Chapter 6: Struck by Lightning.
Chapter 6
The sixth day after level 5, sunny.
It didn't rain today, so I lost the bet. However, there was no penalty agreed upon when we made the bet, so I decided to pretend that nothing happened.
Xiaoshu had no objection. He didn't mention it, and Xiaoshu didn't ask.
Don't give up, keep practicing.
The seventh day after level 5, sunny.
I have completely adapted to the feeling of being wrapped in mud, and even forgot what it felt like to be covered in mud before.
Very good, it’s still sunny today. Could it be that what Xiaoshu said is true and it will rain for another six days?
Failed to get a response from Xiaoshu today.
Practice.
The eighth day after level 5, sunny.
Bu Xingjin woke up before the sun came out.
There was no need for an alarm clock, because the progress bar of his cultivation was almost reaching 5000, and he couldn't sleep well at all. He would wake up automatically after a while to check the system panel.
Up to this moment, the cultivation progress bar has reached 100%.
Bu Xingjin couldn't wait to click on upgrade.
5→6.
As expected, the cultivation progress bar changed to 0/6000, the experience conversion rate became 4000 experience conversion 1 cultivation rate, and the experience bonus in the sun was +10.
After a brief understanding of the basic information, it is time to enter the exciting stage of choosing one of three upgrade rewards.
This time the three rewards are very luxurious, namely a five-day humanoid experience card, a fifteen-fold increase in experience speed, and advanced full-body tempering.
I want it so much, I want it all. Is this because I’ve been so unlucky these past few days and God’s compensation for not letting it rain?
Why did they come together? Couldn't they just do it one at a time? How regretful he would be if he didn't get these rewards the next time he leveled up!
After hesitating for a long time, Bu Xingjin tearfully chose to increase the experience speed by fifteen times.
As the reward took effect, a ray of sunlight shone on Bu Xingjin.
I saw that the progress bar of cultivation seemed to be on a Hot Wheels, running forward rapidly.
This is Bu Xingjin's imagination.
The cultivation progress bar on the system panel was still very stable, but the +170+170 jumping on it made Bu Xingjin overjoyed and smile happily.
At this rate, he could upgrade again in three days.
According to Xiaoshu, it would take another six days for the rain to come, so he could level up again before the rain.
Bu Xingjin sincerely hoped that what the little tree said was right. He had already developed feelings for the soil on his body and didn't want the rain to wash them away.
…
Six days later, just as Xiaoshu said, the wind started to blow in the middle of the night, dark clouds gathered, and it started to rain in the morning.
It was not a heavy rain, but an ordinary moderate rain that washed away all the dried mud on Bu Xingjin's branches and leaves.
Bu Xingjin completely forgot his thoughts from six days ago and happily played in the rain. He couldn't stand this mud for a second; only a fool would develop feelings for it.
If someone could open Bu Xingjin's system panel, they would see that he was at level 6 six days ago, but now he has reached level 12.
The cultivation progress bar has gone halfway, and it is only a few tens of percent away from upgrading to level 13.
The first 6 levels took so much time even though someone gave me spiritual essence and earth essence, so how come the next 6 and 7 levels were reached so quickly? Is there a bug in the system?
If you ask Bu Xingjin this question, he will tell you firmly that it is not a bug in the system, but that he is just lucky and extremely lucky.
He immigrated from Africa to Europe all of a sudden. From now on, please call him a respected European.
The upgrade rewards from level 5 to level 6 are very luxurious, but compared to the rewards from level 6 to level 7, they are like garbage.
The first and second options of the upgrade reward have appeared before, leaving aside for now, when Bu Xingjin saw the third option, he only felt that it was flashing with orange light, which was completely different from the other gray and green garbage.
Bu Xingjin couldn't wait to choose the third one.
3. Quarterly time acceleration card.
After the reward is selected, the quarterly time acceleration card turns into a thin strip and comes to the top of the panel.
Within a quarter, you can freely choose how many days to accelerate.
Bu Xingjin moved the white box on the bar and chose to speed up for one day.
He immediately gained 298 cultivation points, which was a bit low. I don’t know how the system judged it. It probably didn’t take into account the bonus brought by the top-level spiritual soil.
But it is also true that if this is taken into account, then the top-level spiritual soil bonus will be enjoyed twice.
Once in reality and once in accelerated mode, it's really too incredible.
It's also good without the bonus of top-level spiritual soil. It takes 7,000 cultivation points to reach level 8. Bu Xingjin silently calculated it in his heart, and it will be full after accelerating for another 23 days.
Choose 23 days acceleration.
The moment the reward takes effect, the cultivation progress bar is immediately full, and even overflows a little bit, which is a pity.
Bu Xingjin chooses to upgrade.
7→8.
This time he didn't try to understand the basic information first, but instead looked directly at the upgrade rewards.
Not good nor bad.
1. Experience gain speed increased tenfold;
2. One set of common cultivation exercises;
3. One random reward will be given.
With the Seasonal Time Accelerator card, he definitely wouldn't choose the first one, as it was a waste of time. He also gave up on the second ordinary cultivation method. The previous one was obvious, as ordinary cultivation methods were too ordinary. Practicing this one was just a way to kill time.
To sum up, Bu Xingjin chose a random reward that had appeared several times but he had never chosen.
Congratulations on getting a backpack.
On the system panel, an image resembling a small package appeared just below the avatar.
To be honest, Bu Xingjin thought about many possible rewards, but he really didn't expect that the random reward would be a backpack.
Shouldn't this thing be given to him from the beginning?
I opened my backpack, and it was empty. Just twenty small boxes, neatly arranged like in a game.
Bu Xingjin couldn't wait to try it out and put the small stones, dead branches and leaves around him into his backpack.
Only one thing can be placed in one grid, and no living things can be placed in it, nor can the same things be stacked together like in the game.
There seemed to be no limit to the size of the objects. Bu Xingjin succeeded when he tried to put the tree trunk that was previously pressing on him in. He was not sure if it would be possible to put larger objects in, as there was nothing bigger than a tree trunk nearby. Bu Xingjin had to leave this question for another try.
After testing the backpack, it was almost noon. Bu Xingjin had leveled up twice in a short period of time and had no time to communicate with Xiaoshu.
The little tree was quiet and didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all, nor did it take the initiative to communicate with him.
Bu Xingjin simply sent a message saying "Good afternoon" and turned around to click on the panel.
Speed up the day.
The cultivation level immediately increased by 328.
Upgrading to level 9 requires 8,000 cultivation points.
Bu Xingjin chose to speed up again by 23 days, and his cultivation level increased by 7544, which was just a little bit away from upgrading.
The quarterly time acceleration card can accelerate the time by up to 120 days. Bu Xingjin has already used it for 48 days. In order not to waste the time of the quarterly time acceleration card, he decided to wait.
After more than an hour and almost two hours, the cultivation progress bar was full.
Bu Xingjin immediately clicked to upgrade.
8→9.
First, look at the upgrade rewards.
1. Intermediate full body tempering once;
2. Ten-day humanoid experience card;
3. One random reward will be given.
Before he could see what the third option was, Bu Xingjin reacted and had already put a small card with a emerald green light into his backpack.
He chose reward two, a ten-day humanoid experience card.
Continue.
Speed up the day.
The cultivation level immediately increased by 368.
Upgrading to level 10 requires 9,000 cultivation points.
Bu Xingjin chose to accelerate for 23 days again, but failed.
The number 23 days is gray and cannot be selected.
why is that?
Bu Xingjin looked back and saw that all the numbers behind were gray. Looking forward, only 1 to 12 days were available for selection.
Unable to figure out the reason, Bu Xingjin tentatively chose the largest 12 days.
After 12 days of acceleration, the cultivation level increased by 4416.
Logically, the Quarterly Time Accelerator Card should have sixty days left to use, but at this moment, all the day options had turned gray and could not be selected.
Bu Xingjin studied it for a long time, reading the system panel inch by inch, before he found a few lines of tiny text in a small corner at the top: Cooling down, try again after 60 hours.
Fuck!
There is something I don’t know whether I should say or not?
What the hell is cooling?
And it is 60 hours, not 60 hours. 60 hours is less than three days, while 60 hours takes five days.
No matter how furious Bu Xingjin was, the system panel did not respond at all.
After venting his emotions, Bu Xingjin could only convince himself to accept it. What else could he do?
Unable to continue upgrading, I had to go back and focus on the basic information that was ignored.
The cultivation progress bar has become 4785/9000, the experience conversion rate is now 5000 experience points for 1 cultivation point, and the experience bonus in sunlight is +20.
There are about 10 hours a day when you can bask in the sun, which can increase your cultivation by 288 points. There are 14 hours at night, which can increase your cultivation by 201.6 points. In total, you can increase your cultivation by about 490 points a day.
In five days, the cultivation level will be around 2500.
In the evening, the sky is full of colorful clouds.
Sixty hours had passed since the day of the continuous upgrade. Bu Xing watched the cooldown countdown for the Seasonal Time Accelerator Card reach zero.
At this moment, his cultivation progress bar is 7285/9000, and he is still 1715 points away from upgrading.
Bu Xingjin first chose to speed up for four days.
The cultivation progress bar immediately changed to 8757/9000.
There was still a little over 200 cultivation points left, so Bu Xingjin hesitated for a moment and decided to use one day to speed up the time.
Speed up the day.
9000/9000.
Bu Xingjin clicks to upgrade.
9→10.
At the moment of the upgrade, a few dark clouds suddenly floated in the sky.
Almost at the same time, a purple lightning bolt like a sharp sword came down from the sky and headed straight for Bu Xingjin.
The first person to notice something was wrong was Qing Yan, who was closest to Bu Xingjin.
At first he thought that this natural calamity was directed at him. During this period of time, he absorbed the immortal spirit that occasionally appeared around the strange grass beside him, and his injuries recovered a little.
He came down accidentally from the upper realm and did not belong to the wilderness. If his aura was leaked, he would be targeted by heaven and earth and be struck by thunder.
When the lightning struck, Qing Yan realized that it was the strange little grass that brought about the heavenly calamity.
He had no idea why the grass had brought about the heavenly calamity.
Bu Xingjin was innocent and wronged. It was not until he was struck by lightning that he realized that he would advance by leveling up to 10.
Having undergone an intermediate-level full-body tempering, he easily survived this small thunder tribulation.
Aside from seeing stars and feeling stiff and paralyzed for quite a while, the branches and leaves were hardly damaged.
The dark clouds came and went quickly, disappearing immediately after a flash of lightning.
It was not until the sky was completely dark that Bu Xingjin recovered from being struck by lightning.
He looked at Xiaoshu Qingyan, but didn't receive any questions from him. It seemed that no matter what happened to him, Xiaoshu was not interested or surprised.
It’s better not to ask, so that he won’t have to find excuses to explain why he was struck by lightning.
After reaching level 10, the fifth row of quality next to the avatar, which had never changed, changed from inferior quality to second-rate quality.
