Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 324 Divine Water
Back at Yunjing Garden, Ji Fuyou spent half a day dealing with some trivial matters.

The implementation of the state chaplaincy system is now out in the open.

Although the official appointments have not yet been announced, well-informed people have already accepted the impending change.

As a result, many people have already visited Starlight City in advance to express their loyalty.

Besides Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian, Xue Changfeng, Wu Sheng, Xiang Dongliu, Xie Yusheng, Hong Tianwen, and others would frequently appear before Ji Fuyou under the guise of reporting on their work, just to become familiar with him.

During this time, Ji Fuyou also met Luo Suyu, Shi Guanxing, Lei Yue and others.

Although Ji Fuyou is now undoubtedly the number one in the Federation, and even the number one in Crimson Star, the allure of the Heavenly Rank is too great.

Luo Suyu and her group of people who possessed the Heavenly Rank still had to be careful to prevent anyone from taking risks, and they spent most of their time in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley mining area.

Fortunately, during this time, they hunted down a large number of corpse demons in the valley mining area and obtained a lot of white and blue inheritance crystals.

When they handed these crystals to Ji Fuyou, Ji Fuyou also gave them a lot of red physique source crystals.

Today, this generation of people all possess master-level physiques.

Furthermore, Ji Fuyou passed on the Divine Strength Cultivation Method to them for free. Currently, Shi Guanxing, who is the fastest progressing and is already a master-level martial artist, has already entered the Divine Strength realm.

That's why they came specifically to express their gratitude to Ji Fuyou.

After dealing with all these matters, big and small, Ji Fuyou took out the golden physique source crystal and began his seclusion again.

……

Having fought the living statue of the Mayan leader, and having honed his spirit by refining the golden physique source crystal, he managed to break free from the great joy and emotion of bathing in starlight in just over half a month.

During this process, not only was his spirit tempered once again, but his physical strength also increased to 46.3!

……

"Vitality has exceeded 700."

Ji Fuyou sensed the changes within himself.

Then, he seemed to realize something.

Quickly draw upon your life force and enter a state of communion with nature.

Under this communion between heaven and man, it seems that not only attacks and movement techniques take on a mysterious charm, but even the transformation of life force becomes more fluid.

Just like going downstream, you can drive more life force with less effort.

Moreover, compared to the 25% life force utilization rate when he first broke through to the Heavenly Rank, his life force utilization rate has now climbed to 26%!

"This growth is due in part to my experience of a life-or-death battle, which gave me a completely new understanding of vitality. Another reason... is that bathing in starlight and fighting against the lingering thoughts of the great ones has made my own will more refined..."

Ji Fuyou understood immediately.

"The Origin Crystal is truly mysterious and incredible. No wonder Yuan Xing felt that the invasion of the Mist Beast was both a danger and an opportunity."

People in Rainbow Sun City need to train for more than ten or even decades to achieve a master-level physique, while on Crimson Star, as long as there are enough source crystals, a master-level martial artist can be created in a single day.

"The people of Rainbow Sun City could also retaliate, storm into Blood Moon Canyon, and obtain the Source Crystal... But if they do that... Failure would mean the destruction of Rainbow Sun City, and even if they succeed, a creature far more powerful than the Blood Moon Demon would immediately attack, annihilating Rainbow Sun City with overwhelming force..."

Therefore, for many years, Rainbow Sun City has been on the defensive, resisting the attacks of mutated wolf spiders.

And the mutated wolf spider...

They are powerful, yet they are a species that was forced into existence.

Blue-colored Origin Crystals are extremely rare, let alone red-colored ones.

……

Ten days later, having recovered his mind and adapted to the changes brought about by the increase in vitality, Ji Fuyou walked out of the cultivation room.

Seeing him come out, Fang Qiyun and her specially prepared medical team breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you everything's fine, don't worry."

Ji Fuyou greeted Fang Qiyun with a smile.

He also nodded to the medical team experts, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, Chairman Ji's health is the most important thing."

The leader said, "Since Chairman Ji is alright, we'll take our leave now."

Ji Fuyou said a few angry words and asked Ji Qingqing to see them off.

After they left, Ji Fuyou turned to Fang Qiyun: "Have you made any discoveries over at the Death Rift Valley?"

He had already entrusted the task of finding the horned dragon to Fang Qiyun before he went into seclusion.

"We have detected a total of 13 areas where the fog is relatively dense. You will have to go and confirm for yourself whether these are the places you are looking for."

Fang Qiyun said.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

Ji Fuyou said something.

Compared to Mayan temples, the horned dragon...

It depends a bit on luck.

Therefore, he did not seem impatient.

"Any leads on the Thunder Giant Scorpion?"

Ji Fuyou asked again.

Now, he has even delegated the task of searching for other creatures in the dream to Fang Qiyun, so he no longer needs to rely on himself to communicate with Zhang Heng and the others in riddles.

"According to you, Captain, the Thunder Giant Scorpion is located in a temple. Such enclosed buildings are very difficult to find. We have sent people to search famous temples and city ruins around the world, but we have not found a location that matches the description."

Fang Qiyun paused, then continued, "The main problem is the fog; it severely impacts transportation and slows down exploration..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Fuyou estimated for a moment and said, "There's still about half a year left... Of course, it would be best if you could find it within three months."

Considering that he now wants to overthrow the Heavenly Gang and take the initiative, finding the Thunder Giant Scorpion is not enough; he also needs to find other powerful monsters.

He then said, "Come to my study, and I'll give you some more illustrations. You can include these monsters in your search."

Fang Qiyun nodded.

After arriving at the study, Ji Fuyou quickly took out several documents he had prepared beforehand. "Corpse Magician, Bull Demon Commander, Bull Demon King, Skeleton Demon Lord, Black Heaven Demon Lord..."

Fang Qiyun looked at these documents...

The monsters on this are clearly no ordinary creatures.

"Among them, the Corpse Magician wields lightning and possesses astonishing strength. Even a small team of Martial Saints might not be able to defeat him, and the location where he appeared..."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment and said, "It should be Huanglong Cave."

"Huanglong Cave?"

Fang Qiyun was taken aback, then his pupils shrank dramatically: "A monster like this could appear in Huanglong Cave!?"

"This monster appears in a cave, but the terrain of that cave is indeed similar to that of Huanglong Cave, so I say that this is the only possibility."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he pointed to the other two types of monsters: "The Black Bull Demon Commander and the Bull Demon King should belong to the same race. Once you find one of them, the other will be easier to deal with. So, apart from the Thunder Giant Scorpion, the Bull Demon Commander and the Bull Demon King are the key targets for your search."

"it is good."

Fang Qiyun nodded.

"You will personally oversee this matter and prioritize it to the highest level. If necessary, you can put aside the matter of venturing into the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes to obtain the Lucky Oil."

Ji Fuyou paused for a moment, then said, "You can even connect with the federal government and get their help!"

"Get the federal government involved?"

Fang Qiyun was taken aback.

Is the captain not afraid that the federal government will find out?

"They probably already guessed it, but now, it doesn't matter even if they did."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

Fang Qiyun understood immediately upon hearing this.

With our captain's current strength, what secret can't he keep?

"I understand."

"Yes, we must use the power that needs to be used. With great power comes great responsibility and great authority. We have taken on the corresponding responsibilities, so naturally we should also enjoy the benefits that power brings. Besides, the thing I'm looking for with these monsters is ultimately for..."

Ji Fuyou stopped speaking as if he had sensed something.

His gaze suddenly shifted to a sealed porcelain vase on a counter not far away.

Without waiting to speak, he quickly opened the counter, took out the bottle, and carefully examined it...

"Disappeared!?"

"This is……"

Fang Qiyun looked at it for a moment, vaguely remembering Ji Fuyou mentioning: "Divine Water?"

"Yes, divine water!"

Ji Fuyou nodded, his spirit roused, and he quickly began to sense the bottle of divine water.

This divine water, from the palace laboratory filled with real and fake monsters, can activate a person's life force with just one bottle.

The old man who passed on the art of weapon crafting to him—their civilization—placed its hopes on this technology.

If they can master this technology, they can continuously cultivate Earth Realm martial artists with vitality. With an increased number of Earth Realm martial artists, there is naturally a greater chance of producing Heaven Realm martial artists.

Then, they will have a chance to survive the fourth round of trials and preserve their civilization.

Unfortunately……

They were too eager for quick results, and the experiment failed.

Although a divine water capable of stimulating life force was created, the chaotic power contained within it could destroy the target's mind, turning them into a monster that only knew how to kill.

After obtaining this divine water, Ji Fuyou, though unable to use it, still kept it.

But now...

Within a few months, the "madness" and "chaos" in the divine water had completely disappeared!

"How could it disappear?"

Ji Fuyou's spirit continuously sensed the divine water, trying to understand how these forces of madness and chaos dissipated.

Seeing this, Fang Qiyun realized something and quickly said, "Captain, things produced in the mist will indeed be affected in various ways when they come to our world. Although the effects are different, they all have one thing in common, which is... the magical effects are weakened."

"Divine effects weakened?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou quickly connected it to the power of authority and the detection compass.

Whether it's the Detection Compass or the Power of Authority, both can only be used within the fog.

Even his Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique lasts much longer in the mist than it does in the outside world.

There is also a powerful healing technique.

This skill requires the activation of a certain trace element within the mist to produce a powerful healing effect.

If used outside the fog...

It's about the same as the healing light.

“Our Crimson Star is not yet completely shrouded by the Misty Lands, which is almost equivalent to a land devoid of spirits. The supernatural power of many items is suppressed, and even this divine water is no exception…”

Ji Fuyou immediately understood the cause and effect: "By chance, the efficacy of the divine water will be reduced, but the benefit is... the chaotic aura that destroys the mind will also dissipate..."

Of course, we'll have to test it out to see how it actually works.

This tester...

Obviously, it couldn't be Xiao Hanxue, Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, or Ji Qingqing—his closest people.

However, if it is true, such a precious item cannot be bestowed so easily.

Even if it's just an experiment...

After a moment's thought, he quickly came up with a candidate for the test.
