X-Dragon Era-Chapter 528 - s 382-384: Formidable Enemy Attacks

Cracking open the blue, hard shell of the pine nut, he peered inside to find a cross-legged sitting infant, complete with brows and eyes, carved out of what seemed like blue jade. At this moment... the little fellow was sitting cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, looking incredibly adorable!

However, this only looked like an infant; in fact, there was merely the appearance, and upon closer inspection, there were no signs of life. As he contemplated this... Xin Yun casually tossed the pine nut into his mouth.

The pine nut melted upon entry, transforming into streams of rich and cool energy, sliding down his throat and directly entering his Dantian. The next moment... surges of wild energy rippled within Xin Yun's body.

As time passed, one day... two days... three days... finally, after a full nine days, Xin Yun slowly opened his eyes, feeling stunned by the state within his body; and the next moment... Xin Yun couldn't help but throw his head back and roar at the sky.

As Xin Yun roared, within the Celestial Pot, four other distinct whoops resonated simultaneously. No mistake... almost at the same moment, everyone had absorbed all the energy within the pine nut.

Although it was just a single pine nut, the Spiritual Energy contained within was too rich and abundant. Within a short period of nine days, Xin Yun had directly enhanced his realm from Gold Two-Star to Gold Nine-Star! Currently... the nine Giant Dragons within the Dragon Ball were circling and flying to their utmost limit! Nevertheless... about thirty percent of the Spiritual Energy within the Dragon Ball remained undigested.

After a quick calculation, a single pine nut proved itself capable of raising an entire level of energy; even if Xin Yun had just entered the Gold level, he could have instantly ascended to a Nine-Star realm, and next... all he had to do was to merge the nine dragons into one, reaching the Crystal level! It just remained unknown... what effect the same pine nut would have on Luo Fu?

As he pondered, Xin Yun left the secret chamber. As soon as he stepped out, he saw the other four teammates exiting their respective chambers at the same time. They exchanged smiles, evidently all very pleased.

Upon mutual inquiry, Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan had simultaneously reached Gold Nine-Star. The only differences lay in the remaining amount of Spiritual Energy in their Dragon Balls; Ming Xuan had the most, followed by Yan Qingying, and as for Yi Luo Xiang and Xin Yun, they were about the same.

As for Luo Fu, who had already been at Amethyst Eight-Star, he finally reached Amethyst Nine-Star with the help of the pine nut. Worth mentioning... Luo Fu had been at Amethyst Eight-Star for a while, and this pine nut actually did not enhance his energy by an entire star.

Originally, Luo Fu had been cultivating for some time and had been at Eight-Star for several years. Now, with the aid of the pine nut, he finally crossed the threshold into Nine-Star. Once he merged the nine dragons, he would reach Ten-Stars and, upon comprehending the abilities of the Diamond level, Dragon Gate would possess its very own expert at the Diamond level!

Some might say that the pine cone's power is rather weak, increasing only so much strength! In fact, this is not the case... one must understand that inside a pine cone lie five pine nuts. By calculation, one pine cone is sufficient to raise a Crystal level by one star's worth of energy. If all five are consumed, that's an increase of five stars.

However, the pine cone is a colorful pine cone, and its five pine nuts correspond to the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If one person ingested all of them, they would surely explode and die. Thus, it must be consumed separately by five individuals. Eating them all is not an option.

Furthermore, like the Peaches of Immortality, the primary function of the pine cone is actually to extend lifespan and improve physical constitution. Just like the Peaches, once eaten, they offer immediate rejuvenation and eternal youth.

Although Xin Yun and his teammates didn't quite reverse aging, the most significant change after eating the pine nuts was the enhancement in talent, aptitude, and Potential due to the wash of Innate Spiritual Qi. While their physical bodies still fell within the Acquired realm, if tested now, Xin Yun's three indicators would all surpass the critical threshold of 80!

An 80 threshold might not seem high, but what does 80 imply? Correct... an 80 signifies that Xin Yun has the potential to rise to the Diamond level. If the three indicators don't reach 80, one might never achieve the Diamond level in their lifetime!

Of course, there are many ways to increase talent, aptitude, and Potential. Generally speaking, whatever the method, one can increase to about 90 at most. Beyond that... it's only through one's evolutionary breakthrough.

To become a King level expert, one must have over 99 in at least one indicator, otherwise, no matter the effort, it's likely futile. Of course... this is merely a conclusion Xin Yun himself came to, without any proof. He drew this conclusion because each of the Nine Great Experts from his past life exceeded 99 in at least one aspect.

Following the pine cone, Dragon Gate's upper echelons all experienced a significant boost in strength. Xin Yun and three teammates had reached Gold Nine-Star, and Luo Fu had also stepped into the realm of Amethyst Nine-Star. Next, they all faced the challenge of merging the nine dragons and comprehending higher levels of essence!

Although they would have liked to turn around, head back to the secret chamber, and continue cultivating until they merged the nine dragons and grasped the mysteries of the new realm, in reality, they could not do so.

Dragon Gate's upper echelons had been in retreat here for nine days. Although Dragon Gate was not left leaderless, Shoushan City had been without supervision.

Nine days is neither long nor short, and anything could have happened. However... the luck of Xin Yun and the others seemed to hold out. As they rushed to Shoushan worriedly, they found a peaceful and quiet Shoushan City. Under the guardianship of Luo Fu's seven children, Shoushan City remained safe and unharmed!
