Chapter 156 - (Double - ) (Part 4)
Chapter 156 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" opens showing suspense: Damn it, I forgot I spent all my merit points exchanging for Earth Core Lava..."Fellow... Continue the adventure!
Damn it, I forgot I spent all my merit points exchanging for Earth Core Lava..."Fellow Daoist, can I use Spirit Stones to trade for merit points?" Ji Yuan said with an awkward smile.
"Of course you can."
When posting a quest, you can use Spirit Stones to exchange for merit points, but the price... The duty cultivator smiled, "Youâre short 500 merit points, which means youâll need 1,500 low-grade Spirit Stones."
Three to one.
Fuck!
Black Heart Water Dragon Sect.
Ji Yuan grit his teeth and handed over 15 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
But then he thought, if those 15 Spirit Stones can get him the Illusion Heart Flower, itâs all just small stuff, and if he canât buy it, he can get a refund.
As for refunds, the Water Dragon Sect doesnât charge interest.
After posting the quest, Ji Yuan took his voucher and left.
This time, he didnât even bother going back to Chulong Island. He rushed straight to Mist Islandâhe couldnât wait even half a moment for the Pigsty upgrade.
This time, when Ji Yuan came back, the Big Toad didnât run around but lay obediently on Mist Island, drooling at the Spirit Pigs.
As for those dozen-plus Spirit Pigs, being stared down by a tier two Demon Beast, they didnât dare move an inch.
A few of the more timid ones had even fainted from fear, collapsing on the ground.
The Big Toad saw Ji Yuan return and croaked a few timesâ"gwaa gwaaâ"
It was like it was swearing it hadnât stolen any food.
Ever since Ji Yuan saved it last time, itâs been even more obedient.
Normally, whatever Ji Yuan tells it to do, itâll do. No complaints at all.
First off, Ji Yuan let Tu Yue out, telling her to tidy up the various buildings.
As for himself, he couldnât wait to check the panel.
This was the current level of the .
Each Spirit Pig produces one "Quenching Acupoint Pearl."
The human body has 361 acupoints, so to refine your entire body to perfection, youâd need to raise...361 Pigs!
At this rate, you might as well turn the whole Mist Island into a .
The "Runyu Fat" produced every month is a key ingredient for repairing Magical Treasures.
Ji Yuan had already asked around; one tael of Runyu Fat goes for about 15 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
By that math, a single building can yield 15 mid-grade Spirit Stones a month in profit...at minimum!
Once the Pigsty gets to level 3, the level 2 benefits donât disappear.
So you still get half a tael of Blood Essence every day, yet another steady source of income.
Staring at the panelâs spirit effects, Ji Yuan just got more and more tempted. Without hesitation, he reached into the Storage Bag and pulled out 40 mid-grade Spirit Stones, plus those 5 jin of Earth Core Lava.
The instant all those Spirit Stones came out, the surrounding Spiritual Qi thickened noticeably.
As for the 5 jin of Earth Core Lava...that was in a special Jade Bottle, but even so, the bottle was burning red-hot and see-through, you could see the lava inside flowing like molten syrup.
Ji Yuan didnât dare touch it directly; he had to use Artifact Manipulation Technique.
All the Spirit Pigs had already been herded elsewhere by Tu Yue, so now Ji Yuan just had to focus and choose...upgrade!
As soon as he activated his heart thought, the pile of Spirit Stones on the ground began to slowly dissolve.
The Earth Core Lava in the Jade Bottle also faded before his eyes, and the biggest change was in the Pigstyâs ground itself.
Originally just plain old dirt, now endless cracks spread out, each one packed with flowing magma inside.
An unbearable heat surged toward him.
The level 3 didnât feel like it was on an island anymoreâit felt more like a volcanic crater.
This is what a level 3 looks like? Ji Yuan looked at the drastic changes to his turf, thought for a second, and decided to deactivate the building effect.
It looked awesome, sure, but it was a bit too eye-catching.
For flashy, useless things like that, Ji Yuan never bothered.
Compared to all this, he was way more curious what kind of magical effect a level 4 might have.
