System's Super Sect-Chapter 635 - 632. The first Flower White Crystal improves power
"Elder Yu, what are you doing?"
Yun Liao couldn’t help but laugh.
"Just testing this brick." He’s seen all sorts of celestial materials, but none like this.
It looks like a bluestone slab, but it’s not.
If it were a bluestone slab, with just two steps, it would definitely shatter into countless pieces.
Yun Liao shook his head helplessly, "Let’s go, follow me."
"Elder Yun, you go ahead... having experienced life and death, I have a lot to reflect on, and I want to quietly digest it."
"Alright then."
Since Yu Jiang wasn’t interested in watching dramas, he wouldn’t insist.
...
Meanwhile, Wen Ping watched everyone enter the Viewing Room and then went alone to Medicine Mountain.
He wanted to check on his Immortal Tree—said to provide ten times the Divine Wood’s Wood Qi upon maturity.
Upon reaching Medicine Mountain, he found Red-eyed Giant Ape, Hei Ze, and Ling Yun gathered around a small mound of earth.
Around them were 19 identical mounds.
At the top of these mounds, two inconspicuous sprouts could be seen emerging from the soil. What drew Wen Ping’s attention was their visible speed of unfolding leaves and continuous upward growth. Such growth speed was daunting to behold.
"Sect Leader!"
Hearing footsteps, the three quickly turned around.
"Return to Yunlan Mountain." Wen Ping needed quiet to operate the Changmo Technique here.
"Yes..."
The three nodded and left promptly.
Once they had gone, Wen Ping began to operate the Changmo Technique, which had been restless since he arrived at Medicine Mountain. As soon as he started, he could feel the power within him involuntarily practice with the saplings of the Immortal Tree—entirely unlike the comfortable Wood Qi provided by the Jianmu, this Wood Qi entered his body.
This Wood Qi carried an aura of immortality.
Wen Ping seemingly saw a sea, an island, and the eternally immortal tree on the island!
That sea, calm and vast.
That island, lonely and still.
That tree, towering and eternal.
"It certainly lives up to the name ’Immortal Sect’." Feeling this aura of immortality, Wen Ping thought of the words "Immortal Sect".
The immortal tree was planted here.
This truly gave the Immortal Sect something immortal in essence.
Just then, a voice suddenly came to his ear.
"Host, consider this a friendly reminder: there’s only three days left. You might want to hasten the opening of your meridians to enter this world’s so-called Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm, as you’re going to a place of dragons and tigers. Perhaps, once you’ve opened the meridians to the Gathering Spirit Meridian Gate, you’ll be much safer in completing your mission."
"It’s the first time you’ve reminded me to enhance my power!"
"Considering the influence of the Hundred Sects Alliance on this journey, the system chose to remind you kindly to avoid changing a host if possible." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"That’s true, the first mission of this journey is heading to the Thousand Mechanism Lake. Thousand Mechanism Lake is the real headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance. Taking disciples there to challenge them is indeed dangerous... But, it’s easy for you to say. The Jianmu Forest can’t possibly let me open my meridians in three days. As for these twenty Immortal Trees, they just sprouted, and it’s even less possible."
"The host seems to have forgotten the original use of White Crystal in this world."
"No... I’m not that extravagant."
In this world, White Crystal serves as both currency and essential for cultivation.
Why would noble families seize White Crystal Ore?
It’s all for acquiring cultivation resources—White Crystal.
If the system hadn’t forbidden owning vassals, including White Crystal Ore, he would have set his eyes on occupying East Lake’s White Crystal Ore long ago.
Though the yield isn’t high, he believes it could eventually produce a thousand or two thousand White Crystals.
Hearing Wen Ping’s words, the system responded blandly, "The decision lies with you, but in the event of an accident, I can simply find another host."
"I..."
Wen Ping was speechless.
The thought of cultivating using White Crystals pained him!
This was hard-earned money!
Others brought it to him bit by bit!
But the system’s first reminder to increase his power unnerved him.
Perhaps Thousand Mechanism Lake is more dangerous than he imagined.
Forget it!
He’d be extravagant just once.
After all, there’s still over a thousand White Crystals.
Opening a meridian won’t use them all up.
Once decided, Wen Ping turned and headed to Tingyu Pavilion. After closing the door, he took out 200 White Crystals and spread them on the ground.
Gazing at the pile of White Crystals around him, Wen Ping quickly operated the Changmo Technique.
"In the end, I’ve taken this step..." The thought of hundreds of White Crystals vanishing pained his heart.
Based on the sect’s current income, hundreds of White Crystals would take a month to earn.
Though it seemed profitable now with the Viewing Room.
Popcorn.
Colas.
They all could earn plenty of White Crystals.
But after all, there weren’t many extravagant people in the Immortal Sect.
The next moment, Changmo Technique started consuming forcefully.
Around Wen Ping, it seemed like a black hole formed, and the milky-white energy from the White Crystals poured into his body.
As it entered his body, this energy was immediately converted by Changmo Technique, purified, and transformed into purer energy rushing toward Wen Ping’s chest—where the Gathering Spirit Meridian Gate was located.
Through these days, Wen Ping had actually opened some of his meridians.
As soon as the energy from the White Crystals entered, "this path" began to extend again.
This efficiency was much faster than absorbing Wood Qi.
However, in just a short time, less than half a quarter-hour, the progress abruptly halted.
Wen Ping was stunned. Opening his eyes, he saw the milky-white White Crystals around him had turned transparent. Wen Ping knew clearly what this meant. It meant the energy within these White Crystals had been completely drained by him.
Helplessly, Wen Ping had to take out another 500 White Crystals.
Bearing the pain in his heart, Wen Ping continued to operate Changmo Technique, absorbing energy from the White Crystals.
The rapid meridian-opening process began again.
This time, the high-efficiency process lasted a quarter-hour.
After a quarter-hour, Wen Ping opened his eyes and felt the meridian that was only half opened.
He was stunned!
"Why am I wasting White Crystals like this?"
"System, wasn’t cultivating Changmo Technique supposed to have no barrier?"
The system explained, "Indeed, the host has no barrier. But Mountain Suppression Realm is unlike Divine Profound Realm. Reaching Upper Realm means entering the next realm directly. Since the host’s Changmo Technique is an Earth Level Technique, it brings the host immense power, which requires more energy for realm advancement. Generally, a Divine Profound Upper Realm requires 500 White Crystals to open meridians and another 1000 to have a chance to break through to Mountain Suppression Realm. Innate Anomaly Vein in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression requires twice as many White Crystals. The host possesses two Innate Anomaly Veins and has an Earth Level Technique, which naturally requires more."
"My meridians are already half-opened with Wood Qi. I’ve spent 700 White Crystals, yet only increased by a quarter. Doesn’t that mean I have to spend another 700?"
Spending White Crystals like this would leave the Storage Ring empty.
He had planned to use these days’ journey to enhance two sect buildings.
When he returned from the journey, he would just sit back and wait for results.
Now it seems...
The plan isn’t feasible.
