Chapter 77: Buying A Bunch Of Trinkets
-----
After finally ranking up, I had enough umted experience for over two hundred more levels, ramping up all my stats and drastically strengthening my entire body.
I remember that before, the change was barely noticeable, almost like something that didn’t matter to me—a little toy of sorts.
But right now? It felt much more substantial, like I could clearly sense and feel the changes and growth I was experiencing.
Even the [Light] Stat ended up being surprisingly amazing in what it could do, enhancing the internal structure of my body, which isposed of pure light.
I slowly walked out of bed. I left Merkite sleeping on her own to better analyze the growth of my body.
“Hmm, not bad.”
It had indeed be much more noticeable.
At least, I had grown considerably.
All these levels enhanced my total physical strength and energy by at least ten percent.
That is simply ridiculous when considering how far I have cultivated.
If Ibine my cultivation byprehending the Dao with my leveling, I could actually and realistically get to the Immemorial Void Realm.
But that’s still too far. I need to continue growing; I simply can’t ck off yet.
I looked at my stats again, and the growth was considerable.

“So many numbers—oh, the [Light] Stat was already quite high from the get-go, huh? And it increased even more as I Leveled Up,” I noted. “But wait…
It seems that Stats that are supposed to only increase through other methods, such as Martial Power and Charm, still increase through leveling. This means that my ss allowed me to increase such stats.
“Martial Power enhances Martial Arts, and anything rted to Physical Strength…” I nodded. “Charm is… Well, it makes me more attractive?”
I think Charm had more effects than that, such as being able to convince others more easily, amongst many other things.
But for now, these Stats are fairly decent;paring them to anybody in my house would be a bit unfair, though. I don’t think anybody has stats higher than 200.000 at the moment.
Although that’s still pretty considerable, they might be able to catch up to my status someday, perhaps rather soon.
Well, only my status; that’s it. It is an additive power, as it doesn’t include all the inner power I’ve cultivated before obtaining it.
Nheless, this is good enough.
“Now, I remember there was something about Subsses, right?” I wondered. “Can I pick a second ss?”
<strong>[“Ah, yes! It is something your own System created. It seems it will allow you to have two sses at the same time! You should probably choose one of the many you’ve taken from your foes, orbine them into something for you?”]</strong>
“Hmmm…” I rubbed my chin. “My former ss was made by breaking apart the divinities and divine sses that the Gods offered to be andbining them into a pill. I suppose I can’t do that right now. I’ll do thatter. For now, show me the Raid Shop.”

The only consumable items were these potions and a strange fruit that only grows in the herworld,” which I would assume is the underworld''s real name. Perhaps?
Some Elixirs cleansed, invigorated, and healed the soul, which seemed very good, actually. On my own, I possess little knowledge about healing other people’s souls.
I know of several techniques to heal, repair, and cultivate souls, but not a direct healing technique that couldpletely heal a soul from being destroyed or shattered.
That’s not something I ever delved into, as it was mostly corrted with the Dao of Death and the Dao of Souls, both of which Daos I had notprehended past 10% and 40% respectively.
Although my Inner Realm is incredibly big and full of all kinds of Martial Treasures and Martial Beasts, which I could extract and use in a myriad of ways, Soul and Death Attribute Martial Treasures are rare.
However, after I killed the God of Deep Darkness and absorbed his Divinity, myprehension of Souls, Void, Darkness, and Death increased drastically, or at least in terms of the Daos. My Inner Realm had also absorbed his Divine Realm, so the growth of Soul and Death Attribute Martial Treasures was rapidly increasing.
Nevertheless, I hadn’t had the time to delve into this subject, but potions like these seem very useful to me, as I cannot easily produce something of simr quality due to myck of knowledge in that aspect.
If I could buy these and inspect theirponents and how they’re structured, I could perhaps use my own Alchemy Dao Comprehension, which is at around 80%, to not only replicate but improve them.
Their cost is quite cheap too, but I feel like I shouldn’t buy too impulsively.
I ignored the equipment section as there was absolutely no weapon, essory, or armor that could benefit me and moved to the other sections to see what they had to offer.

The Grimoires and Skill Books were all rted to either manipting the Soul, Nether, or summoning the Undead. I think I could do the same with some of the Skills I haven’t equipped yet or try doing it by channeling the powers of the Divinity I took from that God.
Or I could directly tell God to just use them. They’re quite expensive, though, so I don’t know if I would ever buy any of them. There’s little to no point. However, I am quite interested in the energy maniption Skills, Nether and Soul Aether seem like energies I haven’t gotten a good grasp on.
Actually, I had little idea that Soul Energy was considered “Soul Aether” so that’s a whole new thing I had no idea about. Perhaps the same as Primal Power, by obtaining the energy maniption Skill, I could master its powers.
Although my Skill Slots are still rather limited, I can always just fuse more skills to make space. So I’ll definitely get those two. The Grimoires teach spells, so they could help me furtherprehend how Spells work, such as their Magic Circles, Runic Arrangement, and Mana Circuit Distribution.
So, let’s spend my first million on this.

Still have a lot more points to spare... I could probably buy the Skill Books, at least for Soul Aether, for my family, so they could more easily control their own Soul and begin to cultivate their internal energies, which would hasten the assimtion of their System Status, so they be their power instead of a parasite.
But for now, let’s see thest list of avable items.

<strong>[Cursed Skull of Dark Nightmares (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]</strong>
<strong>[Seed of the Death Tree (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]</strong>
<strong>[Coffin of a Million Dead Souls (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]</strong>

<strong>[Elder Lich Phctery (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]</strong>
<strong>[Avable Raid Score Points: 29.000.000]</strong>
Oh? Interesting, they seem to all be of the maximum grade possible. And their cost is quite high.
However, what can these even do?
A Cursed Skull of Dark Nightmares? Does it produce nightmares?
Then there’s the seed, which seems interesting.
And a coffin—does it really contain a million dead souls?
Next is an Urn of Souls, and then a Key to the Underworld.
It was quite useless, seeing how I almost destroyed everything there, but maybe I could have used that key instead of just breaking in.
I hadpletely ignored the Raid Score Shop.
Andstly, an Elder Lich Phctery. Hmm, from what I remember based on fantasy media before I went to Murim, liches are immortal through their phcteries, right?
Even if their body is destroyed, they can keep recovering or transferring their consciousness to a new vessel; their phctery is where their true souls are after all.
This is one of the things that makes them so terrifying, and it is also what gives them a big weakness at the same time.
Usually, you can always beat a lich if you can find their phctery.
In the hypothetical case, if I use this phctery on myself, I could ce my soul in there, and even if my entire body is destroyed, I can quickly recover a new one inside my Inner Realm.
At the same time, my Inner Realm would remain always safe, so my phctery would never be found.
Nah, it wouldn’t be so easy, wouldn’t it?
And above all, can I even be an Undead being in my current state? I think that’s only something mortals can do now.
I have transcended human flesh and human souls, and I’ve be a being of pure light.
If anything, I am more simr to a divine spirit in terms of physicalposition than an actual living being.
However, I can also easily replicate and recreate a flesh-like body.
Now that I sit down to think, I am indeed rather alien-likepared to everything else.
“Hah… I better not overthink it for now. Okay, I’ll impulsively buy all the trinkets anyway.”
I have a weakness against interesting trinkets; these items aren’t equipment, but they all have their own unique things to them, so I could one day maybe use them. You never know.
<em>Ding!</em>

“Good, it feels nice to collect weird, strange, and mystical trinkets from time to time.”
It was one of the few little hobbies I had back in Murim.
I should probably try using themter, though, as I am quite busy right now.
I needed to quickly have breakfast and then start the pagoda creation.
Well, it’s already mostly done inside my Inner Realm.
Also, there’s a certain person I rescued yesterday, someone who was rather incredible.
I have healed him after his fight against the Primal King, and he has now fully recovered.
And he just happened to have woken up.
Using one of my Doppelgangers, I went to pay him a small visit.
He was sitting down on the small bed I had ced him on, looking around confused; he didn’t know where exactly he was.
“Where is this ce? What… happened? Ugh, my head,” he groaned.
“You still look to be in pain; it was a bit hard to regenerate your brain after it waspletely destroyed, but I am fairly sure I did a good job.” I appeared by his side.
<em>“Uaaagh!”</em>
He was so spooked that I appeared by his side; he fell from the bed right onto the floor head-first.
This young man might be sillier than I imagined.
