Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

I never expected the Celestial Master Sequence could also create weapons that ordinary people could use, and these weapons actually had some restraining effect on Anomalies.

But in Chen Ye's view, the effectiveness of these weapons was quite limited.

They were about on par with the effect of black dog blood.

Even if some were a bit stronger, they probably weren't much stronger.

The greatest use for ordinary people getting these weapons was to delay their own death.

Against slightly stronger Anomalies, these weapons wouldn't even serve to delay death;they'd just be a waste of food in exchange.

In contrast, those Thunder Summoning Talismans and Five Thunder Talismans were actually more useful.

However, none of them had much interest in these Thunder Summoning Talismans or Five Thunder Talismans.

After all, they were all Superhumans, each with some trump cards up their sleeves, which probably weren't much worse than these Thunder Summoning or Five Thunder Talismans.

Alright...

After saying all that, the main point was that they were all too poor.

One Thunder Summoning Talisman, this lousy Taoist wanted twenty catties of rice or flour.

One Five Thunder Talisman cost fifty catties.

This price was simply outrageous.

Compared to the Cleaning Talismans, it was practically a sky-high price.

The price of a Cleaning Talisman was just one pack of expired instant noodles.

You could even treat it as an investment;selling it to Superhumans from other convoys later wouldn't be a loss either.

Chen Ye turned and walked over to the monk's stall.

There were very few items at the monk's stall.

There were only a few Buddhist scriptures and some daily items.

For example, a few dazzling golden Rolexes, and some diamonds and pearls shimmering with brilliant colors.

In the middle, several golden, gleaming Buddha statues were also placed.

There were even a few Buddhist scriptures.

Iron Lion was also squatting in front of the stall, holding something like a picture book, reading with great interest.

"Big Fool, what are you looking at?"

Iron Lion grinned foolishly and showed the book title to Chen Ye.

"《Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist》?"

"A fist technique? Wow, really?"

Even though Chen Ye didn't know much about Buddhism, he could tell at a glance that this was a martial arts manual.

Just like the martial arts manuals in wuxia novels.

"It is a fist technique! If the benefactor doesn't believe me, I can demonstrate it for the benefactor!"

After saying that, Chen Ye lost sight of the monk before his eyes.

Turning his head, he saw the monk standing in the middle of the open area, a fierce-looking Vajra Dharma appearance suddenly manifesting behind him.

What he saw next gave Chen Ye a feeling of returning to the world of wuxia.

Every punch the monk threw could shake the air, as if pulling on some mysterious power.

Chen Ye calculated silently in his heart;if he were to face this monk, it would be best to envelop him in smoke and mist immediately.

Otherwise, this kind of fist power was simply not something he could withstand.

After the monk finished demonstrating the entire fist technique set, he neither split bricks nor performed any fire-walking or blade-mountain climbing.

But the few onlookers around all watched with hearts pounding.

They were all Superhumans and could sense how much Supernatural Power was vibrating within the monk's body just now.

Ding Dong calculated silently in her mind;if she were to face this monk, she probably wouldn't have much chance of winning either.

What a formidable monk.

"Monk, is this... internal energy or external energy?"

The Pink-haired Girl clearly didn't understand wuxia culture well, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked a layman's question.

The monk's face wasn't red, his breathing wasn't labored;he calmly nodded slightly at them before saying, "Whether it's internal energy, external energy, or Supernatural Power, they are all forms of energy."

"You are all Superhumans, so naturally you also have the special abilities of your sequences. But in this humble monk's view, all abilities are applications of Supernatural Power."

"For example, the 《Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist》 I just demonstrated."

"It was originally one of the Demon-Subduing Divine Abilities among my Buddha Sequence 1 abilities. I wrote it down from memory. As long as one practices according to what I wrote, they can also achieve the Demon-Subduing Divine Ability."

Hearing the monk say this, Chen Ye was momentarily at a loss for words.

This monk was really generous, actually writing down his own Demon-Subduing Divine Ability from memory.

You know, everyone usually keeps what abilities their sequence has tightly under wraps, wishing to hide and conceal them.

Even among teammates, it's impossible to reveal everything.

For example, Squad Leader Chu Che, that guy is most skilled at saying half and hiding half.

But this monk intended to take it out for trade.

"Monk, according to what you're saying, doesn't that mean anyone can learn the abilities of other sequences?"

The Pink-haired Girl asked.

The monk raised a single palm slightly and nodded, "Theoretically, it's possible, but achieving it is somewhat difficult. Similar sequences might be much simpler."

"For example, this Mr. Wu here, he is of the Titan Sequence, cultivating physical strength to the extreme, which has some similarities to my Buddha Sequence. Therefore, practicing the 《Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist》, adapted from the Demon-Subduing Divine Ability, is also possible."

Chen Ye fell into deep thought.

Everyone's sequence is different, and even within the same sequence, abilities are not the same.

For example, the Spirit Infusion ability he just comprehended.

Even if another Mist Barrier Master stood before him, that person probably wouldn't have this Spirit Infusion ability.

"Hehe... Monk, I don't understand what you're saying, but I like this 《Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist》 of yours. Tell me, how do we trade for it?"

"One hundred catties of rice! Some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, at least ten sets of winter clothing, ten sets of autumn clothing..."

The monk's opening statement made their expressions change.

The Pink-haired Girl pulled Ding Dong along to take turns bargaining.

Finally, they bargained it down to fifty catties of rice, three sets of winter clothing, three sets of autumn clothing, and some other items.

Seeing this outcome, Chen Ye also felt a sense of admiration arise in his heart.

To get more supplies for his village, this monk was even willing to trade his own sequence ability.

It must be said, this monk truly was.

Truly was...

"Monk, this is..."

Because of the matter with Iron Lion's 《Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist》, Chen Ye developed some interest in the monk's stall.

Even if Iron Lion couldn't master it, this thing still evolved from the Buddha Sequence's Demon-Subduing Divine Ability, so it couldn't be considered completely worthless.

What Chen Ye was holding in his hand now was something titled 《Qi Devouring Technique》.

Seeing this name, Chen Ye thought of the 《Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique》.

The principle of cultivating the Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique was to adjust one's own frequency through breathing to achieve the effect of absorbing blood moon energy.

So, did this 《Qi Devouring Technique》 refer to cultivation through devouring?

"Mr. Chen has a good eye. This is the cultivation method I practice, cultivating by devouring the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!"

"I believe everyone has also noticed that after the apocalypse, many changes have occurred between heaven and earth. The source of these changes comes from a mysterious energy. Some call it spiritual energy, others call it primordial qi."

"Whatever it is, it is ultimately a form of energy. I use the 《Qi Devouring Technique》 to cultivate!"

Chen Ye listened and drew in a sharp breath.

Good heavens!

This guy was even selling his own cultivation method.

This monk...

If there was a more selfish Buddha Sequence user present, they'd probably be rushing up to fight the monk to the death right now. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Pink-haired Girl and Ding Dong were already looking at this big monk with somewhat admiring eyes.

If they had to trade their own secrets for supplies, perhaps when they reached a state of Complete Desperation, they might do it too.

But they definitely wouldn't be as composed as the monk before them.

It felt like this monk, to get some food for his village, had already sold himself out completely.

This monk had great compassion in his heart!

Chen Ye steadied his mind and looked at the 《Qi Devouring Technique》 before him.

He had already begun inquiring with the System in his heart.

"System, can I cultivate this Qi Devouring Technique?"

[No! The Qi Devouring Technique is a unique cultivation method of the Buddha Sequence. It is not a similar sequence to the host's Smoke Apostle Sequence. The sequence barrier cannot be broken.]

Chen Ye's heart stirred slightly, and he continued asking, "Can the 《Qi Devouring Technique》 be adapted and adjusted to align with the cultivation of the Smoke Apostle Sequence? If feasible, how many Slaughter Points are required?"

That familiar small circle from the System appeared again.

It took only five seconds to give a reply.

[Adapting and adjusting the 《Qi Devouring Technique》 is feasible. It requires twenty thousand Slaughter Points!]

Twenty thousand!

Sure enough, having the System handle everything, deducing a cultivation method suitable for Sequence 2 from scratch required one hundred thousand.

But now, adapting the existing 《Qi Devouring Technique》 only required twenty thousand.

This thing, I want it.

As long as I have a cultivation method, the Sequence 3 branch, Mist Lord, isn't far away either.
