Chapter 329: Green Water Spirit Marrow
The intimidation power of the Cold Ice King's corpse was immense.
Wherever they went, the Fifth-tier Alien Race of the Water Spirit Clan scattered in panic.
Occasionally, a few would vehemently rise to avenge their king and act as heroes, only to be swiftly slain by Xu Jin with a single sword stroke.
After condensing the Primordial Spirit, the Sixth Order Star Skill used for Void Breaking was becoming increasingly proficient, and solely with the Controlling Objects Star Pattern, the power wielded by the Moon Shadow Sword and Fire Bull Sword was extraordinary.
Just using the Controlling Objects Star Pattern to wield two flying swords to slay Fifth-stage Middle Late Stage alien species proved remarkably easy.
In the midst of the great battle, Xu Jin had already devised an exceptionally sharp flying sword technique.
This gave Xu Jin the idea to evolve the Controlling Objects Star Pattern.
If he could advance the Controlling Objects Star Pattern to the Seventh or even Eighth Tier, what changes might occur?
At that point, could sword flight become a possibility!
Currently, it's possible to stand on it, but not fly.
Of course, not everyone was slaughtered.
Xu Jin captured three Fifth-tier Water Spirits who feared death; after Warm Dream cast a hypnotic enhancement, their Divine Souls were directly controlled, counted as complete mastery.
Xu Jin directed these three to first seize control of the Cold Ice Royal City, while he and Ji Hongli swept the battlefield.
Inaccurately speaking, they were collecting the spoils.
The slain Sixth-tier Alien Races were all treasures, with extremely high value in their Star Cores, as were the two Spirit Clan eye stones, which were among the materials for augmenting the power of Star Artifacts, and were extremely sought after.
The most sought-after and valuable belonged to the Star Cores and eye stones of the Water Spirit King and Wood Spirit King.
The Star Cores and eye stones of these two kings were equivalent to or even exceeded the Seventh-tier Star Cores.
As for the Star Cores, Xu Jin used them all himself.
The Star Cores of the kings all carried powerful Protection Star Patterns, and Xu Jin had to keep them.
The eyes of the Water Spirit King and Wood Spirit King might be exchanged for treasures at an auction someday.
The star cores of those Fifth-tier alien species that were slain shouldn't be wasted either.
"Yu'er, I'll handle these; you first refine this Wood Element Heavenly Star Will." Xu Jin said to Ji Hongli.
Ji Hongli looked at the Wood Element Celestial Star Will, glowing with verdant splendor, that Xu Jin had brought before her, startled, "Senior Brother Qi, this is too precious, isn't it?
Besides, you acquired this spoils, I didn't contribute anything!
You even saved me once."
The origin of Ji Hongli determined her perspective.
She understood what the Heaven and Earth Star Will signified.
She was all too aware of its value.
Her father, who guarded the Star Domain, had mentioned it to her multiple times.
Her grandfather owned two of them, which were considered heirloom treasures of the Ji Family, and could even be said to be the foundation of their clan.
At this moment, Heavenly Saint Qi gave her one directly, and the shock Ji Hongli felt was evident.
"Are you thinking of returning to Wanyi?" Xu Jin asked.
Ji Hongli shook her head, "It's too valuable, I dare not accept it."
In the next instant, Xu Jin's face changed abruptly, and he cursed directly, "So indecisive, what kind of martial world offspring are you! Even when I'm giving you treasures to boost your strength, you refuse; must I save you every time in the future?
Or should I discard you like useless trash?
I told you to obey, didn't I?"
Upon hearing this criticism, Ji Hongli realized her mistake, and looked down at her toes in silence, slightly aggrieved.
However, Xu Jin forcefully pressed that Wood Element Heavenly Star Will into her hand, "Hurry up and refine it!"
"Yes." Ji Hongli nodded lightly, her lips pursed.
"I'm off to collect the spoils."
Xu Jin said, and as he was about to leave, he added, "By the way, remember when you said you'd save me five times? Today, I saved you once; so now, if you want to leave, you must save me at least six times, remember that, Yu'er!"
"I remember!"
Ji Hongli responded with a pursed smile, though her expression betrayed some bitterness.
She hadn't saved anyone yet, but she had already lost one opportunity.
Seeing this, Xu Jin laughed.
Save him five times? Dream on!
Now it's six times.
As Xu Jin turned to leave, he laughed cheekily.
In that moment of his departure and laughter, Ji Hongli happened to see him.
Upon catching sight of him, Ji Hongli felt somewhat dazed.
How familiar!
The slightly mischievous smile when he turned reminded her terribly of her peerless hero!
In the next moment, Ji Hongli shook her head abruptly, discarding the thought, how could that be possible.
Senior Brother Qi is Senior Brother Qi, and her peerless hero is her peerless hero!
Though, Senior Brother Qi was quite good, at least on the battlefield he was.
A few breaths later, the flowers, grass, and trees around Ji Hongli began to grow wildly, encircling her, guarding Ji Hongli as if they were vigilant warriors.
And Ji Hongli began to refine the Wood Element Heavenly Star Will.
Xu Jin handled the Fifth-tier alien species' corpses quickly, only excavating Star Cores, and casually searched, harvested over a thousand Fourth Order Star Jade Tablets, and dozens of Fifth Order Star Jade Tablets.
Once finished, Xu Jin returned to Ji Hongli's side, having her help keep guard while he began to refine the two Water Element Celestial Star Wills obtained from the Water Spirit King.
If not for acquiring thirty percent of the Heaven and Earth Star Will within the Spring Thunder Star Domain, Xu Jin would even consider giving these Water Element Celestial Star Wills to Ji Hongli.
The Water Element Celestial Star Will wasn't all that useful for Xu Jin right now.
However, Xu Jin had to obtain at least thirty percent of the Heaven and Earth Star Will in the Spring Thunder Star Domain; that way, the following plan could be executed with much less difficulty.
Thus, he only gave the Wood Element Heavenly Star Will to Ji Hongli.
Once Ji Hongli refined the Wood Element Celestial Star Will, she would thoroughly integrate within the Spring Thunder Star Domain, and not be readily targeted by the Heaven and Earth of this world, making exposure less likely.
