Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 57: Still Poor (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Li Chunfeng opened the list.

The various Xia tribes brought out a great many treasures this time, including cultivators' magical artifacts, spiritual weapons, and even magical treasures.

Martial arts weapons and armor, qi and blood elixirs, and various body-refining secret medicines will also be plentiful.

You can also exchange battle merits for Dao merits, which can be used for various cultivation expenses.

Li Chunfeng has no shortage of Taoist skills for the time being; his main goal is to make up for his own shortcomings.

In the Earthly Realm, the strength of a cultivator is generally evaluated through a comprehensive assessment.

We must consider both offense and defense, while minimizing our weaknesses and limitations in future development, and raising our potential.

There are countless ancient worlds in the Abyss, and the tribulations faced by cultivators are also varied and bizarre. No one dares to guarantee that they can overcome all the tribulations.

Even the five elements and zodiac signs have a system of mutual generation and restraint, so how can the tribulation mission be completely obedient?
You might encounter a targeted challenge that reveals your own weaknesses one day.

Therefore, addressing weaknesses has always been a goal pursued by modern cultivators.

Through this battle, Li Chunfeng also realized that he had widened the gap between himself and ordinary cultivators, and was almost on par with cultivators in the Burning Lamp Realm. However, his competitors were never ordinary people, at least not compared to the residents of Yuan City.

In Yuancheng, it seems to be commonplace for people to possess combat power beyond their level.

Just like this time, he amassed 88,000 battle merits, which is almost comparable to the gains of a cultivator in the Divine Embryo Realm.

"At least I can exchange it for something useful right now," he thought.

Then I saw something that shouldn't have been on the exchange list, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

"The Three Treasures of Embryo Formation!"

As everyone knows, there are 60 million cultivators in the Celestial Court, but the vast majority of them are first or second-tier beings.

A cultivator's strength cannot be improved, but the Abyss Tribulation waits for no one.

If the number of Abyss Tribulations increases while the difficulty of the Abyss Tribulations continues to decrease, the final result is predictable.

Moreover, the figure of 60 million cultivators was based on previous statistics.

The total number of cultivators is definitely declining. The number of new generation cultivators born in the Earthly Realm is generally less than the number of cultivators who die after failing to complete their tribulation.

Divine Embryo Realm: Condensation of the Divine Embryo.

It used to be said that it was best to condense the divine embryo before the age of sixty, but now... it's already good enough to live to that age.

Faced with this predicament, the Celestial Court did not remain inactive.

Under the Celestial Court, whether it's the three major academies, the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Dao Palaces, or the one hundred and eight Dao Academies below, any cultivator student who has been officially admitted to them will be given an opportunity to condense a divine embryo.

This opportunity, besides a third-tier spiritual land, also includes one of the "Three Treasures for Embryo Formation," which can help increase the success rate of embryo formation.

The Celestial Court had long ago developed a formula for the "Divine Embryo Pill," a targeted aid in the formation of the fetus.

It can increase the probability of condensing a divine embryo by 30%.

However, the main ingredients for refining the 'Divine Embryo Pill' are extremely precious, especially one of the main ingredients, which is also one of the main ingredients for refining the even higher-grade Yin Spirit Pill. Being able to refine the Yin Spirit Pill certainly makes it superior to refining the Divine Embryo Pill.

Therefore, in principle, the Earthly Realm prohibits the refining of 'Divine Embryo Pills'.

As an alternative, the Celestial Court developed three treasures for condensing the divine embryo: the 'Protective Aperture Pill', the 'Ascending Spirit Fire', and the 'Embryo-Condensing Liquid'.

Each of these treasures can increase the success rate of condensing a divine embryo.

Although not as effective as the 'Divine Embryo Pill', it is still a divine medicine that cultivators flock to and cannot obtain.

Among them, the 'Protective Aperture Pill' can protect a cultivator from damage to their divine aperture after a failed attempt to condense their embryo, and at least ensures that they can survive the failure.

After consuming 'Ascending Spirit Fire', one can temporarily enhance their spiritual pressure, making it easier for cultivators to control their surging spiritual power.

The 'Embryonic Elixir' is the key to promoting the merging of a cultivator's three souls and seven spirits into one, ultimately forming a divine embryo.

This entire set of elixirs is called the "Three Treasures for Condensing the Embryo"!
Even with such treasures, the materials needed to refine them are extremely precious, and the Celestial Court's production has always been poor.

Even if you collect all three, the effect may not be as good as the 'Divine Embryo Pill'.

The Celestial Court chose this special moment, after the great battle in the Ghost Realm, to release the Nascent Soul Treasure, which was naturally a blatant and overt scheme.

Once the news reaches the Earthly Realm, it will likely spark a frenzy of cross-realm adventures.

Li Chunfeng browsed the forum, and as expected, it was in an uproar.

Countless cultivators spread the news.

Some were even so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, feeling that their hard times were finally over.

Martial artists cannot truly empathize, but they have all witnessed the predicaments faced by cultivators.

Moreover, the Celestial Court did not show favoritism this time.

This time, the precious pill, the Human Essence Pill, was also released to martial artists.

The Human Essence Pill originates from the Kunlun Imperial Academy and is a top-tier elixir for strengthening the body's foundation and cultivating vital energy. It is equally effective for lower-level martial artists breaking through to higher realms. Anyone who consumes it can solidify their vital energy, eliminate hidden health problems, and enhance their martial arts potential.

Martial arts body training is a process of constantly breaking through the limits of the body, which is very domineering. Inevitably, some hidden dangers will remain after body training.

Once hidden dangers accumulate, many people will be unable to make any progress.

If they had the Human Essence Pill, it could help them advance to the next level.

However, the Human Essence Pill is no less precious than the 'Three Treasures for Condensing the Embryo' for cultivators, and its difficulty also lies in the scarcity of refining materials. The appearance of the Human Essence Pill this time naturally excited the martial artists.

Li Chunfeng's martial arts realm is the Bone Strengthening Realm, and his Divine Soul Realm is at the seventh level of the Divine Realm.

The martial arts realm is still far from breaking through, but the Human Essence Pill is something to look forward to.

The spiritual realm is a bit more urgent.

The three realms are: the realm of divine enlightenment, the realm of igniting the lamp, and the realm of divine embryo.

At his rate of advancement, it won't be long before he's also struggling to condense his divine embryo.

Planning ahead and making preparations in advance is the way of the wise.

Therefore, the items offered for exchange at this station were extremely attractive to Li Chunfeng.

However, each of the three treasures for condensing the embryo requires 50 battle merits to exchange.

Li is still far from being good enough.

The Ghost Realm also stipulated that only battle merits could be exchanged, which immediately made battle merits seem precious.

Even at such an exorbitant price, the three treasures for fetal development are still in high demand and short supply.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people who had redeemed their items had exceeded three digits.

It seems a big shot has made a move.

Countless cultivators were anxious. They were not worried about not accumulating enough battle merits, but they were very worried that the official stockpile this time would not be enough.

If someone else redeems all of them first, what use are these battle merits to them?

However, the Human Essence Pill only requires 30 battle merits to exchange.

88,000...

Li Chunfeng couldn't exchange any of them.

He regretted not taking the risk of pressing the attack and gaining more merits.

Many of the other items exchanged were also things that Li Chunfeng needed.

However, he has a large amount of Daoist cultivation points at his disposal, which he can use to purchase items, so he will not waste his battle merits.

"Sincerely seeking to purchase war merits; price negotiable!"

Li Chunfeng suddenly saw this trending post.

Wait, how can war merits be transferred?

Upon closer inspection, he realized what the wise person had done:
The ratio of battle merits to Dao merits is one to five.

Now, some people are willing to spend more Taoist merit to have those with high battle merits help them exchange for the items they desire.

This could be seen as a disguised way of transferring military achievements.

The authorities have not imposed any ban on this.

Li Chunfeng was intrigued. Should he try acquiring it as well?
Even if the exchange rate for battle merits skyrockets to 1:10, 500,000 battle merits will only amount to 5 million Dao merits.

Although it was obvious that he was at a great disadvantage, his Taoist cultivation came easily.

After browsing the posts for a while, I found that most of the comments were just discussions, and there were very few truly useful comments.

It seems that everyone's battle merits are quite scarce and not yet at the point where they can be exchanged.

So I'll hold back for now.

Then he saw a message: The mission lobby has reopened.

He immediately abandoned his thoughts of military achievements and headed straight for the mission hall.

"Only a million?"

Due to the impact of the war, the number of lantern ghosts acquired in the Soul Nourishing Tower this time was far lower than expected.

Li Chunfeng took the lantern ghost away.

He did a math problem himself.

To further enhance the 'Soul Devouring' talent level to the highest Heavenly Rank, the number of Lantern Ghosts needed must reach a terrifying billions.

The current acquisition price is: "10 non-ranked Lantern Ghosts for 1 skill point, and ranked Lantern Ghosts for 1 skill point each."

Although he still had nearly 40 million Dao power points, even after spending them all, he could only acquire 400 million worth of items.

We are still far from our goal.

Still poor.

Therefore, the plan to acquire the war merits was abandoned and not mentioned again.

Besides acquisitions, he can also earn merit through his own efforts.
