"Ding, the system meets the upgrade requirements. Would you like to upgrade?"

"Lift!"

Gao Yan said decisively.

As soon as he finished speaking, a thousand was deducted from his earnings.

At the same time, the system notification sounded again: "System upgrade in progress, upgrade time is six hours!"

A thought crossed my mind.

Gao Yan closed the system interface and took out 1200 low-grade spirit stones, storing them in his mustard seed space. These were spirit stones returned by the system!

Picking up the identity jade token, Gao Yan checked it and found a total of 150 contribution points.

Its predecessor only went out on one mission and only earned 30 contribution points.

To exchange for a Yellow-level cultivation technique, one needs 10,000 contribution points, and my current number of contribution points is far from enough!

I rested for a while.

Gao Yan reappeared in the mission hall!

"Hey, Junior Brother Gao, what brings you to the Mission Hall? I heard you got injured on a mission recently. How's your injury now?"

I didn't run into anyone I knew when I turned in the quest before, but this time when I came back to accept the quest again, I actually ran into someone I knew!

The speaker was a handsome young man at the eighth level of Qi Refining named Yang Fenglai. It must be said that being born in the world of cultivation and nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, he was quite good-looking, even compared to ordinary people.

Not to mention cultivators; none of the outer disciples Gao Yan encountered before had a face value below 80.

The two knew each other because they were in the same batch that joined the Nine Saints Sect.

Although Yang Fenglai also has three spiritual roots and his talent is almost the same as Gao Yan's, he is willing to risk his life.

Since breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, I've been doing quests like crazy to earn spirit stones.

His cultivation level also surpassed that of his predecessor, Gao Yan.

In fact, he had invited Gao Yan to team up for missions, but his predecessor was quite wary.

After Yang Fenglai invited Gao Yan several times, seeing that Gao Yan did not accept, she stopped inviting him.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Yang. My injuries have fully healed!"

Gao Yan smiled and said.

"That's good!"

Yang Fenglai nodded, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Gao, I've formed a small team and am planning to take on a group mission. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining?"

Through magnetic field sensing, Gao Yan could sense that Yang Fenglai had no ill intentions, but genuinely wanted to help him.

"Alright, then thank you very much for your guidance, Senior Brother Yang!"

Gao Yan nodded.

He wasn't like his predecessor Gao Yan, who was both a homebody and cautious. Although he was also quite cautious, he didn't want to be a loner.

Yang Fenglai was taken aback. He had thought that Gao Yan would refuse again like the previous times, but he didn't expect him to agree.

Gao Yan guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yang, I felt that my cultivation level was too low and that I would easily hold others back. Recently, I broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and maybe I have a chance to break through to Foundation Establishment within ten years. So, I have to take a gamble!"

Hearing Gao Yan say this, Yang Fenglai was quite pleased and patted Gao Yan on the shoulder: "You're right to think this way. We immortals should have a heart that strives for progress!"

"Senior Brother Yang is absolutely right!"

Gao Yan chimed in, "By the way, Senior Brother Yang, when does this group mission begin?"

Yang Fenglai said, "We will depart in three days. My team members have gone out to purchase talismans and pills."

As they spoke, Yang Fenglai handed Gao Yan a communication talisman: "Junior Brother Gao, keep this communication talisman. I will let you know before we set off!"

"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Yang!"

After the two parted ways, Gao Yan went to the mission jade tablet, took out his identity jade token again, and accepted the previous three missions again.

Then I returned to my cave and entered my world to cultivate!

After cultivating in my world for about three days.

Gao Yan's figure reappeared inside the cave.

The system upgrade is complete.

You will receive one beginner-level lottery draw and 10 free attribute points.

"System, why is the upgrade reward a beginner's lottery?" Gao Yan asked.

System: "Host, this basic lottery isn't as bad as you think, however, it's only valid in this world!"

Upon hearing the system's explanation...

Gao Yan immediately understood that the items drawn from the beginner-level lottery in this world were probably no less valuable than those from the super lottery in the main world!

Let's not rush into the lottery.

Gao Yan's gaze fell directly on spiritual roots and physical constitution.

His spiritual roots are wind, fire, and water, which limits his potential, and his physique is also mortal.

The attribute points awarded by the system can be used to improve one's spiritual root and physical constitution.

Consuming 10 attribute points can erase one type of spiritual root.

Alternatively, you can consume 10 attribute points to upgrade your mortal body to an intermediate mortal body.

So, should we improve our spiritual roots or our physical constitution?

After a slight hesitation, Gao Yan decided to improve his spiritual root.

Among the three spiritual roots of wind, fire, and water, wind is a rare spiritual root.

If he had only a single wind-attribute spiritual root, he could have easily entered the inner sect.

"System, consume 10 attribute points to erase my water elemental root!"

"Ding! The water elemental root has been erased. The host now has both wind and fire elemental roots!"

With a thought, Gao Yan immediately activated his cultivation technique and immediately felt a difference; the conversion rate increased by more than two times!
