"Elder Yu, what are you doing?"
Yun Liao couldn’t help but laugh.
"Just testing this brick." He’s seen all sorts of celestial materials, but none like this.
It looks like a bluestone slab, but it’s not.
If it were a bluestone slab, with just two steps, it would definitely shatter into countless pieces.
Yun Liao shook his head helplessly, "Let’s go, follow ."
"Elder Yun, you go ahead... having experienced life and death, I have a lot to reflect on, and I want to quietly digest it."
"Alright then."
Since Yu Jiang wasn’t interested in watching dramas, he wouldn’t insist.
...
anwhile, Wen Ping watched everyone enter the Viewing Room and then went alone to dicine Mountain.
He wanted to check on his Immortal Tree—said to provide ten tis the Divine Wood’s Wood Qi upon maturity.
Upon reaching dicine Mountain, he found Red-eyed Giant Ape, Hei Ze, and Ling Yun gathered around a small mound of earth.
Around them were 19 identical mounds.
At the top of these mounds, two inconspicuous sprouts could be seen erging from the soil. What drew Wen Ping’s attention was their visible speed of unfolding leaves and continuous upward growth. Such growth speed was daunting to behold.
"Sect Leader!"
Hearing footsteps, the three quickly turned around.
"Return to Yunlan Mountain." Wen Ping needed quiet to operate the Changmo Technique here.
"Yes..."
The three nodded and left promptly.
Once they had gone, Wen Ping began to operate the Changmo Technique, which had been restless since he arrived at dicine Mountain. As soon as he started, he could feel the power within him involuntarily practice with the saplings of the Immortal Tree—entirely unlike the comfortable Wood Qi provided by the Jianmu, this Wood Qi entered his body.
This Wood Qi carried an aura of immortality.
Wen Ping seemingly saw a sea, an island, and the eternally immortal tree on the island!
That sea, calm and vast.
That island, lonely and still.
That tree, towering and eternal.
"It certainly lives up to the na ’Immortal Sect’." Feeling this aura of immortality, Wen Ping thought of the words "Immortal Sect".
The immortal tree was planted here.
This truly gave the Immortal Sect sothing immortal in essence.
Just then, a voice suddenly ca to his ear.
"Host, consider this a friendly reminder: there’s only three days left. You might want to hasten the opening of your ridians to enter this world’s so-called Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm, as you’re going to a place of dragons and tigers. Perhaps, once you’ve opened the ridians to the Gathering Spirit ridian Gate, you’ll be much safer in completing your mission."
"It’s the first ti you’ve reminded to enhance my power!"
"Considering the influence of the Hundred Sects Alliance on this journey, the system chose to remind you kindly to avoid changing a host if possible."
"That’s true, the first mission of this journey is heading to the Thousand chanism Lake. Thousand chanism Lake is the real headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance. Taking disciples there to challenge them is indeed dangerous... But, it’s easy for you to say. The Jianmu Forest can’t possibly let open my ridians in three days. As for these twenty Immortal Trees, they just sprouted, and it’s even less possible."
"The host seems to have forgotten the original use of White Crystal in this world."
"No... I’m not that extravagant."
In this world, White Crystal serves as both currency and essential for cultivation.
Why would noble families seize White Crystal Ore?
It’s all for acquiring cultivation resources—White Crystal.
If the system hadn’t forbidden owning vassals, including White Crystal Ore, he would have set his eyes on occupying East Lake’s White Crystal Ore long ago.
Though the yield isn’t high, he believes it could eventually produce a thousand or two thousand White Crystals.
Hearing Wen Ping’s words, the system responded blandly, "The decision lies with you, but in the event of an accident, I can simply find another host."
"I..."
Wen Ping was speechless.
The thought of cultivating using White Crystals pained him!
This was hard-earned money!
Others brought it to him bit by bit!
But the system’s first reminder to increase his power unnerved him.
Perhaps Thousand chanism Lake is more dangerous than he imagined.
Forget it!
He’d be extravagant just once.
After all, there’s still over a thousand White Crystals.
Opening a ridian won’t use them all up.
Once decided, Wen Ping turned and headed to Tingyu Pavilion. After closing the door, he took out 200 White Crystals and spread them on the ground.
Gazing at the pile of White Crystals around him, Wen Ping quickly operated the Changmo Technique.
"In the end, I’ve taken this step..." The thought of hundreds of White Crystals vanishing pained his heart.
Based on the sect’s current inco, hundreds of White Crystals would take a month to earn.
Though it seed profitable now with the Viewing Room.
Popcorn.
Colas.
They all could earn plenty of White Crystals.
But after all, there weren’t many extravagant people in the Immortal Sect.
The next mont, Changmo Technique started consuming forcefully.
Around Wen Ping, it seed like a black hole ford, and the milky-white energy from the White Crystals poured into his body.
As it entered his body, this energy was imdiately converted by Changmo Technique, purified, and transford into purer energy rushing toward Wen Ping’s chest—where the Gathering Spirit ridian Gate was located.
Through these days, Wen Ping had actually opened so of his ridians.
As soon as the energy from the White Crystals entered, "this path" began to extend again.
This efficiency was much faster than absorbing Wood Qi.
However, in just a short ti, less than half a quarter-hour, the progress abruptly halted.
Wen Ping was stunned. Opening his eyes, he saw the milky-white White Crystals around him had turned transparent. Wen Ping knew clearly what this ant. It ant the energy within these White Crystals had been completely drained by him.
Helplessly, Wen Ping had to take out another 500 White Crystals.
Bearing the pain in his heart, Wen Ping continued to operate Changmo Technique, absorbing energy from the White Crystals.
The rapid ridian-opening process began again.
This ti, the high-efficiency process lasted a quarter-hour.
After a quarter-hour, Wen Ping opened his eyes and felt the ridian that was only half opened.
He was stunned!
"Why am I wasting White Crystals like this?"
"System, wasn’t cultivating Changmo Technique supposed to have no barrier?"
The system explained, "Indeed, the host has no barrier. But Mountain Suppression Realm is unlike Divine Profound Realm. Reaching Upper Realm ans entering the next realm directly. Since the host’s Changmo Technique is an Earth Level Technique, it brings the host imnse power, which requires more energy for realm advancent. Generally, a Divine Profound Upper Realm requires 500 White Crystals to open ridians and another 1000 to have a chance to break through to Mountain Suppression Realm. Innate Anomaly Vein in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression requires twice as many White Crystals. The host possesses two Innate Anomaly Veins and has an Earth Level Technique, which naturally requires more."
"My ridians are already half-opened with Wood Qi. I’ve spent 700 White Crystals, yet only increased by a quarter. Doesn’t that an I have to spend another 700?"
Spending White Crystals like this would leave the Storage Ring empty.
He had planned to use these days’ journey to enhance two sect buildings.
When he returned from the journey, he would just sit back and wait for results.
Now it seems...
The plan isn’t feasible.
