Chapter 1131: 1131
Under the illumination of the Immemorial Altar Lamp, faint ripples enveloped them and they sank into a strange state . This blessing delighted Long Chen .
Although the Immemorial Altar Lamp’s blessing was not as monstrous as the Xuantian Tower’s blessing, its energy continued in an unending stream . It had definitely been worthwhile nouris.h.i.+ng it .
As long as the Immemorial Altar Lamp wasn’t contaminated with the Death Qi of living organisms, it would never extinguish, allowing them to enjoy this blessing for as long as they desired .
Long Chen also took out yuan spirit stones and began to absorb their energy . For others, absorbing one stone took three days normally . But with the Immemorial Altar Lamp, that time was cut down to half a day .
As for Long Chen, he fully absorbed all the energy in a yuan spirit stone in just a few breaths .
As he absorbed more and more yuan spiritual energy, he had an urge to cry . His 108,000 runes were like hungry wolves fighting over a small piece of meat . It felt like each wolf got less than a trace of meat, making them howl in frustration .
As for the other disciples, Long Chen could clearly feel their original runes growing as they absorbed the yuan spiritual energy .
Others only had one original rune, while he had 108,000 . Although his runes didn’t have as much energy as each of theirs in a one to one ratio, ten of his runes definitely contained more energy than one of theirs .
Even counting in a ten to one ratio, his consumption was still ten thousand times greater . That made him feel a sense of crisis . In the cultivation world, the most terrifying thing was not having powerful enemies, but a lack of funds .
He sensed the others’ progress and found that they condensed a second original rune in just three yuan spirit stones . For them to condense all nine original runes and merge them into the foundation of their immortal platform would probably require around fifty yuan spirit stones . Then they would be at the first Heavenstage of Foundation Forging .
Theoretically, the second Heavenstage’s runes would require twice the amount of energy of the first Heavenstage . Then that would be one hundred . And then the third Heavenstage would be two hundred . Then for the ninth Heavenstage… each disciple would require over ten thousand yuan spirit stones .
Ten thousand yuan spirit stones! And that was a conservative estimate! It would most likely take even more than that .
Right now there were thirteen thousand five hundred members of the Dragonblood Legion . The number of yuan spirit stones he had was not close to enough to allow all of them to reach the peak of Foundation Forging .
But what was worse was that even after absorbing a thousand stones for just his first rune, there was still practically no growth .
Long Chen steeled himself and spent a whole day . After absorbing thirty-six thousand yuan spirit stones, he condensed his second rune . When he was finished, he found that his two runes were like conjoined twins . They were not separate ent.i.ties, but one whole body .
When the second rune was condensed, he clearly felt his 108,000 acupuncture points enlarge, and even the divine runes of Split the Heavens grew larger, as if their limit had increased .
“Could it be that the size of Split the Heavens’ divine runes are in accordance with the size of the acupuncture points? So then the larger my acupuncture points, the stronger they’ll get?” Long Chen was quite surprised .
Split the Heavens’ divine runes had originally been at the center of his corresponding acupuncture points, but after reaching Foundation Forging, those runes had been squeezed below, while his original runes took that position . They seemed to be afraid of his original runes and resigned themselves to staying beneath them .
As for his original runes, they ignored Split the Heavens’ divine runes . They both minded their own business . With the formation of his second original rune, his acupuncture points grew, and Split the Heavens’ divine runes grew with them . But even after strengthening, they stayed in their original position, not daring to move in the face of his original runes .
However, this consumption was too terrifying . Just on his own, his consumption could almost match the whole Dragonblood Legion’s .
When he saw that the Dragonblood Legion’s disciples had already condensed their third rune, he received a large blow and decided to go into private seclusion .
When he absorbed yuan spirit stones, the Immemorial Altar Lamp wasn’t able to help much . The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was already strong enough to almost instantly suck the yuan spirit stones dry .
Returning to his room, he first refined a mountain of medicinal pills and elixirs for selling in the outer sect . These medicines were all ones that were used often, and so their price was cheaper . The outer sect disciples were big fans of them .
As for himself, he had the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, and refining these medicines didn’t take any capital from him . However much they were sold for was how much money they made . Qian Duoduo had told him several times that if they increased the price so that they sold at eighty percent the price of what the Ten Thousand Pill Hall sold their medicines for, there would still be countless people buying their products, and they would make several times the profit .
