This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 245 The Battle for Qualifications as Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Dynasty at Tianwang Mountain

Jiang Liu didn't know how much 1 million cultivation points were.

But he knew how much 100 million spiritual essences were.

It consists of 100 low-grade spirit-level items and 1 low-grade magic-level items.

According to market prices, a low-grade magic weapon costs 150 spirit stones, which means that 1.5 million spirit stones are needed to break through from the Golden Core Great Perfection stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

Haha, what's the difference between this and spending money to buy levels?

The maximum level is 100, but you can upgrade to level 101 by spending only 648 yuan.

Damn, you're paying to upgrade, this is some kind of legendary gameplay, right?
Question: How can we give new value to the large number of low-level equipment available in the early stages of the game?

A: Can't it just be used for upgrading?

genius!

The planners of the Immortal Cultivation Era were true geniuses!
I'm mentally challenged, so we don't accept true geniuses. Please leave the hospital.

"The transition from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage is a watershed moment."

Upon seeing this condition for breaking the infant's life, Jiang Liu couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise.

Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through realms requires almost no economic resources besides a divine appearance.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, further breakthroughs require spending money.

Wealth, companion, law, land.

The planner used a very vivid and descriptive breakthrough condition to successfully convey to all players the importance of 'wealth' in cultivation.

What kind of immortal cultivation can you do if you don't have money?

Without money, the highest you can play is the Golden Core Great Perfection!

With money, the path to immortality is smooth sailing!
This is so damn real.

"It takes at least 150 million spirit stones to break through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. I don't even dare to think about the subsequent Deity Transformation tribulation."

Jiang Liu shook his head. This condition was the simplest for him, but the most difficult for ordinary players.

Hmm, it's quite difficult for ordinary players to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.

"1 million cultivation points. Does the Hundred Cultivation Pill count?"

He stared at the conditions for breaking through to the infant stage for several more seconds, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him and his eyes gradually brightened.

How many cultivation points can a single Hundred Cultivation Pill be counted as?
A thought struck him, and he hurriedly opened his backpack and casually swallowed a Hundred Cultivation Pill.

[You have consumed the Hundred Cultivation Pill and have gained your current cultivation level. Your cultivation level is too high; the pill's effect is halved. You have gained 0.00005% of your current cultivation level.]

[Your current cultivation level is full. The gained cultivation points will be automatically converted into the first condition for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.]

[Condition 1 for breaking the baby barrier: 1357/100 million]

Jiang Liu: “.”

Okay, never mind.

and many more!

There may still be vulnerabilities!

The second condition for breaking through the infant refers to items of each tier, not equipment of each tier.

Can the blood of a spirit-ranked demon be counted as 1 points of spiritual essence?
He tried again, placing a portion of spirit-grade demon blood into the inventory for the second condition of breaking through the infant.

[You have transformed into 'Spirit-Rank Demon Blood' and gained 100 points of Spiritual Purification]

Jiang Liu: “6.”

Two attempts made it clear to him that the developers were serious about forcing players to spend money.

Since there are no loopholes, we can only proceed step by step.
Jiang Liu pursed his lips, not really caring. It's just 1 million cultivation points.

I'm going to spend a ton!
Myriad Transformations Demon Palace, I'm back!

Just as he was about to take advantage of the remaining half-year anniversary celebration to quickly meet all the requirements for breaking through to the infant stage, system notifications started ringing out one after another.

The half-year anniversary celebration for the fourth server of the Chinese server has ended.

During this half-year anniversary celebration, players across the four servers collectively killed 1.354 million monsters in the open world. Each player will receive 13 Bound Earth Treasures and 1 Bound Heavenly Material, which have already been sent to their in-game mail.

During this half-year anniversary celebration, Jiang Liu ranked first on the Alchemy and Artifact Mastery Ranking, and received a random high-grade elixir blueprint/random high-grade artifact blueprint.

During this half-year anniversary celebration, you broke through from the early stage of Golden Core to the Great Perfection of Golden Core, and obtained the exclusive title—Leveling Expert Lv3.

The anniversary celebrations for all servers (servers 1-3) of the Immortal Cultivation Era have concluded.

[The Celestial Dynasty server of Immortal Cultivation Era is about to undergo a non-downtime update, which is expected to take 12 hours. Please be patient.]

Jiang Liu: “????”

The series of system announcements left Jiang Liu dizzy; he received too much important information at once, making it difficult for him to keep up.

The half-year anniversary celebration lasted for a whole month, and players across the entire region killed more than 1 million monsters in the open world alone?
Bro, what are you guys doing? You didn't actually spend a whole month grinding in the Dragon Palace dungeon, did you?

A master of both alchemy and weapon crafting?

He had almost forgotten about this promotional event. Luckily, he had refined the Extreme Cultivation Pill and the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword beforehand, otherwise he might not have been able to get the event rewards.

Blueprints for top-grade elixirs and top-grade magical artifacts! Yay!
They even gave me a limited-edition title, huh?
He was sorting out the results of the half-year anniversary celebration when the last two system announcements struck his mind like a bolt from the blue, causing his brain to tremble slightly.

"A server-wide anniversary celebration? And they even updated the game?"

Jiang Liu looked completely bewildered. These two system announcements truly shocked him and were completely unexpected.

He thought the anniversary celebration was only happening in their region, but he didn't expect that it would happen in every region of the entire server!

I hadn't thought about it before, but I realized it after hearing the system notification.

Yes, it's an anniversary celebration, so naturally every district has one.

Oh no, this will give the top players in Zones 1 and 2 another boost!
During the month-long anniversary celebration, he successfully broke through from the early stage of Golden Core to the Great Perfection of Golden Core, resulting in a significant improvement in both his realm and combat power.

What about the top players in Zones 1 and 2?

Holy crap, could they have reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage?
The gap that had just been narrowed has widened again in an instant.
hateful!

Couldn't the planners have shown a little more favoritism towards our new server?

Jiang Liu felt extremely helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well prevent other districts from having anniversary celebrations, could he?
He doesn't have that ability.

If the news that "other districts also have anniversary celebrations" caught him off guard, then the last system announcement made his heart tremble, and a sentence instantly appeared in his mind.

The big one is coming!
It's obvious that this version update is for the whole server battle!

After the version update is completed, the server-wide battle will begin!
Damn it, the half-year anniversary celebration just ended and we're already having a massive four-server war? What's the rush, game planner?

Can't we wait a little longer until I break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
Whether the planner was in a hurry or not, I don't know, but he was definitely in a hurry.

"There should be some preparation time. During this time, what I should do is..."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, a sense of impatience rising in his heart. Without saying a word, he opened his backpack and put his eyes on the blueprints given out by the "Dual Excellence in Alchemy and Weaponry" event.

[Soul-Breaking Pill Blueprint]

[Purpose: After use, one will learn the superior-grade elixir - Soul-Breaking Pill]

【Soul-Breaking Pill】

[Grade: High-grade elixir]

[Effect: After consumption, your attacks will inflict an additional 20% Soul damage, lasting 1 hours]

[Refining Materials: 1000 Spirit Stones, 500 Profound-Rank Demon Blood, 100 Spirit-Rank Demon Blood, 1 Spirit-Rank Demon Core]

A pill that inflicts additional damage to the soul!
Good heavens, game planner, did you release a blueprint to help me since I can't harm Nascent Soul players at all?

If that's the case, even if I feel disgusted and repulsed, I will still thank you.

Upon seeing the pill's properties, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He had very few methods to damage the soul, and this Soul-Breaking Pill was a godsend.

Since you're going to give it away, why not give me a piece of charcoal too!
[Qimen Dunjia: All Transformations Mirror Blueprint]

[Use: Can be used to refine a high-grade spiritual weapon—Qimen·Jie·Wanhua Mirror] [Qimen·Jie·Wanhua Mirror]

[Grade: High-grade spiritual weapon]

[Attribute 1: Upon entering combat, gain one random buff per minute, up to a maximum of five]

【Attribute 2: Can copy one enemy buff, lasting 5 minutes, with no cooldown, up to three times】

【Attribute 3: Each time an enemy's buff is copied (cannot be repeated), one Mirror Crack is added. When there are ten cracks, the Myriad Transformation Mirror can be shattered, adding ten random negative buffs to a single target for 1 hour.】

[Note: Special equipment - one of the Qimen sets. When you collect all eight pieces of the Qimen set (Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie), one of them can be upgraded to a low-grade Dao artifact.]

[Refining Materials: 10 Spirit Stones, 1000 Mystic-Rank Demon Bones, 1000 Mystic-Rank Demon Hide, 100 Spirit-Rank Demon Bones, 100 Spirit-Rank Demon Hide, 10 Spirit-Rank Demon Cores]

Jiang Liu: “.”

It's a very complex piece of equipment, but after taking a closer look, you can feel how terrifying it is.

Attribute 1: Adds 5 beneficial buffs.

Attribute 2: Adds 3 beneficial buffs.

Attribute 3: Adds 10 negative buffs to a single enemy.

One plus one minus, 18 buffs!

You're telling me this is a top-grade spiritual artifact?

This is no exaggeration to call it a Dao artifact!
And it's another set of equipment, an eight-piece set!
Collect all eight pieces and you will automatically receive a low-grade Dao artifact!
Holy crap, that's awesome!

However, he knew very well that this was just for show, and it was almost impossible to collect them all.

He possesses a mysterious artifact called the Earthly Dipper Cauldron. If he collects another Heavenly Dipper Cauldron, he can upgrade both cauldrons to spiritual artifacts.

However, several months passed, and even though the equipment was now obsolete, he still hadn't seen the Heavenly Cauldron.

Is this set even something a human could put together?
You might as well throw it at the BOSS and let me farm it.

If even a two-piece set is this hard to collect, he doesn't even dare to dream of an eight-piece set.

"Let's take advantage of the version update to refine the Soul-Breaking Pill and the Myriad Transformation Mirror first."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself. After observing the attributes of the two high-grade spirit-level items, his mind, which had been disturbed by the version update, gradually calmed down and he regained his usual composure.

Isn't it just that the all-server war is coming?

Who is afraid of whom!

Just do it!

Refine pills, forge weapons, make ample preparations, and be in the best possible condition to meet the onslaught of veteran players!
Should we refine the Soul-Breaking Pill?

[Should we add additional Spirit-Rank Dragon Pill materials?]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Whether or not the Qimen Dunjia Mirror of Myriad Transformations is refined

[Should we add additional Spirit-Rank Dragon Bone materials?]

Yes, yes, yes.

【Soul-Breaking Pill (Dragon Pill Enhanced Version)】

[Effect: After consumption, your attacks will inflict an additional 30% Soul damage, lasting 1.5 hours]

After using the Spirit-Rank Dragon Pill, the effect of the Soul-Breaking Pill increased by 0.5 times.

However, the Myriad Transformation Mirror is not so good. Even if ten spirit-level dragon bones are added, it can only add one more buff, and no other attributes are added.

Perhaps this is the limit of the Myriad Transformations Mirror.

"Based on a major event lasting fifteen days, we would need about 16 Soul-Breaking Pills per day. That means we need to refine 240 Soul-Breaking Pills just in case. Let's refine 500 first."

For the rest of the time, Jiang Liu focused on refining the Soul-Breaking Pill using the alchemy function, without even glancing at the newly opened talisman-making function.

After 12 hours.

His alchemy practice was interrupted when the system notification sounded again.

The non-disruptive update for the Celestial Dynasty server in the Immortal Cultivation Era has concluded.

[New server-wide content: China server official website]

Players can check the currently available cross-server content on the official website of the Chinese server.

Gone?

Is this gone?

When the system notification disappeared, Jiang Liu was stunned, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

The first version update was just an official website update?

Is the big one coming, or did it just poop a big one?

Jiang Liu exited the alchemy function with some doubts and immediately saw the [Official Website] button below his avatar in the upper left corner.

Clicking on the [Official Website] will bring up a page that covers the entire main interface.

Mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, living beings, and all things serve as the background image, containing a universe within it, divided into multiple content modules.

Jiang Liu glanced at it and his gaze fell directly on the large banner at the top of the official website.

[The Battle for Qualification as Heavenly Soldiers and Generals at Tianwang Mountain in the Celestial Dynasty Server!]

[Coming Soon!]

【Countdown: 167:58:32】

What a long name!
But just from the name, you know that the big one is really coming!

"A battle to determine the qualifications of heavenly soldiers and generals? What does that mean?"

Jiang Liu frowned slightly, not bothering to look at the other content on the official website, and directly clicked on the large banner at the top.

[The Battle for Qualification as Heavenly Soldiers and Generals at Tianwang Mountain in the Celestial Dynasty]

[Summary: In this battle, all players in the fourth region of the Celestial Empire server will fight individually for the supreme honor—the Heavenly Soldier and General Employment Certificate—which is reserved for only thirty players.]

[Note: The appointment letters for Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are officially issued by the Heavenly Court of the Celestial Realm. Holding this letter grants one the authority to assume a legitimate divine position as a Heavenly Soldier or General.]

[Details: The Heavenly King Mountain Heavenly Soldiers and Generals Competition will be held in three sessions, with ten Heavenly Soldiers and Generals recruitment certificates issued in each session, for a total of thirty certificates. After the three sessions, players holding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals recruitment certificates will be eligible to participate in the Heavenly King Mountain Battle!]

[The Battle of Tianwang Mountain: Thirty aspiring celestial soldiers and generals fight individually for only four appointment letters from the Heavenly King.]

[Note: The Heavenly King Appointment Certificate is an officially issued document from the Heavenly Court in the Celestial Realm. Holding this certificate grants one the right to assume the legitimate divine position of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.]

[Countdown to the Battle Begins: 167 Hours]

Jiang Liu: “.”

He watched the entire battle from beginning to end, but he didn't see anything else except the deep malice of the planner.

Appointment letter for heavenly soldiers and generals!
With this book, you can immediately assume the position of heavenly soldier or general after ascension, becoming a civil servant and receiving a government salary!
Heavenly King's Employment Letter!
With this book, you can immediately assume the position of Heavenly King after ascending to heaven and become a civil servant with a government salary!
Wow, that's awesome! I'm only at the Golden Core stage and I already have a legitimate divine position. As long as I ascend, I can join the Heavenly Court's big family on the spot and become one of the many immortals.

It sounds impressive, but it's actually utterly worthless.

What are the celestial soldiers and generals for?

A lowly soldier, guarding the Milky Way!
What do the Four Heavenly Kings do?

The gatekeeper!

With 100,000 soldiers, they only released 30 job offers, forcing all players on the server to scramble for them.

The Four Heavenly Kings, four gatekeeper positions, are being fought over by the top thirty players in the entire server.

Damn it, you guys really have no respect for our bread and butter.

You arrogant gods, do you really think that just throwing out some trash jobs will cause all the players on the server to scramble for them?

Haha, you guys underestimate the pride of gamers!
I only have one question.

Can a Heavenly King's position be promoted further?
