Today, I want to share with you how to increase cultivation in Ghost Valley of Eight Desolates. In the game, the improvement of cultivation is a core element on the path to immortality, determining whether players can smoothly advance to higher realms and unlock more powerful techniques and skills. Gaining cultivation is not through a single method but requires a deep understanding and flexible use of various systems within the game.

Traveling is one of the basic ways to increase cultivation. When traveling time exceeds one year, players will naturally gain cultivation levels. However, as the realm increases, the cultivation benefits provided by traveling gradually decrease. This mechanism makes traveling more suitable as an auxiliary means of early cultivation improvement. To maximize the benefits of traveling, players can prioritize unexplored areas or high-level maps, triggering random events, cave exploration, or resource gathering. These additional activities can accumulate spirit stones and techniques while laying a solid foundation for future cultivation.

Pills are a core method for rapidly increasing cultivation, but their acquisition and usage require strategic planning. Cultivation pills can be obtained through main storyline quests or purchased at the auction house in Langya Sword Pavilion. However, for players seeking maximum efficiency, joining a sect and using the sect's alchemy furnace to independently refine pills is undoubtedly a better choice. Spirit Essence Pills, as important pills for increasing cultivation, have a usage limit of 999, after which they cannot further increase cultivation. When using pills, it's best to fully utilize the effects of Spirit Essence Pills before breaking through bottlenecks to avoid wasting resources.

Quests are the most explosive way to accumulate cultivation. There are many types of quest rewards in the game, such as "Quafoo Chasing the Sun" and "Far Mountain Traveler" in the main storyline, which provide significant cultivation points. Quests often come with complex puzzles or combat challenges, requiring players to have certain combat strength and wisdom. Completing quests not only provides cultivation rewards but may also unlock rare techniques, valuable items, and unique fortunes, all of which have a profound impact on subsequent cultivation. Players should actively accept or trigger quests, especially in high-level areas where rewards are usually richer.

In the process of accumulating cultivation, bottleneck stages are challenges that players must face. When cultivation reaches 30,000, 50,000, and 70,000 points, players enter bottleneck periods and receive negative attributes associated with "breaking through bottlenecks." At this time, players need to rely on completing main storyline quests or specific quests to break through bottlenecks and remove restrictions. The cost of breaking through bottlenecks is high, but it significantly increases the player's cultivation cap and realm potential after completion. Therefore, before entering the bottleneck period, players should prepare sufficient resources, including pills, spirit stones, and equipment, to ensure a smooth breakthrough process.

In addition to the main methods mentioned above, resource management and system coordination play a key role in improving cultivation. Players can enhance cultivation acquisition efficiency by improving enlightenment and spiritual root qualities. For example, choosing high-enlightenment fortunes like "Heaven Envies Talent" or "Peerless Wisdom" can effectively increase cultivation growth speed but may come at the cost of lifespan or other attributes. Additionally, strengthening spiritual root qualities directly affects technique practice efficiency and combat performance. It is recommended to match corresponding spiritual root fortunes and pill resources to maximize training effects.
