"Three hundred reputation points?" Shen Qiang was somewhat astonished. In fact, the last time Shen Qiang had put the Gathering Qi Powder up for sale in large quantities to the Dragon Group Mall, in order to possess the invisibility ability granted by the Star Moon Protection, not only did the mall award Shen Qiang with one hundred thousand points, but it also provided him with one hundred reputation points.

At that time, the points were used up since the Star Moon Protection didn't require reputation points, so those one hundred reputation points are still quietly lying in Shen Qiang's account.

"Do you understand what reputation points are?" Xiu Ju from the Dark Department asked with a raised eyebrow, "You can only earn them when you make a significant contribution to Huaxia or the Dragon Group, do you get it? Ordinary tasks simply do not grant any chance of earning reputation points."

Looking at Xiu Ju from the Dark Department, who spoke confidently, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "I admit, Immortal Artifacts are certainly excellent, but even if the weight of this one is enormous, it is after all just an auxiliary cultivation tool. To spend so many points just for Body Refinement seems not worth it, right? I remember that armor which allows you to become invisible under moonlight costs only one hundred thousand points."

At the mention of this, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department laughed, "Do you know the terrifying nature of absolute power?"

Shen Qiang asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiu Ju from the Dark Department said with a smile, "As far as I know, at least three generals in Huaxia have already made public statements expressing their desire for the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock and are diligently accumulating reputation points for it. The true reason they salivate over this Jade Lock is that weighted Magical Treasures are a very special category."

"It's not only an aid to Body Refinement, but more importantly, while assisting with cultivation, it also serves as a weapon."

"A weapon?" Shen Qiang furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Put simply, if I were to strike you with what seems to be an ordinary punch, you might suffer no harm at all. But what would happen if I had a five-ton iron block in my hand during that punch?"

Xiu Ju from the Dark Department answered her own rhetorical question with a laugh, "You would be dead, all bones broken and tendons snapped."

Shen Qiang was dumbfounded.

"Do you understand now?" Xiu Ju from the Dark Department looked at Shen Qiang and said, "The reason why so many generals want the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock isn't solely for its Body Refinement capabilities. Can you comprehend? In combat, when two competitors of similar strength face off, how terrifying would it be if one of them suddenly throws a punch with three hundred tons more force than their known capabilities?"

"Instant kill!"

"Absolute destructive power!"

Xiu Ju from the Dark Department, talking to herself again, said chillingly, "Now do you see why its exchange points are set so high? Even with just a five-ton increase in weight, as long as you can bear it and know how to use it, its effectiveness is absolutely no less than that of a Flying Sword."

"So, for someone focused on Body Cultivation, owning an ultra-strong weighted Magical Treasure is like a Sword Cultivator possessing a top-tier Flying Sword— it adds wings to a tiger."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang took a deep breath.

He couldn't help but yearn for it.

What was the concept of three hundred tons?

600,000 pounds!

It's more than three fully loaded heavy-duty trucks!

And that's an additional force on top of one's own cultivation.

If one could truly master and utilize it as Xiu Ju suggested,

and concentrate that terrifying power at one point,

combined with one's own cultivation, even a powerhouse at the Mixed Element Realm could likely be smashed to pieces with a single punch.

Moreover, even more terrifying is the effect of its weighted training.

If a cultivator could really manage to bear a weight of 300 tons, maintain regular activities, and show no signs of strain, then imagine how strong and terrifying they would be once they shed that weight and went into battle!

It was while Shen Qiang was longing for such strength.

Xiu Ju from the Dark Department smiled gently and then said softly, "Shen Qiang, you have decent talent, and your progress in cultivation has been astonishingly fast, so it's very likely that you could enter the Yang God Realm within five years. A regular weight-bearing magical treasure, one with a 5-ton capacity, should suffice for you until the Yang God Realm."

"So you'd better not set your sights too high and vainly covet the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock. Reputation points are hard to come by, even for someone like me who, over the years, has only accumulated 14 reputation points to date. Moreover, to exchange for a Heavenly Palace Jade Lock, aside from 300 reputation points, you also need one hundred thousand exchange points."

"Even for the strong, this is something that might take several decades of military service, or even a lifetime, to hope for. Hence, you should just exchange for this primary level weight-bearing treasure that only requires five thousand points. You are under the Newcomer Protection Plan, which allows you to apply for a waiver for three thousand points for legitimate use."

"That means, right now, you only need two thousand points to exchange for that primary weight-bearing magical treasure. If you don't even have two thousand points, I can cover for you."

Xiu Ju from the Dark Department spoke earnestly and with heartfelt advice, causing Shen Qiang to feel somewhat amused.

Although Shen Qiang had to admit that Xiu Ju meant well and was very kind, she still vastly underestimated him, as she did not truly understand Shen Qiang.

When it came to points, it was true that Shen Qiang couldn't come up with two thousand points at the moment.

But in Shen Qiang's account, 100 reputation points just lay there, untouched. Xiu Ju, with such high cultivation, had accumulated only 14 reputation points after all this time. If Shen Qiang were to reveal his hundred points, it would probably shock Xiu Ju to the core.

But that was not all.

For ordinary members of the Dragon Clan, there were perhaps only two methods to earn mall points: 1 is to complete tasks for the Dragon Group and receive task rewards.

2 is to sell the magical treasures they obtain through tireless efforts, risking life and limb.

But for Shen Qiang.

To earn points and reputation from the Dragon Group, all he had to do was collect raw materials at the herbal market, refine them into Gathering Qi Powder, and then call the supply department of the Dragon Group mall to come and collect the items.

That was the entire process.

So the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock, Shen Qiang had set his sights on it!

Although he thought this way, Shen Qiang had no intention of revealing the truth to Xiu Ju from the Dark Department, so he replied with a slight smile, "That's a good suggestion, but points are hard to come by, let me think it over."

Hearing those words, a look of disappointment flashed in Xiu Ju's eyes, and then she spoke very seriously, "If you're short on points, I can front you two thousand. If you feel embarrassed about it, you can pay me back later."

Shen Qiang laughed and shook his head.

Just then, his phone rang.

Taking it out, he saw it was a very unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button.

Immediately, he heard the voice of Ji Liangchuan.

His tone was cold and arrogant.

"Shen Qiang, although I find your arrogance annoying, at least you're a guy with some principles. So I want to warn you, that third-year guy takes pleasure in beating others senseless, and he's a bottomless scoundrel. And your shabbily dressed friend named Geng Liang has issued him a challenge. Believe me, if you don't stop him now, once he steps into the ring, your friend will certainly be beaten to the point where he can't take care of himself."
