Author: Half a Lifetime in the Market

A desolate level spiritual stone, it is a good thing that can increase your cultivation by 100 days by refining one piece, and its value is no less than 100 origin points!

Gu Changsheng did not hesitate and immediately spent a point of origin to strengthen the spirit stone.

As a piece of information flashed through his mind, a spiritual stone was strengthened by him into a wasteland.

[Lingshi: Wild; after refining, it can increase the cultivation level by 100 days. The time required for refining: half an hour.]

It also takes half an hour to refine, but the effect of the wild-level spiritual stone is ten times that of the ordinary-level spiritual stone!

[Whether to spend ten origin points to strengthen [Spiritual Stone·Desolation], after strengthening, its grade will be upgraded to Xuan grade. 】

And the desolate level spirit stone can be strengthened with only ten origin points!

The best spiritual stone Gu Changsheng has ever seen is the Huangjie. The Xuanjie is not even introduced in textbooks.

He couldn't help but get excited.

In anticipation, he continued to spend ten origin points to strengthen the wild-level spiritual stone.

As the ten origin points were consumed, the spirit stone flashed with light, taking on a mysterious blue color that was far more transparent than the colorless interior, and its information also changed.

[Lingshi: Xuan; after refining, it can increase the cultivation level by 1000 days. The time required for refining: half an hour.]

"Can you increase your cultivation level by a thousand days?!"

Gu Changsheng was elated. The effect of this mysterious level spirit stone was ten times stronger than that of the desolate level. It was simply a treasure!

A crazy idea suddenly came to his mind. If he strengthened the spirit stones in batches to Xuan level and sold them, would he be able to achieve financial freedom?

This is not only freedom of wealth, but becoming the richest man in the world is probably not a problem.

Just thinking about it made Gu Changsheng flush with excitement.

But he soon became discouraged and his face became sad.

Selling high-level spiritual stones would certainly make him rich, but he would not be able to enjoy it.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Once others know that he has a large number of high-level spiritual stones, his territory will be trampled instantly.

Even if he doesn't let anyone know about it, as long as he arouses others' suspicion or is worried about him, he will only die.

Therefore, selling spiritual stones is completely unfeasible.

At least when he was weak, he wouldn't even think about this path.

"Mysterious grade spiritual stones can continue to be strengthened!"

After taking a long time to calm down, Gu Changsheng looked at the Xuanjie spirit stone again and found that it could still be strengthened, but the cost had been increased to one hundred origin points.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough origin points now, otherwise he would have to strengthen a spiritual level spirit stone to take a look.

He speculated that according to the current rules, if the spiritual stone is strengthened to the spiritual level, it will most likely increase the cultivation level by 10,000 days after refining!

Ten thousand days equals approximately 27.4 years!

Just one piece of refining can allow a living being at the first level of the mortal realm to instantly enter the Qi training realm, which is simply outrageous!

He was extremely hot-eyed.

"It would be better to strengthen a few more Xuan-level spiritual stones for cultivation."

Lingshi is also a hard currency, so Gu Changsheng doesn't have to worry about losing it after using it.

After using it up, he can find someone to trade some mortal-level spiritual stones to strengthen himself.

At the same time, Gu Changsheng also had some guesses in his mind.

"The consumption of the original source talent seems to increase tenfold with each additional enhancement, and the initial consumption of different items is also different."

If the object he has enhanced has a suffix of +1, +2, +3, etc., the origin point consumed by +1 depends on the enhanced item.

The cost of +2 is ten times that of +1.

In the same way, +3 is ten times as much as +2.

By analogy, this consumption increases exponentially.

The later you consume the origin points, the more outrageous it becomes.

However, consumption and harvest are absolutely proportional. The more he consumes, the greater he can harvest.

Just this Mysterious Level Cultivation Stone, which was sold for five to six thousand Origin Points, was worthless!

After all, this small Xuan-level spirit stone can gain a thousand days of cultivation, which is about 2.7 years!

Gu Changsheng did not delve into the talent further. He looked at the other item he had just obtained - [Langlang Mountain].

[Langlang Mountain; Mortal; Secret Realm; After use, you can place 〖Langlang Mountain〗 Secret Realm in the territory. 〖Langlang Mountain: Mortal; it contains endless mountains, and the unknown is hidden in the mountains. You can enter it to explore and have a chance to obtain treasures.

.〗】

"Secret realm?"

Gu Changsheng had never heard that a secret realm could be placed in a territory, nor had he seen it in textbooks.

"Is it a super rare item?"

Generally speaking, things that are not mentioned in textbooks are either super rare or absolutely taboo.

Judging from the description of Langlang Mountain, it should not be a taboo item.

So it is inferred that this thing is super rare?

Gu Changsheng remained skeptical.

Langlang Mountain can also be strengthened, but the origin points required for strengthening are a bit outrageous, it actually costs 10,000 points!

This made him even more convinced that Langlang Mountain was not simple.

He came to a corner of the territory and placed Langlang Mountain.

A beam of light shone from the sky, and soon a projection appeared in front of Gu Changsheng.

The mountains stretch endlessly for thousands of miles, and clusters of clouds and mist shroud the mountains, making it difficult for people to see the scene in the mountains.

【Langlang Mountain: Secret Realm

Grade: ordinary

Explanation: It contains endless mountains, and unknown things are hidden in the mountains. You can enter and explore them, and there is a chance of obtaining treasures.】

Nongyue came over at some point. She blinked her eyes and looked at the endless mountains in the projection carefully, thoughtfully.

Seems to know something about Langlang Mountain.

"Do you know anything about this?"

Gu Changsheng asked.

Nonyue shook her head and said, "I just think it's very unusual."

"What's unusual about it?"

Nongyue pouted and continued to shake her head: "I don't know."

"Okay, you continue to increase your cultivation points."

"Okay!"

Nong Yue left.

Gu Changsheng looked at it for a while, but couldn't see the reason. He thought about it and decided to explore this secret realm later. The top priority was to eliminate the hidden danger next door!

"I'll let you dance for another half hour."

Now that the demon ants have reached the seventh level of the mortal realm, they are fully capable of fighting the opponent.

However, the opponent still had dozens of seventh-level mortal realm panthers, so Gu Changsheng decided to be on the safe side and wait at least half an hour before leaving the mountain!

Taking advantage of this time, he decided to improve his strength first.

The ultimate purpose of developing a territory is to enable oneself to obtain more cultivation resources, thereby improving one's realm and achieving longevity.

But you can't put the cart before the horse.

He took out two mental scrolls - [Body Forging Technique] and [Qingxin Jue].

Only by cultivating the mental method can you refine the spirit stone. Otherwise, if you refine it directly, the spiritual energy will flow around the body and make people explode and die!

Mental Dharma is different from Taoism. Mental Dharma can only choose one practice. If you want to switch to another practice, you can only give up the previous mental method and start over.

Gu Changsheng thought for a while and chose to practice [Qingxin Jue].

[Comprehend the [Qingxin Jue], practice bonus +0.3.]

Gu Changsheng looked at the column of his own thoughts.

Heart Method: [Qingxin Jue: Mortal; practice bonus 0.3, immune to slight negative effects; first time practice (0/3 years)]

Cultivation = Cultivation duration * Aura index * Mental method bonus.

The mental method has the same proficiency classification as the Tao method: first learning and practicing, first getting a glimpse of the door, making a small success, becoming a master, becoming proficient, and reaching the pinnacle.

The training bonus provided by the initial proficiency of ordinary-level mental skills is 0.3, and it can reach 2.8 when reaching the peak.

Although it is far less rapid than the speed of cultivation brought by refining spirit stones, the heart method has an advantage that spirit stones can never replace - after practicing the heart method, you will have additional 'passive/active skills'!
