The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 471 Wealth Freedom
Just do it!

Wang Wu first selected nine sets of array stones with the least damage from his 50,000 damaged array stones.

Different array symbols cannot be combined together. Perhaps it is theoretically possible, but since even the high-ranking members of the Hidden Origin Society did not choose this approach from the beginning, they knew that it was not appropriate.

These nine sets of array stones represent nine types of array symbols.

Wang Wu then selected the group with the best condition and the lowest overall repair cost.

Ultimately, he decided on the White Tiger Formation Talisman, which also had the most discarded Heaven and Earth Needles. It seems that in the end, one of their groups only managed to gather thirty-six Heaven and Earth Needles, and the other only managed to gather forty-nine, which was considered rather poor.

Next, Wang Wu dismantled the main fortress with its three defenses and his own protective armor, using the materials to build a crude meditation room with a low level of spiritual energy leakage, which could also be considered an operating room.

This is the space necessary to repair the array stones.

Next, he used his qi and blood as talismans to cover the entire perimeter of the meditation room, further reducing the level of spiritual energy leakage.

At this point, Wang Wu nodded in satisfaction, casually took out a White Tiger Array Stone, and enveloped it with his spiritual energy. The changes in the White Tiger Array Symbols engraved on it, and their core, were immediately reflected in his soul.

Even though he had never done it before, Wang Wu mastered it completely in less than half an hour.

Of course, there's nothing to brag about. The four clowns mastered it in twenty minutes. In short, it's challenging, but not particularly difficult.

Wang Wu's divine sense has been slowly increasing because his overall strength is already very high. Therefore, the upper limit of his divine sense has now become twelve strands. Even if it is consumed, he can recover one strand every five days.

In a sense, he could also make a cameo appearance as one of the Five Clowns.

"It's been deduced that repairing this White Tiger Array Stone theoretically requires 320 million points of ordinary spiritual energy. Are you sure you want to repair it?"

Wang Wu felt a pang of pain. 3.2 million! Even if it were 500 pieces at this average, it would still require 1.6 billion spiritual energy points. And this was only the piece with the best damage.

He wanted to cry.

But there are really no shortcuts or ways out in this kind of thing.

Either you invest real money, or you stop talking; there is no third way.

With a long sigh, Wang Wu activated the Heart of the Earth, first borrowing some spiritual energy from the three spiritual pills in the second Foundation Establishment Formation.

These three spiritual pills have truly had a long and arduous journey. They had once cultivated to the second rank in the acquired cultivation system, but after a series of manipulations by Wang Wu, they were shrouded in various hidden injuries, their rank dropped, and they were reclassified as innate. Only then did they painstakingly and eagerly cultivate back to the second rank.

But now, their quality has to be lowered, there's no way around it.

The Five Innate Demon Pills are already of the first grade, a wall forged from bloodline, and cannot be easily shaken.

All the bloodline talents are tied to the Five Demon Pills.

As for the Creation Fire Spirit Pill, he had finally managed to raise his Creation Fire Spirit Qi to level seven, and he was about to advance to the eighth-grade Creation Fire Spirit Pill. There absolutely could not be any changes at this critical juncture.

As for the Wind Spirit Pill, with its tiny arms and legs, it's still the Creation Fire Spirit Pill's little sweetheart; Wang Wu doesn't want to separate them...

In short, I can only target the logistics pills, tool pills, and animal pills. You all have to bear with it a little longer. I can still help you continue your cultivation in the future.

The Foundation Building Formation operated silently, and the wood, water, and metal spiritual energies began to be converted into ordinary spiritual energy in proportion, which was then used to repair the White Tiger Formation Stones.

Not bad. All three types of spiritual energy have now reached level 4.5, and when converted into ordinary spiritual energy, they are quite cost-effective.

In fact, Wang Wu and the Four Clowns had also deduced what would happen if they used high-level spiritual energy to repair it. The answer was that it was possible, but it would make things more complicated. It seemed that this was related to the core materials inside the array stone.

The core materials inside are the boulders and black iron that were originally in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower. At first glance, they don't seem special, but in fact, this thing has another scientific name: Old Remains.

The specifics of the explanation are not important.

All you need to understand is that, unless this core remnant is a complete array stone, it will rapidly collapse and disintegrate once it is damaged and leaves the special world of the Tower of Sin.

So it's not that those people from the Hidden Origin Society don't understand the benefits of picking up trash, but rather that there's no point in bringing it back.

Similarly, based on this old core, the repair process must be gentle and patient, and one must not be too stimulating.

The best approach is to gently boil the frog in lukewarm water, repairing the damage like a spring breeze and gentle rain.

Using high-level spiritual energy, are you worried that the damage isn't severe enough?

With Wang Wu's assistance at the level 19 of the Spiritual Essence Subtlety realm, the repair process was astonishing and extremely difficult.

Three days had passed by the time the repairs were completed.

If someone else were to repair this, it would take at least ten times longer and consume at least ten times the resources.

Although those powerful forces are all large and wealthy, they don't need this...

The problem is, a normal-sized Heaven and Earth Needle requires at least ten thousand array stones...

Also, repairing just one Heaven and Earth Needle is meaningless; you have to reach a certain integer value.

Such as forty-nine, sixty-four, eighty-one, etc.

In addition, many of the array stones were shattered and turned into sand, beyond repair.

In this case, the array stones would have to be reforged, which would be more costly and time-consuming.

For various reasons, other factions chose not to repair it.

Next, Wang Wu continued the monotonous, tedious, and repetitive repair work day after day. He could finish the easy repairs in three days, and the difficult ones in ten or fifteen days.

Only his three elixirs made him grow thinner day by day.

He fell from the second rank to the third rank, and then from the third rank to the fifth rank. His spiritual energy, which was originally at an average level of 4.5, has now been diluted and weakened to level 2... At this time, Wang Wu had just completed the repair of three hundred White Tiger Array Stones, and there was still a shortage of two hundred.

"How to do?"

Wang Wu was in a real bind. He searched every single one of his Qiankun bags, only to find his pockets were emptier than his face.

Sigh, let's use Qi and Blood Conversion first, and try our best not to let the bloodline evolution level drop.

Wang Wu continued to sell everything he owned; there was no time to regret it now, so he just went for it.

Fortunately, his innate bloodline, the Five Demon Core, was strong enough to allow him to recover through blood transfusions.

Once he's exhausted his daily stored blood and qi, he'll consume his fixed assets to downgrade his demon core, even if it temporarily downgrades his various bloodline talents and divine abilities. He can't care about that now.

His bloodline supernatural abilities can still be improved, so he doesn't need to be so extravagant for now.

For example, a level 18 Spiritual Essence skill is only slightly less effective at repairing array stones, and it takes a little longer, but that's fine.

Come on!
However, after all five demon cores were reduced to the second grade, Wang Wu then repaired 150 array stones.

By this point, Wang Wu had already consumed nearly 4 billion points of spiritual energy, and it was estimated that he would need another 1 billion points.

Because the last fifty remaining stones were the most damaged and the toughest fortresses to break through.

"I'm so sorry, Creation Fire Spirit Pill!"

Wang Wu poured out his tears as he brewed the elixir.

In short, even if it means bleeding out your blood and eating your flesh, you have to keep going.

There is no way out.

And so, like a general who had gone mad with killing, a howling butcher, he persevered and spent another six months successfully repairing the last fifty White Tiger Array Stones.

As for the losses, they weren't significant. The Creation Fire Spirit Pill seemed to have no effect; the Creation Fire Spirit Qi simply dropped back to level six.

But he finally succeeded, because in just three short years, the array stones in his Qiankun bag automatically decomposed, and more than five thousand of them were completely destroyed.

Even the other array stones, without exception, experienced a decline in quality.

This is under the stable environment inside the Qiankun Bag. If it were in the outside environment, these array stones would probably have been annihilated long ago.

Wang Wu felt heartbroken and his liver ached; it was such a waste, it was a crime.

Because the spiritual energy within these obliterated array stones had mysteriously vanished, leaving him only a handful of yellow sand.

Without a doubt, a treasure like the Qiankun Bag is not enough at this level.

So Wang Wu immediately used the five hundred White Tiger Array Stones to build a miniature Heaven and Earth Needle on the spot.

He could only stay where he was. He had demolished the main fortress, which was protected by three defenses, and the ruins had been blown into sand by the evil wind. The surrounding area was vast and full of sand. He was afraid that Qingxue would not be able to find him.

But it doesn't matter if he can't find her. He's really anxious now, and he can't care about Qingxue or Shuangjun anymore.

If this continues for a few more years, all these array stones will automatically disappear.

Fortunately, he had already completed the first step, and in no time he finished the basic structure of the Heaven and Earth Needle. Then, before the last array stone fell, he crawled inside.

He then dared not delay and immediately adjusted the Heaven and Earth Needle to complete the illumination of Yin and Yang energies. He was already familiar with these techniques and had sufficient spiritual energy.

Especially now that the Yin and Yang energies within the Tower of Sin have long been stable, it's even easier.

Next, he immediately took out the array stones that were about to collapse and began to break them down.

This doesn't involve much technical skill; it's just a matter of disassembly. Gentleness and violence are the same, there's no difference. But there's one key difference: because this is inside the Heaven and Earth Needle, and is illuminated by Yin and Yang energies, it's equivalent to simulating a miniature Prison Tower environment. Therefore, all spiritual energy cannot escape or leak out.

They all revolve around the two energies of Yin and Yang.

Wang Wu acted very quickly.

In just one day, they violently decomposed over a hundred collapsing array stones, successfully recovering nearly ten million points of spiritual energy.

A little less.

However, as Wang Wu began to dismantle the slightly better, broken array stones that could last for a few more months, his harvest finally became plentiful.

Just one of these array stones can decompose and recover at least five million points of spiritual energy.

The slightly better ones can be decomposed and recycled for ten million points of spiritual energy.

So cool!

Of course, this kind of array stone will decompose slowly and is not suitable for hard decomposition; it will take one or two days.

This is especially true for items with lower levels of damage.

One of the array stones, which takes more than three days to decompose, can yield 100 million points of spiritual energy.

Wang Wu spent six months decomposing and recycling nearly two thousand array stones, easily obtaining 50 billion points of spiritual energy.

All the previous investments have been recouped at this moment.

I'm financially free!
