Chapter 341: Central Prefecture Trial, Using Money to Buy Life! (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The young man in the Daoist robe felt the Divine Seed completely fuse with Han Zhao’s body and become one with his blood qi and true qi. He calmed down.
Things went much smoother than he had expected, but the outcome did meet his expectations.
The Seed of Divine Power could be used repeatedly.
After the Martial Saint died, his Seed of Divine Power could be refined by martial artists who cultivated the same cultivation method and condensed the same Lesser Divine Power.
However, it was very difficult for its power to surpass that of its predecessors. Of course, the advantages were also very obvious. After refining the previous divine seed, the difficulty and risk of condensing a Lesser Divine Power would be greatly reduced.
As for the White Seed of Divine Power, it was a “Flawless Seed” that no one had used before. A high-grade “Flawless Seed’! was a treasure that martial artists dreamed of.
If there was a flaw, it was that when a high-grade Divine Seed condensed a
Lesser Divine Power, it needed to consume more mental power and Astral Qi. Martial artists without enough talent might greatly reduce their cultivation speed when refining a high-grade Flawless Seed.
However, to a proud genius martial artist like Han Zhao, if not for the Flawless Seed, he probably would not have chosen it at all.
When a martial artist reached the Fiend Condensation Realm, their lifespan could reach 300 years. Every time they condensed a type of fiendish qi, they would have another 10 years of lifespan. The theoretical limit of the Seven Fiend Martial Saint’s lifespan was 450 years. Unless they cultivated an extremely precious Life Extension cultivation method or consumed a Life Extension Spirit Pill, it was very difficult for them to live longer.
However, most of the Life Extension cultivation methods were weaker than cultivation methods of the same level. Astral Qi and blood qi were used to nourish one’s health and life Extension, so their combat strength was naturally not very high. If they encountered battles and opportunities, it was very easy to miss them.
As for the Life Extension Spirit Pill, not to mention that spiritual herbs could only be chanced upon by luck, just finding a high-grade alchemist and successfully refining it required a lot of luck. Even a super-grade alchemist did not dare to say that he would definitely succeed in refining a cauldron of high-grade pills. Moreover, martial arts was weak now. There was probably no super-grade alchemist in the entire East Victory Continent.
“Han Zhao, don’t blame me. There’s no hope for martial arts anymore.” Seeing Han Zhao close his eyes and sense the Divine Seed in his body, the young man in the Daoist robe sighed in his heart.
Back then, he thought that he could become a martial artist because of his talent.
However, he ascended the Qian Heaven Ranking but did not obtain the Qian Heaven Essence Qi. Later on, in the competition of the Yin and Yang Palace, he also missed the chance to go to the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven.
Now that his lifespan was about to end, in order to extend his lifespan, he had no choice but to agree to the Cao Family’s conditions.
In any case, joining an aristocratic family might not be a bad thing for Han
Zhao.
“Thank you, Senior!” Han Zhao activated the Divine Seed in his body with Astral Qi and placed it in his dantian. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed to the young man in the Daoist robe.
It would be a waste not to take the benefits that he had obtained. He would settle the score at the end.
“Little Friend Han, you’re too polite. The Central Prefecture Trial will begin next month. Go back and regulate your breathing and prepare.”
Sensing Han Zhao’s ‘sincere’ gratitude, a trace of guilt flashed across the young man’s heart. After all, he could be considered to have destroyed the future of a martial artist.
However, when he thought about how the benefits given by the Cao Family could allow him to extend his life and even successfully break through to the Seven Fiend Realm, the guilt in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace.
“I’ll take my leave.” Han Zhao cupped his hands and turned to go downstairs.
Han Zhao noticed that the way the passing apprentices looked at him had changed.
Perhaps it was because they recognized him, or perhaps the news of him injuring Li Gang had spread.
However, this was not important.
The important thing was that he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
He had obtained a high-grade Divine Seed for nothing!
Taking out 2 million taels of gold and a high-grade Divine Seed, other than Han Zhao, who could spend money because of the system, the other martial artists would almost choose the Divine Seed without hesitation. This was because such a treasure could not be bought with money.
Han Zhao had learned through the Qi family’s connections that the Divine Seeds that could be bought were all low-grade without exception.
As for middle-grade Divine Seeds, almost all of them were monopolized by aristocratic families.
If he wanted a high-quality Divine Seed, he could only explore deserted mystic realms and find the cave abodes where the previous martial artists had passed away. However, these places were basically very dangerous.
Finally, they had to join a large martial arts sect or head to the martial arts Holy Land in the outer seas.
However, he had to use an ultra-long-distance teleportation array to go to the outer seas. If he took a boat and encountered demon beasts in the sea, his life and death would depend on fate.
Han Zhao left the entrance of the martial arts academy and called for a carriage. He rushed back to the restaurant and returned to his room, closing the door tightly.
[Seed of Divine Power: High-grade (320/1,000), Upgradeable; Lesser Divine
Power: None; Special Effect: Increase the power of Lesser Divine Power by 0.32]
“The upper limit is 1,000. Could it be that there are top-grade Divine Seeds above high-grade Divine Seeds?”
Han Zhao looked at the data on the system interface and suddenly had a bold idea.
It was not that the quality of the Divine Seed could not be increased, but it required a martial artist to absorb the Divine Seed into their body and use a large amount of blood qi and true qi to water it. However, this increase was very inconspicuous, so almost no martial artist would try it.
This was because once a Divine Seed entered the body, it would carry the aura of a specific martial artist. Unless others cultivated the same cultivation method, the quality would decrease after refining it.
“In the past, I wouldn’t have been able to take out so many attribute points at all. However, this Central Prefecture Trial is a godsend opportunity!’
Han Zhao’s eyes lit up. Perhaps he would never have such a good opportunity to harvest Yin energy again.
If he raised this high-grade Seed of Divine Power to the limit, the power of his Lesser Divine Power would double.
If they did not fight directly, no one would dare to imagine that he would have such a fortuitous encounter.
In the previous simulations, as long as Han Zhao went to the Heavenly Saint
Sect after the Central Prefecture Trial, he would be surrounded by the
Hundred Spirit Sect, the Murong aristocratic family, the Longevity Sect, the Nine Nether Mansion, and other factions. At most, he would send out experts with a difference in strength, but he basically could not avoid them..
