My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Action

’Ten million experience points... this is an absolutely explosive amount of EXP. If I took a dozen of these, I’d definitely level up instantly...’

Yi Tianyun was utterly shocked, his heart racing. He finally understood what *real* experience gain was. Some things just offered an explosive boost in EXP, just like how some seemingly weak Demon Beasts could drop top-tier equipment after being killed.

This Soul-Nourishing Pill was the ultimate reward, providing a full ten million experience points. He currently needed 140 million EXP to level up, meaning he would only need to consume fourteen pills. However, the Soul-Nourishing Grass was incredibly rare. Ye Qingxuan had mentioned it before; it was an extremely scarce resource throughout the entire Celestial Realm Continent, and its price was sky-high.

’Right, I almost forgot. Let’s see how much it costs in the Shop!’

Yi Tianyun excitedly opened the Shop. The price that greeted him was explosive indeed: one million Madness Value. He silently closed the Shop interface. As expected, this damn Shop was a total scam; it would never offer anything at a reasonable price.

Expecting it to offer anything cheap and high-quality was just wishful thinking!

’Oh well, I’ll have to get the Star Pavilion to help me collect more of these later.’ Yi Tianyun shook his head helplessly. It was a shame, but he wasn’t going to give up on the Soul-Nourishing Pill.

Ten million experience points—how many Demon Beasts or Core Formation experts would he have to kill to earn that much? Therefore, no matter how high the cost, he had to acquire it!

He then consumed the remaining two pills, immediately gaining twenty million experience points. The feeling was incredibly refreshing. ’If I had a few hundred of these,’ he thought, ’that would be truly explosive.’

After taking them, he pondered for a moment, looking at the Soul-Nourishing Grass in his hand. ’I wonder what will happen if I try the Fourth Refining this time?’

The Fourth Refining would drastically increase the difficulty, causing the success rate to plummet. When he selected the Fourth Refining option, he saw the success rate drop from eighty percent all the way down to forty percent!

’That success rate is a bit low.’ This was with the combined effects of the Purple Fire Divine Furnace, his luck stat, and the Immortal Fire, yet it only reached a forty percent chance of success. It was just too low.

The legendary Ninth Refining Elixir was said to be on the level of a Divine Pill.

’I guess I’ll have to try using the Luck Aura...’

Yi Tianyun instantly activated his Luck Aura. The success rate immediately shot up to seventy percent. It had only increased by thirty percent; this was probably the limit of the boost.

’A seventy percent success rate? I’ll take that bet!’

Yi Tianyun felt this success rate was acceptable. He immediately deactivated the Luck Aura and quickly began the refining process. He only needed to activate the Luck Aura at the very end; leaving it on the whole time was a cost he really couldn’t afford.

He swiftly began, reactivating the Crazy Alchemy Mode to refine the ingredients. Just as he was about to begin the Solidifying Pill stage, he turned on the Luck Aura. ’Whether this succeeds or not all comes down to this moment!’

"Ding! Successfully refined a Soul-Nourishing Pill. Gained 600,000 experience points and 600 Proficient Mastery points in Alchemy!"

’Tsk tsk, not bad. The Fourth Refining also increases the experience and Skill Level gained...’ Yi Tianyun was very satisfied. If he could refine a Ninth Refining Elixir, the experience gained would also be explosive, but the difficulty was just too terrifying.

He poured the Soul-Nourishing Pill into his hand. Its surface had an even stronger luster. Without hesitation, he popped it into his mouth, and the experience points instantly exploded!

"Ding! Successfully consumed a Soul-Nourishing Pill. Gained 15,000,000 experience points!"

’Just by increasing it by one refinement level, it added five million experience points...’

Yi Tianyun felt as if he had eaten a bomb that had just detonated in his mouth—a full fifteen million experience points. What about Fifth Refining or higher? What about Ninth Refining? He couldn’t even imagine what level of experience that would yield. But one thing was certain: the experience wouldn’t just stack by five million each time. That would be too boring.

He steadied his mind and then consumed all the remaining pills. A pleasant notification sound followed.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the fourth layer of the Core Formation Stage!"

He had finally leveled up again. The speed was incredible. If not for the Soul-Nourishing Pills, he wouldn’t have been able to break through so quickly.

’It’s a shame they’re all gone, or I could have gained even more experience.’ Yi Tianyun nodded. The experience he gained from killing monsters was still decent, but it was nothing compared to a single Soul-Nourishing Pill.

This was exactly the type of Experience Pill he had been looking for—and an explosive one at that!

As he took a moment to compose himself, a figure appeared in the doorway. Ye Qingxuan had finished her business and had come to find him.

"You’ve finished your Alchemy?" Ye Qingxuan asked, seeing him sitting there quietly.

"Yep, I’ve already eaten them all," Yi Tianyun said with a smile. "Let’s go. We can set off now. Are you ready?"

"I’m ready. We can leave anytime." Ye Qingxuan’s expression was grave. The place they were heading to was extremely dangerous; there was a slim chance of survival.

If they ran into General Long, how would they escape? Others might not know how, but Yi Tianyun knew exactly what he would do: a single Instant Teleportation and he’d be gone. However, Instant Teleportation wasn’t omnipotent. He could only teleport to a location within the range of his Spiritual Sense, and only if there were no obstructions. If he couldn’t scan the area, he couldn’t teleport there.

Besides, if he couldn’t scan an area, he wouldn’t dare teleport there randomly. If there was a trap inside, he’d just be throwing himself into a pit.

"Alright then, let’s head out now!"

Yi Tianyun nodded and walked out with Ye Qingxuan. As they were about to leave the forest, they found Ye Wan’Er waiting for them at the entrance.

"Sister! Yi! You have to come back safely!" Ye Wan’Er threw herself into her sister’s arms. They had both been so busy lately that the two sisters rarely had time to spend together.

"Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon," Yi Tianyun said with a smile. To him, this mission wasn’t a big deal; the sisters were just imagining it to be more dangerous than it was.

"That’s right, Wan’Er. I’m sure things will go smoothly this time. Wait for us to come back," Ye Qingxuan said comfortingly, hugging her.

"Okay..."

After saying their goodbyes, they left. They didn’t ride a Giant Eagle; instead, Yi Tianyun simply flew, carrying Ye Qingxuan with him. Ye Qingxuan’s cultivation had not yet broken through to the Core Formation Stage, so she still relied on Yi Tianyun to fly.

"We have to succeed this time!" Ye Qingxuan’s silver eyes were filled with determination.

"I already told you, as long as I’m here, you don’t have to worry." Yi Tianyun smiled confidently. ’If you don’t even have this much confidence, how can you ever become strong!’

Ye Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him but then broke into a radiant smile, saying nothing more.
