BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52: Energy Value has shrunk significantly
[Without hesitation, you immediately went to the location of Lu Wuya\'s formation.]
[In fact, even if Old Li hadn\'t sought you out, you were planning to come and take a look.]
[After all, you know that in the 43rd year, Old Li and the others will venture into the Desert of Death, so the formation must have shown problems this year.]
[This time, you noticed more formation symbols.]
[You continuously observed the formation\'s operational routes, trying to understand its logic.]
[Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and you were already drenched in sweat.]
[Although you are a seventh-grade Formation Master, the grade of this formation is extremely high. Each observation and calculation consumes a lot of your mental energy.]
[But after three days of calculations, you finally deciphered the operational logic of one set of formation runes.][However, this left you somewhat puzzled.]
[You couldn\'t understand why a formation that could resist Heavenly Thunder had runes that seemed to guide rather than defend.]
["Guide, guide!" you muttered to yourself repeatedly.]
[Suddenly, a thought struck you.]
[Could it be that this formation doesn\'t eliminate Heavenly Thunder but redirects it elsewhere?]
[Then where could the Heavenly Thunder accumulated over millions of years be redirected?]
[Looking at the formation before you, you exclaimed, "This is bad!"]
[The formation is here, so the redirected Heavenly Thunder must be somewhere on Spine Mountain.]
[But just then, you heard the sound of the formation cracking.]
["Zzz," arcs of electricity began to appear on the formation\'s lines. Seeing this, you turned to flee.]
["Boom!" The formation exploded. Being at its center, you had no time to escape and were engulfed in a sea of lightning.]
[You struggled desperately, but it was in vain.]
[You died at the age of 60!]
[This simulation has ended.]
[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Longevity of the Southern Mountain (Talent), Cultivation Level (Core Formation Stage 2), Formation Dao Jade Slip, Seventh-Grade Formation Master, Spirit Stones (580,000 pieces)]
[Longevity of the Southern Mountain (Talent)]: Price 100 million Energy Value.
[Cultivation Level (Core Formation Stage 2)]: Price 200 million Energy Value.
[Formation Dao Jade Slip]: Price 1 billion Energy Value.
[Seventh-Grade Formation Master]: Price 10 billion Energy Value.
[Spirit Stones (580,000 pieces)]: Price 5.8 billion Energy Value.
This simulation was quite a rollercoaster for Jiang Yifeng.
Initially, he thought he would die while venturing into the Endless Sea with Bai Ruoxue.
But it turned out the Mystic Turtle guarding the Endless Sea was an ally.
Then he thought he might die under the Heavenly Thunder in the fifty-third year, as he had been hiding on Spine Mountain.
Or perhaps he would repair Lu Wuya\'s formation and live for a thousand years, dying a natural death.
Who knew the outcome would be entirely unexpected?
In the end, he died under the collapse of Lu Wuya\'s formation.
It just goes to show that man proposes, but heaven disposes.
Jiang Yifeng didn\'t dwell on it further and looked at the rewards from this simulation.
The Seventh-Grade Formation Master was a must-have.
This was equivalent to the Body Integration stage of cultivation.
Whether for self-preservation or other purposes, it was immensely valuable.
The Formation Dao Jade Slip was unnecessary, as he had already obtained its knowledge through deep simulation.
He still felt a bit dizzy from it.
Finally, Jiang Yifeng was torn between Longevity of the Southern Mountain (Talent) and the 580,000 Spirit Stones.
One increased his lifespan by a thousand years. If he could leave the Southern Regions, he could simulate for another thousand years, which would be quite useful.
The other, Spirit Stones, were crucial resources for cultivation. With hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, he could ensure rapid progress at the start of each simulation.
After some thought, Jiang Yifeng made his decision.
"I choose the Seventh-Grade Formation Master and the Spirit Stones."
In the end, Jiang Yifeng opted for the Spirit Stones.
After so many simulations, he felt that he had never truly managed to survive until the end.
The path of cultivation is fraught with dangers; how many can truly die of old age?
He felt that Spirit Stones would be more beneficial, at least ensuring rapid progress at the start of each simulation.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for becoming a Seventh-Grade Formation Master. 10 billion Energy Value has been deducted, leaving 8.8 billion Energy Value...]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 580,000 Spirit Stones. 5.8 billion Energy Value has been deducted, leaving 3 billion Energy Value...]
As the simulator\'s voice faded, Jiang Yifeng instantly felt a flood of understanding about formations and their applications in his mind.
Formation Dao differs from cultivation; it is more about understanding and knowledge.
This enhancement was more about memory.
Fortunately, the simulator\'s infusion was gentle, unlike the headache-inducing deep simulation of the Formation Dao Jade Slip.
At the same time, the simulator\'s voice sounded again.
[Ding, the host\'s storage space is insufficient to hold all the Spirit Stones. The host can choose to spend 1 billion Energy Value to expand it by 100 times.]
"Expand!"
Jiang Yifeng didn\'t hesitate.
Although his Energy Value was running low, he couldn\'t leave the Spirit Stones out in the open.
That would be too conspicuous and not in line with his cautious nature.
[Ding, storage ring expansion successful. Your purchased Spirit Stones have been placed in the storage ring.]
Jiang Yifeng checked his storage ring.
Externally, it looked the same, but the internal space had expanded significantly.
Originally only 50 cubic meters, about the size of a room.
Now it had expanded 100 times to 5000 cubic meters.
In terms of floor area, it was as large as a football field.
Inside the storage ring, a small mountain of Spirit Stones was piled on one side.
Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng couldn\'t help but smile.
But thinking about the tens of billions of Energy Value spent on these Spirit Stones, he felt a bit of heartache.
Looking at the remaining 3 billion Energy Value, Jiang Yifeng pondered whether he should have Jiang Dafu start purchasing gold, silver, and jewels again.
"Forget it, let\'s wait a bit longer!"
Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself.
He remembered that his previous purchases of gold, silver, and jewels had caused a cash flow problem for the Jiang Clan Firm.
And it had only been less than two months since then.
He wasn\'t sure if the Jiang Clan Firm had recovered.
Starting to purchase gold, silver, and jewels now would be too hasty.
Moreover, with over 3 billion Energy Value left, he felt he could still simulate a few more times as long as he didn\'t exchange for a large number of Spirit Stones.
With everything settled, Jiang Yifeng didn\'t immediately go to the Pleasure House to listen to music.
His mind was too cluttered with knowledge.
He felt he needed to rest and digest it all.
