Chapter 346: 5 Star Stats!

Bei Feng immersed himself in the transformative feeling. From the start to the end, this sort of situation was extremely beneficial to him.
“Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang complement each other, yet counter each other. I really wonder if my choice was correct or wrong,” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he walked down the mountain at a brisk pace.
His blood and Qi, as well as his mental power, had been drained, and he needed to replenish it with food. Without the aid of the spirit beast food, he would take at least three days to recover his energy naturally.
After a good sleep, he felt like his mind and body had undergone a transformation. He’d been too focused and insistent on trying to unlock his Extreme Yang stellar acupoint. As a matter of fact, he’d become a little too obsessed.
If he hadn’t sunk into a near state of insight, it would be difficult to avoid draining all his blood and Qi.
“Cultivation is a path filled with perils. If one was not careful, one might not be able to advance due to certain obstructions,” Bei Feng thought with some trepidation in his heart. How many proud geniuses had fallen due to unforeseen obstacles in their martial path, never managing to recover?
Instead, it was those ordinary cultivators who seemed extremely average who had the most unyielding will. These people were in fact more successful later on!
Within the garden, the Medicinal Spirit Flower had already sprouted roots. It was already 10 cm tall now. But for it to bloom, it would still require a large amount of time. And this was with the Grade 9 Savage Beast meat as fertilizer!
If he relied on the current state of the world to grow plants naturally, the time required for them to mature would probably need to be counted in centuries.
The other two types of seeds had also recently began to grow. Both of those seeds were of a higher grade than the Medicinal Spirit Flowers, especially the Grade 8 Fire Grapes!
For this kind of spirit plant, Bei Feng did have an idea on an ideal spot to grow it on—a lava pool!
The Fire Grapes were Grade 8 spirit plants and could absorb nutrients from Earth Fire. The grade of the lava itself would affect how long it took for them to mature.
If it was just normal lava, it might take over a hundred years to mature. But if it was some unique or special lava, the time required for it to grow could possibility be shortened by tens to a hundred times!
At the point of maturity, the Fire Grapes would suck the land they were planted in dry of energy!
In other words, when a Grade 8 Fire Grape plant reached maturity, the volcano it was planted on would be turned into a dead volcano!
Of course, this did not apply to the more powerful volcanoes. The super-volcanoes were enough to support several hundred to thousands of Fire Grape plants!
Bei Feng shook his head, deciding to look for a large volcano to plant these Fire Grapes.
Otherwise, even with the support of Grade 9 Savage Beast meat, it would not be able to reach maturity.
The Fire Grapes were extremely picky when it came to the terrain they were grown in. If the amount of Earth Fire energy they absorbed was not sufficient, they would only manage to grow some leaves. It would be impossible for them to bear fruit.
Bei Feng went to the yard and began practicing his Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique.
The Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique was very useful. Every blood vessel or capillary he cleared would allow his body to carry an additional strand of blood in his body!
If he could clear all the blood vessels in his body, without any exaggeration, it was not impossible that the amount of blood and Qi he could house in his body be several thousand or ten thousand times that of other people with similar cultivation as him!
The only thing was that the difficulty of achieving this was extremely high as well. One jin of Grade 9 Savage Beast meat could only allow him to clear several hundred vessels!
One could easily imagine how many resources this endeavor would require. It would certainly be able to match up to even the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique! In fact, it would be completely within expectations for the cost of training in this technique to grow even higher as he progressed!
Even if he sold Earth itself, he probably would still not have enough resources to clear all his blood vessels!
Seeing that the cost to train in this technique was not too exaggerated for the time being, Bei Feng wanted to seize the opportunity and pour his resources into cultivating it first.
Otherwise, he was afraid that after he broke through to the Controlled Dan realm, one jin of Grade 9 meat would probably only be enough to clear about a dozen vessels!
Despite spending the entire afternoon on cultivation, Bei Feng did not feel dried out. Instead, he was filled with vigor!
By the look of the time, it was not early. Bei Feng began to prepare for dinner early before Mystic Moon had the chance to grumble about hunger.
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed. Both of Bei Feng’s stellar acupoints were emanating large ripples!
It was like two mini-stars had appeared in his body, shining brightly with light!
Bei Feng stood motionlessly, his eyes shut tightly. Copious droplets of dirty sweat were pushed out of his body constantly. His mental power shrunk quickly, condensing deep in his sea of consciousness!
“Hong!”
The mental power that had been condensed to an extreme suddenly burst apart violently, creating a mental power storm in his sea of consciousness!
The mental power that was blown apart began to spread out wildly, quickly breaking through the limits of his 4 star mental power!
A flock of birds were flying past the mountain cliff when the blast of mental power swept over them. The birds felt their bodies stiffen in an instant as they lost consciousness and plummeted from the sky.
The stellar acupoint near his heart was emanating an eye-catching light which illuminated his entire body!
In a mere instant, the impurities which were hidden deeply in Bei Feng’s body were found by the piercing light and incinerated!
His heart was wrapped in a gentle light. The light was actually of an extremely shocking high temperature, but somehow, it didn’t do any harm to Bei Feng’s body. Instead, it was very beneficial to him!
Besides that, there was also a wisp of ethereal flame next to his heart. The two elements combined together had an extremely shocking effect!
The golden light strengthened his heart, while the Alchemical Azure Fire constantly purified his blood of impurities.
Bei Feng opened his eyes slowly. For a moment, his pupils seemed to reflect the sun and the moon, causing others not to dare meet his gaze!
“All my stats have finally reached 5 stars. As expected, this aperture next to the heart is the most important out of all the seven apertures. It actually raised my blood and Qi by 10 percent!” Bei Feng mumbled with satisfaction. His improvements in the last few days were too amazing. The doors behind both his stellar acupoints had already been unlocked. Only, the time it took him to unlock them was a little longer than he’d estimated.
The Extreme Yin stellar acupoint took him several days to fully unlock. And this was with the amplifying effect of the Extreme Yang star complementing it.
The Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin stars each grew a tree within them. The tree within the Extreme Yang star was the Fusang Wood tree, while the one within the Extreme Yin star was the Evergreen Laurel tree!
Both trees were condensed from pure stellar energy, and were barely 20 cm tall.
At this moment, he could be considered to only have started cultivating the technique. If he wanted to nurture the Divine Star, it would still require a long period of time!
Wanting to let this two little trees to tower into the heavens still required an unimaginable amount of stellar energy!
If he could obtain treasures that contained stellar energy that corresponded to the two stars, the process could be greatly shortened.
But if he only relied on the pitiful amount of stellar energy from daily cultivation, it would probably be impossible to nurture those two tiny shoots into towering trees even in a hundred years. Not to mention that developing a Divine Star required the support of large amounts of energy!
Bei Feng made a brief calculation and nearly swallowed his tongue with shock. Fortunately, he’d at least pushed open the doors behind the stellar acupoints. Even if he did not actively cultivate the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique, the stellar acupoints would also absorb stellar energy by themselves!
The only thing was that the speed they did that with was one time slower than when he was cultivating actively. But the good thing was that they would never stop—no matter what he was doing.
“Luckily, I’ve managed to unlock the Extreme Yang stellar acupoint. Otherwise, I would have to give up on cultivating this breathing technique during the day.”
Bei Feng was very pleased when he saw that the Extreme Yin stellar energy he absorbed was all mixed with a wisp of Extreme Yang stellar energy as well. When the Extreme Yang energy was about to be absorbed into the Extreme Yin stellar acupoint, it would be swallowed up into the Extreme Yang stellar acupoint.
