Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 859 - 348: Lifebound Flying Sword Complete! Purple Sky Divine Thunder Unleashed!

The current Level 3[Celestial Craft Square]already has three Spirit Effects.

One is the regular Spirit Effect that increases the success rate of the four paths of ”Pill Array Talisman Artifact.”

The second is the ”Great Spirit Effect” that combines the original four buildings.

The third is[Heavenly Craft Creation]: once you get started in any of the four major crafts—Pills, Arrays, Talismans, Artifacts—you immediately become proficient.

If you break it down carefully, this already counts as six Spirit Effects.

So this Level 4[Celestial Craft Square]shouldn’t be too shabby, right.

With all kinds of thoughts in mind, Ji Yuan looked at the panel.

[Celestial Craft Square: lv4 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Tier One success rate +80%, Tier Two success rate +60%, Tier Three success rate +40%, Tier Four success rate +20%, Tier Five success rate +5%.]

[Spirit Effect 2: Automatically obtain the four major Spirit Effects ”Celestial Essence Talisman,” ”Spiritual Profound Infant,” ”Spirit Candle Infant Fire,” and ”Qimen Bagua.”]

[Spirit Effect 3 (Creation Heavenly Craft): Once you obtain a complete inheritance in any of the four crafts of Pill Array Talisman Artifact, you may enter the Celestial Craft Domain to comprehend Creation until you reach entry level.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Cultivation reaches Nascent Soul Stage; Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×50,000; Celestial Essence Tree resin ×1 tael; Lapis Lazuli ×1 piece; Spirit Candle Fruit ×1; Transformed Demon Beast Soul ×1; Tier Four Demon Pill ×1. (Not fulfilled)]

Ji Yuan read through all these Spirit Effects and Upgrade Conditions from top to bottom.

And his first reaction was—too many infants.

Whether it was the ”Spiritual Profound Infant” and ”Spirit Candle Infant Fire” in Spirit Effect 2, or the ”Nascent Soul Stage” in the Upgrade Conditions,

they all made it clear that this Level 4[Celestial Craft Square]was prepared for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

There’s nothing much to say about Spirit Effect 1; the success rate bonus already goes up to Tier Five.

Tier Five corresponds to stuff only a Divinity Transformation Cultivator can use. For him, who’s currently barely at Core Formation, that’s still far off; but on second thought, this Level 4 building is something only a Nascent Soul Cultivator can upgrade and use in the first place.

Reaching one level higher and brushing against the Divinity Transformation Stage is perfectly normal.

As for the Spirit Effects.

The four Spirit Effects under Spirit Effect 2 were all flashing with blue light. When Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense touched them, he immediately learned their effects.

Celestial Essence Talisman: a Divine Talisman drawn using Celestial Essence Tree resin supplemented with a Transformed-stage Demon Beast Soul, and can only be used by Nascent Soul Cultivators. As for the effect, once activated, it can attach that Transformed-stage Demon Beast’s soul to the Nascent Soul Cultivator, greatly enhancing the Nascent Soul Cultivator’s strength.

This thing, even in the hands of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator with many tricks, still counts as a major trump card.

That inevitably made Ji Yuan think of his[Wine Cellar].

Once[Wine Cellar]reaches Level 4, it can obtain Nine Nether Burning Life Brew; one sip burns fifty years of lifespan and forcibly raises your cultivation by one whole realm. Even for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it’s still a huge trump card.

It’s just that the Upgrade Condition... requires mastering the brewing methods of 20 kinds of Spirit Wine. Though Ji Yuan hadn’t forgotten this over the years, he had indeed slacked off a bit.

Because Ji Yuan felt that even if he obtained this Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, he wouldn’t use this method unless it was a life-and-death crisis... since it burns fifty years of lifespan.

For a Cultivator, what is the most precious thing?

Without a doubt, it’s lifespan.

But after coming to the Jiyuan Continent and learning more, Ji Yuan realized his thinking had indeed changed somewhat.

The realm differences within the Core Formation Stage didn’t matter that much to Ji Yuan, but the Nascent Soul Stage is a whole different story.

From the information Ji Yuan had learned, leaving aside differences like Mid-stage Nascent Soul and Late-stage Nascent Soul,

those realm gaps are enormous, and for a Cultivator, they’re very hard to make up for just with tricks.

”A realm higher crushes you to death”—that’s exactly what it means.

And even between Mid-stage Nascent Soul and Mid-stage Nascent Soul, there are still differences.

There’s ”just entered Mid-stage Nascent Soul,” and also things like ”Mid-stage Nascent Soul peak.”

All of this shows that realm gaps after the Nascent Soul Stage are enormous.

From this you can see just how precious this ”Nine Nether Burning Life Brew” is.

Once it’s taken out, it will definitely make those Nascent Soul Monsters fight over it.

For a Nascent Soul Monster, Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is like a strategic nuclear missile.

You may never use it, but you can’t not have it.

Once a Nascent Soul Cultivator really flies into a rage, they can take this thing out and shout:

”Could it be you want to taste whether my Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is mellow?!”

Then the Nascent Soul Monster opposite him also takes out a jug and shouts just as loudly, ”My Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is no less mellow!”

Just imagining that scene made Ji Yuan involuntarily let out a ”jie jie jie” laugh.

Do it!

To upgrade the[Wine Cellar]he needs to master at least 20 Spirit Wine brewing methods. Ji Yuan thought back; right now he’d already mastered 14 or 15 types.

If he pushes a bit harder, this[Wine Cellar]can be upgraded soon; once the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is in hand... it’ll be the same for him: he can choose not to use it, but he absolutely must have it.

Especially if he drinks a mouthful at the Peak of Golden Core and directly gains Nascent Soul Monster-level combat power—wouldn’t that be a total field wipe?

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan wished he could go brew a few jugs right now.

He’d thought a bit too far ahead; coming back to the present, the Celestial Essence Talisman is indeed a good thing.

Then what about this ”Spiritual Profound Infant”?

With a slight probe, Ji Yuan quickly learned the function of this Spirit Effect as well.

What Spiritual Profound Infant contains is a Pill Recipe, named ”Profound Infant Pill.” The Elixir’s effect is simple: it can increase Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

If this thing were refined, wouldn’t it become hard currency among Nascent Soul Monsters?

Ji Yuan didn’t know whether the Nascent Soul Monsters nowadays had Profound Infant Pills on hand, but he did know that he’d most likely have some in the future.
