Chapter 284 Everything is ready, just waiting for the BOSS
(Ah, this…?)

Xiao Jie looked at the skill introductions of the three Qi Refining Secret Techniques and felt speechless.

It actually requires Qi Refining Technique levels to unlock... Out of the three new skills, only one can be used immediately, and the other two will have to be discussed later.

Fortunately, the effects of these three skills are still very powerful, and I made a good choice.

Qi Exhaustion Technique is specifically aimed at physical professions. It increases the consumption of physical strength by 300%. Xiao Jie's current physical strength is more than . It seems like a lot, but there are many places that consume physical strength. Releasing a combat skill consumes about to percent of physical strength, and performing a body movement requires about to percent of physical strength. Running, jumping, attacking, etc. will all consume physical strength.

Therefore, this physical strength value of more than 1,600 is just okay.

Of course, physical strength will recover automatically and slowly, so if the battle is not particularly intense, you can keep your physical strength sufficient by resting while fighting.

If you fight continuously without using skills, you will need to take medicine to replenish your energy.

However, once the physical strength consumption is increased by 300%, it becomes four times the consumption. Any combat skill will require more than physical strength. With physical strength, only a dozen combat skills will be gone.

This skill is absolutely a magical skill when used in a one-on-one duel with other players. It can wear down the opponent to death. It may not seem very threatening at first glance, but once the battle is prolonged and the enemy finds that his physical strength cannot keep up, he will be close to death.

It is like a soft knife cutting flesh and killing the enemy without being seen.

However, I don't know if it will be useful when fighting the BOSS. After all, the BOSS's health is several times or even dozens of times that of the player, and its stamina is unknown. It may not be so easy to drain the BOSS's stamina.

The effect of the Decay Spell is equally outrageous, and can even be said to be extremely off the mark. What does a 50% reduction in all basic attributes mean? That is equivalent to directly halving the strength.

The only pity is that there is a decay effect, which means that the enemy hit by the decay spell will continue to recover its strength, and once delayed for a while, it will return to normal.

Moreover, this skill has a long cooldown time, unlike the Qi Exhaustion Technique which can be used at will.

It is suitable to use it when you are using a big move to kill the enemy, and take advantage of the moment when the enemy's attributes are halved.

This skill is also aimed at the physical department. If all attributes of the physical department are halved, they are basically useless. With your own strength, you can kill them easily.

It seems that this game is really not friendly to the physics department.

The last one, the Heavenly Tribulation Technique, is even more outrageously powerful.

Alas, heavenly calamity, just listening to it makes me feel overwhelmed.

However, Xiao Jie couldn't really say how powerful this heavenly tribulation was. But judging from the amount of spiritual energy consumed by this skill and the additional merit required, it was definitely not small.

"Speaking of which, Brother Ying, do you know what a heavenly tribulation is?"

Ying Baiyu said: "Of course I know that there are people in this world who have committed many evil deeds and have angered the gods and the people, or people who have done things that go against the will of heaven, which will bring about heavenly calamity.

For example, if a monster wants to cultivate to become an immortal or transform into a dragon, they must go through a heavenly tribulation, and that’s the case.”

Xiao Jie thought that it seemed that natural disasters were quite common in this world.

"Oh, then what is the survival rate of experiencing a catastrophe?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on the person. If it's a powerful demon king, there's always a 30% to 40% chance that he can survive the first heavenly tribulation. But this is only the first time. The more heavenly tribulations there are, the stronger they become. It's said that if you can survive three heavenly tribulations, you can become an immortal. But throughout history, there are only a handful of people who can do that. Most demons will be reduced to ashes if they attract a heavenly tribulation.

If an ordinary evil person were to encounter a heavenly calamity, he would most likely die.”

So cool! Xiao Jie thought that this Heaven Tribulation Technique was really powerful.

I will wait until my Qi Refining Technique reaches the seventh level and unlocks the Heavenly Tribulation Technique, and I will give Liu Qiang a taste of it.

The only problem is that the requirements for this seventh-level Qi Refining Technique are a bit exaggerated. I don’t know what level the Golden Elixir is. If the seventh level is the Golden Elixir, that would be troublesome.

Fortunately, there is someone who knows what I am talking about right in front of me.

"Senior, do you know what the ten levels of Qi Refining Technique are? What are their effects?"

The ancient spirit smiled with emotion, "No one from the Xuanming Mountain lineage has ever cultivated to become an immortal, so naturally no one can practice Qi Refining to perfection at the tenth level, but I can tell you about the first few levels.

As for the last two levels, I have only heard of their names but don’t know what’s so magical about them.

First level: Eat wind and drink dew. Second level: Invulnerable to cold and heat. Third level: Invulnerable to all poisons. Fourth level: Invulnerable to swords and spears.

The fifth level: immortality. The sixth level: tiger body and dragon form. The seventh level: warding off gods and ghosts. The eighth level: the golden elixir is perfected.

The ninth level: transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint. The tenth level: ascending to become an immortal.

As for the last two levels, I don't know. Little brother, which level have you reached?"

"It's only the fourth level."

The Ancient Spirit was surprised and said, "It is rare, but the more advanced the Qi Refining Technique is, the more spiritual energy is needed. Judging from the current situation in the world, it may be difficult to improve in the future. You should take care of yourself."

Ying Baiyu on the side said in surprise: "I didn't expect Qi Refining Technique to be so difficult to practice."

The ancient spirit did not take it seriously. “Refining Qi and cultivating immortality is to go against the will of heaven and to fight for a chance. If it were easy, wouldn’t everyone want to become an immortal? There are dozens of people in our Xuanming Mountain lineage who refine Qi, but only a few can finally achieve the golden elixir, and no one can become an immortal.

Such a heaven-defying thing is not that easy."

Xiao Jie deeply agreed with this. Although the skill system of the Qi Refiner was a bit crude and the skills had huge side effects, the ability to become an immortal was completely worth it, not to mention the ten powerful passive talents.

I didn't expect that the fifth level could lead to immortality... If it weren't for the fact that the realm would drop, practicing to the fifth level would actually be good enough. In reality, if I survived for thousands of years, with the speed of technological development, I might be able to get a brain-computer interface and mechanical ascension.

Unfortunately, this so-called immortality is ultimately just an illusion. Without spiritual energy, one’s realm will fall sooner or later and one will turn back into a mortal.

It can be seen that in the path of cultivating immortals, if you don’t make progress, you will regress.

The sixth level is a tiger body and a dragon shape. I don’t know what the effect is...but it sounds very cool.

"Senior, have you mastered the tiger body and dragon form?"

The ancient spirit said: "Naturally, after practicing, one will have a tiger body and a dragon shape, with iron bones and strong tendons. One can leap over the dragon abyss and traverse the mountains and forests. One's body is incomparably strong, far beyond that of ordinary people. One can easily break monuments and split rocks, and climb mountains and cross ridges for days without getting tired. One can be said to have a physique as strong as a dragon and a tiger."

Xiao Jie immediately understood - it turned out to increase basic attributes.

"Then what about this God and Ghost Yi Pi?"

"Gods and ghosts can also be warded off - ghosts and gods cannot take away my energy, and evil spirits cannot get close to me. Although I am a mortal, I can resist even the spells of gods and ghosts."

That is to increase spell resistance.

Xiao Jie integrated these talent effects and suddenly realized that the tenth level of Qi Refining Technique was almost all about strengthening the body and adding various passive effects. It seemed that this was the process of becoming an immortal.

From the outside to the inside, the blood, bones, skin, internal organs, and even the essence, energy and spirit are all transformed, and finally the golden elixir is refined, and finally one can achieve immortality.

When all ten BUFFs are added, you will naturally be no different from an immortal. No, there must be a special realm at the end. Immortals are not afraid of falling in realm. In other words, the last step of ascending to immortality is the most different. It will turn decay into magic, directly evolve into a special existence beyond mortals.

Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.

But then he thought again and felt a sense of powerlessness. The first four levels of Qi refining had consumed more than a dozen monster inner cores. He had put a lot of effort into these inner cores. The spiritual energy required for the next six levels would increase exponentially.

5000+6000+7000+8000+9000+10000=45000点。

With so much spiritual energy, how many inner pills would be needed to fully cultivate it? This does not include the spiritual energy that is consumed and dissipated every day. The higher the level of Qi Refining Technique, the more spiritual energy is dissipated every day. In addition, there is also the spiritual energy that will be consumed when using skills in battle in the future...

My scalp tingles just thinking about it.

But you have to practice no matter how difficult it is. The ancient spirits are right. If becoming an immortal is really that easy, it wouldn't be so rare.

The ancient spirit seemed to have noticed something and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, little friend? Are you discouraged?"

"Haha, of course not. Although the road ahead is long and arduous, I have never given up hope. I have determined to become an immortal. Even if there are a thousand difficulties, I will fight for this ray of hope. Senior, I will take my leave now. Thank you for teaching me the secret technique. If I can become an immortal in the future, I will definitely reward you generously."

The ancient spirit smiled and shook his head, obviously not taking it seriously. He probably had given up hope long ago.

Xiao Jie called Ying Baiyu out of the cave. As for the black stone tablet, they could only come back to study it later.

The bird and the man flew back to the Soul-Breaking Forest, and Xiao Jie asked Ying Baiyu to release him outside the forest.

"Thank you very much today, Brother Ying. With this secret technique, I think I can achieve twice the result with half the effort. I will bring people here tomorrow morning, and then we can capture the envoy of the Monster Star Tower in one fell swoop. Brother Ying will naturally be able to return to his post, and even make further progress."

"I have no hope of being promoted to a higher position, but being able to return to the court is already a great honor. See you tomorrow."

Xiao Jie thought of something else, "By the way, what about those monsters in the Broken Soul Forest? Has Brother Ying made any arrangements?"

Ying Baiyu said proudly: "Little brother, don't worry. Those unruly ones have been eliminated. The remaining ones are just cowards. I can easily control them. When the time comes to fight with the messenger of the Monster Star Tower, these monsters can also lend a hand to me."

Xiao Jie thought that was a good idea. By recruiting a BOSS, he could also get a group of small monsters. Together with the players like them, they could beat up the messenger of the Demon Star Tower. How could you lose?
"That would be perfect."

After returning to Giant Wood City, Xiao Jie immediately gathered everyone together.

Everyone had returned long ago and asked immediately when they saw Xiao Jie.

"How is it, is the professional mission going well?"

"It's OK, but unfortunately none of the skills given can be used except for one. But it doesn't matter. We have the BOSS and the monsters here, plus our people, beating up the BOSS is like a piece of cake."

Xiao Jie recounted Ying Baiyu's situation, and everyone became confident after hearing it.

We have won before when we used the minority against the majority, but this time we use the majority to bully the minority, so it would be unfair if we don’t win.

As long as you can kill this powerful BOSS, the benefits will be huge, and you might even get purple equipment.

But Fondant Steamed Cake suddenly said: "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the Emissary of the Demon Star Tower is a BOSS of over 40 levels."

Every time a monster's level increases by 10 levels, its strength will increase dramatically. The strength of a level 40 BOSS is beyond the team's ability to withstand. It's not that it is completely impossible to defeat it, but in that case, victory or defeat can only be determined by fighting hard.

As for a death game like Old Earth, the less you try to fight to the death, the better.

The Drunken Swordsman said angrily, "Damn it, Fagao, please stop being such a pessimist. It won't be that serious."

Hao Mie also said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be that serious. Judging from the mission description, I tend to think it will be a BOSS over level 30. Although there are certain risks, with our strength and the help of the BOSS, the chances of winning are still very high. The risk is within a controllable range."

Xiao Jie thought that this fellow thought a great deal, and he made the same judgment.

"But we still need to make more preparations. If we win this battle, we can eat a lot of meat. If we lose... Fortunately, we have allies this time. If we really can't win, we can let the boss hold the opponent back and we can run away. After all, our lives are more important."

Haomie said: "That's right, so don't save money on life-saving props and auxiliary talismans, spend the money where it counts."

An Ran hesitated and asked, "Should we arrange the tactics first?"

Hao Mie said: "The BOSS's ability is unknown, so it's hard to make arrangements, but there are some basic principles that can be determined. First, the Monster Star Tower messenger can fly, that's for sure. Second, the Monster Star Tower messenger has subordinates to help him, which means there will be monsters.

Therefore, the first priority is to pull the BOSS to the ground after the battle begins. Otherwise, you will be dumbfounded if you can’t defeat the BOSS and it just runs away.”

Fondant Cake said: "I have a skill called 'Trapping Beasts' that can hold the BOSS for a while, but it might be a little difficult to pull it to the ground."

"Let me do it." Zishan suddenly said, "I have a spell that can knock things down from the sky, but it takes a long time to cast."

Xiao Jie smiled and said, "I also have a skill that can prevent it from flying after it lands."

An Ran laughed and said, "Haha, isn't that the plan? When the time comes, the fondant cake will trap the BOSS, and the purple-clothed girl will cast a spell to knock the BOSS down. The wind will stop it from flying, and the BOSS that has fallen to the ground can be easily dealt with."

Haomie said: "That's settled then. Someone will need to hold back the BOSS while the others quickly kill the monsters, and then we'll all beat up the BOSS together..."

After some discussion, everyone quickly worked out several alternative plans for different possible situations, and finally finalized the action plan.

The next morning, everyone arrived outside the Soul-Breaking Forest early.

The group of eight was fully armed to the teeth, with their backpacks filled with all kinds of props.

Xiao Jie glanced at everyone and found that I had bought another shield in order to become an immortal. There was a dragon-shaped pattern carved on the huge dark gold shield, which was gorgeous and domineering.

“Where did you buy it from?”

"It cost me more than one hundred taels at the auction!" I am confident in becoming an immortal. This [Longhua Empire Barrier] is a top-grade equipment with a durability of up to 3000 points. It's just a little heavy, but he has the expertise of Thousand Jin Divine Strength, so it's effortless for him to lift it.

With a large shield in one hand and a huge axe in the other, and wearing heavy infantry armor, he looks very domineering.

"Brother Feng, I feel like I can play in the front row." I said eagerly.

Xiao Jie pondered for a moment, "Okay, let's go back and see the BOSS's strength. If it's about the same, you can go ahead. We have a nurse, so we can be a little more reckless."

Not only were everyone fully armed, but all the babies were also pulled out, and not a single one that could be summoned was left.

Xiao Jie's big orange, the crow made of fondant cake, An Ran's giant eagle, and even Ye Luo summoned a zombie crow, which was the crow spirit that was killed yesterday.

Everyone was ready, and the next step was to wait for the strange bird to appear.
