Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Hard Cultivation Points |
| Original Name | 苦修值 |
| Type | System resource |
| User | Lin Fan |
| Function | Spent to increase Lin Fan’s cultivation through the (+) beside his cultivation level 2. |
| First Appearance | Listed at 0 on Lin Fan’s initial system panel 1. |
Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Body Tempering Second Stage | 2 | Spends 100 points accumulated through repeated deaths; his balance returns to zero. |
| Body Tempering Third Level | 4 | Spends 2,000 points after discovering that cultivation generates them; his balance falls from 3,750 to 1,750. |
| Body Tempering Fourth Stage | 4 | Spends 4,000 points, reducing his balance from 5,750 to 1,750. Bypasses the usual painful hurdle; hard, hornlike scales briefly emerge before merging into his skin. |
| Body Tempering Fifth Stage | 6 | Allocates his 8,000-point balance during boulder-impact training. His body enlarges and his bones change. |
| Body Tempering Sixth Layer | 13 | Refines a Lion-Tiger Pill until his balance reaches 16,000, then spends it all to advance. |
| Body Tempering Seventh Level | 25 | Spends 32,000 points after overnight cultivation assisted by an Origin Accumulation Pill brings his balance to 42,000. |
| Body Tempering Eighth Level | 45 | Confirmed on his panel after refining his looted pills. The advancement cost is not shown; his displayed balance is 60,250. |
| Body Tempering Ninth Layer | 49 | Spends 128,000 points after refining an upper-tier Mystic Grade pill overnight, leaving 58,654. His bones, organs, and marrow reach their Body Tempering peak. |
Mechanics
- Manual advancement: Lin Fan taps the (+) beside his cultivation to spend accumulated Hard Cultivation Points and raise his realm 2 4.
- Insufficient balance: The button does nothing when he lacks enough points. After reaching the Second Stage, a balance of 150 cannot purchase another advancement 2.
- Increasing costs: Reaching the Second Stage costs 100 points, while reaching the Third costs 2,000; the documented costs continue rising through the Ninth Layer 2 4 49.
- Stored gains: Cultivation and refined medicinal power accumulate as points before Lin Fan spends them on advancement 4 13 25.
- Breakthrough hurdles: Point-based advancement lets him cross the Third-to-Fourth Stage hurdle without enduring the ordinary breakthrough process 4.
Acquisition Methods
Cultivation
Circulating a cultivation technique steadily generates Hard Cultivation Points. Better techniques and external-force training can increase the yield 4 6 17 46.
| Technique / Method | Documented Yield | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Body Refining Art | +1 per displayed increment | Lin Fan estimates 30 points per minute, or 1,800 per hour, during ordinary cultivation 4 5. |
| Body Refining Art with boulder impacts | +5 per displayed increment | Described as five times faster than his usual cultivation 6. |
| Proud Bone Body Tempering Art | +2 per displayed increment | A self-created, middle-grade Human technique; produces points faster than the Body Refining Art 16 17. |
| Bronze Iron Body Tempering Art | +1 per displayed increment | A low-rank Human technique. Its lower yield shows that creating a new technique does not guarantee an improvement 45. |
| Golden Body Tempering Technique | 3 points per second | A high-rank Human technique yielding 180 per minute or 10,800 per hour 46. |
- Stamina limit: Early cultivation consumes enough mental stamina to force Lin Fan to stop and rest 5.
- External-force risks: Rapid boulder impacts accelerate cultivation but rupture his lungs and liver 6 7.
- Technique development: Failed cultivation-route experiments repeatedly kill him, generating death rewards while he searches for a better point-producing technique 15 16 45 46.
Death
- Reward: A qualifying death grants 10 Hard Cultivation Points, whether caused by enemies, self-inflicted injury, or a failed cultivation experiment 2 7 15 16 19.
- Revival restriction: The Undying Body takes ten seconds to revive him. Attacks during that interval grant no additional Hard Cultivation Points because he is already dead 2.
- Not ordinary damage rewards: While enemies mutilate his apparent corpse, Lin Fan observes that points increase only when an attack kills him—not with every slash 2.
- Training reset: Revival restores his health and energy, allowing him to resume cultivation after injury or exhaustion while also collecting the death reward 7 13.
Refining Pills
Cultivation pills provide Hard Cultivation Points when Lin Fan circulates his technique to refine their medicinal potency 13 23 45.
| Pill / Supply | Grade | Documented Result |
|---|---|---|
| Lion-Tiger Pill | Upper-grade Human tier | Produces +50-point increments until his total balance reaches 16,000 13. |
| Dragon-Tiger Great Nourishment Pill | Low-rank Mystic Grade | Adds 8,000, raising his balance from 10,540 to 18,540 23. |
| Origin Accumulation Pill | High-tier Mystic Grade | Assists overnight cultivation that brings his balance to 42,000 25. |
| Azure Primordial Pill | Mid-grade Mystic Grade | Causes a rapid increase; no exact yield is stated 34. |
| Looted Human and Mystic Grade pills | Mixed grades | After bulk refinement, his panel shows Body Tempering Eighth Level and 60,250 points 45. |
- Diminishing usefulness: By the Eighth Level, pills below middle-rank Human Grade barely increase his Hard Cultivation Points 45.
- Bulk-refinement danger: Ordinary disciples risk bodily damage and hidden injuries by swallowing many pills together. Lin Fan takes his looted supply at once, relying on his Undying Body 45.
Distinction from Points
The system tracks Hard Cultivation Points and Points as separate balances 1 12.
| Resource | Documented Sources | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Hard Cultivation Points | Cultivation, refined pills, and Lin Fan’s deaths | Raising his cultivation through the (+) control 2 4 13. |
| Points | Killing other living beings, with rewards varying by their cultivation | Lottery draws and offensive-technique upgrades, including the Violent Wolf-Fang Club 1 9 11 33. |
- Indirect connection: Points can purchase lottery draws that award cultivation pills; refining those pills then produces Hard Cultivation Points 13 25 34.
- Technique distinction: Lin Fan cannot upgrade the Proud Bone Body Tempering Art with ordinary Points as he does the Violent Wolf-Fang Club. He identifies the former as a cultivation-building technique and the latter as an offensive technique 33.
