"Self-enlightenment?!"
Old Ye froze on the spot.
He had always believed his own alchemical talent already bordered on monstrous—but compared to Luo Bing, it was like comparing a firefly to the moon.
Watching the old man sink into shock, Luo Bing suddenly had an idea.
This elder had been an alchemist for decades.
There was no way he wasn't rolling in money.
Why not open a little 'Sunflower Mommy Classroom', teach some premium content, and collect high-grade source stones to speed up his upgrades?
With that thought, Luo Bing smiled at Old Ye.
"How about this—I'll set up a chat group and occasionally upload some insights on alchemy."
"Paid access."
"You can help me invite other alchemists. I'll give you a discount."
Old Ye's eyes lit up immediately.
"That would be fantastic!"
He didn't hesitate at all.
The masked youth before him clearly possessed talent not inferior to the Medicine God—perhaps even faintly surpassing him.
If he could secretly learn a few techniques, he'd be able to dominate the alchemy circle with ease.
Very soon—
After scanning the QR code to join the group and exchanging a few greetings, Old Ye left happily, practically skipping like a child.
Only after he was gone did the mysterious shadow finally speak.
"Can you sell that Enlightenment Potion to me?"
"Oh, so that's what you were after."
Luo Bing suddenly understood.
For a moment, he'd thought this mysterious girl had taken a liking to him—thankfully, that wasn't the case.
Relaxing, he took out the faintly glowing potion from his storage ring.
The moment the girl saw it, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.
"Yes—this one. Exactly this."
"I can sell it," Luo Bing said cautiously, "but how much are you offering?"
He wasn't familiar with the market price.
A 10% potion seemed to go for around five million.
This one was 100%—even if it was one-time use, ten million didn't sound unreasonable.
"Thirty million," the girl said, holding up three slender fingers.
"Thirty… million?!"
Luo Bing's pupils shrank violently.
This level of casual extravagance—just who was this girl?
He hadn't even seen that many Joy Beans in his life.
Of course, behind the white mask, his ecstatic expression went completely unnoticed.
"…Not enough?"
Seeing Luo Bing fall silent, she panicked slightly. "Then thirty-five million!"
Another five million added just like that.
Trying to process the massive number, Luo Bing sucked in a sharp breath.
Hearing his reaction, the girl misunderstood again and hurriedly revealed her bottom line.
"I only have fifty million on me right now. I really can't offer more than that."
"Deal!"
Luo Bing's heart was pounding wildly—this was even more thrilling than winning the lottery.
Ding!
"Your account has received 50,000,000 Federation Credits."
Suppressing the urge to laugh maniacally, Luo Bing tossed the potion over.
From within the mist, a pale, delicate hand caught it steadily.
After a brief hesitation, the girl spoke again.
"Can we exchange contact information? If I need something in the future, it'll be easier to trade."
"…Sure."
Following the principle of money is always welcome, Luo Bing nodded.
After adding each other online, the two parted ways.
Not long after—
Luo Bing returned to his rented apartment.
Yang Yiyi was waiting next door in an empty unit.
She normally didn't live here, but ever since Luo Bing started renting in this building, she had moved in as well.
As for why…
Who knew.
Slap!
After he paid off all the overdue rent, Yang Yiyi angrily slapped him once—then slammed the door shut.
Rubbing his aching, handsome face, Luo Bing stood there completely baffled.
Was it because when he knocked earlier… Sister Yiyi had been wearing…?
Seriously—if she knew he was coming back, why dress so privately?
He didn't get it.
And when she took the money, she'd looked oddly reluctant.
Shaking off the confusion, Luo Bing returned to his room.
"System, recharge ten million."
He felt extremely handsome saying it.
Ding!
"Ten million Magatama successfully recharged. Please spend responsibly."
Responsibly?
Luo Bing smiled faintly.
He still had fifty million left to burn.
Ding!
"Host spending level has reached Xinyue Level 1. Xinyue Shop unlocked!"
"Randomly sells 10% of items from the Naruto world."
Xinyue Shop?
Naruto-world items?
Good grief—this thing was determined to squeeze his wallet dry.
"Later. First, help me unlock the Rinnegan · Animal Path."
Ding!
"Consuming 1,000,000 Magatama. Unlocking Rinnegan ability—Six Paths of Reincarnation: Animal Path."
The cold system notification sounded.
At the same time—
A vast amount of detailed Rinnegan usage knowledge flooded into Luo Bing's mind.
He felt his Rinnegan instantly wrapped in a comforting warmth, as if undergoing a transformation.
Moments later, the warmth faded.
Luo Bing blinked.
The world looked even clearer than before.
He opened the system interface.
[Host]: Luo Bing

He then opened the ability details.

The moment he saw the words "Secondary unlock requires 10,000,000 Magatama", Luo Bing's eyelid twitched.
"It jumped straight up ten times?! That's robbery!"
Next time, it'd probably cost a whole small goal to unlock.
No wonder it was called the Xinyue Shop—a paradise for heavy spenders.
Ding!
"This is all to ensure we wholeheartedly create joy for the host."
The system's shameless justification rang out.
Luo Bing rolled his eyes helplessly and opened the Animal Path details.
[Animal Path]
One of the Six Paths, governing Summoning Techniques.
Granted Abilities:
Summoning Technique · HumanRinnegan · Summoning TechniqueBestowal
Summoning Technique · Human:
Allows the summoning of other Six Paths from afar.
Rinnegan · Summoning Technique:
An advanced summoning method that does not require blood contracts.
Spirit beasts are controlled via black receivers and ocular power,
with shared vision between controller and target.
Bestowal:
The Rinnegan's granting ability—allows partial abilities of the main body
to be shared through black receivers.
"For aesthetic considerations, the black receivers used to control spirit beasts have been replaced with flesh buds from the Stand World."
"Please purchase from the Xinyue Shop (Magatama Zone). Price: 100 Magatama per unit."
Luo Bing couldn't help complaining.
"Damn. You really don't miss a single chance to skim profit—not even a fly's leg."
After venting, he thought it through.
Yes, it relied heavily on spending—but the experience was undeniably amazing.
According to the Rinnegan Summoning description, from now on, if he encountered any divine beast, he could just beat it down—
Implant a flesh bud—
And gain full control.
On top of that, through the buds, he could even grant Rinnegan abilities to his subordinates.
Absolutely beautiful.
What surprised him even more was that summoning had no spirit-beast slot limit.
Compared
to Blue Continent Star's Beast Tamer system, this was on another level entirely.
Just think—
A single-use Enlightenment Potion sold for fifty million.
That alone showed how outrageously broken the ninja world's summoning techniques were in this world.
