Chapter 103: Gathering Sand into a Tower

The flying shuttle climbed rapidly.

After a while, it pierced into the clouds.

The sunlight shone through the porthole.

Shining on the gold-threaded black robe, the embroidery patterns flashed with a faint light.

Jiang Jian's fingers brushed lightly, and the frost-white flame between his fingers hid quietly.

"Jiangcheng Auction House."

Jiang Jian took out the gold card, stared at it for a few seconds, and entered the instruction into the flying shuttle.

The next second.

The flying shuttle changed direction.

Flew toward the west side of Tier 5 Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng Auction House.

"Cultivating 'Karma Fire', the spiritual essence growth speed actually increased so much!"

While thoughts surged, Jiang Jian guided the Qi cycle.

Shocked to perceive.

Using the cultivation method of "Karma Fire".

The operation speed of Shenque Qi, compared to before, increased by at least 30%!

The 30% here is not just cultivation speed.

But Qi operation speed, Qi affinity, spiritual essence precipitation, Qi control degree, etc.

Many aspects, from inside to outside, all-round improvement!

Under various blessings.

Even if Jiang Jian just sat here.

Shenque spiritual essence was also increasing slowly!

It is just that.

The higher one goes in God-Given Realm cultivation, the more difficult it becomes.

After exceeding 50%, the difficulty of cultivation rises exponentially!

At Linjiang Academy, the average spiritual essence of a second-year student is around 30% of the God-Given Realm.

Even for third-year students.

The average spiritual essence is only around 50% of the God-Given Realm.

For ordinary students, once they cultivate to this point, their spiritual essence will completely stagnate, making it very difficult to continue improving.

Linjiang Academy is the premier God-Given university in the Prefecture Realm.

Looking at it over a long period, the overall cultivation speed of the academy's students far exceeds that of other God-Given universities.

Compared to ordinary people who don't cultivate much, it is an even greater difference, like heaven and earth.

But even so.

In every graduating class of the academy, among the third-year students.

There won't be more than 10 at the Spring Realm.

Most third-year students are stuck at the level of 30% to 50% of the God-Given Realm.

Only a very small number of heaven-gifted geniuses.

Like Young Master Zhang or Gu Qi.

Piled up with countless resources.

Before graduation, they cultivate to 100% of the God-Given Realm and break into the Spring Realm!

The Spring Realm is extremely rare.

Placed in a barren city, such as Guangling City.

It would not be an exaggeration to say it is one in a million.

Its biggest difference from the God-Given Realm.

Is the addition of an extra cultivation aperture, the Spring Aperture!

Not only that.

The Spring Aperture can also additionally house a talent light cluster!

Which is the third talent!

Every Spring Realm living being has three talents that can be used.

One innate talent and two talent light clusters.

This also leads to.

The status of the Spring Realm being extremely high.

After all.

The Earth star ring was once shattered.

Nowadays, it is very thin.

The more this is the case, the more difficult it is for living beings in the four Earth-Moon realms to cultivate.

And there are only two conditions for star ring expansion.

First, it is the accumulation of long periods of time.

Second, it is the emergence of heaven-gifted geniuses within the realm, making the cultivation scene prosperous.

Naturally, this will feed back into the star ring.

The star ring converts stellar light, which in turn increases the cultivation speed of living beings.

This is also the reason why the Lingtai Realm is extremely important.

After all, the foundation for feeding back into the star ring starts at the Lingtai Realm.

Lingtai Realm living beings can independently absorb the "divine power" within stellar light.

Not only do they not need the star ring to convert it.

Instead, they can inadvertently feed back into the star ring, increasing its thickness and width.

Even if Lingtai Realm living beings do nothing.

The star ring of the realm they are in will gradually increase.

Saturn's star ring is expanding crazily.

This is because there are more and more Lingtai Realm living beings on Saturn.

However.

The current four Earth-Moon realms.

Are completely the opposite.

The star ring is thin, and the conversion of stellar light is scarce.

Living beings have no heart for cultivation.

There are fewer and fewer Lingtai Realm beings.

Forming a vicious cycle.

The Earth star ring has not only not increased.

But as time passes.

With high consumption and low feedback, it has become even thinner!

If not for the existence of the "Planetary Convention."

The four Earth-Moon realms would have long since become a wasteland.

After all, a planet's "star core" is excellent nourishment for star ring expansion.

The original Earth star ring.

Was shattered by terrifying living beings from other planets.

Its purpose was for the Earth's star core.

On Neptune, descendants of gods intervened and established the "Solar System Planetary Convention."

This allowed the four Earth-Moon realms to be preserved.

But in the last hundred years, Neptune has sealed itself.

The living beings upon it have not appeared in the solar system for a long time.

The "Planetary Convention" that once made many planets in the solar system afraid to overstep their bounds.

Its effectiveness is weakening year by year.

Jupiter's prosperous demon spirit era and Saturn's terrifying star ring.

Are gradually baring their fangs toward other planets in the solar system.

The Great Age of Gods.

The star ring is the foundation of a planet.

This is also the reason why the four Earth-Moon realms have cultivation subsidies for Earth citizens with high talent.

However.

Of the 130 prefectures, most are sinking prefectures.

Human hearts are corrupted.

The resources allocated by the Alliance are rarely used for cultivation.

Linjiang Prefecture is a very typical sinking prefecture in a remote corner of Earth.

Influential families and clans are intertwined.

Puchi!

The God-Given University's cultivation prefecture, possessing the "divine power" forbidden array of the Prayer Hall, is one of the most core cultivation resources.

It was originally stipulated that outsiders were absolutely not allowed to enter.

This includes graduated students.

But I don't know since when.

This unshakeable rule.

Had flexibility in its specific execution.

As long as they are outstanding and potential-filled academy graduates.

With the consent of the current "Chief Student" and approval from the Academic Affairs Office.

They can enter the specialized cultivation prefecture.

The "Young Master Zhang" of the Jiangcheng Auction House is a beneficiary of this "flexible accommodation."

However.

These beneficiaries themselves are extremely rare heaven-gifted geniuses.

An increase in cultivation realm is also beneficial to the prefecture.

This is the reason why the Linjiang Prefecture government hasn't been strict about it.

Instead, they turn a blind eye.

"This kind of cultivation speed..."

In the cabin, Jiang Jian sensed his Shenque.

The frost-white karmic fire burned, guiding the circulation of Qi.

Every circulation would absorb spiritual energy, increasing the upper limit of his spiritual essence.

Here, Jiang Jian even felt.

That his affinity for Qi had increased by at least half!

While pondering.

The flying shuttle exited the clouds and descended toward the Jiangcheng Auction House.

Named "Jiangcheng Auction House."

In reality, the entire auction house is a towering and majestic suspended giant city!

This giant city is cast entirely from high-strength technological materials.

At the base of the city, countless light streams of arrays are intertwined.

Keeping it steady, suspended in the firmament.

This auction house is almost equivalent to half of the Shenzhao District of Guangling City.

"Every night at 9 o'clock, an auction is held."

Jiang Jian held the gold card and entered the information into his identity device.

The data for the Jiangcheng Auction House immediately appeared.

This is the largest auction house in the five-fold Jiangcheng of Mount Tianzhu, Linjiang Prefecture.

Relying solely on collecting commissions, it is already wealthy enough to rival a nation.

In the seventeen prefectures of Linjiang, countless spiritual resources are transported by flying shuttles every day to be put up for auction.

Every night at 9 o'clock, there is an auction.

At the end of every month.

There are even prefecture-level auctions with standards exceeding the norm and a massive scale.

"Tonight is a daily auction."

"However, the auction data shows that there are quite a few good things."

Jiang Jian put away the gold card, closed the identity device, and walked off the flying shuttle.

The Prayer Jade's effect is becoming smaller and smaller.

By now, it is already negligible.

Jiang Jian intends to purchase a God-Given weapon to replace the Prayer Jade.

The tax revenue that the Jiangcheng Auction House brings to the prefecture is extremely high.

Even the prefecture's Prayer Hall has several staff members stationed at the auction house.

If someone wins a God-Given weapon, they can immediately hold a binding ceremony.

It is very convenient.

"God-Given weapons are not the more the better."

Jiang Jian walked up the wide stairs.

In order to keep his Qi pure, Jiang Jian does not intend to keep the Prayer Jade.

From beginning to end, keeping only one God-Given weapon.

Only then can the Qi not become impure.

There is also a slight improvement in cultivation speed.

Although these details don't have a big impact.

But Jiang Jian knows better in his heart.

Little by little, it adds up.

Cultivation is never a matter of luck; every minute detail is worth valuing.

"Welcome to the Jiangcheng Auction House."

The city gate ahead was magnificent.

Someone walked up to respectfully guide Jiang Jian.
