Chapter 528: Seventh Blood Exchange (Please vote for monthly tickets)

"Imperial Star Hall!"

As soon as this name came out, everyone's eyes were filled with longing.

Those who can enter the Imperial Star Hall are all Ninth Realm martial artists; this is a symbol of status, and which martial artist doesn't want to enter it.

Only a hundred or so people in the entire Blue Star can enter it.

Lin Qi remembered this name; Ninth Realm martial artist, he was still very far away from this realm.

However, in the future, he would definitely be able to enter it.

In the chat, everyone unknowingly returned to the base, only to see dozens of large green screens projected on the wall at the gate of the Black Dragon Base.

Among them were rankings for each realm.

And real-time news notifications, and on the largest screen, the sacrificed martial artists were being played.

Lin Qi also saw the information on the screen.

【Sacrificed martial artists today: 165】

【Sixth Realm martial artists (2), Fifth Realm martial artists (8), Fourth Realm martial artists (16)……】

……

Lin Qi looked at the number; 165 martial artists had sacrificed themselves today so far, and the number was still rising.

If a Tenth-Level disaster beast descended, the number might increase by about ten times!

Pei Hongfeng looked at the big screen and suddenly sighed:

"I don't know why, in these three months, the number of sacrificed martial artists is actually decreasing compared to before!"

"It has decreased by about 10%."

"Clearly the offensive of the disaster beasts has become more fierce, but the number of sacrifices is decreasing; it's really strange!"

Then he glanced at Lin Qi, and a guess vaguely appeared in his heart.

But he quickly shook his head and denied it.

Lin Qi was only a Seventh Realm martial artist; the influence was not that great.

And Dean Liu Jing looked at Lin Qi; he knew very well how terrifying Lin Qi's hunting efficiency was, strong and terrifying, simply a monster.

A moment later, everyone dispersed and returned to their apartments to rest.

"Buzz!"

The door of Room 206 slid open silently!

Lin Qi entered, took off the battle armor on his body, and looked at the Black Gold battle armor that was seriously damaged, full of cracks and claw marks everywhere.

Looking at the Black Gold Great Spear, countless traces had also appeared on it at this time, and even the sharp spear tip had become blunt.

Lin Qi shook his head; it seemed that the battle with Eighth-Level disaster beasts caused very serious wear and tear on the weapons.

The skin, scales, and bone spurs of Eighth-Level disaster beasts were unusually hard, and long-term collisions indeed made it easy to wear out.

Lin Qi opened the War Home app; now that the disaster beast tide had ended, he only had one day of rest.

Most disaster beast tides broke out once every two or three days, while in a small number of cases, they would appear once a day, or even several times a day.

So he clicked on the repair service to have the Black Gold battle armor and Black Gold Great Spear repaired.

It only required 5000 merit points! And Lin Qi entered the bathroom to take a shower.

"Splash splash!!"

In the bathroom, steam was rising, and hot water washed away the oil and dust on his skin.

"Sister Lian, open War Home personal center!"

"Okay, Master!"

Sister Lian projected the green panel.

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel.

【Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】 【528-42

【Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange】

【Merit Points: 1.001 million】

【Base Ranking: 50→20】

【Overall Ranking: 180→60】

Lin Qi smiled as he looked at his ranking; before leaving today, he was ranked 50th in the Black Dragon Base and 180th on the overall list.

After this battle, his base ranking had risen by 30, and his overall ranking by 120.

His merit points had even broken through the 1 million mark!

Before leaving, his merit points were 160,000, and in just this one day, he had obtained 840,000 merit points.

And 600,000 merit points came from the Level 8 disaster beast, the Earth-Splitting Dragon!

He sighed inwardly: hunting Level 8 disaster beasts really yields a lot of merit points.

Although the merit points he had accumulated from hunting disaster beasts over three months already exceeded several million.

But the merit points obtained in a single day had successfully broken the record.

A moment later, Lin Qi put on a clean black martial arts uniform.

He opened the room door, packed his battle armor and black-gold great spear into a metal box, and handed it to the staff.

He then sat down at the dining table, which was still full of dishes, while Xiao Chan continued cooking in the kitchen.

Lin Qi also skillfully began to feast.

He picked up a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew; it was very tough, remaining resilient even after being cooked, like beef tendon or country chicken meat.

For an ordinary martial artist to grind it up, they would need astonishing bite force.

And as it happened, Lin Qi easily chewed it up and swallowed it.

After a moment, his body began to heat up.

"As expected of Level 9 disaster beast meat, the essence in the flesh is even richer!"

Lin Qi sighed inwardly; the reason he was able to complete three blood exchanges in three months.

Was also thanks to the disaster beast flesh!

For the first two months, he consumed a large amount of Level 8 disaster beast flesh, and this month he even felt that Level 8 flesh was no longer enough.

He began to consume Level 9 disaster beast flesh, which contained astonishing essence.

Lin Qi, having consumed a large amount of physical energy, felt his stomach warm and glowing, frantically digesting the essence in the flesh.

At the same time, while eating, Lin Qi began to shop.

Since he already had 1 million merit points, there was no need to hoard them; it was better to spend them on cultivation resources to advance further.

He opened the War Home app.

He first found the Blood Spirit Potion and directly ordered two bottles, worth 200,000 merit points.

Although very expensive, it could bring him closer to his 7th blood exchange!

And in a few days, it would be the battle agreed upon with Gu Jian.

If he could perform the seventh blood exchange, defeating the opponent would be a sure thing.

"I still have 800,000 merit points left!"

Lin Qi looked at his merit point balance and continued browsing, looking at the Level 9 disaster beast meat on the plate on the table!

He ordered another 2,000 kilograms, costing 20,000 merit points.

"My mental power is now 9,100, very close to the Eighth Realm!"

"I can purchase better resources to let my mental power break through in advance."

"This is beneficial for the honing of my techniques!"

Lin Qi thought quickly in his brain and searched for better resources.

Soon the page refreshed, and various potions and heavenly treasures appeared; these were things the Red Dome Home did not possess.

And Lin Qi soon found a potion.

【Item: Top-Grade Soul Water】

【Effect: An advanced version of Soul Water, possessing more powerful effects,】

【Merit Points (Teaching Points): 50,000/vial】

Lin Qi nodded inwardly after seeing it; the effect of ordinary Soul Water was only 3,000, while Top-Grade Soul Water had almost increased by 16 times.

Soul Water could be phased out; he planned to consume one vial of Top-Grade Soul Water every day from now on.

His mental power could break through to the Eighth Realm faster, so he ordered 5 more bottles.

Worth 250,000 merit points; ordinary Eighth Realm martial artists wouldn't dare to be this extravagant.

Only Lin Qi dared, because he believed in his own strength.

He could now kill Level 8 disaster beasts, and if he performed a seventh blood exchange, his combat power would increase again.

Hunting Level 8 disaster beasts would also become easier.

Then he began to buy flesh harmonizing agents, buying them in large quantities; they only cost 1,000 merit points.

Lin Qi needed better ones; he needed to buy top-grade harmonizing agents, whose effect was 10 times that of ordinary ones, costing only 10,000 merit points.

He ordered 10 more bottles in a row!

Spending another 100,000 merit points.

【Merit Points: 430,000】

Now only 430,000 merit points remained, half having been spent.

Lin Qi suddenly thought of his weapons!

"I already possess Eighth Realm combat power now; shouldn't my battle armor and weapons also be upgraded?"

Generally speaking, Seventh Realm martial artists mostly use Seventh Stage battle armor and weapons.

Eighth Realm martial artists use Eighth Realm equipment and blades.

Among them, Eighth Stage battle armor and weapons can only be exchanged using merit points.

But some people's families are too rich, and they are even the suppliers of battle armor and weapons themselves.

Getting an Eighth Stage battle armor for their own juniors is not difficult!

So such geniuses can generally use Eighth Stage battle armor and weapons directly when they are Seventh Realm martial artists.

The most typical examples are Xu Qin and Pei Yiqing.

Shen Heng's family is poor; he wears Seventh Stage battle armor and uses a Seventh Stage battle sword.

While Pei Yiqing and Xu Qin have Eighth Stage equipment for both battle armor and weapons.

Therefore, both their defensive power and combat power have been improved.

Lin Qi's family is also poor, and he didn't have many merit points before.

But it's much better now; he can hunt Level 8 disaster beasts, and he won't lack merit points in the future; he can also afford to buy Eighth Stage equipment.

Thinking of this, he began to search for Eighth Stage weapons, because weapons are much cheaper than battle armor.

Battle armor is more expensive; he might not be able to afford it with 450,000 merit points.

Soon the page refreshed.

【Equipment: Eighth Stage Long Spear (Ordinary)】

【Description: An Eighth Stage blade of ordinary quality, possessing a significant boost to a martial artist's Golden Gangjin destructive power!】

【Merit Points: 500,000】

Lin Qi was stunned after seeing the merit points.

Eighth Stage blades are actually divided into two qualities, ordinary and enhanced, based on quality.

But he couldn't even afford the ordinary quality one right now.

He was still 70,000 merit points short; he couldn't afford it at all.

"My merit points are not enough right now!"

"Although I could borrow from someone, there's no need!"

Lin Qi shook his head; although he could borrow merit points from someone.

For example, his teacher Mu Hong, who often hunts Level 8 disaster beasts, definitely has plenty of merit points.

But there was no need, because he would be able to earn them back soon.

It would just take a little more effort.

He suddenly thought of Gu Jian again; he still had a scheduled battle with him.

And the stake for the scheduled battle was 1 million merit points; this was a huge sum, enough to buy astonishing heavenly treasures.

"With 1 million merit points, plus the 450,000 merit points, I could even directly buy Eighth Stage battle armor and a long spear."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up at the thought.

In that case, he would have to defeat Gu Jian.

Must say, their family are all very good people; if another Eighth Realm genius came to challenge him after he defeated this one, that would be even better.

Half an hour later, Lin Qi finished dinner, his whole body feeling warm.

His breath contained a large amount of source energy; he entered the martial arts room, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

He adjusted his breathing, cleared his mind, visualized the Jin Di in his consciousness space, and operated his cultivation art.

A moment later, a large amount of source energy continuously surged into his body.

His cells began to absorb the source energy, and his body organs began to absorb the essence of the flesh.

The white heat and golden light merged, condensing into the shape of a giant tiger in the air.

His exhausted body began to recover rapidly, and his flesh began to transform.

His heart beat rapidly, like an engine starting, pumping fresh blood and delivering it to every part of his body.

A large amount of impurities were washed away by the blood, merged into it, and expelled by the internal organs.

Much of the stagnant blood formed during the battle was dispersed, and the broken parts began to repair.

Lin Qi waited quietly for his body to recover.

This time, Lin Qi cultivated for three hours straight.

Absorbing source energy and blood exchange cultivation were performed simultaneously.

"Hoo!!"

Lin Qi's chest heaved as he exhaled the waste gas from his internal organs, breathing out the old and taking in the new.

A strong gust of wind formed in the martial arts room, blowing the swaying curtains.

Lin Qi felt his whole body tingling, stood up, and power surged out continuously.

His whole person had completely recovered.

【You fought hard for a day, consumed a huge amount of energy, consumed a large amount of Level 9 disaster beast flesh, body recovered, strength increased, Qi and blood value +50】

【Qi and blood value: 8,350→8,400】

Lin Qi exhaled; he was now consuming Level 9 disaster beast flesh, and this was after a day of fierce fighting.

His Qi and blood value had only increased by 50.

Once he completed the 7th blood exchange, he had a premonition that the next two blood exchanges would be extremely difficult.

However, his speed was already fast enough; there was no need to be greedy anymore.

Thinking of this, he took the Tiger-Slaying Great Spear off the wall and began to brandish it.

He still needed to deepen his understanding of the killing move he had just comprehended today.

November 18th,

Sichuan Province, the second day after the Level 10 disaster beast descended on the Tianfu Base.

The news continued to update the battlefield situation, with more martial artists sacrificing themselves.

At the same time, they began to mourn the sacrificed Ninth Realm martial artist, King Pan Yue, and began to introduce his life's achievements.

Meanwhile, the Tianfu Base was still dealing with the remaining disaster beast tide.

And the Overlord had already taken the Sword Emperor and the Beijiang Sword King back to the Black Dragon Base.

Compared to the Tianfu Base, the Black Dragon Base needed the protection of strong individuals even more.

It started to snow in Beijiang Province!

Looking at the entire base and battlefield, it was a vast expanse of snow, and the temperature in the air was continuously dropping.

The difficulty of transporting disaster beasts increased, but it could also well ensure that the flesh of the disaster beasts did not spoil.

Room 206, in the personal martial arts room

"Lin Qi, Junior Brother, look at the exchange table quickly!"

"The Awakening Potion has actually appeared!"

Lin Qi put away his long spear and drank a functional beverage; he had just finished cultivating when his Senior Brother Liang Tai called him.

On the projected green big screen, Liang Tai's expression was unusually excited.

Lin Qi also showed curiosity, opened the exchange table, and found that the exchange table had changed; the blood of the first-place Disaster Flame Dragon had dropped to second.

The first place had been replaced by a potion.

【Item: Awakening Potion】

【Effect: Made using Awakening Fruit as raw material, it can increase the probability of ordinary martial artists awakening special abilities; the awakening probability is 5%】

【Merit Points: 200,000】

Lin Qi also showed a look of surprise after seeing it.

There really was an Awakening Potion.

Awakening Fruit could increase the probability of awakening, but the quantity was too small; one might not even see one in a year.

But now it was different; a potion had actually appeared.

The appearance of a "potion" meant it could be mass-produced.

Liang Tai said excitedly:

"Junior Brother, do you know? There is actually no 'sold out' sign after the Awakening Potion, which means

the quantity is even greater than we imagined."

"Perhaps our Xia Guo will give birth to a large number of SS-level geniuses."

Then Liang Tai showed an excited expression and said:

"Junior Brother, you know, both I, Wang Zhixuan, and Junior Brother Li Qing have a chance to awaken."

"As long as we can awaken, spending any amount of money is worth it; I have already purchased it!"

Lin Qi finally understood why Liang Tai was so excited.

Originally, his upper limit was the Seventh Realm, but once awakened, his talent would transform, becoming an SS-level genius, and his upper limit would be an Eighth Realm martial artist.

And Senior Sister Wang Zhixuan and Senior Brother Li Qing were the same.

He could already imagine what kind of storm would be set off across the entire Xia Guo, no, even the entire Blue Star.

In the future, the high-realm martial artists of the Xia Guo would present a grand spectacle of explosive growth.

It was a good thing for the entire Blue Star.

Lin Qi was also happy for the Xia Guo; there had been bad news every day recently, and finally, there was some good news.

A moment later,

At the entrance of Room 206, the door slid open silently, and Lin Qi received three metal boxes from the delivery courier.

At the same time, he had the boxes of Level 9 disaster beast flesh behind him moved into the cold storage.

"Xiao Chan, cook 1,000 kilograms of flesh!"

"Okay, Master!"

After the staff left, Lin Qi said.

The resources and potions he bought had all arrived.

Lin Qi brought the metal boxes back into the martial arts room, opened them one by one, revealing the various potions inside:

Blood Spirit Potion, Top-Grade Harmonizing Agent, Top-Grade Soul Water.

Lin Qi put away the Top-Grade Harmonizing Agent and Top-Grade Soul Water, and finally, only two bottles of Blood Spirit Potion remained.

Lin Qi sat cross-legged; in the martial arts room, the functional beverage was already prepared.

He could start his seventh blood exchange.

Tomorrow was the day of the scheduled battle with Gu Jian.

According to the rules of the scheduled battle, if no disaster beast tide broke out that day, the battle would proceed as normal.

If there was a disaster beast tide, it would be automatically postponed for two days.

"Gulp~"

Lin Qi opened the Blood Spirit Potion and drank both bottles in one go.

He had consumed too many bottles, and the effect had already weakened; he could only win by quantity.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Lin Qi breathed heavily, continuously adjusting his breathing, his aura constantly changing, and his body began to heat up.

In a moment, his whole face was flushed, and the temperature in the martial arts room was also rising rapidly.

Lin Qi closed his eyes tightly and operated the "Jin Di Secret Canon"

Performing the cultivation of the blood exchange chapter, his mental power went deep into his body, controlling the Ten Thousand Water Flow to operate to the extreme.

Mobilizing the blood in his body, washing it rapidly inside, his body vibrating.

"Buzz buzz!!"

His mouth vibrated, like the sound of tigers and leopards, and his heart beat powerfully.

The blood was transmitted to every part of his body.

The Blood Spirit Potion began to take effect, his flesh began to transform, and the blood washed away impurities.

In the high temperature, Lin Qi's body began to sweat automatically, and then it was like a broken faucet.

Frantically expelling the moisture from his body; blood is also a liquid, and it was also expelled.

The seventh blood exchange had officially begun!

Lin Qi looked at the sweat being expelled; it only had a sour smell, but soon a simulated bloody smell permeated, and this smell was like rust.

It was also accompanied by a fishy smell.

However, compared to before, this smell had faded a lot.

Thick blood scabs covered his body, and Lin Qi could clearly feel that as he continuously exchanged blood.

The blood in his body was also getting less and less; without impurities, his flesh was also continuously transforming.

Strands of golden light emerged from every part of his body, and mysterious patterns permeated every corner of his body unknowingly.

The human body is extremely complex, like a treasure.

The human body contains too many secrets, even if Lin Qi possesses the ability to see through things, he can see every organ in his body.

And this was only the surface; his body was transforming, and his body was developing towards an extraordinary path.

He even saw a large number of patterns; these patterns had been studied by people across the entire Blue Star, but there had never been any clue.

Only knowing that those were the secrets of the extraordinary, the power of life, and the source of evolution!

Lin Qi also felt dizzy and began to frantically consume functional materials to replenish water.

His bones tingled, especially his bone marrow began to heat up; old blood was expelled, and it created new blood, connecting his entire body.

He had already performed this entire process many times.

With the blood exchange, his body was continuously transforming!
