"What’s up? You want to try this kind of strengthening?" Du Gang asked with a chuckle.
"Aren’t you interested?" Zheng Yichen countered.
Du Gang nodded his head: "Of course, I’m interested. It’s just too expensive... especially as an individual’s strength increases."
Unity of Heaven and Man is all well and good, but consuming over five hundred rit points additionally makes it tough to stomach.
Zheng Yichen’s strengthening from Dusk required five hundred rit points, and he needs even more. Or to put it another way, everyone’s standard for strengthening is different. Why such a difference arises naturally depends on the person.
So people may inherently possess unique affinities, thus significantly reducing the cost during strengthening, while those without such affinities need to consu more rit points when they do so.
Dusk can make the impossible possible, but there is a charge for it.
If soone tries to undergo strengthening using this thing, and Dusk only charges fifty or even fewer rit points, it ans that the person doesn’t need this kind of strengthening. With a bit of effort, they can easily achieve Unity of Heaven and Man.
Although this effort might take decades or even longer, compared to those who start at five hundred, isn’t that easy?
At least it is achievable, whereas those people will never reach that level in their lifetis, unless with the help of Dusk.
But there’s no money.
In Du Gang’s view, Zheng Yichen starting at five hundred rit points is already considered good. He himself would need seven hundred rit points to undergo such strengthening.
"So, does that an I’m fairly outstanding?"
"Cough cough, you could say you’re just about making the cut," Du Gang coughed lightly and did not put it too gently: "Most people start at five hundred, with a few more tens or hundreds on top. Anyway, as far as I know, no one starts below five hundred."
Zheng Yichen nodded, gaining new knowledge. And what Du Gang said made sense; after he eliminated so Devourers who made extensive use of Sky Pillar’s energy, the cost of Sky Pillar crystal strengthening at Dusk decreased.
This indicates that he has acquired an affinity he once did not have through his extraordinary abilities, reducing the related strengthening costs. As for the Innate strengthening that only requires a few tens of rit points ntioned by Du Gang...
Zheng Yichen thought for a mont, then simply gave up. If he could really reduce the cost of rit points to that extent, why bother with strengthening at all? Why not just kill more Devourers?
"This is also an opportunity for , leave the tough fighters to ."
"Look at you talk. If you really go over to their side, there will be too many capable fighters. Even if you take them all on, you can’t resolve them all."
The corners of Du Gang’s mouth turned down slightly: "This place isn’t the Great World."
"Hahaha, that’s true."
Zheng Yichen laughed and continued chatting with Du Gang. From outside, the occasional strong bursts of explosions were heard, but people here were used to it; the war around the Sky Pillar was extrely intense.
The Devouring Faction is continuously sending out cannon fodder and local forces to tangle with one another.
In the small room, Liu Hongzhao and the others continued their cultivation, digesting the recent gains, while the blood qi refined by the Blood Asura gave them a slight influence of the Sky Pillar’s energy.
For ordinary beings, such influence would be enough to turn them into Crystal-like entities. They, with their Supre Demon traits, can withstand a bit of the influence brought by the Sky Pillar’s energy.
Having withstood such influences, what remained were the benefits, such as the enhancent of their Inner Strength quality by the Sky Pillar’s energy, and the routinely manifested characteristic of the incomplete Unity of Heaven and Man trait is... affinity.
It can be said that the incomplete Unity of Heaven and Man trait exists in many aspects and can be found as long as one pays attention. The innately high Elental affinity in the world of magic also counts as a related trait.
This enhancent significantly improves them. Of course, the most important is the improvent in attack quality, which is most directly reflected in the effectiveness of the attacks.
"We should really find a place to seclude ourselves for so ti," Qi Xiangyun said after getting rid of the stiffness in her limbs, looking at the thunder and lightning that appeared on her palms—which crackled as they touched the air.
She could directly feel the intensity of her thunder and lightning had increased significantly. Compared to her forr self, with the sa output, her current thunder and lightning could slowly consu the thunder and lightning released by her forr self.
Improvents accomplished with half the effort.
"Rember to activate your equipnt during the next cultivation," said Liu Hongzhao, opening her eyes which had been closed, and taking her weapon that was placed beside her: "This will allow us to refine more of Brother Chang Qing’s blood."
"The way you put it sounds like you’re a sorceress," Lin Yaoyao gave Liu Hongzhao a glance: "It’s the blood given by Brother Chang Qing."
"It’s all the sa," Liu Hongzhao stood up, opened the door, and went out to find Zheng Yichen. By this ti, Zheng Yichen’s previously pale condition had already aliorated significantly.
Before, he lacked the ability and could only release the energy from the Sky Pillar crystal through battle. Now it’s different. His combat power does not entirely depend on the Blood Asura, yet he never neglected the cultivation of the Blood Asura.
And the Ice Heart Mantra, even more so valued by Zheng Yichen, played a significant role in resisting the influence of demonic thoughts, in addition to his own spirit.
While chatting with Du Gang, Zheng Yichen was also digesting the Sky Pillar’s energy acquired through consumption. Although the retained portion wasn’t large, it was still better than not retaining any at all, right?
But this efficiency was really low, far inferior to directly killing a Devourer that heavily utilized the Sky Pillar’s energy. But that’s cultivation... it’s rare to make rapid progress overnight.
"Do we have enough ti?" Zheng Yichen asked Du Gang.
"Hmm... at least twenty more hours," Du Gang said as he stood up. While they were chatting, there were continuously reports of battles being brought to them, but now that Zheng Yichen had business to attend to, he wouldn’t just idle away the ti here.
"Okay."
Zheng Yichen calculated the ti. Twenty hours, plus digestion ti, would be enough for Liu Hongzhao and the others to undergo another round of cultivation, maybe even two, but there was no need to rush it.
Unless they were not going to participate in the subsequent battles.
One more round should suffice.
As Zheng Yichen has already digested so of the Sky Pillar’s energy, this would make the cultivation for Liu Hongzhao and the others a bit easier, but the result would be the sa.
The Sky Pillar’s energy contained in his blood is reduced, the quality has not changed, refining more would still be too much for them to bear.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the battle outside the base beca more intense, even affecting this temporary base, repelling several waves of invading Devourers.
There were also quite a few casualties here, and as the intensity of the battle increased, the Dusk rcenaries originally at this location left one after another. Yet in this day’s ti, the influence of the Devouring Sky Pillar on this world has not increased much!
This is the result of the local forces together with the Dusk rcenaries resisting.
