Chapter 18: Second Realm Mystic Realm Tree King Sea

As soon as dawn arrived, Lin Xuan changed into a new set of equipment and prepared to enter the Giant Rock Cave through the door of light.

His plan was to use the door of light in the Giant Rock Cave to go to the Second Realm mystic realm, the Tree King Sea.

The Tree King Sea was also a mystic realm under the complete control of the Germinal Organization. The highest level demon beasts there were only level nine Second Realm.

However, just as he was about to enter the door of light, he saw Lu Luo also rush through the door of light and enter the mystic realm.

She was also going to the Second Realm mystic realm, Tree King Sea.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan reacted. Lu Luo wanted to eat up all the attribute items provided in the Zero Realm, First Realm, Second Realm, and Third Realm mystic realms before she became a First Realm martial artist.

However, currently, there were only three Second Realm martial artists in District C’s wasteland reclaimers. However, it was obvious that their gains during this period of time had not been good. Lu Luo was already unable to endure and planned to take things into her own hands.

A Third Realm martial artist like Lu Luo would still have the same item drop rate when killing ordinary demon beasts in a Second Realm mystic realm. However, the drop rate of obtaining general coins and experience points would be decreased to 1. Moreover, if she challenged a mystic realm king or an experienced mystic realm king, nothing would be dropped.

This was a special rule of the mystic realm. Powerful martial artists were not allowed to stay in relatively weak mystic realms to compete with weak martial artists.

Lin Xuan shrugged. First, he arrived at the Giant Rock Cave with his identity. In an empty place, he changed into Shield Ghost and headed straight for the Tree King Sea.

Second Realm mystic realm, Tree King Sea.

This was a verdant mystic realm. It was divided into nine ring-shaped regions from the outside to the inside, and the danger level increased from one to nine.

Of course, it was not as natural and peaceful as it seemed.

The demon beasts here were called “ferocious trees”. As the name implied, they were all kinds of trees.

If one of them discovered an enemy within a certain range, they would let out a sharp whistle to attract the other ferocious trees.

There was the Artillery Tree that shot out fireballs, the Plasma Tree that released lightning, the Poison Bag Tree that spat out poison, and the Shrouding Frost Tree that had a frost shell.

There were also less dangerous Fruit Trees and Ivy Trees…

All kinds of dangerous trees formed a vast and boundless sea of trees.

“The most important thing about the training avatar is that it can’t die easily. In that case, it’s clearly the most suitable for Shrouding Frost Tree.”

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. After identifying the direction, he began to search for the Shrouding Frost Tree.

Soon, he found a suitable Shrouding Frost Tree.

The latter sensed the aura of a human and immediately pulled out its tree root from the soil. The tree leaf twisted towards Lin Xuan as a large number of tiny ice awls shot over.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The ice awl smashed into Lin Xuan’s body, but not a single drop of blood fell.

Lin Xuan approached as if nothing had happened and raised the Earth Dragon King Hammer to smash it.

Soon, the Shrouding Frost Tree was killed.

At this moment, a voice immediately sounded in his mind.

[Dead target detected, analysis in progress…]

[Shrouding Frost Tree, a level two Second Realm demon beast. Attributes: 41 Constitution, 38 Strength, 16 Agility, 9 Spirit. Skills: Overturning Frost, Ice Awl]

[Cause of death: Violently smashed to death..]

[Currently, you have an extra avatar slot. Do you want to possess Shrouding Frost Tree and make it the third training avatar?]

[Remarks: This dead target will immediately be revived with full health.]

Lin Xuan muttered “yes”.

In an instant, the Shrouding Frost Tree stood up suddenly.

After adjusting his training strategy to “attack and defend at the same time”, Lin Xuan watched as the Shrouding Frost Tree left. Soon, he began fighting with the Artillery Tree not far away.

[Current Area: Tree King Sea First Region (300 general coin per minute, 1,500 experience points per minute)]

[Shrouding Frost Tree has been training for 1 minute. Do you wish to collect?]

Lin Xuan placed his gaze into his consciousness space again.

His current general coins had already exceeded 8 million, but as his equipment level and rune level increased, the cost of enhancements had increased greatly.

“Let’s upgrade the consciousness space to level 4. I wonder what it will unlock? I’m looking forward to it.”

Lin Xuan checked and found that the level 3 consciousness space had been upgraded to level 4. It required 50,000 general coins, and the capacity would become 100 cubic meters.

The level 4 consciousness space needed 500,000 general coins to increase to level 5. After being upgraded, its capacity had increased to 200 cubic meters.

The level 5 consciousness space needed 5 million general coins to increase to level 6. Its capacity would then be increased to 400 cubic meters.

“I’ll upgrade to the level 5 consciousness space first.”

After consuming 550,000 general coins and upgrading his consciousness space from level 3 to level 5 in one go, he discovered that new workstations had appeared in his consciousness space.

The synthesis table could fuse several low-level peerless golden grade skills into high-level peerless golden grade skills. It could also fuse similar sets into stronger sets.

Lin Xuan unlocked the first synthesis table and saw a bright synthesis list.

On the list, two lines lit up.

The first line was “Basic Elemental Resistance = Basic Fire Resistance+Basic Lightning Resistance+Basic Poison Resistance+Basic Ice Resistance.”

A single Basic Fire Resistance could only increase one’s fire resistance by 20%.

On the other hand, Basic Elemental Resistance increased it by 30%.

“Synthesis requires 100,000 general coins… This is starting to get expensive.” Lin Xuan laughed angrily. After all, he had a lot of money and did not lack this bit of money.

He clicked on Synthesis and the four skills left his consciousness space on their own. They turned into points of light and spread out, then quickly gathered together, turning into a new skill book, Basic Elemental Resistance.

The second line of the list was “Giant Shield Set = Steel Shield Set+Fire Shield Set+Thunder Shield Set+Ice Shield Set+Poison Shield Set”.

“You can even synthesize a set? This is even more meaningful!”

Lin Xuan immediately spent 500,000 general coins and clicked on Synthesis.

The five sets flew out of his consciousness space on their own. Just like the previous skills, they quickly scattered and gathered again, forming a new set in the blink of an eye.

Peerless golden grade! Giant Shield Set!

Effect 1: Physical resistance increases by 50%, resistance to all elements increases by 60%.

Effect 2: You are immune to fatal damage. To save your life, the set will shatter.

The two effects were simple but ridiculously powerful.

“Although the previous Fire Shield Set has increased fire resistance by 60%, all the other elemental resistances were negative. On the other hand, this set is very good. Its resistance to all elements is 60%!”

“As for this immunity to fatal damage, I don’t really need it. After all, when I fight demon beasts, my health doesn’t drop much. However, I might be able to use it in the future.”

Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction and placed the Giant Shield back into his consciousness.

In the future, the Giant Shield Set and the Overlord Set would be his two most frequently used sets.

“There’s also a medicinal table. I should be able to make medicinal potions with this, right?”

Lin Xuan took a look and immediately saw a dense array of medicinal formulas.

“Primary Agility Potion, 1 serving of Black Scaled Snake Gall and 3 servings of rare water.”

“Primary Strength Potion, 1 serving of Bullhorn, 3 servings of rare water.”

“…”

“Primary Fire Wound Medicine, 1 Flame Flower, 3 rare water.”

He nodded slightly.

These potions were consumable items and could provide a large number of attributes and status enhancements for a short period of time. They were also quite useful.

“I remember unlocking something else…”

Lin Xuan searched again and indeed, he found it.

He could now use general coins to strengthen the smelting table, forging table, synthesis table, and medicinal table.

These workstations were all at level 1. After consuming 100,000 General Coins to upgrade to level 2, their efficiency would increase by 20%.

After consuming 1 million general coins to upgrade to level 3, the work productivity will increase by 40%.

After consuming 10 million general coins to upgrade to level 4, the work efficiency will increase by 100%, and there will be an additional 10% chance of smelting, forging, and synthesizing high grade items.

Lin Xuan looked at the declining number of his balance and smiled helplessly. “I once thought that my wealth was comparable to a country. I didn’t expect to immediately spend all the money I have in my consciousness space.”
