The arduous days passed day by day.
In such an environment, Lin Zhen was still improving at a rapid pace.
His body was greatly tempered by the Nine Heavens Astral Wind. From the initial three minutes, it gradually increased to five minutes, then ten minutes …
The bleeding of the scales gradually stopped, and the gaps between the scales became incomparably tough.
Under the effect of Time Deceleration, Lin Zhen's time did not pass quickly. Even so, three years had passed!
These three years, to Lin Zhen, were more than twenty years!
In the outside world, there were some changes to the god's reward exchange.
*****
"Hey, hey, did you see that? The god's reward has been refreshed. "
"I saw it. The previous treasures have basically been exchanged for. Divine Crystals, Absolute Treasures, and Inheritance Crystal Balls have all been exchanged. Of course, there will be new ones."
"The prizes this time look pretty good."
The martial artists in the outside world were all discussing and checking.
The quality of the second batch of treasures was much better than the first batch. For example, although there were still nine Absolute Treasures, most of them were defensive Absolute Treasures. Their prices were also much higher than before.
The first batch of Absolute Treasures were all below ten thousand Divine Stones. This time, they were all above ten thousand Divine Stones.
The previous three thousand Divine Crystals were all raised to ten thousand Divine Crystals this time.
The gods were all calculative. They knew that even if the prices of the prizes were raised, the martial artists in the eye of the storm would still buy them. This was because if they did not buy them, the Divine Stones in their hands would lose their effect.
Even if the martial artists were unwilling to take this opportunity to amass wealth, they could only pinch their noses and accept it.
This time, there was an additional special function, which was designated exchange.
For example, if a martial artist needed something that was not available here, they could leave a message on the exchange panel and request to buy it. The god would give them a price based on the item. It was a private order.

At the entrance of the Valley of Wind and Thunder, a luxurious carriage pulled by nine dragons was parked there.
One black and one hundred Titled Demigods stood at the entrance and looked in. At the same time, they were talking.
The black-clothed demigod said, "Isn't this Valley of Wind and Thunder a little too terrifying? As far as I know, there's no wind in the core area of the storm. Why is the storm even stronger here?"
The white-clothed demigod said, "There's a reason for this. The four great deities changed the direction of the wind in the eye of the storm, making it slower every year. Only 49 years of 4.9 million years were squeezed out, allowing people to enter the eye of the storm without fear of the astral winds. But in reality, where did the storm that was supposed to occur during these 49 years go? It can't have disappeared into thin air, right? Actually, it's concentrated here. "
Another black-clothed demigod sighed. "All the storms are concentrated here, but our master still has the ability to explore deeper. As expected of a Hall of the Exalted super master!"
"Yeah, the Hall of the Exalted is really strong. No wonder there are only 100 Hall of the Exalted in the entire surface race."
Hearing the white-clothed demigod's sigh, the black-clothed demigod said, "No, it's not just 100 Hall of the Exalted. It's just that there are only 100 Hall of the Exalted members. Not everyone in the Hall of the Exalted stays there forever. For example, our Master Laughing over All Life. After this storm ends, it's about time for him to refine the Divinity Crystal and break through to the divine state. As long as he becomes a god, there'll naturally be an empty spot in the Hall of the Exalted. As for the rest, it'll be up to the Titled Demigods to fight for the final spot. Maybe you and I will also have a chance to enter the Hall of the Exalted. "
"Forget it, don't joke around. I know very well that those who can become members of the Hall of the Exalted are all super freaks. Our master's strength is already at the peak in my eyes, but he's still ranked at the bottom of the Hall of the Exalted. I don't have any hope at all."
The black-clothed demigod also sighed. "Yeah! Let's stop dreaming. You and I are almost at the peak of the Demigods. Our talent has determined that we won't be able to improve much. Back then, we also failed to break through to the divine state. Our only hope is to refine the Divinity Crystal. When our master breaks through, you and I will give it a try. "
"Okay, but the Divinity Crystal is a little expensive now. I wonder if our master …"
"Eh! Our master is coming out! "
The two Titled Demigods who were talking suddenly stood up. At the entrance of the Valley of Wind and Thunder, Laughing over All Life rushed out.
This super expert of the Hall of the Exalted looked worse than a beggar. His body was covered in wounds and blood, and his clothes were tattered. He looked like an African refugee who had been bombed.
Laughing over All Life hurriedly opened the door of the dragon carriage and entered.
The hot spring water and medicinal bath were already prepared for him. It had the effect of recovering blood and energy. Laughing over All Life fell into the pool and soaked for a while before he heaved a sigh of relief.
"What a freakish place!"
The black and white demigods looked at each other. The white demigod asked, "Master, did everything go well today?"
"Not very well. With my body's strength and astral power, it is difficult to withstand the Nine Heavens Hurricane for a long time. If I didn't return quickly enough, I might have died in there."
"If even our master can't pass through it, then no one can enter the Valley of Wind and Thunder."
Laughing over All Life thought for a while. "If it was before, I might have chosen to give up and explore the Crisscross Continent. I might be able to get some good rewards. But now, the gods have opened a new reward panel and I can reserve some things. How can I give up?"
"What do you mean, my master?"
"I want to reserve a defensive treasure that can withstand wind and thunder. As long as it can withstand half of the wind and thunder's power, I will be able to come and go freely in the Valley of Wind and Thunder."
"Then it must be very expensive."
"Even if I have to go bankrupt, I must get it. As long as I can get the god's treasure, all this is nothing."
At this point, Laughing over All Life's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Today, I saw something strange."
"What did you see, my master?" the Black and White Gods asked.
Laughing over All Life thought for a moment. "The wind was too strong, so I didn't have time to record it. But I vaguely remember that it was a footprint."
This sentence shocked the Black and White Gods. "No way! There are footprints in the Valley of Wind and Thunder? "
"Could it have been left behind by the ancients? My master should be the only one who tried to pass through here. "
Laughing over All Life shook his head. "I didn't see it clearly. I can only go in after I get the defensive treasure. Hopefully, I can confirm this. If there really is someone in there …"
Laughing over All Life paused. "I have a feeling that if someone really went in, then that person must be the one who exchanged for the God's Inheritance crystal ball!"

Inside the Valley of Wind and Thunder, Lin Zhen's clone was trying to make pills in the Treasure-hunting Teng's hut.
He raised one hand, and a bright green flame burned in his palm. He didn't need a pill furnace; he could make pills with his bare hands.
The flame's temperature was constantly being adjusted, flickering between bright and dark. There couldn't be the slightest deviation in this process. Even the slightest difference in temperature could lead to failure.
When three thousand degrees was needed, it could only be three thousand degrees. Three thousand and one or two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine wouldn't do.
One by one, the medicinal herbs were mixed and placed into the palm of his hand. The process was complicated and confusing, causing people to be dazzled.
"Hiss, hiss!!!"
The flame in his palm suddenly twisted a few times, and then its color dimmed until it was extinguished.
"I failed!"
Lin Zhen let out a breath and opened his eyes.
"Fortunately, everything went as expected. Although I failed, it wasn't a problem with my technique. It was because I was missing a medicinal ingredient, the Beast God's Blood."
The Beast God's Blood referred to the blood of Astral Beast martial artists who had cultivated to godhood. When this blood was added to pills, it would be greatly beneficial to martial artists of the same race.
If Lin Zhen wanted to make pills for the God Realm, this blood was essential.
"Now that I can order it, I can try to order it from the gods and see if I can get it. As long as I get this medicinal ingredient, I'll reach the God Realm in no time."
He raised his palm, and the exchange panel appeared. Lin Zhen tapped a few times in the air and opened the private order panel.
"Order a portion of Beast God's Blood. Weight … concentration …"
After listing his requirements, the price was generated.
"Fifty-five thousand God Stones!"
Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly. This price was not low. The God's Inheritance crystal ball was only 100,000 God Stones. This blood was insignificant to a Beast God, but since it had something to do with gods, the price would not be cheap.
'Looks like I'll have to collect more God Stones. My pill refining work can be considered to have come to an end for now.'
With a thought, the Treasure-hunting Teng's hut disappeared. His clone also entered the main body's inner world.
Lin Zhen's main body appeared. He stood in the Nine Heavens Squall.
His body was covered in armor. His black scales shone with a dim light. The piercing squall could collapse mountains, but it could not move his scales at all.
Compared to three years ago, Lin Zhen's body had grown significantly after transforming into armor. Previously, he was 2.5 meters tall. Now, he was more than three meters tall.
His muscles were firm and lean. This proved that Lin Zhen had matured in his Galactic Beast form.
If he transformed into a Black Hole Beast now, his body would be more than 50 meters long. He would truly be a leviathan among the stars.
"After three years of hard work, I can finally get used to the Nine Heavens Squall here. In my armor form, the squall has no effect on me. Even in my normal state, I can withstand it for a few hours.
"Now that I can move around here, I should go look for the treasure."
"Kris, help me determine the most likely place to hide the treasure."
"Master, aren't you going to the location of the final battle between the two gods?"
"There's no hurry. Let's get the God Realm medicinal ingredients first."
Kris quickly calculated and soon came up with an answer.
"Master, according to my understanding of this place, 100,000 kilometers to the east, two Regal Lords have fallen. 250,000 kilometers to the south, one Regal Lord and one Hall of the Exalted have fallen. Which side do you want to go to first?"
"Since there are fallen Hall of the Exalted experts, I must go there. 250,000 kilometers is not that far."
