Chapter 605: A New Discovery at the Arena

Seven Kill Star Domain.

Xu Jin was currently researching something he deemed extremely important.

Opening a Star Gate from the Star River Battlefield to enter the Seven Kill Star Domain, and then opening another Star Gate from the Seven Kill Star Domain to enter the mundane world.

This process was equivalent to treating the Seven Kill Star Domain as a bridge between the Star River Battlefield and the mundane world, the kind where the opening points were extremely flexible.

Once successful, the significance would be extraordinary.

Even for a Ninth Tier powerhouse, flying at full speed regardless of the cost to return to the mundane world from the Star River Battlefield would first require passing through layers of teleportation to reach Star River City, then flying back to Star River Pass, and finally returning to the mundane world one by one.

In the middle of this, the fastest it would take is half a day, and that is only if the Star Picking Tower's teleportation is in good condition.

If the Star Picking Tower's teleportation is damaged, this time would have to be extended to more than a day and a half.

As for cultivators below the Ninth and Eighth Tiers, the time to return to the mundane world starts at over a day and a half.

If the Seven Kill Star Domain bridge is established, a large number of elites could return to the mundane world from the Star River Battlefield in an extremely short time, or support the Star River Battlefield from the mundane world.

Whether internally or externally, the significance is extraordinary.

At this very moment, Xu Jin had just opened a Star Gate from outside the 13th Garrison City of the Star River Battlefield to return to the Seven Kill Star Domain.

At a place 500 miles away from this Star Gate, Xu Jin urged the Seven Kill Palace to open a Star Gate leading directly to the mundane world.

After just a slight attempt, Xu Jin felt a sense of nothingness: it was not possible.

Continuing to increase the distance, 1,000 miles away, it didn't work.

2,000 miles away, still didn't work.

5,000 miles, still didn't work.

10,000 miles away, still didn't work.

As Xu Jin frowned, he directly crossed another 5,000 miles to attempt opening a Star Gate 15,000 miles away, but it was still not possible.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin looked at the newly opened Star Gate and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It succeeded.

But the distance was much further than Xu Jin had imagined.

The distance between the two Star Gates reached 36,000 miles.

Basically, if the Star Gate communicating with the Star River Battlefield is opened in the east, then the Star Gate communicating with the mundane world is opened in the west, 36,000 miles away in a straight line.

This distance looks very long, but for the flight speed of Ninth and Eighth Tier powerhouses, it is still very short.

From entering the Seven Kill Star Domain to leaving the Seven Kill Star Domain and arriving in the mundane world, it only takes a little over half an hour, which is a little over one hour.

As for Xu Jin, this distance is equivalent to nothing.

The key is that the significance for elites below the Eighth Tier is completely different.

Below the Eighth Tier, they can all be transported via Star Boats.

Theoretically, at most one hour, they could be transported from the Star River Battlefield to the mundane world.

Counting the assembly and queuing time, two hours at most.

This counts as the last insurance Xu Jin gives to Chen Guo and the mundane world in extreme situations.

He was completely relieved.

Of course, Xu Jin would not let the several major Star Halls know about this secret too early.

So right now, Xu Jin was not in a hurry to return to the mundane world through the Star Gate.

There are countless eyes and ears from all sides in the mundane world, and Xu Jin intends to return at a normal speed.

It just so happens that taking advantage of this time, Xu Jin wants to solve the problem of his own cultivation resources within the Seven Kill Star Domain.

This time, counting the Seventh Tier spiritual herbs for improving cultivation given by various parties for intelligence, plus those given by the Grand Master here, Xu Jin obtained a total of 29 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs.

Besides that, previously when sweeping the Seventh Tier Star Domain and Sixth Tier Star Domain, he obtained a total of 22 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs, plus previous sporadic seizures, Xu Jin had a total of 55 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs in his hands.

Don't look at 55 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs for improving cultivation as a lot, but in reality, it only equates to 55 Seventh Tier Pure Pearls.

Theoretically, it is only enough for Xu Jin to condense and cast seven to eight layers of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Counting the nearly 100 Sixth Tier spiritual herbs in his hands, he can at most condense and cast about nine layers of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

And in Xu Jin's estimation, the limit of his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower should be 108 layers.

Because Xu Jin's Upper, Middle, and Lower Three Star Palaces have a total of 108 Star Cores.

These cultivation resources want to raise Xu Jin's cultivation to the limit and then break through to the Seventh Tier, which is far from enough.

As for going to the Eight Desolations Continent to rob again, Xu Jin felt that would be playing with fire, the risk is too great.

The three major forces of the Eight Desolations Continent were all offended to death by Xu Jin.

Once Xu Jin appears, it is estimated that it would be a concerted effort, a worldwide pursuit of Xu Jin.

If he really went to rob another wave, Xu Jin wouldn't be bold, but stupid.

But Xu Jin didn't want to slow down the progress of his cultivation.

Xu Jin wanted to break through to the Seventh Tier in the shortest time.

In the end, he set his sights on these Seventh Tier spiritual herbs and the Arena.

The melting and refining function of the Arena, theoretically, should be able to melt and refine Seventh Tier spiritual herbs into Eighth Tier spiritual herbs.

But before this, Xu Jin only melted and refined Sixth Tier spiritual herbs into Seventh Tier spiritual herbs.

He had not yet tried melting and refining Eighth Tier ones.

At this very moment, Xu Jin just wanted to try melting and refining Seventh Tier spiritual herbs into Eighth Tier ones, and at the same time see what the effect is when using Eighth Tier spiritual herbs for cultivation.

With a thought, Xu Jin had already appeared inside the Seven Kill Palace.

Nowadays, the Seven Kill Palace is already a holy land in the hearts of the Seven Kill people.

Let alone entering, they don't even dare to approach, because this is the dwelling place of a god.

Inside the Seven Kill Palace, Xu Jin took out a Seventh Tier spiritual herb, and then carefully sensed the power components contained within this Seventh Tier spiritual herb.

This is a Seventh Tier spiritual herb where water and wood generate each other.

The Mingji Star Pattern quickly sensed its origin attributes clearly, close to a one-to-two ratio.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin took this Seventh Tier spiritual herb above the Arena and urged the melting and refining function.

First is the special rhyme power.

Under the urging of melting and refining, with the origin and law stars operating and shining simultaneously, it induced a large amount of starlight to merge into the Seventh Tier spiritual herb, first simultaneously injecting the Profound Water Rhyme and the Verdant Wood Rhyme, in a one-to-two ratio.

The starlight flickered continuously, the rhyme power merged, continuously turning into the spiritual essence of the Seventh Tier spiritual herb. Half a quarter of an hour later, the initial refining was completed. Xu Jin again injected one strand of water-type Heaven and Earth Star Will and two strands of wood-type Heaven and Earth Star Will. Almost simultaneously, these three strands of Heaven and Earth Star Will were melted and refined by the Arena into a large mass of spiritual essence, directly wrapping this Seventh Tier spiritual herb.

Red-fire colored starlight surged. A quarter of an hour later, the moment all the spiritual essence merged into this Seventh Tier spiritual herb, Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern suddenly sensed that the internal part of this spiritual herb had changed.

It was undergoing a rapid transformation.

At the same time, one after another, starlight containing majestic star power was induced down from the Arena and directly injected into this Eighth Tier spiritual herb that had just completed its transformation, causing the aura of this Eighth Tier spiritual herb to climb rapidly.

87 strands.

It took a full 87 strands of starlight from the Arena to be injected before the aura of this Eighth Tier spiritual herb completely stabilized.

This number made Xu Jin slightly surprised.

Counting the previous consumption, it was almost 100 strands.

You must know, if Xu Jin's current cultivation were all consumed, and he used the Arena's starlight to recover, it would only consume about 140-plus strands.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin looked at the freshly baked Eighth Tier spiritual herb in front of him and began to refine and absorb the medicinal power within on the spot, using it to condense and cast the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Xu Jin wanted to test, how much cultivation can an Eighth Tier spiritual herb, which can be called a peerless treasure, help him improve?

After all, for this spiritual herb, just rising from Seventh Tier to Eighth Tier consumed one strand of Profound Water Rhyme, two strands of Verdant Wood Rhyme, one strand of water-type Heaven and Earth Star Will, and two strands of wood-type Heaven and Earth Star Will.

This consumption amount is large enough.

If these few resources were taken outside, they could absolutely be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of Sixth Tier Star Jade Tablets.

Unfortunately, Sixth Tier Star Jade Tablets are of no benefit to Xu Jin's cultivation.

As soon as he began to absorb and refine the medicinal power, a look of surprise appeared in Xu Jin's eyes.

This medicinal power is much more vigorous than he imagined.

Seven hours later, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower in Xu Jin's body trembled slightly.

The 72nd layer of the Nine-Cornered Cloud Tower was condensed.

But the medicinal power of this Eighth Tier spiritual herb had only been consumed by a little over two-thirds.

This made Xu Jin extremely pleasantly surprised.

He still had 36 layers of the Nine-Cornered Cloud Tower that needed to be condensed and cast, but according to this medicinal power, theoretically, he would need at most 24 Eighth Tier spiritual herbs to be able to condense and cast the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower to the limit.

Out of the 45 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs, Xu Jin only needs to melt and refine 24 of them into Eighth Tier spiritual herbs.

Of course, Xu Jin will melt and refine as many Eighth Tier spiritual herbs as possible.

If there is a chance, he will also raise the cultivation of others along the way.

Having capable people to handle things, Xu Jin is more relaxed.

He conveniently called over Hou Yunzhang and Tan Zhi, the two Domain Lords and Deputy Domain Lords who manage the Seven Kill Star Domain for Xu Jin, as well as subordinates like Zhong Weili and Ye Yanfeng. After opening the Arena Lamp Domain, he let them comprehend the star patterns, while Xu Jin himself focused wholeheartedly on melting, refining, and upgrading the spiritual herbs.

Finishing the melting, refining, and upgrading of these spiritual herbs, and then going to the mundane world, the time would be just about right.

And just in the process of Xu Jin continuously melting, refining, and upgrading the spiritual herbs, Xu Jin discovered another wonder of the Arena, or rather, the Arena Lamp Domain.

The Arena's melting, refining, and upgrading method should have two types.

One is the fierce fire-style melting and refining, which requires a large amount of external objects to support.

Which is the method Xu Jin is using now.

The second type, however, is Star Lamp Nourishing, Melting, and Refining.

This point is also something Xu Jin only discovered today.

Before this, the nourishing function of the Arena's star lamps was actually becoming increasingly like a chicken rib.

At most, it could only nourish the medicinal effect of a certain spiritual herb to the limit, achieving a top-grade state.

As for the three nourishments of elixirs, the elixirs Xu Jin can use nowadays are becoming fewer and fewer, at least this world doesn't have them.

It also became a chicken rib.

So he had been nourishing spiritual herbs all along.

But just today, Xu Jin suddenly discovered an abnormality.

The Seventh Tier spiritual herbs inside the star lamps suddenly became more numerous.

In the six star lamps, originally Xu Jin had placed six spiritual herbs in each star lamp to nourish, nourishing their medicinal power to the maximum.

Because the Seventh Tier spiritual herbs in Xu Jin's hands before were only that many, before getting Seventh Tier spiritual herbs from the Star Lords of the mundane world, Xu Jin only had 22 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs in his hands.

All placed inside the star lamps to nourish.

The 36 nourishing positions of the six star lamps held a total of 22 Seventh Tier spiritual herbs, and the rest were all Sixth Tier spiritual herbs.

Can't just let them sit idle and waste, right?

This number, Xu Jin remembered very clearly.

But just now when taking the well-nourished Seventh Tier spiritual herbs, Xu Jin suddenly discovered that among the 36 spiritual herbs being nourished, a full 31 were Seventh Tier spiritual herbs.

This directly stunned Xu Jin.

Nine Seventh Tier spiritual herbs appeared out of thin air?

Very quickly, Xu Jin analyzed the reason.

It should be that after the Arena was upgraded to the Sixth Tier, the nourishing function of the star lamps changed.

Moreover, this must involve the participation of the Arena's origin and law stars.

One origin star and six law stars hung high above the star lamps, scattering starlight, constantly shining and moistening these spiritual herbs nourished inside the star lamps.

This effect is actually similar to the effect of nourishing with the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon.

It might even be stronger.

The essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon nourishes all things, that is universal love, but the stars of the Arena, that love is called focused.

Shining on the star lamps day and night, moistening the nourished objects inside the star lamps.

Xu Jin recalled, the first batch of Sixth Tier spiritual herbs placed inside the star lamps should have been there for over a month.

Sufficient time, plus the nourishing of the star lamps, plus the shining and moistening of the origin and law stars, plus the constant injection of the Arena's starlight, achieved the upgrade.

Time, it might take a month.

This might not catch up to Xu Jin's current cultivation needs, but it will definitely be enough in the future.

Moreover, this is absolutely a way to make money!

At the moment, while Xu Jin was melting, refining, and upgrading the Seventh Tier spiritual herbs needed for cultivation into Eighth Tier spiritual herbs, he placed a batch of new Sixth and Seventh Tier spiritual herbs into the Arena and recorded the time.

He wants to test, how long will it take for the Sixth Tier Arena star lamps, under the shining of the law stars, to upgrade Sixth Tier spiritual herbs to Seventh Tier?

How long will it take to upgrade Seventh Tier spiritual herbs to Eighth Tier?
