Cultivation experience +1!
Cultivation experience +1!
......
Changâsheng swallowed a Yuan Condensing Pill, activated the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique, and his panel kept popping up notifications.
Once the medicinal power of a Yuan Condensing Pill was fully absorbed, Changâsheng went ahead and took another one.
As the "+1 experience" notification appeared, his aura grew steadily stronger.
"I didnât expect breaking through to Foundation Establishment Second Layer would be this easy!"
"Could it be because I absorbed Heaven and Earth Qi and became a Flawless Dao Foundation?"
One day passed.
Changâsheng opened his eyes, looking down at his hands, surprise and joy on his face.
At the same timeâ
A torrent of magical power burst forth from his dantian, flooding his entire body!
Heâd thought heâd get stuck at 999 experience points, that it wouldnât be such a breeze to break through, but after consuming five Yuan Condensing Pills and one Essence Stabilizing Pill, he easily reached Foundation Establishment Second Layer.
"Keep taking elixirs!"
Expectation glimmered in Changâshengâs eyes, and he immediately pulled out another Yuan Condensing Pill and swallowed it, keeping an eye on his panel.
"So now that Iâve become Foundation Establishment Second Layer, one Yuan Condensing Pill only raises my experience by 100 points?"
Soon, Changâsheng took another Yuan Condensing Pill. Glancing at the panel with the rising experience numbers, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
[Foundation Establishment Second Layer (0/2000)]
To advance from Foundation Establishment Second Layer to Third Layer, it takes 2,000 experience points; at this rate, itâd take 20 Yuan Condensing Pills to do it!
"Letâs try an Essence Stabilizing Pill!"
Changâshengâs eyes gleamed as he took out an Essence Stabilizing Pill.
Heâd found the Essence Stabilizing Pill in Xuan Jingâs storage bag; the last one he took gave 400 experience points, but now that heâs entered Foundation Establishment Second Layer, who knows how much itâll boost?
This pill was faintly white, radiating strong fragrance, about the size of a pigeonâs eggâdefinitely high quality.
Changâsheng swallowed the pill, and its immense medicinal power instantly swept through his body. Quick as a flash, he activated the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique to absorb the surging energy!
Meanwhile, he closely watched the changes on his experience panel!
"One Essence Stabilizing Pill used to grant 400 experience points, but now only gives 200. Looks like as cultivation rises, the experience gain halvesâso all effects get cut in half!"
Half an hour later, Changâsheng stared at his panel, deep in thought.
As his experience increased, he sensed the magical power in his dantian growing thicker and more refined.
"Keep taking pillsâletâs see if I can break through to Foundation Establishment Third Layer!"
Staring at the pile of Yuan Condensing and Essence Stabilizing Pills in front of him, Changâsheng made up his mindâsince experience points improve cultivation, he might as well just take as many as he can!
With a Ghost Dao Tracking planted on him by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, his only hope for safety was to level up his cultivation as quickly as possible.
Time ticked by.
Six hours passed.
[Foundation Establishment Second Layer (1999/2000)]
"Looks like I still have to grind it out!"
Changâsheng glanced at his panel, a frown creasing his brow.
No matter how many pills he swallowed, his experience points just wouldnât cross that threshold!
"Guess Iâll cultivate some techniques, master the Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique, and then simplify it, perfect it, and when I fuse it with my Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique and Five Elements Pure Yang Technique, I wonder what kind of Foundation Establishment Technique Iâll get?"
Excitement sparked in Changâshengâs eyes. He knew the better and more complete a cultivation technique was, the greater boost it gave his own cultivation. With three techniques merged, a much stronger one was bound to emerge!
Thinking this, Changâsheng took out the Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique manual and began reading.
[Ghost Dao Essence Condensing Technique (Entry Level 0/1000)]
After skimming the manual twenty odd times, his panel popped up with a red notification.
"Entry Level unlocked?"
Changâsheng stared at the notification, pleased.
[Detected Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique at Entry Level. Would you like to spend 100 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]
Right then, the panel flashed another red notification.
"Simplify!"
Changâsheng wasted no time clicking confirm.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique... Simplification complete... Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique == Ghost Squeeze!]
Twenty seconds after clicking confirm, another red notification popped up.
"Ghost Squeeze?"
Changâsheng blinked in confusion at the new result.
These Demon Dao techniques, once simplified, always ended up connected to ghosts.
Ghost Squeezeâthis oneâs easy. His Myriad Soul Banner held plenty of ghost soulsâQi Hui, Xuan Jingâjust pick a few and squeeze the hell out of them. Torture them till their eyes roll, rack up experience on the technique while heâs at it. Damn, thatâs just too satisfying!
"Come on out!"
With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Soul Banner appeared in his grip, and Changâsheng shook it. In a flash, Qi Hui and Xuan Jingâs souls materialized in the cave.
"Senior...please spare me..."
"I know I was a scumbag and deserved to die for daring to attack you. Iâll atone for it! Please, donât torture me anymore..."
Qi Hui saw Changâsheng summon him and instantly turned pale with terror, dropping to his knees and kowtowing over and over.
Ever since Changâsheng captured his soul, every few days it was the sameâburning, chopping, sliced a thousand ways. Dying never came; the endless torment was driving him insane.
"Spare you? Heh..."
Changâsheng stared at Qi Hui, lips curling in a cold sneer. He knew damn wellâif his power hadnât ascended and turned the tables back then, heâd have ended up as Qi Huiâs soul seed, and the results wouldâve been unimaginably grim.
