Chapter 625 - 259: Crazy Promotion_3
Li Xiu was observing Sha Chu’s cultivation, and suddenly saw a flicker of light. Looking up, he saw colorful light spots descending from above, indicating that the gemstone release time old Dao mentioned had arrived.
Indeed, before long, those colorful light spots gradually grew larger and slowly fell to the ground as gemstones.
Li Xiu looked at those gemstones, feeling somewhat puzzled.
These gemstones were obviously dropped from the opening above, but who could be dropping them from the opening?
Above was just a ruin without any sign of living creatures. How could someone drop gemstones from above, and why put them here?
Old Dao mentioned that when they discovered this place previously, they had investigated but found no creatures nearby. Every time the gemstones seemed to appear out of thin air, as if randomly dropped.
Moreover, Li Xiu noticed that the sizes, shapes, and types of gemstones appearing this time were identical to those he absorbed last time.
The gemstone left for Sha Chu last time disappeared into thin air just before the new gemstones were dropped.
"It’s indeed a strange place," Li Xiu thought. Unable to comprehend it, he decided to ignore it for now and continued researching his Absorption Technique.
With the Absorption Technique, Li Xiu found a shortcut to upgrade, successfully advancing to S-level amidst the accumulation of abundant gemstone light energy.
Li Xiu: Trial Taker.
Level: S.
Quality: Extreme Light.
Primordial Embryo Quality: 32.
Talent Skill: Ultimate Light (100%), Twin Souls (Evil Spirit Transformation), The Seventh Great Taboo No Killing, The Seventh Great Taboo Immortality, The Seventh Great Taboo Unlucky, The Seventh Great Taboo Refusal, The Seventh Great Taboo No Sacrifice, The Seventh Great Taboo Not Seek.
Symbiotic Contract: Evil Spirit Token, Forbidden Spear.
The S-level Forbidden Spear has six talent skills, but the Evil Spirit Token still only has one talent skill, with no significant changes.
Now was not the time to study skills. Li Xiu continued to absorb the remaining gemstones, aiming to boost his Primordial Embryo Quality.
As far as Li Xiu knew, the S-level Primordial Embryo Quality could double. He was currently at 32, and the S-level peak could reach 64.
To achieve Super Spirit, Super Spirit Gemstones are needed, but Super Spirit would not increase the upper limit of Primordial Embryo Quality. Only after Light Base is upgraded would the upper limit of Primordial Embryo Quality increase again.
After absorbing most of the gemstones, Li Xiu’s Primordial Embryo Quality only rose to over forty, still far from the S-level peak.
He originally thought it would be several days before the third round of gemstones were released, yet less than a day later, more gemstones suddenly fell.
This time the released gemstones were identical in quantity, quality, shape, and size to the previous two rounds.
This made Li Xiu somewhat suspicious. Could these gemstones be artificially created, otherwise, how could they possibly be identical?
On Earth, it’s difficult to find two completely identical natural gemstones, especially such large ones.
Li Xiu previously heard old Dao say that usually, it would take several days before a round of gemstones were released. Why was this gemstone release time much earlier than old Dao said?
Li Xiu considered a rather unfavorable possibility. Could the creature releasing the gemstones have noticed that the gemstones below were almost depleted, hence releasing them early?
Just like feeding pigs, seeing the pig food running low, new food is added.
No one before Li Xiu could absorb gemstone energy in this way, so the time for new gemstone releases was much longer. Now that Li Xiu absorbed the gemstones, they were released faster.
Li Xiu looked up at the needle-like opening yet found nothing.
Having found nothing, Li Xiu continued absorbing the gemstone light energy, becoming increasingly adept at controlling Bottle Suction and integrating it well with the Hand of God.
Light energy was absorbed into his body, transmitted along the pathways of light veins, continuously strengthening his body.
Suddenly, Li Xiu felt a tremor throughout his body, a strange energy spread inside him, akin to having eaten a Life Fruit, indescribably comfortable, with bizarre information rushing into his mind.
"Oh, the Super Spirit Skill has changed?" Li Xiu was surprised, noticing that the Bottle Suction information had altered.
Super Bottle Suction: Super Spirit Skill, capable of absorbing light energy for personal use.
"Skills can actually change?" Li Xiu was surprised, finding Bottle Suction easier to use, unlike before when it was difficult to control, and its absorption and transformation capabilities became more powerful.
Li Xiu used Super Bottle Suction to absorb gemstone light energy and found a significant improvement in conversion rate, with less expenditure in the process.
"This is much more convenient; no need for deliberate control," Li Xiu quickly brought his Primordial Embryo Quality to the full state of 64, leaving seven gemstones on the ground.
No longer able to improve his Primordial Embryo Quality, further absorption would only be wasteful. Li Xiu stopped, allowing Sha Chu to enjoy a light energy bath.
"What’s wrong?" Sha Chu noticed Li Xiu stopped, also ceasing cultivation, looking at Li Xiu and asked.
"My Primordial Embryo Quality has reached the S-level full value; these things are no longer useful for me," Li Xiu said.
"You’ve advanced to S-level!" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu with a complex expression and asked, finding it exceedingly fast.
Li Xiu nodded, observed the surroundings, and said, "You continue cultivating, I’ll take a look around."
Li Xiu always felt something eerie here, instructed a few words, and then climbed up along the stone wall, soon reaching the cave opening. When he leaped up, attempting to jump out the cave opening, he suddenly felt as if he collided with an invisible wall. With a loud bang on his head, he became dizzy, sending an electric-like sensation throughout his body, causing him to fall back down.
Thankfully, the cave itself was very mysterious; his fall slowed, eventually landing gently. Had he fallen from such a height, even an S-level physique could hardly endure.
Li Xiu’s head buzzed from the collision; currents seemed to run wildly in his body, causing his limbs to tremble uncontrollably, unable to get up for a while.
"Li Xiu, are you alright?" Sha Chu approached Li Xiu, intending to help him up, but upon touching his body, her hand sprang back as if electrocuted, with sparks flickering between her fingers and Li Xiu.
