Chapter 217 - 145: The Building Atlas Has Lit Up 5 Max Level Buildings
Interestingly, the Yunling Pavilion also had a "Life" Upgrade Direction.
Without hesitation.
He immediately chose the first option: increasing Cultivation Speed.
That was the highest priority.
He didn’t stop there and continued upgrading it to Level 6.
"..."
Chen Fan stared at the panel that popped up, his expression gradually turning strange. He once again chose the Upgrade Direction for increasing Cultivation Speed, and surprisingly, it didn’t require any materials this time either.
...
Upgrade!
Upgrade!
Upgrade!
In one go, Chen Fan upgraded the white building, the Yunling Pavilion, to Level 10—Max Level!
The final panel appeared before him.
-
"The Yunling Pavilion has been upgraded to Level 10."
"It has reached Max Level and cannot be upgraded further."
"Acquired Max Level Effect ’Talented’: All Cultivators breaking through to a major realm inside the Yunling Pavilion will receive a certain degree of blessing and enhancement. For example... when a Ninety-nine Percent Body Tempering Cultivator breaks through to Martial King, they will automatically achieve Tenfold Body Tempering."
-
"..."
Chen Fan stared at the effect, slightly stunned.
’Isn’t the effect of a Max Level Yunling Pavilion a bit too exaggerated?’
Indeed!
Cultivators weren’t the mainstream in this world, but they were still needed for operations outside the territory, like for the Wind and Rain Tower. And Tenfold Body Tempering... forget Jiangbei and Jiangnan, it was extremely Rare even in a more prosperous place teeming with geniuses like the Guanxi Plain.
And now...
’He could mass-produce Tenfold Body Tempering Martial Kings?’
He silently closed the panel and looked at Qi Yue, who was sitting cross-legged in the Yunling Pavilion with her eyes closed in cultivation. He suddenly felt a bit sorry for her.
Ninety-nine Percent Body Tempering could be achieved just by taking Martial King Pills. As long as one took a large number of Martial King Pills and then broke through inside the Yunling Pavilion, they could achieve Tenfold Body Tempering. If she had broken through to Martial King just a few days later...
...she wouldn’t have had to suffer like that.
’Ten Thousand Swords Heart Slaying Body Tempering...’
’It hurts just thinking about it.’
’That poor kid.’
After reaching Level 10, the Yunling Pavilion became the second Max Level Building in the camp. And because he had chosen the "Increase Cultivation Speed" Upgrade Direction every time, the current Cultivation Speed had reached 40 times the normal rate.
Back then, it took Zhou Mo a year to break through to Level 2 Cultivator.
Now...
...it would only take nine days.
Of course, the Ghost Stones consumed by the Yunling Pavilion were also far more than what Zhou Mo had used in that one year.
"Not bad!"
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction. Without disturbing Qi Yue, Shao Qiu, and the others cultivating in the Yunling Pavilion, he walked over to the Life Workshop.
"Domain Lord."
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG. The sound of hammering echoed from within the Life Workshop. Seven or eight bare-chested men were swinging hammers, pounding away at their workbenches. Xiaoyu, drenched in sweat, noticed Chen Fan and hurried out. "Is there something you need me to do?"
"Nothing major. I’m just going to upgrade the Life Workshop."
The Life Workshop in the Mortal Realm was currently at Level 7. Upgrading it didn’t require any materials, and it should also have a Max Level of 10. He planned to upgrade it to max in one go.
Upgrading the Yunling Pavilion to Max Level had cost him a total of 90,000 Ghost Stones.
He would never have spent that many Ghost Stones before. After all, the Yunling Pavilion wasn’t an essential building; using 90,000 Ghost Stones to upgrade it would have been too extravagant. But now, it didn’t matter. The Mortal Realm’s trade routes were established, and there were plenty of Ghost Stones in the Warehouse.
「After the rainy season.」
It was a period of development, and his progress was decent, not too slow.
Upgrading the Life Workshop wasn’t expensive. After spending 20,000 Ghost Stones, it went from Level 7 to Level 10, and another panel popped up before him.
-
"The Life Workshop has been upgraded to Level 10."
"It has reached Max Level and cannot be upgraded further."
"Acquired Max Level Effect ’Skilled Artisans’: Items produced in this Life Workshop have a low chance of gaining a special effect upon completion."
-
"Hmm..."
Chen Fan clicked his tongue. For now, this Max Level Effect wasn’t as good as the ones from the Godslaying Cannon and the Yunling Pavilion. The strongest was still the Yunling Pavilion’s, which was equivalent to changing the entire landscape for Cultivators on the Eternal Night Continent.
From now on, Tenfold Body Tempering would no longer be a rarity.
As long as he had enough Ghost Stones...
...everyone in the Mortal Realm could be a Tenfold Body Tempering Martial King. Martial Kings would be a dime a dozen.
"I’ve upgraded this Life Workshop to Max Level. There are several new items that can be crafted, and there’s a low chance they’ll get a special effect upon completion. Go and figure it out yourself."
After giving a few instructions, he didn’t linger, striding toward the City Wall instead.
During the rainy season, he liked to sit on the City Wall. Even if there was nothing to do, he disliked staying indoors. The air on the wall was more refreshing. And after upgrading two more buildings, a change once again appeared on his Eternal Night Lord Panel.
-
"You have successfully upgraded the building ’Yunling Pavilion’ to Max Level, obtaining the Max Level Effect (Talented)."
"You have successfully upgraded the building ’Life Workshop’ to Max Level, obtaining the Max Level Effect (Skilled Artisans)."
"The entries for (Yunling Pavilion) and (Life Workshop) in the Building Atlas have been lit up."
"Three Max Level Buildings have been lit up in the Building Atlas. You have received one Yellow Level Fortune Bag."
"Light up five Max Level Buildings to receive an even more valuable reward."
-
"..."
Chen Fan looked at the new "Atlas" section on the Eternal Night Lord Panel. At a glance, it was filled with hundreds of buildings. He could vaguely make out the appearance of a dozen or so of them, but they were all grayed out.
These grayed-out buildings were ones he had constructed but had not yet upgraded to Max Level.
The remaining buildings were black, and he couldn’t even see their appearances.
Three of the buildings were lit up.
These were the three buildings he had upgraded to Max Level.
"Hmm..."
He nodded thoughtfully. He possessed a wonder, the "Observatory," which was Yellow Level. He had placed it at the very top of Nameless Mountain, and it couldn’t be upgraded.
