This place is fun

Chapter 129 Eight thousand!

The 15th meter strength took about four minutes... The 16th meter strength took more than ten minutes...

When Su Daoshan integrated the fifth two hundred spiritual essences into the Dao seed without hesitation, a burst of noise at the entrance of the village brought him back to his senses.

After withdrawing his soul from the Dao Seed Space, Su Daoshan saw Mr. Qi, who was sitting across the coffee table, looking at him with a very complicated expression, as if he was excited, surprised, and a little awed.

"What's going on?" Su Daoshan asked.

Although it seemed abrupt, he knew that Mr. Qi knew what he was asking.

As expected, Mr. Qi did not explain the commotion at the entrance of the village. He just kept silent, brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Su Daoshan, then said respectfully: "Mr. Tan, do you know why the Dao Seed combat power of your human warriors is between three and five meters at each stage?"

"Is there anything special?" Su Daoshan turned his head and looked at the entrance of the village. He saw Niu Er and others coming. However, they were stopped by several villagers from a distance. At this moment, they had calmed down and were watching this side.

"Because of the Dao Seed grade. The higher the grade, the greater the Dao Seed improvement and the faster the speed." Mr. Qi gave the answer directly, saying, "As far as we know, the lowest Dao Seed grade of a warrior is one bell, and the highest is eight bells. But most people are between three bells and five bells. Because of this, at each level, the Dao Seed combat power that is improved also corresponds to the numbers in this range."

Seeing Su Daoshan pick up the teacup and drink, Mr. Qi poured him some tea and said, "Once you exceed the height of your own rank, the speed of your Dao Seed improvement will become extremely slow. It will not be worth the loss."

"Oh?" Su Daoshan heard this for the first time and asked curiously, "That is to say, every time you climb a higher level on Tiandao Mountain, a person with a third-level rank can increase his combat power by three meters. A person with a fifth-level rank can increase it to five meters. It can't exceed this limit?"

"It's not that it can't be exceeded, but it will take a long time," Mr. Qi explained patiently, "Take the example of a person with a three-level rank. When he enters a higher level of Tiandao Mountain, it takes ten days to improve his combat power for the first time. The second time will take a month. The third time will take three months. And if he wants to force himself to improve for the fourth time at this level, it will take more than a year!"

Su Daoshan asked, "What about the five bells?"

"The fifth level is three months, the fourth is one month, the third is ten days, the second is three days, and the first is only one day," said Mr. Qi. "Similarly, if he wants to improve to the sixth level, it will take more than a year."

"The fifth time of the five-bell pindi and the third time of the three-bell pindi are both three months."

Su Daoshan grasped the key point and suddenly realized it. He asked, "Then the eight levels are: the eighth is three months, the seventh is one month, the sixth is ten days... and then we can infer from this?"

"That's right." Mr. Qi said respectfully.

Su Daoshan now understood it completely. He had never thought that there was such an invisible rule for the speed of spiritual realm Dao seeds' advancement. The maximum time was three months. But the higher the grade, the more times it could be advanced, and the faster the first few times of advancement would be.

The time difference between each time is about three times. Going forward is dividing by three, and going backward is multiplying by three.

"No wonder Ao Jiu is only at the nine-meter combat power level. In addition to the limitation of lacking spiritual essence, his three-bell grade Dao seed is also a huge limitation."

"And I'm the twelfth level. Working backwards from the three months it took to increase my combat power for the twelfth time... no wonder my previous upgrades were so fast. Especially the first time, it only took about twenty seconds."

"Besides, other people can only increase their combat power by three to five meters in each level, and no more than eight meters at most. But I can increase it by twelve meters!"

"This means that my Dao Seed can be raised to a combat power of 24 meters just at the rookie stage!"

Thinking of this, a question suddenly popped into his mind. Su Daoshan asked, "Is this time calculated according to the time of the Spiritual Realm? What will happen if I leave the Spiritual Realm?"

"Yes." Mr. Qi nodded and said, "If you leave the spiritual realm, the Dao Seed's combat power will stop increasing."

At this moment, Su Daoshan completely understood why Ao Jiu was so slow.

On the surface, the time in the spiritual world is three times that of the real world. Three months in the spiritual world is only one month in the real world. But in fact, each time a warrior enters the spiritual world, he cannot stay for more than thirty-six hours. Once this red line is exceeded, the warrior will be lost here and can never go back.

Therefore, if we calculate that ordinary extraordinary warriors only enter the spiritual realm four times a month, the time they stay in the spiritual realm is no more than twelve days a month!
Less than half of the real world!
If you are a newcomer, and you enter the spiritual realm twice a month, it’s only six days!
Su Daoshan couldn't imagine how long Ao Jiu, who was still a newcomer, had to endure when he upgraded his Dao Seed for the third time.

"It's just that this guy didn't come up with a good name."

Thinking back, Su Daoshan calculated in his mind. Because he was at home, even if he was a sleepyhead, he could only sleep for six hours at most. This meant that he could stay for a maximum of eighteen hours.

"That is to say, the remaining time is enough for me to increase my combat power to 19 meters. The next time I enter the spiritual realm, I will be able to break through the 20th level!"

"However, spiritual essence is a problem. I have already used up all the 1,000 spiritual essences I just collected to increase my combat power by 5 meters. And this does not include the consumption of the open-heart furnace I prepared. That is also a bottomless pit!"

Thinking of this, Su Daoshan looked at Mr. Qi with a thoughtful look. He was thinking about how to get some more spiritual essence from this old spirit monster. At this moment, his peripheral vision swept over a large charred pit, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Su Daoshan picked up the tea and drank it while pondering, "Um... Old Qi, you know my battle spirit is the Wuche from before, right? You said that Wuche is the landlord of our Gurong tribe, so shouldn't I have a share of the spiritual essence stored here?"

"Of course." Mr. Qi nodded.

Huh? Su Daoshan raised his eyelids and looked at Mr. Qi, somewhat doubtful. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to answer so straightforwardly.

"Then..." Su Daoshan put down the cup excitedly and was about to speak, but he saw Mr. Qi bowed and said: "...But, I have a condition."

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Su Daoshan thought to himself, snorted, and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Mr. Qi stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Su Daoshan solemnly: "Qi Mingxuan and the 226 people of the Gurong tribe are willing to follow you and seek your protection."

Su Daoshan was stunned for a moment.

Not only Su Daoshan was stunned, but Niu Er, Gao Jiao and others who were watching from afar were also stunned.

Everyone looked around and was shocked to find that not only Mr. Qi saluted Su Daoshan, but all the spirits and monsters in the entire village, regardless of gender, age or status, appeared and saluted Su Daoshan respectfully.

Under the tree, in front of the house, in the courtyard, beside the field, by the roadside...

"What are they doing?" Zi Yu said in shock. Human warriors have always been just a group of foreign passers-by in the spiritual realm. There is an invisible, yet absolutely insurmountable gap between them and the local intelligent life forms like the spirit monsters. No spirit monster likes humans. It's like an indigenous inhabitant of a piece of land facing an intruder who comes to compete for resources. The hatred between the two sides is natural.

In the early years, the two sides had fought numerous brutal wars for the spiritual essence. Even though the cooperation model between the landlord and the keeper had been formed, the fundamental hostility could not be eliminated.

Therefore, in their daily interactions with spirit monsters, everyone is used to their indifference, brutality, and hostility, as well as their pretended obedience, enthusiasm, and familiarity. However, no one really thinks they can become friends with spirit monsters, let alone conquer them.

If you can't get the recognition of the spirit monsters, you naturally can't get their respect and love. They only respect the strong and wise of their own race. And the stronger the human warriors are, the more they want to get rid of them.

Moreover, this mentality is the same for all spirits, regardless of strength or age.

But what did he see now... Everyone could not hear what Mr. Qi and Su Daoshan were saying, but they could see the actions and expressions of the surrounding spirit monsters.

This was completely beyond their knowledge.

After a moment of silence, Su Daoshan asked, "Why?"

"Sir, you are a man of great learning. You will soar to great heights in the future." Mr. Qi stood up and waved his hand to let the other people in the village disperse. He said frankly, "As the saying goes, a fly following the tail of a horse can reach a thousand miles. You are naturally aware of my little thoughts. I dare not deceive you."

"You're just a fool. I'm still confused." Su Daoshan remained calm and asked, "How do you know that I'm a scholar? Is it because you could sense that my aura is similar to your mentor's, or did you deliberately want to see me improve my Dao Seed just now... What did you see?"

"Yes." Mr. Qi said, "But the key point is that you received five carts."

"Five Chariots?" Su Daoshan asked curiously, "What does this have to do with it?"

"Wu Che is my close friend, we are like-minded and have the same ideals," Mr. Qi sighed, "In terms of the desire to learn, Brother Wu Che is even better than me. He reads books every day and studies hard. He only hopes to be well-read and knowledgeable. The name Wu Che comes from this."

As he spoke, Mr. Qi sat down and poured tea for Su Daoshan. "In the battle that day, it was Brother Wu Che who merged with the Flame Demon, not the Flame Demon who devoured Brother Wu Che. Therefore, the newborn Xiao Hei must have inherited Brother Wu Che's Dao Heart. As soon as he saw you, you willingly became your chosen war spirit and commanded you. This shows that your knowledge must be as vast as the ocean and unfathomable."

"That's true." Su Daoshan suddenly realized and nodded.

Mr. Qi was already familiar with Mr. Tan's character. His cheeks twitched slightly but he said nothing.

"Since you are so sincere, it is not impossible for me to agree to your request," Su Daoshan said, "But..."

Su Daoshan pretended to pick up the tea.

At this moment, his soul moved. More than forty minutes later, the fifth Dao Seed upgrade was completed, and the combat power was successfully increased to seventeen meters!
Mr. Qi seemed to sense it as well, and his expression became more respectful. He took out an account book and presented it to me with both hands: "This is the account of Lingyun Fruit produced by the Ancient Rong Tribe over the years. Please have a look, sir."

Su Daoshan took it without hesitation and turned directly to the balance column. His eyes lit up and his breathing stopped. No wonder this old man didn't even bargain when he offered a price of one thousand spiritual essences.

In the accounts of the Gurong tribe, there were actually more than eight thousand spiritual essences!

"Can I use all of these?" Su Daoshan asked.

Mr. Qi said, "It's up to you, sir."

"Okay!" Su Daoshan was overjoyed and waved his hand with great pride, "From today on, you are all under my protection!"

"Thank you, sir!" Mr. Qi was so happy that he quickly stood up and bowed to the ground.

"Well, you help me get it first..." Su Daoshan looked at the account book with a sharp gaze. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered Niu Er and others in the distance and changed his words, "Forget it, take me to a place with fewer people."

After saying that, Su Daoshan stood up, greeted Niu Er and the others first, asked them to wait for a moment, and then, under the guidance of Mr. Qi, walked into the school not far away.

A few minutes later, Mr. Qi walked out of the classroom with a look of pain on his face. He turned back several times and tried to push the door back in, but stopped abruptly. Finally, he stomped his feet and left in despair.

In the room, Su Daoshan looked at the Dao Seed Space that was filled with more than 8,000 Lingyun Fruits. His face flushed and he laughed loudly, rubbing his hands repeatedly with excitement!
"Eight thousand spiritual essences!"

"With so much spiritual essence, let alone now, even if we ascend to the first or even second floor, it will be more than enough to increase the Dao Seed's combat power!"

"However, Dao Seed's combat power is only one aspect. What's most important to me now is the Happy Furnace! As long as I can refine what I want, my combat power will immediately soar! It's more direct than improving Dao Seed's combat power!"

"But I heard that refining a weapon with the Heart Furnace consumes more energy than improving the Dao Seed... Never mind... smash it! With eight thousand spiritual essences, can't we smash anything?"

Su Daoshan spent two hundred spiritual essences without hesitation and continued to improve his Dao seeds.

Immediately, he stopped paying attention to the Dao Seed and let it grow freely. He found a chair, sat cross-legged, and entered the Dao Seed space with his soul, and began to visualize.

As the visualization progressed, Su Daoshan gradually saw a small silver-white dot appear in the center of the Dao Seed Space. Soon, this small dot suddenly expanded and turned into a huge spherical space.

"This is the heart furnace." Su Daoshan realized something and picked two hundred spiritual essences from the Tao seeds and put them into the heart furnace space.

As the spiritual essence was put into it, Su Daoshan suddenly felt that his consciousness seemed to be drawn into the heart furnace space. There was nothing in the heart furnace space, but he had a strange feeling.

It was as if I had entered a magnificent and sacred temple.

In this huge palace, I am as small as an ant. But above the palace, there is an extremely huge will. As long as my wish is recognized by this will, it will come true.

The entire refining method and steps are so clear.

Start!
