Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 479 Control (1/3)

Time flies, years fly by, a hundred years is just a snap of the fingers, life is also a blink, and it turns into a sea of ​​changes in the blink of an eye.

Five hundred years later, Wandao Academy.

In a quiet room, the door was lightly opened, and a person walked out. His hair was as black as ink, and his clothes were as white as snow. He was originally as handsome as jade, and his appearance was heroic, but between his brows, there was fatigue, disgust, and resistance, making him depressed. Like the walking dead.

Even so, he still braced himself and dragged his heavy steps to the academy treasury.

"Yo!"

"Isn't this the big sword of our Xuantian Sword Sect?"

Seeing him arriving, at the front desk of the treasury, a woman with graceful figure and charming eyes immediately laughed out loud: "What, the time is up, are you here to return the flying sword?"

"snort!"

Shenxiao snorted coldly, ignored the teasing of the acacia witch, and only placed a sword box in front of the stage.

"hehe!"

Youmei'er smiled and didn't care about his attitude. She just took off the sword box and inspected it carefully.

After a moment, she nodded with satisfaction: "No problem, it is indeed a sword for killing demons and refining immortals. Just sign and you can leave."

After saying that, he pushed a jade slip in front of Shen Xiao.

"snort!"

Shen Xiao snorted coldly, pointed his sword a little, and imprinted it into the jade, then turned around and left, with a hint of resentment.

"Hey, why bother?"

Seeing his leaving figure, Youmei'er shook her head and sighed: "It's been five hundred years and I'm still so stubborn, making myself like a social animal. I rent a sword and go into seclusion with a smile, but return the sword and go out to be miserable."

Hearing her sigh, Yin Yangce's light flashed beside him, as if he wanted to make a sound, but in the end he did not speak.

Yao Mei'er ignored it and stretched, showing off her proud figure: "But having said that, going to work is indeed a very painful thing. Oh, it would be great if someone could support me!"

Seeing her laziness, Yin Yangce was helpless: "This job is already very leisurely. If the young master is still not satisfied, then it is better to simply retreat and practice for a period of time, and then go to sword practice to earn credits after recuperating. "

"Nonsense, come and support me in seclusion. Not to mention sword refining, these two words are what bothers me the most right now!"

Youmei'er rolled her eyes at it and lay on the stage like a salted fish, without the high-spiritedness of her original "Involution Declaration".

This is something that can't be helped. After more than five hundred years, everyone would be exhausted physically and mentally, let alone her who is lazy by nature.

Seeing her like this, Qi Ling was helpless and could only say: "My little master, I'd better hold on for a while longer. The Jiuyi Xuanyuan Sword is a time-limited mission. If you miss it, you won't be able to earn a lot of credits like this."

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

These words made Yao Mei'er furious: "Whose limited-time mission hasn't ended after five hundred years?"

"Little Master..."

"Shut up, I'm going to lie down for a while and we'll talk about refining my sword later!"

"..."

Just when the security guard of a certain warehouse chose to lie down on the salted fish, Shen Xiao also returned to his cave, painfully and skillfully turned on the computer, logged on to the Internet, and prepared to purchase a batch of materials to continue refining the sword.

A lot of things had happened in the past five hundred years, but they basically had nothing to do with him, and he was in no mood to care about them, because he had to devote all his time and energy to two things.

The first is cultivation, the second is weapon refining!

For five hundred years, he only did these two things. He earned credits by practicing swordsmanship, and then used the credits to rent flying swords, go into seclusion, and so on.

To this day, he has lost count of how many swords he has refined and how many credits he has earned. He only feels that he is like an ox and a horse. He has become a tool for earning points in sword refining. Every time he goes out to refining swords, he feels like he is going to a funeral. heavy.

Physically and mentally exhausted, lifeless!

This is how Shen Xiao feels now.

But for the sake of cultivation, he couldn't stop. Even if he was extremely disgusted, he would continue the work of "refining swords to prepare the enemy".

The pain involved may be difficult for others to understand.

But just when he was in such pain to purchase sword-making materials...

"How could that happen!?"

Shen Xiao's pupils shrank and his expression changed. He looked at the new announcement on the Academy's official website, his eyes full of shock and anger.

"The limited-time mission, Jiuyi Xuanyuan Sword, will end in the year 520 of the Wandao Calendar. At that time, the exchange price of the Jiuyi Xuanyuan Sword will return to the normal level. The magic weapon-level Xuanyuan Sword can be exchanged for 150,000 credits, and the Lingbao-level Xuanyuan Sword can be exchanged for two Millions of credits, please redeem them in time, thank you fellow Taoists for your support!”

"Credit exchange, item price adjustment, the prices of foundation-building pills, five-element golden elixirs, Yuanshenli liquid and other realm-breaking elixirs are reduced, the exchange prices of spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and spiritual treasures are reduced, and the exchange prices of all spiritual materials below the fifth level are reduced. Reduced, the exchange prices of all skills, techniques, secrets, and magical powers below the fifth level have been greatly reduced..."

"Credit redemption, item price adjustment, fairy weapon redemption/rental prices increased, and the redemption prices of all skills, techniques, secrets, and magical powers above level five returned to normal (previously they were all preferential prices during limited-time missions)"

“New permanent mission—the rare treasures of the world!”

"Mission details: Wandao Academy collects rare treasures from all over the world, including but not limited to spiritual objects, immortal weapons, exercises and other rare treasures above the fifth level. Wandao Academy will spend a lot of money to purchase them. You are guaranteed to be satisfied! "

"..."

Looking at the update announcement just released on the official website of the Academy, Shen Xiao was shocked to the ground as if struck by lightning.

What's the meaning?

What's the meaning!

It's a waste of time, right?

A five-hundred-year time-limited mission is over when you say it’s over?

If you finish, what should I do? Where can I earn my credits? Without credits, how can I rent a flying sword? Without a flying sword, how can I practice?

We emptied our family's wealth for you, worked hard, and refined the Nine Instruments Xuanyuan Sword day and night. As a result, you are now killing me and kicking me away?

Are you still a human being! ?

Shen Xiao gritted his teeth, and his anger was unspeakable.

Limited-time task, limited-time task, although they said it was a limited-time task as early as five hundred years ago, it is reasonable to end it now, and no one can find fault with it.

But finding fault does not mean that there is no problem, nor does it mean that it is acceptable!

Five hundred years ago, the Wanwan Dao Academy had just started, and the climate was not yet established. There were not so many high-level cultivators and refining masters, so this limited-time task was issued to let the cultivators in the world "OEM" the Nine Instruments Xuanyuan Sword for you.

Needless to say, the difficulty of this outsourcing is that we have borne all the hard work, manpower, material resources, time costs, risks of refining, losses from failure, etc. in the early stage.

Now, five hundred years have passed, and your Wandao Academy has become a force to be reckoned with, and has cultivated a large number of high-level cultivators and weapon refining masters, and is capable of refining the Jiuyi Xuanyuan by itself. Do you want to kick us out?

Isn't this killing the donkey after it has done its work?

Shenxiao can't accept it!

In these years, in order to keep the Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword firmly in his hands and prevent others from getting involved, he has almost emptied his family's assets. The foundation items given to him by the Xuantian Sword Sect have basically been invested in the refining of the Jiuyi Xuanyuan Sword, so that he can "rent" the Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword all the time.

Now, Wandao Academy has ended the limited-time mission of Jiuyi Xuanyuan. Although it has not closed the acquisition channel, it has cut the acquisition price in half, reducing it by as much as half, and at the same time has raised the prices of "immortal weapon rental" and "exchange for high-level methods".

Isn't this clearly targeting him?

Working is already painful, you fucking cut the salary?

Cutting the salary is fine, but you fucking raise the rent?

Are you still a human being? Do you still have a conscience?

Shen Xiao clenched his teeth, full of anger, but soon he vented his anger and fell to the ground powerlessly.

He couldn't accept it, but he couldn't resist.

If someone else dared to do this, cutting off the income while increasing the expenses of "renting immortal tools" and "exchanging for high-level methods", it would definitely cause complaints and even public outrage.

Thousands of people pointed fingers at him, but he ended up with nothing. As the master of the calamity, if he aroused the anger of the world, the consequences would be self-evident. He would be backfired by people, causing the calamity to dissipate, and even be punished by God.

But... now it is not someone else who is doing this, but the Wandao Academy!

For five hundred years, the academy has achieved extremely magnificent results in governing the world.

The exchange list is constantly updated, and countless rare treasures have been released for the academy disciples to exchange with the world's cultivators.

In addition, the Wandao Academy has continued to lower prices, making low- and mid-end spiritual objects more affordable, and even bringing down the prices of some high-end spiritual objects.

Let’s talk about pills.

Five hundred years ago, the mainstream foundation-building pills on the market had an average price of 50,000 to 100,000 credits depending on the quality.

Five hundred years later, the foundation-building pill has withdrawn from the mid-end market and has become a low-end or even entry-level pill. A top-grade foundation-building pill only costs 20,000 credits. After this price adjustment, it has dropped to 15,000.

Not only foundation-building pills, but also five-element golden pills, as well as realm-breaking pills such as the spirit liquid, plus various rare treasures. As long as they are low- and mid-end spiritual objects below the fifth level, they have been popularized by the Wandao Academy, and the prices have been continuously lowered, greatly improving the purchasing power of "credits".

Therefore, although the Wandao Academy ended the limited-time mission of Jiuyi Xuanyuan and increased the price of renting immortal tools and exchanging methods, which cut income and increased expenditure, in fact, the cultivators in the world did not suffer much loss, because the "credits" in their hands have been increasing in value over the years.

Ending this limited-time mission is actually a means of regulation, suppressing the source of credits, ensuring the value of credits, and avoiding "inflation" leading to economic crisis. It is a completely reasonable national policy for governing the world and will not harm the interests of the public.

Even if people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, and some people have complaints, they cannot cause public indignation and affect the "calamity" of the Wandao Academy.

The only ones who are really hurt are a small number of people like him, who want to rent immortal tools and covet various high-level methods. After the limited-time mission ends and the price of Jiuyi Xuanyuan is cut in half, they must do more work and invest more energy to maintain their current lives.

So, Shenxiao can't accept it.

But what if he can't accept it?

Five hundred years have passed, and he has not improved his strength very fast while refining the sword and practicing. Now he has just returned to the void, and he does not have the sword of slaying demons and refining immortals in his hand.

Even if he has the sword of slaying demons and refining immortals in his hand, and his cultivation has been promoted to the mainstream fusion realm of the Dongtian Daozi, he can't do anything.

After all, Li Xuanyuan was a sword-killing fusion 500 years ago, like a butchering pig and dog. Now 500 years have passed, who knows how much his strength has improved, who dares to test the law and challenge his edge?

So...

Shenxiao looked at the screen without saying a word, and finally placed an order silently to purchase a batch of sword-making materials.

Now it is only the 510th year of the Wandao calendar, and there are still ten years before the end of the time-limited mission in the 520th year. As long as he works harder, he can still refine the last batch of Jiuyi Xuanyuan Swords before the end of the time-limited mission.

This last wool must be pulled, otherwise it will be sorry for yourself!
