Chapter 119
After returning to the Nature Pavilion, she placed the Qiankun Bag in their small home.
Other members of the Nature Department would find it difficult to settle in the Nature Pavilion, but Lianxin and Chen Ri could.
Firstly, they weren't afraid of the intense Starlight here, and secondly, they needed a small room.
One futon is enough to make a private room for each of them.
Li Yang had already happily decorated the room for them; Lianxin's room was white, Chen Ri's was red, both colors they liked.
Chen Ri was also very happy. The Mecha Doll, clutching its Qiankun Bag, said, "Li Yang, I will farm diligently."
She had been observing Li Yang and knew that these Star Core were grown from crops.
Therefore, Chen Ri concluded that farming is equivalent to making money!
She will farm diligently and repay Li Yang double the money she spent on her today!
Li Yang smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good, good, good!"
Lianxin couldn't help but feel a little dejected. He said to Li Yang in his Spirit Sea, "It's a pity I can't farm..."
Li Yang was startled and quickly said, "Everyone's situation is different. If you reveal too much, we'll be less safe!"
Lianxin said, "Fellow Daoist, am I too useless?"
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
Li Yang was also at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry...
If we're talking about usefulness, Lianxin are incredibly useful!
But how should I put it?
A thought struck Li Yang, and she said, "Lianlian, you are very important to me..."
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
The little doll's cheeks flushed slightly, and it couldn't help but bury itself deeper into the pile of cumbersome clothes.
Li Yang continued, "You know, the secret treasure that Senior Brother Qingchen gave me requires burning a large amount of my lifespan... Although I have the ability to prolong my life, I can't withstand that kind of life-burning. The reason I dared to use that thing is essentially because I share my life with you."
Lianxin: "!!!"
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
Li Yang continued, "So it's all thanks to you that I dared to use 'Risking Life,' because your lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary people. If you hadn't covered for me, I wouldn't have dared to risk my life like that!"
Lianxin's mood improved noticeably, and her elaborate clothes, which resembled blooming lotus flowers, seemed to flow more freely.
At the same time, it looks better too.
Li Yang found the sight pleasing to the eye, and her mood improved as well. She said earnestly, "So, don't underestimate yourself. You are very important and have helped me a lot."
Lianxin felt she had never heard such a beautiful voice before.
He had never been so happy.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so kind!" Really, truly kind!
Li Yang laughed and said, "You too!"
The system's voice suddenly sounded: [Lifespan unlocked: 20,000 years.]
Li Yang: "???"
What's going on?!
How did the lifespan get unlocked?
She looked at the system panel in surprise; she had actually completed a task.
But where did this Sound of Nature from?
Could it be those few words she said?
That's not right. She talks to Lianxin every day, but she hasn't completed the task.
Li Yang was stunned for a while before she slowly realized—could it be because that sentence had just struck a nerve with Lianxin?
Simply talking won't work, simply saying nice things won't work... Li Yang recognized Lianxin's value, which in turn moved Lianxin.
And this is the Sound of Nature that Lianxin desires.
Chapter 119
This is truly an unexpected delight.
Although 20,000 years is a drop in the ocean for Li Yang right now... it at least solves the immediate problem— Li Yang only has less than 2,000 years of life left.
Li Yang saw a new quest to unlock: collect the Life Extract Liquid.
What exactly is this Life Extract Liquid?
Li Yang learned a lot from following Lianxin.
This unlocking mission is different from before. The lifespan unlocked after completion is no longer 20,000 years, but has skyrocketed to 100,000 years!
I don't know if it's because the mission phase has come to an end, or because Lianxin trusts her more now.
Whatever the reason, being able to unlock more lifespan at once is a great thing for Li Yang!
However, Li Yang was also aware that this Life Extract Liquid was likely to be quite difficult to obtain.
Li Yang tried searching in the trading area...
As expected, no information was found.
A dialog box popped up, asking her, "Would you like to pay 1000 merit points to offer a reward for relevant information?"
Li Yang: "..." She thought Sister Longevity was bad enough, but it turns out that the trading office in the Heavenly Palace is just as ruthless.
Does this information require 1000 merit points?
They're taking advantage of her and ripping her off!
Li Yang decisively clicked "decline".
She'd ask Li Yaowan later if she knew anything about the Life Extract Liquid.
Overjoyed at unlocking 20,000 years of history, Li Yang remotely ordered even more Star Ash Soil and Heavenly Spring Water using her identity token.
Their savings, which had already been halved, are now completely depleted.
Lianxin felt very distressed and kept calling out to her, "Fellow Daoist, that's enough! Fellow Daoist, you mustn't! Fellow Daoist, that's enough!"
Li Yang: "Don't worry about it. Once Professor Li secures the protection of the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, we'll be rolling in hundreds or even thousands of Star Core in no time!"
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
Lianxin couldn't refuse, so she could only extend her lifespan.
Li Yang wasted no time and immediately began to focus on leveling up.
She hadn't had time to cultivate while she was in the Sword Tomb, and now when she opened the system panel again, everything went black.
No wonder many Star Wielders are stuck at the Fourth Grade Realm.
The difficulty of this cultivation is far beyond what the first three levels can compare to; it's more than ten times greater!
Take the Star Aperture as an example. At the first and Second Grade, only nine Star Aperture need to be filled.
Now that they've reached the Fourth Grade Realm, each minor realm advancement unlocks ten Star Aperture.
To advance to the next stage, you must fill all ten Star Aperture.
To be honest, breaking through enemy lines through battle is nothing special.
Especially breakthroughs in smaller phases.
Li Yang could easily find a mission in the Star Combat Division and complete it in about a day.
Even if it's not killing Star Plant, it doesn't matter, as long as it's killing a Fourth Grade Realm ferocious beast!
The real challenge is filling all ten Star Aperture!
In terms of Physique Points alone, Li Yang needs to increase his physical strength from 4000 to 5000 points. If he increases it by one point every 100 years... that would take 100,000 years!
This is just the Physique Points; the Spirit Points is always three times higher...
Therefore, if Li Yang wanted to reach the maximum level, it would take a full 400,000 years.
The sky has fallen!
At this moment, Li Yang even wondered why he should waste his life trying to improve his cultivation level. Wouldn't it have been better to just keep using his Risking Life line?
But soon, she regained consciousness.
One's lifespan is limited; there's simply no way to store up that much lifespan.
So she had no choice but to burn her life to the bone.
I heard before that the Star Wielders with the Spirit Department took 28 years to advance from the Third Grade Realm to the Sixth Grade Realm...
Li Yang still felt it was too slow.
Only now did she realize what an extraordinary talent this was!
Even in seclusion within a small Realm Domain where time flows rapidly,
If one year equals 100 years, then 28 years is only 2800 years!
Let's look at Li Yang again...
This path of defying fate is truly difficult!
Farming!
Large-scale farming is essential!
Currently, the Agronomy Department can only cultivate Third Grade Star Plant.
Based on a 10-year lifespan for each plant, Li Yang would need 10,000 Star Plant to advance to a higher realm...
The number sounded terrifying, but when Li Yang thought of the 27,000 Masterless Sword, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Chen Ri, it was all thanks to Chen Ri that she was able to bring these Masterless Sword out of the Sword Tomb...
Otherwise, where would Li Yang find so many people to farm?
Star Plant grow very quickly; with proper care, they can mature in just one day.
If Masterless Sword were to participate in farming...
Even if each person only takes care of three Star Plant on average...
That's nearly 100,000 plants.
After doing this calculation, Li Yang felt a little better.
She has plenty of "resources," but the problem is that she needs to improve her harvesting speed.
Even with the Scythe of Ice, she couldn't harvest so many at once.
If Li Yang performs consistently, he can harvest about 20 plants with one sickle...
However, with the added bonus from the Chen Ri, it should double in power; that's the power of Growth-Type Divine Weapon!
Li Yang pondered that it would be best to expand the range of the Scythe of Ice further.
If one scythe can harvest 100 plants... plus Jiang Yuqing's unlimited supply of pills...
She can harvest at least 10,000 Star Plant a day.
That's a lifespan of 100,000 years!
Li Yang couldn't bother Li Yaowan right now, so she used a communicator to call Shen Binghua.
"Teacher Shen ~"
Hearing her commotion, Shen Binghua felt extremely uncomfortable. "Get to the point!"
"Professor Li has gone into seclusion."
"Oh." I don't want to hear it; it's so sour it hurts my teeth.
She said it would take at most half a month to complete the repairs.
"Hehe." What a generous gesture, Li Yaowan!
Li Yang might not understand, but Shen Binghua knew the significance of those words.
Forging a natal alchemy furnace is no easy task. Li Yaowan first needs to find a reliable weapon-forging Master who also has the time. Then he needs to gather auxiliary materials (Li Yaowan has probably been preparing for this for 20 years). Next, he needs to rent a small Realm Domain with a fast enough flow of time.
Repairing such a natal alchemy furnace would take at least several hundred years.
Li Yaowan said it would take at most half a month, meaning they needed to find Realm Domain one day was equivalent to several years.
In such Realm Domain, a single ticket costs an astronomical price.
