction House. It doesn't matter once or twice. But too many times will inevitably make other guards dissatisfied."

Ji Xinghuo was unmoved, "So?"

Xuan Ming replied: "My clan hopes that you will no longer participate in the bidding for the Diamond of Paradise. As compensation, you can purchase the Diamond of Paradise directly from me."

Hearing this, Ji Xinghuo was not too happy. There must be restrictions.

 “How to calculate the transaction price?” he asked.

"You don't need an ether crystal, just merit." Xuan Ming smiled, "3,000 points of merit can be exchanged for a heavenly diamond. You can buy up to six diamonds in each astral year, and it will last for up to twenty years in the future. What do you think? "

 Sure enough.

Ji Xinghuo was not surprised at all.

 A Paradise Diamond sells for 3,000 merit points. The price must be exaggerated. In the auction house, the average transaction price of the Paradise Diamond is 200 ether crystals + 400 points of merit. In conversion, I need 2,600 points of merit to buy 200 ether crystals.

If Yongzhi Merit can be traded, the ether crystal that can be exchanged for 13 points of merit will definitely be more than one.

 Two to three are possible.

Of course, the conversion between merit and crystals cannot be so simple. Although it is much easier to earn merit yourself than others, you will definitely lose money.

Ji Xinghuo did not agree immediately, "3,000 merit points is too high."

 “It’s too high for others, but it’s just right for you.”

Xuan Ming shook his head, "My clan is well aware of your strength. Before you, there were actually Yongzhi guards who were as efficient as you, or even more powerful. In order not to affect the order of the auction house, our clan came up with trading methods. , the conditions are roughly the same.”

Ji Xinghuo heard it.

This tall spider-shaped crystal hero had a smile on his face when he spoke, but there was a hint of threat in his words.

 Those who are stronger than you have accepted the conditions, and you are not qualified to refuse.

Ji Xinghuo sighed secretly.

I really don’t have the right to refuse. Only the Jingying Clan has the Paradise Diamond. The rare auction house, meritorious deeds, and the star gate of Diyuan Star are all in the hands of the Jingying Clan. In other people’s territory, outsiders have no chance to bargain. room.

 It is fair enough that the Jingying tribe is willing to propose solutions instead of directly solving the people who created the problems.

“It’s just that you can’t bid for the Diamond of Paradise, but other treasures will not be affected, right?” Ji Xinghuo asked.

  “Of course it doesn’t matter.”

Xuan Ming smiled even brighter, "As long as you agree, your Everlasting Badge will be immediately upgraded to the highest level Black Crystal Badge, and you will immediately become a distinguished Everlasting General."

These are real benefits.

The handling fee for the Black Crystal Badge has been reduced to 5%. You can save a lot of money by consigning it to auction in the future. Many stores opened by the Crystal Elites in the city have discounts.

General Yong Zhou is even more rare.

 According to their contribution to the Jingying clan, guards can be promoted to army commanders, and one level higher to General Yongzhou, which is the pinnacle of this system.

The vast majority of Yongzhou Guards remain only guards throughout their lives, and very few can be promoted to army commanders, less than 1%, and there are even fewer Yongzhou Generals.

General Yongzhou is a foreign member of the Jingying clan and can be understood as a green card on earth.

It can be unobstructed in the city. When you see the high -rise of the Jingying tribe, you can buy the real estate of Yongtian City directly, and have a lot of permissions.

For example, you can enter and exit the star gate at any time without waiting for batches.

With the Black Crystal Badge and General Yongji, you can walk sideways in the City of Yongji.

"I agree."

Ji Xinghuo nodded immediately without any resistance.

To be able to buy six Paradise Diamonds in a year requires 18,000 points of merit, which seems like a lot, but for me, merit is just an additional product.

 What you really want is spiritual energy.

Even without the Yongzhi meritorious deeds, he would have to hunt monsters on the Abyss Star for a long time, which would be a pure profit.

Xuan Ming didn't know what Ji Xinghuo was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations. There hasn't been a new General Yong Zhou for many years. You are the first one in the past hundred years. Please give me your badge."

Ji Xinghuo handed him his Everlasting Day badge.

A burst of light flashed, and there was no change on the surface of the badge, but as long as the Jingying clan took a look at it, they would know its authority level.

Ji Xinghuo got the badge back and saw the new functions.

With it, he can mobilize some of the defense sentries in the city, as well as a communication table, to communicate with the dozens of Jingying clan above at any time and put forward his own needs.

“If you want to buy the Diamond from Paradise, come to me at any time.” Xuan Ming said.

"OK."

Ji Xinghuo thanked him and left the auction house.

 He ​​originally wanted to take out the 55 ether crystals remaining in his account, but considering that he might have to bid for other things, he kept them for now. Back to the hotel, I took out the Diamond in Paradise and started admiring it.

 The brilliant gemstone is very light, weighing only a few dozen grams. When you hold it in your hand, you feel a magical attraction and want to absorb it. The way to use the Diamond of Paradise is the same as the Tears of the Stars. If you directly absorb its energy, you will get a chance to fuse.

Ji Xinghuo saw some clues.

The Diamond of Paradise should be a semi-artificial creation. The raw materials are naturally produced and then processed by the Jingying Tribe to achieve its current function.

 The light in the gem is a kind of transformed ether energy, which is very special. When it is integrated with the pure ether energy, it will produce incredible changes.

 But the specific principles cannot be explored with my shallow knowledge.

 “Absorb it first and then talk about it, so as not to have a long night and have many dreams.”

Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate.

Although I absorbed the Tears of the Stars last time and had one more chance to fuse them, it does not affect my ability to use the Diamond of Heaven.

 The remaining fusion times will not disappear, they will all remain.

 Then he placed the Diamond of Heaven on his chest.

Then he releases a weak star power, stimulating the gem, which immediately draws out the pure energy in it. It flows continuously into the body, and is absorbed by the magnetic star core in a blink of an eye, and converted into his own star power.

This energy is not huge, much smaller than Star Tears.

 It was over in less than five minutes.

Ji Xinghuo opened the interface, and his star power increased by just over 100 points, reaching 3330 points.

The nature of the star power has not changed, it is still electromagnetic star power, but after flowing through the whole body, it has undergone imperceptible transformations on his body. This transformation lasted for several hours, halfway through noon, but had already resulted in an additional fusion opportunity.

 Before dark, the chance of fusion increased again.

"finished."

Ji Xinghuo clearly felt a sense of "hungry". He had three opportunities to fuse alien species!

 “Three times…” He couldn’t help but scratch his head.

　　It is also strange. Other super aliens worked hard and bankrupted their fortunes for a chance to fuse, but it was difficult for them to obtain even a single expansion rare item.

　　It has always been a different species waiting for expansion, but I am a different species waiting for expansion.

 “There is no suitable alien species!”

Ji Xinghuo was helpless.

At present, I only have one "Ether Affinity" in my hand, but it's not time to retreat to practice, so I'm not in a hurry to integrate it.

 He took out the Eternal Day Badge to check the auction house information, but there was still no alien species he wanted.

  “Hey, you can check the store information directly.”

 Upgraded to the Black Crystal Badge, Ji Xinghuo discovered a new function.

In any store opened by the Jingying Tribe in the City of Eternal Day, you can directly check the products currently on sale without going to the store. Just like the online shopping platform on Earth, after selecting the desired product, you can have the Jingying Tribe send it to you after payment. Goods delivered to your door.

 He browsed skillfully.

 Mainly check the alien species. The Jingying Tribe’s alien species shop is very large. Many people on the plateau will come to the City of Eternal Day to sell alien species. The output of alien species on Diyuan Planet is also not low.

However, most of the variants are duplicates, and their quality is below the limit.

Suddenly the screen froze, and a message about the alien species was displayed: "Manifold barrier, excellent alien species, priced at one ether crystal or 50,000 true dragon coins."

Ji Xinghuo’s eyes lit up.

 Manifold barrier!

This is one of the Psychic Stringer's professional template abilities. Although it is only at the Excellent level, it has great potential and can greatly improve the Psychic Stringer's defense, so the price is much higher than ordinary excellent aliens.

 “Buy it.”

 He immediately paid an ether crystal.

  After a moment.

 A member of the Jingying tribe came to the hotel and personally delivered the alien species to Ji Xinghuo. The shape of this alien species is a piece of soft leather, half the size of a palm, gray in color, peeled off from an unknown monster, as thin as paper but very tough.

 Alien information popped up in the field of vision.

  【Alien: Manifold Barrier】

 【Grade: Excellent】

  【Fusion success rate: 94%】

  【Can be upgraded: Yes】

“The fusion success rate is very high!” Ji Xinghuo sighed. All alien species with a success rate of more than 90% have now proven to be very suitable for him, and the manifold barrier can be upgraded.

 “Increasing defense and improving the ability to save life is never wrong.”

 He has seen the effect of manifold barriers.

Previously, the Ice Lord who was killed in the Ice Finger Mountains had a manifold barrier with considerable defensive power. Although his javelin and lightning penetrated the barrier, it was not this ability that was at fault, but the flow of that Ice Lord. The level of the physical barrier is not high enough.

Ji Xinghuo took off his clothes, opened a wound on his chest with Lei Chi, and then put the thin leather alien on it.

 The alien species is like a sponge, sucking up blood.

 It melts quickly, like liquid seeping into the skin, and flows throughout the body in the cortex layer, from head to toe, leaving no dead spots.

During the process, Ji Xinghuo felt refreshed and cool, as if he was soaking in water.

 Skin is changing all over the body.

It was difficult for him to describe this feeling, but he understood that the manifold barrier was related to his skin. The fusion lasted for more than ten minutes. When he felt that his skin had returned to stability, the interface of Wanxiang Star Pupil showed New ability information.

 【Power: Manifold Barrier (Level 1/97)】

 “The fusion was successful!”

Ji Xinghuo thought, and a layer of transparent energy armor appeared outside his body. The thickness was only about one millimeter. It was easy to miss without looking carefully.

This layer of protection fits your body perfectly, like a layer of flowing water wrapped around it, and will not affect any movements at all.

 He lightly scratched his palm with Lei Chi.

The manifold barrier was activated automatically, and the blade passed through without causing any damage.

 At the same time, a few points of star power were consumed.

Ji Xinghuo felt it carefully and found that the manifold barrier did not directly consume star power, but the star power must first be converted into spiritual energy and then activate the energy armor.

 "No wonder..." He suddenly understood.

 The manifold barrier must rely on spiritual energy, so aliens without spiritual energy cannot use it at all.

He did another test and found that the defensive power of the first-level manifold barrier can probably withstand a laser from a laser gun or a bullet from an electromagnetic rifle. It has both physical defense and energy resistance. Such a protective effect is already very impressive. And it's automatically activated, so you're not afraid of sneak attacks.

 “Then upgrade!”

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the interface.

The spiritual source can accumulate more than 80,000 points. It was originally kept backup. Now take part of it to upgrade the streaming barrier.
