The thatched hut replied, "You can choose to continue upgrading, but that won't allow them to reach Foundation Establishnt. Instead, it will continue to improve their aptitude!"
Xu Ning asked, "If I keep upgrading them, and the speed keeps up, will they never be able to reach Foundation Establishnt?"
The thatched hut said, "Theoretically, yes."
Xu Ning asked, "What are the benefits of doing that?"
The thatched hut said, "There aren't any benefits. It just keeps strengthening their foundation. And since you've already reached Supre Foundation Establishnt, no matter how good their foundation is, they'll only ever reach Divine-grade Foundation Establishnt! Although increasing their foundation will make them stronger within the Divine-grade, this is the sa in the later stages through upgrades."
Xu Ning said, "Fine then. I'll focus all my efforts on helping them reach Foundation Establishnt!"
Fortunately, Xu Ning still had a hundred Spirit-grade Divine-grade spirit fields, which could be used to grow a large number of Divine-grade spiritual herbs to help them improve their cultivation.
In the following two days, Luo Xiu sent over a large amount of resources.
This batch of resources could be said to be the largest quantity that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion could currently purchase. In all the places that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's influence could reach, the Yuan-grade resources were basically all purchased.
However, similarly, the spirit stones accumulated by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion over the past hundred years were also completely exhausted.
Faced with the choice between upgrading the spiritual spring and the resources, Xu Ning ultimately chose the resources.
After receiving the resources, Xu Ning began a massive upgrade, essentially upgrading all items to the highest Yuan-level quality, nearly exhausting all the resources.
On the Great Elder Peak, Xu Ning sat in the courtyard outside the thatched hut, inquiring about the changes after the upgrades.
First was the thatched hut. Reaching the highest Yuan-level quality significantly improved its defense and attack capabilities. Coupled with its supre aura, even ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators would be instantly killed, and even those at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage would fare poorly.
Secondly, there was the speed of accumulating spiritual energy. If it were to absorb unchecked, the entire Tiancheng Sect could probably be drained dry in less than two years.
Of course, this was only theoretical. Xu Ning couldn't allow the thatched hut to absorb unchecked—that would be utterly pointless.
Moreover, the Tiancheng Sect possessed a legendary Yuan-level spirit-gathering array, providing endurance, so the thatched hut couldn't truly drain it dry.
Xu Ning instructed the thatched hut to absorb at a discreet pace, storing the energy for his journey to the mortal realm.
At the sa ti, this was also to prepare for the production of spirit stones after reaching the legendary level, since there's no reason to have too much spiritual energy.
Besides the thatched hut, the abilities of other tools like the kitchen knife, hoe, and axe also increased.
As for functional items, the lantern's fla intensity increased again. Due to absorbing tribulation lightning during the tribulation, its fla has now completely transford into thunderfire. Combined with the supre aura, the terrifying power of its fla has reached an unimaginable level.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
To be honest, Xu Ning had always considered the lantern's fla as his trump card, but he had never had the opportunity to use it.
However, this did not negate the powerful brilliance of the lantern's fla.
What Xu Ning regretted most was the Heavenly Origin Peach Tree.
After upgrading to the Yuan-grade top-quality, the Heavenly Origin Peach's life-extending effect increased again, adding two hundred years to one's life.
Xu Ning regretted not being able to upgrade it to top-quality when he arrived at the Tiancheng Sect. Otherwise, he could have added another hundred years to his master Qi Ruifeng's life.
The Heavenly Origin Peach's life-extending effect can only be effective once per person, so now it's just a regret.
Then there's the iron pot and the futon.
The food cooked in the iron pot now makes cultivators drool.
Because of his breakthrough from the Master-level Alchemy Master Tribulation at the Spiritual Level, the iron pot's alchemy assistance ability was further enhanced. Combined with the Supre Aura, the probability of refining high-quality pills increased to an extrely high level.
The futon, besides increasing comprehension, also enhanced cultivation acceleration, further significantly shortening Xu Ning's cultivation ti.
Other items also saw substantial improvents.
Taking out the Yuan Power Pills sent by Luo Xiu, Xu Ning began upgrading his spiritual herbs.
Among the supplies sent this ti, spiritual herbs were the most abundant.
However, Xu Ning wasn't in a hurry. He planned to refine pills himself and then use them for upgrading, thus saving a lot of spiritual herbs.
It's worth ntioning that Xu Ning had already upgraded all one hundred spiritual fields to the Yuan-level Top Grade. When the spiritual herbs matured, they would all be Yuan-level Top Grade herbs, which could be used to refine top-grade Yuan Power Pills.
With the help of the iron pot, lantern, and futon, there was a high probability of refining legendary-quality Yuan Power Pills.
As for upgrading the Yuan Power Pills, Xu Ning wouldn't upgrade them to the legendary level in the short term, as he needed to undergo tribulation.
Refining was different, because it had already undergone the tribulation of lightning, so there wouldn't be another one.
After upgrading over a hundred top-grade Yuan-level Yuan Power Pills, Xu Ning began to consu them and cultivate.
In his spare ti, Xu Ning began refining Yuan-level pills to improve his rank as a second-tier alchemist.
Thus, Xu Ning was constantly busy, with too many things to do, leaving him overwheld.
Three years passed after he finished all this.
That day, Xu Ning stood in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined cultivating immortality was so hard. I miss the 996 work schedule of my previous life!"
The thatched hut said, "Cultivating immortality is certainly hard. Otherwise, how could one obtain abilities beyond the mortal realm?"
Xu Ning replied, "That's true!"
The thatched hut said, "The teleportation array has sent new ssages!"
Xu Ning raised his hand. "Give them to !"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slip of paper flew out of the thatched hut and landed in Xu Ning's hand.
At this ti, the thatched hut had beco very agile. Retrieving things no longer required Xu Ning's personal effort.
Opening the note, Xu Ning read a ssage from Luo Xiu: "Soone is investigating the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, speculating it's related to a massive resource acquisition!"
Xu Ning was startled. "Could it be that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion bought too many resources at once, causing a shortage of Foundation Establishnt stage resources?"
The thatched hut replied, "Xu Ning, you guessed right. The resources you consud all at once have disrupted the balance of Yuan-level resources in the entire cultivation world."
"Moreover, Foundation Establishnt cultivators now consu far more resources than they did two hundred years ago!"
Xu Ning asked, "Why?"
The thatched hut replied, "You should ask that! You sold too many high-quality Foundation Establishnt pill materials, leading to a surge in high-quality Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the last hundred years."
Hiss! Xu Ning couldn't help but gasp. So he was the culprit!
It was indeed true. High-quality Foundation Establishnt ant a greater need for Yuan-level resources in the future.
And at this ti, Xu Ning had suddenly cleared out all the Yuan-level resources—no wonder there were problems!
"Thatched hut, how many sets of top-grade Foundation Establishnt pills and elixirs have I sold over the years?" Xu Ning couldn't help but ask curiously.
The thatched hut said, "There are countless, too many to count!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning couldn't help but scratch his head. Unbeknownst to him, he had actually changed the entire landscape of the cultivation world!
Oh no, this ans Foundation Establishnt cultivators will be thrown into chaos.
The depletion of Yuan-level resources will inevitably lead to fierce competition.
