Chapter 389 Absorbing the Genesis Star Pill (1/2)

Zhou Yuan’s face was still creased with worry when he returned to his cave dwelling, likely still fretting over how he would obtain a Heaven Credit in three months. Due to old Xuan’s seniority and rich history in the Cangxuan Sect, Zhou Yuan did not dare to doubt the weight of the old man’s words. He felt that if he truly angered the latter, there was probably no way he could keep the Taiyi Green Wood Mark.

All he could do now was obediently follow old Xuan’s instructions, and hand him a Heaven Credit in three months

In the cave dwelling, when Yaoyao could not help but ask when she saw Zhou Yuan’s expression, “What happened?”

Zhou Yuan gave a bitter laugh as he reiterated what happened with old Xuan.

“A Heaven Credit?” Yaoyao lifted her head in astonishment upon hearing this. She naturally knew how difficult it was to obtain a Heaven Credit.

In fact, many highly experienced senior purple sash disciples were unable to obtain one even after numerous years.

Yaoyao quickly said, “Show me that Taiyi Green Wood Mark.”

Zhou Yuan obviously had nothing to hide from Yaoyao. Therefore, he immediately retrieved the plant and handed it to Yaoyao.

Yaoyao observed the green plant, before she closed her eyes. Her Spirit was extremely powerful, enabling her to just barely detect the information hidden within the plant. Though it was not complete, a brief glance was all she needed.

A long while later, she opened her eyes and softly said, “What a formidable Genesis technique. As expected of something left behind by that old mister.”

To elicit such high praise from someone like Yaoyao just goes to show how amazing the Taiyi Green Wood Mark was.

“Exchanging a Heaven Credit for a Genesis technique like this is indeed quite a bargain.” Yaoyao remarked.

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly as he nodded. He naturally knew that he was not losing out, but it was simply too difficult to obtain a Heaven Credit. After all, Heaven tasks only appeared a few times a year.

“Ask Shen Wanjin to keep a lookout first.” Yaoyao suggested.

“As for you, you should find some time to refine the Genesis Star Pill, and quickly enter the fourth layer. If not, you won’t be able to complete a Heaven task even if you manage to obtain it.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. This was what he had in mind as well. Shen Wanjin was doing quite well for himself in the Cangxuan Sect, and knew about all the latest rumours and gossips. With his aid, it would save Zhou Yuan the trouble of miserably camping at the mission hall every day...

As for himself, the most important thing now was to improve his strength.

Once he advanced to the fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage, he should be able to match Xu Yan in a direct fight, no longer having to resort to the same drastic measures he had utilized previously.

Hence, Zhou Yuan tasked Shen Wanjin keep an eye out for any information regarding the Heaven tasks, while he secluded himself deep within his cave dwelling as he prepared himself. He was waiting for the perfect timing to absorb the Genesis Star Pill to break into the next cultivation level.

This wait lasted for five days.

…

Deep within the cave, pure Genesis Qi continuously gushed out from the spring, filling the area with a light mist. A few breaths of the air here would immediately invigorate one’s spirits.

Zhou Yuan was silently seated on boulder beside the spring. His breaths were long and drawn-out, while his chest barely even moved, almost as if he was in a state of hibernation.

A long while later, he deeply exhaled from his nose as his eyes slowly opened.

Light surged in the depths of his eyes, as if they were gems containing a hidden glow.

After five days of preparation, he was now in tip top condition. This was the best time for him to absorb the Genesis Star Pill.

Zhou Yuan probed the interior of his Qi Dwelling, where more than seven hundred Genesis Qi stars were shining. As he breathed, strands of pure Genesis Qi spread, circulating within his Qi Dwelling.
