Points Surpass Two Million, Fate Defying Valley Becomes a Small World
Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, Luo Can hardly left the valley. His daily life was simple and regular: he would go Fishing on the Lake Heart Island at dawn, teach a few of his personal disciples in the morning, and in the afternoon he would either go to the bottom of the Cliff of Desperate Fate to check on the cultivation progress of the Core Disciple or take a trip to the Soul Tool Hall and the Medicine Hall.
The thirty-one Core Disciple from Baican Village experienced explosive growth in strength thanks to Luo Can's unlimited investment of resources. Not only did their soul power advance by leaps and bounds, but their physical and mental strength were also honed to a level far exceeding that of their peers by various elixirs and rare treasures.
A-Shan, currently the strongest member of the team, has already broken through to level 20, becoming Soul Grandmaster and is preparing to acquire his Second Spirit Ring. Luo Xiaoyi, Bai Jiu, and Luo Yu have all reached level 19 and could break through at any time. The rest of the team members are mostly around level 17 or 18.
Luo Can was very satisfied with their progress.
The only regret is that the White Silkworm Martial Soul is inherently weak. Even with the support of the four great Tang Sect Secret Techniques — Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Purple Demon Eye —their direct combat power can only barely match that of an ordinary Spirit Master of the same level.
Therefore, unlike the elite Inner Pavilion Disciple, the only task for these Core Disciple is to bury themselves in cultivation and quickly accumulate soul power to the level 70 Spirit Saint realm. Only then can the White Silkworm Martial Soul undergo a transformation.
Meanwhile, the Inner Pavilion has recently been engulfed in a storm of involution.
Li Qing and five other newly recruited Inner Pavilion Disciple immediately occupied the top six spots on the rankings upon entering the Inner Pavilion Courtyard, thanks to their strength exceeding the fourth ring. Their strength was at least one major realm higher than the previous two batches of disciples.
This really pushed the previous "old-timers" to their limits.
They had neither Contribution Point Contribution Point strength (most were still around level 25, with only a few advancing to Soul Elder), but the thought of the generous rewards for being in the top ten of the leaderboard, especially the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone that could be obtained by dominating the leaderboard for consecutive times, made everyone's eyes turn red with envy.
As a result, the first two batches of Inner Pavilion Disciple collectively activated their "Scroll King Mode." Without saying a word, they packed their bags and left the Inner Pavilion Courtyard at the bottom of the Cliff of Desperate Fate, rushing to the Mission Hall at the Baican Village headquarters to frantically accept missions and earn Contribution Point.
"Hurry, hurry! Those Inner Pavilion members are here again to steal missions! If we're late, we won't even get the pharmacy errand missions!"
"Damn it! These bastards! They're already Inner Pavilion Disciple, and they're still trying to steal Outer Pavilion food!"
"Damn it! Let's all just keep rolling around until we're all dead! I'm not coming back until I've earned at least a thousand Contribution Point today!"
"..."
Such cries of anguish and roars are a daily occurrence in the Mission Hall. The Mission Hall is now packed to the brim, as bustling as a market.
Luo Can watched this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "They're really full of energy. Competition is what drives motivation, that's good."
As evening fell, Luo Can's "simple and unpretentious" life truly began.
Qian Renxue and Ju Zi would return on time, sitting on either side of him, and begin reporting on the progress of the Fate Defying Pavilion's various tasks.
The shop's operation, the new disciples' integration progress, the breakthroughs in Soul Tool research, and the results of Lou Gao and others' training of the blacksmith...
Of course, as the reports went on, the topic would inevitably veer off course. Then, the three of them would begin to "deeply study the mysteries of the birth of life" and explore the "supreme truth of the harmony of Yin and Yang"...
In the early hours of the morning, Luo Can quietly got out of bed and tucked the blankets around the two girls next to him.
He put on his coat and quietly left the Wooden House, slowly walking towards the Lake Heart Island.
The moonlight was perfect, a gentle breeze caressed our faces, and the entire Fate Defying Valley was immersed in tranquility.
Luo Can sat down in his usual spot and cast his fishing rod into the lake. Then he brought up the system panel and glanced at his current Points.
[Points: 1,945,500]
"Sixty thousand more to go, we'll break two million tonight." Luo Can grinned, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "Wang Dong'er, your teacher will be able to lure you out soon."
In order to successfully fish out Wang Dong'er and safely remove the Sea God Tang San, from her body, he had been accumulating Points for almost a month. After upgrading the Fishing Spot, the remaining one million Points should be enough to deal with that divine thought.
Without further thought, Luo Can took a deep breath and began to fully immerse himself in Fishing.
He was like a tireless machine, casting his line again and again. He would toss the fish he caught into his System Space without even looking at it, and then immediately cast the next line.
Six hours of Fishing time flew by.
I had pretty good luck today, fishing more than eighty times, and nine of those casts yielded red-quality items, which was a small windfall.
[Ding! This Fishing trip has ended. Overall rating: Good+]
[Reward Points: 60,000]
[Current Points: 2005500]
"We've finally reached two million!"
Luo Can put away his fishing rod, hovered his finger over the system panel, and pressed the "+" sign next to the Fishing Spot without hesitation.
[Would you like to spend 1,000,000 Points to upgrade the unique Fishing Spot "Fate Defying Valley"?]
"Yes!"
[-1000000]
The next second, the entire Fate Defying Valley suddenly began to shake violently!
The Lake Heart Island beneath Luo Can's feet began to expand rapidly at a visible pace. Originally only a few dozen meters in size, the island grew tenfold in the blink of an eye, becoming a Lake Heart Island with a radius of several miles.
What was originally just a lake, Fate-Defying Lake, spread wildly in all directions. The lake grew deeper and wider, eventually transforming into a boundless blue ocean!
Meanwhile, in the central area of Fate Defying Valley, a majestic mountain rises abruptly from the ground, growing to a height of several thousand feet before stopping. The mountaintop is shrouded in clouds and mist, and a winding river flows down the valley below, eventually merging into the Fate-Defying Lake.
Wherever the river flows, dense forests instantly spring up, with towering ancient trees rising from the ground and exotic flowers and herbs blooming everywhere. In just a few minutes, several primeval forests, comparable in size to Sunset Forest, have appeared in Fate Defying Valley.
The energy concentration between heaven and earth began to soar wildly. Abundant Life Force filled every corner of the valley.
"Holy crap! Boss! What happened?!"
A gigantic bear head suddenly emerged from the lake. Xiong Da stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock. "The Life Gold! The Life Gold has grown dozens of times larger!!!"
"How strange..." The Scarlet King also walked over with heavy steps, its three pairs of eyes filled with intoxication. "The energy of heaven and earth and the Life Force here are actually several times more terrifying than the Lake of Life the core area of Star Dou Forest!"
"I can feel the power of destiny rising in this world!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also raised its head, its third eye on its forehead wide open, curiously surveying the earth-shattering changes around it.
"Dad!"
Luo Youyou and Luo Jinju, two Immortal Herb, also swayed their branches and leaves as they ran over, their voices full of surprise, "We feel... we'll soon be able to break through to two hundred thousand years!"
"Mmm!" Luo Jinju (Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum) nodded vigorously, turning her flower head towards Luo Can. "The energy here is so concentrated; our cultivation speed has increased at least tenfold!"
Looking at the transformed Fate Defying Valley of Fate before him, Luo Can smiled with satisfaction. He rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head, then touched the leaves of the two Immortal Herb, and said with a smile:
"It's nothing. I just completed a God Trial. These are rewards from that god. Of course, they are also a gift to all of you."
"Wow! Brother Luo, the deity behind you is so generous!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion exclaimed, its eyes sparkling.
Luo Can smiled and didn't explain further. He brought up the system panel again, looking at the updated information, his smile growing wider.
