Luo Fan sat cross-legged in the center of the Water Source Crystals.
At this moment, the energy concentration in the entire cultivation room had risen by several levels.
If an ordinary Earthling were to train in this environment, they might become a warrior within just a few days.
In fact, they might not even need to train, simply staying here for a week or two could allow them to break through to the Warrior level.
Luo Fan unfolded his Domain of Water, enveloping all the Water Source Crystals within it.
Immediately, he sensed the tens of thousands of strands of special energy contained inside the domain.
Because he could now comprehend the Origin Law of Water, he was especially sensitive to these unique energies.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Fan directly activated his Domain of Water, absorbing all the special energy from the fifty thousand Water Source Crystals into his body at once.
At the same time, he claimed all the accumulated rewards from the past few days.
"System, claim the rewards!"
In an instant, tens of thousands more Water Source Crystals appeared in the room.
However, Luo Fan no longer had the attention to spare for them.
He began recalling the secret pattern diagrams from the Detailed Explanation of the Origin Law of Water, immersing himself in the enlightenment granted by the system.
At this moment, Luo Fan felt as if he had become a single drop of water, merging into the vast ocean.
An immense flood of comprehension surged into his mind.
As time passed, the color of the domain surrounding Luo Fan grew deeper and deeper.
The temperature around him began to gradually drop.
No one knew how many days had passed before Luo Fan finally opened his eyes.
A trace of regret flashed within them.
This time, his gains were indeed considerable.
The vast amount of comprehension he had received had directly allowed him to master the Eighth Layer of the Domain of Water.
However, he still hadn't stepped across the threshold of the Law.
Luo Fan wasn't particularly disappointed.
After all, this was perfectly normal.
How long had he even been cultivating?
Those geniuses who had crossed into the realm of the Laws had taken countless years to succeed.
Moreover, those geniuses had never lacked for resources.
Stepping into the Eighth Layer of the Domain still brought its benefits.
At the very least, Luo Fan felt that his understanding of the Origin Law of Water had become much clearer.
He didn't leave the spaceship right away but instead entered the Virtual Universe.
Inside, he searched for several Grade Four Peak weapons.
Among them were the Grade Four Peak Spirit Weapon "Azure Sea Tide" and the Grade Four Peak Warrior Weapon "Frost Mist Battle Blade."
At the same time, he also looked up the secret techniques compatible with these weapons.
Since he had yet to step across the threshold of the Origin Law of Water, he decided to make do with Grade Four weapons for now.
After all, it wasn't as if he lacked money.
Besides, he could always take on another mission later and earn some additional rewards.
After deciding what to purchase, Luo Fan directly instructed Dumpling to activate the spaceship and enter the Dark Universe.
In the next instant, the spaceship departed from the secret realm.
Within the Dark Universe, a massive wormhole appeared ahead of the ship.
Dumpling skillfully maneuvered the spacecraft through it.
Emerging from the wormhole, another one appeared right before them once again.
In this way, after passing through several wormholes, Luo Fan arrived at one of the administrative planets directly governed by the Qianwu Universe Nation — Qianyao Star.
This was the planet where one of the princesses of the Qianwu Universe Nation resided.
Many Domain Lords also lived there.
At a location tens of millions of kilometers away from Qianyao Star, Luo Fan returned to the Original Universe.
He immediately switched to a different spaceship.
Then, traveling once more through a wormhole, he arrived near Qianyao Star.
The reason he didn't buy the weapons through the Virtual Universe was because, after purchasing, he would still have to wait several days for delivery.
The more precious the item, the longer the delivery time.
For Grade Four weapons, it would probably take a few days as well.
Therefore, Luo Fan simply decided to go to one of the administrative planets of the Qianwu Universe Nation to buy them directly.
Here, not to mention Grade Four weapons, even Grade Five weapons could be purchased directly on-site.
After paying the docking fee, Luo Fan went straight into Celestial Jade City.
The city walls of Celestial Jade City were made of a colorful, glass-like metal, dazzlingly beautiful.
However, Luo Fan had no interest in admiring the scenery. He headed straight toward the Myriad Arms Pavilion.
This was a well-known chain store within the Qianwu Universe Nation, specializing in the sale of all kinds of weapons.
The prices were fair and reasonable, they didn't cheat customers.
Along the way, Luo Fan noticed that many of the people here possessed powerful auras.
From the spaceport to the Myriad Arms Pavilion, he encountered four Domain Lords and over a thousand Cosmic-level experts.
Most of those he passed on the streets were Stellar-level warriors.
In fact, Planetary-level warriors were relatively rare.
Yet even those at the Planetary level all appeared wealthy and distinguished.
Before long, Luo Fan arrived at the entrance of the Myriad Arms Pavilion.
"Welcome, honored guest. How may I assist you today?"
The welcoming attendant, a Stellar-level Ninth Rank beauty, smiled warmly at Luo Fan without the slightest hint of disdain, despite him being only a Planetary-level warrior.
Luo Fan didn't hesitate and directly stated the weapons he wished to purchase.
"Understood. Please follow me," she replied.
Before long, the Stellar-level Ninth Rank woman led Luo Fan into a reception room.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go retrieve the Azure Sea Tide and Frost Mist Battle Blade for you."
Soon, she returned with two weapons and their corresponding secret techniques.
[Mission: Obtain 102 sets of Azure Sea Tide, Frost Mist Battle Blade, and their matching secret techniques. Reward: Grade Five weapon and matching secret technique ×204]
As for that reward, Luo Fan could only think it was fairly standard, nothing extraordinary.
The reason he was buying so many sets was mainly so that his avatars could use them as well.
Although his avatars couldn't comprehend the Laws, it was still fine for them to practice secret techniques and weapon mastery.
Even though Luo Fan was buying in bulk, the Stellar-level Ninth Rank attendant showed no surprise at all.
After all, this was Celestial Jade Star.
This time, Luo Fan spent several hundred billion Universe Coins on these items, almost equivalent to the price of an ordinary Grade Five weapon.
After finishing his purchase, Luo Fan went to a Treasure Pavilion to buy some Wood Spirit Fruits.
[Mission: Purchase 10,000 Wood Spirit Fruits. Reward: 10 Lan Ke Fruits.]
These were used for healing Stellar-level warriors, and were far more effective than Wood Spirit Liquid.
Right now, if Luo Fan wanted to heal his injuries using Wood Spirit Liquid, he would need to consume quite a large amount.
But with Wood Spirit Fruits, just one was enough.
Each Wood Spirit Fruit was only about two to three centimeters in diameter, making them very convenient to consume.
After completing these purchases, Luo Fan returned directly to the secret realm.
The entire round trip had taken only a few hours.
If he had bought them through the Virtual Universe, it would have taken several days.
Back in the secret realm, Luo Fan eagerly distributed the weapons to his avatars.
As for the avatars in other universe nations, it was even easier.
He simply placed the weapons into the system reward spatial rings.
Then, the avatars in the other universe nations could sequentially take out the spatial rings and retrieve the weapons inside.
This could be considered a small trick.
While his other avatars continued hunting Water Source Beasts, Luo Fan couldn't wait to begin studying the secret techniques paired with the Azure Sea Tide and Frost Mist Battle Blade.
Just as he was learning the paired secret techniques, one avatar that had ventured deep into the Domain of Fire made a new discovery.
