Chapter 1165: Speed Training
"If Elder Chen is free tonight, I'd like to invite you for dinner."
Gu Congwen smiled ingratiatingly.
Considering that Chen Xiaobei was extremely powerful and easy to deal with, this meant increasing the chances of earning more money for Gu Congwen.
He was a businessman after all!
"Dinner?" Chen Xiaobei thought about how in the few days he had been in Northern Wilderness Starfield, he had not seen much of it, so he nodded. "Alright. Time and place."
"We'll set it at six in the evening in Violet Bamboo Restaurant at 1st Street. I will arrive half an hour earlier to wait for you!"
"Alright! I'll see later!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and left.
...
It was still early in the morning, about ten more hours to go before dinner.
So, Chen Xiaobei decided to take a tour of 2nd Street, and then third, and forth.
These blocks were bustling with different people. It made Chen Xiaobei felt like he was in an international city.
He occasionally spotted a few Silver Plume natives, dressed extravagantly and oozing class and swank.
Chen Xiabei used the Netherspirit Battlescouter to observe them and realized that these Silver Plume natives' cultivation was not low.
Gu Congwen's combat power was 80,000, making him a Five-star Platinum.
The rest of the Silver Plume natives he saw on the street had combat power above 70,000—all of them were Platinum-tier.
It appeared that they were not just nobles. They also possessed strength that surpassed the foreigners from the low-ranking starfields!
The few that he had met on the street were more than capable of annihilating the entire 2nd Regiment!
But all that Chen Xiaobei had just seen were just the tip of the iceberg. Silver Plume planet was also just another tip on the iceberg that was Northern Wilderness Starfield!
How many elites were there in the entire starfield? How strong were they?
Chen Xiaobei shuddered just thinking about it.
Celestial Cultivations everywhere, True Kang as common as strays—these were not exaggerations!
But the more he thought about, the more it made sense—on every planet, most of the Spiritual Qis and Spiritual Stones, the best Spiritual Medicine and Items were all in the possession of the nobles! Even if they were to train a pig, with the abundance of resources, its cultivation would turn up pretty high!
...
After he walked around the few blocks, Chen Xiaobei stepped into 1st Street with anticipation.
That place was just as luxurious and high-end. But one thing stood out. There was a large wall north of the block. It was about a few hundred meters tall, and stretched as far as the eye could see. From where he was standing, Chen Xiaobei could not find the end of the wall. Who knows how long it was? But one thing was certain, this wall separated the living quarters of the nobles in the inner city from the outer city where the foreigners lived!
Ju Niao said that the half-nobles lived in 1st Street. Even though they had permanent residences, they were not considered to be true nobles and were not allowed to pass through that wall.
The only way a foreigner could do that was to become a Northern Wilderness soldier chosen by the temple!
It dawned on Chen Xiaobei just how frightening this starfield was!
Even a 110,000 combat power Phantom Rain was eliminated! The 130,000 combat power Emperor God was not selected!
What did that mean?
Only those whose combat power exceeded 130,000 were chosen?
130,000 was already the Pinnacle Phase of Celestial Cultivation! If it goes up any higher, that would be a whole new Ethereal Cultivation!
Only those who reached Ethereal Cultivation could be chosen?
Of course, this was just Chen Xiaobei's speculation.
Phantom Rain might not have been chosen because her strength was not enough, but what was the reason the Emperor God was not chosen?
The only way to find out was to get to that stage.
...
As he strolled around the place, questions filled Chen Xiaobei's mind. He also managed to find out where Violet Bamboo Restaurant was.
Once he was done exploring, he found a quiet place where he summoned the Somersault Cloud and left.
There were still nine hours before his dinner appointment. With his pocket full of resources, it was only right that used the time he had left to train.
To some people, nine hours is barely enough to sleep but to Chen Xiaobei, it was a whole lot of time to increase his strength!
"I will reserve the 500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones since it's a currency here. I could use it to buy things I may need. I will only use the Beast Core to train since I could use it to increase both my health and my combat power!"
Chen Xioabei was sitting on the Somersault Cloud when he conjured up this plan. He took out the Platinum-tier Beast Core out from the Infinite Space Ring, it was shaped like a crystal and it was giving off a paler silver aura. This one was a much higher grade than the one Chen Xiaobei had used before.
"Shatter!"
Chen Xiaobei used the Spiritual Attribute to break open the Beast Core.
Silver fumes were released from the core and traveled into Chen Xiaobei's stomach through his mouth.
This was the essence of a Silver-tier Giant Beast!
The tiny particles brought about a feeling of rivers and streams rushing into his limbs and his bones, soaking into his veins.
"Wow! That was intense! If I could convert all of it, my strength and my health will increase by 10,000!"
Chen Xiaobei did not wait a second longer to summon the Dark Powers to convert the essences!
Based on the speed of his prior training, he could increase 100 Attribute Points in 1 hour and 10,000 Attribute Points would need 100 hours!
"100 hour is equivalent to 4 days... It's still quite a waste of time..."
Chen Xiaobei thought to himself while he was converting the essence of the beast.
He was used to increasing his combat powers and health at a rapid rate. Four days was really quite slow for him.
If anyone heard what he was saying, they would have attacked him for showing off.
To regular people, to increase 10,000 Spiritual Points, even with enough resources would take a few years, maybe even a decade!
Chen Xiaobei's complaints that four days was to slow would annoy many other practitioners.
"What if I use the Sunlight Cache? I could complete it in four minutes!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled and proceeded to retrieve the Sunlight Cache.
"Prajna Paramita."
Chen Xiaobei chanted the spell and the Sunlight Cache illuminated its surroundings with at least two meters in radius in red.
