Chapter 355

: Majorly Scammed
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng entered a command and one million experience points were deducted from him in the blink of an eye. Following that, the System began its upgrade!
The Grade 3 Fusang Wood Fishing Rod shot back into his body to be remodeled with the System’s rise in grade.
The thin Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in the surroundings was quickly sucked towards Bei Feng and absorbed by the System!
The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi within a hundred li was all drained cleanly. Then, as if the System was not satisfied, the radius of its absorption grew abruptly, extending to cover an area of a thousand li!
Large amounts of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi were drawn in as though it was liquid and absorbed by the System!
Bei Feng closed his eyes and felt the large amounts of Ling Qi flowing through his body before disappearing abruptly. This time, there actually wasn’t even a tiny bit left behind for him!
The abnormal surge of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi was like a cloud of mist, shrouding the entire mountain!
The plants on the mountain began to grow with crazy speed, visible to the naked eye!
This phenomenon continued for half a day before disappearing gradually.
Apart from Bei Feng, Mystic Three and Mystic One were the ones who gained the greatest benefits from this phenomenon. Mystic One was originally already in the midst of her secluded cultivation, planning to make her breakthrough. All of a sudden, she felt the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi around her thicken by a ridiculous extent!
She had been prepared to undergo secluded cultivation for a long period of time. But unexpectedly, she managed to break through to the Xiantian realm in just an instant!
Mystic Three’s aura also grew continuously, only stopping at half-step Xiantian. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to assail the Xiantian realm in one shot. But regardless of whether it was his body or mental power, both were at their limits from absorbing too much Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in a single shot. If he continued and tried to make the breakthrough, his body would only end up exploding from cultivation deviation!
The Cerberus also made use of this opportunity to reach the peak of Xiatian primary stage! With the correct conditions, it could break through to the middle stage Xiantian realm at any time!
Bei Feng scrutinized the changes made to the System. Overall, it had not changed much.
The Fisherman Grade had been raised from Grade 3 to Grade 4. But not only had the number of days in between each fishing attempt not shrunk, it had been lengthened instead! Right now, he was only allowed to make one fishing attempt once a month!
The fishing rod had changed greatly in terms of appearance. It looked incredibly dazzling, like a shortened staff completely made of gold. Its name had also been changed to Golden Ebony Fishing Rod!
The amount of vision he was granted in the Myriad Worlds had grown to a range of 200 meters around the hook. This was definitely a useful utility upgrade which would allow Bei Feng to have a much easier time fishing!
Apart from that, there was also a reward. Bei Feng nearly choked on his saliva with shock at this. This scam-like system actually knew how to give out rewards?

Ding! The System can help Host to refine an eighth level Heavenly Demonic Corpse. Refinement time will be 100 years, and the cost will be a mere 20 million experience points!

Bei Feng read the System message carefully and scratched his chin with some uncertainty.

System, this deal feels quite sketchy… the refinement cost seems a little too hefty?

Bei Feng hesitated. 20 million experience points was enough to let him raise his Fisherman grade to Grade 5!

With Host’s cultivation talent, it should be possible for you to reach the eight level of cultivation in another 10,000 years. Work hard! This System thinks highly of you!

The emotionless voice of the System seemed to have changed a little. It sounded somewhat dry and sarcastic this time, containing a hint of anger within its tone. It seemed to have gained a higher level of intelligence as well.

Pu!

Bei Feng directly spat out the tea in his mouth as he listened to the sarcastic tone in the System’s voice.

10,000 years?! How could it be so long!

Bei Feng sputtered with disbelief. Who would have thought that it would take so much time to reach this
eighth level cultivation
!

10,000 years is just an average estimate. In other words, it’s entirely possible to attain that realm before 10,000 years. Still, there’s also a possibility that it could take 20,000 years or more,
the System continued.

Refine it then!

Bei Feng gritted his teeth and spat. This was too much of a scam! The reason he was hesitant about refining the Heavenly Demonic Corpse was because he felt that 100 years was too long. Who knows, he might have surpassed that eighth level realm long ago before then and the corpse would be useless to him. But after hearing the System’s words, his pride instantly deflated like a balloon.

Ding, preparing to initialize corpse refinement!

Bei Feng could feel the spatial ring of the unlucky bastard open by itself as all kind of treasures flew out automatically and sunk into the corpse.

Eh? Ehh?! Why are you using my materials!

Bei Feng felt his throat turning more and more parched as he looked at the treasures flying out of the ring. That stuff was the fortune he’d accumulated with much hard work while risking his life!

Ding! This System does not provide the materials.

The System’s replies were extremely simple and straightforward.
But since his experience points had already been deducted, Bei Feng could only wrinkle his nose and accept the situation!
As he looked at the large amounts of spirit materials and treasures sinking into the corpse, Bei Feng felt as though someone was cutting off his flesh with a knife!
But as time passed, he slowly began to grow numb. Apart from some manuals and spirit stones, there wasn’t much stuff left in the spatial ring anymore.
Bei Feng wanted to cry aloud, but found that he had no tears. There had been too many spirit weapons of a higher grade than Soaring Rainbow in the ring. However, everything was gone before he could even raise an objection!
But what caused him to really spit out a mouthful of blood was when the numerous manuals were also drawn into the corpse!

Are you serious? Why would those manuals and books be needed to refine the corpse?!

Bei Feng’s expression turned exceedingly ugly to behold. This was definitely a scam! A huge scam!
The Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Art and the Heavenly Corpse Manual were also included among those manuals!

The quality of the items produced by the System are definitely the best. This System also does not recommend for Host to practice the corpse refinement body techniques. After practicing the Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Body, one will lose all emotions, including towards one’s family and loved ones!

The refined corpse will have unlimited potential, and any valuable stuff can can continue to be added into the corpse in the future.

After being upgraded to Grade 4, the System seemed to have gained intelligence as it explained to Bei Feng casually.
Bei Feng opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, finally sucking in a breath of cold air. Although he felt extremely unconvinced tight now, he felt much better when he thought of how he’d gain a peak eighth level Heavenly Demonic Corpse bodyguard 100 years from now.

A third of Host’s mental power and half of Host’s marrow and essence blood are required to tame the Heavenly Demonic Corpse. Extract?


Go ahead.

Bei Feng nodded mutely. He’d already invested far too much to turn back now.
All of a sudden, Bei Feng felt a third of his mental power ripped away from him, and half of the essence blood in his bone marrow was drawn out!
The agony of having his mental power ripped apart caused him to scream loudly with agony. His entire face became as white as a sheet of paper in an instant!
This kind of pain which came from his soul was so unbearable that Bei Feng felt like his head was exploding. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were all drenched with sweat.
Shortly after, two balls of light appeared within Bei Feng’s body. One was red, with traces of gold within it. The other was pure and transparent, rippling gently.
Bei Feng took out a bottle of Tri-Clear Pills from the spatial ring and directly swallowed the whole bottle of pills. Only then did he feel somewhat better as he laid on the ground, gasping for breath in a wretched manner.
Half of his most valued essence blood had been drawn out, directly causing his cultivation to drop from Xiantian middle stage to Xiantian primary stage!

It seems like the more I cultivate, the more my cultivation level regresses!

Bei Feng looked at the sky with disbelief, his face constipated with pain.

Host need not worry. This System is a professional and knows exactly how far to go and when to stop. Host’s foundations were not hurt at all, and you would only require a period of time to recuperate,
the System spoke up at this time, giving Bei Feng yet another blow.
Bei Feng did not have the mind to chat idly with the System at this point. He took out a spirit stone and began to circulate the Ling Qi through his body. He felt like his cultivation might drop further at this rate if he did not start circulating his Qi!
