Text Chapter 398: Horrifying Starfire Technique
A month later, Miao Yi calmed down again with a slightly excited mood, and found that the speed of refining the wish beads was not as fast as at the beginning. Although the fire spirit element was still absorbed into the source of law by himself, adding brilliance to the source of law, it was no longer possible to feel obvious progress every few days like at the beginning.
At the beginning, it took only more than ten days to reduce the speed of refining one from more than seven days to six days. Now it took more than a month to improve to five days.
However, there is one thing that is beyond doubt, that is, as long as the absorption of fire spirit element is maintained, the speed of refining the wish beads will continue to increase.
A year later, the white lotus with seven petals blooming in the center of Miao Yi's eyebrows suddenly stretched out a soft petal again, lifelike.
With a slight smile on his face, Miao Yi also slowly opened his eyes. He didn't expect that it took only one year to break through to the eighth level of white lotus.
It would have taken six or seven years, except for the nearly one year of cultivation in Zhenhai Mountain and the three years of hiding on the island. It would have taken almost three years to break through, but it took only a little over a year to break through. The speed of cultivation was more than doubled.
He closed his eyes silently and looked inward. As expected, the number of wish beads needed to break through to the ninth level doubled, which meant that he needed about 640 beads.
At this time, he had been sitting cross-legged here for more than a year without eating for a year. When he woke up from his cultivation, he felt a strong sense of hunger.
He was alone here and no one took care of him. When he was in Donglai Cave and Zhenhai Mountain, Qian'er and Xue'er visited and served him regularly. When he was hiding on the island to practice, Qi Xiuhong also took care of him. But now he relied on the support of magic power to resist for a year without eating a drop of water.
As soon as the magic power was withdrawn. His body function suddenly seemed very weak. With his current cultivation, it was obviously not enough to fast.
He stepped down from the throne, left the hall, and climbed back onto the round plate that looked like a jade ruyi, looking up at the exit.
Huoji Palace surrounded by flames. It is always so bright, there is no night, and the light reflected into the hall through the crystal wall is always so dreamy, but he does not know the rising and falling of the sun, moon and stars outside.
After a year of no one disturbing him, his uneasy mood has calmed down.
The demon king Liehuan has not returned to Huoji Palace for more than a year. It is obvious that the rules of the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Suppression Association are binding on Liehuan. It is estimated that the demon king Liehuan will not come back until the end of the rebellion suppression meeting. This means that he still has five or six years of peaceful life.
He turned back and got off the round plate, threw firewood and pots on the small square, and started to make food on the spot.
Cook a thick soup. Roast a large bunch of meat.
He found that he had not bathed for a year. Although his body was not dirty, he was sad about the psychological barrier, so he went to the harem and dragged out an exquisite bathtub made of top-quality jade from the room where the skirt had been torn. There was a woman's enchanting body embossed on it.
I don't know which woman it belongs to, anyway, he has seen it in the house before. Now that I think of it, I will borrow it.
After the food is ready, he pulled out a large cowhide bag from the storage ring and filled a large basin of water.
He did not find a water source in Huoji Palace, but fortunately, in order to prepare for the suppression of the rebellion, almost everyone prepared enough supplies to live for ten years, plus some of the previous seizures, there is no need to worry about the difficulty of living in Huoji Palace. If the demon king Liehuan is reluctant to come back, it will be no problem to stay for twenty or thirty years.
A board was placed on the tall bathtub, and the food was laid out. There was no shortage of fruits, and the preservation function of the storage ring was unquestionable. Two jars of fine wine were placed, and then he took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub.
It tasted good to eat, drink and take a bath at the same time. The meat bones that were eaten were thrown directly outside. The fruit cores that were eaten were no exception. The empty wine jar was thrown behind the head and broke into pieces with a snap.
The crystal clear, clean, tidy and solemn Huoji Palace Square was suddenly in a mess, with meat bones, fruit cores, broken wine jars, and burnt firewood.
Miao Yi didn't care. He might die at Lie Huan's hands anyway. He didn't come to clean Huoji Palace. If he couldn't leave, he would do it. If he could find a way to leave, he wouldn't mind helping Lie Huan clean up to save trouble.
Half a day later, Miao Yi ate all the hundreds of kilograms of food and compressed them in his stomach. It can be said that if he wants to eat, he will eat enough. This time, he will eat for a long time. He can't spend time to get food every day.
After eating and drinking, Miao Yi soaked in the bathtub and had a good sleep. After his body functions recovered to a full state, he cast a spell to clean the bathtub and pot. He would use them next time, and the dirty water flowed all over the floor.
He turned back and entered the hall again, sitting cross-legged on the throne to continue practicing.
The benefits of practicing the Star Fire Art in the Fire Palace are beyond words. The speed of refining the wish beads is increasing every moment. Although it is very slow, after a month of accumulation, the speed of progress is enough to make Miao Yi ecstatic, completely subverting the previous calculation method of the progress of cultivation.
The six hundred and forty wish beads were consumed after a year and a half, and the white lotus light and shadow between the eyebrows stretched out the ninth petal.
It only took a year and a half to break through from the eighth level of white lotus to the ninth level of white lotus. It was so fast that Miao Yi himself was shocked.
According to the calculation before he participated in the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Suppression Meeting, it would take at least more than ten years to break through from the eighth level to the ninth level. He thought this speed was fast enough among the cultivators of the same level, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
It was not until this moment that he saw the true horror of the ‘Star Fire Art’! Perhaps there are faster cultivation techniques at the same level, but the horror of the ‘Star Fire Art’ he practiced is that it can be continuously improved. No matter how powerful other people’s cultivation techniques are, they can only speed up again after breaking through to the next level, but his ‘Star Fire Art’ has no such limitation at all. As long as there are enough conditions, it will speed up every moment. It is simply unimaginable how terrifying it will be if it accumulates like this.
“Ah…” Miao Yi raised his arms and roared in the Huoji Palace, “Blue Lotus Realm! Blue Lotus Realm…”
The feeling of only one step away from entering the next great realm, and it is within reach without any problems, makes Miao Yi feel that all the suffering and hardships he has experienced before are worth it.
He quickly flashed out of the hall, continued to cook, and took a bath. He didn’t want to waste any time, and was eager to step into the realm he dreamed of. He has been staying in the White Lotus Realm for decades.
He really wanted to try what it was like to be in the Blue Lotus Realm that had always suppressed him so much that he couldn’t raise his head!
With the spear skills taught by Lao Bai, plus the magic weapon refined by Yao Ruoxian that can remove some of the attack power, and the cultivation level of Qinglian, facing any cultivator below Honglian, Miao Yi dared to fight alone!
There is also the Xuanyin Mirror. After reaching the Qinglian realm, the Xuanyin Mirror can be regarded as a truly handy magic weapon!
Maybe then he can use the Xuanyin Mirror to help him escape from here smoothly and avoid being caught by the demon king Liehuan. As long as he escapes, he doesn't believe that the demon king Liehuan can count that he has been here.
So he quickly left a pile of garbage outside the hall and quickly rushed back to the throne of the hall to confirm the number of wish beads in his storage bracelet.
From the ninth level of white lotus to the first level of blue lotus, the required wish beads doubled again, requiring 1,280, nearly 1,300.
When he left Zhenhai Mountain, he left most of the wish beads behind and only took about 4,000 with him.
Although there were many spoils in the Red Scarf League, the number of wish beads seized was pitiful, and there was even less to share. The main reason was that everyone had no chance to practice peacefully in Xingxiu Sea, and everyone only prepared some to restore mana. A large number of wish beads were useless in Xingxiu Sea, so most people exchanged the wish beads for things that could save their lives.
However, when Zhao Lingtu and his brothers were suddenly killed, more than 2,000 wish beads and more than 300 "positioning bracelets" were looted from Zhao Lingtu, which were probably looted by Zhao Lingtu from others.
At that time, he was busy escaping, and after giving the Zhenshan Hammer and Linghuan Ruler to Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei, the two were already satisfied and refused to share other things with him, so the wish beads and other things on Zhao Lingtu and his brothers were all in his hands.
In this way, with the 4,000 or so wish beads he originally brought, there were about 6,400 of them. Excluding the 900 or so wish beads consumed in breaking through to the ninth level of White Lotus in the Fire Palace, there were still about 5,500.
In this way, consuming 1,280 wish beads to break through to the first level of Blue Lotus can still leave more than 4,000 beads, even if the 2,560 beads to break through to the second level of Blue Lotus are counted, it is enough to cope with it. It is unlikely to break through to the third level of Blue Lotus again, and the wish beads required to break through that level are as high as more than 5,000.
Miao Yi was glad that he brought thousands of wish beads to Xingxiu Sea, otherwise he would really miss this opportunity.
After confirming that he had food in his hand, his mood quickly calmed down and he quickly entered the state of cultivation...
Outside the island of Kongyan Mountain, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, hurricanes and heavy rains on the sea, and huge waves rolled. Not far from the island, a dragon colt and a giant octopus were entangled and rolling together.
The dragon colt with strange red eyes bit a tentacle frantically, shook its head, and the sharp saw teeth directly tore off one of the octopus's tentacles. It turned back and bit another tentacle and shook its head again, tore off another tentacle. At the same time, it desperately kicked the octopus's body with its four hooves, fighting madly with the octopus in the sea.
The dragon colt's leg strength can be imagined, let alone this dragon colt with strange red eyes. It was not the first time that the giant octopus hunted the dragon colt, but it did not expect to encounter such a difficult and fierce dragon colt. The giant octopus was kicked and split in pain, and quickly retracted its entangled tentacles and dived into the deep water.
The dragon colt was extremely fierce, shaking its head and tail and diving into the sea, and also quickly drilled down. The red light emitted by its strange eyes in the sea water seemed a bit creepy, chasing the octopus that wanted to hunt it.
