Insufficient funds to upgrade

“Ding! Consumed 1 million low-grade spirit jade, the One-Click Treasure Hunt function has been upgraded to level 15, and the number of Treasure-Hunting Flying Squirrels has increased to 87,296!”

“Ding! Congratulations on upgrading the One-Click Treasure Hunt function to level 15. You have gained a new bonus function, ‘Advance and Retreat Without Injury’!”

“Ding! The Treasure-Hunting Flying Squirrels’ damage immunity level has been upgraded to Martial God-level, capable of immunizing against damage at or below Martial God-level!”

“Ding! Consumed 1 million low-grade spirit jade, the One-Click Array Forging function has been upgraded to level 12, capable of forging arrays of Immortal-grade and below!”

“Ding! Upgrading the One-Click Alchemy function requires 1 million high-grade spirit jade. Insufficient funds, unable to upgrade!”

“Ding! Upgrading the One-Click Artifact Forging function requires 1 million high-grade spirit jade. Insufficient funds, unable to upgrade!”

“What!? Upgrading One-Click Alchemy and One-Click Artifact Forging requires 1 million high-grade spirit jade!?”

Su Lang’s eyes widened, so surprised he almost became dazed!

One million high-grade spirit jade, that’s equivalent to ten billion low-grade spirit jade!

The system is too unscrupulous!

It instantly increased the upgrade price by ten thousand times!

“Hiss!”

“This is truly too much of a rip-off!”

Su Lang couldn’t help but gasp.

A moment later, he managed to suppress his indignant feelings.

“Forget it, forget it. Anyway, the array forging and alchemy functions can already forge Emperor-grade treasures, which is completely sufficient…”

Taking another deep breath, Su Lang glanced at the remaining 7.86 million low-grade spirit jade, then shifted his gaze to the mountain of materials.

“With so many materials, and even Saint-grade materials, I wonder if I can upgrade the Nether Sky Sword?”

With a hint of anticipation, Su Lang asked, “System, can the Nether Sky Sword be upgraded to a Saint artifact while retaining its characteristics?”

“Ding! Missing Saint-grade materials: Dragon Phoenix Demon Root * 2, Earth Core Treasure Glaze * 6, Harmonious Saint Jade * 1…”

“Holy crap, missing so many materials?”

Su Lang frowned, “It seems I’ll have to go out and search for materials!”

Of course, before going out to travel, he had to deal with the matters of Blue Star and the Wind Spirit Race first.

Currently, Empress Huangfu Qin is appeasing the Wind Spirit Race, and Yan Hengxing is managing Blue Star. It shouldn’t be long before both races recover their peace from the great war.

“The most urgent task is to improve my cultivation!”

Su Lang asked, “System, how much longer until I can advance to Intermediate Martial King?”

“Ding! Host, you only need 6 hours to advance to the Intermediate Martial King realm!”

“6 hours?”

“That’s right. Although my One-Click Cultivation has been upgraded to level 16, it has only been two or three hours since my last breakthrough.”

“Tsk tsk, so many things happened in these two or three hours: killing five Martial Gods, forcing Empress Huangfu Qin to surrender, ending the war between the Wind Spirit Race and the Human Race…”

While sighing with emotion, Su Lang continued to ask, “How much longer until the cultivation techniques I’m practicing reach perfection?”

“Ding! Host, ‘Thunder Domain Shocking Thunder Profound Method’, ‘Thunder Shadow Absolute Life Diagram’, and ‘Divine Gang Primordial Profound Art’ will reach perfection in 50 minutes. ‘Heavenly Firmament Bright Body Scroll’ will reach perfection in 22 hours!”

The Heavenly Firmament Bright Body Scroll was an Emperor-grade body refining technique obtained from Jin Wubai, which could greatly enhance defense and stamina attributes!

“Hehe, it’s just as I expected.”

“With One-Click Martial Arts upgraded to level 16, the time required to practice King-grade techniques is getting shorter and shorter.”

“And the time required for Emperor-grade techniques has also shortened to less than a day!”

Su Lang’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. Then he lay down on the ground and feigned sleep.

Half a day passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, the Devouring Clone’s state automatically disappeared after its time limit was reached, and the fourteen clones entered cooldown.

The three King-grade cultivation techniques successfully reached the perfect level.

And Su Lang’s cultivation also advanced to the Intermediate Martial King realm at this moment!

The breakthrough of a minor realm does not involve the sublimation of the essence of life, and there are no notable changes.

It's nothing more than the spirit crystals becoming larger, storing more spiritual energy, and the body being nourished and tempered, with all aspects improving somewhat.

“System! Attribute Panel!”
