This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 244 Golden Core Perfection, Conditions for Breaking Through the Nascent Soul Stage!

A solo speedrun of the Myriad Transformations Demon Palace, awesome!
A quick run takes about twenty minutes, most of which is spent on the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations.

One round of cultivation points is about 5%, and twenty rounds are enough to advance to a minor realm.

In other words, it takes four hundred minutes to advance to a minor realm, and a day to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage?

My goodness, that's so fast!
It's he who thinks too much.

When he returned to the outer layer of the Myriad Transformations Demon Palace, the monsters inside had not yet respawned.

He waited and waited, for a full four hours, until the Golden Core prodigy and the sixth and seventh elders on the outer layer respawned together.

Refreshing the page every four hours? Are you out of your mind?

"How dare they force their way in!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

Two minutes to quickly clear the outer layer and enter the deeper layers.

At this moment, the monsters in the deeper levels also respawned.

"A mere Golden Elixir."

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"You've got some skill."

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Brother, save me!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword"

Ten minutes later, the deep cleaning was completed, and we went straight into the BOSS's palace.

Stepping into the BOSS Hall once again, Jiang Liu stared blankly at the countdown to the Myriad Transformations Palace Master's refresh, feeling utterly powerless.

The outer and deeper layers refresh every four hours, while the BOSS palace refreshes every five hours.

He could only fight for twelve minutes out of five hours, and rested the rest of the time!
Do not!
This isn't the leveling up I envisioned!

He wants to grind monsters 24/7; he wants to be a monster-grinding beast!
I only worked for twelve minutes in five hours. I don't remember being such a lazy person!

"Sigh, so much time has been wasted."

Jiang Liu sighed helplessly as he waited for the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations to refresh the page.

After defeating the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations, we can't just go back to the outer layer and wait around. It's better to leave for now, farm some Dragon Palace materials, and then run back from the nearest teleportation point when the monsters are about to respawn.

Okay, let's do it this way, brush both ends!

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Without the invincible time of transforming into a golden dragon and a true phoenix, the difficulty of his fight against the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations increased a hundredfold.

The Palace Master of Myriad Transformations has been refreshed.

"Five Elements."

"Shatter the Demon Soul!"

【You are dead】

【Yes】

"Five Elements."

"Shatter the Demon Soul!"

【You are dead】

【Yes】

"Five Elements."

"Shatter the Demon Soul!"

Instantly killed! Instantly killed! Infinitely being instantly killed!

Without the support of numerous buffs, the terrifying power of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator was revealed without reservation. This was a BOSS that a mere Golden Core cultivator simply could not handle.

One minute, you die forty-five times.

Every time he stands up, he is instantly killed after just one sword strike, an endless cycle.

Golden Core VS Deity Transformation.

Are you going to hit me on the head?

The only option is to use resurrection to slowly wear them down.

Four hours later.

Jiang Liu's overwhelming attack power and unwavering willpower successfully wore down the Palace Master of the Myriad Transformations.

I've lost count of how many times I've died.

[You have killed the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations and gained 0.75% of your cultivation points.]

You have obtained 37 Spirit Stones, 5 Spirit-Rank Demonic Blood, and 5 Spirit-Rank Demonic Bones.

Jiang Liu: “.”

He listened to the system notification in his mind, and looked at the few materials in his hand, a look of bewilderment appearing on his face.

Four hours were spent, and tens of thousands of spirit stones were spent on reviving the spirits. In the end, all that was gained was 37 spirit stones and a little bit of material.
What have I been doing for the past four hours?

Is it still necessary to keep demoting this Palace Master of Myriad Transformations?

"By the way, the monsters on the outer layer have respawned."

Jiang Liu murmured in a daze, exited the BOSS Hall, and returned to the outer layer of the Demon Palace.

Two minutes to quickly clean the outer layer.

Ten minutes to quickly clean deep layers.

Once again, he stood at the entrance of the BOSS Hall, his steps faltering, his face showing hesitation and inner conflict.

Without the invincibility period, this Palace Master of Myriad Transformations is really too difficult to defeat. The rewards are not proportional to the effort. Maybe I should just give up on this one.
It's too difficult to push through a boss at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm with only the early Golden Core stage cultivation. It's better to wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage before trying to farm it.

"What's wrong?"

After sweeping the floor, Yi Luoluo saw Jiang Liu standing at the entrance of the BOSS Hall and asked with a puzzled look, "Why aren't you going in?"

"I don't want to use it anymore."

Jiang Liu shook his head: "It's too difficult to push through, and it doesn't drop anything good. I really don't think it's worth continuing to farm it."

what? !

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Yi Luoluo was greatly shocked and looked at Jiang Liu as if he were a stranger.

He actually said he wasn't going to swipe anymore!
He actually backed down!

Is this still the same monster-slaying maniac who used to lead his sect members to grind through the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace 24/7?

You've disappointed me so much!

Yi Luoluo showed a disappointed expression, as if her idol had been shattered: "You're a freakish player, how could you back down in front of the BOSS!"

"This isn't about whether it will explode or not; it's about dignity!"

"You're scared by a mere Nascent Soul BOSS? Where is your dignity as a top player?!"

"You have to go!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

It really hurts my back to stand and talk!
I'm just trying to level up, why is this involving dignity?

"You're not mistaken."

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes at Yi Luoluo and said irritably, "Four hours, tens of thousands of spirit stones for resurrection, and in the end only a few pieces of trash materials. This is a matter of cost-effectiveness, not a matter of dignity."

"Isn't this normal?"

Yi Luoluo looked puzzled and asked, "Isn't it normal not to get rare equipment when fighting bosses? No game has a boss that guarantees a rare item drop!"

"If it drops in one hit, then why bother respawning the boss?"

Jiang Liu: “.”

hiss.

That makes sense.

It's normal that it doesn't explode.

The real fun of defeating a boss comes from finally getting the rare item you wanted after repeated attempts and overcoming numerous difficulties.

Delayed gratification, a sense of accomplishment—isn't that what defeating the boss is all about?
Jiang Liu understood, and once again roused himself, suppressing the urge to retreat that had just arisen. After letting out a long sigh, he resolutely pushed open the BOSS Hall.

Master of the Myriad Transformations Palace, let's fight again!

The BOSS hall, filled with dark demonic energy, was silent. Atop the towering Demon Bone Mountain, tombstones and a countdown timer were displayed.

The Palace Master of Myriad Transformations hasn't been refreshed yet.
With unwavering courage and fearlessness, he pushed open the door to the BOSS Hall, then silently closed it again.

Four hours later.

Two minutes to clean the outer layer.

Ten minutes to thoroughly cleanse the deep layers.

Jiang Liu stood at the entrance of the BOSS Hall, his gaze resolute, and pushed open the door of the BOSS Hall with a spirit of courage and determination.

Lord of the Myriad Transformations Palace, come and fight again! [You are dead.]

【You are dead】

You have.

Waaaaah, I'm not playing anymore, I'm so tired I feel numb.

Four hours, dying thousands of times, either instantly killed or on my way to being instantly killed, I'm a human being, not a machine!
I'm not doing it anymore, I'd rather die than do it again!

You have killed the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"It's out! It's really out this time!"

Just as Jiang Liu was about to remove the Palace Master of the Myriad Transformations from his list of quick-farming targets, he suddenly heard an extremely piercing, excited scream in his ear.

Hehe, it's out again, isn't it?

It’s not over, right?
With a drop rate of only 0.1%, you think you're a god?
He sneered inwardly, turned around and raised his hand, just about to teach Yi Luoluo a lesson, when he saw Yi Luoluo raising her arm high, vigorously shaking a dark blue drawing in her small hand.

In an instant, his eyes widened, and he instinctively snatched it to take a look.

The blueprint for the Annihilation Rune!

Holy shit, it really came out!
Yi Luoluo, you are a god!
Not going to swipe anymore?
Why don't you just tick the box?
The Palace Master of Myriad Transformations will fight to the bitter end!
"Hahaha, well done!"

Jiang Liu was overjoyed, his smile was incredibly bright, as if the frustration of being instantly defeated by the Palace Master of the Myriad Transformations had never existed. He even happily took out 1 spirit stones and a dozen dragon pills from his backpack and handed them to Yi Luoluo.

"Here you go!"

Yi Luoluo: “.”

Do you think I didn't see the hand you raised in a slap?
Jiang Liu really didn't want to keep trying to get the Myriad Transformations Palace Master's item, but this one item made his fighting spirit explode!
I'm just two more high-grade spirit-level drops away, I'm going to grind them all!
On the second day after I started leveling up, the system notification sounded.

Congratulations on breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!

After being stuck in the early stage of the Golden Core realm for a long time, I finally broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm!
Full of energy and motivation!
Day four, day five, day six.
tenth day.

Congratulations on breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm!

Ten days, one minor realm – that's the power of the half-year anniversary celebration plus the enhanced Extreme Cultivation Pill!
continue!

Goal: Perfection of the Golden Core!

[You have killed a disciple of the Myriad Transformations Demon Palace and gained 0.013% of your current cultivation level.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

When farming monsters from the early stages of the Golden Core realm in the late Golden Core stage, the cultivation points gained are significantly reduced, and even the damage increase from the Battle Saint Body and the health increase from the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword are gone.

The cost-effectiveness has plummeted, but unfortunately, the Myriad Transformations Demon Palace is currently the best hidden map available, and there's nowhere else to farm it.

With the introduction of penalties for cultivation, the path to breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage has become even more difficult.

Sometimes he even thought, why not just stop at the late stage of Golden Core? There's no rush to reach the Great Perfection of Golden Core, since it's not like he's breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But this time.

"Aaaaaaah, it's happening again!"

Another one?
Really?

Myriad Transformations Demon Body!
Damn awesome!
Stop scrolling for a bit, then keep scrolling until the half-year anniversary celebration ends!

The twentieth day of the half-year anniversary celebration.

I've got the full set of all six Devouring Demon Bracelets!
A set of six mid-grade spirit artifacts increases all attributes by 320%, increases soul strength by 320%, and boosts combat power dramatically.

No matter how excellent your attributes are, a mid-grade spiritual weapon will only add 2000 million combat power, not a single point more.

Day 27 of the half-year anniversary celebration.

"Aaaaaaah! It's out! The last one dropped!"

Blood Dragon Skull, dropped!
In just over twenty days, I farmed the Myriad Transformations Palace Master sixty times and obtained all three high-grade spirit-level items!
With a 0.1% probability, if it were him, he would be incredibly grateful for even one item, let alone three.

However, in the face of a lucky person, all probabilities are meaningless.

I've collected the entire Devouring Path Demonic Transformation Set (0.1% probability) and the entire set of High-Grade Spirit Rank Items (0.1% probability).

Holy crap, you still have the nerve to say I'm the planner?

I think you're the one who orchestrated this descent to earth, aren't you?

Jiang Liu was both envious and jealous of Yi Luoluo's luck. Luckily, she was one of their own; if she were an enemy, it would be different.

Heh, then let's kill them and turn them into our own people.

The thirtieth day of the half-year anniversary celebration.

Just as the celebration was drawing to a close, the system voice he had been waiting for finally sounded.

[You have broken through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Please break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.]

You have unlocked a brand new feature—Spellcrafting.

Finally a breakthrough!
Not only did it achieve a breakthrough, it even opened up a new feature.

Making talismans? You've really opened up now!

He was particularly curious now: alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making were all the same type of auxiliary professions, so why was talisman making released so late?

Do you think making talismans is more noble than alchemy?

"Is it done?"

Seeing the golden light of Jiang Liu's upgrade burst forth, Yi Luoluo also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them spent a full twenty-seven days on this map, and after an anniversary celebration event was over, they finally managed to get Jiang Liu to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.

Although she didn't do anything, she was just picking things up.

But at this moment, she was even more excited than Jiang Liu.

I'm so touched, it's finally over, I almost threw up.

In these twenty-seven days, not only did Jiang Liu advance several realms, but she also managed to reach the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

When she reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, while Jiang Liu was dealing with the Palace Master of Myriad Transformations, she was fulfilling the conditions for breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

After fulfilling the requirements for breaking through to the Golden Core stage, he took some time to undergo a tribulation and became the second Golden Core player in the entire region.

Follow the expert, and you'll never have to worry about food or drink.

"It's over, it's finished, everyone go home and find your mothers."

Jiang Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. Given the nature of the planners, they might launch a server-wide war at any time. If he could break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm before it happened, at least he wouldn't become cannon fodder in the server-wide war.

He's only one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage!
They're just one step away from becoming top players in Zones 1 and 2!
Seven months after the opening of the fourth server of the Immortal Cultivation Era, he is finally almost catching up with the progress of the first server!

"Bye, call me again if there's anything like this in the future."

Before we came, let's rest for a bit.

Once you arrive, you must uphold the dignity of the players.

Really fragrant.

After leveling up, the two immediately parted ways. Jiang Liu couldn't wait to exit the world, open his character interface, and click to view the conditions for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Come on, let me see what the conditions are that have kept the top player in Zone 1 stuck for so long.

[Complete the following conditions to break through to the Nascent Soul stage]

【Part 1: The Condensation of a Nascent Soul from Countless Strands of Spiritual Energy (0/100 Million)】

【Part Two: Million Essence Essence for Infant Strengthening (1/100)】

【Part Three: Tribulation Transcending (0/1)】

【Four: Nascent Soul Spiritual Object (0/1)】

Jiang Liu: “.”

I didn't quite understand it, but I had a vague sense of foreboding.

The word "hundred million" made him extremely uneasy as he condensed a nascent soul from a vast amount of spiritual energy.

He gasped for breath and shakily clicked to view the details.

[Condensing a Nascent Soul with a Billion Strands of Spiritual Energy: Condensing a nascent Nascent Soul with a billion strands of spiritual energy (cultivation points)]

[Million Essence for Nascent Soul Ascension: Solidify the Nascent Soul with one million essences (100 points for Magic-rank items, 1000 points for Profound-rank items, 10000 points for Spirit-rank items, doubled for lower, middle, and upper ranks)]

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

You're kidding me!

How much is 1 million cultivation points?

I don't know. After the Qi Refining stage, it's always calculated as a percentage in the game. How would he know what the fixed value is?

No wonder I didn't hear the 'Unable to continue gaining cultivation points' notification; so that's what was waiting for!

and also
Millions of gems!

A low-grade spiritual item costs 10000 points!
You need 100 low-grade spirit-level items to meet this requirement!
Damn it, you're recycling items from behind, aren't you?
