Chapter 197: Increase In Dao Marks
Sun Cu was overjoyed. With this batch of immortal essence stones, he could finally invite a Wisdom Path Gu Immortal to plan the development of his blessed land. By introducing more than a dozen species of beasts and plants, he could strengthen its foundation and maximize the gains from his next Earth Calamity.
Coincidentally, he happened to know Wan Lianghan, a Rank Seven Wisdom Path Gu Immortal from the Wan Family.
Watching Sun Cu’s delighted expression, Lin Yan’s thoughts drifted to Stoneheart Blessed Land. From what he knew, it contained only four or five species of beasts and plants. Its foundation was simply too weak, and its annual income was meager, nowhere near enough to compare with the profits from Transformation Stone Immortal Gu
By contrast, Flame Sovereign Blessed Land already possessed more than one hundred Mortal Rank resource points and over a dozen Immortal Rank resource points. The gap between the two blessed lands was already enormous.
Moreover, Lin Yan possessed the two killer moves Feed the Flame and Blazing Prosperity. Either one could bring him enormous profits if he were willing to use them for other Gu Immortals. However, the returns were not worth exposing such valuable methods. Unless absolutely necessary, he had no intention of letting outsiders know about them.
After agreeing on the time for the tribulation, Sun Cu hurriedly took his leave.
For most Gu Immortals, life revolved around only three things: managing their blessed lands, accumulating cultivation resources, and surviving one tribulation after another. Lin Yan was no exception.
Part of his attention remained within the Dream Realm, where the simulation of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land was still carrying out its deductions. It had already produced some results. At its current pace, Lin Yan estimated that after another month or two, equivalent to roughly six thousand days in the Dream Realm, he would be able to deduce a complete method for building a stable ecosystem and begin the fifth phase of the blessed land’s development.
The rest of his time was spent exploring Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit and cultivating. While searching for Flame Path immortal materials, he also continued purchasing large quantities of Flame Path immortal materials through Treasure Yellow Heaven to increase his Flame Path dao marks.
As he ventured deeper into Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit, Lin Yan encountered several Archaic Desolate Beasts lurking in the depths. Their terrifying auras forced him to remain in the outer regions. Even after searching for a long time, he still failed to uncover the secret hidden within Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit.
Whenever he returned to the Dream Realm, Lin Yan continued deducing Flame Path killer moves, striving to fully unleash the power of the seven Flame Path Immortal Gu and Dream Derivation Immortal Gu.
At present, Fire Control Immortal Gu, Three Flavour Otherworldly Flame, Oil Flame, Fire Escape, Fire Transformation, and Flame Eye Immortal Gu all had corresponding killer moves, including several powerful combined killer moves.
In total, Lin Yan had created ten killer moves: Crimson Virtue True Body, Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint, Myriad Flames Return to Origin, Raging Flames Engulfing the Body, Fire Transformation Robe, Flame Escape, Flame Sight, Prairie Fire, Blazing Prosperity, and Feed the Flame Immortal Killer Move. Together, they covered offense, movement, defense, investigation, cultivation, and blessed land development.
At the moment, only Firelike Immortal Gu and Dream Derivation Immortal Gu had yet to be fully developed.
Even so, Lin Yan was not satisfied. He continued deducing new killer moves, hoping to find methods that could increase the time flow of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land or strengthen the dao marks gained from tribulations. Although Feed the Flame could permanently increase Flame Path dao marks, he still felt it was far from enough.
Time quietly passed. Before long, more than half a month had gone by. On the agreed date, Lin Yan arrived at Sun Cu’s blessed land to help him face his Earth Calamity. The entire process went far more smoothly than either of them had expected.
Treasure Yellow Heaven.
Lin Yan’s thoughts entered Treasure Yellow Heaven as he searched for suitable beast groups and vegetation. At present, only about three hundred immortal essence stones remained in his possession. Every immortal essence stone he had saved, together with everything he earned from trade during the past half month, had been poured into the Feed the Flame killer move, consuming a total of ten thousand immortal essence stones.
Adding the immortal materials produced by Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, worth around five thousand immortal essence stones, as well as the Flame Path immortal materials and desolate beasts he gathered from Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit over the past half month, worth another one thousand immortal essence stones, the total value of the resources he had consumed exceeded sixteen thousand immortal essence stones.
The results were equally astonishing. His Flame Path dao marks had increased by another two thousand, bringing his total to more than eight thousand. In terms of dao mark accumulation alone, he had already reached the level of a peak Rank Six Gu Immortal.
