Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 265 Approaching
Flowing Sand City.

Qi Lingyun arrived in just 4 hours.

The location of the transaction between the two parties...

It is not far from the entrance to the ruins of Yindu.

The transaction proceeded without any surprises.

Qi Lingyun handed two purple source crystals to Ji Fuyou.

As promised, Ji Fuyou handed over the Great Healing Spell and the Dragon Ring.

After the inspection was completed, Qi Lingyun smiled and said, "Transaction complete."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

Seeing that Ji Fuyou was about to leave with the Source Crystal, Qi Lingyun asked, "Master Ji, has the Ink Dragon Blade considered making a move?"

"We have no plans to make a move at the moment."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"The Ink Dragon Blade, renowned for its power, is considered the strongest martial arts weapon outside of the Judgment Divine Iron category. If Master Ji were a Martial Saint, wielding such a weapon would not only be harmless but would also add to his intimidation. However, Master Ji is a master of spirit..."

As Qi Lingyun spoke, he directly took out a card: "His Excellency the President promised that if Master Ji is willing to go to Tiandu City, he will use all his power to protect you. Two foreign martial saints do not have the guts to come to our Tiandu City to assassinate the spiritual master of our Federation. You might as well consider it."

Ji Fuyou looked at the card and clearly understood Qi Lingyun's meaning.

His biggest problem right now is that he hasn't clearly chosen to side with any of the four factions.

This is precisely why King Equality and King Sun dared to plot against him.

If he has already joined one of the four major factions, this kind of thing will not happen.

These two martial saints cannot afford to provoke the Federation's wrath.

Qi Lingyun said he would protect him, and Ji Fuyou had no doubt that he had the ability.

But the prerequisite is that he must clearly state his position and stand with the president.

He reached out and took the card.

"I will consider."

"So……"

Qi Lingyun smiled upon hearing Ji Fuyou's reply.

To remain aloof and uninvolved?

Once you enter the world, you have no choice.

How can this world allow you to remain untainted?
However, he didn't say anything more.

Ji Fuyou is too young after all.

Don't hit the wall and don't look back.

"I'm waiting for news from Master Ji."

After Qi Lingyun finished speaking, he turned and left.

……

Ji Fuyou quickly returned to the villa.

Here, Yang Kaitai and his group packed their belongings and were fully armed to prevent any accidents from happening during the transaction.

Seeing Ji Fuyou return safely, the group breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Don't worry."

Ji Fuyou said, "Whether it's the president's faction or the factions of the third and fourth speakers, they are all trying to get me to state my position. Before I truly state my position, they may not give me any extra help, but they will definitely not take action against me, so as not to force me to the other side."

Yang Kaitai and the others nodded. "That's good."

"Captain, now that the transaction is complete, let's refine the Spirit Source Crystal and the Body Source Crystal. We'll protect you."

Liu Yiren said.

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou wouldn't mind spending an hour or two.

The group quickly left the room and became fully alert outside.

Ji Fuyou immediately took out the purple spiritual source crystal.

No hesitation.

He quickly refined the purple spiritual crystal.

That feeling of my soul being frozen quickly surged into my heart.

However, having learned from his previous experience, Ji Fuyou had developed sufficient resistance to this feeling.

He could even vaguely sense that in this frozen state of his soul, some new power was breaking ground and sprouting deep within his soul, forming a more powerful spiritual force to nourish himself.

While a physical strength stat of 35 won't bring any other changes, mental strength does undergo a slight alteration at this stage.

This change is not as significant as when the spiritual value increases to 25, transforming from spiritual to divine consciousness, nor is it a direct qualitative change at 30. However, this stage of spiritual change endows the cultivator with spiritual vitality.

It's a feeling that can't be described.

It was as if spiritual power had come to life at that moment.

This activity, combined with a certain special factor existing in the mist, can reveal all sorts of incredible mysteries.

The illusions created by the Illusionary Shadowless Technique can become incredibly lifelike through this kind of mental activity.

Some people can even use this mental property to manifest clones that appear indistinguishable from real people at first glance.

However, since this "activity" only reveals its wonders in the mist, many spiritual masters do not feel that their spiritual values ​​will change after reaching 35.

But by utilizing these "activities"...

The various methods employed by spiritual masters can manifest even more powerful changes.

"I finally understand why the Blazing Sun Sword Technique and the Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique both require a mental value of 35 seconds before they can be used. The key lies in this 'active' factor. The reason why the visualized blazing sun can show a real flame form when the sword is drawn when the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is used is because mental power gives activity to a certain factor in the mist, making it burn."

Just like...

He imbued the mist with life, causing it to burn in the form of flames and adhere to the sword, forming the Blazing Sun Sword Technique.

"The same applies to the Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique. The reason why this secret technique can awaken the Qilin bloodline in the body of a strange beast without causing it to go berserk and out of control is also due to the 'activity' in the spiritual power. This 'activity' guides them to undergo abnormal changes in a good direction, rather than mutating into some invincible monsters."

After figuring out the principles behind these two divine skills, Ji Fuyou turned his attention back to the purple physique source crystal.

In theory...

This purple physique source crystal should be able to raise his physique stat to 40.1, or at most 40.2!

However, considering the significant hurdle of condensing a "life force field" between the Grandmaster and Martial Saint levels, he didn't believe he could smoothly take that step. Even though he had been trying to break through his life limits using the final disintegration technique of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

"This purple physique source crystal should only be able to raise my physique stats to the threshold of Martial Saint. To truly become a Martial Saint... I still need one more."

While pondering, he quickly began refining the purple physique source crystal.

The refining process can be described as physical body reshaping.

Having grown accustomed to the changes brought about by the final disintegration of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, he was able to calmly face these changes.

"As expected."

Ji Fuyou felt the strengthening effect of the purple physique source crystal energy on himself.

When he reached the ultimate level of enhancement, he clearly felt a brand new power surging within his body.

But to fully shape this force...

He not only needs to coordinate his own strength, blood, and life, but also needs to explore and stimulate the deeper potential of his physical body.

By the time the purple physique crystal delivered him to the threshold of condensing this power, it had already consumed most of its power, leaving only a fraction of its strength remaining...

It seems there's no way to continue.

Even if he had a sliver of strength left, Ji Fuyou dared not attempt it lightly.

The bottleneck of the life force field is much more difficult to break through than the qualitative change of the spiritual force.

Half an hour later, the spiritual source crystal and the physical source crystal settled down.

……

"Mental strength: 36.2 points; Physical strength: 39.9 points!"

Ji Fuyou quietly sensed the changes within himself.

Especially the power of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique...

"Finally, we have a way to directly threaten a Martial Saint."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

but……

not enough.

Even with the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, he can only ensure that he has the ability to directly threaten a Martial Saint, at most changing his previous chance of winning from nine out of ten to fifty-fifty, or even forty-six out of ten.

Ideally, one should obtain another purple physique source crystal to advance to the Martial Saint level.

He already had an idea about this purple physique source crystal.

He stretched himself a little and then left the villa.

Upon seeing him emerge, the group quickly surrounded him: "Captain, did the refining go smoothly?"

"Well, refining the source crystal shouldn't lead to any unexpected problems."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"It's good that you're alright. Shall we head to Starlight City now?"

"There's no need to go to Starlight City. I have other tasks for you."

Ji Fuyou said, "You should know about the legends of dragons, phoenixes and unicorns in other worlds. I hope you will split into four groups and go to the various forbidden lands of mist to capture some creatures that you think have a strong unicorn bloodline."

"Qilin bloodline?"

The group of people were slightly taken aback.

"I have a skill that can induce and mutate creatures containing the bloodline of the Qilin to become like the divine beast Qilin."

Ji Fuyou explained briefly: "The higher the bloodline of the Qilin is contained in an animal, the better the fertility-inducing effect."

"I understand. If it's about the Qilin bloodline... the red muntjacs over at Tianji Ridge should contain a considerable amount of Qilin bloodline."

Fang Qiyun said.

“I’m going to check out the Black and White Sand Sea. There’s a kind of black wolf there that’s quite powerful among the beasts. Maybe it’s because of its Qilin bloodline that it has such abilities.”

Yang Kaitai echoed.

"Then I'll go to the Misty Forest. There's a kind of antlered deer in the Misty Forest. Although it's not very strong, it's extremely similar to the Qilin in mythology."

"I'm going to Azure Lake? The fish-men there raise a type of war beast called the Scaled Beast, which is quite powerful."

Xiao Hanxue and Liu Yiren also spoke up.

"Go quickly and come back soon. I'll be waiting for you in Longshou Town."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"it is good."

Yang Kaitai and the others quickly left.

Ji Fuyou, carrying a series of spoils and two newly exchanged red spirit crystals, headed straight for Dragon Head Town.

Upon arriving in Longshou Town, Ji Fuyou immediately summoned Lu Chang'an.

"Sword Master Lu, the time has come to test your abilities."

He took out the dragon spine he had obtained from the evil black serpent: "Is there any problem refining it into a flying sword?"

“This material…”

Even with his limited experience, Lu Chang'an could still discern the extraordinary nature of this material: "I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp the mystique within it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Fuyou had already handed him the Spirit Source Crystal he had obtained from the Evil Black Serpent and the Spirit Source Crystal he had exchanged for.

"Three red spirit crystals will raise your spirit value to 26 or even 27 without any problem. In this way, your weakness in spirit will be completely made up."

"This……"

Lu Chang'an knew that Ji Fuyou had invested all sorts of precious resources in nurturing him, but now that even the red spiritual source crystal had been brought out, he still felt a tightness in his chest.

The next moment, he solemnly accepted the spiritual source crystal and the dragon spine: "I will not disappoint Master Ji."

"Go, as soon as possible."

Ji Fuyou Road.

The skill "Awakening Divine Beast Bloodline"...

It seems to be more powerful than he imagined.

If its effects are truly as he understood from the inherited crystal, then poisoning and strengthening the Fertile Lord will no longer be a pipe dream.
