Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 109 Undercurrent
Back in his dormitory, Shen He was basically certain that there was an unusual reason behind the cosmic turbulence and various changes.

what reason?
Shen He was unaware.

But he didn't get stuck on the details.

After all, it's going to rain, and a mother will remarry.

Unless you have the power to influence the situation, there's no need to think too much about it; it's pointless anyway.

The priority now is to enhance our strength.

Martial arts level two is far too weak.

So, Shen He went back to his dorm and immediately started unpacking the packages.

"Lulu!"

Soon, several colorful piglets appeared in front of Shen He.

Is becoming invincible starting with pig farming?
Although it was said in jest, it wasn't entirely without basis.

Shen He's current situation is clear. He has reached the fifth level in terms of cultivation and has accumulated experience of nine cycles of the Golden Core over a thousand years. As long as his cultivation keeps up, it will not be difficult for him to enter the sixth level.

But how can one keep up with the level of cultivation?
Without a doubt, medication is the best option.

Originally, he was able to ignore low-level pill poisons and quickly improve his cultivation level by taking medicine, as he was practicing the Devouring Yuan Technique.

Now that he has experienced the Spirit World and has the means of contracting spirit beasts, he can have the spirit beasts take medicine for him and then use the Spirit Contract to get feedback. Even high-level medicines can be used freely without worrying about pill poisoning.

Therefore, medication is the best option, and it is even possible to use medication on both humans and animals to achieve rapid improvement.

In this way, within three years, he should be able to raise his cultivation to the fourth level of martial arts, the True Essence Realm.

A high school student with a fourth-level cultivation level is already considered a top student on a remote planet like Yunlan Star. They wouldn't dare to dream of attending those top-tier martial arts academies, but it would be more than enough for them to attend some second- or third-tier martial arts colleges.

Of course, going to university is only the future. Given Yunlan Star's current situation, it's uncertain whether it even has a future.

Shen He's main purpose in improving his strength was to deal with various crises, ensure that he could escape in time, and take as much as he could from the empire before he could escape, otherwise he might not have the chance to do so again.

Whether it's running away or taking advantage of loopholes, both require sufficient strength to support them.

and so……

Shen He continued unpacking; besides a few piglets, there was a large quantity of feed and various veterinary medicines.

Back in the Spirit World, Shen He had already compared the medicinal properties, so now it was a seamless transition, and he quickly prepared a special version of spirit beast feed.

Although his Spirit Master profession is only at the first level and he has not yet obtained the "Emperor Spirit Beast Feed" talent, the effect of "Spirit Beast Breeding Master" is not bad either, and it can still greatly promote the growth of spirit beasts.

"Lulu!"

Several piglets gathered around the feed trough, happily eating.

Shen He stood to the side, his hands forming a hand seal to perform a spirit control contract.

Although the essence of the Spirit Control system is the special enhancement of the human soul by the Spirit Control world, Shen He has already conducted experiments and found that as long as the spiritual power is strong enough, one can use various Spirit Control secret techniques without any aptitude restrictions such as "spiritual roots".

Not to mention that he has already obtained the Spirit Master profession through the Myriad Paths Fruit. Professional power is greater than everything else. Not to mention the Spirit Master system, even the cultivation system, as long as you open the cultivation profession, you can carry out immortal cultivation regardless of whether you have spiritual roots or not.

Having practiced Xingyi Quan, his mental strength was not weak; he was more than capable of using a first-level Spirit Control Secret Technique.

So the contract was very successful. In no time, the piglets became his contracted spirit beasts. He could get specific information by looking at them with his Spirit Eye.

Jade-toothed Pig

Spirit Beast Rank: First Rank (Spirit Lord Species)
Spirit Beast Type: Pig (Mutant)
Spirit Beast Combat Skill: Devouring Food Like a Glutton.

Three-Yang Pig, Eight-Star Pig, Earth Dragon...

Shen He was never the kind of miser, and he would never treat himself badly if he had money. These piglets were all carefully selected by him from the "Beast Taming Alliance Official Website", and each one was equivalent to a Spirit Master-level Spirit Beast in the Spirit Taming World.

The Beast Taming Alliance is also a major force in the empire, consisting of hundreds of beast taming sects. It mainly deals in various beast taming-related businesses, and even has chain branches on remote planets like Yunlan Star.

Shen He carefully selected several spirit beasts, including the Jade-Toothed Pig, suitable for taking the medicine from their official website. They delivered the goods to his door immediately, with extremely high efficiency and impeccable service. Actually, Shen He also wanted to buy a King-type spirit pig, but such spirit beasts are considered somewhat rare in the Beast Taming Alliance, since they can be raised to at least the fifth rank.

Therefore, Yunlan Star did not have any stock on hand and had to source supplies from other planets.

However, given the situation on Yunlan Star, transferring goods was clearly impractical, so Shen He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and purchase these piglets from the Spirit Master's breed.

Even so, it cost him more than 300 million Imperial Coins, and a third of the money he earned from the Divine Martial Battle Network disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But there's nothing we can do about it. People can't generate electricity from love, and pigs can't survive on air. After buying pigs, you still need to buy feed and various veterinary drugs. All in all, 300 million isn't a lot.

Shen He even increased his bets, purchasing another batch of feed and animal pills, bringing his funds down to 100 million.

This was prescient, because the current situation on Yunlan Star, unless space travel can be resumed, cannot be concealed for long.

When the storm arrives and everyone is in a state of panic, prices will inevitably rise. If you don't buy now, it will be difficult to buy later.

Therefore, Shen He invested all the funds he had on hand, leaving only 100 million for unforeseen circumstances.

Just as Shen He was preparing food for his beloved pet...

Yunlan Star, frontline position, military camp.

"Boom!"

The fighting was fierce and the gunfire was deafening.

"These damned evil god's kin!"

An elderly man in military uniform, his face grim, looked at the front lines where cannons roared and flesh was being eroded: "This cosmic storm was indeed their doing. They want to reclaim these dozens of colony planets and then launch a coordinated attack from within and without to break through the Empire's iron walls?"

His words were filled with a sharp killing intent, yet also carried a hint of helplessness.

As mentioned before, the way the Empire opens up new starfields is by having several ultimate professionals lead the Imperial Legion to surround a starfield, and then build an Imperial Iron Wall on the front line to resist the invasion of the evil god.

Under the iron wall of this empire, these planets will be gradually colonized, but not all natives and resistance fighters will be immediately wiped out, even if those natives are the offspring of the evil god.

The reason is simple: resources!

The empire needs them as resources to provide the imperial army with opportunities to fight, gain experience, hone their skills, and improve their professional levels.

Therefore, even after more than two hundred years of colonization, marginal planets like Yunlan Star still have indigenous resistance forces and active evil god cults.

It's not that the Empire lacks the ability to completely eradicate them, but rather that the Empire needs them as monster spawn points to train its own army.

As for casualties, without casualties, where would the elites and high-level professionals come from?
The empire doesn't care about casualties; it only cares about whether it can train a strong army and improve the overall professional level and combat effectiveness.

Compared to that, what are the deaths of some cannon fodder? They're useless trash who can't even get into university. If they don't come to the military to try and get a good position, do they expect the empire to support them?
There was originally nothing wrong with this business model.

but now……

"General!"

A woman, also dressed in military uniform, said, "The strength of these evil god's followers has clearly increased. If this continues without reinforcements, we may not be able to hold out."

"I know!"

The old man's eyes sharpened: "Immediately demobilize the veterans. As long as they are not crippled or dead, send them back. Also, notify all forces and tell them to provide full support. We are all in the same boat now. If you don't want to die, bring out your savings."

"Yes!"

The woman nodded, but hesitated slightly: "Does that include all universities?"

"Of course!"

The old man sternly said, "They're at a life-or-death situation, do they still want to stay out of it? Those brats can choose not to come, but those graduates have to come, since they can't go to university now anyway. Also, increase the compensation and rewards. If you want people to risk their lives, you can't be stingy!"

"Yes!!!"
