1800 One Month's Closed-door Cultivation

Although the dragon swords lost their Spirituality, they were still Immortal grade materials that had been fixed with the Living Soil! Refining them was not going to be an overnight task!

On top of that, Chen Xiaobei only had one piece of Sanmei True Fire Talisman left. So, he had to resort to using the Transmogrifying Flame.

Even if the Heaven and Earth Furnace's Spiritual Ability was given a boost, it would take almost a month for the whole refinement process to be completed because of the low-grade fire.

Of course, since there was no battle involvement in the meantime, Chen Xiaobei had the time to spare.

He could cultivate while he waited; not a minute was to be wasted.

Chen Xiaobei may have given most of his Spiritual Stones to Qin Yitian and the Beast Essence stored inside his body had been used up. However, he had made the emperor of Tenshou his loyal hound and had access to the Tenshou's spirit channel for cultivating.

Ultimately, after 40 days, the Tenshou imperial family would we wiped out. Chen Xiaobei did not wish to rule Tenshou Starfield either, so it did not matter even if the spirit channel was drained dry.

...

After communicating with Wugui Osama, Chen Xiaobei received an electronic imperial edict that allowed him to go in and out of the Tenshou palace without any restrictions.

Wugui Kojiro brought Chen Xiaobei to the secret cultivating room built right above the core of the imperial city's spirit channel. The room was used only by the emperor himself.

"The Spiritual Qi here is so dense!" Chen Xiaobei noted upon entering the room.

The room was not very big but it was filled with pure and extremely concentrated Spiritual Qi, making it feel as if tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones had been cracked opened in the room.

Wugui Kojiro shook his head. "This is only a small portion of the spillover from the Spiritual Channel. Go ahead and get ready to cultivate, master. I will go get the formation going. There will be even more Spiritual Qi released later!"

"Alright!" Chen Xiaobei walked to the raised platform in the center of the private room. He crossed his legs and began to use his Heaven and Earth Scripture.

Wugui Kojiro activated the Spiritual Channel's formation.

Only the core members of the Tenshou imperial family had the access to the formation.

In the next minute, Spiritual Qi poured into the secret room like a raging river.

Chen Xiaobei breathed them all in.

Ever since he broke through to God-Ascension cultivation, Chen Xiaobei's Dantian's capacity had increased by ten times! He could also take in Spiritual Qi ten times faster than before.

Almost every second, 30,000 thousand low-grade Spiritual Stones' worth of Spiritual Qi was continuously siphoned into his body.

Of course, after he had broken through to God-Ascension cultivation, it would require even more Spiritual Qi to increase the same amount of cultivation.

Essentially, one high-grade Spiritual Stone's Spiritual Qi could increase either his health or combat power by 100; and one high-grade Spiritual Stone was equivalent to 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones.

Taking in 30,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones every second meant almost 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones in an hour!

Put simply, every hour Chen Xiaobei spent cultivating required 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones, which would either increase his combat power or health by 100 points.

.....

There were thirty days in one month, and twenty-four hours in a day. That added up to a total of 720 hours!

Because his health was far above his combat power, Chen Xiaobei leaned more towards increasing his combat power.

720 hours of cultivating to raise his combat power.

72 billion low-grade Spiritual Qi spent.

This should result in a 72,000 increase in combat power.

With the boost of his Heavenly Path's reward, however, that number was doubled to 144,000.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of God-Ascension; Lifespan: 10,100 years; Health: 1,064,000; Combat power: 668,000]

Chen Xiaobei opened his eyes and breathed out a mouthful of white mist of about ten meters long. The mist did not dissipate. It was very unusual.

"Master! You're awake!" Wugui Kojiro, who had been waiting by his side, said.

"I could feel the Ethereal Force in your body undulating. That must have been about a 150,000 increase in combat power!"

"About there…" Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

He slowly reined in his Ethereal Force, and allowed his body and Dantian to calm down.

"My god… It's true… I thought that… I was mistaken…" Wugui Kojiro stammered. "I'm twenty-five this year but I've only managed to reach 600,000 combat power! In thirty days, you were able to reach my level which I worked my ass off for six long years to achieve… That… It is just incredible…"

"It's nothing…" Chen Xiaobei answered. "If I had used the Demonic Beast Essence to cultivate, I could have gained another 100,000 health."

"Oh…" Wugui Kojiro felt a stab in his little heart.

What seemed so impressive to Wugui Kojiro was simply ordinary to Chen Xiaobei!

Wugui felt like useless in comparison to Chen Xiaobei. How could he ever catch up to his master?

...

Chen Xiaobei took out his phone and left Wugui Kojiro to stew in his shock.

"Qin Yitian is very reliable, after all." Chen Xiaobei smiled at the message he had just received from her.

This woman had used all her family's connections and pulled the all right strings to turn the 13 trillion low-grade Spiritual Stones into Spiritual Items in thirty days!

In her message, she informed Chen Xiaobei that he could go to Vermillion Phoenix to collect the goods. If it was inconvenient, she could send it over to him herself.

"I have ten more days until the Saint Duke betrothal contest deadline. My cultivation can skyrocket again after I get my Spiritual Items! This is great!"

Chen Xiaobei stood up. "Now, let me take a look inside the Heaven and Earth Cauldron first!"

An image of the furnace was immediately projected into Chen Xiaobei's mind.

The Green Dragon and Red Dragon swords were nowhere to be seen.

In their place were two rainbow-colored Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura.

Unlike the previous Spiritual Aura which was fine and small, these two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura were very thick and large like two rainbow-colored serpents slithering in the air, giving off a strong vibe of Spirituality.

"Immortal grade materials really are one of a kind. Combined with the Living Soil, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura produced ten times more Spirituality than ten thousand Spiritual Items!" Chen Xiaobei was over the moon. "Next, it's time to activate the Dragon's Edge Special Ability! Ooh, I can't wait…"

"Rise!" Chen Xiaobei instructed, and the two bands of rainbow aura streamed into the Dragon's Edge like little waterfalls.

Wugui Kojiro stood frozen, watching from the side.

He had never ever seen anything like this before!
