Activating the Black Iron Grade Hidden Soul Star is Jiang Ziliu's most urgent task at present.
He didn't lack the main material, Soul Crystal, but he still needed to find a way to prepare some other high-quality auxiliary materials.
However, he absolutely cannot appear at Base No. 10 under the name and image of Li Tao now.
Jiang Ziliu recreated the appearance of a refined young man using Flesh Shapeshifting.
This is his new disguise.
But no matter which alias he uses, his appearance is of a fairly ordinary type.
Think about it, a handsome guy or an extremely ugly person can both leave a deep impression on others.
Wouldn't that increase the risk of exposing your information?
The black market at Base No. 10 is located in a cave in a small valley that used to be part of Base No. 10.
He didn't plan to go to Base No. 10 to buy materials because his new identity didn't yet have the corresponding identification.
The pseudonym Li Tao will no longer be used.
The black market near Base No. 10 is much larger and more bustling than the black market Base No. 12.
The entire black market, stretching for two kilometers, was a trading area.
The black market at Base No. 12 is designed like a shantytown and may be relocated at any time.
However, the shops at Base No. 10 are fixed establishments formed after the caves were dug out, indicating that no one here is worried about being investigated.
However, everyone came to trade wearing masks and black robes.
The transactions here take place in various caves, and some small caves are also rented out to independent cultivators and small adventure groups who need to Rogue Cultivator with items that are difficult to dispose of.
The commission rates here are high, but it's relatively safe.
However, Jiang Ziliu had no intention of dealing with his personal belongings here; he only wanted to buy things.
He went to some shops specializing in medicinal materials and finally bought what he wanted.
However, the cost here is about 1.5 times that of the market within the base.
Soul-Concentrating Flower, Ghost Tears, the Stomach Fluids of the Spirit-Devouring Snake, the Crystal Eyes of the Soul-Stabilizing Eye Demon...
These extremely special and rare materials are what he used to prepare the Hidden Soul Star.
These were the materials he ultimately combined after making Probability Judgment; they were the most suitable recipe materials for unlocking the Black Iron Grade Hidden Soul Star.
By using this formula, his success rate in activating the Hidden Soul Star has increased to 98.6%!
Activating Black Iron Grade Hidden Soul Star is much more difficult than activating Gray Rock Grade.
Fortunately, he is not short of wealth at all and can fully afford to use more advanced materials to prepare potions to open the Hidden Soul Star.
After purchasing all the materials, Jiang Ziliu left the black market.
But not long after he left, he discovered that three black-robed beast tamers were watching him; those three beast tamers were also at the Black Iron Grade.
Trading on the black market makes it easy to get ripped off.
These three were clearly thinking the same thing.
But just as they were following Jiang Ziliu without any regard for the consequences, Jiang Ziliu suddenly made his move.
Three iron nails hidden in the ground suddenly flew out and pierced the necks of the three men.
The three also summoned their own beasts, but although their beasts were not weak in attack, they were only beasts with the three attributes of wind, fire, and water, and were not able to support them in defending against Jiang Ziliu's attacks.
Jiang Ziliu's move was both secretive and swift, capable of reaping lives in an instant.
Those who were watching from behind immediately stopped, realizing that Jiang Ziliu was not someone to be trifled with.
They noticed that Jiang Ziliu was a lone wolf, and although he didn't appear to be very strong, his skills were quite formidable, which is why they wanted to rob him.
However, they did not expect that Jiang Ziliu's outward strength was only at the level of One-Star Black Iron, but when he started fighting, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a Bronze Rank expert.
Concealing one's strength is not an uncommon practice among those who hold the sixth position.
Most of the beast tamers in this area are high-level Gray Rock Grade or Black Iron level beast tamers; Bronze Rank beast tamers are already considered experts.
Faced with Jiang Ziliu, who had concealed his true strength, they were naturally unsure of themselves and had no choice but to retreat quickly to avoid being wiped out as well.
The instinct to survive among black market beast tamers is to fear the strong and prey on the weak.
Jiang Ziliu acted decisively, intimidating the others.
As for the ability to manipulate metal, it's not a rare ability; many beast tamers possess this skill because it's indeed very useful.
Therefore, Jiang Ziliu is not afraid at all to reveal his information on this issue.
After making an example of him, Jiang Ziliu continued on his way, and there were no more pursuers behind him.
He lingered for a moment in a secluded corner, making sure no one was following him, before letting the Mutated Lightning Snake carry him away.
After returning to his underground safe house, he quickly began preparing the potion.
The required dosage of advanced medicines varies depending on the year and quality level.
Jiang Ziliu checked the medicine he received and then made minor adjustments to the dosage based on the actual situation.
He then determined the probability of this potion activating the Hidden Soul Star.
99.3%!
After some minor adjustments, the success rate of this medicine formula did indeed improve.
Previously, his soul power had not improved, but this time, he added some effects that directly enhance soul power to the potion he prepared.
Because he doesn't have that much time to worry about drug or toxicity issues.
He has now decided to use the potion that the Soul-Cleansing Mushroom had previously prepared to enhance his soul power.
This can minimize the side effects of the drug's toxicity on enhancing soul power.
This time, he spent three days successfully using a high-level Soul Crystal as the main ingredient to prepare the potion he needed to start the Hidden Soul Star.
This is also a gel-like medication.
Its usage is also the same: apply the medicine to the area between the eyebrows for absorption and lifting.
The state of Black Iron Grade Hidden Soul Star after activation is the same as that of Black Iron Grade Soul Star, in which a Lesser Celestial Circuit cycle of energy is formed between the Main Soul Star and the Hidden Soul Star.
He activated the nine Hidden Soul Star in turn, forming nine Lesser Celestial Circuit of energy circulation.
The power of the Soul Crystal, combined with the effects of the Soul-Cleansing Mushroom potion, allowed him to successfully enhance his soul strength without feeling anything amiss.
After activating all nine Hidden Soul Star, he completely reached the true limit of the Black Iron Grade.
Then he could no longer suppress his life feedback, and his whole being rapidly absorbed the Dark Energy between heaven and earth, converting it into the power of his Soul Star.
His level of life rapidly elevated, ultimately reaching a new height.
Jiang Ziliu:
Occupation: Six-Star Bronze Rank Beastmaster
Lifespan: 16 (319)
Life status: Healthy
Soul Strength: 183.7 (1000)
Life level: Bronze Rank life form
Dark Energy level: 236.3 (657.1)
The entire upgrade process took nearly ten days.
Unable to suppress himself, Jiang Ziliu successfully broke through to the Bronze Rank, specifically the Six-Star Bronze life level.
The life feedback generated by the three tamed beasts together, even though the feedback effect was only about 40% due to his talent, still propelled him to the Six-Star Bronze Rank.
Jiang Ziliu's lifespan has also increased to 319 years!
His actual upper limit for soul strength has been raised to 1000.
This is the soul strength possessed only by a Silver Rank expert.
However, because he improved too quickly, his actual soul strength was only 183.7.
This value will naturally increase until his soul strength naturally rises to the level of 1000.
After being upgraded to Six-Star Bronze Rank, his Dark Energy limit also reached a value of 657.1.
His actual Dark Energy is only 236.3.
However, his Soul Star will continue to absorb the Dark Energy between heaven and earth and transform it into its own power, constantly rising until it reaches the proper level, which is the numerical level of 657.1.
With the activation of the Hidden Soul Star this time, the quality of his Dark Energy has been further enhanced.
Having awakened his Bronze Rank life form twice through the Hidden Soul Star, not counting skills, his Dark Energy combined with his sublimated life force, when unleashed at full power, could easily destroy a reinforced concrete building with a single blow, resulting in an unprecedented increase in destructive power.
His physical attributes, such as defense, immunity, and regeneration, have all been greatly enhanced.
Even disregarding feedback skills and beast taming, Jiang Ziliu and his companions are already incredibly destructive little superhumans.
The complete activation of his Hidden Soul Star twice allowed him to rival some mid-to-high-level ordinary beasts.
In terms of combat strength, he can be compared to some low-level Silver Rank alien beasts with high-level bloodlines who have not established a good foundation!
It can be said that Jiang Ziliu's solid foundation, coupled with three S Grade or higher feedback skills, gives him the potential and true combat power that only a monstrous genius possesses!
In this state, without the presence of Gold Rank Beastmasters, he could roam freely near level 4 bases like Base No. 10.
But Jiang Ziliu had no ambition to become king or hegemon; his main goal was to develop his strength through strategic maneuvering.
While being Silver Rank individual may seem powerful here, there are countless other beast tamer geniuses in the wider world who are younger and stronger than him.
Jiang Ziliu hadn't forgotten that he awakened at the age of sixteen.
However, many privileged geniuses from wealthy families awaken their Contract Mark shortly after birth.
Others may not be lacking in talent either, and their development period is much longer than his.
He has a long way to go, and he's still in the very beginning!
