Planetary Level 100-Draw, Add Points to Artistic Conception!
"Let's start with a 100-draw and test the waters!"
A 10-draw cost nine million Black Dragon Coins, so a 100-draw would only cost 90 million.
It was less than 100 million. With a fortune of 35.2 billion Black Dragon Coins in hand, Li Jing naturally didn't mind.
He treated it as a way to test the waters of the Planetary Level card pool.
Soon, the special effects of supernovas exploding flashed across the system's card pool interface, one after another.
Only after all 100 cards had been drawn did Li Jing begin examining them closely.
The 100 draws yielded 92 white common N cards, seven green rare R cards, and one blue epic SR card.
The common N cards were all experience cards: 50 Realm Experience Cards and 42 Comprehension-Type Experience Cards.
Each Realm Experience Card provided a small amount of the experience needed to raise his realm when used.
In other words, with enough Realm Experience Cards, Li Jing could quickly accumulate the energy needed to advance from Planetary Level First Stage to Planetary Level Nine.
All told, their effect was not much different from the Strength Cards in the Apprentice Level card pool. Both were used to raise one's realm.
They were something of a chicken rib to Li Jing.
After all, in the universe, a genius could build up energy within the same major realm through steady grinding.
They didn't encounter all sorts of bottlenecks like ordinary people did.
Even that steady grinding could be skipped with Nutrient Solution.
Spending Black Dragon Coins to draw Realm Experience Cards was much the same as spending them on Planetary Level Nutrient Solution.
Still, there was one advantage Realm Experience Cards had over Nutrient Solution that had to be mentioned.
If one used another experience card after filling the experience bar for one's current realm,
the card could break through the limit and advance one to the next stage.
For example, it could advance someone from Planetary Level Nine to Star Level.
For those who had been trapped at a bottleneck between major realms for countless years, unable to make an inch of progress, the effect was heaven-defying.
For Li Jing, though, that advantage was better than nothing.
With his current talent and comprehension, he would encounter no barriers to breakthroughs before World Lord Level.
His talent and comprehension would continue to improve through draws from the card pool, so the chance of encountering a bottleneck between major realms was low.
Even so, the Realm Experience Cards gave Li Jing a safety net.
If his talent and comprehension got stuck where they were, he could still smash his way to becoming a Universe Master with experience cards, as long as he had enough money for draws.
Compared to the somewhat chicken-rib Realm Experience Cards, the Comprehension Experience Cards were quite useful.
The Comprehension Experience Cards newly available in the Planetary Level card pool were like a combination of the Movement Technique Experience Cards, Blade Technique Experience Cards, and cultivation manual experience cards from the Apprentice Level card pool.
Li Jing could use them as he wished to add points to any secret technique, domain, or Law Comprehension.
Of course, the higher the level of a secret technique and the harder it was to comprehend, the more experience was needed to get started and improve it.
The same was true of domains and laws.
Getting started with and improving a domain consumed far less experience than doing the same with a law.
There were differences among laws as well: Lower Origin Laws consumed far less experience than Higher Origin Laws.
With enough Comprehension-Type Experience Cards, one could even fully comprehend the Space-Time Law on the spot and rise straight to the rank of Universe Master.
But that was clearly not something the experience cards from the Planetary Level card pool could accomplish.
The experience cards from such a low-level pool could indeed have an effect on the two higher laws of space and time.
But compared to the terrifying experience bar required to improve the higher laws of space and time, their effect was minuscule.
He would be better off raising his strength first and unlocking higher-level draw pools.
With Comprehension-Type Experience Cards from higher-level draw pools, adding points would surely be more efficient.
The seven green rare R cards were also all Realm Experience Cards and Comprehension-Type Experience Cards.
Five were Realm Experience Cards, and two were Comprehension-Type Experience Cards.
The sole blue epic SR card yielded a Cloud Billow Fruit.
It was a type of treasure used to build a foundation.
Li Jing immediately thought of his Cloud-Touching Vine.
Since accepting him as its master, his Cloud-Touching Vine had absorbed only Wood Bud Crystals and had not used any other cultivation treasures.
As a result, both its strength and its potential were below average among Cloud-Touching Vines.
It was only a little better than Hong's Cloud-Touching Vine, which Babata had deliberately forced to grow, leaving it stunted, in order to attract attention and select an inheritor for Yunmo Planet.
Compared with Luo Feng's carefully cultivated Cloud-Touching Vine, which had even absorbed a blood-red fruit far more precious than a Crimson Chaos Copper Mother Fragment while still a seedling, his was worlds apart.
This third-tier Cloud Billow Fruit could make up somewhat for the innate deficiencies of Li Jing's Cloud-Touching Vine.
It was the first plant life-form to accept him as its master, after all, and Li Jing had grown somewhat attached to it.
If possible, he hoped the Cloud-Touching Vine could grow and become a helping hand.
Plant life-forms only needed enough energy and cultivation resources to grow.
During the early stages of cultivation in Swallowed Star, they were absolutely dependable helpers and trump cards.
They only gradually faded into the background in the later stages.
In the 100 draws from the Planetary Level card pool, only the single blue SR card had yielded a physical reward.
This was a stark contrast to the Apprentice Level card pool, and Li Jing wondered whether the card pool had been optimized so that physical rewards could only be drawn from higher-grade cards.
The ordinary white N cards and rare green R cards had all yielded experience cards.
If his guess was right, that would be a good thing!
His experience with the Apprentice Level card pool had taught Li Jing that items drawn from white N cards and green R cards were basically worthless and far less useful than experience cards.
As for whether that was really the case, the results of his later draws would tell.
For now, he would test the effects of the experience cards!
Li Jing pondered this to himself, then first used the 50 white and five green Realm Experience Cards to raise his Spirit Reader and warrior realms at the same time.
As he used the Realm Experience Cards, the miniature mental power planet in Li Jing's sea of consciousness and the miniature Origin Energy planet in his dantian began spinning faster.
Before long, each separated into a slightly smaller Miniature Planet that revolved around the original.
Each original Miniature Planet also grew slightly larger.
The two miniature mental power planets in his sea of consciousness, which marked his status as a Spirit Reader, changed from transparent to a faint pink.
His warrior and Spirit Reader realms both entered Planetary Level Second Stage!
The Realm Experience Cards worked a little better than Li Jing had imagined.
Next came the Comprehension-Type Experience Cards!
Of the manuals he had obtained before, he had already brought the first-tier techniques Instant Radiance and Arc Light to perfection.
The Sky-Escaping manual did not match Li Jing's attributes, so he set it aside for now.
He had currently mastered only the first layer of the secret technique paired with the Fire Meteor Wheel, a top-grade second-tier mental weapon, and was still short of the thirtyfold Mental Power Amplitude required for the second layer.
Should he add points to the Fire Meteor Wheel's paired secret technique, or to his Artistic Conception Level comprehension?
Without hesitation, Li Jing made up his mind-he would add points to Artistic Conception!
His Artistic Conception had already reached perfection; he was only one step away from a domain!
