You're So Sickeningly Sweet
Xiao Qingyi chuckled and quickly caught the earth-attribute Divine Crystal.
If I refine this thing, will I gain the strength that Lu Qing'an had back then?
He doesn't need to be that strong. Luo Zhi, keeping up with Dao of Alchemy Master, or even keeping up with Liu Xiyue is enough!
That's right, second best in the world is enough!!
"Just refine it into your Dantian, right?" He decisively used a Devil Cultivation Method, and Demonic Qi emanated from his body, instantly enveloping the Divine Crystal in his hand.
Immediately, a flash of light appeared, and Divine Crystal the size of a pigeon's egg, along with Demonic Qi, entered his body and merged into his Dantian.
He looked inward into his Dantian and could already see the Divine Crystal floating Dantian, emitting a brown light and gradually connecting with his body.
"Wow! Things have changed so quickly?!"
Xiao Qingyi opened his eyes wide and looked at his hands.
After the Divine Crystal entered his Dantian, he felt his cultivation aura growing stronger!
This was the first time Lu Qing'an had ever seen the refining effect of this thing. The speed was so fast that it was as if the Divine Crystal was a battery, which, when placed in a special place, could quickly fill a person's body with energy.
Is this what makes the Divine Crystal special after being activated?
"Haha! My cultivation is rapidly increasing! In the blink of an eye, I'll be catching up to Dao of Alchemy Master's cultivation level!! Moreover, I've discovered that the crystal hasn't been consumed much, only half of it. The remaining half, once I've absorbed it all, will further enhance my cultivation!"
Xiao Qingyi was extremely excited.
This is much faster than him improving his skills over tens of thousands of years of cultivation!!
No wonder I haven't seen Liu Xiyue for only a short time, that old man has become so strong!
So there are such mysterious treasures used for enhancement!!
Upon seeing this, Xue Tianfei couldn't help but reveal a hint of longing.
After carefully examining Xiao Qingyi's changes, Lu Qing'an confirmed that this thing was indeed powerful.
"At this rate of improvement, you'll be able to catch up to Liu Xiyue's cultivation level."
Xiao Qingyi laughed loudly, "Then wouldn't I soon become the second largest in the continent?!"
Lu Qing'an said, "That's hard to say. That mysterious organization should soon have even stronger members. Moreover, the Divine Crystal scattered in many places should have activated on their own over time. Those who possess Divine Crystal but don't know how to use Divine Crystal should also soon experience a rapid improvement."
It was only recently that he discovered that more and more powerful people and things were deviating from the normal trajectory of becoming stronger.
He even doubted whether Dao of Alchemy Master had truly improved his abilities through elixirs.
Perhaps the Divine Crystal also played a role?
Without the aid of the Divine Crystal, Dao of Alchemy Master would indeed be incredibly powerful.
Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei: "You should also improve your skills."
Xue Tianfei asked, "Should we cut a small piece from that large crystal? Will it damage anything?"
She did want to become stronger so that she could better stay by Lu Qing'an's side.
However, there was also the fear that Lu Qing'an might need the crystal for something else, thus disrupting Lu Qing'an's plans.
"I originally wanted to find this thing to help you improve your cultivation. I just didn't expect it to develop sentience. But even if it develops sentience, it won't change anything. We still have to use it."
At this point, Lu Qing'an seemed to remember something, looked at the soul, and asked, "By the way, is it only the Peak Great Emperor Realm that can refine this kind of Divine Crystal, or is it sufficient for anyone at the Great Emperor Realm?"
"The Great Emperor Realm is sufficient, but using it before the Peak Great Emperor Realm is somewhat wasteful. A large portion will be consumed, and for someone who hasn't reached the Peak Great Emperor Realm, using such Divine Crystal will actually lead to an unstable foundation. You could say that before the Peak Great Emperor Realm, it's all about laying the foundation for the human body," the soul said.
Lu Qing'an nodded slightly.
Since that's the case, let's first let Xu Yunyi and Xu Xuanyu break through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm, and then use the Divine Crystal to enhance them.
Let Xue Tianfei and the others improve first.
Lu Qing'an took out the fire-attribute Divine Crystal and cut off a corner, about the size of a duck egg.
He handed it to Xue Tianfei and smiled, "Refine it now."
Xue Tianfei looked at the Divine Crystal that Lu Qing'an handed her and blinked her beautiful eyes. "Is it this big?"
"What, is it your turn to be polite with me? Can I pretend to be angry and then make a request?" Lu Qing'an joked.
"Sure! It would be best if you made a request that I serve you in bed tonight!" Xue Tianfei's eyes lit up as she said with a smile.
Xiao Qingyi: "As if I wasn't here! Thank goodness the kids aren't here. Ouch! You're all so sticky! And why is mine so small, while Xue Tianfei's is so big?"
"What's it to you if we stick our teeth together, you old bachelor?" Xue Tianfei covered her mouth and chuckled.
Xiao Qingyi was instantly speechless.
The term "old bachelor" really hits home!
Lu Qing'an replied casually, "Here, have some extra."
However, the soul quickly stopped it. "The other elemental Divine Crystal haven't been fully refined yet. It's best not to continue refining other elemental Divine Crystal, otherwise you'll easily Qi Deviation!"
Xiao Qingyi: "..."
"Alright then, I'll keep it for now. I'll refine this one after I've refined it." Xiao Qingyi still had a lewd smile on his face as he accepted the Divine Crystal.
Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled as he looked at Xiao Qingyi's lewd appearance.
He watched as Xue Tianfei refined the Divine Crystal.
Before long, Xue Tianfei's cultivation level soared!
His cultivation level instantly rose to a level significantly higher than that of Dao of Alchemy Master.
Moreover, there is still an egg-sized portion of the fire-attribute Divine Crystal in the Dantian that has not been fully refined.
After the refining is complete, its strength can be more than doubled.
"What a powerful feeling!" Xue Tianfei exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "You should all improve yourselves more."
"Aren't you going to improve?" Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei asked in unison.
Lu Qing'an smiled mysteriously, "Well, even when you've reached the point where you can't improve any further, you might not be able to catch up with me."
The two blinked, speechless.
They might have been skeptical before, but now they dare not doubt it.
They truly hadn't seen the limits in Lu Qing'an!
It seems he always manages to deliver an even more spectacular visual feast!
Each time we demonstrate our strength, we become even stronger!
Xiao Qingyi even suspected that Lu Qing'an might have a huge mountain of Divine Crystal inside his body.
Otherwise, how could it keep getting stronger?
After teasing Xue Tianfei and the other person, Lu Qing'an took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip and sent a message to his disciple and Wang Duanshan.
Come over for dinner tonight.
He needed to improve Li Cangxuan's strength first. As the Demon Emperor of the Demon Domain Realm, it wouldn't be a good thing if he were gradually surpassed in cultivation by those who had obtained Divine Crystal.
Only after reaching a certain level can one maintain their status as the Demon Emperor.
