Rise of the White Dragon

"Now what do I do? I just carry the body back and trade it for credits?" Ingrid looked at Luan and asked.

"Touch this bull." Luan didn't explain.

"Well..." Ingrid placed her hand on the bull.

[Turn [Bull] into 23 credits?]

"A robotic voice says I can turn it into credits, and it's only 33 credits? Is this First Order?"

"Yes, First Order averages 10 to 30 some credits. Second Order 40 to 60 credits. Third Order 100 to 200 credits. Fourth Order 500 to 10000 credits or even 20000 if using Qi and Body. Well, that's more complicated," Luan explained.

"Fourth order has a very large disparity," Ingrid said.

"It's because the Fourth Order can use force of up to 10 dragons, if not 20 if using the body and Qi," Luan said.

"So, did I get enough points from two monsters with the strength of 10 dragons?" Ingrid was surprised.

"You might think so since you got 25,000 credits," Luan chuckled.

"By the way, I got 50,000 credits," Luan said.

"My God, that's 5 monsters with the strength of 10 dragons!" Ingrid gasped loudly. She knew Luan's reward was incredible, but she didn't expect it to be double hers. Well, it was well deserved. She knew how difficult it was to climb those damn stairs.

"That's why I got stamina potions. If we get tired, we can keep killing. The more we kill, the more credits we'll get," Luan said.

"It makes sense. Even if it's only 33 credits, it was easy to kill. Wouldn't it be weird if I killed 100 of them without getting tired, which would be 3300 Credits?" Ingrid said.

"Of course, it's not that simple. Monsters aren't always easily found, but don't worry, I can feel the presence of all living beings from miles away." Luan smiled.

"By the way, does this armor have the defense of at least 10 dragons?" For the price, she deduced that.

"Yes, that's why I said it was worth buying. The weapon also has at least the strength of 5 dragons," Luan said.

"Holy crap! We're practically walking around with expensive treasures! Won't that make other people want to steal them?" Ingrid was scared.

"And will they be strong enough to do it?" Luan smiled grimly. This was true, they would have to find someone with an attack higher than 10 dragons to be able to go against them...

As expected, with Luan, she always felt safe, even in this unknown place. He'd already prepared everything so he wouldn't risk dying randomly.

"You are awesome." Ingrid smiled at him.

"What is this all of a sudden?" Luan looked at her strangely.

"Nothing, I just felt like saying that to you~" Ingrid smiled beautifully.

"By the way, how much does the Cobra Queen Body technique cost if you buy it?" Ingrid asked out of curiosity.

"1 million credits," Luan replied.

"..."

"And yours?" Ingrid sucked in a breath of cold air as she asked this question.

"Mm, I think it must be 10 million credits," Luan said, remembering.

"Can I still train your technique?" Ingrid asked.

"Yes, but first you need to complete yours. When you complete the technique, it will be part of your body, that is, you can train another technique," Luan explained, and added, "But until you complete it, you can buy a technique that is more compatible with you. This one from Queen Cobra's Body is more compatible with you. That's why I gave it to you. If not, I'd let you train the same as me, but you wouldn't be at the same level in cultivating with your body now."

"Makes sense. I was quick, wasn't I? You planned everything. As expected, you always thought of the best for me, thank you," She smiled.

"If you want to thank me, give me a kiss," Luan said. Of course, Ingrid wouldn't deny such a request. She lifted her veil and kissed Luan's lips.

"That's better. When you want to thank me, just kiss me. I prefer that kind of thanks, hehe~" Luan said jokingly, but a little seriously.

They continued walking with Luan in the lead, as he could sense the presence of a Monster in the Second Order. As they walked, Luan said, "By the way, when you get to the Fifth Order with the body, that's basically when you'll complete the technique. After that, you can train another."

"Is yours the same?" Ingrid asked.

"Mm, almost. This technique of mine almost makes me reach the Sixth Order with the Body. With luck, I'll arrive there. Well, due to several factors, I could arrive or not arrive, not just because of the technique that increases the strength of the body. You should already know that, yes?" Luan said.

"Yes, I think I understand. You mean something like a miracle drink that increases body strength by 2 times, for example?" Ingrid guessed.

"Basically that," Luan said, "It's usually achieved by rare pills and potions. I can even make them, but I need the right herbs and plants, and they're very rare and expensive in the store, even with my current credits. I can buy them to make just a few pills, however, I have other priorities. It's not worth spending on that right now. But if we're lucky and find them, that's another story," Luan smiled.

"Lucky... I hope we're lucky then." Ingrid stared at the ground for some rare-looking plant and flower. Luan laughed but didn't stop her. It was cute to see her act like that.

What is the next stage or Qi Realm?" Ingrid asked suddenly.

"Nine Treasures Realm," Luan explained. "It has nine stages. Each stage creates a treasure around the body that connects to the Dantian."

"This is a lot like connecting the meridian veins…." Ingrid muttered.

"Yes," Luan nodded in agreement.

"Another question: What is the next Body Realm?" Ingrid asked.

"Twelve Golden Bones Realm," Luan said, "This does not mean the bone will turn to gold, but rather, it will become so hard that it will be able to withstand powerful blows. This one is also harder to complete than Qi and also has more stages."

"Well, I already knew the body would be more difficult. After all, it was from the beginning," Ingrid said, and smiled, not caring too much, as she swore to make an effort.

"Any more questions?" Luan looked at her.

"I don't think so, hmm ...No, nothing comes to mind right now," Ingrid thought and said.

They continued walking until Luan stopped. "There's a tiger not far away. It's from the Second Order," Luan warned.

The Elite Troop, which reached the Second Order, decided to enter the tower. Luan warned that if they wanted to, they could, and they knew it would take decades if they didn't risk the tower. Before entering, Maira let them read a notebook. In this notebook were handwritten notes by Luan. He had already prepared everything.

In the notes, it had all the necessary explanations and the risks and benefits they might encounter. It also explained how each floor basically worked.

They were thrilled. With this, their path would be even easier. And knowing that there were ways to earn credits and exchange them for miracle pills and powerful weapons motivated them a lot.

Elias didn't go with them, nor Catharina, Cristina, Maira, Amanda, Sebastian, Elise, or Monica. Oh yes, Arlinda and her daughter went together. They also had somehow managed to reach the Second Order.

In the notes, Luan said he advised them to go to floor 25. Floor 30 was very dangerous, but if they were willing to take the risk, it was no longer their problem.
