After Luo Ningshuang and Zhou Fan spent a few sweet days together, she went into seclusion to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Zhou Fan returned to Yin Yang Peak, first feeding Fu Fu Jie, who had missed him greatly, and then returned to his room in his Fairy Master's Immortal Cave to check the System panel he hadn't looked at for half a month.
"Host: Zhou Fan
Luck Value: 53800 points
Body Refining Realm: Condensing Qi Early Stage
Qi Refining Realm: Core Formation Early Stage
Physique: Nine Yang Overlord Body, Extreme Overlord Body (Beginner Stage)
Spiritual Root: Inferior Yin Spiritual Root
Cultivation Technique: Yin Yang Dao Dian · Basic Chapter (Perfection), Bawang Jue (Minor Achievement)
Lifespan (Remaining): 420 years
Dao Companion: Yaya (1/3)
Dao Companion Boost: Qi Refining Cultivation speed increased to 3 times the original.
Descendants: 992 (No Spiritual Root) / 9 (Inferior, Ordinary Spiritual Root) / 0 (Not Born)
Hundred Arts of Cultivation: Alchemy (Third Tier), Artifact Refining (Second Tier), Formation (First Tier), Talismans (First Tier)
Evaluation: Supreme Forgetfulness, not heartless; forgetfulness means remaining unmoved."
Looking at his balance of over 50,000 Luck Value, Zhou Fan smiled contentedly.
Originally, after the Breakthrough to the Third Tier, he only had 9800 points of Luck Value left. In the past half month, Zhou Fan had successively crippled and struck down the Sons of Destiny Jiang Yan and Lin Xuanye, harvesting 12000 points of Luck Value and 8000 points of Luck Value from them respectively.
Furthermore, he became bosom friends with Sword Immortal Bu Yu, Luo Ningshuang, gaining 24000 points of Luck Value.
After removing the Protagonist Halo's influence, the relationship between Zhou Fan and Miss Luo progressed rapidly, and they were only half a step away from becoming lifelong soulmates who would never abandon each other.
Once Miss Luo's feelings for Zhou Fan were deeply rooted and her favorability reached its maximum, Zhou Fan would also gain a sum of Luck Value.
One could only say that it truly was the Cultivation World; the number of leeks was large, their quality high, and each female lead had her own unique charm, making Zhou Fan linger and forget to return.
"System, what's the price for the Yin Yang Dao Dian's Cultivation Technique from the third to fourth tier?"
"Reporting to Host! After the basic chapter of "Yin Yang Dao Dian" is the advanced chapter. The advanced chapter has a very large span; cultivating it to Perfection can allow one to cross from the third tier to Breakthrough to the Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan knew that if he wanted to buy the entire advanced chapter of the Yin Yang Dao Dian, it would probably be an astronomical sum, so he asked, "Can the advanced chapter be bought separately? System, calculate how much Luck Value I need to buy only the part from the third to fourth tier."
The System pondered for a moment after hearing Zhou Fan's words before replying.
"Ding! Reporting to Host, after analysis by this System, "Yin Yang Dao Dian" · Advanced Chapter can be purchased separately. The part from the third to fourth tier only requires 12000 points of Luck Value!"
"System, you're amazing! I want to purchase the first part of "Yin Yang Dao Dian" · Advanced Chapter right now."
"(*≧▽≦*) Received, Host!"
A moment later, as Zhou Fan's Luck Value balance became 41800 points, two pages of golden scriptures entwined with Yin and Yang fish appeared in Zhou Fan's Sea of Consciousness.
Zhou Fan did not rush to comprehend them, only asking, "System, with my current Spiritual Root Aptitude, how much Luck Value do I need to Breakthrough from Core Formation to Nascent Soul?"
"Reporting to Host! Under normal circumstances, from Core Formation Early Stage to Middle Stage requires 9000 points of Luck Value, from Middle Stage to Late Stage 18000 points, and from Late Stage to Nascent Soul requires 40000 points of Luck Value."
"It needs that much? System, did you account for the Dao Companion's three-times Qi Refining speed boost?"
"Yes, Host. The Aptitude of an Ordinary Spiritual Root is indeed a bit low during the Core Formation Stage, and Breakthrough to Nascent Soul is even more difficult, which is why it requires so much Luck Value."
"How much Luck Value is needed to advance an Ordinary Spiritual Root to a Yellow Spiritual Root?"
"Reporting to Host! Advancing an Inferior Yin Spiritual Root to a Yellow Spiritual Root requires 27000 points of Luck Value. Does Host wish to purchase it?"
He definitely wanted to buy it, but there was no rush now. Zhou Fan was still thinking about saving Luck Value to buy the Intermediate stage of Extreme Overlord Body.
After all, this Extreme Overlord Body could both increase combat power and enhance combat power during Yin and Yang harmonization, and it could also greatly increase favorability through Yin and Yang harmonization. If it didn't cost 100000 points of Luck Value to purchase, Zhou Fan would have bought it long ago.
"System, don't buy the Yellow Spiritual Root yet. Calculate how much Luck Value I would need to go from Core Formation to Nascent Soul if I had a Yellow Spiritual Root."
"Reporting to Host! After calculation, with a Yellow Yin Spiritual Root and the Dao Companion boost, from Core Formation Early Stage to Middle Stage requires 2000 points of Luck Value, from Middle Stage to Late Stage 4000 points, and from Late Stage to Nascent Soul requires 10000 points of Luck Value, totaling 16000 points."
Zhou Fan calculated and found that while his current Luck Value seemed like a lot, after advancing his Spiritual Root, what remained wouldn't even be enough to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"System, how much Luck Value do I need for my Body Refining to Breakthrough from Condensing Qi to Elemental Transformation?"
"Reporting to Host! Under the combined influence of Nine Yang Overlord Body and Extreme Overlord Body (Beginner Stage), from Condensing Qi Early Stage to Middle Stage requires 3000 points of Luck Value, from Middle Stage to Late Stage 6000 points, and from Late Stage to Breakthrough to the Elemental Transformation Realm requires 15000 points of Luck Value."
The Body Refining Realm could indeed Breakthrough directly to the Fourth Tier, but it still felt a bit wasteful.
"System, what are the advanced Physiques after Nine Yang Overlord Body? What are their prices?"
"Filtering... Ding! Reporting to Host, after deduction from multiple angles by this System, a cultivation route most suitable for Host's Physique has finally been found!"
"Nine Yang Overlord Body → Great Sun Royal Body → Great Sun Undying Body → Supreme Yang Saint Body → Pure Yang Immortal Body!"
"This advancement route can help Host smoothly enter the Immortal Realm, and your Body Refining combat power will definitely be top-tier in the same Realm!"
"System, just tell me how much Luck Value it will cost."
"Reporting to Host! Advancing Nine Yang Overlord Body to Great Sun Royal Body requires 48000 points of Luck Value."
"If Host exchanges for Great Sun Royal Body, the Luck Value required for Body Refining Realm to Breakthrough from Condensing Qi to Elemental Transformation will be reduced by three times, totaling only 8000 points of Luck Value."
"After Extreme Overlord Body advances to the Intermediate stage, by how many times will the Breakthrough from Condensing Qi to Elemental Transformation be reduced?"
"Reporting to Host! Also three times, from Condensing Qi to Elemental Transformation will total 8000 points of Luck Value."
After Zhou Fan chatted with the System about future development plans, seeing that his Fairy Master was still in seclusion, he left the Immortal Cave and went to the Alchemy room on Yin Yang Peak to retrieve and read some Pill Formulas for second-tier Medicinal Pills.
Zhou Fan did not intend to use the remaining 41800 points of Luck Value. His strength, being at the third tier in both Body Refining and Qi Refining, was more than enough to handle the current situation, so there was no need to quickly raise his Realm regardless of cost.
Three days later, Zhou Fan had completely mastered all the second-tier Pill Formulas on Yin Yang Peak.
At this moment, he was sitting shoulder to shoulder with Li Di, happily drinking and boasting.
Ever since that night when the two of them drank Moonlight Brew together, their relationship had grown increasingly better, and now they were as close as true brothers.
Qin Li's personality was gentle and pure. Because of his past experience as a cripple, he was originally a bit self-abasing and introverted.
But recently, the two of them ate together every day, and under Zhou Fan's big-brother-like guidance, Qin Li gradually found the confidence a Son of Destiny should possess.
Just as the two of them were drinking cup after cup, enjoying themselves immensely, a clear and resonant cry echoed throughout Luoyun Temple, and a beautiful Azure Phoenix phantom rose from within Yin Yang Peak.
Luan Feng Immortal, Nangong Wan, had emerged from seclusion.
