No hope for eternal life

Chapter 342: Top-quality Spiritual Stones Required for Overcoming the Tribulation

Outside the illusion, everyone can clearly see the competition scenes of various realms in the illusion. The late stage of the Spirit Transformation, where Mu Changsheng is, ended relatively quickly, so he could see many competitions of other cultivators.

Among them, You Jiuming is participating in the competition for the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Judging from the strength shown by his opponent, You Jiuming has a great chance of winning.

In addition to Mu Xun, Lin Yu also participates in the competition in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Mu Changsheng came to his parents in the audience, and Yang Wuque was also there. He was obviously eliminated in advance. Compared with the peak-level cultivators of the Incarnation Realm cultivated by big families like the You Clan, Yang Wuque could only rely on a body that barely reached the level of the Crossing Tribulation Realm, which was a huge disadvantage.

"Changsheng, you are awesome." Chen Wanru said excitedly. She felt very proud to see her son shine in the prestigious You clan competition.

Although Mu Yanggu did not say anything, he also gave Mu Changsheng an approving look. In just over ten years, Mu Changsheng had grown so much, which made him extremely pleased.

……

After several more hours, the martial arts competition came to an end, and the corresponding first place winners were decided in the eighteen realm sub-venues.

Among them, You Jiuming won the championship in the peak stage of Spirit Transformation as expected, Lin Yu won the championship in the middle stage of Spirit Transformation, and Mu Xunxi won the second place.

In the early stage of the tribulation, Ruan Xiong, who had just entered the tribulation realm, won the championship. It was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable. Ruan Xiong's strength had already been proven in the competition between humans and demons.

It is worth mentioning that You Poling also participated in this competition of the Eight Realms of Divine Power on behalf of Lingshan Sect, and successively defeated three veteran Eighth Realm cultivators, You Dongchang, You Menglian, You Hunluo, and won the first place.

Of course, the main reason You Poling was able to get the first place in the Eight Realms was because You Wushuang did not participate in the competition.

It is said that You Wushuang has always lived in seclusion and rarely shows up, and he has never participated in this martial arts competition.

The martial arts competition was about to end. You Dongchang, the great elder of the You clan, appeared again and concluded: "This martial arts competition has 18 divisions and 18 champions, nine of whom are from Tianling Sect, Lingshan Sect and the Ji clan. I tell you this to let you know that there are always people better than you. Don't think that you can rest easy just because you are named You."

"In today's world, the demonic plague has not been eradicated, and the monster plague has arisen again. The real enemy has always been unscrupulous and will not give you any fairness or rules. What we cultivators need to do and can do is to be ready to meet all challenges at any time!"

"Meet all challenges." Mu Changsheng clenched his fists and asked himself whether he was really ready to meet all challenges?

Afterwards, the You Clan's martial arts competition came to an end, and the crowd gradually dispersed. After Mu Changsheng said goodbye to his parents and others, he went straight to the Tianbao Palace.

Mu Changsheng has already figured out how to spend the newly acquired 50,000 You Clan contribution points. His cultivation is now not far from the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he needs to prepare for the tribulation breakthrough.

Unlike the previous breakthroughs to a higher realm which required the preparation of various spiritual objects, the preparations for overcoming the tribulation were actually very simple, with only one necessity - a top-grade spiritual stone.

It is said that when resisting the thunder tribulation, the cultivator's divine power will be consumed very quickly, and the recovery speed of ordinary spirit stones cannot keep up at all. Only the best spirit stones can keep up with the speed of consumption during the tribulation. In addition, the cultivator's cultivation will also transform rapidly under the thunder tribulation, and only the best spirit stones can keep up with the speed of transformation.

In addition to breaking through to the initial stage of tribulation, which requires a large amount of top-grade spirit stones, there is also one tribulation per step above the tribulation realm. As the realm improves, the number of top-grade spirit stones consumed will become larger and larger.

It is precisely because of these reasons that top-grade spirit stones are so precious. The exchange ratio with high-grade spirit stones reaches one to several hundred, and any excess is a premium.

For a cultivator who is undergoing tribulation, he may die even if he has top-grade spirit stones, but he will definitely die without top-grade spirit stones!

Therefore, the top-grade spirit stones can be directly linked to the life of a cultivator.

According to the experience gained over the years, the number of top-grade spirit stones consumed by a peak-level Jindan cultivator to overcome tribulation would fluctuate around 10,000.

Mu Changsheng's original body and the white-clothed clone have synchronized cultivation and both need to break through, so at least 20,000 top-grade spirit stones are needed.

Fifty thousand You Clan contribution points can be exchanged for twenty-five thousand top-grade spirit stones. Therefore, Mu Changsheng's purpose of going to Tianbao Palace is to exchange all fifty thousand contribution points for top-grade spirit stones.

Perhaps because the martial arts competition had just ended and many cultivators had received new contribution points, a long line formed outside the Tianbao Palace.

After waiting in line for half an hour, it was finally Mu Changsheng's turn. Mu Changsheng presented the newly acquired 50,000 You Clan contribution coins and said respectfully: "Elder, I want to exchange all of them for top-grade spirit stones."

Ghost Luo's consciousness scanned the contribution value presented by Mu Changsheng, and said in a friendly manner: "My friend, you don't know that the production of top-grade spirit stones in our Tianyou Realm is naturally far less than that of the Tianling Realm, so there is a limit on top-grade spirit stones. Each person can only exchange a maximum of 10,000 top-grade spirit stones every ten years."

"I see." Mu Changsheng nodded to show his understanding. After all, the You Clan is not the Tianling Sect, and the two major sects combined have less than 500 disciples. No matter how many top-grade spirit stones they consume, it won't be much. And with the support of the Tianling Realm, the richest in the Nine Realms, they can naturally afford it. However, the You Clan has hundreds of millions of people, so no matter how many top-grade spirit stones they have, they can't be distributed equally. They can only limit the amount of exchange by limiting the amount.

"My friend, you can first exchange 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, and the rest for upper-grade spirit stones. Then you can go back to the sect and exchange the upper-grade spirit stones for top-grade spirit stones." Ghost Luo suggested considerately.

"Since we have to go back to the sect, Elder, please exchange all the 50,000 contribution points for high-quality spirit stones for me, so that I don't have to take up the share of top-quality spirit stones." Mu Changsheng said directly.

"Good." Ghost Luo nodded with a smile, collected the contribution points, and gave Mu Changsheng 12.5 million high-grade spirit stones. From this it seems that the ratio of the Ghost Clan's top-grade spirit stones to high-grade spirit stones is the same as that of the sect, which is also one to five hundred.

"Thank you, Elder." Mu Changsheng accepted the spirit stone, said goodbye and left.

After Mu Changsheng left, Youhun Luo's eyes flickered. In fact, for such a matter, he could have just given Mu Changsheng the 25,000 top-grade spirit stones. He could then ask Tianling Sect to "reimburse" him for the extra 15,000 top-grade spirit stones, and Mu Changsheng would not have to make that trip at all.

To give or not to give is entirely up to Ghost Luo's thoughts, and no one can find any fault with it.

"You shouldn't, you shouldn't, ever, get so close to the demons." Ghost Luo thought to himself. He had long been brooding over the fact that Mu Changsheng accepted Yi Qianhuan's contribution points. Now that Mu Changsheng won first place in the Ghost Clan's martial arts competition, he felt a little wary of Mu Changsheng. Although he wouldn't kill him for that, he would be happy to cause some trouble for Mu Changsheng.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng, who walked out of the Tianbao Palace, frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that Youhun Luo's attitude towards him had changed, but 12.5 million high-grade spirit stones were not a small amount, so he couldn't get angry.

"It can only be because of the 5,000 contribution points from Yi Qianhuan." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart and guessed the reason. He once used the 5,000 sect contribution points from Yi Qianhuan to buy 50 Fallen Blood Pearls in Tianbao Palace. He thought it was just a trivial matter. Now it seems that he underestimated the human heart.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng brought the spirit stone back to the castle and gave it to his black-clothed clone, intending to let the black-clothed clone run this errand, while his original body and the white-clothed clone would remain in the You Clan to practice.

After the black-clothed clone went out, he did not rush to leave the You Clan, but went to the Mission Hall first under the guidance of Mu Changsheng.
