Chapter 52: Energy Value has shrunk significantly

[Year 42, you heard from Old Li that the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya showed signs of disturbance.]

[You are now the most skilled Formation Master on Spine Mountain, so he asked you to check it out.]

[Without hesitation, you immediately went to the location of Lu Wuya's formation.]

[In fact, even if Old Li hadn't sought you out, you were planning to come and take a look.]

[After all, you know that in the 43rd year, Old Li and the others will venture into the Desert of Death, so the formation must have shown problems this year.]

[This time, you noticed more formation symbols.]

[You continuously observed the formation's operational routes, trying to understand its logic.]

[Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and you were already drenched in sweat.]

[Although you are a seventh-grade Formation Master, the grade of this formation is extremely high. Each observation and calculation consumes a lot of your mental energy.]

[But after three days of calculations, you finally deciphered the operational logic of one set of formation runes.]

[However, this left you somewhat puzzled.]

[You couldn't understand why a formation that could resist Heavenly Thunder had runes that seemed to guide rather than defend.]

["Guide, guide!" you muttered to yourself repeatedly.]

[Suddenly, a thought struck you.]

[Could it be that this formation doesn't eliminate Heavenly Thunder but redirects it elsewhere?]

[Then where could the Heavenly Thunder accumulated over millions of years be redirected?]

[Looking at the formation before you, you exclaimed, "This is bad!"]

[The formation is here, so the redirected Heavenly Thunder must be somewhere on Spine Mountain.]

[But just then, you heard the sound of the formation cracking.]

["Zzz," arcs of electricity began to appear on the formation's lines. Seeing this, you turned to flee.]

["Boom!" The formation exploded. Being at its center, you had no time to escape and were engulfed in a sea of lightning.]

[You struggled desperately, but it was in vain.]

[You died at the age of 60!]

[This simulation has ended.]

[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Longevity of the Southern Mountain (Talent), Cultivation Level (Core Formation Stage 2), Formation Dao Jade Slip, Seventh-Grade Formation Master, Spirit Stones (580,000 pieces)]

[Longevity of the Southern Mountain (Talent)]: Price 100 million Energy Value.

[Cultivation Level (Core Formation Stage 2)]: Price 200 million Energy Value.

[Formation Dao Jade Slip]: Price 1 billion Energy Value.

[Seventh-Grade Formation Master]: Price 10 billion Energy Value.

This enhancement was more about memory.

Fortunately, the simulator's infusion was gentle, unlike the headache-inducing deep simulation of the Formation Dao Jade Slip.

At the same time, the simulator's voice sounded again.

[Ding, the host's storage space is insufficient to hold all the Spirit Stones. The host can choose to spend 1 billion Energy Value to expand it by 100 times.]

"Expand!"

Jiang Yifeng didn't hesitate.

Although his Energy Value was running low, he couldn't leave the Spirit Stones out in the open.

That would be too conspicuous and not in line with his cautious nature.

[Ding, storage ring expansion successful. Your purchased Spirit Stones have been placed in the storage ring.]

Jiang Yifeng checked his storage ring.

Externally, it looked the same, but the internal space had expanded significantly.

Originally only 50 cubic meters, about the size of a room.

Now it had expanded 100 times to 5000 cubic meters.

In terms of floor area, it was as large as a football field.

Inside the storage ring, a small mountain of Spirit Stones was piled on one side.

Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but smile.

But thinking about the tens of billions of Energy Value spent on these Spirit Stones, he felt a bit of heartache.

Looking at the remaining 3 billion Energy Value, Jiang Yifeng pondered whether he should have Jiang Dafu start purchasing gold, silver, and jewels again.

"Forget it, let's wait a bit longer!"

Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself.

He remembered that his previous purchases of gold, silver, and jewels had caused a cash flow problem for the Jiang Clan Firm.

And it had only been less than two months since then.

He wasn't sure if the Jiang Clan Firm had recovered.

Starting to purchase gold, silver, and jewels now would be too hasty.

Moreover, with over 3 billion Energy Value left, he felt he could still simulate a few more times as long as he didn't exchange for a large number of Spirit Stones.

With everything settled, Jiang Yifeng didn't immediately go to the Pleasure House to listen to music.

His mind was too cluttered with knowledge.

He felt he needed to rest and digest it all.
