Supreme-Grade Spirit Root, the Powerful Exploration Module
Lu Yang's gaze fell on the extra reward.
A whopping 5000 points of Universal Experience!
Normally, he would have to do a full hundred days of daily tasks to accumulate that amount!
And now, I've unlocked an extra 60 points of favorability with a Nascent Soul Realm beauty.
To be honest, even Lu Yang felt it was a bit unreal.
This means that Lu Yang can directly upgrade his Spirit Root level!
Without hesitation, he directly Universal Experience to his Spirit Root.
The experience bar is jumping rapidly.
8500, 9000, 9500...
It cost 950 experience points, and the experience bar for High-Grade Spirit Root was instantly full.
The next instant, a surge of heat rose from the depths of his Dantian, spreading throughout his body along his meridians and bones.
Lu Yang felt his flesh and blood rapidly heating up, and the cells in his body seemed to be awakened, pulsating with a joyful and excited rhythm.
He glanced down at the back of his hand; a very faint fluorescence was slowly flowing across the surface of his skin, shining through from beneath, its color warm and smooth like jade.
At the same time, he could feel that his affinity for Spiritual Qi had increased several times compared to before!
Even if he only slightly circulated his Cultivation Method, the spiritual mist was like a flood that had found a breach, rushing to penetrate his pores!
As Lu Yang felt the earth-shaking changes within his body, a deep joy appeared in his eyes.
As expected of Supreme-Grade Spirit Root!
The gap between him and those with High-Grade Spirit Roots was greater than he had imagined!
With such a Spirit Root, his cultivation speed could increase several times over.
At this rate, the time it takes to go from the Late Qi Refining to the Peak Qi Refinement might be shorter than the time it takes to go from the Mid-stage Qi Refining!
However, after Spirit Root breaks through to the highest grade, the experience required for subsequent upgrades increases tenfold again.
Previously, upgrading Mid-Grade Spirit Root to a high-grade spiritual root required 1000 experience points, while upgrading High-Grade Spirit Root to a top-grade spiritual root required 10,000 experience points.
It now takes a full 100,000 points to upgrade from Supreme-Grade Spirit Root to a superior-grade one!
If Lu Yang continues to gain 50 Universal Experience per day, it will take him two thousand days, roughly six years.
This timeframe wasn't actually that long.
After all, once a cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can live for two hundred years or even longer.
Breaking through from Supreme-Grade Spirit Root to the Foundation Establishment Realm is quite simple.
Six years is nothing compared to a lifespan of two hundred years.
Not to mention, how could an ordinary cultivator possibly improve their Spirit Root level?
To be able to upgrade Supreme-Grade Spirit Root to Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root in just six years is enough to make people green with envy.
Moreover, Lu Yang now has more channels to gain Universal Experience than before.
In addition to rewards from daily tasks, you can also obtain them through random tasks involving your female companion.
The more concubines you have, the more random tasks you'll have, and the more efficient you'll be at gaining Universal Experience than with daily tasks!
Of course, now there's another channel.
That means... being a kept man.
Su Jinxuan, a woman of far higher status than him, grants him extra experience points for each instance of increasing his favorability, making it faster than completing quests.
Lu Yang's lips twitched, and he dismissed the less-than-honorable thought.
How could I, a grown man, live off a woman?
That's so embarrassing!
By adding all the remaining Universal Experience to his Spirit Root, Lu Yang's Spirit Root became top-grade (4050/100000).
Lu Yang exhaled a breath of stale air and turned his gaze to the real highlight.
New module!
It seems that the modules in this system are not all activated at once.
Just like the Beauty Module, it was only activated after adding Lin Ying as a friend.
This Search Module is similar.
Lu Yang clicked on the search bar on the panel.
The first thing that pops up is a series of lines of text:
[Consumes Spirit Stones to search for any information in the host's current plane or a lower plane (such as the whereabouts of Cultivation Method, the location of secret realms, the location of characters, etc.). The more valuable the information, the more Spirit Stones are consumed.]
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.
How should I put this feature...?
It can't directly enhance his strength or increase his wealth, but it can still be very useful sometimes.
It's somewhat similar to Integrated Body the map and encyclopedia functions in a game.
The introductory text gradually faded away, and the panel changed.
A clean and simple interface appeared.
In the center are several input boxes, including the name of the exploration target, the exploration range, the number of explorations, etc.
It appears to be quite rigorous.
Below these input boxes are the fees.
Since no information was entered, the fee is displayed as 0.
Below that is the confirmation button.
He tried a simple test first.
The location of the Origin-Nurturing Fruit within a radius of 500 kilometers, centered on oneself.
The Origin-Nurturing Fruit is the main ingredient for refining the Origin-Nurturing Pill; it is a common second-tier spiritual fruit.
Second-tier spirit fruits aren't particularly rare, so they're perfect for testing the search function.
After entering the information, a number appeared in the cost column at the bottom of the panel: 3000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.
That's fucking expensive!
Even second-tier herbs aren't worth that price!
However, for Lu Yang, this amount of Spirit Stones was nothing.
He just wanted to give it a try.
Confirm.
The next moment, a semi-transparent map appeared on the panel.
The map unfolds outwards from him, depicting mountains, rivers, dense forests, and valleys within a radius of 500 kilometers, all outlined with simplified lines.
In the center of the image is a blue dot, marking his current location.
Dozens of green dots are scattered around the blue dots, each with a small label floating next to it: Origin-Nurturing Fruit.
Dozens of seats!
Some are within the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, some in the market, some gathered in the deep mountains and forests, some scattered along streams, and some even marked near the lair of Demon Beasts...
Lu Yang was taken aback, a hint of alarm showing on his face.
This...
Three thousand Spirit Stones precisely marked all the Origin-Nurturing Fruits within a radius of five hundred kilometers?
If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to use this map to collect resources, they would definitely cover their costs on the first trip and would likely make a considerable profit!
From this perspective, three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones don't actually seem particularly expensive, do they?
He then tested several other search types.
The search fortuitous opportunity also displays a map, marking nearby fortuitous opportunities of varying sizes. The search fee varies depending on the level of the fortuitous opportunity.
Whether or not the search fees can be recouped depends on the quality of the fortuitous opportunity itself.
The map only shows the location, not the details of the fortuitous opportunity.
To see detailed information, you'll have to spend an extra lot of Spirit Stones.
Searching for people is the most expensive option.
Lu Yang tried searching for Li Ao's location, and the number that popped up on the panel was 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Just locking onto the current coordinates of a Golden Core cultivator costs 100,000!
If you want to know his detailed information, such as his life trajectory, major events, and cultivation level, the number that pops up on the panel is five million!
Lu Yang stared at the string of zeros and fell silent.
Five million Low-Grade Spirit Stones are enough for him to rent a bodyguard at the Peak Nascent Soul for a whole day!
There are even more!
Using it to investigate the complete background of a Golden Core cultivator is indeed not very cost-effective.
He went on to test several more objects.
Lu Hongdou, his ten-year-old sister, is currently an ordinary mortal who has not yet cultivated.
The cost to search her complete life trajectory and major events of the first ten years is 10,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Ten years old, an ordinary person!
Outrageous prices.
After entering Lin Ying's name, a line of red text popped up on the panel.
[The beauties in the Beauty Cultivation Plan cannot be explored.]
Lu Yang paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly.
Unable to explore?
Why?
He seemed to be deep in thought, then entered his name again.
[Unable to explore.]
He then tried Qin Nanyue and discovered that Qin Nanyue could explore.
Really...
Only those with a favorability rating of 100 points and who have already started the Beauty Cultivation Plan, along with oneself, are unsearchable?
Lu Yang wondered if it might be related to the system?
It's highly likely.
After all, the exploration function is one of the system modules and is part of the system itself. A concubine with 100 points of favorability already has enough detailed information, so there is no need to use the Search Module.
Although the cost of the information content was huge, it was acceptable for things like finding locations.
Lu Yang thought of using the search function to help him find some Earth Grade Supreme Quality, or even Heaven Grade, Cultivation Method!
Or, where can one obtain a large quantity of high-quality Sound Transmission Jade Token?
Although it would cost a lot of Spirit Stones, it was still better than Li Ao searching for it like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Once you have the location, just send it to Li Ao and let Li Ao make the contact.
Unfortunately, this exploration function can currently only explore information about the Canglan Realm or lower-level planes.
It's not possible to explore information about higher dimensions.
Otherwise, with enough Spirit Stones, this exploration function could be considered omniscient in a sense.
