Chapter 48: Preparing for Impact
Yang Tong stayed at home for half a month, during which he not only recuperated but also accumulated energy. At the same time, he comprehended his will to survive, and it was mainly because Yang Tong's soul had already condensed that he could comprehend his will so quickly, with such a solid foundation, it wasn't too difficult to comprehend his will.
Yang Tong had already planned to break through the foundation-building period recently. Foundation-building is a threshold for cultivating immortality, and in the ancient civilization of the immortals, there was a kind of elixir called the foundation-building pill. For those with exceptional talent, one foundation-building pill would be enough to build their foundation. At worst, taking several more pills would also work.
But now, where can Yang Tong find the foundation-building pill? Yang Tong tragically discovered that in the inheritance of the Jade Clear sect, although there were some pill formulas passed down, they were biased towards refining treasures. The Dao of Dan only accounted for one-thousandth of the inheritance, and a few pill formulas were also used as auxiliary cultivation tools, all of which could only be used after the merging body period. As for foundation-building pills like Zhu Ji Dan, there simply weren't any.
So Yang Tong could only find a way in modern civilization.
Early this morning, Yang Tong went to the Mercenary Guild. As a peripheral member of the Mercenary Guild, he naturally sought help from them when something came up.
Arriving at the Mercenary Guild branch in Luoxing City, this mercenary guild is even larger and more prosperous than the one in Luoyu County. The number of mercenaries coming and going here is countless, and the entire hall is more than twenty times larger than the mercenary guild hall in Luoyu County.
Yang Tong went up to the second floor, showed his ID card, and was immediately taken to a ordinary conversation hall. On the way, Yang Tong met an acquaintance.
"Huh? Director Li, what are you doing here?" Yang Tong greeted, running into Li Fangxin at that very moment.
"Hello, Mr. Li," said the ordinary staff member who was leading the way, greeting him respectfully.
"Hey, Yang Xiaozi, isn't this just a promotion for me? I've been promoted to the city to serve as an executive." Li Fangxin warmly greeted, Yang Tong was his benefactor after all. If it weren't for his Earth Soul Crystal, he wouldn't have been promoted to the city either. Although his position wasn't as grand as before, his power wasn't small either. The benefits he gained were more than before, at least in the city there wouldn't be any danger of barbarian beasts attacking the city. "You can go down now, this is our own people, I'll take care of it."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." The receptionist left.
"Yang Xiaozi, let's go, go to the conversation room and chat." Li Fangxin brought Yang Tong to the conversation room.
"Sit down, what are you going to buy this time?" Li Fangxin asked with a smile.
"I need information on a continental scale." Yang Tong said bluntly.
"Has your father ever impacted the Earth level? Lee Fangxin asked in surprise, then carefully measured Yang Tong again, and was shocked to the point of jumping up, "You, you've actually reached the ninth level of apprenticeship? How is this possible?"
This is an opportunity that every martial artist who has reached the peak of the 9th rank will choose. Among the 9th rank martial artists, there are many who have grasped their will and have the qualifications to impact the Earth level. This is a chance to leap from being a carp to becoming a dragon, if successful, one can ascend to heaven in one step, but if failed, they will naturally return to their original form, and the opportunity to try again will be much smaller. Moreover, the timing of impacting the Earth level must be younger, over 40 years old, basically the potential will be exhausted.
Without systematic methods to help them, they can only rely on external resources to pile up, and maybe they can succeed. After all, special cases like Zheng Meimei won't happen often.
Yang Tong's father had charged once before
Yang Tong nodded and replied: "Having made a fortune, it's only natural to spend it on the blade, otherwise it will go moldy in the bank."
"Also true." Li Fangxin knew that Yang Tong had become rich, and saw that a martial artist of the apprentice level could indeed be built up with a large amount of resources. With Yang Tong's wealth, reaching this level was surprisingly fast, but not unexpected.
"You really want to attempt the Earth-level? You know that a person only has this one chance in their lifetime. Don't you think you should prepare more thoroughly?" Li Fangxin advised, if he failed, basically for his entire life he would be stuck at the apprentice level, unless he paid a huge price to undergo artificial awakening.
"A single breath of energy, weakened after two attempts, and exhausted after three." Yang Tong nodded solemnly in response.
Heaven is fair, any ordinary person, cultivating to the limit of an ordinary person, has the opportunity to impact awakening, this is a forced impact, not a natural awakening.
"Alright, the top floor of the Mercenary Guild has a specialized training room with an array that can gather three to ten times the concentration of spiritual energy. There are also some external resources for impact. I can help you prepare, but the cost is unavoidable. With your permissions, you can only apply to use the five-fold spiritual energy concentration training room, which costs 300,000 spiritual coins per day. I can use my permissions to provide a ten-fold spiritual energy training room for you, which would be 3,000,000 spiritual coins per day.
As for the Body Refining Cream, Mind-Enhancing Pills, and Spirit Ascension Water, they are all fourth-grade medicinal substances. The cream costs 60,000 spiritual coins for three portions, the pills cost 150,000 spiritual coins per bottle, and the water costs 500,000 spiritual coins for ten liters.
Breaking through to the Earth Level is unpredictable - it could take a day, or it could take half a month, or even half a year. Can you afford such losses?" Li Fang asked sincerely.
It's simply wishful thinking to think that outsiders would want to use the Mercenary Guild's training room. Of course, there are also external rental-type training rooms, which are generally two to three times more expensive and not cheap.
A tenfold spiritual energy training room, outsiders and even peripheral members of the Mercenary Guild are just fantasies. As Li Fangxin is an executive of the Luoxing City Mercenary Guild, he naturally has permission to use the tenfold training room, but this is not free to use.
Yang Tong's face lit up with joy as soon as he heard, originally Yang Tong only wanted to rent a cultivation room three to five times larger and prepare some additional auxiliary resources. But unexpectedly, Li Fangxin was willing to apply for a tenfold spiritual energy cultivation room for him. Don't underestimate the fact that it's just five times more concentrated spiritual energy, but when impacting the Earth level, even a tiny distance can affect your lifelong prospects.
Many mercenaries outside, in order to become a peripheral member of the Mercenary Guild, use the Fivefold Spirit Refining Chamber, spending several years or even decades risking their lives to upgrade their mercenary level. They all do this so that they can have better external conditions when they challenge the Earth Level.
"Thank you, Lord Li, for your willingness to help. I really don't know how to thank you enough." Yang Tong's heart was filled with gratitude.
"It's nothing, just a small effort." Li Fangxin was making an emotional investment. If Yang Tong succeeded, he would gain the gratitude of this young genius in the future. Even if he failed, he wouldn't suffer any loss, as the Tenfold Spiritual Energy Cultivation Room was going to be charged anyway.
