"This time, let's prioritize enhancing Basic Power."

Wang Wu pondered, although Life Value has always been an important attribute ranked after Basic Defense, unfortunately, it's nearing the limit.

According to the previous upgrade pattern, before reaching 300 points, each upgrade increases 10 points of Life Value and requires only 20 points of Spiritual Qi.

Before reaching 600 points, each upgrade still increases 10 points of Life Value, but requires 100 points of Spiritual Qi.

Then, before reaching 900 points, each upgrade requires 500 points of Spiritual Qi.

If it exceeds 900 points, each subsequent upgrade will require 2,500 points of Spiritual Qi, and still might only increase 10 points of Life Value.

He doesn't know why it is like this, what the logic behind this is.

But there's no need to understand such matters as bloodline genes.

Next, Wang Wu decisively upgraded Spirit Essence to Level 4, smoothly increasing his Spiritual Qi storage limit to 500 points.

The reason for such decisiveness is because he has already decided that in the future, unless he is sure of complete safety, he won't bask in the sun, won't absorb the golden Spirit Essence.

So naturally, it doesn't really matter what level Spirit Essence is.

To be honest,

with this huge harvest, if relying on the most primitive basking in the sun to absorb the golden Spirit Essence, it might take a hundred years just to gather enough!

Spiritual Qi is important, but not the most important thing; Wang Wu's previous focus on boosting Negative Resistance and wholeheartedly upgrading Basic Defense and Life Value were the basic conditions that allowed him to survive this time.

"Let's just consider the Spirit Essence talent as useless!"

Now that there's a storage limit of 500 points, there are suddenly many options available.

Wang Wu first spent 500 points of Spiritual Qi to boost his Life Value to 870 points.

Then he cheerfully opened the Spiritual Essence Gourd, each time absorbing only enough Spiritual Qi to reach 500 points, then quickly allocating points.

He quickly boosted his Life Value to 900 points.

Next, he added to Physical Strength, again boosting it to 900 points in one go, that was quite extravagant.

But the major investment was in boosting Basic Power, from the original 31 points up to 60 points in one go, absolutely crazy!

By this point, he consumed a total of 25,000 points of Spiritual Qi, if relying on basking in the sun, it would take forever to accumulate.

When developing, a quick step means quick steps thereafter.

Now is the critical moment when the Human Race attempts to take down the Great Snow Mountain, so if you want stable development, you also need the right environment, right?

With 60 points of Basic Power in hand, Wang Wu didn't stop there; he continued with fierce momentum to boost Basic Agility.

Previously, he hadn't had the opportunity or the desire to enhance it, but now that conditions are right, why not use it rather than leave it unused for offspring?

From 36 points, he frantically surged to 60 points, instantly consuming 12,000 points of Spiritual Qi.

This is thrilling!

This is delightful!

Never been this ecstatic.

Especially after boosting Basic Agility to 60, the feeling he got was truly different, not flying, but the coordination, explosiveness, precise control of power all experienced a major boost.

He even thought he could achieve faster speeds with less Physical Strength.

So, from now on, call me Big Mountain Cat?

Hahaha!

After enough joy, Wang Wu continued.

Indeed, with so much Spiritual Qi left in the Spiritual Essence Gourd and unable to be used for offspring, it had to be transformed into combat power right away.

What is the wait for?

Moreover, there are still three attributes that can be upgraded using Spiritual Qi.

Two of them are Plant Affinity and Passive Frost, while the last one is Copper Head Iron Bone.

The Inner Breathing Technique couldn't be upgraded with Spiritual Qi.

But unfortunately, the "+" sign behind Copper Head Iron Bone was dim, meaning the Secret Technique requires at least 2,500 points, or even 5,000 points of Spiritual Qi to upgrade.

So it's unreliable for now.

Fortunately, the first two can be upgraded, requiring 500 points of Spiritual Qi to level up.

Whoosh!

Plant Affinity was upgraded to Level 3.

That's the limit?

Full level?

Wang Wu was slightly surprised; he hadn't thought of this, but after all, it's a Branch Bloodline Talent, reaching Level 3 is quite good.

And the effect is actually quite decent.

It provides 80 points of immunity from plant toxin-related poison damage, and a 100% faster recovery speed from damage caused by plant toxins.

Also, it increases Concealment Effect by 30% when near plants, which is quite good too.

And the final point is especially important, promoting the healthy growth and loyalty of companion plants.

Wang Wu is looking forward to this, in approximately five months, around next spring and summer, the Devil Vine seedling on the back of his Bear Claw will officially awaken.

By then, he'll have an additional trump card.

Next, Wang Wu continued to upgrade Passive Frost consecutively to Level 3, with a minimal cost of 1,000 points of Spiritual Qi, but the effect was truly cost-effective.

[Bloodline Branch Talent: Passive Frost Level 3]

[Talent Effect 1: Maximum 80 points of cold burn immunity, maximum 100% increase in cold burn recovery]

[Talent Effect 2: When possessing 1 point of Ice Spiritual Qi, any attack on enemy targets will add 0.3 points of cold burn damage, without consuming Ice Spiritual Qi. This effect can be stacked up to 200 layers, meaning if one possesses 200 points of Ice Spiritual Qi, it will cause a maximum of 60 points of cold burn damage to the target]

[Talent Effect 3: While training an Ice Spirit Root, the cultivation speed increases by 70%]

——

"For now, there's no more room for upgrades; could I be considered a primary school graduate?"

Wang Wu took a deep breath, glancing over his attribute bar once more. Currently, all kinds of attributes can be described as luxurious.

"With these attributes, if I encounter Hei Youliang again, I might be able to easily take him down; Seventh-Grade Bear Demon should be well-deserved."

Wang Wu nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling once more on the Profound Iron Jar in the center of the array. Over half a month ago, a Grass and Wood Zombie would crawl out every day, but then it stopped moving.

This suggests that Grass and Wood Zombies require continuous cultivation and the constant infusion of Demon King-level Poison.

Now, this plot seems to have been foiled by him.

"Whatever, it's none of my concern; I just want to live."

At this moment, Wang Wu gathered all the belongings of the two Human Race Cultivators, along with all traces and evidence left during this period, and ignited them with a firestarter, burning them to ashes.

What he needed to take with him was packed into a small bundle, containing only three items: the Spiritual Essence Gourd, a sword now in two pieces.

Even the bundle itself was the cloak of that middle-aged cultivator, possessing a natural concealment effect.

At this point, everything was prepared, only departure remained.
