Chapter 393: First Rank Grandmaster
Chapter 393: First Rank Grandmaster
December 1st, 2024
Inside the room, Jiang Cheng tightly closed his eyes, and the Essence Energy points within his body were being refined at an astonishing speed.
As the last acupoint was broken through, the Essence Energy points within a radius of several meters around his body went crazy, being absorbed into his body.
After a long while, everything finally calmed down.
Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.
Finally, he had broken through to the First Rank Grandmaster.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented surge of power.
And it was true.
In terms of strength, a First Rank Force Grandmaster was ten times stronger than a Tenth Rank Force Warrior! With a full-power punch, the minimum force generated was a thousand tons, comparable to the kinetic energy of a 120mm cannon shell. A punch to the ground could create a crater three meters wide and nearly a meter deep.
At this level, thermal weapons below the 120mm cannon were no longer a significant threat to a First Rank Grandmaster.
Only weapons like the 150mm cannon or regular supersonic missiles could pose a threat, but even then, a First Rank Grandmaster could easily dodge them if their numbers were limited. After all, the speed of a First Rank Grandmaster had already reached 200 meters per second.
Only hypersonic missiles or laser cannons could hit their mark.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and looked out the window towards the direction of the outer district.
If possible, he really wanted to go out and eliminate Bing Li and the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau right now.
Unfortunately, if he were to leave, it would undoubtedly attract Gu Changlin's attention, and doing so would also create complications for his later plan to leave with his family.
A small misstep could ruin a great plan, so it was best to refrain from acting rashly for now.
"Let's see how long it will take to reach the Second Rank Grandmaster."
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, then opened them a moment later and looked at the interface.
After reaching the initial stage of the Invisible Heart Sutra, the time required to achieve proficiency was more than ten times what it had been before! Previously, he had spent nearly two months to break through to the First Rank Grandmaster, but now, to advance from the First Rank to the Second Rank Grandmaster, it would take over ten months.
This caused him to gasp in surprise.
However, upon reflection, it made sense.
After all, the power of a Second Rank Grandmaster was also ten times that of a First Rank Grandmaster, so the difficulty naturally increased accordingly.
For the vast majority of people, being able to break through to the Second Rank Grandmaster in ten months was already a tremendous blessing.
Many couldn't even reach the threshold of Grandmaster, let alone advance further.
"If I had more Psychic Energy, this time could be shortened significantly."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
Having opened the last few acupoints and becoming a Grandmaster, his body could now accommodate twenty million Essence Energy points.
If he were a Tenth Rank Mind Master, he could actively absorb fifteen to sixteen million Essence Energy points at once, which meant he could reduce the ten-month timeframe to six months.
If he absorbed twice a day, that would be an additional thirty million Essence Energy points daily, shortening the ten-month period to just four months.
Four months to advance from the First Rank to the Second Rank Grandmaster—if this news got out, it would shock the entire planet.
"Unfortunately, I'm only a Fifth Rank Mind Master."
Jiang Cheng forced a bitter smile.
A Fifth Rank Mind Master could only actively absorb five hundred thousand Essence Energy points at a time, amounting to just one million points per day. This was a mere drop in the ocean compared to the vast amount needed to advance from the First Rank to the Second Rank.
"Unless there's a treasure that can enhance Psychic Energy recovery?"
He suddenly remembered Gao Ling's words from earlier.
If such a treasure existed, it could dramatically increase his Psychic Energy recovery, allowing him to recover ten or more times a day, which would be extremely beneficial.
After all, if you calculate by one million essence energy light points per day, it could save a third of the time.
Of course, according to Gao Ling's explanation, the higher the rank of the treasure, the better it is not necessarily for the user, as it also means a higher usage difficulty.
However, with the Interface at his disposal, it was useful not only during cultivation but also when using treasures.
For example, when he used the defensive treasure given by Gu Changkong, each use would add some experience points. However, defensive treasures were somewhat special; being more or less proficient didn't make much of a difference as long as it was activated in time and the primal energy crystal inside was sufficient.
Offensive treasures, on the other hand, required a high level of proficiency from the user. The same treasure could produce vastly different effects in different hands.
The same principle applied to treasures for restoring psychic energy.
"I wonder what kind of treasure Gao Ling will bring me tomorrow."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
Of course, he was also prepared to pay the price.
After all, Gu Changlin wasn't someone who would suffer a loss, and Jiang Cheng didn't intend to stay here for life.
The night passed.
The next morning, as Jiang Cheng arrived at the Alchemy Chamber and was about to start preparations, Gao Ling's voice came from outside the door.
After getting Jiang Cheng's response, Gao Ling walked in with a radiant face.
"Little Brother Jiang, after i returned yesterday, i inquired on your behalf, and changlin agreed to your request. more than that, he's willing to give you two choices."
"Two choices?"
Jiang Cheng's face showed curiosity.
"Yes, the first choice is to lend you a Moonlight Jade Pendant, a Fourth Rank Low-grade treasure worth two hundred million. With your ability, you should be able to repay it within a month. However, you'll need to refine an additional furnace of Awakening Spirit Pill each day. With this treasure, your psychic energy recovery speed will double, and refining an extra furnace each day shouldn't be a problem for you. Once you get more proficient, the recovery speed could increase several times more, making it feasible for you to refine five furnaces a day, or even more."
Gao Ling chuckled, inwardly envying Jiang Cheng a bit.
Back when he hadn't reached the Grandmaster level, he used Third Rank psychic energy recovery treasures, unlike Jiang Cheng who could directly use a Grandmaster-level one.
Jiang Cheng nodded after hearing this.
A Moonlight Jade Pendant suitable for a First Rank Spirit Master would certainly be more than enough for a Fifth Rank Mind Master. A First Rank Spirit Master's psychic energy is nearly 50 times that of a Fifth Rank Mind Master, meaning theoretically, this Jade pendant could increase his psychic energy recovery speed by nearly 50 times!
However, he was even more curious about the other choice.
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's inquiry, Gao Ling's smile grew even wider.
"The other choice is to lend you a Fifth Rank Low-grade treasure named Green Jade Coiling Dragon. It's specifically for Fourth Rank and above Grandmasters. You might not know, but treasures at this level are not like the Third or Fourth Rank treasures you can buy off the shelf. These are rare and require a significant investment to have a Master Artisan forge it specifically. Take this Green Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, for instance, is one of the few treasures the Ancient Family keeps in reserve. It's worth a billion, and even if you had that much money, it would be hard to buy one immediately, at least not without waiting in line for several months. You understand what I mean, right?"
