Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

Shen Hua was unaware that other players were talking about him.

However, the value of the treasure in his hand was roughly equivalent to a sack of mid-grade spirit stones.

Half an hour later, he emerged from the soil on the other side of Yunxia Mountain.

He found a clean patch of grass to sit down, and looking at the cyan stone in his hand that was brimming with spiritual energy, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

【Mica Crystal】

Attribute: Earth

Quality: Tiangong

Note: These are byproducts of spirit ore and are mostly found in large spirit ore veins.

……

The item information is very simple.

But this mica crystal is a genuine top-tier earth-based material!

This material is extremely difficult to obtain; it is almost impossible to buy it on the market unless you dig it yourself.

It's definitely not available in the major markets.

Even the treasure vault of a top-tier sect like Taiping Sect might not have it, and even if it did, it would require an enormous amount of contribution points to exchange for it.

Aside from that, such treasures can only be seen occasionally at private trading events among Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage experts.

The quality of the mica crystal is also top-tier, just like the spirit candle grass.

In terms of value, it is similar to the Spirit Candle Grass, probably worth three or four thousand spirit stones.

Shen Hua still remembered something from his past life: a player once dug up a piece of spirit stone in the Cloud Mine, handed it over to the sect, and received a reward of a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This incident caused quite a stir in the game at the time, drawing envy from countless people.

Because he remembered this incident from his past life, he set off to search for it twenty days ago.

However, since the mystic crystal is buried deep underground, aimless digging is simply not feasible.

Fortunately, Shen Hua was prepared.

He went to the sect's Beast Bureau in advance to rent a Treasure-Hunting Rat.

As the name suggests, treasure-hunting rats are small spiritual beasts specifically designed to search for treasures; they will burrow into places where spiritual energy is abundant.

For treasures like mica crystals, which are buried but have a particularly rich spiritual energy, the effect is surprisingly good!

The rental price for the Treasure-Hunting Rat is extremely high. At 5 low-grade spirit stones per day, even someone as wealthy as Shen Hua finds it painful.

However, the effect was surprisingly good. Most of the mica crystals that could be found were thanks to the treasure-hunting rats!

"But anyway, we finally got our hands on the Mica Crystal!"

Sitting on the grass, Shen Hua held up the Xuanjing crystal to the sunlight. The crystal was crystal clear and bright. Because it had just been unearthed, the crystal exuded a rich spiritual energy.

What pleased him even more was that, because of the special circumstances this time, he did not have to make offerings.

Once you find mica crystal, it's yours.

Otherwise, he would have to hand over two thousand low-grade spirit stones to the sect.

Even the sect might not give it to him. Perhaps before he even found the mica crystal, the mine tunnel had already been taken over by the sect due to its rich spiritual energy.

……

The uses of mica crystals are quite diverse.

Its most basic use is, of course, for crafting earth-based magical artifacts. When combined with high-grade auxiliary materials, these artifacts can be crafted to the highest quality.

But Shen Hua knew that this thing had another use.

Moreover, this use is crucial to me—it's for harmonizing my spiritual roots!

This is an essential ingredient for achieving the legendary "perfect five spiritual roots"!

In the game, besides the Heavenly Spiritual Root, True Spiritual Root, and Miscellaneous Spiritual Root, there is another extremely special spiritual root, which is the Perfect Five Spiritual Root.

Each player's spiritual root has five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The sum of these five attributes is 100 points.

A perfect five-elemental root means that each of the five attributes has exactly 20 points.

Because each spiritual root has the same value, and the five elements interact and support each other, it is easy to form a self-consistent cycle.

With the right cultivation techniques, the cultivation speed of a perfect five spiritual roots is no less than that of a heavenly spiritual root!

Of course, it is still slightly inferior to Wang Yun's 98% high-purity Heavenly Spirit Root.

However, compared to a Heavenly Spiritual Root with a single attribute of around 90%, its cultivation speed is in no way inferior!

Moreover, this spiritual root has a unique advantage: it can cast spells of all attributes!

A cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root can only use spells of a single attribute, but a cultivator with a Perfect Five Spiritual Root can master all five elements of spells.

Within the same realm, a cultivator with perfect five spiritual roots has almost no rivals.

In some ways, the perfect five spiritual roots are the best spiritual roots!

However, this kind of spiritual root is extremely rare.

Even without other influencing factors, based solely on mathematical probability, the probability of each of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) having exactly 20 points is 1 in 3,760,000.

Based on probability, out of 14 billion players on the entire server, there are only 372 such players.

Moreover, these people need to find matching techniques to stand out from the crowd, which makes it even rarer for them to succeed.

But Shen Hua knew that a perfect spiritual root of the five elements could be achieved through "medicinal bath harmonization," and every player with a mixed spiritual root could achieve this.

However, the conditions for medicinal baths are extremely demanding, and the materials used alone are incredibly precious!

There are five main ingredients for the medicinal bath: the thousand-year-old gilded vine (metal element), the thousand-year-old sacred heart wood (wood element), the thousand-year-old mysterious ice flower (water element), the thousand-year-old red essence mushroom (fire element), and the mica crystal (earth element).

Mica crystal must also be of purple-quality.

Shen Hua has the highest wood elemental attribute, so there's no need to use the Thousand-Year Sacred Heart Wood when taking a medicinal bath; the remaining four main ingredients are sufficient.

However, all four of these main materials are extremely precious, and each piece is priceless and unavailable for sale!

We have already acquired the Mica Crystal, but we are still unsure about the Gilded Vine, the Mystic Ice Flower, and the Crimson Essence Ganoderma.

But once he gathers all the materials to harmonize his spiritual root, his strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap!

In terms of cultivation, he has already improved the external conditions for cultivation to the extreme. No one's cultivation conditions are better than his. The only thing that is holding him back is his innate mixed spiritual root.

If one's spiritual root can be transformed, not only will the cultivation speed increase significantly, but the breakthrough to the Core Formation and Nascent Soul realms will also be much smoother in the future!

"But where can we find the remaining materials?" Shen Hua stood up, mounted his chestnut pony, and headed towards the sect.

After much deliberation, he made up his mind: "I should go back to the sect's treasure pavilion first!"

At this stage, the highest-level treasures he can access are only those in the sect's treasure pavilion. He'll try his luck there first.

If not, he will make further plans.

……

On the way, the chestnut horse had only run a few miles.

At this moment, Shen Hua suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, I haven't checked the storage bag of that late-stage Qi Refining cultivator yet!"

When he used the Earth Escape Talisman to escape, he casually took the other party's storage bag. He was busy traveling and didn't have time to look through it.

Shen Hua thought to himself, "This person's storage bag definitely contains good things; at least one high-grade magic artifact!"

That late-stage Qi Refining cultivator was ambushed and killed instantly. He never used his magic weapon until his death, so it must have been safely stored in his storage bag.

Therefore, the harvest this time must be substantial.

Shen Hua thought for a moment, then reached out and opened the storage bag.

However, the moment he opened it, his eyes lit up with surprise and delight: "My God, there's actually a talisman treasure?!"
