Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 47: Peach Garden

'Tsk, so he doesn't have any powerful backers.'

Lu Jin clicked his tongue in secret regret.

Undoubtedly, he acquired another treasure—no, a whole bunch of treasures that were beyond his means.

It should be understood that in the vast universe, cultivators whose strength is below the level of King-level Invincible are basically unable to afford treasures that can enhance the level of their life genes.

He dared not sell such a treasure.

Otherwise, even if only one peach were sold, the cultivation resources before immortality would definitely be enough, and more than enough.

Immediately, Lu Jin couldn't wait to take out the Peach Garden.

After infusing his spiritual power and communicating with the bewildered spirit of the artifact, he quickly completed the recognition of the artifact as its master.

The next moment, Lu Jin's figure disappeared into the cave.

All that remained was a small, palm-sized white jade gate, resembling a work of art.

The space shifted, and Lu Jin appeared inside the Peach Garden.

The peach orchard is not very large, only about 400 acres.

However, the park is well-lit, with a magnificent starry sky overhead, and is surrounded by a high wall as white as jade.

Turning his gaze into the garden, Lu Jin saw that every fifteen meters in all directions, there was a peach tree with a trunk covered in mysterious silver patterns, five meters tall, and a crown diameter of about eight meters.

On a full twelve hundred peach trees, the lush branches and leaves were laden with large, three-inch-diameter peaches, all white except for the tips which were adorned with pink blossoms.

As he smelled the refreshing fragrance of peaches, Lu Jin's spiritual energy radiated outwards.

After reserving nine peaches for himself, he, like a cunning rat, collected all the ripe peaches from the 1,200 peach trees in the garden into his cheat-like space, which no one could steal.

'These peaches are indeed big and white.'

Looking at the nine peaches that appeared in front of him, especially the pink tips which looked particularly tempting, Lu Jin was about to taste them when he suddenly thought of something important.

Any cultivator with even a little knowledge knows the benefits of a higher level of life genes.

Just like a planetary-level martial artist or a mentalist, without breaking through to the stellar level, each level they advance doubles their basic abilities in all aspects.

If the level of life genes reaches ten times, even if the level is only at the initial stage of planetary first rank, the foundation of oneself in all aspects can exceed the peak of planetary third rank and reach planetary fourth rank.

However, while a high level of life genes is certainly a good thing, it also has some minor flaws.

If your life gene level reaches ten times, then the energy you need to accumulate to advance your level is ten times that of an ordinary cultivator of the same level.

This flaw is minor; compared to the power boost brought by a tenfold increase in life gene level, it's nothing at all.

However, for Lu Jin, who currently has no access to a wider world, this is a rather serious problem.

The corpse of the first-tier planetary Scorpion King can only be decomposed into a little over one planetary-level life source crystal.

Based on this ratio, a peak-level planetary-tier king-class monster can at most decompose into two planetary-level life crystals.

If one were to use Life Source Crystals to upgrade their level, it would take more than 500 planetary-level Life Source Crystals to go from the initial Planetary Tier 1 to the peak of Planetary Tier 9.

The dual cultivation of martial artists and spiritual masters yields over a thousand planetary-level life source crystals.

If it's only a little over a thousand, then there are definitely enough King-level monsters on Earth, since there are at least nine hundred King-level monsters in the ocean.

Moreover, higher-level King-class monsters can be broken down into more Planetary-level Life Crystals.

However, if he were to increase his life gene level tenfold by consuming the peaches of immortality, thus increasing the resources required for upgrading tenfold, then there wouldn't be enough king-level monsters on Earth.

After all, most of the king-level monsters on Earth are only planetary-level 1. No matter how you calculate it, it's impossible for him to collect more than 10,000 planetary-level life crystals.

'Should I eat it after reaching the peak of Planetary Rank 9?'

Looking at the nine tempting peaches in front of him, Lu Jin thought to himself.

If he could already access the universe, he would definitely eat it immediately.

It's just tens of thousands of planetary-level life source crystals, nothing special.

Even living planetary-level slaves couldn't fetch a good price, so corpses were even less valuable.

Moreover, the Demon Refining Pot is not picky about its food; it can simply buy non-human corpses such as planetary-level wild beasts and demon beasts.

As for money?
He didn't have any of the currency of the cosmic civilization in his pocket.

But if you're really short on money, the Sky Shuttle, a low-grade third-tier psychic weapon, isn't a non-sale item.

Not to mention that Earthlings have also explored many ancient civilization relics.

Even the Sky Shuttle can have a second one, which suggests that major powers must have plenty of valuable items from the ruins. You could easily become rich by picking up a bargain.

Resisting the temptation to eat the peaches, Lu Jin also stored the nine peaches into his external storage space.

Then, Lu Jin took out the "Supernatural Powers: Exorcism" inheritance jade slip.

Thanks to the characteristic of the inherited jade slip that it could unconditionally allow the user to master the supernatural power when it was first used, Lu Jin directly mastered this soul enslavement supernatural power.

Although it may not seem to have much effect in the short term, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the immortal and higher-level alien races in the extraterrestrial battlefields and cosmic secret realms are going to be in trouble in the future.

There is no limit to the number of exorcism talismans that can be created by activating the exorcism power and condensing the power of the soul.

If he didn't acquire more soul servants with decent strength in the future, Lu Jin would feel somewhat guilty towards this supernatural power.

Moreover, the divine bodies of immortal gods are regenerative. Even if their strength is low, they can just chop off an arm or a leg every now and then, and then they'll have immortal-level life source crystals.

The Demon Refining Pot is said to decompose corpses into resources, but it can also decompose parts of living beings; it's just a matter of quantity.

Since achieving immortality requires comprehending a certain lower-level law, most normal cultivators cannot achieve immortality with immortal-level life source crystals.

But if it's a life form like the Cloud Vine or the Star-Eating Grass, which can't comprehend the laws and can only upgrade by absorbing resources, then it should be possible, right?
‘Shua——’

Outside, inside the cave, Lu Jin's figure suddenly appeared, taking the Peach Garden into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Not only the Peach Garden, but also the Demon Refining Pot and the Kunlun Mirror could be stored in his body after he reached the planetary level.

Then, Lu Jin had a thought and flew away from the natural cave.

Although the breakthrough was only in mental power, he can now fly by using the magnetic field generated by the rotation of the miniature planet in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After exiting the cave, Lu Jin specifically found a spot to roughly test his flight speed after breaking through his psychic powers.

Without manipulating the body's magnetic field or using the Sky Shuttle, he simply piloted the hexagonal shield at full speed, less than a kilometer per second.

However, by controlling the magnetic field around his body with the miniature planet in his sea of ​​consciousness and using the Sky Shuttle at full speed, his maximum speed has exceeded 2,400 meters per second!
