Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 727: Can the pioneer thing be called pulling? [7.5k words]

"puff!!!"

Almost at the moment when she saw clearly the items refreshed in the Platinum Honor Store, Xin Lailai, who was drinking the warm tea handed to her by Ling Yuzi to relax, suddenly spat out a mouthful of water mist, widened her eyes, and looked at the items displayed on the screen in disbelief.

No? What the hell did he see? Soul Secret Art: Heart Flame? And the Heavenly Heart Flame Seed that can be obtained in one go? ! !

"Fuck, the park is awesome!!!"

The next second, an almost broken voice of praise was heard, and Xin Lailai impatiently selected all the items on the store interface, and then exchanged them all without blinking.

[Reminder: Exchange completed, 10 platinum medals of honor have been paid, and the following items have been obtained]

……

Soul Crystal Secret Box (complete) *1
Honor Recovery Potion (Level 1)*
Honor Recovery Potion (Level 1)*
Starry Sky Teardrop (Special)*1
Soul Secret Art: Heart Flame*1
Heart of Heaven Flame Seed (Epic)*1
……

The prompt sounded, and Xin Lailai looked at the extra items in the storage space, and her eyes suddenly became hot.

No wonder he was so excited, mainly because the things the park arranged in the honor store this time really met his current needs.

"In this way, the secret method in the manuscript can finally come in handy."

Xin Lailai looked at her storage space, her gaze moved to one of the items, and looked at the information displayed on it, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

【Devil's sickle training notes】

Category: Knowledge
Quality: Special

Introduction: Notes on the magic sickle "Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual", which can be viewed and studied by yourself. This secret method was created by the "Soul Refining Magic Scythe·Xuluo·Tisca", and can only be used with a strange flame with at least one will or soul characteristic.

Price: 100 park points
……

The training notes of the Demon Scythe.

This notebook was naturally the handwritten copy that Yuan, who was once the most powerful person, had given to them. What was recorded on it was a special secret method called the "Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual."

According to the description in the notes, this ritual called Burning Soul and Refining Mind can improve one's mental strength, mental toughness and other mental-related attributes with extremely high efficiency, and this is exactly what they urgently need.

In fact, although they have obtained several opportunities related to the strength of their mental power along the way, and have always maintained the habit of meditation, due to their rapid improvement speed, the strength of their mental power has actually been unable to keep up with their needs.

This can be understood by looking at their spell releases. Although they are also in the outer echelon, Sanshui Renyun, who is a formal member of the Lailai Cult like them, was able to release fifth-level large-scale magic after just completing one world progress and one expedition progress at the third level.

On the contrary, they are only two worlds away from the fourth-level assessment, but are still some distance away from releasing the fifth-level large-scale magic.

Although one of the reasons is that their knowledge accumulation cannot keep up with their promotion speed, the fact is, with their current mental strength, unless they are in the state of elf fusion, it is almost impossible for them to release fifth-level large-scale magic alone even if they meet the knowledge requirements.

However, this is based on the standards of the outer-level team. In fact, judging from the overall level of wizards of the same level, thanks to the black maple tea leaves and their deep meditation state, their mental strength has almost always been at the forefront of the same level. This is also an important reason why they can easily release various large-scale magic across levels.

The problem is, what they need is not just to stay at the forefront, but to at least reach the level of Sanshui Renyun in the God Eater world... that is, the pinnacle or even the extreme level among the same level. Otherwise, once they face an opponent who is truly focused on the spiritual realm, the strength of their mental power will inevitably become their most fatal flaw.

In order to solve this problem, Xin Lailai had naturally thought of some ways in the past, but in the end he got nothing.

Although there are various skills and potions in the paradise that can enhance the strength of mental strength, those things are almost only useful for mages in the top echelon.

For people like them who have already pushed their mental strength to the brink of the outer-level tier through deep meditation and black maple tea, if they want to continue to enhance their mental strength at this level, they can basically only rely on the secret methods in the top-level inheritance.

This was why Xin Lailai was so excited when he saw the Heavenly Heart Flame Seed and the Heart Flame Secret Art. After returning to Paradise from the Dead Sea ruins, they had actually been asking about the soul-specific flame that could be used to set up the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual. However, this thing was too rare. Even if they occasionally found two with the conditions on forums and databases, they did not meet the requirements for setting up the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual.

In other words, the person who created this ritual never thought about the rarity and difficulty of obtaining the soul characteristic flame, because for the inheritor of the Magic Scythe, the black flame ignited when they inherited the Magic Scythe is actually the most perfect material for the soul burning and heart refining ritual. Only guys like them, whose inheritance is cleaner than their wallets after the upgrade, need to work hard to find the right fire.

But then again, since Yuan had told them the relevant contents of this secret technique, with their vision and experience, they would naturally have considered the problem that they had no inheritance.

In fact, according to the description in the notebook, even if they did not find the right flame at the third or fourth level, as long as they reached the fifth level and increased their soul strength to more than 150 points, they would be able to rely on their own souls and will, and use a small secret method recorded in the notebook to actively ignite a soul flame derived from the characteristics of their own souls.

Although this soul flame ignited by itself cannot be compared with the strange fire produced in various strange environments, it can at least meet the conditions for burning the soul and refining the mind. This is why Xin Lailai did not pay much attention to the notes of this magic sickle before, because in his original expectation, this thing would not be useful until at least the fifth level.

As for now? Now that they have the Heavenly Heart Fire, they definitely don't need to hesitate about this matter anymore. It just so happens that they are also planning to level up in the next world. At that time, they can take this opportunity to work on their shortcomings in spell knowledge while raising their mental strength to the limit level of the third level in one go.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they upgrade the Soul Rune from LV.10 to LV.20. Otherwise, let alone arranging the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual, they won’t be able to pass the Soul Secret Art: Heart Flame.

[Hint: Yes/No, use "Starry Sky Teardrop" on "Magic Book·World+13"? ]

[Tip: Because "Magic Book·World+13" has reached its current quality limit, this use cannot bring any actual improvement to it. It can only allow it to retain its current enhancement level after the quality upgrade.]

"confirm."

[Confirmed, upgrade started, estimated completion time: 24 hours]

A cold prompt sounded, and Xin Lailai confirmed the storage space, then took out the small bottle containing the Starry Sky Tears and poured it on the Book of the World. Then, he opened the title backpack and checked the titles he had obtained this time.

"There are only two four-star titles this time..."

After carefully looking through the titles he had obtained, Xin Lailai locked up the only two four-star titles, "Machine Lord" and "Resource Plunderer", and then locked up the three-star titles "Facing the Darkness" and "Knowing the Pearl with Wisdom". Then he threw the remaining four three-star titles, six two-star titles, and one useless three-star title and four two-star titles that he had not used before into the combustion disc:

[Hint: Yes/No to batch refinement. This refinement round will be 3 times in total, and a total of 45 soul coins will be consumed]

"confirm."

[Prompt: Confirmation completed, refining begins, estimated completion time: 70 seconds]

The prompt sounded, and an extremely short countdown began to appear at the edge of Xin Lailai's sight. Xin Lailai took this opportunity to open the titles that he had locked onto one by one and carefully checked them:

Introduction: Embrace the evolution granted by technology, my people!

……

Different from the previous ones, among the titles obtained in this settlement, only "Facing the Darkness" among the four most valuable titles is a title used for combat and exploration, while the other three titles are extremely special functional titles.

The most special one among them is naturally the title of "Mechanical Lord" that Xin Lailai locked on right from the start. As an extremely rare technological war title, the "Mechanical Lord" is different from the "Hive Lord" of the Evil Moon and the common "War Lord". It can neither provide any special arms or trump card war methods, nor can it bring super powerful frontal combat gains. Instead, it takes an extremely rare, but extremely suitable logistics team route for the machinery and technology side.

Its strength can be said to be perfectly in line with the strength of a four-star title. Combined with the ability of the "Insightful Eyes" title, it can be said that as long as he has this title, when he encounters a war world like Dark Glow Star that requires "using local materials" in the future, he will no longer need to go to so much trouble to set up various methods of screening talents, nor will he have to worry about not being able to train the talents he finds in time.

You know, in this world battle for Dark Glow Star, he actually discovered quite a few good seeds with good potential for mechanical manipulation. However, things on the technological side are different from wars. In wars, as long as you have the talent, you can just rely on your intuition to crush people who have studied hard for ten years. But when it comes to technological production, if you don't have the corresponding knowledge and ability accumulation, no matter how good your talent is, it will be difficult to be of any use immediately.

[Reminder: This batch refining has been completed, and all the titles obtained from the refining have been automatically stored in the title backpack]

70 seconds passed quickly. With two three-star non-characteristic titles and one four-star non-characteristic title in hand, Xin Lailai directly opened the exploration store interface and searched in the title area. Finally...

[Tip: Exploration points*3270 have been paid, and the following items have been obtained]

……

No characteristic title (★★★)*3
No characteristic title (★★★★) *3
……

After getting 6 featureless titles, Xin Lailai glanced at the remaining 5205 exploration points, nodded slightly, closed the exploration shop, then looked at the title refining disc, paid 25 soul coins, and refined the 5 three-star featureless titles on hand into 1 four-star one, then embedded it and the other 4 four-star featureless titles into the sub-title slot, and then placed the "Limit Breaker" that he had prepared long ago in the main slot.

[Hint: Yes/No to carry out this refining. The cost of this refining is 100 soul coins, and the success rate of refining is 100%]

"confirm."

[Prompt: Confirmation completed, refining begins, estimated completion time: 3000 seconds]

A countdown lasting nearly an hour appeared. Seeing this, Xin Lailai moved the burning disc aside and ignored it.

In fact, normally speaking, he could directly use "Title Resin·Sublimation" to promote the "Limit Breaker".

But just like using a non-characteristic title to upgrade "Diligent Scholar" before, the greatest value of "Title Resin·Sublimation" is not the star upgrade, but the ability to improve the title potential. In addition, the process of refining a non-characteristic title can increase the title potential once more. With this kind of stacking, not to mention stacking the title potential of "Limit Breaker" to the limit of 99% at five stars, but at least it will be no problem to exceed 80%.

According to the information Xin Lailai had found, titles like "Limit Breaker" that target attribute barriers would likely undergo a transformation once their potential reached over 80%. They might even have a "temporary attribute gain" mechanism similar to the Royal Set, which would undoubtedly be an extremely significant improvement for them.

This is the power of the title system, or the power of the charm attribute. You should know that many titles in the park can only be obtained through the high title income settlement brought by high charm attributes, and some titles with very unique functions may bring benefits to the contractors that are not inferior to a master-level passive skill that is pulled to the limit.

"Phew, now we can finally start trying that thing, Ling Yuzi!"

"Come on, come on! Lailai, where are you going to start cutting? I promise I can cut it very cleanly!"

After finishing all the tasks at hand, Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi and shouted, and Ling Yuzi ran out of the laboratory with two scalpels in his hands, his eyes shining, and looked at Xin Lailai with an extremely expectant look.

"Well, there's no need to be so excited. Besides, you have to wait until I lie on the operating table before you proceed."

Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi's excited face, sensing the curious thoughts in his mind. He coughed lightly, gave a reminder, put away all his equipment and clothes, came to the laboratory naked, lay down on the operating table, and then with a thought, his soul body broke away from his body and stood steadily on the ground.

"Okay, get ready and start."

"OK!"

Then, Xin Lailai took out two scalpels that were big enough to cut open his body, looked at his own body lying on the operating table, and Ling Yuzi nodded his head with a burning gaze, and quickly drew dividing lines on his body with magic threads, and then...

"Laila, I'm starting~!"

puff!
The sound of flesh being pierced was heard, and Ling Yuzi, wearing white sterilized gloves, blushed as he slashed the blade into the body of Xin Lailai, who was lying on the operating table, from the chest cavity all the way down. Looking at the bright red scene exposed by the pungent smell of blood, his ruby-like eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of confusion, and he was still muttering softly:

"Sure enough, from this angle, Lai Lai's body is really beautiful. It would be nice if I could taste it..."

"Hey, Ling Yuzi, don't forget your business."

"Tsk~ I know! Lai Lai, you're just being stingy! I just wanted to try it for once~ Why are you so stingy!"

With a somewhat unwilling murmur, the girl and Xin Lailai quickly took off one thing after another from his body.

Muscle tissue, liver samples, bones, blood vessels, blood, eyeballs, brains...

A strong smell of blood filled the air. The light of the crystal suture technique continued to fall, maintaining the vitality of the body. In just a few minutes, everything in Xin Lailai's body was sampled, and then...

"Paradise! Treatment! Just deduct the points directly."

After taking her own 'sample', Xin Lailai's soul decisively returned to her body. She endured the unimaginable severe pain and shouted in her mind. The next second -

Om-! !

[Reminder: The treatment is complete. The total cost of this treatment is Paradise Points*608967! ]

The next second, a cold prompt sound rang out, and a familiar healing light fell, quickly repairing Xin Lailai's ripped open body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xin Lailai looked at this scene, and a gleam of incomparable excitement appeared in his eyes.

Become!

Just as he thought, with their current level of body regeneration ability, assisted by crystal suturing, they were able to recover those not-too-serious internal organ and flesh loss through the paradise's paid treatment!
"Haha! Ling Yuzi! Hurry, hurry, keep going! If the plan succeeds, we will soon have an inexhaustible supply of biological alchemical materials!"

"Yeah! Lailai, move aside a little, you're blocking others!"

"Uh...wait, what are you doing..."

"Hey! Lailai, look, there is such a reaction there? It feels better than normal!!"

"Well, don't just play around, there are things to do."

"Rui~! I don't want to hear it~!"

In the laboratory, the two of them were seen bickering with each other, while quickly collecting one "perfect sample" after another from powerful creatures with a full real attribute of up to 90 points from the operating table. The cold treatment prompt sound continued to sound until -

[Warning: It has been detected that the Pioneer has spent 900 million Paradise Points on treatment during this return. According to the Pioneer's current rank, the Pioneer's current treatment limit is 1000 million Paradise Points. If this limit is reached, no paid treatment services will be provided until the next return! ! ! ]

"Uh, wait, there's a fucking limit to this thing?"

After repeating the "sample collection" operation for more than ten times, a light red warning suddenly popped up from the edge of their sight, which made Xin Lailai startled. Ling Yuzi, who was tasting the "Lailai version of barbecue", was also stunned, with a look of great regret in his eyes, and muttered:

"What a pity! Now there won't be an unlimited supply of Lai Lai to eat?"

"..."

"…Forget it, Ling Yuzi, just be happy. Remember, you can only eat one serving at most. This thing is very expensive."

"Yeah! Don't worry~ I can't bear to eat it so fast!"

Ling Yuzi, who was squinting his eyes with an expression of enjoyment, nodded slightly, while Xin Lailai rubbed his forehead helplessly, looked at his body with a hint of regret in his eyes.

What a pity. He thought he could at least get a few dozen pieces of "biological materials". He didn't expect that the paid treatment in Paradise actually has an upper limit. This is really a piece of little-known knowledge that even the poor guys in the Necromancer Forum don't know.

"Whatever, at least I've made this much money."

After a while of regret, Xin Lailai shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked at the bottles and jars piled up like a mountain in the refrigerator beside him, as well as the blood, flesh and organ samples inside, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

With so many cell materials, as long as he used the alchemy he mastered to cultivate them properly, it would definitely be no problem to cultivate two or three 'alchemical substitutes' who could exert the same strength as their original bodies under the effect of the God's Movement in the World, let alone ten. After all, these were original materials taken from their bodies, and even if you look at the entire paradise, there probably wouldn't be anything more suitable as the material for their 'alchemical substitutes'.

——If you go to the market to buy it, even if you spend 50 million Paradise Points, you can only buy a useless sex toy. With the help of Paradise's treatment, you can get a powerful substitute that perfectly meets their needs at a cost of less than 10 million Paradise Points.

——This is the true meaning and essence of the art of pulling, it is truly a win-win situation!
Of course, after being fleeced so many times, even with Paradise's treatment, it would normally cause extremely serious damage to his body, but he had already considered this point -

"Ling Yuzi! Stop playing! Finish eating quickly, because you still need to undergo intensive treatment later!"

"Right away! Lailai, wait a moment! I'll be right there after I finish eating the brains!"

A conversation that was enough to make outsiders wonder if the two were playing some kind of bizarre PLAY was heard in the laboratory. Xin Lailai returned her soul to her body, and after using the remaining treatment quota to heal herself despite the severe pain that was enough to make an ordinary person collapse, she shouted to Ling Yuzi, and at the same time, without hesitation, took out the deep treatment authority (level 3) that she had bought from the Honor Store earlier.

Yes, this is Sinlailai's solution.

After all, the deep healing effect of Paradise is something that can even cure the erosion of the abyss. In the face of this level of treatment, the little deep damage caused by cutting the waist is not a big deal at all.

This is why they dared... or why they thought of such a disheartening operation. After all, they were being treated to the best condition anyway, so why not take advantage of the opportunity of deep treatment and push their bodies to the extreme as much as possible?

As for whether Paradise will be dissatisfied? Don't make a fuss. Isn't Paradise the place that brought them up like this?
After all, can the pioneer thing be called "plundering"? It is clearly to prove to the Sanctuary Paradise that they have been trained to be qualified and excellent pioneers!
