Chapter 510: Chapter 509: Qiu Yuepiao Arrives
Demon beasts, especially those with formidable strength, could be considered treasures from head to toe. Whether it was blood, flesh, fur, scale armor, or muscles and bones, Immortal Cultivators could find a way to utilize them.
So they were all extremely valuable.
Among all these demon beast corpses, the one with the highest value was naturally the poisonous flood dragon whose strength had reached the peak of the Divine Realm and was about to undergo Core Formation. Bai Ziyue roughly estimated that the materials from its body alone could bring him earnings of fifteen million low-grade Spirit Stones.
This calculation did not include the Flood Dragon Poison Pill. Otherwise, the value would be even higher.
"Then there are these five storage bags."
He handled the storage bags very swiftly.
Soon enough, he had taken out everything inside them.
"There weren’t many Spirit Stones, totaling just over eight million low-grade Spirit Stones. Especially among the cultivators who lured the poisonous flood dragon, their Spirit Stones were scarce.
However, they were not lacking in valuable items, which were of high worth.
Three poisonous burial flowers, seven stalks of Holy Spirit Grass, one Dragon-shaped Soaring... These are all Fourth Grade Level Treasures of Heaven and Earth. Not to mention dozens of Third-Grade Spiritual Materials and the rare Flood Dragon skin molt... I imagine they obtained these from the poisonous flood dragon’s lair.
Excluding Spirit Stones, the various Dharma Treasures and spiritual materials in the five storage bags had a total value of about twenty-seven million low-grade Spirit Stones.
However, if calculated individually, the most valuable item would be this Flood Dragon Egg."
After Bai Ziyue counted the items within the five storage bags, his Divine Thought brushed over the Spirit Beast Bag to fall upon the Flood Dragon Egg brimming with vitality.
This Flood Dragon Egg, whether for an individual or for various Immortal Technique Influences, held significant importance.
Especially for demon beasts like the flood dragon that held immense potential and grew quickly.
Once matured, it could serve as an incredibly vital support.
Bai Ziyue took it out to examine for a while, pondered slightly, and then stored it away again.
For the moment, he couldn’t quite decide how to handle it.
"However, in total, this time I have gained forty-eight million low-grade Spirit Stones alone and other gains worth approximately eighty million. In sum, this harvest amounted to a total of one hundred and twenty million low-grade Spirit Stones. Even when converted to Top-grade Spirit Stones, it would be twelve thousand eight hundred... Even accounting for some depreciation, it still amounted to about twelve thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones."
Bai Ziyue secretly marveled.
This harvest truly amazed him.
Over a hundred million Spirit Stones!
It immediately made his financial resources more robust.
"However, one hundred and twenty million low-grade Spirit Stones were indeed considerable, but compared to the expenses needed for my power advancement, it amounted to nothing.
Though the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique was strong, it was indeed a consumer of Spiritual Qi.
From the early-stage Divine Realm to the mid-stage Divine Realm, I had already spent sixty million low-grade Spirit Stones.
If I wanted to advance my strength from the mid-stage Divine Realm to the late-stage Divine Realm, the number of Spirit Stones required would immediately increase to one hundred and twenty million low-grade Spirit Stones.
In essence, this harvest would only suffice to enhance my strength to the late-stage Divine Realm.
If I wanted to reach the peak of the Divine Realm and complete the third Divine Transformation, the quantity of required Spirit Stones would need to be doubled."
*Every time he thought about this, even with his ample resources, he felt waves of pressure come crashing down upon him.*
No longer dwelling on it, his gaze quickly fell onto his Attribute Panel, and the pressure dissipated. His heart spirit suddenly felt liberated, "Apart from the gains in Spirit Stones and Dharma Treasures, the soul energy harvested was also considerable.
Currently, my soul energy count has finally risen above thirty million, reaching thirty-four million points.
Moreover, after the previous battles and usage, the cultivation progress of several of my Great Divine Techniques has also improved.
Among them, the progress of the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting advanced the fastest, already reaching 97% of the Uninitiated level. As for the Five Emperors Divine Robe and the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword, they advanced to 87% and 91% of the Uninitiated level, respectively, nearly reaching Entry Level."
The harvest was immense.
This round also pleasantly surprised him.
"Indeed, only by venturing outside, my strength can quickly advance. How long would it take to accumulate so many Spirit Stones and collect so much soul energy if I stayed within the sect conforming to routine?
*It’s likely that even my time to break through to the mid-stage Divine Realm would be delayed by a month or two.*
Now... Let’s focus on enhancing my Immortal Technique Realm to the peak of the mid-stage Divine Realm first."
Bai Ziyue silently calculated the Spirit Stone quantity: forty-eight million plus the seven million remaining in his storage bag, still leaving a certain gap, but the shortfall was minimal.
He had also obtained some Spirit Pills capable of augmenting his cultivation. Although not as efficient as directly absorbing Spirit Stones, they were still sufficient.
Considering this, he ceased hesitating. With a wave of his hand, he immediately extracted a heap of Spirit Stones.
This heap consisted of three million low-grade Spirit Stones.
With his strength enhancement, the devouring power of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique had also significantly increased, and naturally, the absorption and conversion efficiency greatly improved.
With a grind of Divine Thought, three million low-grade Spirit Stones turned to powder, causing a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to diffuse instantly.
Bai Ziyue immediately employed the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique, and a terrifying suction power arose from his body, engulfing the abundant and concentrated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi entirely into his body.
The Dao Heart Lamp ignited.
Inside him, one thousand two hundred ninety-six acupoints shook simultaneously, inhaling and exhaling intensely, as his enormous Dantian kept spinning.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
Strands of incredibly pure Divine Thought Power were transformed by him, stacking up his Immortal Technique cultivation, which began to grow continuously.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
After an entire day, Bai Ziyue slowly opened his eyes.
"Peak of Mid-stage Divine Realm now.
The Divine Thought Power not only became more abundant than before but also much more solidified.
This time, although the minor advancement in realm didn’t bring about as massive a change in my power as during the time of Divine Transformation, it still grew significantly."
Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile on his face.
Power enhancement, no matter how you look at it, was something to celebrate, naturally making him delighted.
"However, because of this, my Spirit Stones are completely depleted.
I can’t even take out a single Spirit Stone now.
With a few days left before the next rent payment for the Ascension Pavilion is due, it seems it’s time for me to go out and sell all the spiritual materials and Dharma treasures in my Storage Bag."
He thought inwardly and didn’t hesitate, immediately got up, and left the Celestial Grade Cultivation Secret Chamber.
...
"Cloud-piercing City, here we are!"
Amidst the long queue, a simply dressed girl, with her small face deliberately smeared with some special spirit water that made her look somewhat ugly, sat on a cart, gazing at the long line ahead, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
Standing in line to enter the city, looking at the towering city walls, the bustling crowd weaving through, and the lively scene inside the city, a flicker of confusion passed through her curious eyes.
In this unfamiliar Cloud-piercing City, as a small cultivator who had just broken through to the Enlightenment Realm not long ago, finding her footing was indeed extremely difficult.
But soon, a spark of determined resolve flashed in her eyes, and she murmured to herself to encourage herself: "Qiu Yuepiao, you can do it. You will surely find your footing here and continue to grow Kunlun Pavilion."
Then, she followed the flow of people and stepped into Cloud-piercing City, officially embarking on a journey with unknown paths and undetermined outcomes.
...
It took Bai Ziyue three days to finally handle most of the many gains on him.
Aside from some alchemy spiritual materials which he retained for himself, he resold most of the items, which finally increased the number of low-grade Spirit Stones he owned to fifty million.
Finally, he wasn’t poor anymore.
However, he spent eight million of these fifty million low-grade Spirit Stones at a blink of an eye, buying some Primordial Magnet Divine Stones and some spiritual objects containing Innate Five Elements Qi.
Among the three Great Divine Techniques, although the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting currently had the highest progress, due to the scarcity of the power of primordial magnetism between heaven and earth, its progress was actually slower.
If he practiced in a step-by-step manner, he estimated it would take at least another month before he could truly reach Entry Level.
He naturally did not want to wait.
The same applied to the Five Emperors Divine Robe and Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword.
With external assistance, it was of course faster to advance to Entry Level.
He was eagerly looking forward to the power of these Great Divine Techniques after reaching Entry Level.
After paying another sum of Spirit Stones to renew the lease, Bai Ziyue once again went into seclusion, continuously absorbing the power of primordial magnetism and Innate Five Elements Qi to cultivate several Great Divine Techniques.
One day, two days, three days...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
"The difficulty of cultivating Great Divine Techniques is indeed several times more than ordinary Divine Techniques."
Bai Ziyue sighed, his gaze falling involuntarily on the Attribute Panel.
All three Great Divine Techniques were at 99% of the Uninitiated stage, leaving him somewhat helpless.
"It seems that only through battle or other opportunities could I truly bring these three Great Divine Techniques to Entry Level.
Well, now that I’ve acquired a Four-star Divine Order, it’s time I make my way to the Nine-star Daoist Palace to take on some tasks.
It’d also be good to quickly raise the Star Order level."
Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but feel expectant.
Not only because completing tasks would gain corresponding rewards, but also because the Star Order level actually determined one’s treasury access rights in the Nine-star Daoist Palace.
The higher the Star Order level, the greater the access rights.
The higher the chance of exchanging valuable treasures from the Nine-star Daoist Palace.
Currently, he only had a Four-star Divine Order. The best treasures he could exchange were at most Top-grade Dharma Treasure Level. Although there were many cultivation technique manuals, Treasures of Heaven and Earth, various spirit pills, and talismans... Such things were not difficult to obtain given his status, so he did not value them highly.
He was more eager about the treasures he could acquire with a Nine-star Divine Order.
It was said that there were exotic treasures among them that could help Peak Divine Realm Cultivators achieve Core Formation with unparalleled power, as well as many Treasures of Heaven and Earth that even the Qingxu Sect couldn’t access.
Naturally, it tempted him as well.
