Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 867 - 574: Level 5 [Treasure Rock]: New Changes!

If Yan Chuan hadn't awakened the 'Purple Mist Palace' at that time, the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall would have been ruined long ago, and Cheng Fengxiao would have subsequently never recovered, perhaps even sinking into despair and dying in grief.

Yan Chuan still remembers how Cheng Fengxiao was so angry with his son and daughter that he spat blood, locked himself in a room, and in a few days looked much older.

Fortunately, he mastered the absolute skill 'Purple Mist Palace' at that time, and created the 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' which revived Cheng Fengxiao, injected new vitality into him, and brought him back to life.

Otherwise.

The consequences would have been unimaginable.

In this situation, Yan Chuan didn't really know how to deal with Cheng Wenlong and Cheng Ah Bi, these two rebellious children. Particularly Cheng Ah Bi, who even went on to bring people to storm the hall. Although it was unintentional due to youthful ignorance and being misled, actions speak louder than intentions, and this behavior was truly puzzling. Yan Chuan could still somewhat tolerate Cheng Wenlong, but with Cheng Ah Bi, he was truly speechless.

He assigned Innate Realm experts to look after their safety, only out of respect for his master and for the sake of his late master's wife.

As for anything more.

If his master didn't ask, they wouldn't take the initiative to do it.

And would Cheng Fengxiao ask?

Of course not!

"Their temperament is not suitable for martial arts training, not suitable for coming to Tan Valley Realm. Given your status in Tan Valley Realm, I'm afraid they would indulge in wanton behavior." Cheng Fengxiao shook his head, "Just have someone in Guangling City ensure their safety, hand over those assigned to me later, and I'll handle it personally. You don't have to worry about them. If these two dare to misuse your name in Great Yan, I'll break their legs and let them live their lives in comfort, and that's it."

Cheng Fengxiao was truly heartbroken at the time.

At this point, it was difficult to piece the broken mirror back together, and he had no intention of 'rising to the top', letting his children find their own blessings, allowing them to live happily and without worries, which would suffice for their relationship as father and children in this life.

That alone.

Is enough.

...

Yan Chuan's pace gradually slowed down.

Although he was teaching martial arts in the Sitting Mountain Army, in the various King City Realms controlled by Great Yan, in Tan Valley Realm, and also at White Emperor Mountain at the Cantu River, during which he also tailored martial arts for Wang Zhengyi, Cheng Fengxiao, and others, while finding time to venture into the Returning Ruins to seek treasures.

Seemingly busy.

Yet the overall pace actually slowed down.

The previous pace was quick due to having done this and then having to do that, one issue here and quickly another over there—

Heavenly Calamity.

Beast Tide.

Returning Ruins.

Looking for martial arts lectures in King City Realm.

Martial arts lectures in the Sitting Mountain Army.

'Scattering Flower Lamp' Projection Team.

'Dao Rhythm' traces.

These things came one after another, overwhelming people.

But when it all comes, when it all adapts, when there's no new issue or change, Yan Chuan's pace naturally slowed down, everything becoming more familiar, with no new upheaval, allowing Yan Chuan to feel comfortable and relaxed overall.

Ever since awakening 'Purple Mist Palace' in July of the tenth year of Great Yan Hongwu, Yan Chuan rarely had such relaxation time. Step by step, either chasing waves or being chased by waves, never resting for a moment.

Now, finally relaxed.

In such a pace.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days drifted away like sand through fingers.

Time arrived at October 20th in the twelfth year of Great Yan Hongwu.

On this day.

Experience finally accumulated to over a billion again!

[Experience: 100.58 million]

[Spiritual: 212.20 million]

...

"Finally!"

Yan Chuan exhaled deeply, full of joy.

After the successive upgrades of 'Derivation Skill' and 'Mutual Teaching and Learning', it was finally the turn of 'Treasure Rock'.

In fact, since 'Experience' first broke one billion, Yan Chuan had been holding back. What he most wanted and anticipated upgrading was 'Treasure Rock', wanting to know if a Level Five 'Treasure Rock' could solve his problem of insufficient spirituality and whether it could allow him to upgrade outdated 'Star Stone', 'White Horn Trumpet', and other miracle items to Seventh or even Eighth Rank more efficiently and economically.

Yan Chuan was curious.

Yan Chuan was expectant.

Yet he was rational, clearly aware that 'Treasure Rock' and miracle items were just there, unchanged, and with no major crisis recently, there was no rush to upgrade 'Treasure Rock'. Thus, he restrained himself, starting with upgrading 'Derivation Skill', sharpening the axe to not delay cutting wood, increasing the daily accumulation of Experience, and then upgrading 'Mutual Teaching and Learning', accelerating Yan Chuan's strength boost and accumulation speed.

Now.

It was finally the turn of 'Treasure Rock'.

Without hesitation, Yan Chuan directly invested a billion Experience into it—

['Treasure Rock' (Level Four): You can enhance item levels through 'Spiritual', nourish treasures. You can continue to enhance item levels through the fusion of appropriate materials, gaining new traits or strengthening existing ones. In the absence of appropriate materials, you can forcibly enhance item levels and nourish treasures using ten times the 'Spiritual'. You can consume ten million Spiritual to create an 'Immortal Stone' in 'Treasure Rock', placing currently unused items on 'Idle Stone' for nourishment, freeing up enhancement slots. Current number of items that can be placed: 8.]

(To upgrade to the next level requires consuming one billion Experience.) 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

...

[You can reduce Spiritual consumption by fusing more compatible materials.]

"This—"

Yan Chuan was thrilled!

What he had been worrying about all this time was the increasing Spiritual required by later miracle items, which was overwhelming. His hard-earned Spiritual accumulation was simply insufficient to strengthen too many miracle items.

Going from initial Sixth Grade to initial Seventh Rank required 65 million Spiritual.

Going from initial Seventh Rank to initial Eighth Rank required 650 million Spiritual.

And that was for just one miracle item.

Yet Yan Chuan's 'Treasure Rock' had ten miracle items, all at Eighth Rank would need about 7 billion Spiritual, who could withstand that?

But now!

After upgrading 'Treasure Rock' to Level Five, the newly added feature allowed Yan Chuan to use 'Primordial Pill' instead of 'Spiritual'—

"For example 'Star Stone', from initial Sixth Grade to initial Seventh Rank, even after finding compatible corresponding materials for fusion, it required 65 million Spiritual to enhance. But if I gather more such materials, I could reduce the Spiritual input. Gathering ten times the materials might allow enhancement with just 6.5 million Spiritual."
