1706 Preliminary Exploration of the Ravine (1/2)

You consider six Days to craft a piece of equipment as slow?

Su Xiaoman said no more as she turned her back against Chen Xiaobei, snuggled up to the white lion, and dozed off.

Ao Liancheng's injuries had not completely recovered. He did not have the energy to spare to argue with Chen Xiaobei so, he too turned away from Chen Xiaobei and lay down on the grass to rest.

Although they did not express it out loud, they all thought that Chen Xiaobei's overstated, myth-like exaggerations had crossed the line. Even a child would not have fallen for it.

The truth was, Chen Xiaobei was not exaggerating!

His Green Jade Cauldron was a Divine Instrument! The Sanmei True Fire was Divine Fire!

It would be impossible to find the same grade of cauldron and Spiritual Fire in Apocalypse Starfield, and not even in the Earth-God realm!

A sharp ax makes quick work – With the 'sharp axes' of the Green Jade Cauldron and Sanmei True Fire, the whole 'wood-chopping' process would naturally be much faster and easier.

Had Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman known of this secret, they would not have presumed that Chen Xiaobei was overstating his claims.

It was also true that once he got the hang of it, he could do it even faster!

Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not going to try and explain himself. Whether they believe it or not, being able to put on the enhanced Nightstalker Outfit after six days was far more important.

After that, Chen Xiaobei sat down and began to cultivate.

Although he had a 100,000-year Ambergris which could increase his combat power by 10,000 and a 1 million-year Ambergris which could increase his combat power by 100,000, they were not quite enough to help him reach the peak of Ethereal Cultivation!

Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman were going to rest through the night but Chen Xiaobei dared not waste a single minute. He was going to need every available minute to increase his cultivation.

As for when Chen Xiaobei was going to use the two pieces of Ambergris, he felt that it could still wait.

This was because, if he could not reach the peak of Ethereal Cultivation, that 110,000 combat power was all but meaningless.

He would rather save it for a more appropriate time to use. Who knows? He might be able to use it as a secret weapon and catch his enemies off-guard.

Chen Xiaobei cultivated for 10 hours.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 2,570 hours; Health: 201,000; Combat power: 181,000]

His combat power and health had only increased by 1,000.

This increment was not a lot.

But as he was only eight days away from the three-month deadline and if he could cultivate for ten hours every day, that would be an 80,000 increase in combat power and health. Such was an increase that should not be overlooked!

Cultivating was a long, cumulative process. Each step, each footprint would add up to make a mickle.

When daylight broke, the three of them continued their journey.

...

For the next six days, nothing special happened.

The deeper into the mountains they went, the more a wild beasts which were stronger appeared as well. Nevertheless, with Su Xiaoman, a 600,000 combat power God-Ascension elite protecting them, the wild beasts that attacked them were all slaughtered.

The Beast Cores went into Su Xiaoman's waist pouch, and the flesh of the beasts were roasted on the bonfire every night.

When night came, Chen Xiaobei would spend one hour to craft equipment, and ten hours cultivating.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 2,570 years; Health: 207,000; Combat power: 187,000]

For the past six days, Chen Xiaobei's cultivation had increased steadily. It was not a lot but at least it was something.
