By the time Bu Chen helped Xing Jue break the seal, it was already late. Considering that there was still a large number of Saint Stones to be refined the next day, Xing Jue did not stay any longer and returned to the slave camp with Bu Chen.
Because he was worried that something might happen to Bu Chen, Xing Jue secretly followed him to where the slaves lived. He wanted to help Bu Chen if he was discovered. After all, with his current status, ordinary soldiers had to respect him.
However, when he saw Bu Chen avoid the soldiers' detection and sneak into the slave's residence without a sound, Xing Jue realized how unnecessary his actions were. Bu Chen was indeed a very cunning old fox.
The next morning, Xing Jue proposed to the fatty to transfer Bu Chen to him early in the morning. As Xing Jue refined the Saint Stones quickly and of excellent quality, the fatty now regarded Xing Jue very highly and attached great importance to him. He naturally agreed to Xing Jue's small request immediately.
Xing Jue did not feel the slightest bit grateful to the fatty for his efficiency. His relationship with the fatty was completely based on their value to each other. If there was a day when Xing Jue lost his value, there would only be one outcome for Xing Jue — death.
However, before Xing Jue lost his value, the fatty would have already died in Xing Jue's hands. Xing Jue would definitely not be merciful to this group of evil scum from the Prophecy Camp. The day Xing Jue made a name for himself would be the day they died.
"Aiyaya, young lady, look at your soft and tender skin. How can you do this kind of rough work? Let me do it. Don't look down on me because I'm skinny, I'm strong. Back in our sealed continent, I …"
After Bu Chen was transferred here, he did not sit quietly in the palace and enjoy his life. Instead, he circled around a group of good-looking women.
Looking at him, his first impression was that he was a pure old pervert. However, Xing Jue, who knew Bu Chen a little, could tell that Bu Chen didn't want to take advantage of all the women. It was purely because he couldn't stay any longer, and these female slaves could help him relieve his boredom.
However, to Xing Jue's surprise, this Bu Chen was not only proficient in sealing techniques, but he was also quite proficient in refining array formations. According to him, array formations originated from the same sect, so he, who had a thorough understanding of sealing techniques, also knew about array formations.
Therefore, when Bu Chen arrived and found out that the slaves had to operate the array to refine the Saint Stone, the person who was at ease became Xing Jue.
However, this was great news for Xing Jue who had just broken the seal and could not wait to refine the Holy Stone.
As it was daytime, Xing Jue did not dare to leave the vicinity of the palace. Therefore, he could only refine the Holy Stone to raise his cultivation in the palace.
Fortunately, the palace was very large. Other than the hall where the Holy Stone was refined, there were countless rooms. Excluding the female slaves and Senior Bu Chen's residence, there were still many empty rooms. Xing Jue, on the other hand, chose an uninhabited and secretive room to cultivate.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
At this moment, Xing Jue was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands on top of each other, forming a strange hand seal. His tightly closed eyes occasionally trembled, and his body was already surrounded by rays of dark blue light. These rays of light all came from a Holy Stone in front of Xing Jue.
When he broke through to the Battle-Saint Realm, Xing Jue had already refined this Holy Stone. The speed at which Xing Jue, who was proficient in the Soul Devouring Technique, refined the Holy Stone could be said to be monstrous. Now that Xing Jue had the body of a Battle-Saint, refining these Holy Stones could only be described as terrifying.
In just a short two hours, Xing Jue had already refined hundreds of Holy Stones. If an ordinary person were to cultivate, being able to refine ten Holy Stones in two hours would already be considered an absolute genius. Of course, this so-called absolute genius was also in the minority. At the very least, in the huge Divine Secret Unit, there were not more than a hundred of them.
"Phew, if I continue to cultivate like this, in less than ten days, I, Xing Jue, will be able to break through to the Intermediate Battle-Saint Realm."
After refining hundreds of Holy Stones, Xing Jue stood up and let out a long sigh of relief. Feeling the abundant energy in his body that had increased by nearly half, Xing Jue revealed an excited smile.
The path of cultivation was long and endless. Apart from cultivating in seclusion when breaking through to a certain level, if one were to accumulate their cultivation normally, cultivating for a long period of time would be counterproductive. This was because the body would always have a limit. Once this limit was exceeded, one would not be able to absorb the energy.
The amount of energy a person could absorb was the limit of each person. If an ordinary person refined Holy Stones, ten Holy Stones a day was already the limit. However, for Xing Jue, hundreds of Holy Stones a day were just right.
Furthermore, through Xing Jue's Soul Devouring Technique, Xing Jue could absorb the energy from the Holy Stones and fuse it into his body to the extreme. Therefore, Xing Jue's cultivation speed could be said to be at a rapid pace, far beyond that of an ordinary person.
This was also the strength of the Soul Devouring Technique. Of course, it was also the strength of Xing Jue. After all, there were many people in the Soul Devouring Clan who cultivated the Soul Devouring Technique, but there was only one person who could reach the effect of Xing Jue. Even Hun Ming and Xing Jue's father could only approach Xing Jue's speed.
"Senior Bu Chen, sisters, how about we add more dishes today?"
After secretly refining hundreds of Holy Stones, Xing Jue, whose strength had improved tremendously, was currently filled with glory and excitement. The excitement in his heart could only be described as beautiful. Just as he walked out of the pavilion, he saw the female slaves who had already gotten along with Bu Chen and were smiling like flowers. Xing Jue shouted happily.
"Add more dishes? Add what dishes?
"After hearing Xing Jue's words, the female slaves blinked their big watery eyes in confusion.
"My sisters are so beautiful, we can't eat vegetables every day, so we're going to add meat dishes." Xing Jue chuckled.
"Meat dishes!"
"No, Young Master, we prefer to eat vegetarian dishes."
"That's right, Young Master, we're already used to eating vegetarian dishes. Don't let them send us meat dishes anymore." After hearing Xing Jue's words, the beauties were actually shocked. Each of their beautiful faces turned pale, and some even had a reaction of vomiting.
"Heh, don't worry, sisters. I, Xing Jue, will not let you eat human flesh."
"Senior Bu Chen, I'll leave this place to you. If Fatty asks where I'm going, just tell him that I'm going to the back of the forest."
Seeing the terrified expressions of the beauties, Xing Jue could not help but chuckle. After giving Bu Chen a look, he leaped down from the pavilion and ran towards the back door of the palace.
"Xing Jue, give me more small ones. The small ones are tender." Seeing this, Senior Bu Chen also shouted happily. After that, he revealed an excited smile because the meat that Xing Jue was talking about was something that only the two of them knew.
"Senior Bu Chen, what kind of meat is Young Master Xing Jue talking about?"
Seeing that Bu Chen seemed to know, a woman with a seductive figure walked in front of Bu Chen and bent her slender waist. She asked Bu Chen, who was squatting on the ground and activating the refining array.
"This... The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Seeing that everyone was so curious, Bu Chen shook his head and pretended to smile mysteriously. However, when his gaze swept across the chest of the woman, he was instantly stunned.
"Puchi ~ ~ ~"
"I say, little girl, how many times have I told you? Please don't look down on me in the future. I can't take it anymore." Suddenly, Bu Chen covered his nose as he spoke in a panic. At this moment, a stream of blood flowed down from his hand.
"Ouch ~"
When the woman heard Bu Chen's words, she was a little puzzled. However, when she saw Bu Chen's nosebleed, she came to a sudden realization. She hurriedly tightened her clothes and her seductive face was flushed.
Because the guards here only gave them loose slave clothes, there were no safety measures inside, so every time they bent down, half of their breasts would be exposed, teetering.
Swish swish swish swish swish!
"Pfff, pfff, pfff, pfff!"
Yesterday, in the lake where Xing Jue and Bu Chen were, a figure was standing on a boulder at the center of the lake. As he waved his arms, countless sharp branches shot into the water like arrows.
Not only were the branches extremely fast, but they were also very powerful. Under such force, the branches would only set off a clear circle of ripples when they entered the water, and not even a splash was made. Every time the branches floated back to the surface of the water, there would be a still alive and kicking black fish stuck in it.
"Heh, these should be enough for the big sisters to eat."
"Swoosh."
Seeing that there were already nearly thirty fish floating out of the water, Xing Jue's Soul Devouring Token flashed and all of them were absorbed into it. Then, the tip of his foot lightly tapped on the boulder and he leaped out of the center of the lake like a dragon soaring into the sky. Like a gust of wind, he flashed into the forest.
Using the Imperial Wind Technique to its limit, Xing Jue's speed was as fast as lightning. He quickly shuttled through the forest, and even the cheetahs and monkeys were far inferior to him. In just a short period of time, Xing Jue had already returned to the front of the palace.
"That's right, I have to put on a good show."
However, when he arrived near the palace, Xing Jue did not enter. Instead, he took out a leather sack with a flick of his wrist. Then, he pointed the Soul Devouring Token into the sack and a dozen black fish fell into it. After completing this, Xing Jue carried the leather sack and walked towards the palace.
"Ha, I'm back! Senior Bu Chen, I'll leave these to you. "After entering the palace, Xing Jue threw the sack of black fish to Bu Chen's side.
"Alright, leave it to this old man. I'll let you have a taste of the long-lost Beggar's Fish!" Upon seeing this, Bu Chen did not hesitate. He grabbed the sack and happily walked out of the palace, preparing to roast these black fish.
"My god, this brat actually caught so many?"
When he arrived outside the palace, he set up the fire for the roast fish. When he opened the sack, Bu Chen was shocked because he never imagined that Xing Jue could actually catch so many fish. Most importantly, it was in such a short period of time. It should be known that from the time Xing Jue left to the time he returned, only a few minutes had passed.
"It seems like this old man did not misjudge you."
After a moment of surprise, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Bu Chen's old face. Then, he cast his deep gaze towards the palace behind him.
