Chapter 330: 0329 True Qi Crystal!

Crystal clear, full of luster, as hard as a diamond, Ye Qiu pinched it and it didn’t shatter.

What is this thing!

If he hadn’t felt an energy emanating from it, he would have definitely mistaken it for a pebble.

But he knew in his heart that it was no pebble, otherwise it wouldn’t have helped him through the dire straits.

An energy crystal?

Ye Qiu guessed, and felt it was highly likely. He tried to absorb the energy from it again, and soon a cool sensation flowed through his palm into his body, then converged in the Dantian and transformed directly into True Qi. Although it was somewhat bulky, it was definitely the energy of True Qi.

A Qi Crystal, Ye Qiu had an inkling, if it hadn’t been for this thing, he would have been in a terrible situation just now.

Ye Qiu glanced around, at the center of the storm, there were several scattered Qi Crystals on the ground.

Good stuff.

Ye Qiu immediately ran over and picked up the Qi Crystals from the ground. With these things, he could quickly replenish his True Qi and recover to his best condition.

There were about seven or eight pieces, Ye Qiu counted. His eyes shifted, then he ran back to where the black hole had disappeared. Indeed, there he had also seen this black crystal, only picking it up thinking it was a Qi Crystal.

The black crystal was about the size of a bird’s egg, several times larger than the Qi Crystals, which were the size of fingernails.

Ye Qiu placed the black crystal to the side, wanting to quickly regain his strength before anything else.

As Ye Qiu absorbed one Qi Crystal after another, his spirits immediately perked up.

"Indeed, good stuff," Ye Qiu praised, then sighed, "It’s a pity, though, there are too few of these... I have no idea where to find more."

Ye Qiu fantasized for a moment, if he could collect more Qi Crystals, his cultivation would definitely be twice effective with half the effort and the time greatly shortened.

However, moments later, he shook his head, "Am I being too greedy? It’s already a stroke of luck to be alive."

As the saying goes, human greed knows no bounds, and Ye Qiu didn’t want to experience being pulled by the black hole again, an utterly chilling sensation.

Now that he had regained his strength, Ye Qiu didn’t jump out of the eye of the storm immediately. Without the black hole, the storm would naturally slow down to a stop, otherwise rushing out rashly would definitely cause him to be spun around by the storm again, an extremely unpleasant sensation of dizziness.

So Ye Qiu sat down right there and began cultivating.

The exchange with Sun Ziyan had given him a trace of enlightenment, especially Sun Ziyan’s last punch, which deeply moved him.

The protective shield of True Qi crumbled instantly under that punch, completely unable to defend. If not for Sun Ziyan’s fist that had drawn the black hole and the sudden onset of the tempest, he probably would have been killed on the spot by that punch.

The world still had such a terrifying boxing technique, Ye Qiu witnessed such a technique for the first time, but despite its power, it probably had a huge cost.

"The current plan is, I must quickly comprehend the Colored Glaze Diamond Body; otherwise, facing an attack like Sun Ziyan’s again, I fear I would still be pierced through in an instant," Ye Qiu said to himself.

The power of Sun Ziyan pressed upon Ye Qiu, the flicker of insight in his mind had not yet dispersed.

Ye Qiu calmed himself down, contemplating the guidance that the compassionate mysterious person had given him about the Colored Glaze Diamond Body.

The initial stage of the True Qi shield was to project True Qi outside the body, something Ye Qiu had already achieved. But to go a step further and retract the True Qi shield inside the body, this was something Ye Qiu had never fully understood.

The compassionate mysterious person’s initial guidance was merely a hint; actual comprehension depended on Ye Qiu himself,

Retracting it inside, by what method, was what Ye Qiu had been pondering. He had repeatedly tried, but all to no avail.

Since the True Qi shield was composed of True Qi, if retracted, it meant directly withdrawing the True Qi, which was not what the compassionate mysterious person described as retracting it inside the body, a point Ye Qiu had rejected.

If it were so simple, the kind-hearted mystic would not have spoken so.

There must be a deeper meaning that Ye Qiu had not understood before, but when Sun Ziyan shattered his True Qi barrier, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind. Could it be that only by doing so would it be possible to truly assimilate it within his body?

Ye Qiu began to try.

The True Qi barrier was released once more, enveloping his entire body like an invisible protective film.

Then, with a thought from Ye Qiu, the True Qi barrier automatically shattered into countless fragments. He did not allow these fragments to dissipate on their own; instead, Ye Qiu, propelled by his True Qi, affixed all the fragments of the True Qi barrier to his body.

"Merge!"

Ye Qiu uttered a single word, and saw the fragments made of True Qi, sticking to his skin, piercing through one by one, and then burrowing into his body.

At this moment, Ye Qiu’s expression was somewhat ferocious, his body completely covered in blood. Integrating the True Qi barrier into his body was more difficult than he had imagined.

The fragments of the True Qi barrier melted once inside his body, beginning to seep into the outer layer of his skin.

The process was swift, and in no time at all, he could no longer feel the energy from the True Qi barrier’s fragments.

He looked at his skin, which had a slight gleaming luster. He ran his finger lightly over it, and not even a mark was left.

Why does it feel like this isn’t skin, but more like a layer of steel?

Ye Qiu had not expected that in just a few short minutes, such a significant change would occur to his body’s surface. Skeptical, he pulled out a knife from his ankle and slid it across his finger.

Sizzling...

A grating sound of cutting metal instantly emanated, startling Ye Qiu. Could the knife not even harm him? One should know that there was not the slightest protection from True Qi, it was purely the flesh’s outer skin, how could it possess such formidable defensive power?

Is this the Colored Glaze Diamond Body that the kind-hearted mystic spoke of, a level higher than the True Qi barrier?

Ye Qiu could hardly believe that he had achieved it just like that.

Wanting to test the defensive power of the Colored Glaze Diamond Body, Ye Qiu exerted more strength this time and swiftly slashed the knife across his arm.

Ding...

This time, a brief metallic clashing sound was heard and quickly, his skin finally got cut.

"Fifth layer of strength, just to make a cut, could it be I’ve become an Iron Diamond Person?" Ye Qiu said to himself with a mocking laugh.

"If the key to the Colored Glaze Diamond Body lies in the action just now, then to increase its strength in the future, I fear I must repeat the process not just once or twice." Ye Qiu’s head ached at the thought of integrating the True Qi fragments into his body and enduring unbearable pain.

However, for his own sake, Ye Qiu had no intention of giving up this method to cultivate.

With some understanding of the Colored Glaze Diamond Body, Ye Qiu felt considerably at ease; all that was left was to methodically enhance his defensive power.

It was then that Ye Qiu devoted his effort to examining the black crystal.

The transparent crystal was a Qi Crystal, a timely aid for Ye Qiu, but the black crystal before him was completely different.

It refracted a pitch-black, ink-like light, not very large, but quite heavy.

Ye Qiu knew this was no ordinary item, but seeing its dark color, he was somewhat reluctant to rashly absorb the energy within it.

Otherwise, if it turned out to be harmful, Ye Qiu would take a great loss!
