The Stellar Crystals contained an extremely powerful energy. Most martial artists would have to prepare well before absorbing it. They would have to adjust their condition to the best of their ability. After absorbing it, they would have to digest it for a while before their dantian could truly contain it.
However, Lin Zhen did not need to do that. He had the Dark Star in his body. His dantian was stronger than ordinary people. Even if he could not absorb it immediately, he could let it settle within the Dark Star and slowly release it.
At least, the energy of three Stellar Crystals was not enough to stop Lin Zhen.
After an hour, all three Stellar Crystals had disappeared. All the energy had entered Lin Zhen's dantian.
Dantian Qi swelled, then calmed down, then swelled again, then calmed down again. After repeating this process a few times, it finally calmed down.
"According to others, compressing Dantian Qi is easy at the beginning, but difficult at the end. For the first layer of compression, 10 Stellar Crystals would be enough. For the second layer, 30. For the third layer, 50. For the fourth layer, 80. For the fifth layer, I would need 100. Now that I have absorbed four Stellar Crystals, my Dantian Qi is almost halfway through the first layer of compression. With just six more crystals, I will be able to complete the first layer of compression. "
"Moreover, I have the Dark Star in my body. My Dantian Qi is different from others. As long as I do not actively reveal it, others will not be able to discover my actual realm. I can safely absorb it."
"It is said that to compress ten layers of Dantian Qi, not only does it require a martial artist's talent, it also requires a thousand Stellar Crystals. That is simply unimaginable. No one even knows if it is true or not. However, I will give it a try."
After Lin Zhen finished absorbing, he stood up. He could feel that his dantian was indeed much stronger. His spirit was greatly boosted. He stepped on the shield again and went to the east side of the mound.
Since no one was around at night, Lin Zhen could safely harvest it.
The east side of the mound was slightly larger. Therefore, it was occupied by Zhou Butong's team. No one else was allowed to touch it.
Looking at the mound, there were eight Stellar Crystals sparkling on it. Among them, there were five Stellar Crystals.
"This time, I will take four. According to the old rules, I will leave one for them."
Lin Zhen set out once again. Because he was focused on escaping, he didn't kill the bees. He didn't want to leave too many corpses and be discovered the next day.
Under such circumstances, there were no other warriors competing with him, so naturally, there wouldn't be any intense battles. With his mental force shield and liquid metal protecting his body, Lin Zhen wouldn't be in too much danger. After a frightening but not dangerous journey, Lin Zhen once again returned from a rewarding journey.
"Four! Hahaha! In just one night, I obtained seven Stellar Crystals. If this continues, compression will no longer be a problem. "
Lin Zhen once again returned to the bottom of the leaf and began to absorb the newly plucked Stellar Crystals.
This time, it took almost two hours for Lin Zhen to finish absorbing.
At this moment, he had already absorbed eight Stellar Crystals. He was only two Stellar Crystals away from completing the first compression.
Looking at the mound, Lin Zhen saw another Stellar Crystal on the west side. But this time, he didn't touch it. Taking too many at once would be too conspicuous.
He stepped on the shield and returned to the tree hole. When he returned, Li Changying had already gotten up and was meditating.
"Idol, where did you go?" Li Changying would sometimes call Lin Zhen 'idol'.
"Nothing much. I went out to cultivate for a while."
Li Changying didn't ask any more questions and continued to cultivate. Cultivation was a very common thing for warriors. It was also the thing that consumed the most time.
Lin Zhen also meditated for a while, allowing the newly injected energy in his dantian to calm down and completely transform it into his own strength.
By the time they finished cultivating, the sky was already bright. The warriors all walked out of the tree hole.
"Ah! Another beautiful day has begun! "
"Today, I must work hard and try to obtain one Stellar Crystal. With five more, I will be able to compress three times!"
"You are still okay. I am still 18 Stellar Crystals away from compressing two times."
"Hehe, that's fine too. At least there is hope. I want to attempt five times compression, but five times compression requires 100 Stellar Crystals. I don't think I will have any hope within this year."
"You are showing off. I don't know when I will reach your realm. I am already 27 years old, 29 years old. When I am 29 years old, no matter what realm I reach, I will break through to wargod and leave the Stellar Fruit Tree. I haven't been home for many years. If I don't go back, my family won't even recognize me."
"What's there to miss about home? What I want to know the most is where my limit is. I don't even know if I have the talent to compress five times. If I do, I will break through to wargod and become an expert. "
"That's true. Which of the true experts outside didn't come from the Divine General Training Camp? Those who can't compress their dantian are noobs."
"You can't say that. I heard that the Ministry of Science and Technology has been producing dantian compression medicine for a long time. However, it is ridiculously expensive. People like you and I can't get it."
"I know. However, medicine compression is different from star crystal compression. Those are inferior products with limited potential. What we have is natural. Only martial artists from the Divine General Training Camp can compress their dantian."
"Mmm … Li Changying and the rest are here. Let's go and get something to eat before we depart."
A few martial artists who were chatting saw Li Changying, Lin Zhen, and Zhao Xiaoman coming over. They all chose to leave.
In this group of three, Lin Zhen was an outsider. Moreover, he had offended many people because of Li Changying. Naturally, no one was willing to see Lin Zhen.
Zhao Xiaoman was from group three in the west. However, she was chased out. Lin Zhen took her in and naturally offended another group of people. Group three in the west was still very strong. No one was willing to offend them.
Needless to say, Li Changying was someone who Boss Zhou secretly wanted to take care of. Whoever got close to her would be unlucky.
Moreover, there were only three of them. The number of people in the group was not enough and did not comply with the challenge rules. These martial artists did not take them seriously.
Lin Zhen and the rest did not care that others ignored them. After all, they had nothing to do now. The three of them followed the crowd to the Hive.
The rules of the Hive had been set for hundreds of years. Before six o 'clock in the morning, no one was allowed to go to the Hive to pick star crystals, even if they were mutated star crystals.
In the past, there had been many cultivators who couldn't resist the temptation to pluck the Star Crystals and were immediately killed by the joint forces of the other cultivators. Rules were rules and couldn't be broken easily. Even the person in charge couldn't blatantly break them.
As for the night, it was not that no one had secretly come. However, they could not see at night. Basically, whoever came would die. After a long time, no one would have any ideas about the Hive at night.
Lin Zhen and the rest went to the west. A few people from group three were also there. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoman was still there, someone immediately said, "Zhao Xiaoman, you have been chased out by us. Don't be so shameless as to follow us. There is no place for you here today."
"Tsk! Who do you think you are? I came here today with Big Brother Lin. In the future, even if you invite me back, I will not go back. "
"Dream on. Why would we invite you? Who is Big Brother Lin? Is it this dusty brat? "
Lin Zhen was busy until late yesterday. He did not notice that his face was covered in dust. Today, his appearance was slightly indecent. He was immediately despised.
"Brat, you dare to accept Zhao Xiaoman. You are going against our group. You will regret today's decision."
"That's not necessarily true. Xiaoman is smart, beautiful, and strong. You guys actually blindly chased her out. I think you are the ones who will regret it."
Those people saw that Lin Zhen did not care about them at all. They were a little angry. However, they were about to start harvesting. It was not the time to get angry.
He pointed at Lin Zhen threateningly. "Brat! Good, you have guts! Let's wait and see. "
Then, Captain Wang said to Zhao Xiaoman, "Zhao Xiaoman, we will let you see how many Stellar Crystals we can harvest today. However, there will not be a single one for you!"
Lin Zhen immediately said, "I guess you guys will get nothing today."
"Haha, ignorant thing. What do you know? Yesterday's weather was very good. It was sunny. The bees were working hard to harvest honey. There must be a lot of honey dripping. Today, there are at least five Stellar Crystals on the mound. Our group three will definitely get off to a good start. "
"That's not necessarily true. I'm a very accurate person. I'll curse you all right now. I curse you all that you won't get anything today." Lin Zhen mumbled a few strange words. It sounded like something that would happen.
"Let's go, Captain. Ignore this lunatic. He will know how stupid he is in a while."
Those people looked at Lin Zhen with disdain. Then, they strode towards the mound.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoman pulled Lin Zhen's sleeve. Lin Zhen turned around and saw that Zhao Xiaoman's eyes were a little red.
"What's wrong, Xiaoman?"
"Big Brother Lin, thank you for helping me. Xiaoman is very grateful …"
"It's a small matter. Don't take it to heart."
"Mm, I know you are a good big brother." Zhao Xiaoman nodded gratefully.
Lin Zhen touched his face. He thought to himself that he must not forget to wash his face tomorrow morning. He was younger than Zhao Xiaoman, but she kept calling him big brother. Although she looked young, he was not old either.
"But Big Brother Lin, you don't have to fight with them. They should be able to get something today. These people should have no problem getting one Stellar Crystal a day. Today, they should be able to get two Stellar Crystals."
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. I have already cursed them. They have no chance." Lin Zhen said with a smile.
Li Changying spoke at this time. "If your curse is really useful, then you will really be my idol in the future. I have practiced martial arts for so many years. This is the first time I have heard of curses being useful."
"Then let's wait and see." Lin Zhen did not say anything more. If he said anything more, it would arouse suspicion.
At this time, a surprised voice came from the front. "Damn! There are so few Stellar Crystals today. There are only two! This is not right! "
"What is not right? It's normal to have so few. It's six o 'clock. Let's go!"
All the teams rushed towards the mound. After a period of chaos, the first and second teams each obtained a stellar crystal. The fourth and fifth teams set their goals lower and obtained planetary crystals.
Only the third team did not care about Planetary Crystals. They wanted to fight for Stellar Crystals but did not win against the first two teams. In the end, they returned empty-handed.
Li Changying turned her head stiffly and looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief.
