It felt as if his heart skipped a beat.
When his heart resud beating, he had already gone from standing to lying down.
He lay upon the Spirit Vein covered with Spirit Stones, his eyes lifelessly gazing at the ceiling of the cave wall, resembling a star-laden sky.
It was densely packed with Spirit Stones.
There were both Mid-grade Spirit Stones and Low-grade Spirit Stones.
But... what’s the use of that?
All the beauty of the world, just like these Spirit Stones, will soon no longer belong to him.
Ji Yuan regretted now, wondering why he couldn’t recall this matter earlier.
If he had rembered earlier, he would have spent all these Spirit Stones, even if it ant exchanging them all for Spiritual Artifacts, it would have been fine.
In the end, leaving a few Low-grade Spirit Stones as his entire fortune, to use to open the Grotto Heaven.
After opening it, he could sell the Spiritual Artifacts.
Even if he lost money, it wouldn’t be too much.
But on second thought, it would still be impossible. Even if there were so many Spirit Stones on his panel, any trickery would be useless.
But the problem is... damn, there are just too many!!!
He had worked hard for decades, saving like a hamster, and now his so-called fortune was about to be entirely swallowed in one go, how could this happen!
After lying there for a long ti, Ji Yuan finally uttered a single sentence.
"Actually, I still have to thank you, Mr. Panel. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know how many Spirit Stones I had, down to the last Broken Spirit. Thank you, I do an it."
Ji Yuan was helpless, for this was sothing that couldn’t be negotiated in the first place.
Not to ntion that a Lifebound Magical Treasure is the most crucial item in a Magic Cultivator’s journey.
And even if it wasn’t, just a Golden Core Stage Core Building would be worth his full investnt.
So what was there to hesitate about?
With a thought, it began.
All the Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag.
The Spirit Stones within the Spirit Vein, those he lay upon as a mattress, and the Spirit Stones embedded above him like stars.
Even the few Mid-grade Spirit Stones he kept in his room as decorations all vanished into thin air.
"No, no, my Spirit Stones!!!"
Ji Yuan hurriedly reached out and grabbed a Spirit Stone from the stone wall beside him, holding it in his palm, but even so, he couldn’t keep any of it.
The Spirit Stone disappeared from his hand, not even leaving behind any dust.
With a single thought, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones vanished.
Ji Yuan felt he had never fought such a wealthy battle.
And it was just after that thought that Ji Yuan was completely broke.
He could no longer produce a single Spirit Stone.
Not even a Broken Spirit.
But the result... he closed his eyes and focused, turning his gaze to the construction panel.
With enough Spirit Stones given, the previously indistinct Grotto Heaven finally manifested completely.
His mind tapped open this core construction.
[Grotto Heaven (Lifebound Magical Treasure): Level 1 (Unupgradable)]
[Spirit Effect 1: Once the Grotto Heaven is activated, it can ultimately suppress the Three Realms. Level 1 Grotto Heaven’s power can match a Golden Core Treasure. Note: The more buildings it accommodates, the greater the power.]
[Spirit Effect 2: By absorbing Void Nether Stone, it can accommodate buildings. The more Void Nether Stone absorbed, the more buildings it can hold. Note: The Cave Mansion and Grotto Heaven can integrate without needing Void Nether Stone, yet still can accommodate.]
[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stone × 30000. (Unupgradable)]
Is it simple?
Actually, it’s not very simple anymore.
Even just a Level 1 building can have two Spirit Effects, and both seem extraordinary.
With Spirit Effect 1, just the description of the first sentence indicates the seriousness of the situation.
"Once the Grotto Heaven is activated, it can ultimately suppress the Three Realms."
What level of Grotto Heaven must that be?
At that ti, once the Grotto Heaven is released, it might be akin to a Celestial Court, right?
Or perhaps a Divine Court?
Ji Yuan did not know.
But as for the next Spirit Effect 2... it can accommodate all buildings within this Grotto Heaven, but it requires the consumption of Void Nether Stone.
This Void Nether Stone... Ji Yuan was aware, because upgrading the Cave Mansion to Level 4 also required this material.
But this stuff is very scarce.
Because it inherently contains spatial properties, it’s used for refining so high-level Storage Bags and crafting Magical Treasures and such.
They all require this Void Nether Stone.
Just upgrading the Cave Mansion requires ten pounds of Void Nether Stone, and Ji Yuan doesn’t know where to find it.
Now crafting a Lifebound Magical Treasure also requires this Void Nether Stone...
Ji Yuan recalled a previous casual chat with Li Changhe, where he inquired about the Void Nether Stone from the eldest son of Li Family.
Li Changhe also said that Void Nether Stone is extrely scarce, and that in all of Shang Dong, there is actually only one Void Nether Stone mine, and it’s on Shang Mountain, occupied by the largest Immortal Sect "Sword Ruins" of Shang Dong.
Upon this thought, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
’It seems my previous thoughts were right, relying solely on the resources within the Cangluo Continent can’t sustain for too long. Not to ntion other things, just for the sake of building upgrades, I must venture into other continents.’
This brought Ji Yuan’s thoughts back to the Sea Map in his possession, with it he could venture to the Jiyuan Continent in the east.
Additionally, the south’s Desolate Ancient Continent could also be an option.
As for which direction to choose, that would have to be decided later. The imdiate priority is still to upgrade the Grotto Heaven first.
Would upgrading it an that even during my Foundation Establishnt Stage, I’d have a Lifebound Magical Treasure?
That would an I finally have a real trump card, right?
And as the senior brothers and sisters say, Lifebound Magical Treasures are the most intuitive and effective to use.
