Chapter 51 Cultivation Program and Exchange
Chapter 51 Cultivation Program and Exchange
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall held their breath, and the astonishment and curiosity in their eyes instantly reached their peak.
The Void-Reversing Celestial Venerable is a sixth-level cultivator on the cultivation side, with a lifespan of up to 50,000 years. Even among the various military leaders of the Starry Sky United Universe Kingdom, he would definitely be a distinguished guest, a peak combat power below the ruler.
Given the extremely high praise given by such a being, it's easy to imagine that this secret technique is anything but ordinary.
Before these people could continue their speculations, Gu Lingxian, who was at the head of the table, continued:
"This technique can open up a special internal aperture for refining external essence blood. When detonated at a critical moment, it can unleash combat power far exceeding the normal level. It is extremely effective even against Nascent Soul cultivators, and the key is that the side effects are minimal."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the main hall.
However, Gu Lingxian emphasized his words and continued:
"This [Mysterious Heaven Blood Burst Technique] was passed down from Xiao Yao to Ping'er, and then Ping'er passed it back to my Gu family. Ping'er specifically instructed that this technique must never be spread on a large scale. My point is that from today onwards, it should only be passed down within our direct lineage and must not be leaked to outsiders."
"Before anyone begins their practice, they must make a solemn vow against their inner demons!"
"That's how it should be."
Gu Lingxian's eldest son, Gu Hong, who is also Chen Yao's maternal uncle, was the first to express his opinion.
"Since this is Xiao Yao's intention, we, as his elders, should not become a burden to him. With Xiao Yao's potential, there is a high chance that he will enter the core of power in the Zhelong Chen Clan in the future. If it is because of this matter..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone present was a core member of Gu Lingxian's faction, so they naturally understood the reasoning behind it.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one objected.
Seeing this, Gu Lingxian nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, everyone, you can all go now. If you want to learn this [Mysterious Heaven Blood Burst Technique], just come find me."
"Furthermore, since Xiao Yao is so willing, you elders should show your support and offer your assistance. Don't let Yao'er become so successful while you're still acting like elders."
"Don't worry, Father."
Gu Hong smiled and said, "We understand."
……
Tianlan Star, Chen Yao's home.
Chen Yao was unaware of all this; at the moment, he was completely absorbed in browsing the family business website.
With 10,000 merit points credited to his account, coupled with the newly acquired elite clansman privileges, the variety and quality of goods he could see had greatly improved compared to before. However, after some consideration, he still turned his attention to the purple [quartz clock face] artifact.
However, instead of making a purchase immediately, I proactively asked a question below the product listing.
"If the item doesn't fit after purchase, can I return or exchange it?"
Yes, most items on the family business network can be returned or exchanged within two days of receipt, provided the item is undamaged.
Having received confirmation, Chen Yao no longer hesitated and placed an order for the unusual item.
After that, he started searching for the keyword "Cultivation Program of Starflower Vine".
As the online search engine started searching, a large amount of information quickly began to pop up one after another.
[Star-Bearing Vine Cultivation Plan One (Superior): Absorbs 5 Life Crystals, 10 liters of Tier 2 Spirit Eye Spring Water, 3 Vigorous Growth Potions, 200g of Tier 2 Spirit Soil, and 500 Low-Grade Planetary Origin Crystals per month. Each cycle lasts three months and requires four cycles to increase growth rate by 100 times over the next ten years.]
[Star-Bearing Vine Cultivation Plan Two (Medium): Absorbs 2 Life Crystals, 1 liter of Tier 2 Spirit Spring Water, 3 Growth Potions, 200g of Tier 1 Spirit Soil, and 200 Low-Grade Planetary Origin Crystals per month. Every three months... it can increase the growth rate by thirty times over the next ten years.]
[Star-Bearing Vine Cultivation Plan Three (Lower Grade): Absorbs 1 Life Crystal, 5 liters of Tier 1 Spirit Spring Water, 3 Spirit-Pulsating Potions, and 100 Low-Grade Planetary Origin Crystals per month. Every three months... This can increase the growth rate tenfold for the next ten years.]
……
After quickly scanning the area, Chen Yao asked:
"What are the specific costs for the superior, medium, and inferior cultivation programs?"
[The Superior Cultivation Program for Star-Bearing Vine requires a total of 6000 Family Universal Points + 2000 Merit Points over four cycles.]
[Medium Plan: 4000 Family Universal Points + 600 Merit Points.]
[Lower-tier option: 2000 Family Universal Points + 300 Merit Points.]
He ignored the Universal Points, as his earnings from exploring alien regions and the Universal Mining Center would make exchanging them for Universal Points effortless. He was mainly interested in the Family Merit Points.
"2000...600...300..."
After a moment's consideration, Chen Yao did not hesitate much and directly chose the best cultivation program.
This plan is significantly more cost-effective. Other members of the clan might be forced to choose a medium or even low-level training plan due to limited merit points, but he has tens of thousands of merit points, so he naturally has no such concerns.
The growth acceleration of 100 times over ten years means that once the entire cultivation program is completed, the little star can accelerate its growth to the level that the original star-bearing vine can only achieve in a thousand years within ten years.
Although the growth cycle of a single starry sky plant is usually measured in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, this is still quite exaggerated.
Chen Yao never imagined that he would cultivate Xiao Xing to the fifth, sixth, or even seventh rank of full maturity in just ten years.
The original star-nurturing vine has grown autonomously for thousands of years. Even if it doesn't reach the fourth tier, it should have no problem growing to the third tier, and at the very least, it won't be lower than the peak of the second tier. This is enough to allow the little star to perfectly keep up with and assist it, rather than becoming a burden.
Upon confirmation, 1500 general points and 500 merit points were immediately deducted from his personal account. At the same time, the business network also notified him that the cultivation resources for the first cycle, totaling three months, would be delivered to his residence within two starry days.
……
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Three days ago, all the resources for nurturing Xiaoxing were delivered. Xiaoxing has already begun to fully absorb the resource formula for the first month, while the [Quartz Clock] artifact that Chen Yao purchased first has only just been delivered to him.
There was no other way; the Tianlan Star Clan had all the resources for nurturing small stars, so there was no need for inter-star system delivery. However, the Quartz Clock was different. This rare item was originally in the hands of another branch of the Chen Clan, so it would naturally take time to deliver it.
Having obtained this purple artifact, Chen Yao returned to the Sky Patrol immediately.
After converting and loading it onto the Sky Patrol, he couldn't wait to start checking the attributes of each component of the Sky Patrol.
