This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 349 Breakthrough Mission
Seven days later.

[You have reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Please complete the breakthrough mission as soon as possible to break through to the Deity Transformation stage.]

"call"

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Liu let out a long sigh of relief, his face beaming with joy.

Finally, I've reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!

It's so damn tough!

Since the end of the first battle, he has been almost constantly immersed in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm, grinding monsters until he was almost numb, and finally reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

Next comes the most crucial mission: breaking through to the next realm!
A dozen days ago, General Yang and Ye Longying and others had already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, but they still haven't become players in the Divine Transformation stage. They are obviously stuck on the breakthrough mission.

What is that breakthrough quest that the top player on the entire server spent over ten days trying to complete?
Jiang Liu was very curious about this, but now was not the time to look into the breakthrough mission.

Seven days have passed, and he has broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Next up is the cross-server exchange event.

Before the cross-server communication event, there was one more thing he needed to do.

"Okay, okay, stop, stop, sisters!"

Jiang Liu clapped his hands, drawing the attention of all the fairy NPCs.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Jiang?"

Miao Qingfei asked in confusion.

"That's it."

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Sisters, you've worked hard these past few days. Let's end our cooperation here for now."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Upon hearing this, the fairy NPC was shocked and looked at each other in dismay. The next second, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and they all surrounded her.

"Why, Junior Brother Jiang!"

"Is it because we didn't do a good enough job?"

"If you have any problems, please let us know, and we will fix them!"

"No! Please don't fire us!"

Upon hearing Jiang Liu say that the cooperation was over, they immediately became anxious and surrounded him, chattering and trying to persuade him.

Where else can you find a job that pays 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points a day, with no threat to your life and the opportunity to hone your skills?
It ended after only seven days?
Let alone seven days, they would be willing to endure seven or seven hundred years!

"It's not that you did a bad job."

Jiang Liu was stunned by their words and hurriedly explained, "It's my own decision to break through. I'm going back to seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Sisters, believe me, after I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will lead you to conquer the world!"

Upon hearing that Jiang Liu was about to break through, they were immediately speechless.

In any case, they couldn't just let Jiang Liu hold back from breaking through, could they?

"That's it"

Miao Qingfei looked disappointed, but then forced a smile and said, "Then we sisters wish Junior Brother Jiang a successful breakthrough."

"I wish Junior Brother Jiang a successful breakthrough and that he achieves the Nascent Soul stage!"

The other fairy NPCs also offered their blessings in sweet voices.

"Haha, thank you so much, sisters."

Jiang Liu was extremely pleased with what he heard. He cupped his hands in greeting to the fairy NPCs and kindly asked, "Should I send you back first?"

"Of course we used it, it's quite a distance from Zhongzhou."

Just as one of the fairy NPCs was about to speak, she was glared at by Miao Qingfei.

"Need not."

Miao Qingfei smiled at Jiang Liu and said, "Breakthrough is the most important thing. Junior Brother Jiang, you should go back quickly."

"Alright then, junior brother will take his leave now."

Seeing that the other party did not need to see him off, Jiang Liu did not say much, cupped his hands in greeting, and then left the Great World.

After Jiang Liu left, a fairy NPC next to him asked Miao Qingfei, "Qingfei, why didn't you let Junior Brother Jiang take us back?"

Why should we go back?

Miao Qingfei said with a smile, "Although Junior Brother Jiang is gone, we are still here!"

"In this nine-layered demon realm, Junior Brother Duojiang is no more, and Junior Brother Shaojiang is no less. Now that he's gone, let's continue our training here."

Upon hearing what Miao Qingfei said, the other fairy NPCs' eyes lit up.

Yes, so what if Junior Brother Jiang left? As long as the demonic cultivators in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm haven't left, that's fine, isn't it?

Although the fixed salary from Junior Brother Jiang is no longer available, the demonic cultivators in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm still receive a fixed salary.

According to the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's mission rules, a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator will receive 10 Immortal Alliance contribution points!

If Junior Brother Jiang doesn't pay salaries, then they'll just have to pay themselves!
"I did some calculations while I was with Junior Brother Jiang these past few days."

Miao Qingfei's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a grin, "There are probably several thousand Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators, several hundred Divine Transformation stage demonic cultivators, and several dozen Integration stage demonic cultivators in this nine-layered demonic realm."

"After we eliminate them, we'll split the Immortal Alliance contribution points we gain!"

"I just don't know why, but no matter how many times I kill the demonic cultivators in this nine-layered demonic realm, I can't seem to kill them all."

The other fairy NPCs' eyes flashed with a glint of shrewdness. After quickly calculating, they were pleasantly surprised to find that even without Jiang Shidi paying their wages, they could earn 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points a day in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm on their own!

even more!

If that's the case, then what use is Junior Brother Jiang?

I'm sorry, Junior Brother Jiang. It's not that you gave too little; it's just that we wanted more.

"Shall we continue?"

"Of course I'll continue! Do you expect me to go back to being a receptionist? I won't do that!"

"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. I don't care about the contribution points of the Immortal Alliance; I just want to destroy demons."

"What a coincidence, so am I."

"What will happen when Junior Brother Jiang returns?"

"If he's willing, let him have some food to eat; if he's not, what's the point of mentioning a mere Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"It makes sense."

Jiang Liu was unaware that the fairy NPCs had turned on him and were preparing to seize control of the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. At worst, he could just go on a killing spree. When he returned to the Ninth Layer Demon Realm, he would be a Nascent Soul cultivator. He could easily defeat a group of Nascent Soul stage NPCs, though it would only result in more or fewer deaths.

If the fairy NPCs obediently continue to be tools, he will still give them 40 Immortal Alliance contribution points a day. If they are unwilling, then they will become elite monsters!
Upon returning to the game's main interface, Jiang Liu eagerly opened the character panel and looked at the Breakthrough Quest.

【Name: Jiang Liu】

[Realm Level: Nascent Soul Great Perfection (Unable to gain further cultivation points)]

[Affiliation: Taichu Sect]

[Immortal Appearance: Perfect Foundation Establishment, Nine-Turn Golden Core, Level 999 Nascent Soul]

[Spiritual Roots: Five Elements Spiritual Root, Sword Spiritual Root, Rain Spiritual Root, Thunder Spiritual Root, Ice Spiritual Root]

[Physique: Five Elements Dao Body, Battle God King Body, Blood Battle Overlord Body, Mountain and River Earth Body]

[Bloodline: Golden Dragon Bloodline (Purified), True Phoenix Bloodline (Purified)] [Combat Power: 108.4 billion]

My combat power has also exceeded 10 billion?
Jiang Liu glanced at his combat strength, but didn't care much. After just one glance, he focused his attention on the breakthrough mission.

With a simple tap, a system notification popped up in front of me.

[Your cultivation level has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Please complete the following conditions to break through to the early stage of the Deity Transformation stage.]

【Condition 10000: Kill 0 or more demonic monsters/NPCs/players at the Nascent Soul stage or above】

【Condition Two: Consume spirit stones to condense a split spirit body (0/1000000)】

【Condition 3: Consume a spirit artifact (the higher the quality of the spirit artifact, the better) to upgrade the Divine Body (0/10000)】

【Condition 4: Consume a Dao artifact (the higher the quality of the Dao artifact, the better) to solidify the clone (0/100)】

【Condition 5: Tribulation Transcendence (0/1)】

【Condition Six: Ethereal Appearance (0/1)】

[Note: Conditions three and four are optional. Completing them will increase the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, while not completing them will not affect the breakthrough.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

This is shocking! This isn't a breakthrough, it's blatant robbery!

Jiang Liu stared wide-eyed at the long list of breakthrough missions, his face filled with astonishment.

The first condition is easy enough: kill 10000 Nascent Soul stage monsters or players. This is a piece of cake for him; he can complete it by simply taking a trip to the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

The second condition is also simple: a mere 100 million spirit stones is nothing to worry about.

The third and fourth conditions are truly excessive.

I need 10000 magical artifacts and 100 Dao artifacts!
This is blatant robbery!
Furthermore, it was mentioned above that the higher the quality, the better. What does that mean?
All the spiritual artifacts and Dao artifacts you use will affect the initial quality of your Nascent Soul stage!

He finally understood why General Yang and Ye Longying hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet—they were collecting spiritual artifacts and Dao artifacts.

Aside from these two conditions, he didn't believe there were any other conditions that could prevent these two from breaking through.

100 million spiritual artifacts and 10000 Dao artifacts—what a waste of its resources to export them!

"It's not mandatory to complete, but since you've already asked for it, how can I not complete it?"

Jiang Liu was speechless. These two conditions were too much of a burden for ordinary players, and it would be difficult to meet them even if they wanted to.

But for a top player like him, it's something he absolutely has to complete.

I'm not talking about 100 high-grade Dao artifacts or 10000 high-grade spiritual artifacts, but they can't be too trashy at the very least.
Depend on!
How could it not be garbage!

Am I really going to spend so much time on this mere breakthrough mission card?
Definitely not!
Just collect the required number, why waste time? It's really unnecessary.

So what if it affects the quality of the Nascent Soul stage?

Is my quality really that bad?
"Before General Yang and Ye Longying can react, should I sneak up on them?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, "General Yang and Ye Longying haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet. They probably want to get some high-grade spiritual artifacts or mid-grade Dao artifacts to improve their Nascent Soul stage."

However, they quickly realize that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is more important, and they immediately abandon this idea.

Take advantage of now!
I'll first gather 10000 spirit artifacts and 100 Dao artifacts, then break through to the Divine Transformation realm first and become the first Divine Transformation player in the entire server!
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu couldn't help but get excited and hurriedly opened his backpack to take a look.

After grinding through the Nine-Layer Demon Realm for so many days, he had obtained countless sets of Seven Luminaries Dao Artifacts. He counted them over and over and was shocked to find that he already had more than 100 useless Dao Artifacts!
We have enough Dao artifacts!

So here's the question: Do they have 10000 magical artifacts in their fourth district?

Upon realizing this, the excitement on Jiang Liu's face instantly froze, replaced by a look of bewilderment.

Do they have 10000 magical artifacts in their fourth district?

This is a very serious question.

Jiang Liu's eyelids twitched violently. He opened his list of sects and looked at it, his face growing darker and darker.

In his sect, there were only Golden Core stage players, not even a single Nascent Soul stage player!

If his sect is in such a state, then the other players are even worse off.

I'm stunned. Could it be that the entire region can't gather 10000 magical artifacts?

Jiang Liu looked bitter and tentatively sent a message in the chat window of the entire region.

[Jiang Liu: Buying a large quantity of spirit artifacts, some can be sent via mail with payment upon delivery!]

After sending the message, he ignored the chaotic chat window and nervously opened the email.

A few minutes later, a few scattered magical artifacts arrived by mail, each priced at over 500 million spirit stones.

I'm fucking trying to rip off rich people, aren't I?
Upon seeing this price, Jiang Liu felt a sudden pang of pain in his teeth.

This is the transaction amount paid to the player; it's a solid 500 million spirit stones, not discounted by 0.1%.

Spending 500 million spirit stones to buy a spirit weapon, am I not crazy?
Most importantly, he waited for several minutes and only a dozen or so magical artifacts were mailed to him.

The quantity and the price are so high that even a dog would shake its head in disbelief.

Perhaps there really are 10000 spirit weapons in the fourth region, but at this stage, spirit weapons are the top-tier equipment for other players.

For players in the fourth region, wearing a single magical artifact signifies being a top-tier player. Who would sell their top-tier equipment?

"It seems we can't count on the brothers from District Four."

Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly, then rummaged through his backpack, his bitter expression deepening.

He had a few hundred trashy magical artifacts in his backpack and Qiankun bag, but that was still far from enough to reach 10000 million.

He had initially thought that General Yang and Ye Longying wanted to acquire more high-grade spiritual artifacts before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, but now it seemed that might not be the case.

The Dao-rank equipment has just been made available as a drop, and only the top-tier players are qualified to possess it; other players are still wearing Spiritual weapons.

Given that magical artifacts are the mainstream equipment, their prices will inevitably be high.

Moreover, both General Yang and Ye Longying are players from the first server. If they were to buy up spirit artifacts on a large scale, it would cause the price of spirit artifacts to rise.

The total price of 10000 magical artifacts would make even the Taiyao Tribe and Taiye City hesitate for a while, right?

"I never imagined that money would be the obstacle preventing me from breaking through."

Jiang Liu gave a wry smile. If he could buy a spiritual artifact from the official sources, he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage in no time.

But even he can't afford to buy from players!
"A player needs 10000 spirit weapons to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Is the official team going to release a large number of spirit weapons?"

He frowned, muttering a guess, feeling it was very likely.

If that's the case, he probably understands why General Yang and Ye Longying didn't spend a lot of money to forcibly break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

If the authorities really intend to release a large number of magical artifacts, there is a very obvious channel for this soon.

Cross-server interaction event!

This event will release a large number of magical artifacts, turning these precious artifacts into ordinary equipment for players!
The top players use Dao artifacts, while other players use spiritual artifacts, thus eliminating magic artifacts and mystical artifacts and narrowing the gap between players!

Having deduced that the official team might release a large number of spirit artifacts during the cross-server exchange event, General Yang and Ye Longying waited in tacit agreement.

Spending a lot of money to force a breakthrough is not as practical as getting one for free.

Is the title of the number one Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire server worth hundreds of millions of spirit stones?

After figuring this out, Jiang Liu realized that he wanted the title of the number one Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire server, but he really couldn't afford to accept ten thousand spiritual artifacts.

Therefore, he could only wait, hoping to get a big drop of spiritual weapons during the cross-server exchange event and break through to the Nascent Soul stage together with General Yang, Ye Longying, and others!
After cultivating immortality for more than half a year, I'm finally about to catch up with the top players in the front server!
