Chapter 1457: Qi Luck Cultivation
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
The remaining medicinal potency of the Purple Gold Divine Sense Pill has been completely absorbed by Xiao Feng, and the willpower for skill improvement has also consolidated, stabilizing at 1.28 million.
Although it's still very far from 100 million, it's still much stronger than before.
The most notable thing is that the Source Needle can now fire 42 at once, able to either focus on the same target or scatter to release around, with high flexibility and strong power, equivalent to a scattered tier-1 secret art.
Over the seven days, Xiao Feng also successfully comprehended the Five Elements Wood System Law, gaining a minor tempering effect.
However, the Xuanwu Battle Body still hasn't been learned; the difficulty of the tier-7 secret art is somewhat high.
"Leveling up is getting harder and harder..."
Xiao Feng finished his training, and his level happened to reach 515.
Looking at the cultivation needed for the next level: 8.9 billion.
Then a system notification sounded.
【Ding~ Your efforts have been recognized by the Civilization Acknowledgement! Civilization Lord "Blind Archer" has granted you 44,523,126 points of Zuzun Qi Yun, automatically converted to 445,231,257 points of cultivation!】
"Ning'er is always on time every time." Xiao Feng smiled knowingly.
Whenever his level increases, Jiang Ning immediately gives him full Qi Luck, directly halving the upgrade difficulty.
Otherwise, he would probably be only around level 510 now.
This year's Civilization Sword has not changed hands; there are hardly any capable of challenging Jiang Ning in this region, and they're all allies, so naturally no one would idle and seek trouble for no reason.
Actually, even if Zuzun Qi Yun weren't given to Xiao Feng, his own faith points could offset most of the consumption needed for leveling up.
After eight days of development in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, Shen Jie has passed 80 days, and the followers of the Origin Divine Temple have grown to 120 million, still steadily increasing.
It is said that his Origin Divine Temple has always been packed to capacity; the caretakers, to look after players' emotions, voluntarily widened the originally 5-meter-wide gate to 30 meters, matching the standard of the main city divine temple present since the area opened, and the entire temple's scale has also been upgraded.
After the expansion, the followers' growth rate surged; now about ten million people can squeeze in each day to sign in, and with the new followers' contributions, daily faith increase is roughly 48 million, basically enough to offset his leveling consumption.
However, considering that he once single-handedly gathered over ten billion Zuzun Qi Yun, everyone thinks it's reasonable to use Qi Luck to help him level up; when demand later becomes too great to support, we'll stop this supply.
After leveling up, today's 12-hour training time has also arrived.
Xiao Feng didn't want to log off temporarily, so he rode Da Bai up to the treetop of Little Jianmu to find Xuan Die, the Demon Emperor.
Having stayed here for so many days, he has become familiar with many people and affairs near Little Jianmu, spending three or four hours each day strolling outside.
Either patrolling the Hundred Flowers Valley, or wandering the 'public area' on the tree, interacting with those he meets.
After a few days, he basically knows all the fairies that often come out to walk around.
"Her Majesty the Empress, Xiao Feng has arrived."
Xiao Feng arrived at the gate of the Butterfly Emperor Palace; Cai Yi stood there like a guard, reminding the Demon Emperor inside.
"Let him in." The Demon Emperor's voice came from inside.
At this moment, the main hall is empty, with no one in sight.
Obviously, Xuan Die is in the rear hall's living area.
Xiao Feng entered the hall, going around from the small door to the back.
First he passed through a passageway entwined with azure vines, then a room for storing things, displaying some exquisite items collected by the Demon Emperor.
After going further in, it was her sleeping quarters.
The door wasn't closed; a waft of rich fragrance came over, all the scent of a hundred flowers.
Xiao Feng felt it a bit abrupt, so he stood outside without entering and shouted: "Junior Xiao Feng has a matter to ask the senior."
Xuan Die said: "Enter."
Only then did he walk in.
The Demon Emperor's sleeping quarters aren't very large, similar to a mortal emperor's residence. The interior is simple yet elegant, with flowers dotted about, and the tables, chairs, and beds are shaped from natural wood and plants. Outside the window is the edge of Little Jianmu's treetop, with the sky and clouds beneath the house, giving the feeling of being in the heavenly court's immortal palace.
Xuan Die is in casual attire, not deliberately dressed up, currently sitting on the ground with a tea table before her, turned sideways toward Xiao Feng.
On her other side is the door to the "balcony"; light shines in, and from Xiao Feng's perspective, one can see a perfect side profile line.
"Would you like some tea?" Xuan Die asked.
"Thank you, senior, for the gift."
Xiao Feng replied, walked over and sat opposite her across the tea table.
Xuan Die personally brewed the tea, her movements practiced and posture elegant; if one didn't know, they'd surely think she was a human, not a Demon Emperor.
"Senior, you seem well-versed in the tea ceremony?" Xiao Feng asked.
She slightly shook her head: "Just copying the cat to draw the tiger; I want to imitate the lifestyle of powerful humans, but as a demon race, I ultimately feel out of place."
Xiao Feng hurriedly said: "How could that be? As long as one is a sentient being, they can choose whatever life they want. Demons or humans, aren't we all part of the myriad creatures of heaven and earth?"
Xuan Die pursed her lips and smiled faintly upon hearing that: "Your eloquence is excellent, just to my liking; have some tea."
"Many thanks, Her Majesty the Empress!"
Xiao Feng smiled as if presenting a treasure, and with both hands received the fragrant tea she personally handed over.
【Hundred Flowers Tea】: Tier 5 Divine Medicine, all attributes +500, usable twice in a lifetime.
This tea also has attributes, and its quality is very high.
Xiao Feng sniffed the aroma, as if he were in the Hundred Flowers Valley.
He couldn't help but recall the Flying Bird Chief God's Hundred Flowers Brew.
One is tea, the other is alcohol; although they are similar, the feeling is completely different.
Just like their makers, one is a graceful, charming Winged Race Goddess, the other is a pure and noble Demon Race Empress.
"How is it?"
Xuan Die asked him how he felt.
Xiao Feng tasted the tea and praised: "Good tea, second in the universe!"
"Huh? Only second?" Xuan Die raised her eyebrows, her eyes giving a warning.
Obviously she is very confident in the flower tea she made herself, and she won't tolerate a junior's doubt.
Xiao Feng gave a hehe smile: "Of course the number one in the universe is the Creator God's Myriad Things Source Qi tea; we definitely have to give face to the Creator God. But in my heart, I still think Her Majesty the Empress's Hundred Flowers tea is better!"
"Flattery and smooth talk. Have you ever drunk tea made by the Creator God?" Xuan Die brushed off his dissatisfaction lightly, and at the same time asked.
"Hmm, earlier I obtained a batch of tea leaves in the Myriad Heavens Tower, then found suitable water for brewing tea from a certain God King, and shared it with him." Xiao Feng answered.
Xuan Die said regretfully: "What a pity, missed out on a good thing. Next time if you have such a good thing again, remember to keep it and bring it to honor me, your senior."
"All right." Xiao Feng readily agreed.
Xuan Die poured him another cup; the two permanent effects were maxed out, all attributes +1000.
Then Xuan Die said: "What do you want from me? Tired of staying and want to go out?"
