Chapter 230: Chapter 18: Top of Both Lists, Secret Investigation
In the moment when the [Blood Spring] was unlocked, Li Fei automatically grasped the relevant information.
This Blood Soul Skill allowed a ‘spring eye’ to form within Li Fei’s body; on normal days, Li Fei could store his Blood Souls in the ‘spring eye’ and retrieve them when needed.
However, within a 24-hour period, he could only inject up to 1% of his total number of Blood Souls into the ‘spring eye.’
Li Fei currently possessed a total of 211 Blood Souls, so 1% amounted to 2.1 Blood Souls.
Based on this amount, it would take him 100 days to store over 200 Blood Souls in the Blood Spring.
This process seemed slow, but the [Blood Spring] Blood Soul Skill was equivalent to allowing Li Fei’s ‘health bar’ to continue growing, with the most important aspect being that there was no upper limit.
Theoretically, given enough time, Li Fei could store tens of thousands of Blood Souls in the Blood Spring, truly achieving ‘Myriad Blood’!
Of course, once the Blood Souls in the Blood Spring were used, they were gone, unlike the Blood Souls in the Myriad Blood Pearl, which could all be replenished within 10 days no matter how many there were.
“From now on, unless absolutely necessary, try not to use the Blood Spring, and keep it as an increasingly powerful ace up your sleeve.”
Li Fei thought to himself.
He continued to sprinkle ‘Awakening Powder’ on the Dream Command, but this time only a small part of the powder dissolved.
This indicated that the few implants inside the Dream Command had already been ‘satiated.’
Li Fei could only wait a few days before he could use this method again to stimulate the growth of the [Illusion Leaf] while also absorbing high-quality energy.
His [steel armor] implant had taken less than a month during the Embryo Cultivation Stage; now with the Dream Command at his disposal, the [Illusion Leaf] implant’s Embryo Cultivation Stage would likely also take less than a month.
Li Fei packed up his belongings and left the hideout.
Over an hour later, he arrived at the door of Zhao Yi’s residence and gently knocked.
A while later, the door was opened, and Zhao Yi looked at Li Fei with a wary expression:
“Why are you here so late all of a sudden?”
Li Fei stepped inside.
“Huh? You’ve already absorbed the [Illusion Leaf]?!”
After closing the door, Zhao Yi suddenly looked at Li Fei in amazement.
Li Fei had just absorbed the [Illusion Leaf], and the residual aura of the [Illusion Leaf] on his body was sharply sensed by Zhao Yi, who shared the same origin.
Li Fei admitted directly.
Zhao Yi bit her lip and said with difficulty, “That was rather quick.”
She had assumed it would take Li Fei a while to get his hands on the [Illusion Leaf], but he had managed to acquire and successfully absorb it so quickly.
“Don’t worry, you’ll still be useful for a short while.”
To nurture the Dream Command, he needed at least the Cultivation of the Body Breaking Late Stage, so that he could cast the corresponding Magic.
Zhao Yi said sarcastically.
“Did you get all the materials you need?”
He had researched in advance the various materials needed for nurturing the Dream Command, confirmed the prices, then handed the money to Zhao Yi to buy them on the black market.
The reason he did not purchase them himself was firstly because Zhao Renjie had established his own channels over the years, making purchases secretive and convenient.
Secondly, Li Fei did not want to reveal, avoiding letting outsiders know of his association with the Dream Command.
“I’ve bought them all.”
Zhao Yi said and turned to walk inside the room, then returned carrying a heap of medicine packets, placing them on the table:
“Some of these packets contain the medicinal and casting materials needed for nurturing the Dream Command; the rest are more common materials needed for Martial Arts Cultivation.”
If only the materials for nurturing the Dream Command were bought, it would be too conspicuous and might lead the Nightmare Sect to trace their way here, so over the years, Zhao Renjie always made purchases in batches, mixing in some other medicinal materials each time to avoid giving anything away.
As for the surplus materials bought, they were ‘hard currency’ that could be resold through other channels, possibly even for a profit.
Li Fei opened the packets on the table and checked each type of medicinal material to confirm they were correct, then took out a packet of medicine powder from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Yi:
Zhao Yi looked at him warily.
“It’s a newly formulated poison with improved effects.”
Having studied under Mo Yizhou for half a month, he had finally managed to concoct a periodic poison specifically targeted at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi clenched her teeth but ultimately said nothing and swallowed the powder inside the medicine packet.
“This poison requires an antidote every 20 days; otherwise, your internal organs will progressively fail, and eventually, they will completely rot.”
Li Fei explained to Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi nodded expressionlessly.
“You can now perform maintenance on the Dream Command.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi began preparing the necessary medicinal and casting materials.
Li Fei observed, watching her handle the materials and lay out the instruments with the casting materials, occasionally asking questions.
Twenty or so minutes later, everything was ready, and Zhao Yi began to cast.
With the instruments laid out on the ground using casting materials, she placed the Dream Command on the array and began chanting.
