308 Divine Palace 4
Chapter 308, 308 Divine Palace IV
At this moment, Lin Hui appeared smiling and calm, speaking as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
But in reality, a hidden killing intent had already quietly locked onto Bai Lu.
A strange, subtle light flashed in Bai Lu's eyes.
"That's easy."
He reached out and tapped lightly on the table beside him.
thump.
In an instant, a ring of transparent ripples spread out from where he struck.
The ripples spread at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound, disappearing in an astonishing flash, bursting out of the divine palace, and spreading out to cover the entire divine realm spanning thousands of kilometers.
All the previously anxious, restless, and chaotic Mist Gods and their descendants quickly calmed down as the sound wave spread.
It was as if all the emotions of the gods had been forcibly ripped away and disappeared at this moment.
The terror of this move was not only seen by Lin Hui, but also made Shen Yin and Di Yun's scalps tingle.
This enormous divine force, now strengthened by the Dharma Seal, has over thirty mid-level divine beings who were once on par with them. Yet, at this moment, they were all instantly calmed down.
What incredible strength!
Lin Hui's performance was already terrifying, but the white deer of unknown origin displayed even more monstrous abilities!
The two gods secretly groaned, knowing that they were truly doomed this time.
With these two monsters around, who knows how low our fate will fall?
"A very interesting power." Lin Hui nodded, thankfully he hadn't encountered only useless people this time.
The white deer's strength was now even greater than Lei Ming's after his previous breakthrough. This had already surpassed the category of great divine power, which was above powerful divine power.
From this perspective, Bai Lu seemed to be handling things with ease, which made him very curious about the other party's true capabilities and how far they could go.
Seemingly sensing his curiosity, Bai Lu quickly lowered her head modestly.
"I have done my best, but this is all I can do. Is the Dao Lord satisfied?"
"Satisfied." Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to back down, Lin Hui stopped pressing him. The current state of the Divine Palace was enough to achieve his initial goal.
Next, it's time for the second step of the plan: finding the medicine!
Yes.
The reason he gathered so many Mist Gods and their descendants was actually to find as many aphrodisiac medicines as possible before Haiming's pollution destroyed the medicines!
That's his real goal.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to bring in those divine descendants who could wipe out a whole group with a single sword strike.
Even if these divine descendants have the power to improve their abilities, their strength does not have the potential for growth.
Because the advancement of the Mist Gods, the descendants of the gods, is not based on their own cultivation, but rather on the number of believers in their territory and the efficiency with which faith converts into divine power. Therefore, even if they were to practice martial arts like the Typhoon Sword Technique, they would not become stronger.
This is determined by the power system.
The internal strife among the gods was suppressed in just half a day. Everything was as Lin Hui had said; he did not stop those who wanted to leave.
However, after realizing that quitting would truly mean losing the secret techniques of the seal, the remaining Mist Gods and Divine Descendants hesitated.
They all chose to stay. This inner choice, coupled with the fate of gods like Lei Ming, strengthened their resolve to follow the Qingfeng Path.
Three days later.
With the Zhenlong Divine Palace completely stabilized, apart from a very small number of neurotic individuals with severe persecution complex who left, the remaining 90% of the Mist God's descendants completely submitted to Lin Hui and supported him as the Palace Master.
Then, an order to collect medicine was issued from the shrine.
Lin Hui sat upright in the divine palace, while his divine descendants, the Mist Gods, scattered in all directions, searching for any precious medicines they might come across and bringing them back.
Compared to the Fog People, they control a wider and larger territory, and their natural domains contain a greater variety and rarity of wild medicinal herbs.
However, due to the lack of a systematic cultivation method, the number of precious medicinal herbs that can be collected is not large.
The advantage is that these precious medicines are very, very old!
In just five days, precious medicinal herbs, at the very least a thousand years old, were delivered to Lin Hui.
Ten thousand-year-old Illusionary Dragon Lotus plants, which I haven't seen in a long time, have arrived.
Twenty of the three-thousand-year-old Ziyunzhi mushrooms arrived in one go.
Hundreds of Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, some dating back ten thousand years, were transported over.
There were also a few even rarer aphrodisiacs, such as the Jiushen Grass, a herb with extremely potent properties that only grows an inch tall in ten thousand years. The one found this time was a full five inches long!
This single Jiu Shen grass is comparable to hundreds of Zi Yun Zhi plants.
The continuous flow of aphrodisiac medicines brought back to Lin Hui made him realize for the first time what true abundance and resources meant.
Compared to a major trading city like Black Cloud, the only problem with the Mist Gods' territories is that their inhabitants have no awareness of cultivation and recklessly destroy precious medicines. Otherwise, the amount they have collected would probably be more than a hundred times that of Black Cloud!
It can be said that he has never fought such a rich battle since birth.
A vast quantity of rare medicinal herbs, accumulated over countless millennia, were frantically converging on him.
The transport of precious medicines only slowed down after the surrounding islands and sea areas had been thoroughly raided.
Even so, Lin Hui had already accumulated a terrifying amount of precious medicines.
We can't use it all, we simply can't use it all!
He simply stayed indoors, sending someone to secretly report that he was safe and sound, and then devoted himself to taking medicine and cultivating in the shrine.
On the very first day of his seclusion, he pushed the progress of the Nine Heavens Thunder Sound technique to the point where there were only a dozen or so years left.
He deliberately slowed down the rate at which he took the medicine because he was worried that the medicine would not be absorbed properly and would be wasted.
Early the next morning. Deep within the shrine, in the largest of the inner palaces.
Lin Hui sat cross-legged in the center of the ancient and magnificent white-gold palace. The medicinal fragrance around him was so rich that it was almost tangible, and it had formed a light green, smoke-like substance that slowly swirled around a Spirit Mushroom in his hand.
This is a Ganoderma lucidum that is at least 20,000 years old. Based on the efficacy of the medicines he took, the efficacy of these precious herbs increases significantly with each additional thousand years of age. As for the exact increase, there is no fixed number; it depends entirely on the amount of nutrients absorbed during the herb's growth and development.
Even if the year is the same, the medicinal effects can vary drastically depending on the environment.
The age of Ganoderma lucidum is mainly determined by the serrated marks on its edges; the more serrated marks there are, the older the mushroom is.
However, regardless of the specifics, its medicinal effects are definitely far superior to those of ordinary Ganoderma lucidum.
Lin Hui looked at the last twelve years of evolution time of the blood mark below his field of vision and sighed inwardly.
He has more than thirty such Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, and hundreds more that are less than ten thousand years old, not even counting other precious medicinal herbs.
We can't finish it, we simply can't finish it!
"Nine Heavens Thunder Sound. Let me see just how strong you really are!"
Without hesitation, he stuffed the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand into his mouth, bit it off, chewed it, and swallowed it.
A massive, scalding heat surged from his throat into his stomach, then transformed into small, fiery snakes that spread throughout his body and limbs.
The potency of this medicine is so terrifying that, according to Lin Hui's estimation, if an ordinary person were to take a single bite, they would instantly suffer from dehydration and die on the spot.
For ordinary people, this potent Ganoderma lucidum is no longer considered a precious medicine, but rather a deadly poison.
As the effects of the medicine continue to spread.
The bloodstain information in Lin Hui's field of vision also began to jump rapidly.
The progress belonging to the Nine Heavens Thunder Sound is decreasing rapidly.
One second.
Two seconds
Five seconds!
laugh.
In an instant, a clear, sharp sound, like the ringing of a sword, pierced his ears.
'Nine Heavens Thunder Sound evolution complete. Activate now?'
"No." Lin Hui did not choose to activate.
This is a direct evolution of the Qingfei Mountain Grand Formation. He is not currently in the Black Clouds. If the Grand Formation is activated and causes some unpredictable negative effects, it will be a huge problem.
It would be better to wait until he returns and personally oversee the activation process.
The completion of this grand formation's evolution essentially laid the foundation for Qingfei Mountain's top-tier formation protection.
Even if pollution from Haiming intensifies in the future, we will have the resources to combat it.
The only troublesome thing is the damage caused by wind disasters.
but.
Lin Hui turned his head and glanced at the boxes of precious medicines piled up in the corner of the palace.
These precious medicines, at the very least, are thousands of years old, and that is his greatest source of confidence!
Now that he can use precious medicines at will, and the Mist Gods, who possess vast territories, have become his largest suppliers of medicines, Lin Hui finally has the confidence to put his long-held desire to test the Blood Seal to the limit.
'Before, we were afraid of wasting medicine because there wasn't enough. Now that we have such a large quantity of precious medicine, it's time to truly evolve a trump card that can reverse everything,' Lin Hui thought to himself.
What is it that can truly turn everything around in a desperate situation?
Is it an extremely powerful relic or treasure?
'If it doesn't evolve, it's too powerful, and the relics and treasures will likely require even greater resources. Furthermore, the evolution of the Blood Seal is too uncertain; if it evolves and causes too much trouble, it could lead to significant problems.'
He wasn't so blindly confident that he thought he was invincible.
The waters of this world are very, very deep.
Putting aside other things, the Duke of Purgatory, who is not far away, has a similar characteristic of becoming stronger the more he is injured, which is similar to that of the Great City Lord Xie Chang'an.
If the Duke of Purgatory is this strong, then there must be more than just him as a powerful figure within Purgatory.
There's also the extreme cold, the world of ashes, and the decaying power of the native land. If decay can repel so much polluting power, he doesn't believe that the power shown so far is enough. There must be an even larger, hidden undercurrent that hasn't yet been revealed.
So, no rush. No rush.
Come back to your senses.
Lin Hui suddenly realized what he needed most urgently.
'Let's evolve things like the Signs to their limit first. These arcane effects can enhance both ourselves and our subordinates, and they can quickly assess loyalty and recruit people into our ranks.'
"As for the rest, no matter how strong I am, I can't be with my family every moment. I still need my subordinates to protect and support me."
Having made his decision, he immediately began to concentrate his mind, focusing the evolution of the Blood Seal on the four major Dharma Seals of Qingfeng Dao.
But what he got was the evolution of each individual seal. He paused and recalled the previous evolution methods.
The evolution of the Dharma Seal previously stemmed from the evolution of the entire Qingfeng Dao, which would take fifty years.
Now, Lin Hui is starting afresh, setting his sights once again on the evolution of the entire sect.
'Nine Heavens Pure Breeze Sect: A martial arts sect founded by Lin Hui, inheriting the Nine Heavens Sect's techniques. Specialized martial arts: Perfect version of the Pure Breeze Swordplay, Gale Swordplay'
The rest of the text is an introduction to Qingfeng Dao.
Lin Hui skipped over that and looked at the last part.
Evolutionary branch: 6.
coming!
His spirits lifted; perhaps this evolution would give him a chance to escape the troubles of the Seven Annihilation True Monarchs of the Nine Heavens Sect.
