The body is the vessel for Divine Power. If the body is not strong enough, it cannot support the host's powerful Divine Power, so it is necessary to simultaneously improve the body's strength.
After listening to the system's explanation, Ling Yi nodded in understanding.
Moreover, this is the only reasonable approach.
"System, keep 10,000 taels of gold as a reserve, and exchange the rest for Upgrade Points."
[Ding, congratulations on your successful exchange. You currently have 71 Upgrade Points remaining.]
At this point, Ling Yi's gold bars were almost completely used up, leaving only 10,000 taels, or one hundred gold bars.
One hundred taels for one.
Ling Yi made a mental assessment and then issued another command to the system.
"Complete one advancement in Hidden Weapons skills."
[Ding! 13 Upgrade Points consumed. Hidden Weapons skill advanced and mutated into Skill Divine Control, Entry!]
[Skill Divine Control: Uses Divine Sense to control Throwing Hidden Weapons, allowing them to change direction mid-air.]
After the upgrade was complete, Ling Yi felt his body had become even stronger.
Especially the strength of the fingers and arms.
Ling Yi's physique also improved once again, reaching exactly 60 points.
With 60 points in Constitution, plus Divine Seal and Divine Control, I'm currently able to protect myself.
There are 58 Upgrade Points left; I'll save them for now.
Upgrade Points aren't just for making Ling Yi stronger; they can also upgrade items.
For example, upgrading water can turn ordinary water into Spiritual Water, or increase the volume of water.
What about upgrading food?
My next strategy will be Summon build.
Whether it's Ling Yi and Ling Yun, or Summon creatures.
They all require a lot of food.
It's already early winter, so planting is out of the question.
Therefore, the source of food is limited.
To have enough food and water, you need to rely on Upgrade Points.
Just then, Ling Yi heard a flapping sound coming from above.
Looking up, I saw a dozen sparrows flying overhead, heading towards the back of the mountain.
Sparrows don't fly very high.
Ling Yi scooped a handful of soil from the Earth Wall.
He flicked his wrist at the flock of sparrows, using the Divine Control skill.
The next moment, all but one of the dozen or so Luck were hit.
They all fell to the ground.
As for that Luck, Ling Yi didn't let it go either.
He placed his finger on his brow, and the next moment, a pale red light emanated from his brow and landed on his fingertip.
Ling Yi pointed his finger at the sparrow that was desperately trying to escape.
"Go!"
A flash of red light disappeared in an instant, accurately hitting the sparrow.
Ling Yi instantly Perception that a connection had been established between himself and the sparrow.
With a thought, the sparrow changed direction in mid-air and flew towards Ling Yi.
It landed directly in Ling Yi's palm.
"Is this the Divine Seal skill?" Ling Yi felt somewhat excited.
Ling Yi can now issue commands to sparrows using his consciousness.
However, the command issued was not in words, but in thought.
Sparrows cannot understand human language.
This sense of control is amazing!
Under Ling Yi's will, the sparrow took flight again, circled Ling Yi twice, and then flew in several S-shaped trajectories in front of Ling Yi.
It then fell back into Ling Yi's hands.
"System, what Changes would occur if we upgraded this sparrow?"
[There are also two upgrade options available: size and Wisdom.]
[As the sparrow's size increases, its physique also strengthens; this is a side effect.]
[Upgrading Wisdom will also slightly strengthen the body. Similar to Divine Seal skills, the increase in Wisdom is accompanied by an increase in the consumption of physical energy.]
Therefore, physical fitness will also improve, but the improvement will be less significant.
Can physical appearance and Wisdom be improved simultaneously?
[Of course, host, but it will increase the number of Upgrade Points required.]
[Additionally, after accumulating ten upgrades, a mutation will occur, and the Upgrade Points consumed will double.]
[Currently, each Upgrade Points allows you to upgrade this sparrow once. After a mutation, it will require 2 upgrade points. If it mutates again, each upgrade will require 4 Upgrade Points.]
[And so on.]
"Understood!" Ling Yi nodded.
After giving the sparrow in his hand the order to explore the back mountain for other animals, he...
Ling Yi then jumped down from the wall and picked up the thirteen sparrows that had been knocked down from the ground.
He carried a large handful in both hands and went back inside.
"Sister, look!"
Ling Yi showed the thirteen sparrows to Ling Yun.
"A sparrow? Did you shoot this?" Ling Yun's eyes brightened.
Even a small sparrow is still meat!
"Sis, dealing with these sparrows must be a hassle, right? How do you do it?"
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Leave it to me, it's no trouble at all."
Then Ling Yun threw all the sparrows into the stove.
Ling Yi was dumbfounded. They just burned it with fire?
But less than a minute later, Ling Yun took out the sparrows that had been burned to a crisp.
Then, with a deft touch of her hands, Ling Yun transformed the sparrows into Liuliu, bright red chunks of meat.
"See, it's easy, isn't it!" Ling Yun said with a smile.
Ling Yi nodded, indicating he had learned something.
"You watch the stove fire, I'll go to the back mountain to fetch some water. There's not much water left in the water tank, not even enough to cook rice."
"Sister, I'll go!" Ling Yi shook her head and said.
"You're too small, how much can you retrieve at once?"
"Sis, don't forget, I have Personal Space. I can bring back as many as I want."
Ling Yun nodded in realization, then smiled and said, "I had forgotten, our Little Yi knows immortal magic."
"Then go ahead, be careful, and if you encounter any danger, don't be reckless."
"Don't worry, sister!" Ling Yi waved her hand and walked straight out of the courtyard.
He took out a wooden bucket from the corner of the yard.
"System, I want to upgrade the barrel. Is it possible to increase its internal capacity without changing its volume?"
[Yes, but the host doesn't have enough Upgrade Points.]
"Not enough?" Ling Yi asked in surprise.
Upgrading just a wooden barrel, how many Upgrade Points could it possibly require?
[Host, as you requested, this involves spatial power. Each upgrade requires 100 Upgrade Points, the volume remains the same, but the internal space doubles.]
"This surname isn't good value for money!"
[Yes, host!]
"What about increasing the size of the barrel normally?"
[1 Upgrade Points, doubles the increase.]
Why can't Ling Yi just put water into his Personal Space?
It's not that it can't be done, but that only one drop can be filled at a time.
The Personal Space can only hold items in their entirety.
For example, a bucket of water, a box of gold bars, and a bag of rice.
Therefore, it cannot be filled with water directly; a container must be used.
"Let's not upgrade yet, we'll wait until we get there."
Ling Yi waved his hand to put the wooden bucket into his Personal Space, then left the courtyard and headed towards the back mountain.
Meanwhile, in the back mountain.
Not far from the spring where Ling Yi and her brother usually fetched water, there was a grove of trees.
Combat is currently taking place in the Lin Zhong.
One side consisted of thirty people, all dressed in black and masked.
On the other side were two women.
One of the women was dressed in a striking red outfit and held a long sword.
They are currently engaged in combat with men in black.
Another woman, dressed in a blue dress, leaned against a tree, holding a sword in her hand.
But he just gripped his sword, his face full of anxiety.
Judging from the way she held the sword, the woman in the blue dress was just an ordinary person and couldn't be of any help.
The woman in the red outfit was now covered in blood, both on her body and face.
The blood was her own, and it was from her enemies.
There were also the corpses of six men in black on the ground.
Despite the vast difference in numbers and the fact that half an arrow was stuck in her abdomen, the woman in the red dress had bright eyes and a calm expression.
He never draws his sword lightly, but every time he does, he achieves something.
This made the men in black hesitant to act rashly.
They could only surround it, but dared not attack easily.
However, this was not a long-term solution, as blood continued to gush from the woman's lower abdomen.
If this continues, it won't last long.
