Chapter 240: S-Class Mental Weapon!
Chapter 240: S-Class Mental Weapon!
Opening the cover, Jiang Cheng counted the items up for auction for Psychic Masters. There were fewer than thirty in total, not even a third of the Primordial Energy Warrior auction items.
There were potions, weapons, visualization techniques, secret martial arts, and secret potions, but not much else.
However, a moment’s thought revealed the reason.
The black market undoubtedly wanted Psychic Masters to attend the subsequent auction to drive up prices.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the potions.
This category had the most items.
The Tranquilizing Pills he had obtained from Nightingale were among them, as were the Advanced Spirit Nourishing Pills he hadn't seen at the previous auction.
Given the choice, Jiang Cheng naturally preferred the higher-grade potions.
After all, constantly swallowing potions was a tedious task.
He looked at the prices.
The starting bid for Basic Tranquilizing Pills was still much cheaper than those from the Dawn Society, at only seven thousand yuan per pill, with each bid incrementing by five hundred yuan.
The prices for Intermediate and Advanced Tranquilizing Pills were two to three times higher than the Basic ones.
Surprisingly, there were no third-grade Spirit Recovery Potions.
"Maybe the materials are too scarce? Or the refining difficulty is too high?"
Jiang Cheng speculated to himself.
However, for his current needs, the Basic Tranquilizing Pills were quite effective, with one pill equivalent to ten Basic Spirit Nourishing Pills.
If he had Advanced Tranquilizing Pills, they would be comparable to thirty Basic Spirit Nourishing Pills, sufficient for his immediate use.
He could worry about this problem later when he became a mid- to high-level Psychic Master.
Flipping through the pages, he quickly found the weapons.
Like the weapons used by Primordial Energy Warriors, Psychic Masters' weapons were also categorized into A, B, C, and D grades.
The difference was that these weapons were all very small, including flying swords, flying shuttles, and steel needles, some of which were tiny.
However, according to the descriptions, these weapons were highly sharp and durable, capable of piercing bricks or even reinforced concrete without deforming or breaking.
Their small size made them hard to detect, catching opponents off guard.
The prices were roughly similar to those of alloy weapons.
For three hundred thousand yuan, one could purchase a C-Class Mental Weapon.
Considering that he wasn't even a First Rank Psychic Master yet, Jiang Cheng decided against this idea.
Apart from the A-Class and below, there was also an S-Class Mental Weapon called the Firecloud Sword.
The blade was red, with what seemed like flames flowing within it, resembling the weapons used by sword cultivators in fantasy novels, though it couldn't be infused with Primordial Force.
It relied entirely on the Psychic Master's Psychic Energy to operate.
According to the description, the Firecloud Sword was sharp enough to cut through a Master's skin and, under the control of a Psychic Master, could easily slay a Master in a single strike.
The starting bid was five million yuan, with each increment being five hundred thousand yuan.
"Psychic Masters sure do have money."
Jiang Cheng muttered.
To be honest, he would love to have one, but he lacked both the funds and the strength.
"Let's check out the visualization techniques."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the next section.
There weren't many visualization techniques, only three in total.
What surprised him was that the Lotus Meditation Technique was among them.
Jiang Cheng examined it closely.
The stages from Novice to Proficient were as expected.
Reaching Mastery would make one a First Rank Psychic Master.
Reaching Great Success would make one a Second Rank Psychic Master.
Reaching Perfection would make one a Third Rank Psychic Master.
It was about what he had expected.
Looking at the price, the starting bid was eight hundred thousand yuan, with each increment being one hundred thousand yuan.
"This price is about the same as a Heaven Martial Technique."
Jiang Cheng mumbled to himself.
A complete Visualization Technique also includes a Visualization Chart.
Jiang Cheng guessed that the Visualization Technique would be the main part, and the Visualization Chart would be much cheaper. Unfortunately, they couldn't be purchased separately; one had to buy the entire set.
Jiang Cheng felt rather disheartened.
After all, he had already sensed the psychic energy, and as long as he obtained the Visualization Chart, he could rely on the Visualization Technique to gradually complete it.
Among the remaining two Visualization Techniques, one was called the Flying Flower Visualization Technique, and the other was a special one named the Golden Bell Visualization Technique.
The Flying Flower Visualization Technique, as its name suggested, involved visualizing a scene of flowers flying in the mind. Compared to the Lotus Meditation Technique, it had more visualizations and also required maintaining a dynamic state, making its difficulty far beyond a single level.
This Visualization Technique had a very high upper limit, and for cultivators, there was a requirement to be at least a Third Rank Mentalist to cultivate it.
The highest level achievable was Eighth Level.
As for the remaining Golden Bell Visualization Technique, it was even more impressive.
Not only could it reach up to Tenth Level Mental Grand Master, but it could also manifest the Golden Bell, enveloping the entire body, blocking attacks from Mentalists or Force Warriors of the same level. As long as the psychic energy didn't deplete, one could continuously defend, earning its reputation as a Mystic Iron Shield in the mind.
Naturally, the price was steep, starting at 5 million with increments of 500,000 each time.
This price was definitely aiming for 10 million.
Jiang Cheng was envious.
He could visualize the Golden Bell.
It would definitely take a long time.
If only he could obtain the corresponding Visualization Chart.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Jiang Cheng immediately perked up, his heart filled with anticipation.
After all, since the Mentalist had left, it had been some time, and logically, if someone wanted to exchange Secret Martial Arts with him, they should have arrived by now.
The footsteps grew closer, eventually reaching the door, followed by a knock.
"Hello, is anyone inside? I'm here to exchange Secret Martial Arts," a woman's voice called out from outside.
"Yes, come in."
Jiang Cheng quickly rose from the sofa, walked to the door, and opened it.
Standing at the door was a woman about 1.6 meters tall, with loose, curly hair, wearing a blacklight, and revealing a pair of large eyes.
Seeing Jiang Cheng appear, she hesitated a little and asked, "Are you number 72?"
"Yes, please come in."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback for a moment but quickly nodded.
"Okay."
The woman took the lead and walked in. With the Mental Grandmaster present, she wasn't worried about encountering any danger inside the Black Market.
Jiang Cheng closed the door and, with the woman sitting nearby, asked, "You should know about the Secret Martial Arts I have. Which one do you want to exchange?"
"I'd like to exchange the Taiyi Fist for the Beginner Chapter of your Shadowless Blade Technique," the woman said, a bit shyly.
Jiang Cheng's pupils dilated slightly.
He had previously inquired about Human Martial Arts from the Ox Head Mask Brother and learned that, aside from the four techniques he already had, there were five or six more that hadn't been collected.
The Taiyi Fist was one of them, and like the Seven Star Palm, it could open up 7 chakras, with an upper limit of Fifth Level Force Warrior.
One of his primary goals for this trip was to collect a new Human Martial Art, and he hadn't expected to find one so soon.
"That's possible."
Jiang Cheng readily agreed.
