Secretly checking his Inner Space, Huo Hai added up all the Spirit Energy Beads. The total even startled him. "There are actually more than two thousand. This haul is truly enormous."
After his joy faded, however, Huo Hai felt somewhat depressed. Although obtaining so many Spirit Energy Beads had far exceeded his expectations, there were even more than the total number many large factions had acquired.
The problem was that Huo Hai intended to condense all three thousand Star Cores. Though he did not yet possess the complete cultivation method for the Celestial Star Transformation, he still had to prepare in advance. At the rate of consuming up to three Spirit Energy Beads to condense one Star Core, he would need at least nine thousand Spirit Energy Beads for three thousand Star Cores to be safe. That was the ideal amount.
Even counting the Star Cores that could be condensed with just one or two Spirit Energy Beads, he would still need six or seven thousand in the end. Yet he only had a little over two thousand Spirit Energy Beads in hand. It truly left Huo Hai helpless.
But no matter what, he should improve his strength while he could. While consolidating his cultivation, he could look around for other things that might increase it. There could not possibly be only one kind of item in the Ink Lotus Domain that could improve one's strength.
Besides, he had more than thirty Spirit Beast corpses at the Spirit King Realm. Some had been hunted by himself, but most had been found in the Spatial Rings of the Vast Earth Empire experts Huo Hai had killed. The corpses of these thirty Spirit King Realm sea beasts were also worth an astonishing amount. He would find an opportunity to dispose of them.
