138: Add points again, the increase is outrageous!

Leaving Hidden Sword Peak, Mo Fan immediately headed to the Trial Tower.

This time, it was still just over four hours.

"Not bad, I've grasped a bit more of the Formation Source Runes and the Field Origin Essence."

"It's a pity that this stuff gets harder the further you go; I'm afraid I won't be able to fully comprehend it in a short time."

Mo Fan shook his head helplessly.

However, he didn't really care.

Even if he only comprehended a small portion of the Formation Source Runes and the Field Origin Essence, it was enough for his use.

As long as he spent a little more time systematically supplementing his knowledge of Magic Arrays and Fields, his accomplishments in the aspects of Fields and Magic Arrays would reach a considerable level.

In this way, when he went to the Secret Realm, it might be of some help.

Glancing at the Trial Tower, Mo Fan walked back, his steps a bit floaty.

"Damn! Comprehending this stuff is really tiring!"

Mo Fan was annoyed.

Right now, he looked very weak!

Returning home, he casually made something to eat to get by, and then Mo Fan fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

When he woke up again, it was already almost dark.

"This nap was really comfortable—"

Mo Fan stretched and began to wash up.

His Mental Energy was extraordinary.

Even under such extreme circumstances, he became energetic immediately after a nap.

Without any hesitation, Mo Fan went out again, heading to the Trial Tower.

It was still just over four hours to clear the level.

Mo Fan returned home looking exhausted.

Just as he reached the courtyard, he saw a stunning figure.

"Dad, I'm back~"

Mo Yingying walked over with a smile, pulling Mo Fan towards the house.

"Dad, you must be hungry, right? I made you something delicious!"

Mo Fan smiled and followed Mo Yingying into the house.

Walking into the living room, he turned on the lights. A table full of delicacies came into view, with perfect color, aroma, and taste. It was still steaming, making one's appetite soar.

"It's still hot? Did you just cook it?" Mo Fan asked doubtfully.

"Mhm!" Mo Yingying nodded.

"How did you know I would be back at this time?"

"I came to look for you but couldn't find you, so I checked and knew you went to the Trial Tower!" Mo Yingying said.

"Then how did you know I would be back at this time?"

"Of course, I checked your entry record and the previous clearance time," Mo Yingying said as if it were obvious.

"Can you just check these data casually?" Mo Fan asked doubtfully.

"I am the Saintess after all, I still have a little bit of authority."

"Anyway, don't mind that. The food will get cold soon. Eat, eat, I haven't had dinner yet either!"

Mo Yingying pulled Mo Fan to the dining table.

"You eat first, I'll go wash my hands."

...

After eating, Mo Fan got a glass of iced plum juice for Mo Yingying.

"Eh? Dad, you have this!" Mo Yingying was delighted.

This stuff is not easy to buy!

You have to run to the market behind the Menial Service Yard!

Mo Fan smiled, didn't explain, sat on a chair to the side, and started drinking the plum juice.

"When did you get back?" he asked casually.

"When it was getting dark." Mo Yingying replied while gulping down the drink.

"Everything went smoothly, right?" Mo Fan continued.

"Not very smoothly. The Heavenly Demon Cult is too cunning; many of them escaped!" Mo Yingying clenched her fist, saying indignantly.

"It's good that you are safe." Mo Fan shook his head.

"Mhm, but the Heavenly Demon Cult is finished!" Mo Yingying suddenly smiled brightly.

"How so?" Mo Fan asked doubtfully.

"Didn't the Demon Race send elites to attack our Yuxu Academy two days ago, and then suffered heavy losses?"

"Yeah." Mo Fan nodded.

"That batch of Demon Race elites who attacked Yuxu Academy was completely wiped out, which led to the Demon Race suffering a major blow to their Origin Qi!"

"In this way, the Demon Suppression Division can free up their hands to deal with the Heavenly Demon Cult!"

"Now the Demon Suppression Division has begun to formulate a meticulous plan, preparing to eradicate the Heavenly Demon Cult's bases everywhere in one fell swoop!"

"So that's it." Mo Fan realized.

This is indeed a good opportunity to deal with the Heavenly Demon Cult.

However, the first person he thought of was Lin Yiyi.

As a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

Is this guy going to get busy again?

"The Heavenly Demon Cult deserves to die. It would be great if we could wipe them all out this time!" Mo Yingying hummed.

"I hope so." Mo Fan nodded.

Thinking about it, Mo Fan looked at his daughter and said:

"I went through the Trial Tower and even broke your record. Aren't you surprised at all?"

"What's there to be surprised about? You are my dad. Isn't it normal for you to be better than me?" Mo Yingying tilted her head in confusion.

"Uh, what you said makes sense." Mo Fan was speechless.

You have the Invincible Physique and Emperors Talent, hey!

Having your record broken by me, don't you know to be slightly ashamed and then strive for improvement, trying to break the record back?

Seeming to guess what Mo Fan was thinking.

Mo Yingying shook her head quickly, looking reluctant:

"That ghost place, the Trial Tower, I don't want to go there even if I die!"

"What did you encounter after the fourth floor?" Mo Fan asked doubtfully.

Such a good place, why be resistant to it?

Mo Yingying thought for a while and said: "The fifth and sixth floors are Concepts, the seventh floor is Magic Arrays, the eighth floor is Fields, and the last floor is the True Self!"

"Same as me. Putting the Concept aside, the Formation Source Runes and the Field Origin Essence are both good things. Comprehending more will definitely be beneficial. Why don't you want to go again?" Mo Fan was surprised.

"Because it's too hard, Dad!"

"That day when I was going through the seventh and eighth floors, I was so worried I almost went bald. In the end, I barely met the conditions before the time ran out!"

Mo Fan: "?"

Is it that hard?

"It's too hard. I never want to go to that ghost place again!"

"And it's useless to go. The Formation Source Runes and Field Origin Essence get harder and harder the further you go. The time for clearing the tower has reached my limit. If I go again, I'll be depressed!"

Mo Fan covered his forehead: "Then don't go. With your Physique, there's no need to learn Fields and Magic Arrays."

"Mhm~" Mo Yingying immediately beamed with joy.

Seeming to think of something, Mo Yingying asked doubtfully: "Dad, how did you manage to clear it in four hours?"

"I shamelessly stayed on the seventh and eighth floors for two hours." Mo Fan said.

Mo Yingying: "???"

Is this human language?

Mo Yingying took a deep breath and asked curiously:

"So Dad, how long did it take you to meet the conditions for the Formation Source Runes and the Field Origin Essence?"

"Combined, a dozen minutes? I don't remember exactly—" Mo Fan shook his head.

Mo Yingying: "?!!"

"Dad, you are too much!"

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan was surprised.

"It's too discouraging, wuwuwu!"

Mo Fan: "..."

"I am a loser, wuwuwu—"

Mo Fan's face turned black: "Speak properly."

"Okay..."

Mo Yingying immediately became serious and continued to ask:

"Dad, is your ninth floor also a True Self test?"

"It should be. That level had someone exactly the same as me sitting opposite me." Mo Fan said.

"Yes, yes, yes! That is our obsession! It is also known as the Heart Demon!"

"Only by defeating one's own Heart Demon can one pass the ninth floor!"

"This is too hard! I argued with it for more than ten hours before I passed it!"

Mo Fan was dumbfounded: "You argued with it?"

"Yes! It tempted me! I scolded it! Then it tempted me even more! Then I scolded it even more! Then it—"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Mo Fan wanted to hit someone.

Are you nesting dolls here?

"Mhm! That's it! It was too strong! I scolded it for more than ten hours before it disappeared! I almost couldn't hold on!" Mo Yingying patted her chest with lingering fear.

"Dad, how much time did you spend scolding it—no, wait, convincing it?"

Mo Fan shook his head: "I didn't scold it."

"Then how did you pass?" Mo Yingying asked doubtfully.

"I used love to reform it." Mo Fan said.

"How to reform?" Mo Yingying was curious.

"I looked at it with the warmest gaze." Mo Fan said.

"And then?" Mo Yingying was even more curious.

"Then it couldn't bear it and cracked on its own." Mo Fan sighed.

Mo Yingying: "?"

"Dad, you're not joking, right?"

"A little bit joking, but it's about the same. I didn't say anything, and it shattered by itself..." Mo Fan himself was also confused.

"Is that so? I don't really understand either..."

Mo Yingying frowned and scratched her head, guessing:

"Maybe it's because you have few distracting thoughts? It surrendered when it saw you?"

"Very likely." Mo Fan nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about this. I'll ask you about the Secret Realm." Mo Fan changed the subject.

"Ask away." Mo Yingying looked at him.

"Are there many Magic Arrays and Fields inside?"

"Very many, visible everywhere!"

"Is the forbidden area very dangerous!"

"Extremely dangerous, even those at Returning to Origin dare not approach it easily!"

"Tell me roughly about the situation inside."

"Okay!"

Half an hour later.

After listening to his daughter's account, Mo Fan had a certain understanding of the Secret Realm.

It is certain that knowledge of Magic Arrays and Fields is indeed very useful.

Everyone dares not step into places with Magic Arrays and Fields.

In this way, the probability of good things existing inside is relatively higher.

Mo Yingying was able to obtain that mass of indestructible substance because she comprehended a trace of Field Origin Essence on the eighth floor of the Trial Tower, and eventually cleverly guided it out.

If one's accomplishments in Fields and Magic Arrays reach a certain level, one might be able to harvest quite a few good things.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan made up his mind. Once he enters the inner sect, he must use the remaining time to study the basic knowledge of Fields and Magic Arrays!

Seeming to think of something, Mo Fan suddenly looked at his daughter and asked doubtfully:

"By the way, when you were in the Secret Realm, did the Dao Protector follow you all the time?"

"No, the Dao Protectors are all Grand Elders and the like. They are very cold and aloof, not bodyguards...",

"They only hide in far-away places and won't stare at you all the time."

"They won't appear unless it's a life-and-death crisis. Dad, you can't be careless in the future and court death!" Mo Yingying warned.

Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Don't worry, I definitely won't court death."

"By the way, Dad, have you decided which peak to join?"

"Not yet, no rush, there are still a few days left." Mo Fan shook his head.

"Why don't you choose our Chixia Peak..." Mo Yingying said softly.

"I have this thought too." Mo Fan said.

"Ah?" Mo Yingying was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

But soon, she became a little worried again.

"What's with your rich expressions?" Mo Fan's face turned black.

"Uh—" Mo Yingying smiled awkwardly, "Dad, I was joking before. I didn't really want to be your Senior Sister..."

It's okay to joke.

If she really became Dad's Senior Sister... how awkward would that be?

"It's fine, our situation is special, we can just count each separately." Mo Fan said.

"Dad, are you serious?" Mo Yingying widened her eyes.

"I'm just saying, I haven't considered it carefully yet." Mo Fan shook his head.

He was indeed inclined to choose Chixia Peak.

No choice.

Chixia Peak's Legacy is Magic Arrays and Fields.

And what Mo Fan lacks right now is exactly these things.

There isn't much time left.

To grow quickly.

Naturally, one must learn the best.

After chatting for a while, it was about time, so Mo Fan sent Mo Yingying back.

Before leaving, Mo Yingying placed a large bag of Spirit Stones on the table.

This time, Mo Fan didn't refuse again.

Well, he was used to it!

Getting the Spirit Stones, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on them.

【Found Low-Grade Spirit Stone * 2000, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb?】

"2000 pieces—"

Mo Fan fell into deep thought.

His daughter had only been out for three or four days.

And she earned 2000 Spirit Stones.

And this was the result of her restraining herself and only taking a little bit.

How many Spirit Stones did he earn after working hard to refine pills for a month?

900!

"Sure enough, it's easier to earn Spirit Stones outside!" Mo Fan sighed.

Shaking his head, he didn't think too much and chose to absorb the Spirit Stones.

In an instant, the Virtual panel flashed, and Mo Fan's attribute panel popped up on its own.

【Name: Mo Fan】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment First Level (+)】

【...】 (Click to expand)

【Available attribute points: 2200】

"Adding the 200 remaining before, the available attribute points have risen to 2200 points. Not bad, with so many attribute points, I should add some!"

"I just don't know how many times I can add."

Speaking of which, after his cultivation reached Foundation Establishment, he hadn't checked how many attribute points were needed for the next addition.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan focused and locked his gaze on the plus sign behind the cultivation column.

In an instant, the Virtual panel flashed, and a prompt box popped up.

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment First Level (+) (2200 / 2200)】

Mo Fan: "???"

Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

"This time, adding points actually requires 2200 points?"

Last time, adding points only needed seven or eight hundred.

This time, it actually soared directly to 2200 points?

If this continues, by the time I break through to Returning to Origin, wouldn't I have to exhaust all the Spirit Stones of the Academy?

What should I do later?

Mo Fan was confused.

"Forget it, when the boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight, don't think so much!"

No longer overthinking, Mo Fan focused and added points.

Boom!

Terrifying energy surged from an unknown space towards Mo Fan, directly pouring into his glabella, and entering the mysterious Qi Sea.

The Qi Sea boiled, and endless Innate Protective Aura was converted and released.

After experiencing a series of changes.

Mo Fan's cultivation broke through.

Feeling his own strength, Mo Fan nodded slightly.

"Although the increase is not very obvious, it is still stronger than before."

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan focused and checked the attribute panel.

【Name: Mo Fan】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Second Level (+)】

【Cultivation Technique: Innate Art, Breath Concealment Art, Sword Nurturing Art (Beginner)】

【Martial Skill: Vajra Fist - Innate Chapter, Golden Body Art (Second Layer)】

【Special Ability: Alchemy (Small Achievement), Fist Intent (Major Achievement)】

【Storage Space: 100 cubic meters (+)】

【Available attribute points: 0】

Cultivation reached Foundation Establishment Second Level.

Available attribute points cleared to zero.

"Too terrible, 2200 attribute points were gone in an instant!"

Mo Fan looked at the sky speechlessly.

He remembered that he also earned 2200 Spirit Stones that time at Huilong Mountain!

Yes, he risked his life to earn 2200 Spirit Stones!

Now it's good, it's only enough to add points once...

Thinking like this, Mo Fan gathered his spirit again, locking his gaze on the plus sign behind the cultivation column.

Soon, the Virtual panel flashed, and a prompt box appeared.

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Second Level (+) (0 / 2400)】

"Eh, this time the increase isn't too outrageous." Mo Fan was slightly surprised.

But soon, he shook his head again.

"Can't be careless, it will get more and more outrageous the further you go!"

"I don't know if I can find a substitute that can be converted into attribute points—"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan looked forward to going to the Secret Realm even more.

After all, in the current situation.

If there really is a substitute that can be converted into attribute points, then places like ruins are undoubtedly much more likely than other places.

"Let's see the situation when the time comes!"

"If I can break open some Fields and Magic Arrays in the forbidden area! Maybe I can have a big harvest!"

Mo Fan decided to try it.

If there is danger, just retreat decisively!

(PS: Can't work anymore, let's do four thousand today, sleep early, and strive to write more tomorrow.)
