Chapter 371: 371
Xue Wei contemplated for a short while, before he said, "I think that we will continue to hunt for resources . I entered the Ascended Realm with a group from the Demon Phoenix Continent, all of which were Vermilion Birds .
"Unfortunately, due to some danger we encountered on the way, we had no chance but to split up . Since that is the case, it would be ideal if we can meet up with them again . Hence I suggest we move towards the place where Summer meets Spring . That was our original purpose .
"I know that Autumn is where the spiritual fruits are, and while spiritual fruits are great, I am more interested in the herbs . Herbs can be concocted into medicine, it can be consumed raw, and while the spiritual fruits mainly help with cultivation base, the herbs can assist in many other ways that can help us with our strength and elemental affinities .
"So we are going towards the southeast . If you want to follow, then you are more than welcome, but if you’d rather go for some spiritual fruits, then I would suggest we split up here . "
Xue Wei was not interested in splitting up with Wang Xiaoyun, but he understood that he could not force his idea down on them, they had the right to choose their own path .
"We will follow you . " While all of them were slightly intrigued by the Spiritual fruits, all of them were aware that they needed a certain strength to get these items .
If they were to split up now, then not only would they be an easier target to others, they would also lose out on a great learning experience since staying with Xue Wei taught them many things .
Also, one had to be alive to enjoy the benefits . Only by staying together with Xue Wei and his friends did they sense that they had a chance of survival .
Looking at them all, and seeing the determination in their eyes, a smile erupted on Xue Wei’s lips . "Good," he said happily . Wang Xiaoyun was not leaving him for a bit longer, at least .
Taking out the flying vessel again, all of them went on board, and Xue Wei began cultivating .
The Bloodletting had caused him to get an increase in his strength . He was not sure how much of an advance he had gotten, but he was inquisitive .
Sitting down cross-legged, he found the blood bead within his dantian, constantly releasing wave after wave of Qi .
The Qi then turned into a mixture of small azure dragons and small vermilion feathers that roamed through his veins and in his dantian . The Qi was being changed to become his own .
Sensing that he could convert the blood bead into his own Qi, Xue Wei did not hesitate to start refining the blood bead, and his cultivation level soared at an alarming speed .
Although he had only managed to take a fraction of strength from the Scarlet Bee Queen, this fraction was equivalent to one layer of cultivation for her, so she had dropped to the eight layer of the Earth Saint rank .
This one layer’s strength was, of course, a great pain for her to lose, but to Xue Wei, it was a notable and rather frightening increase in power .
Soon he broke through to the next layer . Still, the blood bead had not lost its energy yet, even more, was hidden inside, and Xue Wei continued to absorb it, feeling how his bones and every cell in his body were being nurtured by the immense amount of Qi that was pouring into him .
It was not before he broke through to the first layer of the Earth Saint rank, that the energy slowly subsided .
Such a massive boost in strength was terrific, but Xue Wei also understood that this was not the best time to have such a boost .
It was just recently that he was promoted into the Ordinary Saint rank, he had not had enough time to fully get used to being a Saint, and while he had fought some battles, it was not enough .
Realizing that his foundations might become unstable, Xue Wei was in deep thought and deeply considering what to do .
Understanding Xue Wei’s plight, Bai Tianyi, who was seated by his side, said casually . "I got a technique which will allow you to put seals on your cultivation base . The highest amount of seals one can have is nine . When you have nine seals, all your strength will be pressed together . Although your cultivation base will be lower than it is now, it will be better battle efficiency, and it will cause your foundations to be solid as a rock . "
"Why did you not mention it before?" Xue Wei asked perplexed, but Bai Tianyi just spread his arms, "you need an unstable foundation for it to work . Up until now, that has never been an issue for you . "
Xue Wei nodded his head . "I’ll give it a try," he said and looked at Bai Tianyi, who raised a finger and a stream of light shot into his mind . The technique was imparted directly into the innermost thoughts .
Taking a deep breath, Xue Wei began creating the seals on his body . The first seal was placed on his chest, it was hard to create as it was made from Qi, but after attempting it a few times, a weak seal appeared on his skin .
Soon after, the seal turned much more real, as he marked the second seal on top of the first .
Like this, a week went by, and during this week, no one disturbed Xue Wei . They could all feel that his cultivation base was dropping more and more as time went by, but the expression on his face was filled with happiness .
