[Congratulations! Your sect disciples have slain an Early Foundation Establishment lord-tier demonic beast. Rewards obtained: Purple-Stripe Demon Ape core x1 (Early Foundation Establishment), Purple-Stripe Demon Ape leg bones x20, and 5 additional attribute draw chances.] [Purple-Stripe Demon Ape core: a Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast core with the earth attribute. A primary ingredient for refining certain pills.] [Purple-Stripe Demon Ape leg bones: leg bones from a Foundation Establishment demonic beast, harder than meteoric iron. A good artifact-refining material.]
Lin Feng looked at the rewards for his sect's latest lord-tier demonic beast kill. They were rather average.
Still, compared to the single attribute draw chance awarded for killing the Blood Shadow Wolf King last time, this kill had rewarded considerably more.
He had now accumulated a total of 25 attribute draw chances. Just five more, and he would have enough for three ten-pulls!
Lin Feng was quite hopeful that ten-pulls would bring him good luck.
Sect World 999's world chat channel.
When the announcement appeared that the Evergreen Sect had slain a Foundation Establishment Realm lord boss in the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm], different sects reacted differently.
[Sect Master of the Green Inkstone Sect: Is the Evergreen Sect that badass? They killed another lord boss? And a Foundation Establishment Realm boss at that?]
[Sect Master of the Autumn Mist Sect: The Evergreen Sect only just advanced to a Foundation Establishment Sect, and they can already slay Foundation Establishment Realm lord bosses. Their strength already crushes all the other sects in our Sect World 999.]
As for Perfected Daoxuan, whose Daoxuan Sect was nominally the second-ranked sect in Sect World 999, his heart ached faintly when he saw those words.
Yes, the Evergreen Sect was strong enough to crush every sect in their Sect World 999.
And that position should originally have belonged to his Daoxuan Sect!
But he had already awakened his sect and could not wait until the next round. Otherwise, he certainly would not have competed with this freakish Evergreen Sect!
Still, Perfected Daoxuan clung to a sliver of hope.
The Evergreen Sect had probably relied on Tiancan Tudou and that disciple who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm joining forces, battling the lord boss for hundreds of exchanges before barely winning.
Perfected Daoxuan consoled himself this way as he looked at an advanced outpost before him.
"Everyone, this outpost really doesn't have the Evergreen Sect's mark! It's an unoccupied advanced outpost!"
"After all this time, we've finally found another unoccupied advanced outpost!"
"And look, this outpost's guardian beast isn't one of those azure wolves!"
"Don't be too discouraged, everyone. Even if we can't match the Evergreen Sect, we should still be in the lead compared to the other sect worlds that awakened at the same time!"
"After all, we've all basked in a little of the Evergreen Sect's reflected glory!"
Lin Feng took out two upper-grade yellow-tier healing pills and handed them to Tie Dali.
Upper-grade yellow-tier healing pills could rapidly heal external injuries and greatly alleviate internal injuries.
During his battle with the Purple-Stripe Demon Ape, Tie Dali had suffered some external injuries and minor internal injuries.
With the treatment provided by upper-grade yellow-tier healing pills and his physique tempered by a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Tie Dali would only need a few days to return to peak condition.
"Dali, take a few sect disciples and thoroughly scour this Purple-Stripe Demon Ape's territory. I spotted some heavenly treasures on the way here."
"Before the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm] ends, we need to empty this place of as many resources as possible."
Tie Dali nodded and flew back the way they had come, preparing to bring two sect disciples here to gather the various heavenly treasures.
Lin Feng, meanwhile, looked at the Evergreen Sect's current points in the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm], a trace of worry appearing on his face.
It was already the fourth day since the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm] opened.
Their Evergreen Sect had occupied almost all the advanced outposts in the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm], fifty-two in total.
They had also occupied nearly a hundred intermediate outposts, but not a single basic outpost.
Yesterday alone, the points generated by these occupied outposts had reached 150,000.
The points accumulated over the past few days had already broken through the 500,000 mark.
Although three days remained before the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm] closed, the Evergreen Sect had already achieved its goal.
They would leave the remaining basic and intermediate outposts to the other sect worlds.
Lin Feng also decided to immediately begin exchanging points for various resources that could increase the sect's spiritual energy concentration.
Lin Feng first spent 2,850 points to redeem all the material packs needed to upgrade the Spirit Gathering Formation from lower-grade yellow-tier to lower-grade profound-tier.
This was also the highest level it could be upgraded to through this trial.
After redeeming them, Lin Feng immediately upgraded the Evergreen Sect's Spirit Gathering Formation.
The increase in spiritual energy concentration provided by the Spirit Gathering Formation jumped straight from 10% to 50%!
The sect's overall spiritual energy concentration also rose from its original 100% to 140%! Its position on the competition leaderboard leaped into the top twenty!
Next, Lin Feng began redeeming spirit spring source purification essence.
Spirit spring source purification essence was the primary material for upgrading spirit spring sources. Although each portion cost a hefty 300 points, fortunately, there was no limit on the quantity.
The Evergreen Sect currently had only one spirit spring source (E-rank), which could increase the sect's spiritual energy concentration by only 5%.
An S-rank spirit spring source, however, could increase spiritual energy concentration by a full 100%, rivaling even the Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform.
Upgrading a spirit spring source from E-rank to D-rank required 5 portions of spirit spring source purification essence, D to C required 15, C to B required 40, B to A required 80, and A to S required 200.
Altogether, it would cost 102,000 points. Apart from the Evergreen Sect, none of the other sects could afford it.
Lin Feng waved his hand decisively. If he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would have another chance to upgrade his spirit spring source?
Next, Lin Feng began upgrading like mad.
He upgraded the Evergreen Sect's original E-rank spirit spring source straight to S-rank, and its increase to the sect's spiritual energy concentration underwent a qualitative transformation, jumping directly from 5% to 100%!
The sect's overall spiritual energy concentration soared again, reaching 235%, and its position on the second week's competition leaderboard shot straight into the top five!
But that was not all. Each sect could install up to three spirit spring sources.
Lin Feng then spent 300 points to redeem 2 small spirit spring source embryos. After he placed them in the sect, the Evergreen Sect had two more E-rank spirit spring sources.
Finally, he repeated the process and upgraded these two E-rank spirit spring sources to S-rank, spending 204,000 points.
The sect's spiritual energy concentration immediately increased by another 200%, reaching 435% and taking first place on the second week's competition leaderboard.
More than half of his original 500,000 points had been spent in one go!
But it was all worth it. Filling all the sect's spirit spring source slots at once and upgrading them to the highest quality would lay the foundation for the Evergreen Sect to crush the other sects even further in the future.
If only one Spirit Gathering Formation could not be installed, Lin Feng would have wanted to stack the sect full of them, too!
Lin Feng looked at the Evergreen Sect's current ranking on the second week's competition leaderboard, thoroughly satisfied.
Did you think my Evergreen Sect couldn't take first place just because you wouldn't sell me the materials to build the Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform?
