Chapter 241: Elite Troop – Part 1
The first part of the technique was completed with the body, which was to do the 48 movements until the Meridian Veins Connection. Now, he didn’t need to make those moves anymore, he needed to strengthen his bones. And the Divine Spiritual Body created special bones, each technique creating through a different way. Basically, it was torture because one felt the bone break to be restored and strengthened.
Mainly, in his case, he would be creating spiritual bones. In short, he was going to feel a lot of pain in the process.
The pill he bought in order to help with the process was called the Spiritual Bone Pill, and it was made mainly from the bones of spiritual beings and spiritual herbs. Because of that, the price of this pill was very high. He had only managed to buy a little more than 50 of them. The pill was incredibly white and even glowed like a light bulb.
It entered Luan’s body slowly as if it were sinking into a sea, illuminating his body and stopping near his navel. Like aspirin, the pill started boiling and dissolving and spread through the body and started going to all the parts of his body toward his bones.
*Crack!*
His bones started to crack, but without being crushed, as his bones had already gone through refinement and were very strong. The only difference now was that he needed to crack all the bones and gradually transform them into spirit bones. It was an arduous process.
Luan tried hard not to scream until he couldn’t take it, since it was all of his bones at once. He was lucky he created a silence spell. If not, it would have been embarrassing for him.
The cold weather helped with the process, as his body was boiling like a volcano and the pure, dense Qi was good enough to replenish what he used to restore his bones the moment they were cracked. His blood turned turbulent, and it was hotter than magma. If he didn’t have a strong body, he would be burned alive. Using Qi to cool the blood and heal the bones, the process made Luan scream many times.
Worse than that it was just the beginning; he hadn’t even gotten past the first level and it had twelve levels. It was practically asking to be tortured. If not for the pill, it would have been even worse, as he would have had to crack the bone himself for it to take effect, but the pill was already doing that while strengthening the bones to become spiritual bones.
Luan was sweating cold, and in a place where the climate was many degrees below zero. His sweat was not simple sweat, but impurity that came out of his pores that were still in his bones. As much as he had already refined the bones and there was no impurity to exist, it was basically impossible to eliminate all of the impurity. One can be in an almost perfect state without impurity, but there will always be some.
Maybe even when he completed the 12 levels he still wouldn’t have his bones 100% without impurity. That’s why it was necessary to keep improving.

After the Elite Troop entered the dungeon, they went to the 35th floor. They had won 5 thousand Credits apiece. Even Arlinda had gotten that amount. They spent a long time training under pressure on the stairs until they reached the 35th floor.
After that, they didn’t even need armor and weapons, as they had Third Order weapons and armor provided by Luan.
“Let’s be careful. Luan made it clear that other races might appear and want to kill and steal from us. This can be common. That’s why you don’t trust people blindly,” Elijah said wisely. Then they continued walking past the great gate.
They came across a very hot city. It seemed that it was a city close to the desert. It was so hot! They walked and were stopped by a crowd people who looked kind of crazy.
“Help me! You guys can go back and access the store, right? Buy me something, I really need it, help me!”
“I just need some pills! Please buy them for us!”
“Help us! We need food! We can pay in Credit, please!”
“Of course, we can do this, but you’ll need to sign this contract before we do.” Elias took some papers he had received from Luan. They were contract papers. Once signed, if the contract was broken, the person’s soul would be destroyed. It was low-level and only worked on those below the Fourth Order, so Luan gave him a lot.
“…”
Many walked away. Of course, many were just cheaters and wanted to take advantage of them, however, they did not expect these visitors to have a contract, and many recognized that it was a soul contract, as it was common in trading.
“H-How much do you want to charge for transactions?” a woman asked in a shaky voice. She just hoped it wasn’t something above 5 times the original amount.
“It depends on the value of what we’re going to buy. We can get in and out of the tower x number of times,” Elijah lied. Luan explained that some worlds were like that, but theirs was not; that’s why he would take advantage of it. “So, depending on the amount, if it’s small, I’ll charge 100% of the amount, but if it’s something above 10,000 Credits, we’ll charge 50%.”
This completely surprised them all. After all, this was pretty cheap! They rubbed their eyes to see if they weren’t dreaming. But when they saw that the deal was real, now they were happy for the contract to exist, as they themselves wanted to sign a contract with him.
Before long, many had placed orders, and all were over 10,000 Credit. There were a total of 23 people in the Elite Squad, and they accepted 23 requests first, and entered and exited the tower with the items they sold, and before long, they had earned a lot of Credits. However, after three rounds, there were no more orders.
Of course, those who had less than 10,000 Credits expected to collectively purchase and order later. As these strangers had showed up in this town, it meant their save point was in this town. Of course, they could change the town, however, they would probably stay awhile there, right? With that thought in mind, many went hunting.
“Now we have a lot of Credits. Let’s spend wisely and get strong fast and be able to help our family members too!” Elijah shouted, motivating them.
Every one of them that initially had 5,000 Credits now had more than 20,000. From their perspective, it was a lot of Credits. They even bought new armor and intended to sell the old ones.
In fact, they all had 2 cubic meter storage rings. Luan was kind enough to craft them for them. Although not that rare, it was better to keep some things in storage, especially the old armor and weapons.
After that, they were even more motivated by the new world that opened up to them. Some were thinking about family members. After all, they all have a family. And if they earned a lot of Credits, it could buy them good things, but they were told by Elias, “You can help your families, I’ll be doing that myself, but don’t stop getting stronger at the same time. Use at least half of the gains on getting stronger. And the stronger you are, the more Credits you will get!”
This was very logical. Some who had ideas to spend it all on family members thought twice about it. It was true; they couldn’t let themselves get weaker and end up having to be separated from the group. After all, nobody wanted to be dead weight.
The townspeople saw Elias and the rest leaving town and sighed. They wanted them to live at least a few months in this city so they could improve their living conditions, but it was hard to predict what the strangers were going to do and they didn’t even dare ask so as not to piss them off.
“There is no forest and no water nearby, so these people even asked to buy 100,000 Water Credits…” Samantha sighed.
Well, it was true that these people were having a hard time, but that shouldn’t be right. If that had always been the case, why didn’t they go to another land?
