Chapter 255: Accumulation and Precipitation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Zhang Chengcheng and the others left, the area around Lu Ming became much quieter.
Of course, this was not a big deal or a bad thing for Lu Ming. The fewer people around him, the more comfortable Lu Ming felt.
But occasionally, he would think of Zhang Chengcheng’s voice and appearance.
As for trivial matters like cooking, they were naturally taken care of by Roda, given that he was the City Lord of a city and had many servants.
Oh, right.
And there was Roxin…
This girl came to look for Lu Ming early in the morning, trying to indirectly inquire about Zhang Chengcheng’s situation.
Who knew if she had figured something out…
In short, Roxin had added a touch of color to Lu Ming’s simple life.
However, Lu Ming’s priority now was cultivation.
There was nothing more important than cultivation.
The 240th day of the Black Mist Calendar.
Inside the Void Space.
As Lu Ming slowly finished his cultivation, heat flowed back and forth within Lu Ming’s strong body.
In the outside world, a fist-sized Flamestone gradually lost its luster, becoming dull gray.
“Phew.”
Lu Ming exhaled a breath of air, a hint of joy flashing between his eyebrows.
“My Body Forging Technique has leveled up!”
With the twenty-four-fold increase in cultivation speed in the Void Space, Lu Ming managed to raise his Flame Body Forging Technique to the next level in just a few days!
Opening the attribute panel, Lu Ming’s greatly increased attributes came into view.
Name: Lu Ming
Level: Physique Realm, Level 5.
Strength: 84300
Physique: 84300
Agility: 84300
Free Attribute Points: 52300
Divine Source Points: 44
[Flame Body Forging Technique (Mastery) (0/100,000): Physique Realm Body Forging Technique. This secret technique requires the assistance of Flamestones during cultivation. Only when the power of flame enters the body can one temper the physique!]]
You have mastered the cultivation of the Flame Body Forging Technique. In the Mastery stage, each cycle will increase your three-dimensional attributes by 10 points and grant you 10 free attribute points. It also consumes one unit of Flamestone.
In the Mastery stage of the Flame Body Forging Technique, each cycle can provide Lu Ming with 10 points in all attributes.
This meant that Lu Ming’s efficiency in farming attributes had increased again!
After leaving the Void Space, he ate, washed up, and used the restroom.
At the same time, he informed his servants to continue purchasing the Flamestones.
The servants also reported to Lu Ming what had happened in Archean City during this period of time.
In summary, nothing major had occurred.
With Roda, Uncle Lu, and Quan Chao, these three Spirit Realm experts holding down the fort, Archean City was stable. As for the rumors of war that He Qing had mentioned, there was still no sign of it.
“So, I should have some decent time for development.”
Muttering to himself, Lu Ming returned to the Void Space to continue his cultivation.
The 243rd day of the Black Mist Calendar.
Standing inside the Void Space, Lu Ming’s entire body was flickering with alternating red and blue light.
At some point, the two-colored light gradually dimmed and slowly shrank and entered into Lu Ming’s body.
“It’s done…”
Opening his eyes, Lu Ming let out a long breath.
The so-called success was referring to the Divine Fire Shield, a Physique Realm’s Body Protection Technique that had been cultivated to the highest level.
In other words, the Divine Power Realm!
Divine Fire Shield (Divine): Physique Realm Protective Technique. Its defense is slightly weak, but it can counter-injure the enemy.
You have already cultivated the Divine Fire Shield to a near-perfect level, close to the Dao!
“You have grasped the Divine Fire Shield of the Divine Power Realm. All your attributes+1,000, and your free attribute points+i,ooo!”
[Additional Special Effect: Defense Enhancement: Largely increases the defense of the Divine Fire Shield!]
The Perfect-Micro-Level Realm Divine Fire Shield provided Lu Ming with 150 attribute points.
The Micro-Level Realm Divine Fire Shield provided Lu Ming with 800 points of all attributes.
Coupled with the previous 50 points in all attributes, this meant that Lu Ming could obtain a total of 1,000 points in all attributes and 1,000 free attribute points from cultivating a Physique Realm Source Power Skill to perfection.
Of course, attributes were not the most important thing.
The key was on the additional effect of the Divine Power Realm Source Power Skill!
[You can obtain the following feedback from the Divine Fire Shield of the Divine Power Realm.
Your cultivation speed for the next level of the same type of Source Power Skill (Physique Realm Body Protection Technique) will increase by tenfold!
Note: This special effect is not tiring.
The Divine Fire Barrier of the Divine Power Realm has already become your divine power, your instinct! The Divine Power Realm’s Divine Fire Barrier will permanently provide an eternal effect of burning with flame energy for your body protection technique!”
This was what Lu Ming really wanted!
“Increase in cultivation speed, and the special effect of burning with flames…”
This also meant that when Lu Ming cultivated the next Body Fortification technique, he would obtain the dual effects of [Increased Defense] and [Flame Force Burning]!
Lu Ming had already experienced the benefits of Defense Enhancement. Based on this, he deduced that the effect of the Flame Force Burning would not be any less powerful.
As I cultivate more Divine Realm Source Power skills, my Source Power skills will become more and more powerful!”
Each Divine Realm Source Power skill came with an additional special effect.
Sooner or later, Lu Ming’s Source Power skills would eventually come with endless special effects, and these special effects alone would be enough to crush most enemies.
So, even though the efficiency of these offensive Source Power Skills is far inferior to the Body Forging technique, they still have a certain cultivation value.”
Strength could be divided into power and skills.
Power was the attributes.
Skills were techniques.
Li De and Flame Heart had already proven to Lu Ming that under the same physical conditions, having strength without skill would only make one a punching bag.
Of course, Lu Ming could choose to pursue pure strength and completely disregard skill – as someone with a system, he had the ability to do so.
“However, it’s still better to have both hands strong.”
“Without weaknesses, it’s easier to deal with any situation, any circumstance.”
Muttering to himself, Lu Ming left the Void Space and returned to the outside world.
Standing up from the mat, Lu Ming approached his bed and took out his treasure chest from under the bed.
Opening it, a large number of Source Power Skill sealing balls fell into Lu Ming’s view.
“So, what should I choose for my third body protective technique?”
Lu Ming first chose the Spirit Realm Body protective technique.
After all, the higher the level of the Source Power Skill, the stronger the combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Lu Ming had already raised the Divine Fire Shield to the Divine Power Realm, and with the cultivation speed boost, the rate at which he could cultivate Spirit Realm protective techniques would not be slow.
However, as he searched through the options, Lu Ming gradually furrowed his brows.
“That’s not good…”
He suddenly noticed a problem that he had overlooked before.
“Spirit Realm Source Power skills are not just protective techniques, but almost all types of Spirit Realm Source Power skills require the use of Spirit Pressure to unleash their full power.”
“And I don’t have Spiritual Pressure.”
That did not mean Lu Ming could not cultivate and use high-level Source Power skills; it just meant the effects would be significantly weaker.
They might be slightly better than Physique Realm Source Power skills, but their superiority was likely limited.
For most people, pursuing higher-level Source Power skills would be the logical choice – after all, stronger was better.
But Lu Ming did not think that way…
“For me, there’s another issue.”
“The efficiency of attribute acquisition.”
“When I cultivated Physique Realm Source Power skills in the Mortal Realm, I gained significantly fewer attributes compared to cultivating Physique Realm Source Power skills in the Physique Realm.”
Because when Lu Ming advanced to the Physique Realm, the system had undergone a comprehensive update.
He reckoned that when he advanced to the Spirit Realm, the system would update once again.
“So, for me, it’s more worth it to continue cultivating Physique Realm Source Power Skills.”
After thinking for a long time, Lu Ming decisively nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.
“Physique Realm Source Power Skills it is. It doesn’t matter anyway. As long as I can gain attributes and add special effects, I can’t go wrong.”
Grasping a Source Power skill sealing ball, Lu Ming’s consciousness quickly sank into the inner space of the sealing ball..
