Chapter 724 - 442 "Treasure Rock" Upgrades Again: New Changes!_2
This is the slowest scenario.In fact——
[Task Three: Coiling Finger Soft Sword (Geng One)]
[Task Four: Heavenly Gang Beidou Step (Geng One)]
[Task Five: White Eyebrow Eagle Claw (Geng One)]
...
[Inspiration: 100]
...
In just one day, three Geng One Absolute Skills were completed successively in R&D, experience surged by 150,000.
Millions of experience!
Instantly achieved!
...
["Treasure Rock" (Level Three): You can upgrade items’ levels through ’Spiritual’ and nourish treasures. You can fuse corresponding materials to continue upgrading item levels, gaining new traits or enhancing existing ones. You can forcefully upgrade item levels using tenfold ’Spiritual’ in the absence of corresponding materials, nurturing treasures. Current upgradable item quantity: 6.]
(To upgrade to the next level, 100 million experience is required.)
...
Millions of experiences can rescue but not save from poverty.
Yan Chuan decisively enhanced "Treasure Rock"——
["Treasure Rock" (Level Four): You can upgrade items’ levels through ’Spiritual’ and nourish treasures. You can fuse corresponding materials to continue upgrading item levels, gaining new traits or enhancing existing ones. You can forcefully upgrade item levels using tenfold ’Spiritual’ in the absence of corresponding materials, nurturing treasures. You can consume 10 million Spiritual in "Treasure Rock" to create ’Immortal Stone’, allowing unused items to be placed on ’Idle Stone’ for nourishment, freeing upgrade slots. Current storable item quantity: 8.]
(To upgrade to the next level, 1 billion experience is required.)
...
"Level Four ’Treasure Rock’!"
"New addition of ’Immortal Stone’?!"
Yan Chuan was surprised.
"Treasure Rock" had actually added a function to create ’Immortal Stone’ on top of the level four with eight slots: "This is equivalent to having two more enhancement slots on top of the eight Miracle Items!"
Yan Chuan quickly understood.
"Treasure Rock" at level four could ordinarily only enhance eight Miracle Items. Any more would require destroying existing items to make space for replacements.
For instance, previously when Yan Chuan enhanced ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’, with "Treasure Rock" at full capacity, he could only destroy ’Jiazi Tai Sui’ to make room for the ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’.
Faced with situations like the ’Sky Dome Sunset Bow’ and ’North Mansion’ before, it was a dilemma, requiring a choice between two.
But now with the ’Immortal Stone’, there’s room for maneuver.
However——
"I don’t have ten million Spiritual to create ’Immortal Stone’ right now."
"Secondly, the eight slots are temporarily sufficient after the upgrade of ’Treasure Rock’."
The dilemma Yan Chuan faced before was easily resolved after "Treasure Rock" was upgraded to level four——
[Miracle Item·North Mansion (Level 33): The treasure was damaged, and its tier fell, containing two stone rooms, each capable of hosting two people.]
(Upgradeable.)
...
"The treasure fell?"
Yan Chuan realized.
It seemed that when Tan Valley Royal City was destroyed, this ’North Mansion’ was also damaged, its power greatly reduced, and the treasure was obscured, eventually discovered by Lu Yuru and ended up in Yan Chuan’s hands.
No matter what tier this treasure was before, now in Yan Chuan’s hands, under the classification of "Treasure Rock", it’s merely Level 33, a Fourth-Rank exotic treasure, even among the Fourth Rank it’s just at the bottom.
Not considered powerful.
"Let’s upgrade it and see."
Yan Chuan wasn’t short on money——
[Miracle Item·North Mansion (Level 40): The treasure was damaged, and its tier fell, containing two stone rooms, each capable of hosting two people.]
(Upgradeable.)
...
490,000 Spiritual instantly upgraded ’Level 33 North Mansion’ to ’Level 40’, the peak of Fourth Rank.
But——
"(Upgradeable)?"
Yan Chuan was taken aback.
What is going on?
Logically, once a Miracle Item is enhanced to the peak of a certain tier, to continue upgrading, either corresponding fusion materials must be available, or tenfold Spiritual must be spent.
But ’North Mansion’, after being upgraded to Fourth Rank peak, neither had corresponding fusion materials nor required tenfold Spiritual——
"Upgradeable?!"
Yan Chuan hesitantly tried——
[Miracle Item·North Mansion (Level 41): The treasure was damaged, and its tier fell, containing four stone rooms, each capable of hosting 1 person.]
(Upgradeable.)
...
Damn it!
It really works!
...
"Could it be because ’North Mansion’ was originally a higher rank exotic treasure?"
After thinking it over, that seemed to be the only possibility.
"After all, ’Sky Dome Sunset Bow’ is also at Fourth Rank peak, but still requires tenfold Spiritual to upgrade."
In this comparison, it becomes apparent that ’North Mansion’ is special——
[Fifth Rank·White Horn Trumpet (Level 41).]
[Fifth Rank·Three-headed and Six-armed (Level 43).]
[Fifth Rank·Star Stone (Level 42).]
[Fifth Rank·Gathering Treasure Basin (Level 41).]
[Fourth Rank·Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle (Level 40).]
[Fourth Rank·Sky Dome Sunset Bow (Level 40).]
[Fifth Rank·North Mansion (Level 41).]
...
February 22, Year Twelve of Great Yan Hongwu.
"Treasure Rock" was upgraded to level four.
The number of enhanced Miracle Items increased to seven, with one slot still vacant.
The same day.
Yan Chuan gilded a mansion with tender affection——
In the ’North Mansion Four Rooms’, he brought Lu Yuru, Ding Xiang, and Wang Zhengyi’s ’Monkey King Avatar’, returning to Nanyue Lake through the ’Soul Channel’!
...
"Phew!"
"Transporting you alone is more tiring than continuously transporting a hundred Iron-Armed Monkeys!"
By the lake of Nanyue, Wang Zhengyi’s ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ gasped with its mouth wide open and tongue out.
Yan Chuan could only smile: "Sorry, sorry."
"Forget it! Forget it!" Wang Zhengyi shook his head: "I know you’re not alone now; you have more Fifth-Rank Treasures than the hairs of an ox, carrying my ’Monkey King Avatar’ and Lu Yu along with Ding Xiang, among whom Ding Xiang is also an Innate, the pressure is considerable, I understand."
Wang Zhengyi’s ’Soul Channel’ can transport both inanimate and living entities, where the higher the item’s grade, the stronger the Primordial Qi, and the heavier the transport burden. Similarly, the higher a person’s cultivation, internal force, and True Qi, the greater the pressure.
Yan Chuan seemed alone, but in reality, he carried numerous Fifth-Rank exotic treasures, was himself an Innate, and carried ’Monkey King Avatar’ and ’Ding Xiang’, both Innates, in the ’North Mansion Four Rooms’.
The pressure is immense!
Totally normal!
"Understanding is enduring!" Yan Chuan cupped his fists towards Wang Zhengyi and then chatted casually: "Earlier at Tiger Hunting Land, I didn’t have the chance to chat more with your main body, now that I have time, I’m curious to ask, have the Iron-Arm Monkey Group been fully transported?"
On the sixth of February, Yan Chuan fought against Fu Yuanshan, the Second-Rank God General of the Fu Family, in Nanxiong City, offending the city lord Fu Xixiang, and was investigated by Fu Family’s Third-Rank Divine General Fu Huan. After fleeing, he arrived at Nanyue Lake and returned to Tan Valley Royal City through Wang Zhengyi’s ’Soul Channel’.
It was on that very day when Wang Zhengyi began transferring the Iron-Arm Monkey Group.
However, the vast Nanyue Lake housed over 4,000 Iron-Arm Monkeys, transportation required time, and there were limits to energy——
"I transported 300 Iron-Arm Monkeys daily, hurrying tirelessly, it took nearly half a month to fully transfer the Iron-Arm Monkey Group. Luckily, Nanyue Lake has many mountains and rivers as natural barriers. Since you left, numerous Innate have been coming and going from Nanyue Lake, but thankfully, the Iron-Arm Monkey Group dispersed and hid early on, thus avoiding disaster." Wang Zhengyi expressed some fear, but also relief.
Even Yan Chuan found it incredible: "Over 4,000 Iron-Arm Monkeys completely transferred in less than half a month, from Hunxi Royal City to Tan Valley Royal City, through mountains and waters, unbelievable!"
The ability was indeed remarkable.
Wang Zhengyi grinned: "Alright! No need for flattery between us, you came just in time, let me ask, can you still burst forth under water after battling a Second-Rank God General in Nanxiong City? Is the cost high?"
"Under the water——" Yan Chuan was about to say it’s not feasible underwater but quickly realized: "Underwater is not a problem."
He had ’three Hao hairs’, capable of Fire Protection and Water Repelling, making him move as if on land, not affected at all.
As for the cost of bursting——
"It’s not significant."
Also benefiting from the ’three Hao hairs’ behind his head, Yan Chuan could condense a ’Divine Light True Seed’ daily. After the battle in Nanxiong City, over half a month had passed, and Yan Chuan formed 17 more ’Divine Light True Seeds’, in addition to 7 remaining after exploding 8 during the encounters with Fu Yuanshan and escaping Fu Xixiang, totaling 24!
And he could burst forth!
The ’Nine Yang True Seed’ was more precious, requiring one ’Fire Bud Crystal’ to refine each ’Nine Yang True Seed’. He had exploded 4 in Nanxiong City, leaving 2, and over half a month back in Tan Valley Royal City, he refined 7 ’Fire Bud Crystals’ and formed 7 more ’Divine Light True Seeds’.
Therefore——
"24 ’Divine Light True Seeds’.
"9 ’Nine Yang True Seeds’.
Yan Chuan could indeed burst forth, looking at Wang Zhengyi: "Is there anything you need help with?"
Wang Zhengyi’s Alligator Beast Avatar tilted its head with a sinister smile: "You forgot! There are still Fire Bud Crystals underwater!"
