101 Vajra Skin
Then, there was the third and fourth Lunar Qi vortex. After the other two balls of Lunar Qi shattered the Qi Lock, they opened.
Xiao Shi took the opportunity to expand the second Lunar Qi vortex. Although he had spent a lot of Qi Martial-level items on the expansion of the first Lunar Qi Vortex, he still had many extra Qi Martial-level items.
After all, when he killed those Seven Stars Sect’s disciples, he had obtained nearly 20 Qi Martial-level items. In addition, he had collected the belongings of those Seven Stars Sect’s disciples and obtained more than 30 Qi Martial-level items after killing them this time.
This caused the number of Qi Martial items on him to reach more than 60. Even after excluding the items that were useful to him, there were still more than 40 Qi Martial-level items that could be used to expand the Lunar Qi vortex.
Moreover, this did not include the Qi Martial-level items that might be on the corpses in the basin.
He believed that he would gain something after plundering these corpses.
Besides, Xiao Shi had yet to collect the many special auras in the basin. There were nearly twenty of these special auras. They could all be used to expand the Lunar Qi vortex.
Xiao Shi believed that with the number of these Qi Martial items, it was definitely enough for him to expand the second Lunar Qi vortex to the limit.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to expand. However, he did not expect the expansion of the second Lunar Qi vortex only expanded four times before reaching its limit.
“What’s the situation?”
Xiao Shi was a little stunned.
The first Lunar Qi vortex had expanded eight times and devoured a total of 36 Qi Martial items before expanding to the limit.
The second Lunar Qi vortex only expanded four times before reaching its limit.
This surprised him.
“Could it be that the limits of different Qi vortexes are different?”
Xiao Shi made a guess. This was like how some Qi locks were stronger, while others were looser. The Qi vortex itself was also different. Not every Qi vortex had the same limit.
After the second Lunar Qi vortex reached its limit, the depth of the Qi vortex was clearly not as deep as the first Lunar Qi vortex.
The Lunar Qi Force inside was also much less than the first Qi vortex.
This was also the difference between different limits. However, after reaching the limit, the hidden transformation of his body was the same as before. It was no different from the first Qi vortex.
The two consecutive modifications of his body also allowed Xiao Shi to have a clearer feeling of this modification. He pondered that this modification seemed to be able to make his body more adapt to the Lunar.
“Could it be that it wants to transform my body into a Lunar body?”
Xiao Shi had a guess.
At this moment, in the night, his entire body dimmed. The Lunar Qi Force in his body was more active than before. Whether it was its strength or its endurance, it had clearly increased.
Because there was not much loss in the expansion of the second Lunar Qi Vortex, Xiao Shi had enough Qi Martial-level items to expand the third Lunar Qi Vortex.
The limit of this third Lunar Qi vortex far exceeded the second Lunar Qi vortex.
Xiao Shi had expanded a total of six times, and devoured a total of 21 Qi Martial-level items. He had finally expanded the third Lunar Qi vortex to the limit.
As he continuously expanded the three Lunar Qi vortexes to the limit, the Qi Martial-level items on him that were not very useful had basically been exhausted. What was left were items that were useful to him.
Even though he had only activated three Qi vortexes, these three Qi vortexes were all extreme Lunar Qi vortexes!
Xiao Shi thought that he could casually kill even those Qi Martial Realm cultivators who had activated 20 Qi Vortexes.
“I wonder… how far am I from the early-stage Qi Martial realm?”
Although these three extreme Lunar Qi vortexes had greatly increased his strength, he was still not a match for an early-stage Qi Martial realm cultivator. But when he completed the cultivation of the Vajra Skin, it would be different!
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi began to take out heavenly treasures. In this kill, a total of five heavenly treasures had dropped. In addition to the three heavenly treasures born here, he had a total of eight heavenly treasures now.
“Eight treasures should be enough for me to cultivate the Vajra Skin!”
Xiao Shi was filled with anticipation. He took out the heavenly treasures one by one and refined them. It turned into a liquid-like substance and smeared it on his body.
Crack, crack!
Apart from the cracks on his shoulder, more fine cracks appeared all over his body.
After refining seven heavenly treasures in a row, the cracks on his skin were like turtle patterns, densely spreading throughout his body. There were even many places that were connected, like a vase that had been shattered and glued back together.
It was as if it would break into pieces at any moment.
“The last one!”
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He held the last heavenly treasure tightly. He refined it and smeared it all over his body.
Boom!
In an instant, his body trembled.
The skin on his body fell off piece by piece, revealing a new layer of skin. This new layer of skin was even fairer and brighter than his previous skin. At the same time, there was a large golden luster hidden under this layer of skin.
With a thought from Xiao Shi, the luster immediately seeped out of his skin. If anyone else saw it, they would definitely think that it was a golden person and not a person with blood and flesh.
In the golden light, his skin was shockingly tough.
Xiao Shi flipped his hand and took out the Qi Slashing Saber. He held the saber and slashed at his body.
The moment he touched the skin on his body, there was the sound of metal colliding. With a clang, he was slashed in the chest by the Qi Slashing Saber. He only felt as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. On a closer look, there was not even a trace of injury.
“This is… the Vajra Skin of the Nine Vajra Body!!”
Xiao Shi was overjoyed.
This was only the protection of the Vajra Skin.
Apart from defense, his physical strength and speed had also increased greatly after cultivating the Vajra Skin. The power that was hidden in every inch of his skin like a volcano made Xiao Shi clearly feel that his current physical strength had even surpassed the power of Qi Force.
Even though he had just activated three extreme Lunar Qi vortexes, it was still not as powerful as after cultivating the Vajra Skin.
This was a physical strength comparable to the early-stage Qi Martial realm!
The gains Xiao Shi had obtained in this place far exceeded the gains he had obtained from killing the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect. After all, most of the gains last time were exclusive items. But this time, his gains brought about an eternal improvement.
...
Even after leaving this Seven Star Holy Land, be it the Lunar Qi Vortex or the Vajra Skin, they would still exist.
At the same time, Xiao Shi also realized that because there was a limited number of exclusive items, even if most of the exclusive items were in his hands now, there would be times when they were used up.
Once it was used up, he would definitely not be their match if he encountered those powerful Qi Martial Realm cultivators again. It would be dangerous then.
“I have to have temperance to use these exclusive items. I can’t use them casually… I have to ensure that I have exclusive items on me before I leave.” Xiao Shi thought to himself.
Although he had many wandering soul guards by his side, there were many Qi Martial Realm martial artists in the entire Seven Star Holy Land. There were at least 20 Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm martial artists.
The Wandering Soul Guards were not necessarily born after killing them.
For example, after Xiao Shi killed this Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator of the Feiyuan Palace, no wandering soul guards were born.
He had to consider his situation after using his exclusive items in advance.
He knew very well that these exclusive items could only ensure that he was strong for a moment. He could not be unscrupulous in the Seven Star Holy Land just because he had these exclusive items.
He had to make reasonable use of these exclusive items to create the greatest value for himself and increase his strength the most here! He could not help but think of the Holy Land Key in his hand.
He felt that it was time to open the secret place.
...
The secret place could be said to be the greatest opportunity and fortune of the Seven Star Holy Land. He believed that the gains there would be even bigger! However, the opening of the secret place required enough people.
Before this, Xiao Shi had already thought of a suitable candidate. There were exactly six people in their five-person team when they eliminated the evil spirit. Together with Cen Qingci, there were six people. Moreover, bringing them into the secret place could allow them to obtain more gains here.
Xiao Shi was very happy to see the people around him become stronger.
If it was within his ability, he naturally had to help them.
“I have to find them as soon as possible.”
Xiao Shi immediately set off to search.
In the night, his speed had increased greatly. However, these increases were no longer brought about by the cultivation technique, Night Tiger. Instead, they were brought about by the Lunar Qi Force.
After all, Night Tiger was a Martial Entry-Level cultivation technique.
After reaching the Qi Martial Realm, Night Tiger’s improvement was basically only in perception, vision, and other aspects. In terms of strength, it was already impossible for it to increase by three times like when he was at the Martial Entry-Level.
However, the Lunar Qi Force made up for this.
Especially after Xiao Shi had three extreme Lunar Qi vortexes, night was still his strongest period.
He ran all the way.
Xiao Shi quickly saw another group of Seven Stars Sect’s disciples fighting together. Moreover, among the many corpses killed by these Seven Stars Sect’s disciples, he saw the corpses of some Red Tiger Sect’s disciples.
This made his expression turn solemn. He realized that there were disciples of the Seven Stars Sect killing in various places. He could not help but worry about the safety of Yang Zhen and the others.
In order to find them as soon as possible, Xiao Shi did not waste time on these Seven Stars Sect’s disciples and left.
The Seven Star Holy Land was very huge. Even the area where they were at the Qi Martial Realm was extremely vast. It was obviously not an easy task to find Yang Zhen and the others. He searched for two days in a row.
Xiao Shi looked at the corpse under the tree with a dark expression.
This was a young man. His neck had been pierced by a sharp blade and he had been dead for a while.
This person was one of the members of their five-person team back then.
Xiao Shi’s eyes were cold. He felt even more anxious.
“I have to find the others as soon as possible!”
