Chapter 670

"How about it? Intrigued? Want to come with me to find the Divine Blood?"

Wei Cheng chuckled.

"You're going too?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

"Of course, Divine Blood is a rare resource."

Moreover, this is very likely the Divine Blood of a Peak Ninth-Rank Beast Emperor!"

"I definitely want to go take a look."

Wei Cheng's face burned with excitement, "Not just us—many strong ones from Mo Ben are already planning to make the trip."

"So many people know about this?" Xu Jingming frowned.

"The person who filmed this video is only a Sixth-Rank Adept; they didn't realize these two beasts were Beast Emperors—just thought they were Eighth-Rank savage beasts."

After returning to the city, they sent the video along with its location into their internal group chat—a group of 300 people."

In less than half a minute, the news spread everywhere."

Wei Cheng shrugged helplessly, "To be fair, he got lucky—only Sixth-Rank, yet he ventured over 300 kilometers into the Wild Zone."

Too bad he lacked the eyesight—if he'd kept quiet and collected the Divine Blood himself, no one would've known."

Of course, without his sharing, we wouldn't have known about this at all."

"I see." Xu Jingming nodded in understanding.

Previously, he hadn't been able to gather any information about Divine Blood.

One major reason was that most discoverers collected it immediately upon finding it."

"So? Want to team up?"

"There are many people fighting over the Divine Blood—I'll be your tank up front, so you can focus on outputting safely."

Tank Wei Cheng raised his right arm, flexed slightly, and his muscles bulged dramatically.

Only because Xu Jingming was strong himself would he even invite someone to team up.

"No, I'm used to going alone," Xu Jingming shook his head.

If his true strength were only Eighth-Rank Master level, teaming up with a tank would've been a good choice.

But unfortunately, his real strength has already reached Ninth-Rank Master level!"

It's just that the Lei Huo transformation has reduced the power of his ability."

Under these circumstances, entering the Wild Zone with a tank would only slow him down."

"Alright then."

Tank Wei Cheng shrugged helplessly, "But if you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime."

"Will do."

Xu Jingming smiled, and behind him, brilliant flame wings unfurled as he shot skyward.

Hu—

Hu—

Xu Jingming flew toward the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy villa at over supersonic speed.

Wind rushed past his ears; Eva's voice echoed in his mind:

"S-Class, Tank just sent over the video and location."

"Mm." Xu Jingming nodded.

From his interactions so far, Tank Wei Cheng was straightforward and kind to friends—a person worth deepening ties with.

"S-Class, are you going to search for the Divine Blood?" Eva asked further.

"Yes, the Divine Blood of a Lightning-type dragon beast will greatly benefit my cultivation of Doushen Shenlei Immortal Body."

Xu Jingming did not deny it.

"Then when we get back, we need to prepare thoroughly."

At least stock up on two months' worth of survival supplies, plus plenty of pills, potions, and other essentials."

Also... "

Eva chattered like a little girl, quickly listing a long inventory of items.

She placed orders through the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy's Shangcheng—delivery would arrive in no time.

Xu Jingming didn't object; these items were indeed necessary.

That's also why he returned to the villa first.

Otherwise, he'd have plunged straight into the Wild Zone just now.

After all, many strong ones now know about this—the later you arrive, the harder it'll be to find the Divine Blood..."

Xu Jingming flew swiftly, returning to the villa in less than ten minutes.

It was 6:30 PM; the first floor was empty—Xia Lan was still training at the academy.

As soon as Xu Jingming stepped onto the second floor, dense emerald vines surged toward him, brimming with delight.

After two and a half months of cultivation, the Jingji Jiancao now radiated far thicker energy, its leaves lush and vigorous.

"In another day or two, it should break through to Seventh-Rank."

Eva, the twin-tailed little girl, emerged from her smart bracer, examined it closely, then smiled lightly.

"Huh? Didn't Ai Lin say it'd take at least three months to advance?"

Xu Jingming was surprised.

"Do you think I'm just sitting around doing nothing?"

Eva proudly puffed out her flat chest:

"Over these two months, I've bought countless rare flowers and herbs for the Jingji Jiancao to devour."

Only then did it once again accelerate to its normal speed.

More importantly, these exotic flowers and herbs were very cheap — in total it cost less than 100 million Blue Star coins."

"100 million Blue Star coins to shorten the growth time by 15 days — not bad at all."

Xu Jingming rubbed little Yiwa's small head.

The little loli Yiwa narrowed her eyes like a kitten being stroked the right way, thoroughly enjoying it.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The phone rang — it was a call from Eileen.

Xu Jingming had no choice but to rub Yiwa's little head with one hand while pulling out his phone with the other to answer, and said directly:

"Something going on?"

"Are you home? A new batch of cultivation resources has arrived. I'll bring them over to you."

Eileen's clear, pleasant voice rang out.

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Eileen was the vice president of the Silver Moon Commerce Guild — just delivering a batch of resources, it wasn't worth her coming in person.

Still, Xu Jingming didn't press further, simply nodding in agreement.

"Yiwa, help me procure some supplies. I'm going in to nap for a bit."

After hanging up, Xu Jingming went straight into the bedroom to rest.

This was the benefit of artificial intelligence — for trivial chores like this, he didn't need to lift a finger himself.

And since he was about to enter the wilderness area again, he had to get a good rest before that.

But he had been asleep for less than an hour when a sudden wave of intense longing emotion came through.

"Hm?" Xu Jingming's eyes snapped open.

Yiwa's holographic projection was already floating in midair, exclaiming joyfully:

"S-rank! The Thorn Sword Grass is about to break through! Quick, take out all the Thick Black Soil and Daffodil Milk!"

Xu Jingming's face also lit up with pleasant surprise at her words, and he flipped himself up from the bed.

In a single bound he darted to the living room, and sure enough found the Thorn Sword Grass's aura had reached a critical threshold — it seemed it could break through at any moment!

Not daring to delay, Xu Jingming waved a big hand.

The Thick Black Soil and Daffodil Milk stored in his spatial ring piled up at the base of the Thorn Sword Grass like a small mountain.

Shwa shwa shwa—

Countless root tendrils sprouted from the Thorn Sword Grass's stem, burrowing into the Thick Black Soil, ceaselessly absorbing nutrients.

And its already terrifying aura continued to climb higher!

The entire process lasted a good half hour or more, and the Thorn Sword Grass's aura climbed to its peak!

Boom!!

A muffled sound suddenly rang out, and the aura emanating from the Thorn Sword Grass reached an entirely new level!

It had broken through from the peak of the sixth tier to the seventh tier!
