Half an hour later, Su Xinghe slumped onto the ground, his face full of dejection.
It was confirmed: he needed two thousand Qi-Gathering Pills to fill the progress bar for fifth-rank core embrace.
Exchanging for one Qi-Gathering Pill at the Demon Suppression Bureau cost a hundred points.
And earning a hundred points required killing a Half-Demon.
That meant he had to kill two thousand Half-Demons to scrape together enough points for the exchange.
Su Xinghe felt a little weary at heart.
No wonder he had to go to the Outer Battlefield after reaching fifth-rank core embrace. Where in the Zhou Martial Sage Dynasty could he find so many Half-Demons waiting for him to kill?
Without Qi-Gathering Pills, cultivation could only proceed through slow, persistent grinding.
Helpless, he could only turn his attention to his other secret techniques.
He looked at Water True Intent, which was about to break through again, and Nine Thunder Blade Slashes inside his Demon Suppression Bureau token.
He ruthlessly cast aside the thought of taking a proper rest.
He let out a long breath of stale air.
Taking out the token, he extended his psychic power into it.
With Nine Thunder Blade Slashes, each slash opened up a new realm.
Starting from the first slash, every additional slash increased the previous slash's power by fifty percent.
From his body's base strength with the first slash to one and a half times that with the second, the power built until the ninth slash unleashed twenty-six times his base strength.
How much strength did I have again...?
His body's base qi-blood strength was five thousand jin, rising to ten thousand when he added a burst of internal force.
Calculated that way, once he perfected all nine slashes, the final slash could reach a maximum of 250,006 jin.
