Chapter 93 Only Endless Victory (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  (It's a new week again, hope brothers and sisters can give some firepower support and rush the weekly chart. Thank you everyone)

  ……

  Once the cultivation is elevated, the strength will naturally surge. Leidong thought to himself that with his current strength, if he were at the same level as the peak of the 12th layer of the Qi Refining stage, controlling two or three high-quality Ghost Guards wouldn't be impossible, and he might even be a match for the Yin and Yang duo. As soon as he mentioned the Ghost Guards, Leidong thought of his own Spectral Ghost Soldier. After devouring the left arm of the Holy Demon, it had only taken one day for it to transform into a Ghost Cocoon in the Soul Nurturing Tower. He believed that before long, he would be able to harvest his first high-quality Ghost Guard. This was an unexpected surprise.

  Although it's not difficult for top-grade ghost soldiers to be promoted to ghost guards, it's not easy to promote them by simply feeding them a little blood and flesh. According to Leidong's estimation, if you purely buy the blood and flesh of demon beasts, wild ghost soldiers and the like, you'll probably need to spend at least tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to upgrade one. As for letting mid-grade ghost soldiers be promoted to ghost guards, the cost will be even more enormous.

  As a result, although the Oni's Trick is good to play with and has an advantage among same-level cultivators, the problem lies in that raising ghosts is like having a bottomless pit that can't be filled no matter how many spirit stones are spent. Another big expense is the Soul-Devouring Shadow Tiger Cub, which likes to eat powerful ghost soldiers and living spirits. Going out to collect them for it to eat is another huge expenditure. The tiger cub will also eat ordinary low-level ghosts, but its growth is too slow.

  Lei Dong was currently lacking in spirit stones to buy elixirs for cultivation. If he didn't buy those extremely expensive elixirs, his cultivation would be too slow, and he wouldn't have the chance to catch up with DIng Shi Jie in this lifetime. Although he still had some contribution points, 30,000 sounded like a lot. But Lei Dong doubted that after deducting the cost of repairing his damaged magic tools, the remaining 26,000+ contribution points would be enough to buy elixirs and push himself to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining stage.

  In short, Leidong Si thought about it and felt that as long as he could get the Ling Stone, everything would be easy to say. Spending a bit more Ling Stone to get some good medicine back would allow him to quickly improve his cultivation.

  Lei Dong thought to himself, he needed to get more Ling Stones, and there were only a few ways to do it. Firstly, he could sell some of his Ling Ghosts, but at most, he only dared to sell mid-grade ones, which would fetch over a thousand each, and he didn't dare to sell too many, lest he attract trouble and get himself killed, which wouldn't be worth it. Secondly, like the other disciples, he could diligently complete some sect tasks, and if he was lucky, he might even pick up some Ling Grass or treasures along the way.

  Thirdly, it's not bad to take advantage of Wan Gui Lao Zu's idea. After all, he said that he would protect himself until the foundation period. How about taking the spiritual stones cultivated before the foundation period for himself? Anyway, listening to Yan Mo's tone, Lao Zu should also have participated in the gambling, and if he won Baili Yun, he would definitely let him make a big profit. Just leaking a little from his fingers is enough to cultivate himself to the foundation period with plenty to spare.

  Fourth, it's going out of the Yin evil sect's range, hunting carefully. This isn't hunting monsters, but people. Robbing on the way out will inevitably lead to all sorts of unexpected events, and it's not very safe.

  Lei Dong thought about it, and still felt that he should go find Lao Zu to flatter him and get some spiritual stones. If successful, it would once and for all solve the problem of spiritual stones before the foundation period. Even if not successful, there would be no loss for himself.

  Talk is cheap.

  But soon, Lei Dong was struck. Gui Nu blocked the way and said that Lao Zu had gone out to collect debts. When Lei Dong asked again when he would return, Gui Nu treated Lei Dong as if he were one of his own and revealed the truth, saying that this time Lao Zu had won a lot of Ling stones. Leaving the Ling stones in the Wan Gui Cave was not a good idea either. So, after collecting the debts, they planned to go out with Yan Mo You Ming to find some top-grade medicine suitable for Jindan period cultivators or powerful magical artifacts. However, when they would return, there was no bottom line, as the time concept of Jindan cultivators was completely different from that of low-ranking disciples. Even if they said they would go out and come back, it might take three to five years.

  This time, the new disciples who entered the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves were all handed over to Gui Nu and several Foundation Establishment stage senior brothers to take care of.

  Guī nú yòu shì pāi zhe léi dòng jiān bèi shuō le, zhè cì nǐ lì le dà gōng, lǎo zǔ hěn kāi xīn. Shuō shì chū qù táo bǎo bèi shí, ruò shì yǒu shì hé nǐ yòng de hǎo dōng xi, huì sāng shàng yī liǎng jiàn de.

  Lei Dong was so frustrated that he couldn't help but laugh and cry. It's a good thing to prepare things for himself, of course. But the Jindan period cultivator going out, with a time limit of three to five years, made him feel dizzy. Three to five years? Can it be that he won't cultivate and wait until after three to five years to come back and ask Lao Zu for spiritual stones? By then, even the yellow flowers would have wilted...

  He secretly buried it. When the old man went out, why didn't he leave some spiritual stones for himself? Even if he just left a few high-quality spiritual stones, that would be good too?

  Lei Dong has already figured it out, and for now, he can only rely on himself. He couldn't possibly ask Shifu's sister to prepare the Ling Stone with a thick face, could he?

  Estimated that, according to his own contribution points won in the big comparison, excluding the part of the repair instrument. If all are exchanged for elixirs, it is a bit difficult to quickly advance to the ninth layer within one or two years. Moreover, from the eighth layer to the ninth layer, that is the threshold for entering the middle stage of alchemy into the late stage of alchemy, and it is easy to encounter bottlenecks. One Earth Spirit Elixir would be enough to consume these 20,000 or so contribution points.

  In addition, there were also spoils of war that Zuo Chao had sold off, but the majority of them were damaged and not worth much. What was even more annoying was that Bai Yun's good-for-nothing son had probably squandered all his assets, leaving the storage belt empty. Not to mention high-quality flight artifacts, there weren't even any low-quality ones left. In the end, Lei Dong could only divide up a few thousand spirit stones at most.

  It's better to go out and accumulate more resources first, at least until you have enough resources for the tenth layer of Qi Refining, before closing up and cultivating in peace.

  The sect's mission, it is said that some of the more difficult missions have decent rewards. Lei Dong specially went to check out the tasks suitable for his cultivation level and browsed through them one by one. After looking at about a dozen or so, his brow furrowed into a knot. It wasn't that these tasks were too difficult, but rather, even if he took on some of the more challenging ones suitable for a mid-stage Qi Refining disciple to complete alone, the final reward would only be around several tens of spirit stones, while the process would take up several days' time. As for those with lower difficulty, they could only earn around ten or twenty spirit stones.

  It's clear that these mid-term cultivation sect tasks are no longer suitable for oneself.

  It's time to check the late-stage tasks of refining Qi again. The late-stage tasks have a greatly increased value. Even the worst ones can bring in dozens of spiritual income. The extremely difficult ones can ultimately yield 3,000 contributions. However, that task is one that hopes disciples without the strength of twelve layers of refined Qi do not attempt.

  Frowning and pondering, if it were an ordinary 12th-layer Qi Refining disciple, he would still be able to handle it. From this, the task is completely doable with his current strength. The problem lies in that even if he completes the task smoothly, it's only worth three thousand contributions. How much time and effort will it take to accumulate enough resources to reach the 10th layer of Qi Refining?

  Is it really necessary for me to personally attempt the task of advancing to the first layer of the Foundation Establishment stage?

  However, this is not an impossible task. The ghost guard seems to be promoting the ghost soldier. Even if it's just a first-level ghost guard, it's almost equivalent to a normal foundation-building cultivator. Plus the other two top-grade ghost soldiers and the treasure of the Annihilation Dharmachakra in hand, it shouldn't be difficult to complete the task ahead of schedule.

  With a thought in mind, Lei Dong began to look for tasks suitable for a first-layer cultivator to complete during the foundation-building period.

  If it's said that the task of the Qi Refining stage is for new disciples to accumulate some experience, get familiar with things, cultivate a sense of contribution, and have a channel to gain contributions. Most of them don't have too much danger. However, once you reach the Foundation Building stage, the sect will officially treat you as a serious person. The tasks set are truly what the sect needs you to complete. The difficulty and purpose are different, and the gains are naturally different.

  I looked at six or seven tasks in a row, the lowest was 5,000 contribution points, and the highest reached 10,000. This kind of reward is not bad, if you have the ability to complete ten or so tasks of this level, even if there aren't many spoils of war, at least the resources needed to reach the tenth layer of Qi Refining would be enough. Lei Dong's cultivation isn't much better than that of an ordinary disciple, but in terms of actual combat strength, he is exceptionally powerful.

  How to convert combat power into cultivation speed is also the only way to keep winning.
