Chapter 367 Earth Dragon Cave
Immediately afterwards, Mu Changsheng devoted all his energy to dealing with the two middle-Nascent Soul cultivators.
Mu Changsheng had talismans flying in his hands. In a short while, the two middle-Nascent Soul cultivators were turned into ashes under the attack of the sea of talismans, without any power to resist.
"Nine thousand four hundred points of military merit." Mu Changsheng calculated quickly in his mind. He was still six hundred points away from the goal of ten thousand. It would be enough if he could kill one of the remaining two late Nascent Soul cultivators.
Speed is of the essence in war. Mu Changsheng immediately dealt with one of the late Nascent Soul cultivators. The other late Nascent Soul cultivator had already displayed powerful self-defense methods, so this one was easier to deal with at the moment.
Under the power of the fifth-grade primary virtual god talisman, Mu Changsheng finally succeeded in killing the late Nascent Soul cultivator.
And just when Mu Changsheng completed the killing, support from the Southern Liang Kingdom arrived again. They had lost four Nascent Soul cultivators killed by Mu Changsheng alone. The loss was too great, so they had to rescue the last trapped late Nascent Soul cultivator.
This time, the Southern Liang Kingdom directly sent two Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak to rescue. If it were not for the fact that they could not send Divine Transformation cultivators, the cultivators who came this time would not have been Nascent Soul cultivators.
For Mu Changsheng, his goal had already been achieved, so he did not confront the two new Nascent Soul peak cultivators head-on, but readily let go of the last Nascent Soul late stage cultivator.
"Woo woo woo woo!" The sound of retreating troops rang out again, and Mu Changsheng retreated safely.
Due to his outstanding performance, Mu Changsheng was summoned by Yuan Ming, the Marshal of the Northern Yuan Kingdom, who praised him highly.
Mu Changsheng took the opportunity to propose to return to Beiyuan Kingdom to retreat and break through, and Yuan Ming naturally agreed.
After getting Yuan Ming's agreement, Mu Changsheng rushed back to Beiyuan Kingdom as soon as possible and used his military merits to buy the Supreme Fruit that could help cultivators achieve the Supreme Nascent Soul 100%.
After obtaining the Supreme Fruit, Mu Changsheng was afraid that something might happen if he was too slow, so he immediately began to retreat and break through.
With the help of the Supreme Fruit, Mu Changsheng's breakthrough process was very smooth. He completed the breakthrough in just four months and formed a Supreme Nascent Soul, which was two months faster than Mu Changsheng's estimate that the breakthrough would take at least half a year.
As he completed the breakthrough, the voice of the Dragon Palace Spirit rang again in Mu Changsheng's mind: "You have completed the sixth test and can get a treasure worth 10,000 top-grade spirit stones as a reward. If you continue to accept the seventh test, if you fail the test, you can only get 3,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"Continue." Mu Changsheng still chose to continue. Although ten thousand top-grade spirit stones were already a considerable gain, it was still far from satisfying Mu Changsheng's needs.
Every time one breaks through a small realm in the Tribulation Realm, one needs to go through a thunder tribulation, and the power of the thunder tribulation becomes stronger each time. Each time one goes through the tribulation, more top-grade spirit stones are needed. Therefore, not only Mu Changsheng, but all cultivators above the Tribulation Realm have a nearly unlimited demand for top-grade spirit stones, and the more the better.
After receiving Mu Changsheng's reply, the Dragon Palace Spirit issued the seventh test task again: "Break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm within five years!"
Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. This task was extremely familiar to him because it took him about five years to break through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm in reality.
If one wants to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm within five years, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is a top-grade spirit stone.
According to Mu Changsheng's experience, using top-grade spirit stones to practice from the early Nascent Soul stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage requires at least three thousand top-grade spirit stones.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of obtaining these three thousand top-grade spirit stones. There is no such thing as spiritual energy revival in this fantasy world, so the spirit stone mines here are extremely scarce.
The scarcity of spirit stone mines means that the output of top-grade spirit stones is also small. In addition, cultivators in the Tribulation Realm need a large amount of top-grade spirit stones to overcome tribulations, so most of the top-grade spirit stones in this fantasy world are supplied to those cultivators in the Tribulation Realm.
Mu Changsheng can only receive an annual salary of one hundred top-grade spirit stones because he has the status of a first-class wise man.
Although military merits can be exchanged for top-grade spirit stones, the exchange ratio between military merits and top-grade spirit stones is fifty to one. If you want three thousand top-grade spirit stones, you will need a full 150,000 military merits!
Mu Changsheng almost risked his life just to gain 10,000 military merits, not to mention how many Nascent Soul cultivators he would need to kill to gain 150,000 military merits. If he really dared to kill so many Nascent Soul cultivators, the Southern Liang Kingdom would never let him go.
Therefore, Mu Changsheng decisively gave up the idea of exchanging military merits for top-grade spirit stones.
As for the method of earning top-grade spirit stones by refining talismans and selling them, it is not feasible because top-grade spirit stones are too scarce in this fantasy world, and no one would be willing to exchange top-grade spirit stones for lower-grade spirit stones.
After denying many of his ideas, Mu Changsheng walked out of the room and came to the mission hall of Juxian Pavilion. He wanted to see if there were any missions to obtain top-grade spirit stones.
After entering the Mission Hall, Mu Changsheng was quickly attracted by a mission: "Go to the Earth Dragon Cave to collect the Earth Dragon Pearl and the Fire Flame Pearl. Each of them costs one thousand top-grade spirit stones."
The Earth Dragon Bead and Fire Flame Bead in this mission, like the Earth Spirit Bead, are all five elements magical objects needed by cultivators to break through to the God Transformation stage. However, in this fantasy world, there are no Earth Spirit Beads and Fallen Heart Fire, so the Earth Dragon Bead and Fire Flame Bead are already the best earth and fire attribute magical objects.
Mu Changsheng wants to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and also needs the Earth Dragon Pearl, so for him, this mission not only allows him to obtain top-grade spirit stones, but also solves the problem of the divine object at the same time, which is killing two birds with one stone.
However, before accepting the mission, Mu Changsheng still had some doubts, and asked the Third Sage Master in charge of the Mission Hall: "Hasn't this Earth Dragon Cave always been a royal forbidden area? Why is it open to us now?"
“You don’t know that three months ago, the Southern Liang Kingdom sent a large number of Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators to break into the Earth Dragon Cave, which is now almost becoming a second Dragon River battlefield.” The Third Sage Master shook his head and replied.
"I see." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. The Earth Dragon Cave is rich in Earth Dragon Pearls and Fire Flame Pearls. Such a treasure land will naturally not be opened easily. Now it is opened only because of the invasion of the Southern Liang Kingdom.
Then, Mu Changsheng said: "I will accept this task."
The Third Sage Master had also heard about Mu Changsheng's performance on the Longhe battlefield, so he did not dissuade him, but directly suggested: "In a month, a team will set out to support the Earth Dragon Cave. You can go with them then, otherwise it will be unsafe to go alone."
"Thank you, Master." Mu Changsheng said with gratitude. He also needed some time to prepare.
Within a month, Mu Changsheng refined a large number of talismans and formation plates. Although his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, he could easily refine all kinds of top-grade fourth-grade talismans and formation plates.
In addition, Mu Changsheng also refined a large number of virtual god talismans of the late stage of the God Transformation Realm. With these talismans, Mu Changsheng can attack or escape, and ordinary God Transformation cultivators can hardly do anything to Mu Changsheng.
A month later, Mu Changsheng followed the Beiyuan Kingdom's support team to the Earth Dragon Cave.
There were thirteen people in total on this trip. Mu Changsheng had the lowest cultivation level, and most of them were in the late Nascent Soul stage or at the peak stage. They were led by three God Transformation cultivators.
The so-called Earth Dragon Cave is actually a complex cave with no bottom. Moreover, this place is located on the edge of the border between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty. It is no wonder that it caused contention in the Southern Liang Dynasty.
