This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

What should I do if I run out of spirit stones?
The only option left is to grind monsters.

Sorry, monsters of Yanshan Phoenix Domain, it's not that I don't want to let you off the hook, it's that the developers don't want to let you off the hook.

"Sigh, I'm speechless."

Jiang Liu stared at the remaining 2694171 spirit stones in his backpack, feeling both angry and amused: "You damn game planner, you can squeeze every last drop out of me even at a 0.1% discount. You deserve to be scolded!"

Complaints aside, we're still missing the last phoenix feather. The Supreme Summoning can't stop, and we must earn more spirit stones.

He opened the system map, his gaze finally landing on the [Burning Sky Bird Tomb] in the Flame Mountain Phoenix Domain.

This is the third map in the Phoenix Domain of Flame Mountain. He passed by it once on his way to the Phoenix Shop and casually killed a few monsters. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, the monsters here drop pretty good spirit stones, right?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to choose anymore. Anyway, I'll just move on to the next map after I finish this one. I'll have to go through the entire Flame Mountain Phoenix Domain several times.

Let's set a small goal: collect 1 million spirit stones!
Without saying a word, Jiang Liu clicked the teleport button.

[Spend 50 spirit stones to teleport to the Burning Sky Bird Tomb?]

Jiang Liu: “.”

They charge money for this?

Okay, I'll run the whole thing myself. Forget it, I won't waste my time, and I don't care about the money.

【Yes】

A flash of white light, and the pungent smell of sulfur instantly filled the nostrils.

This is a scorched canyon surrounded by lava. The dark red rocks are covered with cracks, and every now and then, crimson lava gushes out from the cracks, splashing sparks everywhere.

On the rock walls on both sides of the canyon and in the sky, there were countless fiery red Skybirds. They were hundreds of times larger than ordinary sparrows, their wings were burning with orange-red flames, and their sharp cries rose and fell. When they saw Jiang Liu, the intruder, they immediately surged over like a tide.

Lots of monsters! Lots of spirit stones dropped!

If you don't die, who will?!
"Well done!"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and the True Phoenix Wings on his back instantly unfolded. He gripped the Hunling Tianyuan Sword tightly in his hand, and his spiritual energy surged into the sword. Crimson-gold phoenix fire coiled around the blade.

"Phoenix Fire Sword Technique!"

Jiang Liu let out a low shout, and with a flick of his wrist, sword energy swept away the more than twenty Burning Sky Birds in front of him like hot oil being poured out!
In the territory of the dragon race, I am the Dragon Slayer Mage; in the territory of the Phoenix race, I am the Phoenix Slayer Mage!
The flames of those Sky-Burning Birds were like paper in front of the Phoenix Fire. The crimson-gold flames burned wildly as soon as they touched their wings, causing them to scream in pain and fall to the ground.

With a light step, Jiang Liu used the speed boost from the True Phoenix Wings to weave through the flock of birds like a ghost. He wielded the Hunling Tianyuan Sword with impenetrable force, and wherever the sword light passed, the Burning Sky Birds turned to ashes, while spirit stones and materials rained down on the ground.

You killed the Sky-Burning Bird.

You killed the Sky-Burning Bird.

You killed the Sky-Burning Bird.

You have obtained 12800 Spirit Stones and 1 Sky-Burning Bird Feather.

You have obtained 11200 Spirit Stones and 1 Sky-Burning Bird Feather.

You have obtained 11000 Spirit Stones and 1 Sky-Burning Bird Feather.

The system notification sound was crisp and pleasant, with no unnecessary paid pop-ups, only pure feedback. He hadn't felt this pure in days.

enjoy!

Jiang Liu became more and more excited as he fought. Every time he cleared out a group of monsters with his sword, he would bend down and scoop up the spirit stones and materials on the ground, stuffing them into his backpack.

The number of Sky-Burning Birds was astonishing; as soon as one wave was cleared out, another wave surged in from the depths of the canyon.

Jiang Liu decided to stop conserving his spiritual energy and unleashed the Phoenix Fire Sword Technique, the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword, and the Dragon-shaped Sword Qi in turn.

The crimson sword energy, the dazzling white sword light, and the phoenix-shaped energy intertwined to form an impenetrable killing net, annihilating all the charging Sky-Burning Birds.

You have killed the elite Sky-Burning Bird.

You have obtained 30000 Spirit Stones and 1 Sky-Burning Bird Feather.

"Elite monster drops are definitely different!"

Jiang Liu picked up the 3 spirit stones dropped by the elite Burning Sky Bird and grinned from ear to ear.

At this rate of monster-killing, it won't be long before he returns to the realm of the super-rich.

The premise is that the monster-killing speed can keep up with his monster-gathering speed.

You killed the Sky-Burning Bird.

You killed the Sky-Burning Bird.

You killed the Sky-Burning Bird.

Before he knew it, Jiang Liu had been grinding at the Burning Sky Bird Tomb for five hours.

"The efficiency is good, but the monster-killing speed is..."

Jiang Liu opened his backpack and found that he had accumulated 1780 million spirit stones.

Each monster drops around 1 spirit stones, meaning he killed nearly a thousand Burning Sky Birds in those five hours.

Is it fast?

Not fast!

too slow!
It's not that he doesn't want to be faster, it's just that the monster-killing speed is like this!
He refreshed the map every hour, and he had already cleared it five times!
This refresh has exhausted everything, and the next refresh won't be until half an hour later.

"I can't be lazy anymore, I need to find another map."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, then opened the system map again and looked at the Netherworld Fire Land, which was connected to the Heavenly Bird Tomb.

If you farm these two maps back and forth, you should be able to seamlessly connect to the monster-farming world, right?
He thought for a moment and then clicked the teleport button.

[Spend 50 spirit stones to teleport to the Netherfire Land?]

next second.

Moving map.

The sky was a somber, dark red, and the ground was covered by a thick black fog. Within the fog, one could vaguely see pale bones and broken tombstones. In the distance, mournful wails and howls echoed, sending chills down one's spine.

A thick, yin energy filled the air, seeping into Jiang Liu's body through his pores, causing him to shiver.

"This place is much more eerie than the Tomb of the Burning Sky Bird."

As soon as Jiang Liu gained his footing, the black mist around him began to churn, and countless ghostly firebirds, each the size of a washbasin, emerged from the mist. They were pitch black, with eyes that gleamed with an eerie green light, and sharp claws dripping with black venom, as they pounced on Jiang Liu.

at the same time.

The bones on the ground began to writhe and assemble into ghostly bone soldiers, each wielding a bone knife and sword, and with stiff steps, they surrounded Jiang Liu.

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

"Phoenix Fire Sword Technique!"

You killed the Netherfire Bird.

You killed the Netherfire Bird.

You have obtained 12000 Spirit Stones and 1 Netherfirebird Wing.

You have obtained 13645 Spirit Stones and 1 Netherfirebird Wing.

You have obtained 11410 Spirit Stones and 1 Netherfirebird Wing.

After quickly eliminating the flock of firebirds, the Netherworld Bone Soldiers had already rushed close.

Jiang Liu neither dodged nor flinched, but instead raised his hand and threw a punch!
"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

One punch clears the screen!
A kilometer-long clearing was created directly in front, and even the ground was blown up half a meter deep!
Using the Ten Directions Suppressing Fist to kill small monsters, which small monster can withstand it?
You have slain the Netherworld Bone Soldier.

You have slain the Netherworld Bone Soldier.

You have obtained 13412 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 10017 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 10114 Spirit Stones.

After clearing out two waves of smaller monsters, an even more powerful monster has appeared!
That was a ghost general from the underworld wielding a ghost blade!
They actually possessed the late-stage Fusion Realm!

terrible!

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

You have slain the Netherworld Ghost General.

You have obtained 22141 Spirit Stones.

For the next four hours, Jiang Liu went into a frenzy of monster-hunting in the Netherfire Land.

He advanced along the fiery path, and wherever he went, the Netherworld Firebirds, Netherworld Bone Soldiers, and Netherworld Ghost Generals were all slain.

As you venture deeper into the fiery land, the boss of this map appears.

A Netherworld Bone Phoenix!
A ghost priest!
They are all at the Great Perfection of Integration!

He's a whole realm above him!

terrible!

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

You have slain the Netherworld Bone Phoenix.

[You have killed the Netherworld Priest] One punch instantly killed two BOSSes at the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm!

He's even scarier than the boss!
You have obtained 101245 Spirit Stones and 1 Netherworld Phoenix Pill.

You have obtained 147100 Spirit Stones and 1 Yellow Spring Water.

"One BOSS costs 100,000 spirit stones, that's an incredible fortune!"

Jiang Liu happily picked up the spirit stones, and his eyes lit up when he saw that there were extra drops.

【Netherworld Phoenix Pill】

[Grade: High-grade Taoist grade]

[Entry 1: After consumption, it increases damage dealt to limited demon races by 200% and defense against limited demon races by 200% (only effective against inferior Phoenix races)]

"It's a top-grade Dao Pill!"

Jiang Liu was initially delighted, but after seeing the attributes, his joy vanished.

Increases damage by 200% and defense by 200% only against inferior Phoenix Clan?

Is this even worthy of being called a top-grade Dao pill?

My personal rating is garbage!
He casually swallowed it, then looked at the Yellow Springs Water.

【Yellow Spring Water】

[Grade: High-grade Taoist grade]

[Entry 1: After consuming this item, it restricts an enemy player's respawn time by 5 minutes after defeating them, lasting for 1 hour.]

"This is actually a PVP item?!"

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment. He never expected that this map could drop PVP items!

Drinking the Yellow Spring Water and killing a player will prevent them from resurrecting for 5 minutes, lasting for 1 hour!

It has amazing effects, so keep it safe.

After collecting the Yellow Spring Water, he continued to grind monsters back and forth between the [Burning Sky Bird Tomb] and the [Netherworld Fire Land].

Time passed second by second, and the number of his spirit stones skyrocketed like a rocket, from 680 million to 1800 million, and then to 4500 million.
As he cleared more and more waves, his efficiency increased, and soon, two maps were no longer enough for him.

New map!

Who will be the next victim?
Jiang Liu opened the system map again and selected the higher-level [Ancient Phoenix Cave].

[Spend 100 million spirit stones to teleport to the Ancient Phoenix Cave?]

【Yes】

With a flash of white light, Jiang Liu was teleported to a magnificent Phoenix Cave.

The Phoenix Cave was brightly lit, with fist-sized luminous pearls embedded in the walls, emitting a soft white light.

The ground was covered with golden phoenix scales, which felt soft and fluffy underfoot. The air was filled with a rich phoenix aura that made people feel refreshed.

From the depths of the distant cave, came the deep, majestic cries of phoenixes, filled with power and majesty.

The monsters here are mainly ancient young phoenixes and phoenix guards.

The ancient phoenix was the size of a small foal, covered in golden or silver scales, with thick limbs, sharp claws, and the ability to spew out phoenix breath of different attributes.

The Phoenix Guards are humanoid phoenixes, wearing armor inlaid with phoenix scales and wielding phoenix-patterned battle swords or spears. Their aura is much stronger than that of the ancient young phoenixes.

A golden ancient phoenix was the first to spot Jiang Liu. It let out a tender phoenix cry and spewed out a golden phoenix breath, shooting towards Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu dodged to the side, and the phoenix breath landed on the ground, blasting a large crater.

"Little bird, who gave you the courage to attack me, the Phoenix Slayer Mage, first?"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

You have slain the ancient phoenix.

You have obtained 21400 Spirit Stones.

"A single monster drops 2 spirit stones!"

Jiang Liu couldn't stop smiling; life was getting better and better.

No further words are needed; the extermination begins.

Next, Jiang Liu began a new round of monster hunting in the Phoenix Cave.

He ventured deeper into the Phoenix Cave, encountering more and more ancient phoenix cubs with increasingly diverse attributes: fire phoenix cubs that breathed flames, ice phoenix cubs that breathed frost, lightning phoenix cubs that breathed lightning, and earth phoenix cubs that controlled the earth.

Each type of phoenix cub's breath has a different effect; the fire phoenix cub's breath inflicts burning.

The Ice Phoenix cub's breath inflicts a slowing effect. The Thunder Phoenix cub's breath inflicts a paralysis effect.

The phoenix cub's breath can summon earthen walls to block its path.

But to no avail.

You have killed a Fire Phoenix cub.

You have killed the Ice Phoenix cub.

You have killed the Thunder Phoenix cub.

You have killed the Earth Phoenix cub.

As they ventured deeper into the Phoenix Cave, the Phoenix Guards began to appear.

These phoenix guards are over two meters tall, covered in thick phoenix scale armor, and wield phoenix-patterned battle swords. Their combat power far surpasses that of the ancient young phoenixes.

But it still didn't work!

"Phoenix Fire Sword Technique!"

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

You have killed the Phoenix Guard.

You have killed the Phoenix Guard.

You have killed the Phoenix Guard.

He fought his way from the entrance of the Phoenix Cave to its depths, slaying countless ancient young phoenixes.

Finally, they've provoked their ancestors!
The boss has appeared!
This ancient thunder phoenix was enormous, covered in purple scales, with wingspans reaching a thousand meters, and capable of spewing world-destroying thunder from its mouth!

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

"Phoenix Fire Sword Technique!"

"Dragon-shaped sword energy!"

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

Jiang Liu unleashed his strongest skills in turn, the crimson-gold phoenix phantom, the golden dragon shadow, and the powerful fist shadow intertwined together, blasting towards the ancient thunder phoenix!

Blood splattered everywhere!
Take them all in one go!
You have slain the ancient Thunder Phoenix spirit.

You have obtained 147111 Spirit Stones, 1 Phoenix Scale, and 1 Thunder Phoenix Pill.

"More extra items have appeared!"

Jiang Liu picked up the Phoenix Reverse Scale and the Thunder Phoenix Pill and looked at them.

【Phoenix reverse scale】

[Grade: High-grade Taoist grade]

[Entry 1: When fused into armor, it increases defense by 200% and has a 10% chance to reflect 30% of the damage received.]

Another piece of fusion armor item, keep it safe!

【Thunder Phoenix Pill】

[Grade: High-grade Taoist grade]

[Entry 1: Increases maximum health by 100%, maximum spirit by 100%, and lightning attack by 100% after consumption]

Hmm, it's alright, I'll just eat it.

For the next period of time, he frantically farmed monsters in the three maps: the Burning Sky Bird Tomb, the Netherworld Fire Land, and the Ancient Phoenix Cave.

The number of spirit stones in my backpack is also increasing.

one day.

Two days.

Jiang Liu stopped, looked at the number of spirit stones in his backpack, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

120 million spirit stones!
We've finally reached our target—no, we've exceeded it!
Who wouldn't be envious of this speed at which money is being swiped?
"I was poor for two days, but now I'm rich again."

Jiang Liu smiled broadly, feeling confident now that he had the goods in his pocket.

Where is the Supreme Summoning? I will end the last phoenix feather!
[Spend 100 million spirit stones to teleport to Phoenix Illusion?]

【Yes】

Returning to the illusion, Jiang Liu didn't care at all about the spirit stones he had just acquired, and immediately clicked to activate the Supreme Summoning.

The last phoenix feather—if you dare, try and swallow another 1 million spirit stones from me! (End of Chapter)
