Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 985 - 69: The Mighty System

Bai Yecheng looked at the jade pendant in front of him, feeling a bit of anguish. He had originally "picked up a bargain" with this jade pendant in the black market. The original owner of the jade pendant was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from a fringe sect who did not recognize its true value.

In reality, this precious jade was indeed an alien treasure, naturally formed, cleansing the heart and purifying the spirit, capable of dispelling heart demons and resisting outer demons.

However, for him, this precious jade was somewhat unsuitable.

Half a month ago, he chose Thunder Demon Generalization True Technique as his main cultivation method.

The Thunder Demon Generalization True Technique is a Thunder Law outline, but it is not an orthodox method. It emphasizes burning the heart's fire with inner demons and sacrificing the heart's thunder with the heart's fire, not suppressing the thunder's fury but rather endorsing passionate nature, integrating inner fierceness into Thunder Law.

However, although the Thunder Demon Generalization True Technique advocates the fury of thunder, it requires controlling the flame of anger firmly, so that it is not swayed by anger. The inner thunder not only does not become a heart demon, but can also extinguish heart demons and resist outer demons.

This jade pendant conflicts somewhat with Bai Yecheng's current cultivation method.

But fortunately, there is the "system."

With the system, he can handle some things without anyone knowing.

Bai Yecheng placed the jade pendant on the table and then shouted, "Identify!"

His palm opened, and a spirit light appeared that only he could see [it's essentially a personal effect, as if he's wearing AR glasses unknowingly.] The mysterious power of the system slightly flowed in his palm, then a dialog box popped up in his eyes.

"Jade pendant made from Superior Heart-Cleansing Jade, Heavy Artifact Level rare item. Originally, Superior Heart-Cleansing Jade is a wondrous item favored by nature's spiritual energy, capable of refining Treasure Artifact level items. But this jade pendant is not properly refined, unable to utilize the full potential of the raw material. It can be used as raw material for further refining, or exchanged for 'wealth resources.'

"If used as raw material, an additional 3000 wealth resources are needed to transform into a Treasure Artifact."

"This item's value is 750 wealth resources."

——Crooked merchant!

Hearing this appraisal result, Bai Yecheng couldn't help but curse.

Treasure Artifacts are typically used by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Golden Core Stage cultivators obtaining a Treasure Artifact is akin to having nearly invincible capital in a certain aspect.

Of course, ordinary cultivators typically don't have such capital.

He was originally quite prosperous among the Luochen Sword Palace cultivators. But after exchanging all temporarily unused and outdated Magic Artifacts, he only obtained 670 "wealth resources."

The so-called "wealth resources" is the "currency unit" given by the mysterious "system," derived from the "wealth, companions, method, dwelling" meaning of "wealth."

According to Bai Yecheng's estimation, one "wealth resource" is approximately equivalent to ten Low Grade Spirit Stones.

In reality, the function of this thing is also limited, merely reducing heart demons. The higher the cultivation, the more formidable the heart demons. This jade pendant doesn't hold much significance for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. According to Bai Yecheng's own valuation, 750 wealth resources is very reasonable.

Moreover, wealth resources differ from Spirit Stones. On Spirit Phoenix Island, resources are scarce, making everything difficult to buy. However, wealth resources are different. With wealth resources, you can exchange for whatever you want.

Everything is available within the system.

Cultivation Techniques, Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, everything is possible. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Theoretically, one wealth resource can be exchanged for ten Low Grade Spirit Stones. But if a black market opened in Spirit Phoenix Island where wealth resources could be exchanged for Spirit Stones, even twenty Low Grade Spirit Stones might not necessarily exchange for one wealth resource.

The items within the system are incredibly abundant.

Yet, despite this, hearing that something that could become a Treasure Artifact is only priced at 700 wealth resources, he was still a bit dissatisfied.

Thinking of the cultivation technique in his mind and the slightly shabby Low Grade Heavy Artifact long sword in his hand, Bai Yecheng shook his head, gritting his teeth and said, "I want to exchange!"

A spirit light flashed, and the jade pendant disappeared. Then, Bai Yecheng observed that his "account balance" suddenly jumped from 365 to 1115.

He opened the mall interface once more, selecting, "I want to exchange for an auxiliary cultivation method, 'Void Fishing Qi Skill'!"

Void Fishing Qi Skill is an auxiliary cultivation method from Luofu Xuanqing Palace, capable of slowly strengthening the practitioner's mana "resilience" while stabilizing the foundation. Additionally, it can slightly accelerate the refining speed of nature's spiritual energy.

It does not belong to a cultivation foundation but is a method of cultivation, similar to 'running for fitness,' and can be paired with any cultivation method.

"Void Fishing Qi Skill, auxiliary method, can stabilize foundation, strengthen mana, accelerate practitioner's refining of nature's spiritual energy, compatible with any cultivation method, suitable for Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, worth 500 wealth resources. Exchange?"

"Yes!"

Bai Yecheng fiercely nodded, then the mysterious light illuminated [still just augmented reality effects]. A spell was injected into his sea of consciousness.

Bai Yecheng closed his eyes, experienced the cultivation technique, then marveled, "Luofu Xuanqing Palace indeed is the foremost sect of the Immortal Dao ten thousand years ago!"

Wang Qi beside him has Zhen Chan, this Ancient Method Technique Encyclopedia, as well as a fragment of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List. What Ancient Method Cultivation Method can't be found? Moreover, now the Luochen Sword Palace's Library Pavilion is at his disposal. For ordinary cultivators, the "mall" truly has everything.

Of course, these things were all buried within Wang Qi's "backdoor."

Ever since the emergence of the Dataized Cultivation Method and the Wanxiang Diagram, leaving a "backdoor" in a cultivation technique has become very cheap.

Bai Yecheng sought to exchange not just this cultivation method.

Bai Yecheng took out his long sword and brought out numerous precious materials: "I apply to upgrade my long sword!"

He is a Sword Cultivator. Sword Cultivators place great importance on their swords.

Although he hasn't decided whether or not to turn this long sword into his Lifebound Magical Treasure, he wouldn't easily replace a sword he's used for a long time.

A flash of alien treasure white light passed, and the sword hilt disappeared.

Then, on the factory interface of the exchange system, a sundial-like countdown appeared.

[Large Artifact Refining, Countdown...]

...

Wang Qi felt a small portion of his mana suddenly diminish. However, he didn't mind.

Wang Qi can run mana like software. Or in other words, his mana comes with operating software. As long as he outputs mana, he can control any Magic Artifact with logical calculators.

The reverse is also true, a calculator with sufficient processing capacity can use his mana.

Right now, Wang Qi has opened up a part of his mana, allowing Jarvis to operate and use it.

And the manipulation of warped space and moving objects is naturally completed under Jarvis's control.

Of course, the Tai Chu Sword God Array also lends power here.

As early as the battle in the Divine Capital two years ago, Wang Qi could rely on the great power of the Human Dao System to warp space and disperse crowds within a city. Now with the assistance of the Tai Chu Sword God Array and the "Curved Sky Ruler," a marvelous cultivation technique completely abandoning electromagnetic interactions and specialized in gravity, moving some small objects is not a problem.

Wang Qi naturally does not have the energy to manage system operations, so any exchanges are handed over to Jarvis.

The method of warping space used by Wang Qi is naturally not very discreet. But for Ancient Method Practitioners, anyone who can dabble in "spacetime" must be a high-order cultivator. Only high-order cultivators can detect what is truly happening within Luochen Sword Palace. However, all the high-order cultivators inside Luochen Sword Palace have been subdued by Wang Qi, so who could expose Wang Qi's tricks?

Wang Qi picked up the jade pendant that the person just exchanged and scrutinized it: "This thing isn't bad, it's somewhat useful." Then, with a casual kick, he sent Bai Yecheng's materials and long sword along a high-dimensional trajectory, kicking them into the Artifact Refining Room in Luochen Sword Palace.

At this moment, three Nascent Soul Cultivators inside the Artifact Refining Room were cultivating. When a pile of items suddenly dropped onto the ground, they all knew that work had come again.

The three exchanged wooden glances: "Upgrade the long sword, completed within four hours... Whose turn is it this time?"

"I suppose... it's my turn..." One cultivator, with a look of pain and reluctance, picked up the pile of materials.

For Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, upgrading a Heavy Artifact used by Golden Core Cultivators isn't difficult. However, the four-hour time limit is too stringent. They don't even have time to properly design a plan.

This leads to a certain failure rate in artifact refining.

And Wang Qi, to ensure the mysteriousness and authority of the "system," has set rules for them. Whoever fails in refining must compensate for materials and Magical Artifacts.

Once or twice, they can afford to compensate. But recently, Wang Qi has developed some "system users" within Luochen Sword Palace, if each "user" goes through this once or twice for an upgrade, they will feel the pain and their heart power will be exhausted.

Sometimes, they are even forced to find some mana identical to "users" requirements from their own collection — even if it's a loss on materials.

Anyway, without seeing the re-refining process, they don't understand artifact refining, those Golden Core Cultivators haven't suspected anything.

Similarly, the Pill Masters in Luochen Sword Palace aren't faring well either.

Compared to refining artifacts, the failure rate of alchemy is higher.

The demand for elixir among "system users" is even greater — this involves the Holy Emperor Venerable's Parasitic Gods method. Those "users" perceive changes happening in their bodies. However, they all believe that the increased demand for elixir is the "system" helping improve their physique or solidify their foundation!

Now, every Pill Master in Luochen Sword Palace has wasted a lot of medicinal materials.

And the investment from Wang Qi makes those "users" have more faith in the "system."

— An individual who can achieve a 100% success rate in refining artifacts and alchemy!

— Does such great power have any need to plot against us?

— Even if the great power behind the "system" is plotting against us, the benefits we gain are greater in return!

This is probably the view of those Luochen Sword Palace disciples.

Simply put, any community system capable of close cooperation can accomplish tasks that only great power can accomplish, given sufficient resources.
