Galaxy of Giant Ships: Starting with Data-Driven Warships

Holding the two life crystals in his hands, Chen Yao's mind raced.

As a very special mineral, the Life Crystal contains pure life energy, which is the best nourishment for plant life. Little Star has just sprouted and is congenitally damaged, so it needs a lot of life energy to repair its deficiencies and accelerate its growth.

Moreover, the life energy in the life crystal is gentle and pure, which is of great help to cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks. He is currently preparing to break through to level 9 of the Guiding Technique, and these two crystals have come at just the right time.

Thinking of this, he took out the last Soul Nourishing Pearl from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is a second-tier Soul Nourishing Bead. Carrying it with you will benefit the growth of your soul in the future. Take it."

When Huang Qizhuo saw the crystal-clear jade bead, his breath hitched.

Second-tier Soul Nourishing Bead.

For a Qi Refining cultivator like him, whose spiritual root aptitude is extremely poor and whose cultivation speed is slow, the value of the Soul Nourishing Pearl is unimaginable.

After all, for Qi Refining cultivators to advance to Foundation Establishment, there are strict requirements for their spiritual sense. In addition, the strengthening of spiritual sense means that the cultivator's control over their own magical power will also increase accordingly, which can improve the cultivation speed to a certain extent.

Without exaggeration, this Soul Nourishing Pearl is enough to increase his success rate in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage by 10% to 20%. If he were to add a Foundation Establishment Liquid, Huang Qizhuo would become even more excited, and at the same time, he would become even more determined to follow Chen Yao.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Yao!"

"Don't thank me, this is a reward for you. Keep it up in the future."

Chen Yao tossed the Soul-Nourishing Pearl to the other party and waved his hand.

Huang Qizhuo held the warm, smooth jade bead, took a deep breath, and did not refuse again.

"By the way, I'm going into seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough to level 9 in Guiding Technique. I'll leave the shop entirely to you. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, remember to ask Brother Ping."

Huang Qizhuo nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, Young Master Yao, just focus on your breakthrough, there's nothing else to worry about."

After Huang Qizhuo left, Chen Yao turned around and returned to the garrison. His steps were light, and he held the two life crystals in his palm, with warm life energy flowing slowly.

The little star on its chest seemed to sense this pure energy, and the vines swayed gently, conveying a joyful emotion.

Chen Yao was not stingy; as soon as he returned to the underground warship room, he fed one of the life crystals to Xiao Xing.

As a super star plant comparable to star beasts, the Star-Growing Vine already has amazing potential. Moreover, it can continuously assist his cultivation of guiding techniques, so he will naturally do everything in his power to nurture it.

The moment the roots touched the life crystal, the Star-Born Vine trembled slightly. The next second, these roots, like sharp needles, easily pierced into the life crystal, frantically devouring the pure life energy within.

Visibly, the emerald green color of the outer layer of the life crystal was slowly dimming, while the little star had become noticeably thicker and stronger, and the external void energy it could draw upon had also increased considerably.

After absorbing the energy from the entire Life Crystal, Xiao Xing was still not satisfied. The vine transformed into a tentacle and pointed towards the other crystal in Chen Yao's hand.

Chen Yao did not comply with its wishes. Instead, he used his mental power to command it to absorb and expel external energy with all its might. At the same time, he himself re-entered the cultivation chamber, closed his eyes and circulated the guiding technique, carefully drawing the pure life energy in the life crystal in his hand into his body.

He wanted to seize this opportunity to break through to level 9 in the Guiding Technique.

Inside the training chamber, psionic energy surged wildly.

At his chest, the Star-Born Vine was slightly warm. With the movement of its countless roots, the rich psionic energy permeating the cultivation chamber was being drawn in at a visible speed, and then injected into his body at full speed through the connection between the roots and Chen Yao's chest.

In addition, the emerald green life crystal in Chen Yao's hand now brings in several times more energy than before.

With multiple boosts, Chen Yao's condition was quickly pushed to an unprecedented level.

Instead of rushing to break through the bottleneck, he first used guiding techniques to refine, compress, and purify the psionic energy in his body again and again until the psionic energy in his body was compressed into a viscous state that was almost solidified. Only then did he begin to try to break through that invisible barrier.

Boom boom boom.

The torrent of psionic energy crashed against the level 8 and level 9 barriers like a giant hammer. At first, the barriers did not budge, but the recoil made Chen Yao feel a tightness in his chest and a faint sweetness in his throat.

He did not give up, and continued to accumulate psionic energy time and time again, launching continuous attacks.

the third time

the fourth time

……

He didn't know how much time had passed; Chen Yao had lost count of how many times he had launched his attack. His meridians were aching, but he still didn't give up.

He gritted his teeth and focused even more intently.

"Again!"

Little Star seemed to sense his determination, and the vines tightened their grip, while its actions of absorbing and releasing external energy accelerated. However, this was clearly an attempt to deplete its own internal energy, and it wouldn't last long.

Feeling the surging torrent of life flowing into his body, Chen Yao's body trembled violently. This energy was like rain after a long drought, instantly revitalizing his exhausted body.

"Break it!"

Knowing this would be his last chance, Chen Yao disregarded everything else and focused all his energy on channeling the inner energy within his body, determined to make one last effort.

Swish swish!

The psionic torrent, carrying all its power, crashed into the already weakened barrier with almost resolute force.

Click!

This time, he finally vaguely heard that heavenly sound in his mind.

The psionic torrent did not stop, surging, tearing, and expanding wildly along the crack that had been breached.

Finally, at a certain moment.

boom!

The barrier shattered with a deafening roar.

Whoosh whoosh!

Chen Yao was breathing heavily, but his eyes revealed an undisguised joy.

Guiding Techniques Level 9, successfully broken through.

With a sigh of relief, he quickly looked down at the little star on his chest. After such a frenzy, it was clearly somewhat listless, with its vines drooping slightly, indicating that the all-out attack had taken a toll.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chen Yao gently stroked Xiao Xing, transferring a wisp of gentle psionic energy to it, and at the same time handed it the life crystal that he had not fully absorbed.

Xiao Xing quickly accepted the Life Crystal, then lazily trembled as if to say, "You're welcome."

After comforting Xiaoxing, Chen Yao stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

All that could be heard was a series of cracking sounds from the bones, as if every joint had been re-lubricated and was brimming with inexhaustible power.

He then closed his eyes, feeling the psionic energy within his body, both in quality and quantity, surge dramatically.

Guiding Technique lv9, only one step away from breaking through to the first level.
