Chapter 149:
Chapter 149:
To open the third Acupoint, the required Primordial Force Points doubled again, reaching forty thousand!
For the fourth Acupoint, the points needed doubled once more based on the third!
In other words, cultivating the Crystal Shattering Technique to open the last three Acupoints would require a minimum of 140,000 Primordial Force Points.
Of course, this doesn't mean one needs that many points to open these three Acupoints.
It varies from person to person.
And it also depends on the cultivation technique.
Jiang Cheng, with a tenfold increase in Spirit Energy, only needed five days to refine and absorb over twenty thousand Primordial Force Points, successfully opening these three Acupoints.
"As expected, spending money to enhance Spirit Energy is a wise choice."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
The over one hundred Spirit Soothing Pills he had just consumed could also be used to continuously absorb Primordial Force, greatly reducing the time needed to become a Second Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
However, doing so wouldn't significantly increase his Spirit Energy.
It was evident that becoming a Third Rank would require even more Spirit Soothing Pills!
After prioritizing Spirit Energy enhancement, in the following days, he wouldn't need to spend a single penny; relying solely on his own abilities, he could reach the Second Rank.
Furthermore, the time required to advance from Second to Third Rank would also be significantly reduced.
The same principle applied for advancing from Third to Fourth Rank.
"In the next few days, I'll first raise my strength to the Second Rank, and my Shattered Jade Fist must keep up."
Jiang Cheng glanced at his Proficiency Bar.
The Experience Bar for Shattered Jade Fist was still halfway full, which was fine. The crucial issue was that the Experience Bar for Visualization Technique was too long.
Jiang Cheng looked up.
In the last ten minutes, the Experience Points for Lotus Meditation Technique had only increased by 200.
With a 100,000-point Experience Bar, this was like a drop in the bucket.
If he were to use all his daily Spirit Energy on the Visualization Chart, he could probably do it three times, earning 600 Experience Points.
It would take 166 days to reach the next stage.
The time was similar to when he first started, about half a year.
The difference was in the cost required to shorten this time.
Before entering the realm, a single Basic Spirit Recovery Pill could restore Spirit Energy three times.
But now? With a tenfold increase in Spirit Energy, a single pill could probably only restore three-tenths of it, maybe a little more, but not by much.
If one Basic Spirit Recovery Pill restored a third of the Spirit Energy, earning 200 Experience Points, then for 100,000 Experience Points, it would take 500 times, or 1,500 Basic Spirit Recovery Pills.
Each Basic Spirit Recovery Pill cost 1,000 yuan, so 1,500 pills would be 1.5 million yuan!
Jiang Cheng's scalp went numb.
He had been lucky this time, escaping death and earning 300,000 yuan, plus a heavy sniper rifle, which wouldn't sell for more than 200,000 yuan.
To earn 1.5 million yuan, he would need to complete at least three or four similar tasks.
But how many more times could he kill Yue Shan?
There were many gangs in the slums; killing them all might just be enough.
But when they were in the car, Nightingale specifically warned him not to act on his own and to only take action after receiving a task from the Dawn Society.
Otherwise, there would be consequences.
Aside from this method, hunting Beasts and obtaining materials was another viable option.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.
He was determined to eliminate the toxic members of the Iron Fist Gang.
However, his strength was still weak, and going against the Dawn Society's instructions at this time would undoubtedly lead to trouble.
Therefore, he had no choice but to put his plans on hold for now.
Enhancing Spirit Energy required a substantial financial investment.
That's when I decided to significantly enhance my spirit energy and open up my acupoints.
...
The next morning, Jiang Cheng finished his breakfast at home and bid farewell to his family before hurrying to the headquarters.
Absorbing primordial energy at home is the same, but considering the need to act out the role, it's better to be like an office worker.
As soon as he entered the leisure area, his phone rang.
Jiang Cheng took out his phone and answered the call. Bing Li's voice sounded, "Sea of Stars, I heard you completed the task yesterday?"
"Yes, mainly because Nightingale is very strong, and it didn't take much effort to complete it," Jiang Cheng replied.
"Haha, it's not as simple as you say, is it?"
Bing Li laughed, "But I heard from Nightingale that after you left Yue Shan's residence, you were ambushed by several snipers. One of them even used a heavy sniper rifle, but you managed to headshot him from a hundred meters away with a handgun. Your marksmanship is incredible!"
"I was just lucky."
"Haha, are you free now? I'm waiting for you in Building One Office Building, and I also want to discuss some matters with you."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, knowing what the other party wanted to say.
Upon arriving at Building One Office Building, someone approached him and led him into a conference room.
Bing Li was already seated inside, with a folder in front of him and a cup of coffee by his side.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's arrival, he hurriedly said, "You're here, take a seat."
Jiang Cheng sat down across from him.
Glancing at the folder in front of Bing Li, it seemed to be Jiang Cheng's file.
"Sea of Stars,"
Bing Li smiled, "You did a great job with yesterday's task, especially at the critical moment when you cooperated with Nightingale and killed five snipers with a handgun. Your potential is immense, and the Dawn Society highly regards you. Don't be modest."
It was as if Bing Li had read Jiang Cheng's mind, and he spoke first, "Nightingale mentioned that the idea was yours. If not for you, she might have suffered more than just a minor shoulder injury."
Jiang Cheng let out a bitter laugh.
Since the other party had already said everything, he couldn't very well claim, "Yes, it was all my doing."
"For the next month, focus on cultivation. During this time, unless there's a special task, the Dawn Society won't assign you any missions. After all, strength is fundamental, and only through diligent cultivation can you better complete tasks. However, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you."
"Please, Brother Bing Li."
"I'm aware of what you've been doing in the slums, and you've done a good job. But now that you've joined the Dawn Society, your conduct should be different from before."
"As the saying goes, 'Without rules, there can be no order.' The Dawn Society is an organization, and as an organization, it has its disciplines. Among them, the most important rule is that members can only act after receiving a task and are not allowed to take private actions."
Although Jiang Cheng had anticipated this, he still showed a puzzled expression, "Brother Bing Li, why is that?"
"Haha, the reason is simple."
Bing Li smiled, "If everyone were allowed to act freely, how many people would die in this city every day? Perhaps many of them would be innocent, and we might just be acting on one-sided information. Wouldn't that go against the founding principles of the Dawn Society?
But it's different when the Dawn Society assigns tasks. Before releasing each task, we conduct thorough background investigations on the targets to ensure that they are truly guilty and deserve their fate. Do you understand?"
