This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 234: Farming Dragon Palace, but the drop rate is terrible!

Shining sun, fierce waves, crystal palace, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the bright moon rises over the sea.

What is this Five Elements Revolving Sword?

This is clearly the Five Elements Moon-Turning Sword!

If the Five Elements in One Line is a horizontal slash, then the Five Elements Rotating Sword is a vertical slash.

A full moon stood between the sky and the sea, radiating a hazy light of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Like a Ferris wheel rolling forward, it cleaved through the giant waves and easily crushed the two hundred shrimp soldiers.

The power of that single sword strike is beyond description!
After a single sword strike, the screen was instantly cleared, shrimp shell fragments flew everywhere, and the shattered shrimp soldiers slowly faded into the distance, finally dissipating into the air like bubbles, leaving only a few fallen objects floating on the sea surface.

The Five Elements Revolving Sword traveled thousands of meters before gradually dissipating. Once the wind and waves subsided, the sea that had been split open for thousands of meters returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh my God."

Jiang Liu was stunned by the special effects and power of the Five Elements Revolving Sword. He was stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses. He stared blankly at the scattered debris on the sea surface, and the scene of the five-colored full moon appearing right in front of him kept flashing through his mind.

This sword strike revealed the essence of cultivating immortality, and its visual impact far surpassed that of a mere thin line representing the Five Elements.

A top-grade spiritual technique, both ethereal and powerful, truly deserving of its name!

With this ultimate sword technique, he felt he could reach the Nascent Soul stage.

A chaotic battle in the Chinese server?

My sword is itching for a fight!

Let's grind monsters! Let's grind monsters now!
I want to dominate! I want to level up!
[The third wave—400 shrimp soldiers are about to be deployed. Players, please prepare for battle.]

400?
Can you just send me 4 of them?
"Mixed Beast, clean up the battlefield!"

"Five Elements Sword Formation, Bloodthirsty Sword Formation, List of Earthly Treasures and Immortal Names, collect them!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

Jiang Liu, like a child who had just received a new toy, eagerly swung the Five Elements Revolving Sword, one strike after another, enjoying himself immensely.

In order to enjoy the game to the fullest, he even took back the Twin Swords Formation and the Earthly Treasure Record, leaving only himself to attack.

The first five sword strikes were executed in sequence, while the sixth sword unleashed unparalleled power.

Round and round full moons cleaved through the waves, crushing the shrimp soldiers that rushed out of the Crystal Palace into powder.

With each use of the sword technique, his sword speed increased, and the spinning sword that originally took more than a second to execute now took almost a second.

But that wasn't enough; he was still not satisfied.

In one second, it can slash out two to three lines of the Five Elements.

In one second, it can only unleash one spinning sword strike, and that's with the attack speed boost from the Dark Rain Corrosion Spirit.

Not enough, too slow!
I need to be even faster!
I can be even faster!
[The fourth wave—800 shrimp soldiers are about to be deployed. Players, please prepare for battle.]

[The fifth wave—1600 crabs will be released soon. Players, please prepare for battle.]

[Sixth wave – 3200 crabs will be released soon, players please prepare for battle]

[The seventh wave—6400 crabs will be released soon. Players, please prepare for battle.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

At first, he complained that grinding in dungeons was too slow.

But just seven minutes later, he retracted his statement.

I'm sorry, I was too arrogant. Could you please slow down the scrolling process?

Within seven minutes, he was completely surrounded by shrimp soldiers and crab generals on all sides, with no gaps in his defenses!

Even if the rotating sword can clear a blank area more than a thousand meters long in an instant, it will be filled with monsters in the next second.

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Sword of Reincarnation! Sword of Reincarnation! Sword of Reincarnation!"

In seven minutes, he went from being calm and composed to being covered in sweat, his Meteor Fall sword leaving afterimages as he swung it.

Standing still, he moved lightly, unleashing a series of crescent-shaped slashes towards the shrimp soldiers and crab generals from all directions.

Clear the screen with one sword!
But it will soon be filled up.

In such a dense horde of monsters, a single swinging sword could kill two or three hundred shrimp soldiers and crab generals, while tens of thousands had already spawned around them.

10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds.
With his continued efforts, the number of monsters around him decreased, and a large number of dropped items floated on the sea surface.

But soon, before he could finish clearing them out, the next wave of monsters spawned.

[The eighth wave—12800 crabs will be released soon. Players, please prepare for battle.]

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

"Five Elements Sword Formation, Bloodthirsty Sword Formation, Earthly Treasure Immortal Register, emerge!"

Upon entering the dungeon, he became incredibly arrogant after acquiring new sword techniques.

Eight minutes later, a new wave of refreshes appeared every minute, doubling in size each time. Is this some kind of crazy thing?
"Rotating Sword! Moonlit Sword! Moon-Turning Sword!"

"Seven-Colored Flying Flower Jade, Earthly Dipper Cauldron!"

The Ninth Wave

The Tenth Wave

The eleventh wave.

[You are dead. Do you wish to trigger the Battle Saint Body - Comeback from Adversity effect?]

He died during the eleventh wave.

Surrounded by a vast, flat ocean with no shelter, and swarming with monsters from all sides, tens of thousands of them were overwhelming even for him.

While focused on what was in front of him, he was ambushed from behind.

His attack power is very strong, but his defense is not as good as a dog on the roadside.

【no】

The next second, he was kicked out of the instance.

"Speechless. I died before even seeing the boss! This monster-killing speed is just ridiculously fast!!!"

Jiang Liu looked at the dungeon entrance with a helpless expression and muttered to himself. But before he could finish speaking, as if he had remembered something, he suddenly let out an extremely miserable wail.

I forgot to pick up the things I dropped!
He only realized after he came out that he had forgotten to summon his Chaos Beast to sweep the floor, and all the loot on the map was wasted. Damn it, what the hell was I doing showing off? All those ten-odd minutes of grinding for nothing!

I killed tens of thousands of monsters and got tens of thousands of spirit-grade dragon pills, but I didn't pick up a single one. It's so frustrating!
What a waste of money.

There is nothing in the celebration instance except for instance drops.

There are no cultivation points, no spirit stones, no Holy Body damage boost, and even the cumulative monster kills from the celebration benefits don't count.

In the celebration instance, you can only obtain celebration dragon scales and dragon materials.

If you don't pick it up, you'll just be wasting your time.

"Oh well, I'll just treat it as a fun hack-and-slash session and get some practice on my new skill."

Jiang Liu sighed. Nothing happened. Time to start over.

[Enter the Dragon Palace (Infinite Abyss Level)?]

【Yes】

Upon entering the dungeon again, he wasn't arrogant this time; he went all out from the start.

This time, however, he did not allow the sword formation and the list of earthly treasures to attack indiscriminately, but instead made a sensible deployment.

"Five Elements Sword Formation, Bloodthirsty Sword Formation, Earthly Treasure Immortal Register, Circle Attack!"

He stationed the seventeen swords and dozens of earthly treasures within a hundred meters of him, protecting him like dozens of cannon emplacements.

Low defense, no defensive skills?
No need to worry, offense is the best defense!

With these auto-attack items here, let's see which monster can get close to me!
[First wave - 100 shrimp soldiers.]

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Chaos Beast, hurry and pick up the stuff!"

[Second Wave]

[Third Wave]

[Fourth Wave]

With the protection of the Twin Swords Formation and the Earth Treasure Record, Jiang Liu could safely grind monsters. He kept swinging the Meteor Fall sword in his hand, and his spiritual energy rose and fell. It was only thanks to the spiritual energy recovery speed and the half-cost effect of the Nether Rain Corrosion Spirit that he was able to supply the spiritual energy for the Five Elements Revolving Sword.

These Spirit Rank skills consume way too much mana!

In one go, I cleared the twentieth wave of monsters.

At this moment, his surroundings, and even the sky, were swarming with shrimp soldiers and crab generals, densely packed and blocking out the sun, completely locking his vision within a hundred meters.

They can't be killed, they can't be killed at all.

He never imagined that one day he would be troubled by the sheer number of monsters.

With this amount of monster kills, if he could gain cultivation points and increased damage from his Holy Body, he felt he could reach ascension in a month.

[Wave 21 - The Turtle Formation is about to be released. Players, please prepare for battle.]

A new weird thing has appeared!

But you can't see it at all!

[Wave 22]

[Wave 23]

He didn't see what the new monster looked like until the 25th wave.

This is an old ghost several meters tall, with goblin-colored skin, wearing a hat on its head, and standing on two feet. Its cultivation level is as high as the late Golden Core stage.

And the number is already countless.

In the first twenty waves, the first five sword strikes of the Five Elements Revolving Sword are capable of instantly killing the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

However, after the turtle appeared, the first five swords were no longer enough to kill it, and only the residual power of the sixth round of swords remained.

The monster-killing speed has decreased significantly, and the pressure on monsters has increased dramatically.

The twin sword formation and the Earth Treasure Record that were originally protecting him within a hundred-meter radius were also shrinking, and had already shrunk to within ten meters, almost hitting him.

Too slow, too slow!
Jiang Liu frowned slightly as he watched his monster-killing speed rapidly decrease.

His threshold for instantly killing monsters has been raised by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Once he can no longer instantly kill monsters in a large area, he will immediately feel unhappy.

Damn it, I can't kill it instantly, I'm not refreshing anymore.

[Do you wish to leave the Dragon Palace (Infinite Abyss Level)?]

【Yes】

Jiang Liu acted decisively and chose to exit the instance.

This is what he was thinking: since the drop rates of various Dragon Palace monsters weren't displayed, it meant that the drop rates of all monsters were the same.

Since it's the same, why should I bother farming monsters in the late Golden Core stage?
Just reset the instance and endlessly hack and slash at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and that's it.

"This wave killed over 100,000 monsters. Based on the drop rate, there should be over 1000 Spirit-Rank Dragon Pills, right?"

Jiang Liu couldn't hide his excitement as he muttered to himself. He had fought for six days and six nights in the cross-regional event before he could get a single Spirit-Rank Dragon Pill.

The celebration dungeon can yield over 1000 Spirit-Rank Dragon Pills in just half an hour of gameplay!

This dungeon is fucking awesome!
Out of consideration for the Spirit-Rank Dragon Pill, a 15-day no-spray policy will be implemented.

He had already begun to fantasize about how to use the mountain of Spirit-Rank Dragon Pills. While daydreaming, he happily opened his backpack and looked at his haul with delight.

At first glance, his face was stiff, and his smile slowly faded.

Celebration Dragon Scales x1412, Spirit-Rank Dragon Blood x874, Spirit-Rank Dragon Bone x896, Spirit-Rank Dragon Hide x711, Spirit-Rank Dragon Pill x7.

Jiang Liu: “????”

Ok?
How did I go blind?

Ugh, I'm speechless. The monsters are spawning so densely that they're blinding me.

Let's slow down, let's slow down for a while.

Two seconds later.

I'll check again!
"Fuck your mother!"
