"System, upgrade my auto-practice function immediately!"
With money in hand, Su Xiaobai did not hesitate in the slightest and decisively issued the command.
In just two days, he would be heading to the Dongfang family to stir up some trouble.
Before that, the most useful thing for Su Xiaobai was none other than automatic cultivation and automatic practice… especially automatic practice.
Every additional Lesser Transcendent cultivation technique he successfully practiced meant a stronger ability to protect himself. Even if he ultimately failed in his mission, at least he wouldn't lose his life at the hands of an Ultimate Martial Commander.
Therefore, automatic practice had become Su Xiaobai's greatest reliance!
"Deducted 26.2144 billion, upgraded the one-click practice space to level 18, and increased the space-time flow rate from 131,072 times to 262,144 times!"
"Deducted 52.4288 billion, upgraded the one-click practice space to level 19, and increased the space-time flow rate from 262,144 times to 524,288 times!"
Just like that, 78.6 billion was spent in an instant~.
Even though Su Xiaobai wanted to level up one more time to unlock the fifth practice slot at level 20, the required 100 billion was simply too much. There was no way to gather that much money in a short time.
However, with the significant increase in the space-time flow rate of one-click practice, cultivating Lesser Transcendent techniques in the future wouldn't even take a full day—just a few hours would be enough to reach the beginner level!
Even reaching the intermediate level would only take half a day, and achieving advanced or peak levels would be much faster!
Now that the automatic practice was taken care of, the next step was automatic cultivation.
"Deducted 26.2144 billion, upgraded the one-click cultivation space to level 19, and increased the space-time flow rate from 2,097,152 times to X times!"
Automatic cultivation: 4.41 million times speed.
Automatic practice: 520,000 times speed.
Both had reached unimaginable, terrifying levels!
"With this, 'Thousand Miles to the West Technique' will take only three days to reach the beginner level."
"As for 'Ten Absolute Heavenly Body,' 'Unified Law Codex,' and 'Immovable King Sutra,' they will all reach the intermediate level in just one more day!"
"And my cultivation realm… I'm already an advanced Martial General, just one step away from becoming a Martial Commander!"
"This final step… once I cross it, it will be a complete rebirth!"
Su Xiaobai's eyes gleamed.
Below the Martial Commander level, all are mere ants.
This was a truth that Su Xiaobai had gradually come to realize.
Before reaching Martial Commander one couldn't fly, couldn't comprehend Lesser Transcendent techniques, vital energy was limited and his body wasn't as resilient as steel.
But once he became a Martial Commander, he could soar through the sky, could fully comprehend Lesser Transcendent techniques, his vital energy would boil like a raging river and his body would be as unbreakable as iron.
It was like transcending an entire life level!
Once he reached the Martial Commander realm, his strength would skyrocket beyond imagination!
"Now, it's just a matter of waiting…"
"But since I'm already here at Base 15, I should work on improving my aptitude before heading to the Otherworld, right?"
Coming to Base 15, aside from dealing with the Dongfang family, Su Xiaobai's top priority was the Otherworld.
To enter the Otherworld, one of the mandatory requirements was to have a top-tier cultivation aptitude.
Yet, up until now, Su Xiaobai's aptitude remained at the lowest level…
Thus, when he sold off his pills, he specifically kept those that could enhance aptitude.
From Grade-4 to Grade-6, he had them all. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.net
Without hesitation, he took out ten 'One-Origin Heaven-Opening Pills' and directly stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them like candy.
As soon as the pills entered his stomach, the effects kicked in instantly.
A burning sensation surged within his body, making him feel unbearably hot.
However, the sensation came as fast as it disappeared.
Su Xiaobai quickly checked his status and saw that his cultivation aptitude had changed from lowest to basic!
For most people, modifying their cultivation aptitude was an agonizing experience. Even Su Ling'er had to grit her teeth and endure excruciating pain when upgrading hers.
But Su Xiaobai was different.
He was already a high-level Martial General, and his true combat strength was enough to crush elite Martial Commanders!
Moreover, due to cultivating multiple Lesser Transcendent body refining techniques, his flesh, bones, and meridians had been strengthened to an extreme level. A little pain from modifying aptitude was nothing to him!
Without hesitation, he swallowed a bunch of Grade-5 pills.
These Grade-5 pills were incredibly valuable—just one could spark a war among warriors at Base 18!
Even at Base 15, they were highly coveted.
Yet, Su Xiaobai popped them into his mouth like snacks, chewing them crisply without a care.
As the burning sensation returned, his aptitude evolved once more.
From basic → intermediate.
Once the Grade-5 pills were gone, Su Xiaobai moved on to Grade-6 pills.
If anyone witnessed this scene, they would probably be heartbroken!
That was a genuine Grade-6 pill, worth its weight in gold!
And yet, Su Xiaobai crunched it down like a casual snack…
To an outsider, it wouldn't seem like he was chewing on pills, but rather burning stacks of spiritual coins!
Before long, his aptitude went from intermediate → advanced.
Now, he was just one step away from reaching top-tier aptitude!
However, to break through this final barrier, he needed Grade-7 pills—and a large quantity of them!
"Once the next batch of rare resources arrives, I'll collect more Grade-7 pill ingredients and alchemy formulas… then I'll push my aptitude straight to the top!"
The value of Grade-7 pills was beyond imagination.
Back then, to refine one Grade-7 'Qian Yuan Soul-Returning Pill', Dongfang Rou had to trade five Lesser Transcendent techniques—one of which was even an attribute-based Lesser Transcendent technique!
Although aptitude-modifying pills weren't as valuable as the Qian Yuan Soul-Returning Pill, their Grade-7 status alone made them extraordinarily expensive!
While Elder Feng and Dongfang Rou went out to meet some people, Su Xiaobai stayed home, playing with Su Ling'er and Xiao Long Bai.
Even as he played, he didn't forget to rotate Lesser Transcendent techniques in his practice slots.
With automatic practice reaching level 19, his cultivation speed had skyrocketed:
A body refinement Lesser Transcendent technique reached beginner level in just six hours.
Reaching intermediate level took only ten hours.
So apart from keeping 'Thousand Miles to the West Technique' in place, he continuously rotated the other three slots.
"Ding! 'Heaven-Piercing Record' reached intermediate level!"
"Ding! 'Star-Shattering Purple Void Dominance Technique' reached intermediate level!"
"Ding! 'Azure Dragon Break' reached intermediate level!"
With such a horrifying number of Lesser Transcendent techniques, his status panel finally underwent a qualitative change!
