Chapter 101 The System Updates Again
Chapter 104 System Updated Again (Third Update, Seeking First Subscription)
As the familiar system interface opened, the three pieces of intelligence for the day were presented to Zhang Lingyu.
[Level 3 Intelligence: Today, a fourth-tier spiritual artifact, the Jade Crane Fruit, ripened in the core area of the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range. It is located on Netherworld Mountain, the residence of the Netherworld Demon Emperor. If you encounter it, proceed with caution.]
[Level 3 Intelligence: The site of the passing of the True Immortal Chixiao on Red Wing Island in Linhai County, Zhao State, has been discovered by rogue cultivators. The outer barrier of the cave has been broken, and Golden Core level puppets still guard the interior. Seven Foundation Establishment cultivators have already perished. If you encounter this place, please proceed with caution.]
[Level 3 Intelligence: Today, the Blood Fiend Sect of Chu and the Jade Purity Temple clashed at the Burial Dragon Abyss over the Dragon Blood Bodhi. Ten Foundation Establishment cultivators have already perished. If you encounter them, please proceed with caution.]
Now that Zhang Lingyu has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the daily intelligence reports have all been changed to level three intelligence.
Moreover, the scope of the intelligence was quite extensive, directly encompassing various intelligence contents from several countries surrounding Zhao.
This was the best news he could have received.
As one's cultivation level continues to improve, the resources required also increase. Things are still relatively easy now, but once one reaches the Golden Core stage, they become increasingly difficult to find.
The six sects tightly control all the rare and precious materials in Zhao. If Zhang Lingyu wants to obtain them in the future, he either has to keep searching for them himself or join the six sects and serve them.
But with an intelligence system, there's no need for that.
After reading today's updated information, he understood the content of this system update.
Zhang Lingyu can spend 100 intelligence points to buy intelligence once, and there is no limit to the number of times he can do this. As long as he has intelligence points, he can get the intelligence he wants.
However, you can only obtain one intelligence point per day, and you can only use it three times a year.
If someone wants to obtain a Golden Core spiritual item, the intelligence system will display three pieces of information containing such items.
This feature is much better than daily updates.
After all, the former is based on chance, while the latter can accurately provide you with the information you want.
"Let's not delay, let's try it now!"
Full of anticipation, Zhang Lingyu entered a channel for obtaining fire-attribute golden core spirit items within the Zhao Kingdom.
The content on the screen changed rapidly, and within a few breaths, information about the spirit creature was generated.
[Within the Fire Fiend Abyss of Zhao Kingdom grows a Fiery Cloud Glow Grass, shaped like a three-leaf clover with flame patterns. At noon, it emits a burst of radiant light. It matures in three years and is guarded by a Golden Core level demon king. If you encounter it, please proceed with caution.]
Five years from now, the Blazing Crimson Lotus will appear at a trade fair in Tianque Pavilion, Linhai County, Zhao State. It can be exchanged for a metal-attribute Golden Core spiritual item.
[In the spiritual herb garden of the Tianxia Sect in Zhao Kingdom, there is a Fire Phoenix Immortal Bud that will mature in a year. If you go there, please be careful.]
"As expected..."
Zhang Lingyu looked at the contents and felt quite helpless.
These three conditions are quite difficult. The first one requires facing a Golden Core Demon King head-on, and the third one is within someone else's sect. You can't just go there and rob them, can you?
The second option is the most promising, but the Zhang family doesn't have any metal-attribute Golden Core spiritual items, so they have no way to start. The only valuable things they have are that fourth-order spiritual tree and the longevity pill that they have finished refining.
But neither of these things can be allowed to leave the Zhang family; if they do, the entire clan will be wiped out!
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Lingyu decided to enter another search term, "[Channels for obtaining Golden Core spiritual items in Yingchuan County]", to see what he could gain.
This time, the intelligence system finally did not disappoint him.
There is indeed one that the Zhang family can obtain now.
Moreover, this place was not unfamiliar to him.
This is the very place where we obtained the Soul Gathering Flower.
"Xiaohe Village? That person really guessed right."
Zhang Lingyu had not forgotten the scene at that time, nor the final letter from the evil cultivator who had perished there. The other party deduced that there must be something extraordinary beneath the cave.
[Underground in Xiaohe Village, Zhangjia Town, Yingchuan County, Zhao State, grows a fifth-tier spiritual herb, the Night Orchid Illusion Grass, guarded by three Foundation Establishment level ghosts. If you encounter it, please be careful.]
Thinking about it now, how could a Soul-Gathering Flower be born in a place with few corpses?
Zhang Lingyu originally intended to wait until he was strong enough before going to investigate.
I never expected to have such a big gain.
"In this way, the Grand Elder will have the opportunity to inquire about the Golden Core."
Zhang Lingyu's face lit up with joy, and he decided to consolidate his cultivation before going to Xiaohe Village to take a look.
Of course, he wasn't stupid. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage defeat three Foundation Establishment ghosts? As long as he said he had made a discovery there, the Zhang family would definitely come out in full force.
At that time, the Night Orchid Illusion Grass will naturally fall into the hands of the family.
After the decision was made, Zhang Lingyu stepped out of the cave.
As soon as they stepped out of the cave, a figure suddenly appeared outside. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhang Xingyao.
The Zhang family patriarch was overjoyed, his voice trembling with excitement: "Excellent! Excellent! You succeeded on the first try! Little Nineteen, you're truly outstanding!"
"Lingyu greets the clan leader."
Zhang Lingyu was not surprised at all. Every cultivator in the family had a Foundation Establishment cultivator to watch over them during the Foundation Establishment process, in order to prevent any accidents from happening and to provide assistance.
Since Zhang Yuanhua was in seclusion refining elixirs, Zhang Yuanlin was naturally taken care of by Zhang Xingyao in handling clan affairs.
During the breakthrough, the clan leader was also uneasy. He had been through it himself and knew how difficult it was to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
He almost collapsed during the Soul Tempering process back then.
During his time watching over the boy, he didn't sense any disturbances in the spiritual energy within the cave, which put his mind at ease. Now, seeing the boy emerge, he finally felt truly relieved.
"The addition of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to our Zhang family is a great joy for the clan. Let's go and pay our respects to the Grand Elder first."
No wonder Zhang Xingyao was happy. Since the Zhang family was established, there had never been four Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time.
This time, we must hold a grand foundation-building celebration.
The two then headed towards Zhang Yuanhua's cave.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Lingyu saw the Cloud Dream Glazed Tree. Since the Zhang family's spiritual vein was only at the second level, the spiritual tree could only survive. To bear spiritual fruit, the spiritual vein level needed to be further improved.
Zhang Xingyao also understood the current predicament and said with a wry smile, "With the current financial resources of my Zhang family, although we can upgrade the spiritual vein level, it will also cost a great deal."
"This matter still needs to be put on the agenda."
Zhang Lingyu pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, my family could support three Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now that there's me and the Yunmeng Glazed Tree, we probably can't afford it anymore."
"If the Grand Elder can truly advance to the Golden Core stage, this matter will become even more urgent."
Upgrading a spiritual vein requires building it with spirit stones, but advancing to the third tier would require at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is far too high a price to pay.
Another method is to extract other spiritual veins to nourish it.
The Zhang family currently has one second-tier spiritual vein located underground in Qingya Mountain, as well as five first-tier spiritual veins.
However, five first-tier spiritual veins are far from enough to meet the requirements for advancement; at least twenty or more are needed.
Such a move would require seizing the spiritual veins of other prominent families within the prefecture. However, digging up someone's spiritual veins would be tantamount to cutting off their path to survival, which would put the Zhang family at odds with the entire Yingchuan Prefecture.
