Chapter 575: Chapter 528: Seventh Blood Exchange

He placed another order for 2,000 kilograms, spending 20,000 Merit Points.

’My Spiritual Power is already at 9,100. I’m getting very close to the Eighth Realm!’

’I can buy better resources to help my Spiritual Power break through sooner.’

’That will be beneficial for honing my skills!’

Lin Qi’s mind raced as he began searching for better resources.

The page soon refreshed, revealing various potions and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, none of which were available at Red Dome House.

Moreover, Lin Qi quickly found a Potion.

[Item: Top-Grade Soul Water]

[Effect: An advanced version of Soul Water with significantly more powerful effects.]

[Merit Points (Teaching Points): 50,000/vial]

...

Lin Qi nodded to himself when he saw it. An ordinary Soul Water had an effect of only 3,000, while the Top-Grade Soul Water was almost sixteen times more potent.

He could phase out the old Soul Water now. From now on, he planned to take one vial of Top-Grade Soul Water every day.

This would allow his Spiritual Power to break through to the Eighth Realm faster, so he ordered five vials.

They were worth 250,000 Merit Points—a luxury that not even an ordinary Eighth Realm Martial Artist would dare to indulge in.

Only Lin Qi dared, because he had faith in his own strength.

He could already kill Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts. Once he completed seven Blood Exchanges, his Combat Power would rise again.

Hunting Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts would become even easier.

Next, he looked into buying Flesh and Blood Harmonizers. He could buy them in large quantities for just 1,000 Merit Points each.

But Lin Qi needed something better. He needed to buy the Top-Grade Harmonizing Potion, which had ten times the effect of the ordinary version and cost just 10,000 Merit Points.

He placed another order for 10 vials!

Spending another 100,000 Merit Points.

[Merit Points: 430,000]

He now only had 430,000 Merit Points left, having spent nearly half of his total.

Suddenly, Lin Qi thought of his weapon!

’I have the combat power of an Eighth Realm Martial Artist now. Shouldn’t I upgrade my Battle Armor and weapon as well?’

Generally, Seventh Realm Martial Artists mostly used Tier Seven Battle Armor and weapons.

Eighth Realm Martial Artists used Tier Eight equipment and weapons.

Among these, Tier Eight Battle Armor and weapons could only be purchased using Merit Points.

But some people came from families that were simply too rich; some were even suppliers of Battle Armor and weapons themselves.

It wasn’t difficult for them to get Tier Eight Battle Armor for their juniors!

Therefore, these types of geniuses were generally able to use Tier Eight Battle Armor and weapons even as Seventh Realm Martial Artists.

The most typical examples were Xu Qin and Pei Yiqing.

Shen Heng’s family was poor, so he wore Tier Seven Battle Armor and used a Tier Seven Battle Sword.

But as for Pei Yiqing and Xu Qin, both their Battle Armor and their weapons were Tier Eight.

As a result, both their defensive capabilities and their Combat Power were enhanced.

Lin Qi’s family was also poor, and he hadn’t had many Merit Points before.

But things were much better now. He could hunt Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts, so he wouldn’t be short on Merit Points in the future, and he could finally afford to buy Tier Eight Equipment.

With this in mind, he started searching for Tier Eight weapons, since weapons were much cheaper than Battle Armor.

The Battle Armor was more expensive; he probably couldn’t afford it with his 430,000 Merit Points.

The page soon refreshed.

[Equipment: Tier Eight Long Spear (Ordinary)]

[Description: An ordinary-quality Tier Eight weapon that greatly boosts the destructive power of a Martial Artist’s Gang Power!]

[Merit Points: 500,000]

...

When Lin Qi saw the price, he was stunned.

He hadn’t realized Tier Eight weapons were divided into ordinary and enhanced qualities.

But right now, he couldn’t even afford an ordinary-quality one.

He was still 70,000 Merit Points short; he couldn’t buy it at all.

’I don’t have enough Merit Points yet!’

’I could borrow from someone, but there’s no need!’

Lin Qi shook his head. He could borrow Merit Points from someone.

His teacher, Mu Hong, for example. He frequently hunted Level 8 Calamity Beasts, so he definitely didn’t lack Merit Points.

But there was no need, because he could earn them back quickly enough.

It would just take a bit more effort.

Then he suddenly thought of Gu Jian. He still had a scheduled duel with him.

The stakes for that duel were 1,000,000 Merit Points—a huge sum that could be used to buy incredible Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

’With 1,000,000 Merit Points, plus my current 430,000, I could even buy a Tier Eight Battle Armor and a long spear outright.’

At this thought, Lin Qi’s eyes lit up.

In that case, he had no choice but to defeat Gu Jian.

’I have to say, their whole family is full of such nice people. It’d be even better if another Eighth Realm genius challenged me to a duel after I beat him.’

...

「Half an hour later.」

Lin Qi had finished dinner and felt a pleasant warmth spreading through his body.

Every breath he took was rich with Source Energy. He entered the Martial Arts Room, sat down cross-legged, and began his Cultivation.

He adjusted his breathing, inhaling and exhaling slowly to clear his mind of stray thoughts. He then visualized the Golden Emperor in his Consciousness Space and began circulating his Cultivation Technique.

A moment later, a massive amount of Source Energy began to surge into his body.

His cells began to absorb the Source Energy, and his organs began to absorb the essence of flesh and blood.

White steam and Golden Light merged, condensing in the air to form the image of a giant tiger.

His exhausted body began to recover rapidly as his physical form started to transform.

His heart beat rapidly, like an engine revving to life, pumping fresh blood to every part of his body.

Vast amounts of impurities were washed away by the rushing blood, dissolving into the stream to be expelled by his inner organs.

The stagnant blood from his many battles was flushed away, and his damaged tissues began to mend.

Lin Qi waited quietly for his body to recover.

...

This time, Lin Qi cultivated for three hours straight.

The absorption of Source Energy and his Blood Exchange cultivation proceeded simultaneously.

WHOOSH!!

Lin Qi’s chest heaved as he exhaled a turbid breath from deep within his organs, expelling the old and taking in the new.

A powerful gust of wind formed in the Martial Arts Room, causing the curtains to sway.

Lin Qi felt a tingling numbness all over. He stood up, feeling power surge endlessly from within him.

He had made a full recovery.
