108 The Final Slaughter (1)
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since Xiao Shi and the others entered the Seven Star Holy Land.
The battle was going on all the time. Many people die every day. Compared to the cruel killing outside, Xiao Shi and the others in the secret place were very relaxed. There was no need to compete with others, nor was there a need to experience any killing. As long as they stayed in their respective areas, they could endlessly obtain the special aura and heavenly treasures that others dreamed of.
Although there would also be special auras and natural treasures outside, there were extremely few of them. Every such fortuitous opportunity would definitely cause a large-scale battle. Moreover, most of the gains would ultimately fall into the hands of those powerful Major Perfection Qi Martial cultivators.
If not for this secret place, be it the squinty-eyed man and Fan Li at the early-stage Qi Martial Realm, or Cen Qingci and the other two who had just entered the Qi Martial Realm, it was impossible for them to obtain a special aura.
The harvest in the secret place made them extremely excited. They knew that this was an opportunity to change their fates. Through the special aura in their respective areas, they continuously activated Qi vortexes.
Lunar Region.
Boom!!
Xiao Shi’s body trembled violently. A terrifying collision sounded from his body. When he controlled a ball of Lunar Qi and collided with the Qi Lock, it only caused a crack in the Qi Lock and did not shatter.
Now, he had already activated fifteen Qi Vortexes. He was in the process of opening the sixteenth Qi vortex. However, the difficulty of opening this Qi vortex was far greater than the previous Qi vortexes.
The main reason was because the Qi Lock that sealed this Qi vortex was much stronger than the previous Qi Locks.
The previous Qi Locks were basically shattered with a single hit. Occasionally, some relatively strong Qi Locks would shatter under three to five collisions. But now, Xiao Shi felt that he had to hit it at least ten times before there was a possibility of shattering this Qi Lock.
This was the sturdiest Qi Lock to date. And ten collisions required at least ten balls of Lunar Qi. After all, each ball of Lunar Qi was only enough for one collision.
This amount of Lunar Qi made Xiao Shi’s heart ache, even with his gains here.
“The plants in my area need a total of fifteen days to complete their growth. Moreover, I can only harvest thirty balls of Lunar Qi at a time.”
Xiao Shi originally thought that the activation of the Qi vortex would be the same as before. A ball of Lunar Qi could activate a Qi vortex. He was still thinking that these thirty balls of Lunar Qi could directly allow him to activate thirty Lunar Qi vortexes and step into the early-stage Qi Martial realm.
However, as he continued to open, he realized that there were only a few Qi Locks that could be broken by a ball of Lunar Qi among the hundred Qi Locks in his body. The remaining Qi Locks could not be broken by a ball of Lunar Qi. Now, a Qi Lock that required at least ten balls of Lunar Qi to break appeared.
Xiao Shi smiled bitterly in his heart.
There were only four left from the thirty balls of Lunar Qi he had obtained previously. Clearly, these four balls of Lunar Qi were not enough to break through this Qi Lock. However, when he looked around at the plants that were about to complete the second round of growth, he was relieved.
After fifteen days of growth, the plants here would wither after forming the Lunar Qi. Then, new plants would begin to grow again.
In other words, every fourteen days here, he could obtain thirty balls of Lunar Qi. The plants in the other areas grew much slower than Xiao Shi’s. They needed twenty days to complete one growth cycle.
At the same time, in terms of the number of special auras, they were far inferior to Xiao Shi. They could only obtain twenty balls of special auras at a time.
Currently, they had already stayed in the secret place for twenty-seven days. There was still one day left. Xiao Shi could carry out the second round of harvest. The others had to wait until the 40th day to obtain the second round of harvest.
“I should be able to open twenty Qi vortexes after the second round.”
Using a special aura to activate the Qi vortex would be relatively fast at the beginning. Those loose Qi Locks often only needed a special aura to break through. However, as it continued to open, the special aura required by the subsequent firm Qi Locks would increase.
The difficulty of activating it would only increase. Even if it was thirty balls of Lunar Qi, Xiao Shi felt that he could only activate five Qi vortexes at most.
Apart from the activation of the Qi vortex, Xiao Shi was also cultivating the Nine Vajra Body through the heavenly treasures he had obtained. The cultivation of the Nine Vajra Body was mainly divided into three steps.
Vajra Skin, Vajra Tendon, Vajra Bone.
Now that he had cultivated the Vajra Skin, Xiao Shi began to cultivate the Vajra Tendon. The heavenly treasures needed to cultivate the Vajra Tendon were clearly much more than the Vajra Skin.
At this moment, Xiao Shi had already refined twenty heavenly treasures in a row. However, he was only halfway through the cultivation of the Vajra Tendon.
“Based on the current situation, at least forty heavenly treasures are needed to cultivate the Vajra Tendon.”
Xiao Shi felt the difficulty.
To obtain so many heavenly treasures, he could only wait for the next round of harvest. Moreover, it had to be the next round in the other areas.
Just the next round in the Lunar region was definitely not enough. After all, the twenty heavenly treasures he had refined were not only the heavenly treasures born in his area, but also the heavenly treasures in other areas.
