This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

He knew he could run away from the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth.

The official channels can force you to buy the Storm Charm, and they can also force you to buy the Five Elements Charm.

Maximum health decreases, spiritual energy circulation speed decreases, movement speed decreases...

With all these messy negative effects hanging on you, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't stand it.

You won, Dad will buy it.

[Would you like to spend 288 spirit stones to purchase the Five Elements Protective Talisman?]

Yes, yes, yes

After maintaining his dignity as a player for a few minutes, Jiang Liu still bought all the pay-to-win items for the second phase.

This was an official victory; they successfully extracted over a dozen spirit stones from him.

The official made a killing, but he didn't lose money either.

"Damn, after the event ends I'm going to pull hundreds of magical artifacts from the gacha pool and have some fun."

Jiang Liu muttered something unpleasantly, the negative effects on his body disappeared, and he moved as if walking on flat ground in the spiritual energy storm, quickly approaching the spiritual energy crystal.

With automatic pickup, he doesn't even need to lift a finger. He just needs to get within ten meters, and the nearby spiritual crystals will fly over automatically as if they were being attracted by a magnet.

Jiang Liu kept spinning in the spiritual energy storm, and all the spiritual energy crystals spinning in the storm automatically entered his backpack.

In just a few minutes, he had taken all the spiritual crystals from the spiritual energy storm.

As it turns out, as long as you spend money, all problems are no longer problems.

In just three hours, Jiang Liu traversed more than a dozen spiritual energy storms and collected over 3000 spiritual energy crystals. With the spiritual energy crystals from the gift pack, he had already redeemed all the items he wanted.

Spiritual storm effect, Five Elements chaos effect, 999 upgrade stones, 200 enhancement stones.

After obtaining all the desired items, Jiang Liu suddenly felt that everything was utterly tasteless.

After donning the Storm Amulet and the Five Elements Amulet, he moved with ease on Moon Spirit Island, which was in a state of spiritual energy disorder. He ignored the spiritual energy storm and the chaos of the Five Elements, and freely traversed the area with the Space Warp Compass in hand.

It's boring, there's no challenge at all. Is this the sorrow of paying players?

Jiang Liu shook his head. He was too lazy to continue collecting more spiritual energy crystals. He didn't even want the other junk in the exchange shop. He might as well focus on cultivating.

Thinking about it, he randomly found a place with extremely high spiritual energy and began to meditate and cultivate.

It took three hours to use up a whole bunch of in-game items, what a rip-off...

Oh well, consider it a donation to the planners.

During the remaining time of the second phase of the event, Jiang Liu remained in a state of cultivation. The concentration of spiritual energy around him fluctuated, causing his cultivation level to rise at an extremely slow pace, which made him increasingly unhappy.

He finally understood that the second phase of this event was clearly just a money-grabbing scheme, and had no other purpose.

Forget about opening an exchange shop to give benefits to ordinary players. Just look at the state of the spiritual storm and the chaos of the five elements. Ordinary players would be lucky if they could get a healing pill from the exchange shop without spending any money.

To exchange for those high-value mid-grade magic weapons and mid-grade spells, you'd have to spend at least several hundred spirit stones to buy these two amulets.

Under the guise of welfare, they force players to spend money, requiring them to recharge before they can obtain high-value items. Cultivation Era has truly mastered this trick.

Just watch, if it's already like this in the second stage, it definitely won't be any better in the third stage.

As Jiang Liu cultivated, he sneered inwardly. He was now somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of outrageous moves the third stage would bring.

Full moon celebration event?

Full Moon In-App Purchase Event!

Chapter 101 Spiritual Energy Purification, Mystic Artifact Reward

The second phase of the "Spiritual Energy Tide" full moon celebration event, "Spiritual Energy Disorder," has ended.

The third phase, 'Reiki Purification,' will officially begin in 10 minutes.

Please visit the event page for details regarding the 'Spiritual Purification' event.

Phase Two is finally over!

When the system announcement rang out over Moon Spirit Island, even Jiang Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These past two days of the second phase have been absolutely awful!

Not only was there a storm of spiritual energy filling the screen, but the concentration of spiritual energy around us also fluctuated wildly, suddenly soaring to 1000% and then suddenly dropping to 100%.

It's one thing that the concentration of spiritual energy is unstable, but the problem is that the time it takes to decrease is much longer than the time it takes to increase, which is a bit disgusting.

In the past two days, his cultivation level has only increased by 7%, which is far slower than the first stage of cultivation.

"Good thing it's over, let this garbage event end quickly."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself as he opened the third phase of the event interface.

The third phase of the Reiki Tide event, 'Reiki Purification,' is now fully open!

[Spiritual Energy Purification: Affected by the demonic energy of the Heavenly Thunder Demon Lord, the spiritual energy storm, and the chaos of the Five Elements, the spiritual energy tides appearing on Moon Spirit Island have been polluted, with spiritual energy decreasing and turbid energy increasing.]

[Stage Quest: The Purifying Heaven Array has appeared. Defeating the turbid beasts that have appeared on Moon Spirit Island will drop Purification Stones. Use the Purification Stones to activate the Purifying Heaven Array and dispel the turbid air from the entire island.]

[Event Phase: Due to the spiritual energy storm, a crack has appeared in the space of Moon Spirit Island. The Turbid Qi Rift dungeon is now open. Defeating the boss Turbid Lord in the dungeon will reward you with a large number of purification stones, and there is a chance to obtain magical artifacts, spells, various blueprints, spiritual items, and other rare items.]

[Duration: Two days.]

The third phase of the activity is simpler; in short, it involves fighting monsters and clearing dungeons.

On the left side of the activity interface, a vertical progress bar is displayed, currently showing 0%.

On the right side of the event interface, there is a circular light array, which is currently dimmed.

Jiang Liu wasn't very interested in the event introduction. After glancing at it to understand what it was all about, he first clicked on the progress bar on the left side of the event interface.

[Turbidity: Affected by the turbid air, your own turbidity will increase by 1% per minute. When the turbidity reaches 100%, you will be automatically teleported out of Moon Spirit Island and will no longer be able to enter. Please pay close attention to your turbidity.]

[Note: Players can use purification stones to remove turbidity, or purchase purification items from the event shop to remove turbidity.]

Jiang Liu: "......"

Jiang Liu glanced at it, then glanced at it again, and looked at it several times before he was sure he wasn't seeing things.

When the turbidity reaches 100%, you will automatically leave the event map and will not be able to re-enter!

I'm shocked. Is the official team finally starting to clean up regular players?

My prestigious Full Moon event has already shown great kindness by allowing a bunch of free-to-play players to get the first two phases for free. If you're still not going to give me a single cent in the third phase, then get lost!

The turbidity increases by 1% per minute, meaning that without clearing it, players can only stay in the third phase for a maximum of 100 minutes...

That's ruthless enough.

what?

Can purifying stones remove turbidity?

Stop joking. Just take this setting with a grain of salt. If you want to stay in the third phase for two full days, you'll definitely have to buy purification items, which I don't even want to think about using.

Planner: Give me some face, freeloaders can leave now.

Freeloaders: cnm.

"It's alright, it's within expectations."

Jiang Liu was somewhat shocked when he saw the turbidity setting, but it was still within his expectations.

Not surprising at all, at least the free-to-play players also got a lot of cultivation points for free, right?

In the first phase of the event, you can at least advance to a higher level without spending a penny, and even if you leave now, you'll still have made a huge profit.

For those who want to play for free, it's best to stick to your principles and not participate in this third phase.

After reviewing the turbidity settings, Jiang Liu then opened the Purifying Sky Array on the right side of the event interface.

[Purifying Heaven Array: Not activated (Putting in a Purification Stone will activate the array)]

Activation level: 0%

Number of purification stones: 0

[Purification Ranking: Outside the top 1]

[Purification Rewards: The top 100 players in each purification ranking will receive a random high-grade magic item; the player ranked number one in each purification ranking will receive the exclusive title 'Envoy of the Purification Altar'; and the player ranked number one in purification across the entire server will receive a low-grade mystic weapon, the Grade 3 Pure Lotus.]

Jiang Liu: "!!!!!!!"

Coming, coming, coming!

The reward for the mysterious artifact has finally arrived!

When Jiang Liu saw the last part of the purification reward, his eyes widened and gleamed.

He wondered why he hadn't seen the rewards for the third phase of the event; it turned out they were placed in the Purifying Heaven Array.

The top 100 players on each server will receive high-grade magic items, the number one player will receive an exclusive title, and the number one player in the entire server will receive a low-grade mystic weapon!

Such generous rewards are more than enough to mark the end of the full moon event.

"A mystical artifact... This is the first mystical artifact in the fourth district..."

Jiang Liu murmured to himself, his heart pounding. The moment he saw the final reward, he had already decided that no matter how much of a rip-off the third phase of pay-to-win projects was, he would go all out!

I have money, I have spirit stones, so go ahead and ravage me with pay-to-win items!

Jiang Liu turned off the Cleansing Heaven Array and directly opened the shop at the bottom of the event interface.

This isn't an exchange shop, it's a pay-to-win shop.

Come on, give me some serious intensity!

Upon opening the in-game store, a dazzling array of in-game purchase items came into view, and the astonishingly large numbers made his eyes slowly widen.

【Jade Purification Pill】: Can remove 50% of one's own turbidity, priced at 98 spirit stones.

【Jade Purification Bottle】: Reduces the rate at which turbidity increases by 30% when carried. Price: 388 spirit stones.

[Advanced Jade Purification Bottle]: Reduces the rate at which turbidity increases by 100% when carried. Price: 998 spirit stones.

[Jade Purification Bottle Supreme Edition]: It will not be corroded by impure air when carried. Price: 2888 spirit stones.

Jiang Liu spotted the enormous number 2888 at a glance, his lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "You guys are really daring to sell this!"
