Dragon Covenant

Chapter 10

Albert Martin was sitting quietly on the cultivation platform, reflecting on his cultivation process. He knew very well that cultivation couldn't be done blindly and recklessly; instead, one needed to accurately grasp the rhythm and limits. Once the limit of the load was reached, one must stop cultivating and wait for the body to recover. Only in this way could one go further on the path of cultivation in the future.

He recalled the Soul Refining Technique he had used. Although it wasn't the lowest level, it was by no means top-notch either. This made him realize even more deeply that it was crucial to upgrade the level of the Soul Refining Technique. Only with a higher-level Soul Refining Technique could the burden on the meridians be reduced and the cultivation efficiency be improved.

At this moment, Albert Martin knew clearly that he couldn't be impatient for quick results and must wait patiently for his body to recover.

"My soul has reached the third stage of the Common Realm." Albert Martin murmured softly. At the current cultivation speed, Albert Martin was confident that he could raise his soul to the fifth stage of the Common Realm within a week. Perhaps a Four-Star Soul wasn't really that high, but Albert Martin firmly believed that with the continuous accumulation of a large amount of cultivation resources, his cultivation progress would surely surpass that of many people in the academy, even those who were extremely outstanding.

"But this is far from enough." Because next month was the academy's big exam, and his goal was to enter the Newhurst Advanced Academy, which was the top academy in the Newhurst Empire, with extremely strict admission requirements. Every year, many excellent young people were ultimately rejected by the insurmountable threshold of the Newhurst Advanced Academy. No matter how hard you tried to break through, it wouldn't open easily. Therefore, if Albert Martin wanted to catch up with others, his current speed was still not enough. "After all, I still have to upgrade my Four-Star Soul." Albert Martin thought to himself and then walked straight out of the cultivation room. There was already a person waiting quietly at the door. "Young Master, Cherry asked me to remind you that the things you asked her to prepare for you have all been sent to your room."

Albert Martin responded and immediately returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the delicate box on the table. He opened the box and saw bottles of Soul Liquid neatly placed inside.

Albert Martin picked up one and examined it carefully. The emerald-green liquid flowed slowly in the bottle, as if containing a vigorous vitality.

"Is this the Soul Liquid?"

This item could only be refined by those with Wood or Light attribute souls and was regarded as an indispensable thing for cultivators, along with elixirs.

Clearly written on the bottle was "Four-Star Soul Liquid, 58% Purity". Four-Star Soul Liquid was relatively common on the market, and 58% purity was already considered a qualified quality, two percent higher than the 56% purity Soul Liquid on the market. And the higher the purity of the Soul Liquid, the higher its price would obviously be.

To refine Soul Liquid, many different varieties of spirit herbs were fused together and then synthesized. During the fusion process, many impurities were produced. Obviously, in the 58% purity Soul Liquid, the 42% part was impurities that couldn't be absorbed by the soul.

The more impurities the human body absorbed, the higher the degree of corrosion of the soul would be, and eventually the Soul Star level couldn't be upgraded.

Albert Martin looked at the 50 bottles of Soul Liquid in front of him. It was only at this moment that he truly realized the huge advantage of his dual soul power. He didn't need to worry about the soul being corroded by using too much Soul Liquid. His dual soul power enabled him to absorb it without any scruples.

At this moment, all he wanted was to see if he could raise his soul power to Five-Star after using up these 50 bottles of Soul Liquid. Thinking of this, Albert Martin's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

In the early morning, on the attic of the room, Albert Martin rubbed his heavy eyelids, looking at the box in front of him with a somewhat regretful look in his eyes.

There was still nearly half of the Soul Liquid left unused.

Albert Martin had ultimately overlooked one point. Although he himself didn't need to worry about the erosion of impurities in the Soul Liquid, it took time to absorb one bottle of Soul Liquid. After a whole night, he had only absorbed twenty-seven bottles of Soul Liquid.

However, he could clearly feel that the Wood-Light attribute soul inside his body was much denser than before. Albert Martin calculated in his mind that probably more than 100 bottles of Soul Liquid would be needed to upgrade it to a Five-Star Wood-Light soul. After calculating, it would probably cost about 200,000 gold coins.

Albert Martin then had a sudden thought, and his expression changed instantly. To upgrade to a Five-Star soul, Five-Star Soul Liquid was needed, and the price of Soul Liquid increased several times with each star upgrade. Then how huge a quantity of Soul Liquid would I need in the future?

To upgrade from Five-Star to Six-Star, wouldn't it cost a million gold coins?

To upgrade from Six-Star to Seven-Star, wouldn't it cost nearly ten million gold coins?
