Chapter 1306: Do You Usually Cultivate Like This? The Payoff!

Let's get started.

Xu Jingming told Ye Lan.

He immediately gently released the soft, delicate body in his arms and entered meditative stillness.

"This guy Jingming..."

Ye Lan's beautiful eyes flicked at him with a hint of pout.

Just now, Xu Jingming had enjoyed the handsy teasing.

He had stirred her emotions, and now she was the one beginning cultivation.

He'd left her in a state of restless longing...

"No, that's not right.

To cultivate under such circumstances proves Jingming's mind is unshakable."

Soon, Ye Lan understood, and the love in her eyes deepened further.

Yet she herself, despite having absorbed so much essence, still craved that act intensely.

"Ye Lan, Ye Lan, when did you become like this?

Jingming's strength is already so great—he mustn't slack off in cultivation."

Thinking this, Ye Lan's once sultry face grew solemn, and she quickly entered cultivation.

Xu Jingming hadn't expected Ye Lan to have so many inner thoughts.

At this moment, he had opened his system panel.

【Source Points】: 394,000

After adding points to the Ten Thousand Combat Techniques last time, 134,000 Source Points remained.

Adding the gains from this battle against the Demon Clan, this is the total left.

"394,000 Source Points should be enough to raise Body Strengthening Art and Soul Refining Art to their highest tiers."

Exhaling softly, Xu Jingming directly clicked the point-adding option on the panel!

Source Points -50,000!

Purple Thunder Tattoo Body Seventh Layer → Purple Thunder Tattoo Body Eighth Layer!

Source Points -70,000!

Purple Thunder Tattoo Body Eighth Layer → Purple Thunder Tattoo Body Ninth Layer!

Purple Thunder Tattoo Body Perfected!

Boom—!!

A thunderous rumble erupted within Xu Jingming's body.

His already absurdly powerful physique began strengthening again!

Simultaneously, all thunder markings on his body blazed brightly!

Purple light pierced through his skin, forming an intricate, mysterious pattern across his surface.

Upon closer inspection, there were exactly nine purple markings!

【Physique】: 5.46 billion Qi (++)

"Nine-layer thunder markings! Physique increased by 1.5 billion!"

Xu Jingming's heart trembled, then he continued adding points.

Source Points -60,000!

Star Core Meditation Method Seventh Layer → Star Core Meditation Method Eighth Layer!

Source Points -80,000!

Star Core Meditation Method Eighth Layer → Star Core Meditation Method Ninth Layer!

Whoosh—

His spiritual sea expanded; his spiritual power surged violently upward!

It took several full minutes before this spiritual power transformation gradually subsided.

【Spirit】: 5.67 billion He (++)

"Compared to Body Strengthening Art, Soul Refining Art brought a greater boost—a 1.7 billion increase."

Xu Jingming slowly opened his eyes; under the weight of immense spiritual power, his gaze appeared as deep as the stars.

Beside him, Ye Lan had long stopped cultivating, staring dumbfounded at this scene.

Although she followed the Elementalist path and primarily cultivated Soul Refining Art,

she knew well the commotion accompanying Body Strengthening Art cultivation.

But what had she just witnessed?

Within half an hour, Xu Jingming had consecutively broken through both Body Strengthening Art and Soul Refining Art!

More crucially, these breakthroughs didn't seem to be mere single-layer advances?

"Jingming, do you usually break through like this?"

Seeing Xu Jingming's aura gradually stabilize, Ye Lan couldn't help asking.

"What's wrong?" Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

"Nothing.

I've just never seen anyone else achieve consecutive breakthroughs in Body Strengthening Art and Soul Refining Art like you."

On Ye Lan's fair, delicate face, astonishment was plain.

The Noah Sanctuary had no shortage of geniuses; many practiced both martial and spiritual cultivation like Xu Jingming.

But she had never seen anyone cultivate like this before.

"Aren't you seeing it now?"

Xu Jingming smiled slightly. "I'm different from others—don't judge me by their standards."

I never saw it before because no one so talented had ever appeared!"

The universe is vast, full of wonders beyond imagination.

This can serve as excellent cover for his Deep Blue System.

"That's true."

Ye Lan nodded lightly.

Indeed.

Xu Jingming, who at Starlight Ninth Stage already possesses Star Level Four combat power.

You can't judge him by ordinary logic.

"Eva, scan my physical condition—confirm my physique and spiritual force strength."

Although he already knew his exact stats from the system, Xu Jingming still spoke up.

"Got it."

A pale blue light shot from Eva's holographic projection, bathing Xu Jingming in its glow.

Just seconds later, she spoke:

"Without actual combat testing, I can only estimate—your blood qi and spiritual force are roughly around 5.5 billion."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

This figure matched what the system panel displayed.

"5.5 billion? That's far stronger than an ordinary Starlight Ninth Stage cultivator."

Ye Lan whispered in awe, "But Jingming, haven't you already reached the peak of your Body Tempering and Spirit Refining arts?"

Next, you'll probably need only celestial treasures and rare herbs to improve further."

A Starlight Ninth Stage cultivator who has fully perfected Body Tempering and Spirit Refining.

Typically has a physique and spiritual base of only around 4 billion.

Xu Jingming surpassing them by so much can only be called extraordinary talent.

"Hmm, the Sacred Ground Shangcheng probably has plenty of good items."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly, instructing Eva to open the Noah Sacred Ground Shangcheng.

After the last Sacred Ground Exchange Competition, to buy resources for Eva to return to her original body.

He had accumulated roughly 48.7 billion credit points.

Later, he directly earned cosmic coin dividends from the Abyss Arena.

There was no need to keep accumulating these credit points—perfect for purchasing this round of resources.

"Grand Void Nourishing Soul Pill (S6-grade pill): Consuming greatly enhances spiritual force; price: 40 billion credit points.

Blood Jade Phoenix Ginseng (S5-grade rare herb): Consuming greatly enhances blood qi; price: 37 billion credit points.

......"

The Noah Sacred Ground Shangcheng offered many items, but the highest tier available was only S5-grade cultivation resources.

After all, at this level, even immortals would find them useful—naturally, they couldn't be left for students to use.

Of course, these S-grade resources were also absurdly expensive.

After careful selection, Xu Jingming ultimately chose two S8-grade cultivation resources.

One Star Vortex Dragon Saliva Grass, usable to enhance blood qi; price: 23 billion credit points.

One Nine Netherworld Soul Lotus, usable to enhance spiritual force; price: 28 billion credit points.

These two resources were the most suitable for him.

"Total price: 51 billion credit points. I'm still short by 2.3 billion."

Seeing his balance, Xu Jingming frowned, hesitating whether to choose lower-tier resources—

when a notification popped up on the holographic account interface:

"Sacred Ground Level 1 Genius Ye Lan has transferred you 3 billion credit points."

"Since you're aiming for Star Level attributes, you must use the best resources."

I still have plenty of credit points left over from after the last Sacred Ground Exchange Competition—I've transferred them all to you."

When Xu Jingming turned his gaze to Ye Lan, she smiled sweetly and explained.

"No wonder you're my Lan'er."

Xu Jingming quickly placed the order for both resources and set the delivery address to Silver Radiance Star.

Then, amid Ye Lan's soft cry, he swept her up in his arms and headed toward the bedroom.

"Jingming, what are you doing?"

Feeling his wandering hands, Ye Lan's cheeks flushed crimson, her breath quickening.

"A drop of kindness deserves a gushing spring in return."

And this isn't even a drop—it's a great favor!"

Xu Jingming grinned mischievously.

Ye Lan gave him 3 billion—he repaid her with dozens of billions; that was only fair exchange.
