I Take Out Loans to Reach the Summit
In the Ganwu Treasury, the virtual screen reflected Tang Ping's face in flickering light and shadow.
As his fingertips traced the nurturing quotes for those Plant Lifeform, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Plant Lifeform is a necessity in the cosmic cultivation world, so it's not surprising that a complete industrial chain has emerged from it. In this Ganwu Treasury, there are four cultivation companies specializing in this field, and what's most tempting is their "guaranteed success" promise.
It should be noted that even when cultivated by cultivators themselves, the mortality rate of Plant Lifeform is as high as 30%. These companies dare to guarantee this with their own hands, and their reputation is by no means undeserved.
However, each company only specializes in a single category, and after searching through the entire treasure trove of information, there are only four types of Plant Lifeform available for selection.
As for finding an external training institution? As a top-tier student in the Ganwu Secret Realm, he enjoys special subsidies and student discounts here. Why waste money going outside?
He's not stupid!
Moreover, the differences in Plant Lifeform are not actually that great; as long as it works, it's fine.
When Tang Ping first saw the phrase "can cover the body surface to defend against all attacks," a crazy thought flashed through his mind: if he wore dozens or hundreds of layers, wouldn't he be invincible and able to roam freely in the universe?
He only completely dispelled this fantasy after reading the notes.
Firstly, the price is outrageous; the cost of cultivating a single plant is enough to empty his savings. More importantly, although these Plant Lifeform are docile and obedient to their owners, they have a strong sense of "territoriality" and absolutely refuse to be covered by their own kind.
"They're more like a bunch of arrogant little guys." Tang Ping chuckled and shook his head, then straightened his expression and began to carefully compare the four lists.
The first plant: Star-Eating Grass. Characteristics: It can be called the "survival superpower" in the universe. The ultra-high pressure of neutron stars and the spacetime distortion at the edge of black holes can support its short-term survival.
Its cultivation direction is highly flexible, and it can focus on either explosive growth or brute force enhancement; it has a special affinity for the rare resource "Life Water", and its growth rate doubles directly after contact.
Core Ability: The main vine can extend up to 10,000 kilometers, its surface barbs tempered with energy sharpness, capable of instantly shredding Domain Lord level alloys.
The leaves are like miniature stellar sails, capable of absorbing stellar radiation for energy and directly absorbing the energy attacks of opponents; their regenerative ability is astonishing, and damaged vines can recover 80% of their combat power within ten minutes.
Cultivation Costs and Strength: Basic cultivation to the Domain Lord level requires 120-300 Hunyuan Unit. The core Nutrient Solution "Star Marrow Fluid" is worth 50,000 points per liter. The total cost of cultivating to the ninth level of the Domain Lord level is approximately 800 Hunyuan Unit.
Once fully formed, it can reach the peak of the Domain Lord Ninth Rank, capable of simultaneously fighting against three ordinary Realm Lords, and its strength is further amplified by 50% in a stellar environment.
%.
Second plant: Thunder Spirit Grass (Elemental Specialization)
Characteristics: It is born dependent on planets with high magnetic fields and needs to continuously absorb lightning energy to advance; it has no physical defense and must be used in conjunction with protective formations; the "Thunder Spirit Fruit" that grows after flowering is Supreme Treasure for lightning-type cultivators to break through the bottleneck of laws.
Core Abilities: Can unleash millions of lightning arcs to weave a cage, trapping and killing opponents of the same level; extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, enabling early warning of surprise attacks; the released purifying lightning stream can dispel mental attacks, and has an overwhelming restraining effect on soul entities.
Cultivation Costs and Strength: It takes 500 Hunyuan Unit to cultivate from basic to Domain Lord level, and each core resource "Thunder Source Crystal" is worth 200,000 Hunyuan Unit.
Its lightning attacks deal double damage to energy bodies, and at its peak, Domain Lord- level cultivator can suppress an ordinary World Lord Rank Spirit Reader.
The third tree: Tree of Life (Support-type Peak)
Characteristics: Slow-growing yet long-lived, Domain Lord lords can survive for millions of years; roots can penetrate deep into the core of a planet, continuously drawing upon Origin Energy; the "Life Rune" formed from fallen leaves can be attached to equipment for a long time to exert their effects.
Core Abilities: Releases a life energy field with a radius of 10,000 kilometers, rapidly healing allies from injuries; can decompose biological and energy toxins, with a special effect on radiation sickness; emits a calming mental wave that can soothe emotional fluctuations and greatly improve cultivation stability.
Cultivation Costs and Strength: It has no direct combat ability, but its auxiliary effects can cover 50 domain Domain Lord- level powerhouses and can resist the poison attacks of ordinary realm lords.
It takes 800 Hunyuan Unit to cultivate from the basic level to the Domain Lord level, and requires a continuous supply of "Life Source Fluid", with no bottom to the subsequent consumption.
Fourth plant: Cloud-Touching Vine (King of Defense)
Characteristics: A universally recognized defensive Plant Lifeform, renowned for its terrifying cellular activity and devouring ability, making it difficult for human cultivators of the same level to withstand its power.
Its evolution path depends entirely on absorbing rare treasures. The number of main vines directly determines the evolution limit. When defending, it can change color according to the environment and adhere tightly to the body surface.
Core Ability: Its ability to entangle and trap enemies ranks among the top among support plants, and the protective strength of its battle suit is the strongest among plants of the same type.
Cultivation Costs and Strength: It possesses 108 main vines, each 3,000 kilometers long. Even if an ordinary realm lord were to destroy it with all their might, its recovery speed would far exceed the speed of destruction.
It takes 620 Hunyuan Unit to cultivate from basic to Domain Lord level.
Tang Ping's original plan was to go straight to cultivating a Plant Lifeform at the World Lord Rank.
But when he saw that "the cost of cultivating from Domain Lord to World Lord Rank needs to be increased by tens of thousands on the original basis," his thoughts vanished instantly.
No wonder that in the Ganwu Secret Realm, a place teeming with geniuses, everyone is a highly valuable prodigy, yet no one has ever been heard of spending money to cultivate Plant Lifeform.
This isn't just expensive, it's outrageous!
Faced with reality, he had no choice but to settle for the Domain Lord level.
Even the cheapest Star-Eating Grass starts at over 120 Hunyuan Unit, with the highest costing 800 Hunyuan. His most prized life-saving artifact, the Cloud-Touching Vine, even soars to 620 Hunyuan Unit.
"Sure enough, things that save your life are never cheap; nobody's stupid," Tang Ping said with a wry smile.
But that's frustrating. You work so hard to earn a lot of money, and then you can't afford it!
Just as he was feeling disheartened, a "Special Service for Top-Tier Students" notification popped up in the corner of his Optical Computer and caught his eye. Tang Ping's eyes sharpened, and he decisively tapped the module with the lightning bolt icon.
The Ganwu Secret Realm Special Student Lightning Loan!
Very well! No one will help me reach the summit, so I'll take out a loan myself!
A fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. "Let this Ganwu Secret Realm see just how many Hunyuan Unit my cultivation potential is worth!"
The moment the command was confirmed, the Optical Computer screen lit up abruptly, and a pale golden scanning beam shone down from the top, sweeping across Tang Ping's eyebrows and eyes. He subconsciously blinked, then followed the system prompts to tap his chin and open his mouth, cooperating to complete a series of biometric identification procedures.
"Identity verification successful! Gene sequence matching successful! Divine Power wave verification correct. Calculating loan amount----"
The mechanical electronic voice rang in his ears, and every second of waiting felt like a simmering test of Tang Ping's patience.
The moment the credit limit information popped up, the flame in his eyes was instantly extinguished.
"Ganwu Secret Realm Universe Level Top Student: Tang Ping. Heaven-Reaching Tower Clearance Level: 35. Registered Age: 250 years old. Overall Assessment Loan Amount: 10 Hunyuan Unit. Annual Interest Rate: 1%."
Only 10 Hunyuan Unit?
The Optical Computer then displayed a light blue notification: "To increase your loan limit, you can do so through the following methods:"
1. Reaching higher levels in the Heaven-Reaching Tower will increase your base credit by 5% for each level you advance.
2. Submit additional assets or rare treasures as collateral, with an additional amount of 50% of the appraised value;
Third, seek guarantees from powerful individuals at the World Lord Rank or above who have been certified within the Secret Realm. The strength of the guarantor will directly affect the maximum credit limit.
Depend on!
