Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 34: Market Evolution (Second Update)


Relying on the abundant resources produced by the Secret Realm, various Spirit Medicine and Spirit Material, and Demon Beast corpses flow through the frontier of the Secret Realm, then spread to all corners of the world.

With a large number of transactions taking place, a new type of market, evolved from a small town, began to rise.

Disciples and masters of Sects, descendants of prominent families, wanderers of the Martial World, people from all walks of life gathered in the market, bringing massive crowds to the area.

At the same time, as the teachings of Li Hu at Jade Capital Mountain spread, some talented individuals who grasped a little essence of Alchemy and Artifact Refining, claimed themselves as Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, set up shops in the market, handling resources brought from the Secret Realm by various wanderers of the Martial World.

They refined Spirit Medicine into Elixirs that could enhance Cultivation, and crafted Spirit Material and minerals into Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact that greatly boosted individual power.

The market became an important transfer station.

Elixirs and Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact are ultimately closely related to Cultivation and power.

Therefore, with the Secret Realm's abundant output, Alchemists and Artifact Refiners also started to gain attention and develop.

If not for the talent required in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, along with the need for substantial resources for practice, the conditions to become a true Alchemist or Artifact Refiner would not be so harsh, and Alchemy and Artifact Refining would likely have already become basic skills learned by Martial Artists.

With the advent of Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, the once invaluable Divine Elixirs and Divine Weapon began to appear extensively on the market.

Many years ago, a Great Rejuvenation Pill from Shaolin Temple that increased twenty years of Power was still an unattainable legend in the Martial World.

Sword Casting Manor had to spend the energy of three generations of Master Swordsmiths over a century to forge a single Divine Weapon.

But now, with the rise of new Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, those previously unattainable precious treasures began to appear in large quantities.

As long as you can bring enough Spirit Medicine from the Secret Realm or precious Spirit Minerals and Materials, and prepare sufficient compensation, any Alchemist or Artifact Refiner could provide you with a Spirit Pill comparable to the efficacy of Shaolin Temple's Great Rejuvenation Pill, or a Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact comparable to Sword Casting Manor's peerless Divine Sword.

This is the progress of the era, also the result of Li Hu's teachings.

Aside from Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, various side arts like Array Masters, Talisman Masters, Mechanicians, Puppet Masters in the market are also gradually rising.

In previous Martial World duels, the outcome was typically determined by one's Power and Martial Techniques.

But in today's new era of great struggle, perhaps when you exhaust your opponent, they might suddenly swallow an Elixir to restore Primordial Qi, or suddenly unleash a powerful Talisman for a reversal kill.

In this grand epoch, in battles among Cultivators, Martial Arts is no longer the sole determining factor of victory.

Elixirs, Divine Weapons, Talismans, even Arrays and Puppets, all constitute part of the combat power.

The emergence of various new items has brought significant impact to the ancient combat methods of the Martial World.

This impact is gradually spreading from the market to the whole world.

Because relying on the Secret Realm, and its numerous output resources, Alchemists and Artifact Refiners can produce more Elixirs and Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact, spreading across the world through traveling merchants.

Under the collision of this grand era, ancient techniques will inevitably be phased out due to falling behind.

In various regions within the Secret Realm, various dangerous Demon Beasts and lurking peers are the most perilous enemies for Martial Artists exploring the Secret Realm.

In the Secret Realm's brutal and bloody battlefields, only greater combat power forms the foundation and assurance for Martial Artists to stand firm.

For Martial Artists exploring the Secret Realm, they are more inclined to accept various Elixirs, Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact, Mechanical Puppets, Arrays, and other items that could greatly enhance their combat power.

Over time, while ancient traditions of the Martial World still exist in farther places, the Secret Realm and market have already become the forefront of melee with Elixirs, Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact, Talismans, etc.

This is the progress of the new era, which no one can resist.

Of course, while Elixirs and Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact can improve Martial Artists' strength to some extent.

These are only supplementary means.

The truly important thing is one's own Cultivation.

If the gap between Cultivation Levels becomes too large, the effectiveness of these external items becomes very limited.

Aside from the rise of Elixirs, Divine Weapon and Magical Artifact, Talismans, Arrays, Mechanical Puppets, and other new things.

With the opening of the Secret Realm, changes in Martial Arts Techniques have also appeared.

In battles with the Secret Realm's Demon Beasts and various dangers,

Martial Artists exploring the Secret Realm began to discover the traditional Martial Arts were not very effective against enemies.

Therefore, these fighters at the forefront started trying to improve and enhance their Martial Arts according to Li Hu's teachings, progressing significantly toward fantasy and the Immortal side.

Li Hu has made clear two paths at the Jade Capital Mountain lectures.

Martial Artists only need to follow the foundational systems provided by Li Hu, making appropriate improvements to convert their martial techniques into fantasy or cultivation techniques, greatly enhancing their power.

During the gradual transformation process, each Martial Arts technique improved had different effects.

For a time, in the frontier market established relying on the Secret Realm, a situation of a hundred flowers blooming appeared.

As this serves as the forefront of the world-changing battle front.

The existence of the market has become one of the places Martial Artists from all over the world must visit to broaden their knowledge.

Even if Martial Artists do not enter the Secret Realm to explore, while traveling the world, they inevitably come to this market to see and broaden their horizons.

During this period, numerous stories naturally unfold.

Certain disciples from small remote Sects and families, upon entering the market, are like country bumpkins entering the city, dazzled by all the new items.

When the Martial World they remembered was still in the era of blades and swords clashing, Martial Art competitions, and passionate Martial World,

Suddenly, seeing various powerful Spirit Pills, Magical Artifacts with incredible powers, various mysterious Talismans, Arrays, Mechanical Puppets, and seeing people fly with swords outside the market, their True Essence forming wings to soar the skies, what an experience it was.

The worldview built from childhood was challenged to an unimaginable extent under such circumstances!

The feeling was like walking out of the poorest primitive tribe in Africa, into the center of a modern city with towering skyscrapers.

It was like ancient people from a previous era seeing cars and planes for the first time, being completely astounded.

Not long ago, a hidden family's genius, carrying the mission to shock the world and uphold the family name, descended from the mountain, intending to become famous worldwide.

After hearing about the Secret Realm and the market in the Martial World, they eagerly ventured to the market.

Their experiences almost shattered their Dao Heart.

After half a life of practicing Martial Arts and honing Inner Power, mastering the Seventy-Two Weapon Techniques, practicing diligently daily, they emerged to uphold their name, only to find this world was a fantasy Immortal world capable of anything.

What a frustrating realization.

As the era proceeds, the market established relying on the Secret Realm continues to push forward amidst this clash of new and old perspectives, constantly growing.

With the continuous evolution of the cultivation system, the influence of the market is also gradually increasing.

On the frontier of this Secret Realm, initially, it started as a small town, solving the accommodation and food needs of Martial Artists exploring the Secret Realm.

But soon, with the large output of heavenly treasures from the Secret Realm and the transactions taking place, it gradually formed into a market.

Ultimately, the market continuously developed, rapidly forming into a giant city.

Countless eyes from around the world focus here, becoming the newest forefront of the world's great transformation.
