Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 547 - 318: Shop Shop Shop, Return to Xuan Star

In the Cang Mang Domain, Cultivators who reached Jiang Shu’s level of Realm long stopped consuming ordinary grain.

The essence rice at the Spirit Rank and Earth Rank is certainly decent, but even the annual harvest grown by the Sects is extremely limited, so it’s impossible to truly enjoy it to the fullest.

As for the meat of Demon Beasts, it’s feasible to rear and slaughter those in the Condensing Seed Realm, but Inner Core Realm Demon Beasts have all awakened their Spiritual Wisdom. Some can even trace their bloodline’s source and join the Demon Race directly.

How could they possibly be slaughtered in large numbers?

Therefore, even True Disciples and elders of a Sect in the Cang Mang Domain do not lack Crystal Stone Vein resources. However, they rarely come by or even see flesh of the same equivalent level and Realm for consumption.

This was nothing like in the Star Ruins Realm, where even the lowest-grade buffet in a building in Xingyu City had countless pieces of Eighth-Rank Star Beast Meat.

This is the difference in the way of Cultivation. The most mainstream Cultivation Methods in the universe are the Spirit Path and the Gene Path. It’s true that the core enhancement of Spirit Cultivation lies in the development of the brain domain and the qualitative change of spiritual power. The core of Gene Cultivation is to evolve one’s own bloodline and break through genetic locks one after another. But whether it’s one Cultivation Method or the other, neither can do without a large amount of meat. After all, both the Cultivation of the Spirit and of genes are manifested in the physical body. That’s why in the Star Ruins Realm, there are many powerful forces cultivating various flavors and breeds of Star Beasts on different planets.

Jiang Shu casually grabbed some Star Beast Meat with his chopsticks and tasted it.

When I first shuttled between the Two Realms, the Primordial Qi Recovery of Xuanxing was just beginning. Although the ranks of Mutant Beasts were not high, they were more than enough for me at the time. This allowed me to rise through the ranks rapidly in the Da Jing Dynasty. Shuttling between the Two Realms, I gained not only two different systems of Cultivation but, more importantly, complementary resources. It wasn’t until I joined the True Martial Sect that the resources of Xuanxing started to play an increasingly minor role for me. Now, having entered the Star Ruins Realm, I see a new opportunity for resource exchange. Although returning to the True Martial Sect this time and being promoted to the Nirvana Realm would at best make me a True Disciple, a True Disciple has the potential to become the Supreme Sect Leader! Once I become a candidate, or even if I’m directly appointed, I could bring back a large amount of Star Beast flesh and materials from the Star Ruins Realm. The meat could replace Elixirs. Materials could be used for Refining Puppets or Treasures. In the Cang Mang Domain, where resource utilization is pushed to the extreme, Star Beasts are treasures throughout, capable of directly enhancing the power of a Sect, and thereby unifying the entire Cang Mang Domain. But... there’s no rush. The Cang Mang Domain isn’t Xuanxing; I also have sufficient say. Currently, within it, I am still too weak.

Jiang Shu calmly ate different kinds of Star Beast Meat while pondering their effects on various Martial Artists and cultivators.

Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed.

The Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts also left the buffet with Jiang Shu after eating their fill.

They went to browse through various treasure hunt areas, while Jiang Shu went to the first floor and called out for Number Eighteen at a machine.

「The first floor.」

While Xingyu Building had many powerful individuals coming and going, many were regular customers who were very familiar with the place and didn’t need Maids to show them the way.

Therefore, in the absence of new customers or requests from regulars, the Maids had relatively leisure time, only needing to stand in certain places and provide some guidance.

Occasionally they could even chat.

"Judging by the time, the Cosmic Adventure Team from the city should be coming back soon. I wonder what kind of slaves they’ll bring this time. I’d say we’re pretty well off. At least we have our personal freedom. Even if our Realm is low and breakthroughs are extremely hard, it’s still better than being on those unprotected planets."

"Even those of the Eighth Rank are implanted with chips and enslaved. We still need to cultivate. If only we could reach the Ninth Rank! Then, even without joining an adventuring team, we could find a treasure land of our own and condense Cosmic Origin Crystals. After saving up for a long time, we could afford a place in Xingyu City."

"The Ninth Rank? I don’t even dare to think about that. Don’t be fooled by the fact that eight or nine out of every ten customers we serve are Ninth-Rank powerhouses. That’s because we are in Xingyu Building. In the vast universe, some Extraordinary Planets might not produce a Ninth-Rank cultivator for a thousand years."

"Only at the Ninth Rank can you truly have freedom. If we were at the Ninth Rank, why would we be serving as Maids?"

"By the way, Lin, did the customer you served earlier buy anything?"

As the Maids chatted, their gazes turned towards the Number Eighteen Maid with blue hair who had served Jiang Shu.

As Maids of Xingyu City, aside from their fixed salary and regular rewards, their most important income actually came from a one-thousandth commission on customer spending.

As long as a Ninth-Rank powerhouse spends a thousand Cosmic Origin Crystals, they could earn one Cosmic Origin Crystal.

For them at the Seventh Rank, the resources one Cosmic Origin Crystal could exchange for could allow them to cultivate for nearly a hundred years.

"No, not yet. He must have just come from an Extraordinary Planet to the Star Ruins Realm and probably hasn’t condensed any Cosmic Origin Crystals. But I believe with that gentleman’s strength and Realm, it won’t be long before he comes here to spend again."
