Chapter 207: Chapter 202: Level Up After Eating Xuanmai

"Wuhu, so comfortable!"

Liang Yi applied the Water Avoidance Technique to both himself and Little Yue Bai.

Now, he was sitting cross-legged in the pool, his handsome face intermittently visible through the mist, and the just-right temperature of the water made him squint his eyes in comfort.

"No, no, I’m here to cultivate, not to steam in a sauna."

It was only after he and the little fox entered the water that they discovered several stone pillars standing three inches below the surface of the water, presumably erected by the Immortal Dynasty for cultivators to use.

"I thought I was going to take my clothes off for a hot spring." Liang Yi sighed, realizing the mist wall was unnecessarily set up.

He could clearly feel rich and pure Moonlight Power and warm Sword Qi floating in the mist above the pool, both being absorbed into his body as he took in Spiritual Power, continuously conditioning and improving his physique.

Moonlight Power had an excellent effect on nurturing the Divine Soul, while the warm Sword Qi progressively enhanced the cultivator’s body’s adaptability to Sword Qi.

Additionally, hidden within the Sword Qi were glimpses of profound realizations from a great Sword Dao master, which could greatly benefit Sword Cultivators and even provide an opportunity to comprehend the Sword Dao Path of that great master.

However, Liang Yi didn’t need it. Although the sword marks on the stone walls were ancient yet imposing, demonstrating the prowess of that great Sword Dao master, they could not compare to his own master and the Sword Immortal Realm he had experienced, so he just needed the Moonlight and Sword Intent to train his Divine Soul and body.

After all, it was rare to encounter such pure Moonlight and gentle Sword Intent.

Normally, the power of Moonlight was as cold as profound ice, and the intent of the Sword Dao was extremely sharp—absorbing these forces directly into the body would be agonizing, only masochists and body refinement fanatics would do such a thing. But now, after such a miraculous collision, both had become beneficial for the body to absorb.

"Also, it’s a good opportunity to splurge some Experience."

Looking at the 640W experience displayed on his panel, Liang Yi fell into thought on how to maximize the value of this experience.

If he abandoned upgrading skills, he could directly soar to level 40, reaching the Great Perfection of the Third Realm, and after delivering the medicine to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, he could almost enter level 41, which is the Fourth Realm.

Having decided to specialize in the Sword Dao, Liang Yi naturally wouldn’t waste experience on unnecessary skills unless he had no other option.

Boundless Dao, Immaculate Sword Technique, and Qinglian Creation were all at their fifth levels, and breaking through would be astronomically expensive. Even with the experience reduction from Boundless Dao, all his experience would only suffice for one upgrade, which was too costly for its worth.

"The most important thing now is to raise my level first," he decided, handling the affairs of the Demon Clan and then moving into level 41 after that by using a one-off Secret Realm discovered by a player in a past life as a stepping stone to enter the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm.

With this thought, Liang Yi no longer hesitated, waved his hand grandly, and began to spend experience to level up one level at a time.

After all, there was no rush for three days, and although leveling up 6 levels at once might look impressive, he would be the one to suffer in the end. Besides, with no one else around except a little fox, who was there to show off to?

On the other side of the mist wall, Little Fox was seizing the precious opportunity given by Liang Yi, eagerly absorbing the Moonlight in the pool, her body telling her the benefits of absorbing more of this Moonlight were immeasurable.

Little Fox didn’t realize that as she absorbed the Moonlight, the color of the ears on her head and the tail behind her gradually changed from red to white, and even beside one tail, there were shadowy figures of eight more tails.

For a cultivator, once they start on the path of cultivation, the concept of time gradually becomes weak, capable of being a momentary thousand years or a thousand-year moment, let alone a mere three days?

When Liang Yi opened his eyes again, he had stopped the operation of Boundless Dao and took a deep breath.

A massive amount of Moonlight was extracted from the pool, surging directly into Liang Yi’s body.

The violent absorption even caused the entire pool’s water level to drop visibly, and the crescent moon hanging in the sky dimmed slightly.

As the last bit of extracted Moonlight entered Liang Yi’s body, his Divine Soul became utterly stabilized. Not only did his old injuries heal, but he also made further progress beyond the hundred-foot pole!

Gu Qingniu and Wen Xiang had administered a large amount of Spiritual Medicine for healing Divine Soul to Liang Yi during his sleep. However, the medicine was so potent that Liang Yi had not fully absorbed and refined it; instead, it had unconsciously accumulated in his Sea of Consciousness.

During this opportunity, Liang Yi finally digested it completely and used this power to break through his previous Divine Soul limit, elevating his Divine Soul to a new level of quality.

"Level 40 now."

"Feels good!" Liang Yi stretched lazily, feeling a surge of strength throughout his body.

"However, such grand-scale missions can only appear once per version, as too many would cause psychological fatigue among players. Also, when the players’ levels increase in the future, their autonomy will significantly increase. They will start to analyze and decide the direction of the missions instead of blindly following what is tasked."

In fact, Liang Yi felt the same—if he was still a player from his past life encountering various missions, he would not simply comply with them as he did.

Just like this mission involving the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits.

In his previous life, Liang Yi would definitely investigate the internal forces within the Demon Clan, the current control of the Demon Emperor over the Demon Clan, and whether there were any opposing factions.

After all, in any force, issues concerning the succession of the leader often indicate a period of turmoil and bloodshed.

He could have sold this information to the opposition, or used the medicine to anonymously threaten the Demon Emperor amongst other strategies, as long as the gains surpassed the costs—what couldn’t a player do?

But, in this life, he just wanted stability!

With the system panel at his disposal, as long as he keeps developing quietly, the peak position in this life will surely bear his name. Why bother creating unnecessary complications?

Nevertheless, the prerequisite for undertaking these missions is that they do not threaten Liang Yi’s current interests and they align with his personal goals while still offering significant rewards.

Simply put, Liang Yi wants to stand firm and earn money at the same time!
