Chapter 982: Star Beast, Star Core (Second update, requesting all)

PS: The Wutu Essence was changed to Geng Metal Elite; no wonder I always felt Adai had absorbed it before.

To promote to a Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, one needs a portion of World Power, a Star Beast Heart, and a Star Core.

World Power is easy enough to talk about; although it is extremely difficult for other kings to collect, it is not a problem at all for Li Zhangsheng.

One cubic meter of World Power is called a portion. After a month of accumulation, the World Power in Li Zhangsheng's hands has long exceeded one portion.

It is just that the latter two items are not easy to handle.

Star Beasts live in the starry sky; their bodies are extremely large, and their growth cycles are extremely long. However, as long as they reach adulthood, they can reach the Demon Saint level. The key is that their numbers are extremely scarce, and their strength is far superior to ordinary Saint Grade Spirit Pet, with combat power comparable to a Demon Commander, only much more troublesome to deal with.

In addition, only adult Star Beasts meet the requirements, so Li Zhangsheng dismissed the idea of beating up "little ones."

As for the final Star Core, this is the most difficult treasure to collect.

The so-called Star Core is the core of a star. Each star has only one core. If one artificially seizes the Star Core, the Star Core will explode, and its power is far beyond the scope of ordinary people's imagination. I am afraid that even an Emperor Rank spirit pet might not be able to retreat unscathed.

Only when a star's "lifespan" ends will it leave behind a Star Core, and the nature of the Star Core will also become extremely gentle, no longer as violent as before.

If it is a Star Beast Heart, as long as one goes to the outer interface and spends some time, there is always a chance to find a Star Beast.

The Star Core is not easy to handle. Although stars are countless, their "lifespans" are extremely high, often measured in ten-thousand-year units. The possibility of finding a star that has naturally perished is extremely slim.

In addition, the Star Core also belongs to the category of World Wonder, so its value can be imagined. Every time a Star Core appears, it will inevitably lead to disputes among kings.

No matter how you look at it, the difficulty coefficient of upgrading the Nine-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform to the Ten-Grade is not ordinary.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Zhangsheng is afraid that it will take quite a long time to collect these materials.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng began to comprehend the functions of the Nine-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Compared with the Eight-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, the functions of the Nine-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform have all been improved significantly in all aspects.

The only pity is that no new functions appeared.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zhangsheng believes that the Star Palace Lotus Platform will only give birth to new abilities after being promoted to a Purple Mansion Rare Treasure.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng was quite satisfied. For him, the greatest function of the Star Palace Lotus Platform is to greatly increase his cultivation speed, and the rest can only be counted as bonus items.

It was also at this time that Adai finally refined the Geng Metal Elite.

Adai's body size did not change much; the biggest change was that the bronze-colored skin faintly revealed wisps of golden light.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Bronze Behemoth (Growth Stage, Demi-God Beast, comprehends Mystery, greatly enhances skill power; Mystery Guard: exempts some damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.) <>

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King 6th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Higher Overlord

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Golden Behemoth (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth + Gold

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None <>

This is Adai's panel. Among Li Zhangsheng's many spirit pets, Adai is the one that has absorbed the most Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of special properties.

Only with the blessing of these abilities does Adai possess the ability to challenge those of higher levels.

However, because Adai stayed at the Pseudo-Demon King level for a period of time, its progress lagged behind a bit. By the three-month deadline, I am afraid it will be unable to attempt a breakthrough.

After retracting Adai, space ripples appeared in front of Li Zhangsheng.

In an instant, Li Zhangsheng disappeared and appeared in the Secret Realm, to be precise, in the northwest corner.

This place is still a wasteland, the place opened up last time using World Power.

Kailan chose to refine alchemical pills here. Firstly, it can be as undisturbed as possible, and secondly, if an accident occurs, it will not destroy the surrounding things, reducing losses to a minimum.

Li Zhangsheng did not disturb Kailan, just hiding in the void, quietly watching Kailan refine pills.

The furnace fire was vigorous, and wisps of medicinal fragrance drifted out from the many holes on the furnace.

Not far from Kailan, a small pile of gray-black waste pills was piled up; obviously, these were the products after failure.

Li Zhangsheng glanced at the vessel containing the Nether Moon Lotus and found that there were three left. Excluding one used for cultivation, Kailan could use two more.

From the current situation, Kailan has already failed once, and this is the second time.

Unlike refining the Ten Directions Nether Pill, this time, Kailan was much more "generous," no longer refining one portion at a time, but one furnace at a time.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of the former is seeking stability, and the disadvantage is that it is too troublesome, and the refining time is significantly longer. The advantage of the latter is that it is more convenient, and as long as it succeeds once, one can obtain a furnace of pills at one time. The disadvantage is that if it fails, all the materials in the furnace are wasted.

It is hard to say which is better or worse, but an Alchemist's energy is limited, so they basically focus on the latter.

The reason why Kailan no longer seeks stability is not only because the recipe for the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill is well-known to her, but also related to the quantity of materials.

Last time, the materials for the Ten Directions Nether Pill could only refine one furnace, so she could only choose to seek stability.

This time it is different; Kailan can refine four furnaces in total. If it were not for the quantity limit of the Nether Moon Lotus, she could have refined more times.

Although Star Snatching Grass, Heavenly Mango, and Nether Moon Lotus are all Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the Top-tier Heaven and Earth Essence grade, the former two are products of this world, which Li Zhangsheng had already cultivated. Added to the contributions of the Langya Kingdom Imperial Family, there are nearly ten portions of each.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Even though Kailan focused and watched carefully, a deviation still occurred in a certain detail, causing this furnace of pills to fall short of success and become a furnace of waste pills.

Kailan was not discouraged. After cleaning up the waste pills in the furnace with ease, she began to put in the third portion of materials, preparing to refine the third furnace.

At this moment, Kailan's spirit was extremely concentrated, as if she had fallen into some special state of mind. Li Zhangsheng did not stop her; he guessed that Kailan had entered a state of meditation.

This is a special state. Alchemists, artifact refiners, and other secondary professions may enter this state, but the probability is very, very low.

But it is certain that as long as one is in a state of meditation, attention will be highly concentrated, hands-on ability will become more natural, and the grasp of details will be higher. Correspondingly, the success rate of refining pills will also be improved.
