Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Cultivation experience +1!

Cultivation experience +1!

......

Chang'sheng swallowed a Yuan Condensing Pill, activated the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique, and his panel kept popping up notifications.

Once the medicinal power of a Yuan Condensing Pill was fully absorbed, Chang'sheng went ahead and took another one.

As the "+1 experience" notification appeared, his aura grew steadily stronger.

"I didn't expect breaking through to Foundation Establishment Second Layer would be this easy!"

"Could it be because I absorbed Heaven and Earth Qi and became a Flawless Dao Foundation?"

One day passed.

Chang'sheng opened his eyes, looking down at his hands, surprise and joy on his face.

At the same time—

A torrent of magical power burst forth from his dantian, flooding his entire body!

He'd thought he'd get stuck at 999 experience points, that it wouldn't be such a breeze to break through, but after consuming five Yuan Condensing Pills and one Essence Stabilizing Pill, he easily reached Foundation Establishment Second Layer.

"Keep taking elixirs!"

Expectation glimmered in Chang'sheng's eyes, and he immediately pulled out another Yuan Condensing Pill and swallowed it, keeping an eye on his panel.

"So now that I've become Foundation Establishment Second Layer, one Yuan Condensing Pill only raises my experience by 100 points?"

Soon, Chang'sheng took another Yuan Condensing Pill. Glancing at the panel with the rising experience numbers, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

[Foundation Establishment Second Layer (0/2000)]

To advance from Foundation Establishment Second Layer to Third Layer, it takes 2,000 experience points; at this rate, it'd take 20 Yuan Condensing Pills to do it!

"Let's try an Essence Stabilizing Pill!"

Chang'sheng's eyes gleamed as he took out an Essence Stabilizing Pill.

He'd found the Essence Stabilizing Pill in Xuan Jing's storage bag; the last one he took gave 400 experience points, but now that he's entered Foundation Establishment Second Layer, who knows how much it'll boost?

This pill was faintly white, radiating strong fragrance, about the size of a pigeon's egg—definitely high quality.

Chang'sheng swallowed the pill, and its immense medicinal power instantly swept through his body. Quick as a flash, he activated the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique to absorb the surging energy!

Meanwhile, he closely watched the changes on his experience panel!

"One Essence Stabilizing Pill used to grant 400 experience points, but now only gives 200. Looks like as cultivation rises, the experience gain halves—so all effects get cut in half!"

Half an hour later, Chang'sheng stared at his panel, deep in thought.

As his experience increased, he sensed the magical power in his dantian growing thicker and more refined.

"Keep taking pills—let's see if I can break through to Foundation Establishment Third Layer!"

Staring at the pile of Yuan Condensing and Essence Stabilizing Pills in front of him, Chang'sheng made up his mind—since experience points improve cultivation, he might as well just take as many as he can!

With a Ghost Dao Tracking planted on him by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, his only hope for safety was to level up his cultivation as quickly as possible.

Time ticked by.

Six hours passed.

[Foundation Establishment Second Layer (1999/2000)]

"Looks like I still have to grind it out!"

Chang'sheng glanced at his panel, a frown creasing his brow.

No matter how many pills he swallowed, his experience points just wouldn't cross that threshold!

"Guess I'll cultivate some techniques, master the Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique, and then simplify it, perfect it, and when I fuse it with my Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique and Five Elements Pure Yang Technique, I wonder what kind of Foundation Establishment Technique I'll get?"

Excitement sparked in Chang'sheng's eyes. He knew the better and more complete a cultivation technique was, the greater boost it gave his own cultivation. With three techniques merged, a much stronger one was bound to emerge!

Thinking this, Chang'sheng took out the Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique manual and began reading.

[Ghost Dao Essence Condensing Technique (Entry Level 0/1000)]

After skimming the manual twenty odd times, his panel popped up with a red notification.

"Entry Level unlocked?"

Chang'sheng stared at the notification, pleased.

[Detected Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique at Entry Level. Would you like to spend 100 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]

Right then, the panel flashed another red notification.

"Simplify!"

Chang'sheng wasted no time clicking confirm.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique… Simplification complete... Celestial Ghost Essence Condensing Technique == Ghost Squeeze!]

Twenty seconds after clicking confirm, another red notification popped up.

"Ghost Squeeze?"

Chang'sheng blinked in confusion at the new result.

These Demon Dao techniques, once simplified, always ended up connected to ghosts.

Ghost Squeeze—this one's easy. His Myriad Soul Banner held plenty of ghost souls—Qi Hui, Xuan Jing—just pick a few and squeeze the hell out of them. Torture them till their eyes roll, rack up experience on the technique while he's at it. Damn, that's just too satisfying!

"Come on out!"

With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Soul Banner appeared in his grip, and Chang'sheng shook it. In a flash, Qi Hui and Xuan Jing's souls materialized in the cave.

"Senior...please spare me..."

"I know I was a scumbag and deserved to die for daring to attack you. I'll atone for it! Please, don't torture me anymore..."

Qi Hui saw Chang'sheng summon him and instantly turned pale with terror, dropping to his knees and kowtowing over and over.

Ever since Chang'sheng captured his soul, every few days it was the same—burning, chopping, sliced a thousand ways. Dying never came; the endless torment was driving him insane.

"Spare you? Heh..."

Chang'sheng stared at Qi Hui, lips curling in a cold sneer. He knew damn well—if his power hadn't ascended and turned the tables back then, he'd have ended up as Qi Hui's soul seed, and the results would've been unimaginably grim.
