Since point enlightenment was not possible, Lin Feng directly chose to use it.
"You consumed the [Ginseng Fruit] (Twenty-fold Amplification)."
"You have converted 100 portions of Great Dao Origin."
"Currently converted 663 times, used 526 portions; Great Dao Origin reserve is 137, can upgrade 100 levels, can advance to Earth Immortal."
"Within 1 hour, the consumption required to convert Great Dao Origin is reduced by 90%, and there is a 5% chance of direct conversion without consuming resources."
This time, the 1% chance did not trigger. Lin Feng felt a little regretful.
The cumulative number of conversions already made made him feel a bit uneasy.
How could the 100 portions from consuming the Ginseng Fruit also be counted as conversion attempts?
If that's the case, wouldn't it cost an astronomical amount of Immortal Crystals to convert further?
"Costing 16 trillion (1.6 billion) Immortal Crystals to convert 1 portion of Great Dao Origin, currently converted 664 times, used 526 portions; Great Dao Origin reserve is 138, can upgrade..."
Lin Feng's vision went black.
Oh my heavens!
This one portion of Great Dao Origin directly bankrupted him!
Fortunately, after the 90% reduction, he could still manage a few more times. He unconsciously clicked again.
"Costing 17 trillion (0) Immortal Crystals to convert 1 portion of Great Dao Origin, currently converted 665 times..."
Lin Feng's expression faltered.
Why was it zero?
Did he trigger the 5% chance of not consuming resources himself?
What good luck. His eyes lit up. He quickly clicked several more times consecutively.
"Costing 18 trillion (0) Immortal Crystals to convert..."
"Costing 19 trillion (1.9 billion) Immortal Crystals to convert..."
"Costing 20 trillion (0) Immortal Crystals to convert..."
"Your Immortal Crystals are insufficient to convert!" A cold prompt appeared, catching Lin Feng off guard.
Ran out of money? He quickly checked. He found that his total assets were only a little over 1 trillion Immortal Crystals. Lin Feng felt distressed. The 90% reduction buff still had more than 50 minutes left, but he had no Immortal Crystals. His spirit was broken.
He quickly thought of a solution. Continue consuming Ginseng Fruits! If the 5% chance could trigger consecutively, what was the 1% chance?
"You consumed the [Ginseng Fruit] (Twenty-fold Amplification)."
"You have converted 100 portions of Great Dao Origin."
"Currently converted 768 times..." This didn't work. Try again!
"You consumed the [Ginseng Fruit] (Twenty-fold Amplification)."
"You have converted 120 portions of Great Dao Origin."
"Currently converted 888 times..." Although the enhanced Ginseng Fruit this time could convert 120 portions of Great Dao Origin, the option Lin Feng wanted the most still didn't appear. He was getting a bit reckless. He continued to use them.
"You consumed..."
"You converted..."
One. Two. Three. Until...
"You consumed the [Ginseng Fruit] (Twenty-fold Amplification)."
"You have converted 80 portions of Great Dao Origin."
"Currently converted 1188 times, used 526 portions; Great Dao Origin reserve is 662, can upgrade 100 levels, can advance to Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
"You have cleared the cumulative conversion progress of Great Dao Origin."
Finally! Lin Feng was ecstatic. It succeeded! This should mean he can start over, right? He guessed. At the same time, he eagerly began to experiment.
"Costing 1 silver to convert 1 portion of Great Dao Origin, currently converted 1 time, used 526 portions; Great Dao Origin reserve is 663, can upgrade 100 levels, can advance to Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
Indeed! Lin Feng excitedly clenched his fist. Since that's the case, the rest is simple. Lin Feng began to convert frantically. Due to the buff, his consumption was only one-tenth of the original. He converted 56 portions with just 6 million gold. And for the subsequent Immortal Crystal consumptions, with the previous experience, he clicked rapidly. Until...
"Costing 1 trillion (10 million) Immortal Crystals to convert 1 portion of Great Dao Origin, currently converted 567 times, used 526 portions; Great Dao Origin reserve is 1230, can upgrade 100 levels, can advance to Quasi-Saint."
"Your Immortal Crystals are insufficient to convert!" Even 10 million Immortal Crystals weren't enough? Lin Feng stopped. Although this continuous conversion had almost depleted his Immortal Crystals, leaving only a few million, the harvest was very pleasing! A reserve of 1230 portions of Great Dao Origin! This means that previously un-upgradeable top-tier treasures now had potential for further advancement. 100 portions could convert ordinary innate supreme treasures into more powerful World-Opening Spirit Treasures. Unless it was a unique item like the [Chaos Reifiable Divine Pool], which required 1000 portions. Now, it could also be converted!
However, he did not use the Great Dao Origin on this item. The ability to reify innate supreme treasures was sufficient for now. He had a more urgent need. The Tower of Ascension! Originally, he thought he could develop slowly. After all, there were numerous bosses in the wild. Running through different servers every day, his strength was steadily improving. There were also increasingly powerful high-tier bosses within the Tower of Ascension. But now, the respawn time of wild bosses was outrageously long, and the Tower of Ascension had also been cleared temporarily. The daily harvest could be seen at a glance. This was not what Lin Feng expected.
Furthermore, from Zhen Yuan Great Immortal's narration, Lin Feng learned that the gap between him and true powerhouses was still very large. He had no room for complacency. He must accelerate his pace of strength improvement. And all of this was pinned on the forthcoming enlightenment of the Tower of Ascension.
"Do you wish to consume 1000 points of Great Dao Origin to perform Great Dao Enlightenment on the [Deified Tower of Ascension] (Twenty-fourth Fold Amplification)?"
"This enlightenment may alter the form of this treasure. Upon enlightenment, the original progress will be cleared."
This time, a new prompt appeared. Lin Feng's eyes lit up. It seemed that the previous upgrades were just minor adjustments. This time, it was serious. He naturally paused the enlightenment first. He entered the Tower of Ascension and chose to claim all unclaimed clearing rewards at once.
"You have performed one-click sweeping."
"You have cleared 99 levels."
"You have continuously cleared 99 levels, accumulating 5,938,392 points of Immortal Power, 13,831,506 points of Immortal Power (5x Refinement), 67,716,000 points of Immortal Power (8x Refinement), 71,700,000 points of Immortal Power (10x Refinement), and 531,200,000 Immortal Crystals."
"You have obtained two lucky draw opportunities."
"You have obtained three opportunities to enhance the clearing state."
... The sweeping of normal levels was significantly higher than before. It seemed that the additional gains from the tier upgrade had started to take effect. The opportunities to enhance the state were now useless. However, the lucky draw opportunities had accumulated quite a bit, which Lin Feng found a bit regrettable. On impulse, he received a notification.
"Do you wish to combine ten ordinary lucky draw opportunities into one divine lucky draw?"
Lin Feng chose to enhance. The ordinary lucky draws were no longer of much use to him. However, this divine lucky draw, like the name of the subsequent levels, might yield something good. After the enhancement, Lin Feng directly chose to use it. The roulette spun several times and finally stopped. Lin Feng opened it and saw a recipe. He was a bit surprised. After several days of lucky draws in the Tower of Ascension, combining ten opportunities, all he got was this? At this stage, what medicinal formulas could still affect him? He checked its attributes. To his surprise, it was a very special pill recipe. It didn't simply increase Immortal Power or refinement speed. Instead, it broke through the Immortal Power cap. Each person could only consume one per tier, regardless of the tier. And this recipe could only produce a maximum of five pills. The increase was substantial, up to 50%. However, even this 50% required 5 uses to increase. Each use required consuming one's full Immortal Power to increase the cap by 10%. After 5 uses, the cap would be increased by 50%. And each consumption was not recoverable. It was a permanent loss.
In other words, players would lose all the Immortal Power painstakingly accumulated in their current tier to increase the Immortal Power cap of that tier by 10%. This consumption was quite significant. For example, a Celestial Immortal level player only had a normal Immortal Power cap of 80,000. If they killed a Celestial Immortal level boss of the same tier, even an Excellent grade would require killing 400. Even a Legendary grade would require over 100 to accumulate so much Immortal Power. And now, after the system update, the respawn time of a Legendary grade Celestial Immortal boss was as long as 8 hours. Even if normal players could snag 10 bosses in a round, they could only farm a maximum of 24 bosses per day without eating or sleeping. It would take several days to fill their Immortal Power cap. And this was under ideal circumstances. The game was now full of players. Without guild or powerful team support, it was difficult to even get one boss. Let alone more? Therefore, such consumption, even for top players, represented the accumulation of several days or even ten days cleared in one go, just to increase the cap by 10%. Although after the increase, the next advancement to a higher realm would also double, and overall, they would be much stronger than players of the same level. But in this case, during the days without Immortal Power, they could only rely on others to carry them. Either pay to hire top players of the same level, or ask friends from the guild or team. Both methods were very difficult. This was a powerful pill, but not everyone could afford it.
Of course, if Lin Feng were willing to sell it, he could probably easily exchange it for a massive amount of real-world assets. Even a small island or a city might be possible. After all, with this pill, five top-tier experts could be created. Such strategic significance was immeasurable by money. But Lin Feng was still a bit dissatisfied. One use per person, maximum five people. This was clearly not enough for the team members. He gritted his teeth. He spent three portions of Great Dao Origin enlightenment consecutively, consuming 102 portions, to elevate it to its peak. It became a unique Chaos Treasure level existence. Like the Ginseng Fruit, it could not be further upgraded. Fortunately, all the effort was worth it.
