Chapter 1003 – Entering the Immortal Ascension Platform
Upon hearing this, Xu Chuniang took out her identity token and handed it to the lead guard.
The leader took the identity token and after confirming its authenticity, his expression loosened a little, handing over the identity token in his hand to one of the guards and looking at Xu Chunniang again.
“Since you’re here because of the Immortal Ascension Platform, I’ll have someone take you there later, but before you come here, I think you should have already inquired about it, right?
This is an important place of the Immortal Vein, so to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, please do not walk around freely, or else you will be responsible for the consequences.”
Xu Chuniang arched her hand, “I do know the rules, I only want to borrow the Immortal Ascension Platform, I have no other intentions.”
“I hope so.”
The leader nodded, gave Xu Chuniang a warning-like glance, and left with the rest of the guards.
The remaining guard looked at Xu Chuniang, revealing a friendly smile, “Fairy, please follow me, there are several types of Immortal Ascension Platforms, with varying price points, I wonder which one fairy would like to go for?”
Although Monkey and the others had helped to ask around, there were several types of Immortal Ascension Platforms, and they weren’t too sure about the exact amount of Immortal Crystals to be charged.
Xu Chuniang said as she walked, “I heard from my friend that the Immortal Ascension Platforms in the Immortal Veins can help with cultivation, and some of them are incredibly efficient, a day’s cultivation on them can be worth a thousand days of hard cultivation on weekdays, I wonder if this news is true or not?”
“Of course it’s true!”
The guard straightened his chest with honor, his tone full of pride.
“It’s not that I’m bragging, the Immortal Ascension Platform we have here was cast by a Heavenly Immortal powerhouse in the Triple Heavens, not to mention that one day of cultivation is worth a thousand, as long as there are enough Immortal Crystals, it’s worth 2,000 or 3,000 days!”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, “Oh? With the same Immortal Ascension Platform, will the effect of cultivation be different?”
“Of course, the Immortal Ascension Platform plays the role of transforming Immortal Crystals, the effect is similar to a strengthened version of the Spirit Gathering Formation in the lower realm, the more Immortal Crystals you pile up, the better the effect of cultivation will be naturally.”
The guards glanced at Xu Chuniang in understanding, “This is the first time a fairy has come to borrow this Immortal Ascension Platform, right?”
Xu Chuniang nodded, “Precisely, it’s my first time here, and there are still many things I don’t understand, so I’d like to ask little brother to explain it to me.”
“Hehe, Fairy is polite, this is supposed to be my due diligence, if you don’t ask, I will also talk to you properly.”
The guard pointed at the immortal vein in front of him and spoke eloquently.
“This Immortal Ascension Platform ah, there are a total of four types: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade and extreme grade, the lower grade Immortal Ascension Platform has the worst effect, a day’s cultivation on it can counteract three to five days of hard cultivation, and it only requires thirty to fifty Immortal Crystals per day.
While the middle-grade Immortal Ascension Platform, for every day of cultivation, it can withstand anywhere from ten to thirty days of hard cultivation, and requires at least one hundred Immortal Crystals per day.”
Xu Chuniang pondered, it seemed that the more Immortal Crystals one consumed, the faster one could cultivate.
“What about the top-grade and extreme-grade Immortal Ascension Platforms?”
“The top-grade Immortal Ascension Platform, for every day of cultivation, it can be worth anywhere from a hundred to three hundred days of hard cultivation, and you have to consume at least a thousand Immortal Crystals per day!
As for the Extreme Grade Immortal Ascension Stage, although each day of cultivation can be worth anywhere from one thousand to three thousand days of hard cultivation, its consumption is simply too shocking, and just one day’s consumption alone is as high as ten thousand!”
Xu Chuniang was secretly staggered, before she came, she was still thinking that she would go to the best Immortal Ascension Stage to cultivate, but right now, it seemed that the entire fortune she had on her body would only be enough for her to cultivate on the Extreme Immortal Ascension Stage for twenty or so days.
“Then this Immortal Ascension Platform, how is it charged?”
The guards skillfully quoted, “The lower grade Immortal Ascension Platform is not expensive, the rental fee is fifty Immortal Crystals per month, for the middle and upper grades, only one hundred Immortal Crystals and one thousand Immortal Crystals per month, as for the Extreme Grade Immortal Ascension Platform, it is a daily fee, and five hundred Immortal Crystals are required to be paid per day!” “The rental fee for this Immortal Ascension Platform is not too expensive.”
Even for the Extreme Grade Immortal Ascension Platform, five hundred per day just sounded like a lot.
The higher the grade of the Immortal Ascension Platform, the shorter the time it took to cultivate to the Human Immortal Middle Realm, so when converted, it actually wasn’t much more expensive.
The guard smiled helplessly and told the inside story.
“The Immortal Ascension Platform’s fee is not high, in order to attract more Immortals to come here to cultivate, the Immortal Crystals that you rent from the Immortal Ascension Platform will all be used to maintain the Immortal Vein’s operation, after all, the Immortal Vein is the foundation of Floating Jade City.
Fairy has never cultivated on an Immortal Ascension Platform before, I suggest you just choose a lower or middle grade Immortal Ascension Platform, lest you cultivate too fast and leave certain hidden dangers that will hinder your future cultivation.”
Xu Chuniang pondered, the guard’s words were not without reason, although the Tai Shang Free Heart Sutra was very powerful, and so far, none of them had gone wrong, but to be conservative, she should start with the medium-grade Immortal Ascension Stage first and slowly adapt to it.
“Good, then I’ll rent the Medium Grade Immortal Ascension Platform for a month first.”
“Alright, fairy and follow me.”
The guards were familiar with the immortal veins and terrain, and after charging a fee of one hundred immortal crystals, they quickly led Xu Chuniang to a mid-grade ascension platform nearby.
He handed Xu Chuniang a talisman, “The Immortal Ascension Platform is in front of you, with this talisman, you can support your cultivation for a month inside, and the methods and taboos regarding the use of the Immortal Ascension Platform are all recorded in this talisman.
After one month, if you want to leave or renew your contract, you can also use this talisman to send a message to me.”
Xu Chuniang accepted the talisman order and after seeing the guards leave, she turned around and curiously glanced at the Immortal Ascension Platform in front of her.
This Immortal Ascension Platform was built on top of an Immortal Vein, and on the outside, it looked like a small, exquisite attic, and from the outside, one could not see what was going on inside at all.
Xu Chuniang activated the talisman order, and the door of the Immortal Ascension Platform opened in response, revealing an ancient and simple space with pavilions, villages, and flowing water, which had its own kind of leisurely flavor.
It turns out that this Immortal Ascension Platform, actually also set up a space formation, there is something else inside.
Xu Chuniang stepped into the Immortal Ascension Platform, the door should be closed, the Immortal Ascension Platform inside and outside separated into two worlds.
Just after stepping into it, her eyes landed on the waterwheel next to the rocks.
This waterwheel was a mundane object, not to mention the Immortal Realm, even the Spirit Realm was rare, but she didn’t expect that there would actually be one here.
After staring at the waterwheel carefully for a while, Xu Chuniang soon discovered the seemingly indistinct aura of the Dao of Formation on the waterwheel.
No, it wasn’t just the waterwheel, the gurgling water, the rocks and houses by the water’s edge, as well as everything in this inner space, all lingered with the faint aura of the Dao of Formation.
The person who had set up the formation had actually integrated the entire inner space, into the formation!
Xu Chuniang’s eyes flashed with a strange aura as she scrutinized the surrounding mountains, rocks, grasses and trees, barely able to hold back the foolishness within her heart.
All along, she had a strong interest and extreme sensitivity towards formations, and would seize every opportunity to learn the way of formations.
After entering the Immortal Realm, forced to make a living, she had to run around for Immortal Crystals, and could only helplessly leave Formation to the back of her mind.
But the formation in front of her was just too subtle for her to resist wanting to study it.
