Chapter 157: 160 Trillion Spirit Coins!

Using the one-click enhancement space to strengthen cultivation techniques was an idea Su Xiaobai had early on.

Previously, in the real world, Su Xiaobai had already enhanced a portion of the techniques he brought out from the Virtual Network.

After returning to the Virtual Network, he was startled to see that the “+2” and “+1” enhancement markers had disappeared from his info panel, thinking the real-world enhancements were invalid in the Virtual Network… until he entered the Illusory Tower and used those techniques—only then did he realize the enhancements still worked, they just weren’t displayed on the Virtual Network’s info panel!

After all, the system panel and the Virtual Network panel were different.

The system could clearly identify enhancement levels like +1 or +2.

But how could the Virtual Network recognize ‘enhancements’?

Even the Heavenly Dao of the Vast Domain had no idea that techniques could be enhanced!

“As long as I can enhance all these techniques—or even have a chance to upgrade their tier… then not to mention the 103rd floor, even the 104th, 105th, 106th, 107th… heck, even the topmost 108th floor won’t be a problem for me!”

A cultivation technique that had reached the highest level of the Transcendent tier would already bring immense benefits.

If it could be upgraded twice via one-click enhancement and strengthened to +7, resulting in a full eightfold increase—what kind of concept would that be?

A Transcendent-tier technique upgraded becomes a King-tier technique, and if a King-tier technique gets upgraded again, wouldn’t that make it Emperor-tier?

And what kind of concept is an Emperor-tier technique?

Even Martial Emperors themselves might not fully comprehend them…

If Su Xiaobai could grasp one, wouldn’t sweeping through the 108 floors of the Illusory Tower be a matter of minutes?

Of course, all this was just Su Xiaobai’s idealistic projection.

Upgrading a technique’s tier was far more difficult than upgrading spiritual weapons or divine weapons—

The required materials were things Su Xiaobai hadn’t even heard of!

Therefore, if he could at least enhance a few of these Transcendent-tier techniques and Great Transcendent-tier techniques to +7, with a full eightfold increase, that would already be enough to break through the current limit of the 105th floor of the Illusory Tower and reach the unprecedented 106th floor!

But the hard part was… where would Su Xiaobai find that many materials to enhance techniques?

“Ding! Your friend Dong He Duan has requested a voice chat!”

The prompt from the Virtual Network rang out.

To avoid interruptions, Su Xiaobai had previously muted all notifications—except for friends.

After all, the only friend he had added so far was Dong He Duan.

On impulse, Su Xiaobai chose to accept.

“Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon! You finally picked up my voice chat!”

“Hurry! Say something! Just say you’re Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!”

“I told them I know you, that we’re close friends, but they wouldn’t believe me!”

“Now you can finally prove it for me!”

Dong He Duan’s excited and thrilled voice came from the other end.

“….”

Su Xiaobai shook his head helplessly. “I am Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon. Happy now?”

The moment Su Xiaobai said that, he immediately heard a chorus of gasps and screams through the voice chat…

Then came Dong He Duan’s triumphant and boastful laughter.

“All right, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up…”

“Wait wait wait!”

Dong He Duan quickly said, “It’s so rare to reach you, why hang up so fast?”

“I just saw it—it’s only been a few days, and you’ve already climbed to the 101st floor. That’s truly unbelievable!”

“If we met outside, I’d have to address you as ‘senior’ without question!”

“But as a friend, I must congratulate you—you’ve defeated countless prodigies from the Immortal and Saint clans…”

“You’ve become one of the few peerless geniuses in the entire Vast Domain!”

“If you keep growing at this rate, it won’t be long before you dominate the next hundred eras. When that time comes, you’ll truly be unmatched!”

Dong He Duan’s voice was filled with envy.

A peerless genius, dominating a hundred generations.

Such a once-in-a-million-years prodigy was now right before his eyes… and he actually knew him!

How could he not be envious?

“Since you saw my challenge record, you should know I’m very busy. If there’s nothing urgent, I’m hanging up.”

“Don’t be so quick!”

Dong He Duan shouted, “I actually came to share something good with you!”

“But before I do, I need to apologize first—without your permission, I helped some people send you a bunch of invite messages…”

“But I swear, I did it above board. I split the cultivation points I earned with you fifty-fifty!”

“Even though I know you must have a ton of cultivation points by now, still…”

“Wait!”

Su Xiaobai suddenly shouted, cutting him off.

“You just said… you helped people send me invite messages and earned cultivation points?”

Su Xiaobai’s eyes sparkled.

“I know it wasn’t the right thing to do, but you get 100 cultivation points just for sending one invite… who could resist that temptation?”

Dong He Duan quickly explained.

“No, what I mean is… cultivation points can be traded and sold?”

Su Xiaobai asked.

“Of course!”

“You didn’t know that?”

Dong He Duan said, “Cultivation points are a form of virtual currency gifted to everyone in the Virtual Network, meant for trading within it. Of course they can be freely traded!”

“If cultivation points can be traded… doesn’t that mean as long as you have money, you can buy unlimited techniques from the Virtual Network?”

Su Xiaobai’s eyebrows arched.

“Exactly!”

“That’s what most major families do.”

“Otherwise, do you really think all those so-called ‘genius challengers’ made it step-by-step like you did?”

“Without powerful family backing, they could never achieve what they have!”

Dong He Duan launched into lecture mode, “The fact that cultivation points can be exchanged for techniques alone shows how valuable they are!”

“You probably haven’t taken a close look at the Technique Hall, Cultivation Hall, or Combat Hall, right?”

“If you did, you’d notice that in all three halls—including in the Newborn City—there are tons of buyers looking to purchase cultivation points.”

“They buy them at low prices and resell them at high prices. It’s a whole business!”

“Too bad I don’t have the capital—otherwise, I’d be in it too. It’s seriously profitable!”

Thanks to his explanation, Su Xiaobai finally understood—

So cultivation points could be freely traded!

Now he could also see why so many Transcendent- and Great Transcendent-tier techniques from the Virtual Network had made it to Earth…

Maybe they were obtained or bought and then brought back by humans!

“Then how many lower-grade spirit stones can one cultivation point be exchanged for?”

Su Xiaobai asked.

“One cultivation point goes for ten lower-grade spirit stones!”

One cultivation point = ten lower-grade spirit stones?!

Su Xiaobai’s eyes lit up with growing joy.

At this moment, his personal cultivation point balance showed a staggering total of 160,000 points…

Based on the exchange ratio between spirit stones and spirit coins—

That came out to a total of 160 trillion spirit coins!
