After Yang Qi finished refining the top-grade divine crystals in his body, everyone went to the crystal beast's nest again to start hunting crystal beasts. This time, not only did they need to hunt down the eighty-one top-grade divine crystals needed to leave, but they also needed to hunt down more than thirty crystal beasts for Yang Qi in case of emergency.
After being strengthened by the Purple Blue Divine Crystal, everyone's strength has improved a bit. Even normal force attacks can barely hurt the crystal beast, but it is still very difficult to kill the crystal beast. After all, the extreme strengthening of Purple Blue does not mean that the physical body has reached the extreme, but that the strengthening effect of the Purple Blue Divine Crystal has reached the extreme.
If the physical body is strengthened to the extreme, it is impossible for practitioners who are good at body refining and those who are not good at body refining to only be able to refine the same purple-blue divine crystal.
"I didn't expect that my strength could be improved so much in just a few days. The Purple-Blue Divine Crystal is really magical." Zheng Jie said with emotion.
It only took nine days to refine all nine top-grade divine crystals, which was too short for a martial king cultivator. However, nine days could improve one's strength so much, which was incredible even for the knowledgeable Zheng Jie.
“That’s because top-grade divine crystals are very easy for you fellow Taoists to obtain. Practitioners in the Purple Blue Continent usually start refining from the lowest-grade Purple Blue Divine Crystals to reduce consumption, but in the end it is still difficult to gather the required top-grade divine crystals. Most practitioners, even those who control an entire city, can only achieve a certain degree of the effect of the Purple Blue Divine Crystal in strengthening the physical body.” Shi Zhong said.
The Purple Blue Continent is not short of Purple Blue Divine Crystals, but it is short of high-grade Purple Blue Divine Crystals, which is the fundamental reason that troubles the development of the cultivation world in the Purple Blue Continent. Otherwise, with rare treasures like the Purple Blue Divine Crystals, plus the foundation of the Purple Blue Continent that has existed for countless years, it will inevitably become an extremely powerful cultivation force. However, the Purple Blue Continent is still only a cultivation world at the level of a martial king, and there are only a few people at the peak of the martial king level.
Yang Qi and others also understood Shi Zhong's words. The Purple Blue Divine Crystal was a special cultivation resource unique to the Purple Blue Continent, but it was also a resource that restricted their development. Perhaps sometimes the cultivators of the Purple Blue Continent would rather not have such rare treasures as the Purple Blue Divine Crystal, and only hoped that they could travel the universe as soon as they entered the Martial King Realm like other cultivation worlds.
The operation of hunting crystal beasts went very smoothly. After all, Yang Qi and others had experience in hunting crystal beasts before. With Shi Zhong's help, hunting crystal beasts naturally became very easy.
In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Yang Qi and others had already harvested more than sixty top-grade divine crystals, and their efficiency was even faster than before.
As Yang Qi and his companions continued to hunt, the nearby crystal beasts were basically slaughtered by them. They could only go to other areas to hunt crystal beasts. The crystal beasts were inexhaustible, and when one died, another would be born. However, the crystal beasts were not born immediately, but nine days later, and the place of birth was not the place where the crystal beast died, but deep in the crystal beast's nest. After the crystal beast was born, it would pass through the four-generation passages from the depths of the crystal beast's nest and appear in the entire crystal beast's nest.
Chen Jie put away the four top-grade divine crystals and chuckled, "Yes, four more top-grade divine crystals, making it seventy now."
Crystal beasts are not social creatures, but sometimes there will be multiple crystal beasts acting together. The most crystal beasts that Yang Qi and his companions encountered was six crystal beasts. In the end, they spent a lot of effort to kill six crystal beasts. After all, only Yang Qi and Zhao Hong can kill crystal beasts with soul means, and soul attack means consume energy. Once the energy is exhausted, the soul means cannot be used.
"Um?"
Yang Qi was about to speak, but his eyebrows raised, he looked into the depths of the passage, and said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming!"
Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, but they didn't care too much. During this period of hunting crystal beasts, they also encountered many practitioners from the Purple Blue Continent. After all, there are hundreds of martial kings in the Purple Blue Continent. However, because of Shi Zhong, those practitioners retreated when they saw them from afar, and didn't dare to have any thoughts about them.
The interior of the Purple-Blue Continent is very stable, and the rule of the Eighty-One Cities has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, in the crystal beast nests, it is not so peaceful, and fights for crystal beasts and even the Purple-Blue Divine Crystals occasionally break out.
As Yang Qi finished speaking, everyone soon felt five or six powerful auras appear in their perception, and these auras were heading towards the location of Yang Qi and others.
"Is it him?"
Shi Zhong raised his eyebrows. Among the several auras that came, there was one that he was very familiar with, but he did not expect that the other party would appear here.
A moment later, several figures walked out from the depths of the passage and appeared in the sight of Yang Qi and others.
The man in gorgeous clothes at the head looked at Shi Zhong and chuckled, "Brother Shi, it really is you."
"I didn't expect to meet Brother Mu here. It seems I have to visit him in Tianmu City some other day." Shi Zhong said with a faint smile.
Tianmu City, Mu family!
Following Shi Zhong's words, Yang Qi and others also understood the identities of the visitors. The leading man was the head of the Mu family in Tianmu City and the city lord of Tianmu City, Mu Xian, who was also a cultivator at the peak of the Martial King level.
"Brother Shi, you are too polite. Who are these people?" Mu Xian smiled slightly, and then his gaze fell on Yang Qi and others. With his cultivation level, he could naturally feel that Yang Qi and others were not weaker than him, at the peak of Martial King!
The twelve peak martial kings
You know, there are obviously only a few martial king peak practitioners in the Purple Blue Continent, and he doesn't know any of these martial king peak practitioners in front of him. How can he not be surprised
"Brother Mu, can't you guess where they came from?" Shi Zhong said with a smile.
Mu Xian's eyes fixed, and he immediately asked in a deep voice, "Are they from a hidden family?"
"Apart from the secluded family, who else could gather so many peak martial kings?" Shi Zhong said calmly.
Although Mu Xian's strength is not weaker than Shi Zhong, the Mu family's foundation cannot be compared with that of the Shi family. Naturally, he does not know as many secrets as Shi Zhong. He instinctively regards Yang Qi and others as practitioners from a hidden family.
"So many powerful people from hidden families have appeared in the world. They don't want to..."
Mu Xian's gaze fell on Yang Qi and the others, and then his pupils suddenly shrank. So many peak Martial King practitioners came to the crystal beast's nest, obviously to hunt crystal beasts. There was only one possibility that could mobilize so many powerful people from the hidden family!
Leave the Purple Blue Continent!
Mu Xian also had some vague knowledge about how the Martial King Realm could leave the Purple Blue Continent. Combined with the appearance of Yang Qi and others, he naturally thought that the other party was preparing to try to leave the Purple Blue Continent.
"Brother Shi, I will come to Qingyan City to visit you another day." Mu Xian hurriedly bowed to Shi Zhong, and then led his practitioners to the depths of the passage, disappearing from the sight of Yang Qi and others. (To be continued)
