Chapter 143 - 132: Can Quickly Break Through to Tier 3

Chapter 143: Chapter 132: Can Quickly Break Through to Tier 3

"Nine-colored honey?"

Ji Zhixing’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He instantly leapt into the air, reaching out to grab that piece of Nine-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey. The moment his fingers closed around it, a refreshing, sweet aroma washed over his face. This fragrance was entirely unlike the scent of ordinary flowers. It was a refreshing aura that invigorated his mind and brought a wave of comfort to his entire body.

To his even greater surprise, just breathing in the scent made the genetic source energy within his body grow active. It was as if every strand of his energy was cheering in joy.

"Good stuff!"

Ji Zhixing took a deep breath. With a quick thought, he stored this piece of Nine-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey into his Genetic Furnace. He didn’t rush to study its effects, as there was still quite a bit of Seven-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey scattered around waiting to be collected.

Leaping up again and again, he circled the inverted miniature mountain, plucking the remaining pieces of Seven-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey one by one. His movements were lightning-fast. With every jump and landing, one or two pieces of Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey were pocketed.

Finally, he looked up and picked a piece of golden honey. This particular item wouldn’t do much for him, but he figured he could ask Xiao Mingyue if it was safe for his parents and younger sister to try.

After finishing the harvest, he took inventory. He had seventeen pieces of Seven-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey in total, and one piece of Nine-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey.

"That should be all of it."

Ji Zhixing carefully inspected the area once more. Seeing nothing left behind, he turned and began walking out of the flower sea.

His actions had riled up countless Seven-Color Spirit Bees. They swarmed toward him, blotting out the sky. But Ji Zhixing wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

A suit of Petrified Armor covered his entire body. As the Seven-Color Spirit Bees landed on him, their stingers struck the armor, producing a barrage of CLINK CLINK sounds, utterly failing to pierce through.

As for their ability to devour his genetic source energy... he possessed the Root of the Earth, which allowed him to restore his energy at any time. Furthermore, his Five-Colored Spiritual Light ability enabled him to absorb various elemental powers from the void to replenish himself.

Taking massive strides, he quickly exited the Seven-Colored Flower Sea.

The moment he stepped out, all the Seven-Color Spirit Bees immediately halted. As if bound by some invisible restriction, they kept up an incessant BUZZ BUZZ, yet not a single one flew past the boundary.

Xiao Mingyue was waiting at the edge of the flower sea. Seeing him emerge, she immediately hurried over and looked him up and down. "How did it go? Are you alright?"

"Don’t worry," Ji Zhixing said with a smile. "Just like you said, my Petrified Armor is the perfect counter to these Seven-Color Spirit Bees."

Noticing that the bees weren’t pursuing him out of the flower sea, he shifted his focus and dismissed his Petrified Armor. "Also, take a look at this."

He glanced around, confirming there was no one else nearby, then retrieved the Nine-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey he had just acquired.

"Is this... top-tier Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey?"

Seeing the nine-colored honey, Xiao Mingyue’s eyes lit up with sheer delight. "Top-tier nine-colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey is incredibly rare. The seven-colored variety is already considered a treasure, but the nine-colored version is something you can only chance upon, not actively seek out."

She handed the honey back to Ji Zhixing, explaining earnestly, "This item will greatly accelerate the speed at which you refine the Earth Spirit Liquid.

"With this, you’ll likely be able to raise your cultivation to the peak of the second tier in just over a week. What’s more, it’s effective for breaking through bottlenecks.

"When the time comes, you should be able to advance to the third tier very quickly."

Hearing this, Ji Zhixing was just as pleasantly surprised. "That fast?"

"Yes," Xiao Mingyue nodded. "Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey naturally synergizes with other heavenly treasures to boost cultivation, and the nine-colored variant is the absolute best of the bunch. If you use it alongside the Earth Spirit Liquid, the effects will be doubled."

"A week..." Ji Zhixing took a deep breath, carefully tucking the Nine-Colored Illusory Sea Flowing Fragrance Honey away.

Without this item, at his previous cultivation speed, it would likely have taken him a whole month to reach the peak of the second tier. And trying to break through to the third tier would have delayed him even further.

After stowing the nine-colored honey safely away, the two rested at the edge of the flower sea for a while before setting off again.

"Which way are we heading next?" Xiao Mingyue asked.

The Spirit Ruins Treasure Land was immense, stretching far beyond the horizon. Ji Zhixing picked a direction at random, and they continued forward along the grassy plains.

Unfortunately, their luck wasn’t as good this time. They walked for a long while before finally stumbling upon another treasure site.

It was a canyon with towering cliff walls that pierced the clouds. The rock faces were densely dotted with countless wind vents of varying sizes. The larger ones were over a meter in diameter, while the smaller ones were no bigger than a fist.

Wind constantly blew through these vents, emitting a sharp, ear-piercing WHOOSH WHOOSH.

In the middle of the canyon, a spinning cyclone was rotating at high speeds. Measuring about two to three meters in diameter, it stretched from the ground all the way up into the sky, whipping up countless rocks and dust clouds with a loud SWOOSH SWOOSH.

When the two found this place, they arrived just in time to see someone charging into the cyclone and snatching up a treasure gestating inside.

The moment that person grabbed the item, the countless wind vents in the canyon simultaneously blasted out powerful air currents. Innumerable tornados surged in from all directions, instantly sweeping the person up.

In the next moment, a ripple of spatial fluctuation flashed, and the person was teleported back to the Land of Origin.

"What a pity." Ji Zhixing shook his head, feeling a twinge of regret that they had arrived too late.

"Let’s go. We’ll check elsewhere," Xiao Mingyue said, giving his hand a gentle tug.

The two continued on their way. However, they found absolutely nothing else by the time evening rolled around. Although the Spirit Ruins Treasure Land held many treasures, ninety students from the three schools were scattered throughout it, and every single one of them was hunting for opportunities.
