Chapter 985: Chapter 985: Impervious to All Evil

"What? An official seal from the Immortal Realm?" Zhang Bin was startled, "How do you know?"

"Upon seeing your official seal, I activated some inherited memories. They are about the official seals of the Immortal Realm. In the Immortal Realm, to become an official, one must obtain an official seal. With this seal, your journey to the Immortal Realm will be enjoyable. At the very least, you can become a minor official, which sets your status apart, and the cultivation resources you get also vary. I envy you." The Dragon Vein said admiringly.

"What kind of place is the Immortal Realm?" Zhang Bin asked curiously and full of anticipation, "Does the official seal have any other uses?"

"The main purpose of the official seal is to suppress evil. It has magical capabilities. With the seal as protection, all evils are repelled. Known as the golden light protection, all evils retreat. Of course, this only works against evils that are about as strong as you or slightly stronger. If they are much stronger, they won’t fear your seal. Moreover, the seal can also be used to break formations and relieve restrictions..." the Dragon Vein explained.

"No wonder my Merit Gold Seal likes to float over my head, casting golden light, to protect me."

Zhang Bin muttered happily, saying, "Strength is what’s important. Without strength, the bigger the seal, the faster you might die."

This is not nonsense; it’s true. The bigger the official rank, the more merit one has gained, attracting evils who wish to kill you. Killing you provides them with enormous malice, which benefits their cultivation.

Zhang Bin started diligently cultivating.

He crazily refined and devoured Dragon Qi, and when he reached his limit, he took a Green Spirit Pill he recently crafted.

This elixir could help him break through to the pinnacle of Seed-Condensing Realm.

Essentially, it could allow him to quickly refine Spiritual Energy and Dragon Qi.

Quickly gathering energy and vitality for the seed.

The elixir turned into strange medicinal power and entered Zhang Bin’s Dantian, being completely devoured and refined by the seed.

"Woooo..."

The seed inside Zhang Bin’s Dantian seemed to awaken from a deep sleep, starting to madly devour the True Qi and Dragon Qi in his Dantian.

Like a bottomless black hole.

Xiao Lv and Xiao Qing in the Dantian were terrified and fled far away, scared of being devoured by this horrifying seed.

The current aura of the seed was truly intimidating.

"Refine for me..."

With a thought, Zhang Bin sent out one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones from his space ring.

During this time, he was transforming the desert, frequently going to the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone to collect spirit stones, so his space ring naturally contained quite a few top-grade spirit stones.

The Dragon Vein stared like a fool, pondering where Zhang Bin got so many top-grade spirit stones.

Could he be the son of the Immortal Emperor?

Better hold onto his thigh tightly.

"Crack..."

The top-grade spirit stones shattered under Zhang Bin’s telekinetic powers, transforming into dense Spiritual Energy, quickly absorbed and refined by Zhang Bin, converted into True Qi, and entered his Dantian to feed the seed.

Of course, he continued to madly devour Dragon Qi for the seed to absorb.

The quality of his True Qi now enhanced, much higher than before.

But still not as high-grade as Dragon Qi.

Therefore, the seed needed to absorb and refine a part of Dragon Qi.

He was cultivating for over half a day, having consumed nine Green Spirit Pills.

He completely refined one hundred thousand spirit stones.

Yet the seed didn’t significantly slow its devouring pace.

It only slowed by half.

Thus, he hadn’t reached the pinnacle of Seed-Condensing Realm.

"My heavens, my seed is so peculiar. Could this be the terrifying aspect of the Innate Spirit Seed, needing to devour and refine so much True Qi and Dragon Qi?"

Zhang Bin was utterly speechless, doubting whether this manner of cultivation was correct, because his strength wasn’t particularly powerful; Zuo Xie was about as strong.

"Master, you’re merely cultivating to the Seed-Condensing Realm, the most basic level. It’s hard to showcase your power. Have you seen a very powerful seed?" Xiao Qing said, "Once you cultivate to the Minor Tree Realm, that’s when you begin to be strong. Then you’ll understand the terrifying aspect of the Innate Spiritual Tree."

"But you are also an Innate Spiritual Vine; you have no divine skills or capabilities at all."

Zhang Bin asked in confusion.

"Master, my mother is an Innate Spiritual Vine; I’m just a newly sprouted gourd, having struggled over billions of years. Currently, I’m recovering, which is why I have no divine skills. But I’ll certainly grow very strong in the future, to protect master’s Innate Spiritual Tree." Xiao Qing said.

Of course, she added in her heart, "Primarily, it’s master protecting me; I am your woman after all, hehe..."

"Mm-hmm, I really look forward to it."

Zhang Bin was unaware of Xiao Qing’s false facade, beaming a radiant smile.

He simply concocted two more batches of Green Spirit Pills in the Dragon Palace.

The last time he obtained a lot of herbs from the Demon Sect, and had also acquired many herbs from the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone and the Youming Dongtian. He could refine several batches of Green Spirit Pills, keeping them in the space ring.

He telekinetically released another one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, about to start cultivating again.

The Dragon Vein couldn’t resist the temptation and spoke, "Zhang Bin, your cultivation technique is so mystical. Upgrading is much harder than other techniques; you might need to refine hundreds of top-grade spirit stones, elixirs, and Dragon Qi."

"What? I need to devour and refine so many treasures?"

In disbelief, Zhang Bin froze like a fool, reluctant to trust his ears.

He clearly knew that if he cultivated the Divine Wood Seed, only a few Green Spirit Pills were needed.

Of course, a lot of Spiritual Energy also had to be refined.

But definitely not as much as he’d just refined.

Now, the Dragon Vein said he needed to refine such vast quantities of divine treasures?

This was too terrifying.

"It’s true. The seed in your Dantian is incredibly mystical; I’ve never seen such a wondrous seed with so much potential." The Dragon Vein said, "Therefore, upgrading is hundreds of times harder than others, but your future strength will be hundreds of times stronger than cultivators of the same realm."

"Whoa... Is this good or bad?"

Zhang Bin uttered, dumbfounded.

"Of course it’s good," the Dragon Vein said, "because cultivation has an endpoint. Even if it doesn’t, you might be stuck at a bottleneck unable to break through. At such an endpoint, you will be among the strongest, with the possibility to become a giant. The downside is, because breaking through realms is slow, growing also becomes slow, making you easily fall. However, as long as you stay low-key and endure, you’ll eventually rise."

"Being low-key and enduring, I can’t do that. I enjoy showing off." Zhang Bin said, somewhat gloomy, "Moreover, my current situation isn’t great; I must strengthen faster."

He felt his current strength inadequate for annihilating the Youming Sect.

Furthermore, he would face backlash from the Demon Sect remnants in the future.

Mowan’s talent was frighteningly good.

Moreover, there was the terrifying Mo Tunyu, and if he acquired the agate and nurtured a new body.

He would certainly recover his cultivation quickly.

If he doesn’t quickly grow stronger, how can he protect himself and his loved ones?

"Now that you’ve cultivated an official seal, your soul has become very pure. Your body is also pure now, due to merit protection, repelling all evils..." the Dragon Vein said.

"What? My Merit Gold Seal also helps purify my body?" Zhang Bin interrupted the Dragon Vein in astonishment.
