Chapter 311: Netherworld, the Dragon Corpse Above the Emperor Sovereign [10,000 Words]
After players enter the instance of the Mysterious World, their attributes will be data-driven, equivalent to having a basic system.
The system allows them to not be eroded by ghost qi; instead, it directly absorbs the ghost qi into the body, marking the formal beginning of the path of ghost cultivation.
Oddly enough, cultivating ghost qi in this way won't transform the body toward abnormality, which is truly astounding.
However, on the Heavenly Dao Continent, you can cultivate ghost qi, but once you start, you can only enter the Ghost Cave, eventually transforming into undead creatures.
"In recent years, the disturbances in the Ghost Cave have become increasingly frequent; who knows when it might fully erupt," the Seventh Ancestor said.
"No worries, let it erupt then, with the suppression of sunlight, plus our Da Li Dynasty is full of experts, merely undead creatures," Lu Ancestor waved dismissively.
"Indeed, after Emperor Ya's death, Cheng Qian ascended the throne and began making magic artifacts containing extreme yang power. Now, thirty years have passed, and we've amassed quite a number."
"Even if the Ghost Cave erupts, we can handle it," the Seventh Ancestor added.
As time passed, the inside of the flying shuttle gradually fell quiet.
The few began to meditate with eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Mu Rufeng took out a bottle of Seventh Rank Qi Blood Pills, containing ten in total, and swallowed them all in one go.
Mu Rufeng then immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Mu Rufeng now had many cultivation resources, mostly compensatory gifts from the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince.
The Emperor was supposed to bestow cultivation resources too, but Mu Rufeng left in a rush, so the resources were sent to the Eastern Palace and could only be used once he returns.
The Seventh Rank Qi Blood Pill is typically a resource for martial artists of the Level 7 Refining Aperture Realm.
For martial artists of the Level 6 Heart Refining Realm, the qi blood is too rich and furious, and consuming it might not enhance qi blood but cause backlash instead.
But evidently, Mu Rufeng experienced no backlash whatsoever.
His powerful digestion and absorption ability, along with a strong physique, meant there were no bottlenecks in cultivation.
Indeed, as long as resources are ample, Mu Rufeng's cultivation can advance rapidly.
"Truly exceptionally talented, to dare swallow a bottle of Seventh Rank Qi Blood Pills in one go at the Heart Refining Realm," Lu Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Mu Rufeng with admiration.
Meanwhile, a shimmering halo separated them from Mu Rufeng, so their conversation wouldn't disturb him.
"Indeed quite impressive, regarding talent, he has already surpassed most of our royal ancestors," remarked the Sixth Ancestor.
"I think his talent even exceeds Ancestor Li. You wouldn't know, the first time I met him and entered his Soul Space—"
"Under my feet was a mere ten-meter-long sailboat, yet under his, was a massive iron ship, countless times larger than mine."
"More astonishingly, Feng'er's Soul Space has a vast ocean, the kind that stretches beyond the eye's reach," the Seventh Ancestor exclaimed.
"Hmm? An ocean? And even much larger than your Soul Ship?" the Sixth Ancestor looked shocked.
"I mean, Old Feng, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Even at the Emperor Sovereign Realm, our Soul Space is just a pond; how could he have an ocean?" Lu Ancestor expressed incredulity.
"Of course, it's true, why would I deceive you?" the Seventh Ancestor said.
"If it's true, Old Feng, why don't you ask His Majesty to annul the engagement with the girl from Lingyan Pavilion, and let him marry my Qiu'er?" Lu Ancestor suggested.
"Go yourself if you must; it's none of my business," the Seventh Ancestor bluntly refused.
"Old Mu, what do you say?" Lu Ancestor turned to the Sixth Ancestor.
"Why annul the engagement? Just let your daughter be a concubine, and when Feng'er ascends the throne, having your Qiu'er as a Noble Consort won't be disgraceful," the Sixth Ancestor suggested.
"You have a point; I'll ponder this with her parents when I return," Lu Ancestor stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
Still refining the Qi Blood Pills, Mu Rufeng was oblivious to the fact he might be getting another wife.
In the blink of an eye, it was 5 p.m.
Mu Rufeng opened his eyes slowly, feeling the Qi Blood Power in his body gradually calm down.
In six hours, he had refined most of the ten Seventh Rank Qi Blood Pills.
His cultivation progressed further, though not by a full realm.
This pace was actually quite fast.
Ordinarily, a Seventh Rank martial artist would need two days to refine one Seventh Rank Qi Blood Pill, while Mu Rufeng refined most of them in just six hours.
Resources, he requires a vast amount of resources to build up his cultivation.
Just like in the novel "Covering the Sky," where the protagonist's Ancient Sacred Body is immensely talented but requires boundless resources to advance at speed.
Mu Rufeng is in a similar situation now, needing boundless resources to rapidly advance.
Once he detoxifies, he'll enter the Royal Treasury to commence his frenzied cultivation.
"We're at the border now; we're about to enter the territory of the Western Regions Demon Clan, be careful," the Sixth Ancestor stated.
"Mm," the Seventh Ancestor nodded slightly.
Then, he began casting a spell.
Immediately, the speed of the flying shuttle decreased, its exterior gradually turned transparent, and its presence was completely undetectable.
In this form, even if a God Realm expert were nearby, they wouldn't detect it.
Even an Emperor Sovereign could only detect it within a certain range, slightly further out, and it would be undetectable.
