Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 365 - 376: Sun Shining Stone

After collecting his thoughts, Chu Linfeng slowly opened his eyes. He felt significantly better, but his vision was still blurry. If one looked closely at his eyes, they would find that at this moment, they were completely red.

Slowly standing up, Chu Linfeng said to the Black Gold King, "Brother, since this stone is so powerful, why haven’t you destroyed it or moved it away?"

The Black Gold King replied helplessly, "We’ve tried to destroy this stone before, but we never succeeded. Every time we attacked the stone, it emitted dazzling light, causing many Black Gold Magical Beasts to perish or be injured."

"This is indeed a problem. If I can move this stone, how would you thank me?" Chu Linfeng asked.

Upon hearing this, the Black Gold King looked at Chu Linfeng with disbelief and said, "If you can move this stone, I’m willing to agree to any conditions. I wouldn’t mind anything for the sake of the Black Gold Race."

"I know your Black Gold Race exists because there is a Black Gold Spiritual Vein here. Whenever a spiritual vein’s metal ore appears, it generates Ore Crystals. How many Ore Crystals have appeared from this vein?"

"So, it turns out you had me bring you here for the Ore Crystals. To be honest, there are two Ore Crystals here. One is the Main Ore Crystal formed a long time ago, and the other is the Sub-Ore Crystal formed over tens of thousands of years.

If you can move that stone, I’m willing to give you the Sub-Ore Crystal. That’s my biggest concession. You must know only our Black Gold Race knows the locations and extraction methods of the Ore Crystals; even knowing won’t get you anywhere," said the Black Gold King.

"Lin Feng, quickly agree to him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I have a way to obtain the Sun Shining Stone!" Sword Spirit immediately said.

Hearing Sword Spirit’s voice, Chu Linfeng felt delighted. Indeed, he was right to guess that she had a way, so he immediately said, "Alright, I hope Brother keeps his word. You must know moving that stone requires a huge price."

"I understand this naturally; as long as you can manage it, I will strictly keep my promise. This would be a tremendous help to the Black Gold Race, and I will surely agree to you!" The Black Gold King said sternly, though Chu Linfeng couldn’t discern his expression.

"Have him leave for a while; I will personally retrieve the Sun Shining Stone!" Sword Spirit said at this moment.

"Brother, retrieving this stone must require attacking it, and you would be hurt if you stayed here. Why don’t you wait for me up ahead? I’ll call you when it’s done." Chu Linfeng said.

"Then I’ll trouble you!" The Black Gold King said, turning around to leave.

"Get some Dragon Blood down from your body, I have use for it!" Sword Spirit said.

"How much? Why is blood needed to move the Sun Shining Stone?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Not much—just a bowl will do. I know bleeding is hard for you now, but you must pay the price for these Ore Crystals. To know that once you’ve practiced Water Transformation and absorbed the crystal’s energy, you can directly break through to the Divine Martial Realm’s power, and then you can practice the Third Transformation, Earth Transformation. Not even a Divine Martial Realm Fifth Level expert might be your match." Sword Spirit said. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Sword Spirit’s tempting conditions left Chu Linfeng with no reason to refuse, though getting a bowl of blood was indeed difficult now that he had reached the Fourth Layer of the Star Body.

At this moment, a white light appeared from Chu Linfeng’s brow, and a small white sword emerged in front of him. Then, Sword Spirit’s voice transmitted in his mind, "Let your blood drip onto the sword; I’ll remind you when we’ve reached the needed quantity!"

Seeing the little white sword floating in front of him, Chu Linfeng immediately took out the Cyan Frost Sword from the Storage Ring. He steeled his heart and slashed fiercely at his wrist, creating a deep, bone-visible cut, from which light yellow blood slowly flowed.

If it were an ordinary person, their blood might spray like a fountain at this moment, but for Chu Linfeng, it dripped slowly—a stark contrast.

What made Chu Linfeng speechless was how the wrist wound began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a scar within three minutes, stopping further blood flow. The amount that came out was only about a small wine glass.

"Damn it, why did my blood become so little? I need more cuts—this is really pathetic!" Chu Linfeng said helplessly.

"Cut both wrists, or it’ll take forever to reach the needed amount." Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng’s face darkened. His blood was really worthless—back when he hatched Xiaoying, he almost bled out and died; the same occurred when absorbing the Dragon Power from the Dragon Scale. And now, for this Sun Shining Stone. Who knows if it’s extremely precious or terribly cheap?

"I want to see whether you heal faster or I cut faster!" Chu Linfeng’s face sank as he promptly cut both wrists.

Suffering such physical pain was nothing to him, akin to children playing house compared to the agony of breaking through to the Star Body.

He then slashed open the other wrist, and the blood flow sped up. Chu Linfeng noticed the blood wasn’t actually dripping onto the sword but seemed to be caught by an invisible force above it—an effect he knew Sword Spirit was employing.

The wounds continued to heal quickly, while Chu Linfeng kept slicing again and again. He lost count of how many times he’d cut before Sword Spirit finally spoke, "You can stop; it’s not easy to get your blood—I waited almost half an hour. Step back and close your eyes; the Sun Shining Stone’s light could indeed blind your eyes."

After Sword Spirit finished speaking, the white small sword flew out carrying Chu Linfeng’s light yellow blood, while Chu Linfeng, having learned his lesson with his eyes once, though eager to see how Sword Spirit would obtain the Sun Shining Stone, ultimately chose not to.

Hence, he walked a few steps forward, sat down, shut his eyes, waiting for Sword Spirit’s good news.

Sword Spirit then flew in front of the Sun Shining Stone, and a burst of white light revealed her maiden form. If Chu Linfeng saw it now, he’d surely be shocked, as Sword Spirit appeared far more real than her previously vague presence.

From her fingertip, a ray of white light rapidly shot at the Sun Shining Stone, which simultaneously emitted dazzling light brightening the cave as if it were midday.

Sword Spirit seemed fearless of the light, dripping all the blood on the sword onto the Sun Shining Stone. Slowly, the stone’s light dimmed, returning to calm after about ten minutes.

Sword Spirit then split the Sun Shining Stone with the sword, an ear-splitting sound echoed in the cave, causing Chu Linfeng and the Black Gold King to startle greatly, yet neither dared to look back at the unfolding events.

Meanwhile, a light yellow bead gradually rose from the now shattered Sun Shining Stone, landing in Sword Spirit Yue’er’s hand. Holding this bead, she murmured to herself, "Lin Feng, this time you really hit the jackpot..."
