The concept of Foundation Establishment Realm does not exist among the Horned Demon Clan; Foundation Establishment Realm is a realm unique to the Human Race.
After redeeming his military merits, Li Boyang clicked the merit ranking button on the crystal screen.
Instantly, a military merit ranking list appeared on the crystal screen.
The highest-ranking military achievement: 135,000
Second highest military achievement: 131,000.
The third highest military achievement: 129,000.
...
The top ten on the merit list all had over 100,000 merits. Thinking about his own 1,000-plus merits, Li Boyang was initially a little proud, but that pride vanished instantly—the gap was too big.
However, this is the overall ranking, and the top ten are all experts at the Golden Core stage, which is naturally beyond my reach. Moreover, the ranking records accumulated military merits, and in reality, these people certainly do not have that many military merits.
Military merits are consumed daily and exchanged for various resources such as spirit stones and pills.
I clicked on the leaderboard of Qingwei City and finally found my ranking within the range of 1000-1500 military merits.
With a total of 1850 military merits, he ranks 53,900th, a position that is neither high nor low.
After looking at the rankings of the other members of the Dongyang Sect, Ye Qingwu and Yue Yongsi were both around 60,000th place, slightly lower than her.
To Li Boyang's great surprise, Qu Weiyang had accumulated 4,200 military merits, ranking 35,000th, far ahead of him.
Looking at Yu Fei's accumulated military merits, they are much higher than Li Boyang's, with 6,500 points, ranking 22,000th. Given that the other party has a magical artifact, it is not surprising that he was able to obtain this amount of military merits.
After taking a quick look at the military merit rankings, Li Boyang had a preliminary understanding of his own strength.
The top 100 on the overall list are all occupied by experts at the Golden Core Realm, which is incomparable to others due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels.
From number 101 to around 10,000, all of them were Foundation Establishment Realm experts.
Under normal circumstances, once a Qi Refining disciple in the wilderness breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm, they can immediately apply to leave the war and return to their sect.
Each Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is extremely valuable, representing the hope of advancing to the Golden Core stage. Only by reaching the Golden Core stage can one secure a place among the powerful humans.
The Foundation Establishment Realm experts in the Wasteland Battlefield are very special; they are all people who have no hope of breaking through by following the established path, and they come to the Wasteland Battlefield to fight for their lives.
After the ten thousandth place, all the disciples were at the Qi Refining Realm. Qingwei City had about 300,000 Qi Refining Realm disciples, and his ranking of over 40,000th in Qingwei City was already quite high.
Nouns are usually equivalent to ability. Thinking about how many people are ranked ahead of you, the little bit of pride you had at the beginning vanished.
With a light tap of his finger on the military merit exchange, several option buttons appeared on the crystal screen: cultivation techniques, elixirs, magic weapons, and rare treasures.
Clicking the "Cultivation Techniques" button, a dazzling array of manuals appeared on the crystal screen, almost overwhelming Li Boyang's eyes. He narrowed his search to the Foundation Establishment realm, and his gaze was immediately drawn to them.
Foundation Building Essentials: The essentials record the method of building the dantian in the foundation building realm and the insights into the three flavors of mind, intention, and form.
Unsurprisingly, this is the item Li Boyang needs most right now.
Seeing how many military merits were needed to exchange for it, I instantly felt like I had fallen from heaven to hell. It actually took 10,000 military merits to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Essentials.
He only has 1180 points of wealth left, which is far from enough. At this point, he has made exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Essentials his top priority.
Based on the calculation of 10 military merits per Horned Demon, it would take killing more than 800 Horned Demons to earn enough points.
Click the button for magical artifacts again, and several secondary buttons will appear on the screen: Dao artifact, magical artifact, spiritual artifact, and magic artifact.
After clicking the button for viewing Dao artifacts, a line of text appeared on the crystal screen: "Your cultivation level is insufficient to view Dao artifacts. Please cultivate diligently."
Li Boyang's face immediately darkened.
After clicking on the magic weapon, the same sentence appeared.
I tried clicking on the magical artifact again, but it still wouldn't open.
Finally, when the finger was pressed on the ritual implement, the interface on the crystal screen changed, displaying a long list of ritual implement names, each with a description below it.
I looked up Yu Fei's Spirit Wind Sword, which was ranked 129th. It's a high-grade magic weapon, and it would cost 20,000 military merits to exchange for it.
Instantly, I was filled with annoyance.
Suddenly, Li Boyang noticed a "Confirm" button and pressed it. The magic circle next to the crystal screen lit up, and the screen prompted him to place the magic item into the magic circle.
After reading it, Li Boyang followed the instructions and placed the lotus seedpod he had stolen from Kress on the magic circle. Instantly, a holographic image of the lotus seedpod appeared on the crystal screen.
The Shattered Golden Lotus is a mid-grade defensive magic weapon. It is worth 10,000 military merits and can be sold to the Human Alliance for 5,000 military merits.
The artifact already bears the mark of its master. The mark needs to be removed before it can be re-refined. Would you like to consume 800 military merits to remove the mark from the artifact?
Damn it, 800 military merits, and I only got a little over 1,000 after working myself to the bone. Oh well, I can't be stingy with my money. My fingers trembled slightly as I clicked "confirm".
The magic circle beside the crystal screen suddenly erupted with power, covering the shattered golden lotus pod. The power dissipated the next moment, and everything returned to normal.
"that's all?"
After taking the broken golden lotus seedpod back from the magic circle, it felt no different from before.
Li Boyang frowned. This had cost him eight hundred military merits; the money was too easy to earn.
How should one perform a ritual?
Li Boyang clicked to exit the magic weapon interface and returned to the cultivation technique interface.
The method for refining magical artifacts can definitely be found in the cultivation techniques category.
