Chapter 1374: with translation of chapter title

Uh... mainly because this equipment is more suitable for you, it can boost Thunder attribute output. Xiao Feng explained awkwardly.

Da Bai

Yu Cixue

Xue Ningzhen

Jiang Ning

Among those nine items, there were actually two with relatively low equipment requirements, but they weren't suitable for anyone he knew, so he didn't keep any of them.

Yu Cixue bid on several consumables in the auction, but she didn't purchase any equipment. After all, items that often cost tens of billions of Spirit Stones were beyond her means to buy and give away casually.

After the auction ended, Yu Cixue wanted to invite Xiao Feng to tour her sect, but Xiao Feng politely declined, saying he needed to focus on comprehending skills.

The two separated in the market; he used the Flower Moon Palace key to return directly to his residence, began secluded cultivation, and simultaneously comprehended the final two moves of the Opening Heaven Four Swords, as well as the Heavenly Fire Principle and the Yin-Yang Dao.

Heavenly Fire Law

His "multitasking" ability was becoming increasingly apparent; handling four or five tasks at once caused him little strain.

Main God Threshold

Multitask

Jiang Ning, who lives under the same roof, now also has over 300,000 willpower, but compared to when he had over 300,000, the gap is clear—she cannot multitask; at most she can handle two things simultaneously, any more and she would become confused.

Obviously, multitasking ability is not absolutely tied to willpower strength. Some people are born able to multitask—drawing circles with the left hand and squares with the right, while sketching a three‑room layout under their feet.

Hidden Talent

One Qi Transforms into Three Purities

However, there is no one to guide him in this regard, nor any classics or cultivation methods offering systematic instruction; he is basically feeling his way across the river by touching stones, unsure what he will evolve into in the future.

Xiao Feng vaguely felt that once his strength increased, using the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities to create four bodies—each handling three or four tasks simultaneously—should not cause mental confusion.

7-Day Double Experience Pill

The process of comprehending skills and principles is very tedious; each day is spent in dull sitting meditation.

Da Bai strolls around the garden every day, occasionally flies a lap around the city, always wanting to find something to do but never finding anything.

Xiao Feng hardly moved at all; aside from going offline every few days, he spent nearly all his time in secluded cultivation.

Cultivation Dungeon

Resource Dungeon

Xiao Feng refused both sides, saying he would fight again at the end of next month, which conveniently lets him take advantage of a 【7‑day Double Experience Pill】 to also clear the month after next.

In the Primordial World event, the Azure Blue Realm ranked fifth and received three Double Experience Pills. Over the past four months, they have used two of them as double‑experience rewards from territory wars, leaving only one remaining.

Myriad Heavens Battlefield

Yu Cixue simply gave up—she had no Double Experience Pills to consume, and since Xiao Feng said he would fight at month's end, she decided to wait until then to fight together.

Those who usually play well with her, such as the Gu Gu Chicken gang, were also pulled by her and not rushing to level up, instead waiting to hitch a ride on the experts' coattails.

Xiao Feng stayed in the Flower Moon Palace to comprehend swords, the Dao, and laws; each day he gained some insight, but not quickly enough to reach his satisfaction.

Enlightenment

Comprehending Law

Spirit Stone

Basically all gameplay below level 500 has already been developed by players; previously they would everywhere reclaim wasteland, do quests, and earn honor.

Now you only need to run cultivation and resource dungeons each month, and you basically won't fall behind.

Occasionally, when idle, going to clear the Myriad Heavens Tower or the Arena can also yield some extra gains.

Such a game ecology gradually becomes bland; players' average online time has dropped from over 20 hours a day initially to about 12 hours a day.

There have been signs of the Primeval World event; everyone knows that the future Myriad Heavens Battlefield will be the fiercest competition spot, so now we just need to silently raise our level and wait for that day to arrive.

Of course, these are just ordinary players.

Those top experts, core members of major powers, are basically online all day; when idle they cultivate and temper their will, unwilling to miss any chance to improve themselves.

Xiao Feng already counts as a very diligent type; he spends a long time online, hardly wasting time, basically either doing proper business or cultivating.

But there are still many who are even more diligent than him, using their time extremely tightly, with almost no spare moment.

……

Game time: Myriad Heavens Year 01, May 27.

Xiao Feng has been in secluded cultivation for almost two months.

During such a long time, aside from going offline to eat, he basically hasn't moved, constantly contemplating and practicing various new abilities in his mind.

Fortunately, the body in the game is immaculate—hair and beard don't grow—otherwise he would probably now be like a beggar.

Recently Da Bai has also been cultivating. As a mount, it gains half its experience from cultivation and half from flying; to level up, it basically flies every day in the Primordial Imperial City and then cultivates for a while.

Its level is now also 400, getting ever closer to transformation.

But when Xiao Feng sits in meditation for dozens of days, it gets terribly bored, idle enough to want to lay an egg!

"Big brother… let's go to Jinpeng Dao for secluded cultivation; it's deadly boring here~"

That day, Da Bai began to grumble again.

Xiao Feng stopped cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled faintly: "You were once a Mahayana-stage expert who cultivated for ten thousand years; how can your patience be so poor?"

Da Bai lay on the ground and muttered: "It's not because following you has been too enjoyable; staying still for two months straight is a bit hard to get used to."

Xiao Feng was speechless.

"Alright, then I'll take you out to play." He stood up, and the withered leaves on his body rustled and fell, scattering all over the ground.

"Really? Where are we going to play!"

Da Bai gave a start, jumped up directly, and asked delightedly.

Xiao Feng glanced at the time and said: "First do a dungeon with the Jade Fairy Maiden, clear two rounds in a row, then head to Yunchu Shan."

"Yunchu Shan? Ah! Big brother, have you already made preparations?" Da Bai was taken aback and shouted.

Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "Recently the harvest has been not bad; I feel there's not much room for improvement in the short term. Let's finish the woodcutter senior's commission, then we'll go play in another world."

Da Bai was initially happy; hearing they could go to Yunchu Shan, maybe they'd get a chance to see the Legendary Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang, he became excited and thrilled.

But hearing they had to leave the Nine Provinces, he felt a bit reluctant, saying: "So urgent? I've only been here three months..."

Xiao Feng laughed: "Before we leave, let's make a trip to Jinpeng Dao. If you want to come back later, I'll bring you again; anyway we have the Void Umbrella, so the journey won't take long."

"Okay, Big brother, Big brother is the best!"

Hearing they could come back, Da Bai immediately regained his cheerful mood, lying on the ground and shouting: "Big brother, hop on, tell me wherever you want to go!"

Xiao Feng leapt up and replied: "Let's go to the market first; in over fifty days we should have purchased quite a few spirit crystals, and afterwards there probably won't be much left, so we can cancel the commission."
