Chapter 200: Chapter 12: Dual Spells Unity, Divine Movement Protection, Express Delivery from Xier County (Part 3)_3

.....

The twenty-fourth day.

In the Earth Vein Hall.

Zhao Xing was sitting cross-legged in front of a mural.

At this time, many people were sitting and meditating in the spacious mural corridor.

Anyone who practiced Earth Advantage Sect Magic and reflected on the various earth vein flows of the Nineteen States could gain some insights.

[Divine Movement Protection: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Sixth-turn (6995/18000)]

"Meditating on this earth vein mural has indeed made quite some progress, four days and the progress has increased by 990 points,"

"But I have already been reflecting here for four days,"

"Yet Divine Movement Protection still has not broken through to the seventh turn."

"Only five points short on the progress bar, are the last five points really this difficult?"

Although coming to the Earth Vein Hall to meditate on the mural was not without gains,

the progress had increased from 6005 to 6995.

But those were the gains from the first three days.

Today, for the entire day, not a single point was gained.

"Free stuff really isn’t of good quality,"

Zhao Xing shook his head.

Nothing like the effects of a Fourth-rank Preaching Painting.

The resources freely available were indeed helpful for the new recruits, but even these free valuable sites had their limits.

To break through an advanced spell that combines two magics to the seventh turn in a short time is quite difficult.

"I only have slightly over a thousand merit points and can’t buy a Fourth-rank painting from the armory,"

Zhao Xing was browsing through the Earth Mirror.

To have an effect on him now, a Preaching Painting had to be at least Fourth-rank top-grade.

But each Fourth-rank top-grade Preaching Painting costs three thousand merit points!

That’s after a discount, no less; the military prices are cheaper than outside.

Previously, what Lu Qian and Zong Shichang bought were all more than three thousand two, with Lu Qian’s "Myriad Magic Cloud Map" even exceeding six thousand two.

"To make Divine Movement Protection breakthrough, I at least need the corresponding Divine Movement Palace and Xuantu Protection Preaching Paintings, which means I need at least six thousand merit points,"

"I can’t take on any missions now; where will the points come from? Should I gamble through sparring?"

Gambling through sparring was challenging someone to a duel and using merit points as a bet.

Now, after over twenty days, many people used this opportunity to try to gain points from others.

But after thinking it over, Zhao Xing dismissed the thought.

"Everyone’s as poor as church mice; new recruits barely have 100 merit points. After more than twenty days, they’ve probably been spent long ago. There’s no point in betting ten or twenty merit points,"

"And those with a few thousand points may not necessarily lose to me."

"Long Xiao and Old Chen, why haven’t they delivered my order? It’s been so long,"

The Blood Spirit Needle and Blood Evil Pearl that Zhao Xing initially obtained were both Fourth-rank Treasures, which he had given to Long Xiao and Old Chen.

Ten days ago, he had received a message from Old Chen saying that he would send something over.

Now he didn’t know what was happening; no delivery had come through.

"Probably something came up and delayed them."

"Forget it, I’m only five points short of progressing; I may not need merit points to break through."

Zhao Xing kept looking at the mural in front of him.

.....

Time passed, and Zhao Xing stayed in the Earth Vein Hall for another four days,

His eyes never leaving the mural.

In front of him now was Pinghai State’s seven main earth veins, which corresponded to metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

Each earth vein was very stable and flowed very slowly. If one didn’t observe closely, it was impossible to notice their movement.

"To move the earth veins of a whole state, how difficult it is."

"The Endless Palace and Divine Movement Palace can collapse some small earth veins in certain places, but against the Nineteen State Earth Veins of this caliber, not to mention Ninth Grade, even a Fifth Grade would find it difficult to shake."

"Powerful, incredibly stable, encompassing everything, nurturing every spark of life."

Zhao Xing watched quietly.

Unconsciously, he used the Inspection technique, hoping to see more clearly.

At a certain moment, a meteor streaked across his field of vision.

The immense and stable earth veins suddenly quickened in flow, and Zhao Xing saw the second layer.

"So that’s how it is."

Zhao Xing showed a smile, stood up, and walked out of the Earth Vein Hall.

[Divine Movement Protection: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Seventh-turn (7001/18000)]

On the twenty-eighth day, his Divine Movement Protection successfully broke through to the seventh turn.

"With only two days left until the division competition, to be able to train Divine Movement Protection to a seven-turn level, I consider it a completion of the advancement training plan."

Zhao Xing was quite satisfied with the outcome.

Rolling Earth Mine, Little Nine Heavens Gang Wind, although only on the third and fourth-turn levels, these levels aren’t too bad either.

To master every single spell, to turn from a genius into an all-rounder? That would require a massive amount of time and stacking resources.

"Hum~"

At that moment, the Earth Mirror in his pocket vibrated.

Zhao Xing took out the Earth Mirror and saw it was Long Xiao trying to contact him.

"He’s at Ten Suns Cave Heaven?"

The Earth Mirror could only be used for contact within Ten Suns Cave Heaven; Long Xiao and Old Chen always wrote letters previously.

Contact through the Earth Mirror naturally indicated that they were personally there.

"Zhao Xing, where are you? I’ve come to deliver your goods!"
