Haku coiled comfortably around Hinata's wrist, looking like an exquisite, milky-white jade ornament.
Hinata immersed her consciousness into the System interface.
She had quite a lot of points now.
[System (rubbing its hands like a fly): Dear VIP customer, your loyal System is at your service 24 hours a day! Do you see this heart-pounding string of numbers? Do you feel the urge to spend rising? Come on! Don't suppress your nature! Whip me hard with those massive points!]
Hinata focused her thoughts on the [Artifact Refining] and [Alchemy] categories.
She had already reached the Golden Core stage, yet she hadn't even practiced Alchemy; was this reasonable?
Furthermore, she possessed a Fire Spiritual Root; this was simply a terrible waste.
However, come to think of it, did using the heaven and earth primordial qi pot to cook food count as a disguised form of Alchemy?
Hinata cast aside distracting thoughts and browsed the System interface, where several phantoms of Pill Furnaces with ancient designs and distinct auras appeared.
[Three Yang Tripod]: Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, built-in with three Yang Fire runes, stable temperature control, suitable for refining common Medicinal Pill. Price: 18000 points.
[Earth Lung Purple Copper Furnace]: Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, can draw a trace of earth fire energy, improves the heat and Fusion degree of the Medicinal Pill, has a bonus for Earth and Fire attribute Materials. Price: 35000 points.
[Bagua Spirit Gathering Pill Furnace]: High Grade Spiritual Artifact, comes with Spirit Gathering and Bagua attribute harmonization effects, can greatly increase the success rate and quality of the Medicinal Pill, especially suitable for refining complex Medicinal Pill or trying new Pill Formula. Price: 68000 points.
[Alchemy Manual]: A Secret Manual explaining how to perform Alchemy, incorporating notes from many Great Masters of the Dao of refining. Price: 60000 points!
"Fellow Daoist, are you still worried about not knowing how to perform Alchemy? Are you still troubled by the need to purchase expensive Medicinal Pill due to insufficient combat endurance? Now you don't have to worry anymore! As long as you possess this Alchemy Manual, everything can be solved. Action is better than temptation, act quickly!"
"Damn profiteer! Why is this thing so expensive!?"
Hinata protested.
[Eh, host, that is incorrect. Buying this is definitely not a loss; it is a lifelong benefit. Besides, the host is not Xiao Huohuo; there is no grandfather in a ring here to teach you Alchemy~]
Hinata was speechless and could only temporarily add this item to her list, then immediately turned her gaze to the Artifact Refining area.
The Dao of Artifact Refining was no easier than Alchemy, involving many aspects such as Materials, runes, and energy.
She didn't intend to become a Great Master of Artifact Refining immediately, but she at least needed to lay a foundation and prepare some core Materials for emergencies, such as refining more suitable auxiliary Magical Artifact for herself, or preparing some self-defense items for Hanabi or even others in the future.
She first chose a set of basic Jade Slip for the Legacy of Artifact Refining.
["Complete Collection of Artifact Refining": Covers identification of common Artifact Refining Materials, basic knowledge, forging of simple Magical Artifact embryos, and introduction to rune engraving. Price: 12000 points.]
Hinata could now confirm that the damn profiteer had definitely overcharged. It was the same basic content, just with a different suffix, yet it was four times more expensive.
Hinata curled her lips, exchanged for these two items, and prepared to practice them first. Anyway, she had the space with ten times the time; she would be able to master them quickly.
[Exchange successful, remaining points: 56050]
Looking at the points that had been slashed in half, Hinata felt a little heartache. She had saved these points for a long time, but spending them didn't take any effort at all.
Fortunately, the System mall did not have numerical inflation; otherwise, if things cost hundreds of thousands or millions, she wouldn't be able to afford them.
