This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

The Deep Sea Dragon King got beaten up!
The Deep Sea Dragon King has begun his counterattack!

With a single, delicate opening of its mouth, half the map was filled with dragon breath!

The black dragon breath, like an out-of-control mudslide, swept in with a destructive aura!

Jiang Liu smirked, manipulating his sword dragon form to dodge to the side, while simultaneously unleashing another dragon-shaped sword aura with his other hand.

The moment the golden sword energy collided with the black dragon breath, it stirred up ripples of energy that filled the sky, instantly turning the fish and shrimp in the sea into dust!
"Ouch!"

The Dragon King of the Deep Sea is enraged!

[Note: The Deep Sea Dragon King has entered a berserk state. It is recommended to purchase the [Berserk Suppression Rune] (priced at 10 million spirit stones), which will reduce the BOSS's berserk effect by 100% for 1000 minutes.]

Jiang Liu: “????”

Do I need to spend money to beat a boss?

So I bought this dragon set for nothing?

So all my Dragon Slayer Mage job change was for nothing?

【no】

"Boom boom boom!"

The Deep Sea Dragon King has unleashed his wrath. You are dead, but you have been resurrected.

[Purchase Berserk Suppression Rune?]

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

Jiang Liu was completely bewildered. He hadn't seen anything; all he saw was a flash of black light, and he was resurrected on the spot.

"Holy crap! You think you can just one-shot me without buying these talismans? Game designer, you're fucking idiot!"

Jiang Liu's face immediately darkened, and he pressed the purchase button while cursing.

hateful!

This is a humiliation for Dragon Slayer Mages!

[1000 million spirit stones have been spent to purchase the Berserk Suppression Rune, and its effect has been activated.]

[Deep Sea Dragon King's berserk effect reduced by 100%]

Can you beat me in seconds again?
Then I really won't accept that.

Jiang Liu sensed that the BOSS's attack rhythm had slowed down significantly, so he immediately went all out, wielding the Sword Dragon Holy Sword in his hand and creating layers of golden sword flowers.

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

Die! "

Golden sword light and fist shadows intertwined to form a dense attack net, raining down on the Deep Sea Dragon King like a storm.

The BOSS's health plummeted at a visible rate, dropping from 50% to 10%, and its black dragon scales kept falling off, revealing the bleeding flesh underneath.

Just then, the Deep Sea Dragon King suddenly raised its head and roared, and its huge body began to expand wildly. Its original length of several hundred feet instantly increased to a thousand feet. The black dragon scales on its body shone with an eerie red light, and a pressure several times more terrifying than before spread out from it, causing the entire deep sea to tremble violently!

[Urgent System Notice: The Deep Sea Dragon King has activated its ultimate form, [Abyss Dragon Demon], with all attributes doubled. It is about to unleash its ultimate skill, [Abyss Annihilation], which can instantly kill players below the Tribulation Transcending stage. It is recommended to purchase the [Invincible Shield] (priced at 5000 million spirit stones), which can grant immunity to one instance of ultimate skill damage, or purchase the [Instant Kill Privilege Card] (priced at 1 million spirit stones), which will directly deduct 10% of the BOSS's remaining health.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

666666.

After going berserk, you can transform, right?

This map is purely pay-to-win; you can't beat the boss without spending money.

Damn it, I'm never coming back after I've farmed all the skill upgrade materials!
[1 million spirit stones have been spent to purchase the [Instant Kill Privilege Card], and its effect has been triggered.]

[System Notification: The Deep Sea Dragon King's remaining health has been deducted. You have defeated the Deep Sea Dragon King, a boss in the early stages of the Tribulation Realm.]

boom!
The massive body of the Deep Sea Dragon King crashed to the ground, and the turbid waves it stirred up swept in all directions like a tsunami, almost blowing the river away.

A pile of golden spoils lay scattered on the seabed, among which was a letter that gleamed with gold.

You have defeated the Deep Sea Dragon King.

[You have obtained 1000 Dragon Crystal Jade, 800 Stegosaurus Scales, 1 Tribulation-stage Dragon Core, 5 Stegosaurus King's Reverse Scales, and 1 Dragon Pattern Jade Marrow]

Big bang!

As expected of a BOSS that costs over 100 million spirit stones to kill, it not only dropped a large amount of skill upgrade materials, but also a Dragon Pattern Jade.

This dragon-patterned chalcedony alone is worth over 100 million spirit stones.

After picking up the dropped item, Jiang Liu couldn't wait to open the exclusive panel for the Dragon Sword Master, open the skills, and first look at [Dragon-shaped Sword Qi].

To upgrade to the next level, you need 100 Dragon Crystal Jade, 1000 million Spirit Stones, and 100 Stegosaurus Scales.

Upgrading to the maximum level requires 1000 Dragon Crystal Jade, 1 million Spirit Stones, and 1000 Sword Dragon Scales, which is just enough materials.

Instantly reach max level!
[Dragon-shaped sword aura upgraded to level 2.]

[Dragon-shaped sword aura upgraded to level 3.]

2000% damage!

It sent them flying a kilometer!

Ten seconds of hard control!

Cool down in 30 seconds!
Dragons deal an additional 1500% damage!

This time he's really become a Dragon Slayer Mage!

But isn't using 500 million spirit stones in one go a bit excessive?

"If the dragon-shaped sword energy is this ruthless, then wouldn't the Dragon-Riding Sword Technique be invincible?"

Jiang Liu glanced at the upgrade requirements for Dragon Soaring Sword and frowned: "5000 Dragon Crystal Jade, 5 million Spirit Stones, and 5000 Sword Dragon Scales, that's a bit too much."

After upgrading his Dragon-Shaped Sword Qi, he was out of materials in his inventory and had no choice but to keep grinding.

Just as he was about to continue searching for monsters to farm materials, a large gift pack suddenly popped up in front of him.

[System Notification: Insufficient materials detected. You can purchase a Material Supplement Pack (priced at 3 million spirit stones), containing 4000 Dragon Crystals and 4200 Stegosaurus Scales.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

When Jiang Liu saw the large gift package in front of him, his face darkened slightly. He was about to curse when he suddenly realized something.

You're selling materials!

You should have told me earlier that skill upgrade materials could be bought!
If I could just buy it, would I still need to grind monsters so hard?

"Buy early and enjoy early, buy late and suffer early!"

[Should I purchase materials to replenish the gift pack?]

【Yes】

【Purchase successful】

You're really good at finding opportunities to exploit!

Buy and buy!
[1 million spirit stones have been spent to purchase the Dragon Rider skin - Nether Shadow Dragon. The Dragon Rider form has been updated.]

Jiang Liu immediately released [Dragon Control Sword], and the silver-white dragon instantly transformed into a Netherworld Shadow Dragon. Its black scales shimmered with a faint purple light in the deep sea, and when its wings spread, they scattered shadowy light fragments, causing the surrounding seawater to distort.

Handsome!
Now only the ultimate skill [Sword Dragon Fusion] remains. The requirements to upgrade it to the maximum level are 10000 Dragon Crystal Jade, 10 billion Spirit Stones, 10 Tribulation Stage Dragon Pills, and 50 Sword Dragon King's Reverse Scales.

The materials required are too numerous; even if we farm for several days, we might not be able to farm enough.

But he wasn't worried, because the planner would step in.

The planners have made their move!
[System Notification: Material shortage is significant. We recommend purchasing the Ultimate Skill Upgrade Pack (priced at 5 million spirit stones), which contains 9 Tribulation-stage Dragon Pills, 45 Sword Dragon King's Reverse Scales, and 10000 Dragon Crystal Jade.]

"Wow, the planner just threw in 5 million spirit stones! Who can resist that?!"

Jiang Liu gasped, gritted his teeth, and stomped his foot.

No, that's not right.

I'll go and fight the Dragon King after I ascend to immortality!
They cheated me out of so much money!

"My skills are maxed out. Next, I'll continue farming for Dragon Pattern Jade Essence, which is needed to refine the Righteous Qi Sword."

Jiang Liu looked at the three max-level skills on the panel and smiled with satisfaction. Then he looked at his backpack, and his smile froze.

Dragon-patterned chalcedony is too rare!
It was synthesized using Dragon Pattern Associated Ore, and even with the ones that dropped, there were only 7!
When will I ever get enough of this?

This is supposed to be a pay-to-win dungeon! Can't you give me a map that guarantees a drop of Dragon Jade? I'll go in no matter how many spirit stones it takes!
As if it had heard Jiang Liu's thoughts, the system's voice followed closely behind.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for purchasing the entire Dragon Clan Shop and successfully advancing to the Dragon Sword Master class. All Dragon Sword Master exclusive skills are now maxed out. Final Bonus Realm - Dragon Pattern Mine Area. This map consistently produces Dragon Pattern Jade Mine. Would you like to spend 5 million spirit stones to open the Realm Portal?]

Here it comes, here it comes!
The final secret realm!
The Matryoshka Map project is finally over!
A hidden paradise of benefits, open to 5 million! This is incredible!

【Buy!】

【Enter!】

[System Notification: 5 million spirit stones have been consumed to open the Dragon Pattern Mine Secret Realm portal]

When the white light suddenly appeared, Jiang Liu felt dizzy and disoriented. When his vision cleared, he found himself standing in a vast underground mine.

Above them were stalactites glowing with a faint blue light, the ground was covered with dark golden vein patterns, and the air was filled with a rich spiritual energy and mineral dust.

Ok?
Is it really a mine?
This time, we don't need to kill monsters; we can start mining right away?
Immortal-grade materials actually have to be dug out.

"This is the Dragon Pattern Mine? It looks quite convincing."

Jiang Liu raised his hand and touched a piece of ore that was gleaming slightly beside him. As soon as his fingertips touched the surface, a system notification popped up.

【Name: Dragon Pattern Associated Mineral】

[Uses: Can be used to synthesize dragon-pattern chalcedony]

[Note: The purity is low, so it is recommended to use a shovel for mining. Mining by hand is only 1% efficient and has a 50% chance of damaging the ore.]

"1% efficiency without manual labor?"

Okay, I get it. The mining shovel gift pack, let's get it on sale already, don't waste everyone's time.

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes. He was about to try to break off a piece of ore with his bare hands when a pop-up window from the system blocked his view again before he could even exert any force on his wrist.

[System notification: The player is not equipped with a mining shovel, which prevents efficient mining. We recommend purchasing the following mining shovel items.]

[Ordinary iron shovel]

Price: 100 million spirit stones

[Attributes: Mining efficiency +200%, guaranteed mining success, 5000/5000 durability, repair cost 2 million spirit stones/time]

[Skill: Precision Mining: 0.1% chance of mining Dragon Pattern Jade]

Jiang Liu stared at the list of mining shovels on the panel, his lips twitching slightly, utterly speechless.

Selling a broken shovel for 10 billion spirit stones? Who gave you the audacity?

If you could dig up a dragon-patterned chalcedony with a 100% chance, I'd accept it, but a mere 0.1% probability for 1 billion spirit stones?!

Moreover, it can only be dug 1000 times, and each repair costs 2 million spirit stones!
What kind of miner uses such a luxurious mining shovel to dig?

I.

[Should I purchase the Supreme Dragon Pattern Mining Shovel?]

【Yes】

[Purchase successful. The Supreme Dragon Pattern Mining Shovel has been added to your inventory. Equip it now?]

【equipment】

Instantly, a golden mining shovel appeared in his hand. The shovel head was engraved with fine dragon patterns, and the handle was wrapped in non-slip animal hide. It was of moderate weight and more comfortable to hold than he had imagined.

Jiang Liu weighed the shovel in his hand and swung it down at the dragon-patterned ore beside him.

duang! duang! duang!

A crisp impact sound rang out, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the ore. A palm-sized piece of ore gradually split open.

The reading bar will now begin.

The loading time for mining is about 30 seconds, which is far too long.

[Mining successful. Obtained 1 Dragon Pattern Associated Ore, Supreme Dragon Pattern Mining Shovel Durability -1 (4999/5000 remaining)]

"Dragon-patterned associated minerals can be considered successfully mined? They don't deserve that!"

Jiang Liu curled his lip, swung the Supreme Dragon Pattern Mining Shovel, and slammed it down heavily against the mine wall!
No more monster killing, time to begin the grueling mining journey! (End of Chapter)
