Shadow Hack

Chapter 474 Bitter Cultivation

From the fifth day onwards, the elder of the Origin God Sect had requested that Li Yunmu go into seclusion. This request was compulsory in nature. His aim definitely had something to do with the exact geographical position of where they were going.

Clearly, the sect protected its location with extreme strictness. To do a test, Li Yunmu had once commanded the system to secretly scan the direction and movement of the skyocean ship.

However, the system quickly informed him that its scan and monitoring had been blocked by a layer of restrictions. In other words, the system couldn’t scan anything from within the skyocean ship.

The entire ship was like a shielded prison. Nothing outside could be sensed from the inside.

Li Yunmu was unwilling to give up and secretly sent out one shadow. However, when it was prepared to sneak out of the room, it informed him that they could sense a formless perception energy surrounding the room.

As long as any living organism, regardless of its shape or form, passed through the formless layer of perception energy, the Origin God Sect’s elder would definitely be alerted.

With this, Li Yunmu finally accepted his defeat. At this instant, he once more realized the prowess of a second tier sect, not to mention this Origin God Sect which was even more mysterious than any normal sect.

It couldn’t be denied that given the stealthy nature and ability to conceal themselves, his shadows could pass through most people. Even sage layer flux experts’ formidable perception would find it extremely difficult to sense their existence.

However, someone from the second tier sect had set up a formation that could detect them. Li Yunmu racked his brains, but he still couldn’t think of any method to discover the geographical location of the Origin God Sect.

After he was forced to admit that, he obediently stayed in his part of the ship and calmed his heart before beginning to cultivate again.

He had obtained thirty thousand contribution points from the inner sect competition in Profound South Sect, but this wealth had already disappeared.

Li Yunmu had used the entire sum to purchase flux binding pills. With such a large batch, he could finally cultivate the remaining seventeen flux points.

"Eighth guardian heavenly point located at the lower left of the navel is one of the major flux points."

After calming down his mind, Li Yunmu quickly found himself absorbed in cultivation. All the remaining flux points were in his chest, and the eight guardian points were formed of eight points.

They were like a satellite to the star which revolved around the major point in the chest sea. At that moment, Li Yunmu was cultivating one of the eight guardian points.

Worth noting was the fact that the chest sea major point he was working on was near one of the three flux points which the third tier powers lacked.

That is to say, even if Li Yunmu perfectly opened all the eight guardian points in the chest, he would lack the major point that served as the core.

If that wasn’t enough, once he learned more about it, he found out that even without one of the three final major points, a person would never be able to step into the deity realm.

The people who stood at the peak of the Origin World were surprisingly so insidious that they controlled the three major points and had set up a threshold.

But this wasn’t important. Although Li Yunmu hadn’t obtained the method to cultivate the three points, in his current situation, it was more important to cultivate the remaining new flux points.

He took out a flux binding pill from the pile placed on the bed and clasped it in his hand. The next moment, he began to open the flux point.

First pill, second pill, third pill... After consuming three flux binding pills, Li Yunmu had fully opened the flux point. After consuming five more, he filled it to the brim.

Once he finished with that, he slowly opened his eyes and felt an ache in his heart. He hadn’t expected that the amount of flux binding pills he would require now would far surpass the amount he’d required to open the flux points in his arms and legs.

The additional consumption shocked him. It was no wonder that the flux experts of the Origin World needed several decades just to break through to great flux expert realm without the support of financial means.

Most of the time, they just absorbed the flux energy in the air and accumulated it for a long time before attacking the flux point. This method of relying on accumulated flux points required quite a lot of time.

The other route was a shortcut which Li Yunmu had been walking from the start. It would require only five-eight years to break through to the next realm, but anyone following it would need a large amount of contribution points which could be earned by completing missions of the sect or hunting various beasts and selling them.

One could also gather heavenly treasures in the wilderness or engage in other professions. In the end, money makes everything easier—this sentence was as fitting here as anywhere else.

Li Yunmu had heard on Blue Moon Island that a large clan of a region could only provide a direct descendent with resources for their cultivation.

With an enormous territory on which more than a hundred thousand people resided, they could barely support two or three people cultivating to great flux expert realm.

Previously, he hadn’t believed this, but now he was convinced of the truth. The price of a flux binding pill was an astronomical one for ordinary people.

One flux binding pill cost three hundred contribution points. When converted to life points, it was thirty thousand. If they were once more converted to the silver sand coins used by ordinary people, the number would be three million.

The living cost of a family of five in the Origin World was around one thousand silver sand coins per month. In other words, one flux binding pill’s price was enough to support a family of five for two hundred and fifty years, or roughly three generations.

It was outrageous!

Yes, it was outrageous to the extent that of the countless people of the Origin World, there were few cultivators from the lowest two classes.

It was no wonder then that every disciple occupying one of the first ten rooms in Blue Moon Sect wished to purchase an official position with contribution points. After all, if they could become a hall master of an island, they would obtain one third of the revenue from that island.

Clearly, it was just another method of the sect for the powerful disciples to earn contribution points.
