Lin Zhen spent the most peaceful and happy time in his little nest since he came to the Stellar Fruit Tree.
Sometimes, he would hunt mutated beasts with Su Mingyue and look for star crystals in the vicinity. If there were any edible mutated beasts, Lin Zhen would bring them back to make some delicious food.
Under their diligent search, their harvest was not small. They found more than a dozen star core crystals, more than a dozen meteor crystals, nine comet crystals, and even a planet crystal at a high place.
Those small star crystals were all absorbed by Lin Zhen. Because Su Mingyue was a Rank 9 Warlord, absorbing them didn't have any effect.
Only the planet crystal Su Mingyue absorbed, which improved her dantian's qi a little. However, she still didn't reach the peak of Rank 9. At her current stage, she needed to absorb a Stellar Crystal to have an obvious effect.
In addition to the comet crystal left behind by Lin Zhen, his realm finally reached the late stage of Rank 4, which was close to the peak stage.
During their free time, the two would exchange pointers with each other. When he fought with Su Mingyue, Lin Zhen discovered how powerful she was. He used all his strength but still lost every time. Only when he occasionally seized the initiative and burst out with Long River of Lightning, could he suppress Su Mingyue for a period of time.
However, Su Mingyue always found a way to counterattack. The two fought many times, but Lin Zhen's winning rate was always zero.
Moreover, Lin Zhen also discovered that Su Mingyue's memory was particularly strong. She could perform the moves that Lin Zhen used after watching them a few times. She was indeed worthy of the title of genius.
However, Lin Zhen's progress was also obvious. Su Mingyue found it harder and harder to win against him. Every time she won, Su Mingyue would be dripping with sweat. If it was purely a competition of physical strength, she was still a little worse than Lin Zhen.
Every time at this time, Lin Zhen's task was to act as a guard and observe the surroundings to see if anyone was approaching. Su Mingyue would go to the pool to take a bath. Lin Zhen was also very diligent in his vigilance. Although his heart fluctuated a lot, he never peeked.
At night, the two people, in addition to chatting and stargazing, would cultivate separately.
Su Mingyue was also very diligent. The time she spent cultivating was no less than Lin Zhen. However, Lin Zhen didn't ask her what she was cultivating. This was the rule between martial artists.
The speed of absorbing the planet's core accelerated day by day. Lin Zhen had told Su Mingyue at the beginning that she would wait for him for half a month. Within half a month, his cultivation should be able to come to an end. At that time, the two of them would leave.
The first time, Lin Zhen absorbed 300 strands of Gold Qi. On the second day, he absorbed 500 strands of Gold Qi. This was because he gradually adapted to the pain, and it was no longer so unbearable.
On the third night, Lin Zhen absorbed 800 strands of Gold Qi.
On the fourth day, he absorbed 1000 strands of Gold Qi. However, this was almost the limit.
On the fifth and sixth days, he absorbed 1000 strands of Gold Qi every day. The amount of Gold Qi in the planet's core rapidly decreased.
Every morning, when Lin Zhen was in so much pain that his entire body twitched, Su Mingyue would quietly walk over and wipe away Lin Zhen's sweat. Then, she would sit beside him and let Lin Zhen rest his head on her soft jade-like legs. She would gently massage Lin Zhen's muscles to relieve the pain.
Her long hair casually scattered, and the fragrance of a young girl assaulted his nose. Lin Zhen closed his eyes. The surrounding atmosphere was warm and somewhat ambiguous.
At this time, Su Mingyue would also blush slightly. She knew that this wasn't good, but when she saw Lin Zhen's unbearable pain, she would always feel uncomfortable in her heart. If this could make Lin Zhen feel better, then she was willing.
These days continued for twelve days. On the twelfth night, Lin Zhen finally absorbed the last strands of Gold Qi in the planet's core!
At this time, a change finally occurred in his dantian.
More accurately, it was the dark star floating in his dantian that had undergone a change!
Above the dark star, strands of Gold Qi flowed and fused with the lightning ions. Because they were both in his dantian and had the dantian Qi as a connection, the two did not repel each other. In fact, they fused together perfectly.
"Gold Qi is indestructible and incomparably sharp. It can be shot out of the body alone, and it can also cover a weapon."
"However, Gold Qi has a flaw, and that is that its speed is not that fast. But now that it has fused with the lightning ions, this flaw has been made up for. I can try out its effects now."
Lin Zhen opened his eyes. It was currently midnight. He raised his hand fiercely. His target was still the tree trunk that he had failed to absorb last time!
Lin Zhen opened his palm, and a layer of electric light circled around it, illuminating the surrounding trees and causing them to sway!
"Go for me!"
Hundreds of strands of Gold Qi shot out from Lin Zhen's palm, hitting the tree trunk in a fraction of a second!
"Pu, pu, pu, pu, pu!"
Wood shavings flew everywhere. Under the illumination of the lightning, Lin Zhen saw that the part of the tree trunk that had been hit, which was about ten square centimeters in size, had been turned into a sieve with countless tiny holes all over it.
The Gold Qi pierced through the tree trunk and continued flying forward. After piercing through a few leaves, it finally disappeared from Lin Zhen's sight.
"What a powerful might! This Gold Qi is really indestructible. Combined with the lightning ions' speed, its killing power is multiplied."
"Against ordinary enemies, I don't even need to use a weapon. This Gold Qi sneak attack is enough to kill most opponents."
"And this is only combined with the lightning ions. If I can comprehend the power of the lightning ions, then the Gold Qi's power should be strengthened even further."
After losing hundreds of strands of Gold Qi, the Dark Star in Lin Zhen's body began to rotate. Lin Zhen could clearly feel the Gold Qi regenerating. As long as he didn't use it all at once, Lin Zhen's Gold Qi would never run out.
After experimenting with the Gold Qi, Lin Zhen stood up and took out the Bright Silver Spear.
With a move of his telekinesis, the Gold Qi poured into the Bright Silver Spear, causing it to change. The originally silver spear turned into a gold and silver color. It was obvious that its strength had more than doubled.
"Very good. My Bright Silver Spear isn't a rare divine weapon. The market value is only 30 million, but with the support of the Gold Qi, its power is second only to an Astral Weapon!"
Lin Zhen had an Astral Weapon in his previous life. Although it wasn't the best, it was still not bad. Of course, he knew the importance of a good weapon.
The Bright Silver Spear could only be considered average. However, with the support of the Gold Qi, although it still couldn't compare to an Astral Weapon, it had already surpassed any weapon that could be bought on the market.
After experimenting with the Bright Silver Spear, Lin Zhen poured the Gold Qi into the Liquid Metal.
The Liquid Metal was also silver. After the Gold Qi poured into it, it turned completely gold. Its strength and hardness had increased by more than one level. It was basically a divine weapon.
Other than obtaining the Gold Qi, Lin Zhen's other ability had also been strengthened. That was gravity!
Before, when he absorbed a planet's core, the gravity was already very useful. It had helped Lin Zhen a lot in many battles. Now that he absorbed a second planet's core, the gravity immediately doubled.
When Lin Zhen forcefully pulled a broken, incomparably large tree trunk up, Lin Zhen knew that his gravity could already be used to deal with normal beginner level wargods in battle.
He put down the tree trunk that was pulled up, making a clanking sound.
Feeling some movement behind him, Lin Zhen turned around and saw Su Mingyue standing behind him.
Today, Su Mingyue was wearing a light blue dress. Her long hair was gathered to one side of her neck. Her hands were placed in front of her stomach. She looked at Lin Zhen as if she wanted to say something, but stopped.
"Mingyue, what's wrong? Aren't you practicing? "Lin Zhen asked.
"No, I'm watching you practice."
"Ah! Watching me? How long have you been watching? "
"I've been watching for an entire night."
"Why didn't you call me?"
Su Mingyue glanced at Lin Zhen: "Your skills seem to have become very powerful. Have you basically succeeded?"
Lin Zhen nodded with a bit of joy: "Yes, I've basically succeeded. I've also absorbed the Comet Crystals here. We can finally leave and go find more Comet Crystals."
"Congratulations. You said you'd succeed in half a month, but now you've succeeded in only 12 days."
"Yes, I planned to do it in half a month, but I've brought it forward by three days."
"So we'll leave here tomorrow morning?" Su Mingyue asked again.
Lin Zhen nodded. He had basically completed everything that he wanted to do here. He had learned the Lightning Spear River, absorbed the Gold Star Core, strengthened his gravitational force, and improved his realm. Even after this period of cultivation, his Spiritual Power had improved by quite a bit. He had taken a big step forward on the path of the Intermediate Gold Rank and had officially begun his journey towards the Late Gold Rank.
Now, compared to when he first entered the Stellar Fruit Tree, his strength was much stronger. He was also confident that he wouldn't have to hide anymore after leaving this place. Instead, he would be able to compete with other students and even some older students.
Since that was the case, why should he stay here? He and Su Mingyue had already explored the surrounding area, and there were basically no more Comet Crystals.
Su Mingyue's expression seemed to darken for a moment. Then, she raised her head and smiled at Lin Zhen: "It's okay. Then you can call me tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Su Mingyue returned to Lin Zhen's little nest. It seemed like she was going to sleep.
Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
The next morning, Lin Zhen didn't call Su Mingyue to leave. Instead, he continued to cook. These days, he found that the flower buds in the fruit tree could be eaten. He specially made a plate of stir-fried food to eat. It didn't matter if he didn't have a pot. The liquid metal could be changed at any time.
Su Mingyue finished eating unhappily. Lin Zhen still didn't say that he wanted to leave. Instead, he pulled Su Mingyue to look at the stars. The trees were dim during the day. Lin Zhen told Su Mingyue a lot of half-truths and half-lies. Finally, Su Mingyue relaxed. She seemed to have noticed that Lin Zhen didn't want to leave immediately.
Weaving vines, swinging, cooking, and telling stories. For three days, the two of them didn't practice martial arts. Instead, they just lived here, as if they had forgotten everything in the outside world.
On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Zhen was on guard. Su Mingyue finished bathing. Then, she took the initiative to say to Lin Zhen: "Idol, I've been very happy these days. But we should leave. We are martial artists. We can't be greedy for fun."
Lin Zhen smiled bitterly. He didn't know who was the one who was greedy for fun.
The two of them packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Su Mingyue looked back at the clear pool. There was some reluctance in her eyes.
