The golden affixes already possessed formidable enhancement power, but the Heavenly Dao affixes, carrying a trace of Heavenly Dao power, offered far greater enhancement than the golden affixes, even capable of generating exclusive Heavenly Dao divine abilities with boundless power.
More importantly, if he could collect all one hundred Heavenly Dao fragments, he could reshape the ancient artifact of yesteryear. Simultaneously, Qin Changsheng would gain the permanent opportunity to strengthen the golden affixes, no longer needing to rely on Heavenly Dao fragments.
Qin Changsheng's gaze once more fell upon the golden affixes.
[Name: Qin Changsheng]
[Lifespan: 28/+∞]
[Affixes: Cultivation, Storage Space, Avatar, Immortality, Substitute Death, Concealment, Exchange, Sword Heart Clarity, Sharing, Intelligence, Source of Mana, Fire Spells, Rebirth]
Lines of golden affixes slowly unfolded before him, gleaming brilliantly.
Cultivation, storage space, avatar, immortality, substitution, concealment, exchange, sword heart enlightenment, sharing, intelligence, mana source, fire magic, rebirth… each one is fundamental to his survival.
His gaze swept calmly across them, silently calculating in his mind.
Storage space: Qin Changsheng already possessed a thousand cubic meters of space, more than enough for his needs; further improvement would be pointless.
Concealment, intelligence, and exchange were sufficient for now; further upgrades would offer limited benefits.
Mana source, fire magic, sword heart enlightenment, and avatar—while providing a direct boost to combat power, weren't the most urgent needs.
Immortality: his lifespan was already limitless.
Substitution and rebirth were matters of life and death, but their potential for improvement was limited, especially rebirth, which, even if upgraded, would only increase cooldown time.
Cultivation, seemingly insignificant, was crucial to the growth speed of all his future opportunities, treasures, and attributes.
Once this entry is upgraded to the Heavenly Dao level, everything from planting spirit herbs, nurturing resources, cultivating treasures, to even comprehending cultivation techniques will be accelerated at the Heavenly Dao level.
Moreover, he is currently in dire need of spirit stones. If he can achieve this upgrade, his speed of mining spirit stones will increase dramatically.
"Strengthen." As Qin Changsheng's voice fell, the golden light at the top of the panel surged, and the power of the newly acquired Heavenly Dao fragments poured in.
The two characters "Cultivation," which were originally just pale gold, were instantly enveloped by a more vast and majestic Heavenly Dao spiritual light. The golden patterns transformed layer by layer, turning into profound and unpredictable silver-white Heavenly Dao runes.

An aura originating from the level of rules slowly dissipated.
[Ding! The golden entry "Cultivation" has been strengthened to the Heavenly Dao entry · Cultivation!]
[Heavenly Dao Entry · Cultivation: One part cultivation, ten parts harvest.]
[Synchronized: All your avatars enjoy the effects of Heavenly Dao Cultivation!]
Looking at the notification on the entry, Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with joy.
Originally, cultivating a golden entry yielded five times the reward for one effort.
But now, with Heavenly Dao entries, the reward is ten times greater.
Moreover, it can be synchronized across his avatars.
Also, his avatars can benefit from the blessing of Heavenly Dao Cultivation.
Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, eager to try it out himself and verify the miraculous effect of "one part effort, ten parts reward."
He waved his hand, and instantly, all the necessary items for drawing talismans appeared on the stone table: yellow talisman paper, cinnabar, a wolf-hair brush, and a small bottle of spiritual liquid containing spiritual energy.
These were all common materials for drawing talismans. Qin Changsheng had drawn fireball talismans many times before, his technique was skillful, but previously, drawing one only yielded five talismans. Today, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's Cultivation, he wanted to see what kind of surprise awaited him.
Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, calming his mind. His spiritual energy slowly surged, flowing down his arm and into the wolf-hair brush.
Holding the brush, he dipped it into talisman ink mixed with cinnabar and spiritual liquid. With a slight flick of his wrist, the brush moved swiftly across the yellow talisman paper, producing intricate runes. The spiritual light flowed with the tip of the brush, precise and fluid, without the slightest hesitation.
In just a few breaths, a fireball talisman, entirely red and surrounded by a faint fiery spiritual light, was completed.
Qin Changsheng placed the finished fireball talisman on the stone table, about to pick it up and examine it, when a soft spiritual light suddenly burst forth from his body, enveloping the talisman.
The next second, a strange and miraculous scene unfolded. The fireball talisman on the stone table flashed, then transformed into a red light. Immediately afterward, ten identical fireball talismans were neatly arranged on the table, each radiating the same intense spiritual light as the first. The runes were clear, the spiritual energy abundant, without the slightest difference, as if they had been drawn simultaneously.
"Ten talismans!" A hint of joy flashed in Qin Changsheng's eyes as he reached out and picked up a fireball talisman.
One effort yields ten rewards. Drawing one fireball talisman yielded ten! This blessing was far more powerful than he had anticipated. From now on, whether drawing talismans for personal use or exchanging them for resources, his efforts would be twice as effective.
Having verified the effect of the talismans, Qin Changsheng didn't stop. He put away the talisman-drawing materials and then placed the alchemy furnace and the ingredients for the Qi Gathering Pill on the stone table.
The Qi Gathering Pill was a commonly used pill among Qi Refining cultivators. While not difficult to refine, it was extremely demanding in terms of mental focus and medicinal materials.
He lit the spiritual fire beneath the alchemy furnace, carefully placing the medicinal herbs one by one into the furnace. He channeled his spiritual energy, meticulously controlling the temperature of the fire, and slowly refined the herbs and fused their medicinal power according to the predetermined formula.
Half an hour later, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted from the furnace. Qin Changsheng's heart stirred. He opened the furnace lid, and a shimmering white light emerged. Ten identical Qi Gathering Pills were neatly arranged inside, each as white as jade, exuding a rich fragrance and possessing pure medicinal power, far surpassing the Qi Gathering Pills he had previously refined.
The effects of drawing talismans and refining pills had been verified. Qin Changsheng's greatest anticipation was for his cultivation to improve.
He put away the alchemy furnace and the Qi Gathering Pills, walked to the futon in the center of the courtyard, sat down, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on his internal cultivation, beginning to circulate his cultivation technique, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air, and concentrating on his practice.
Previously, his absorption of spiritual energy was slow; he could only gain one hundred points of proficiency per day.
Today, however, as he circulated his cultivation technique, the spiritual energy in the air seemed to be drawn in, rushing wildly into his body. The rate of absorption was much faster than before, and the flow of spiritual power within his meridians was smoother, without the slightest stagnation.
He could clearly feel the spiritual power within his body accumulating rapidly; with each wisp of spiritual energy he absorbed, the converted spiritual power was significantly greater than before.
A day later, Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of shock and elation in them. He checked his proficiency level on his attribute panel.
He discovered that after a day of cultivation, his proficiency had increased by a full 130 points.
That's a full 30 points more than before!
Qin Changsheng was deeply shocked. Previously, 100 points a day was his limit. Now, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's Cultivation skill, an extra 30 points a day might seem small, but over time, the difference would become increasingly significant.
At this rate, the time it would take him to break through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment would be greatly shortened, and his path of cultivation would become much smoother.
One unit of effort yields ten units of reward. This Heavenly Dao attribute was indeed the wisest choice.
Drawing talismans, refining pills, cultivating—all his investments would yield tenfold returns. From now on, whatever he did would be twice as effective with half the effort. Accumulating resources and improving his strength would no longer be a problem.
Moreover, the speed of mining spirit stones would increase dramatically.
It would normally take him several years to collect one million spirit stones.
Now, with the cultivation of Heavenly Dao entries, the time he needs will be greatly reduced.
