I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 617 - 474: The Shadow Division Ascends, Li Qi Reaches Tier Six

Chilling air permeated the ice house while Qin Tian gradually opened his eyes.

The Mythical Society's gathering had come to a close.

He felt immense satisfaction from this assembly, as it allowed him to keep exchanging cheap Explosive Iron Balls with Ares for Dragon Blood, while also introducing the fresh venture of "Space Equipment Manufacturing" and securing higher-level deals and connections with the other participants.

The upcoming gathering promised to be far more bustling than the previous two.

A smile crossed Qin Tian's face, and with a light twist of his wrist, a deep crimson Blood Spirit Bead materialized in his hand.

His Spiritual Power delved into it, immediately detecting the vast Blood Qi churning inside the bead.

Ares had gathered all the Dragon Blood from dragon hunts over the last six months, shaping them into blood orbs of differing sizes that drifted like blood-red stars within the Spiritual Pearl's inner space.

As Ares explained, this Dragon Blood was minimum Tier Four quality, with the rarest being the Essence Blood from three Tier Seven dragon kings.

Qin Tian's Spiritual Power roamed through the blood orbs, swiftly pinpointing three that radiated fearsome dragon aura.

The first orb shone with intense fiery red glow, flames seemingly blazing inside; it held the Essence Blood of the Red Dragon King.

The second appeared dark red, its Blood Qi infused with a domineering will that overwhelmed everything; this was the Blood of the Black Dragon.

The final one stood out the most, silver lightning arcs coiling over its surface—even across the Spiritual Pearl, the savage Power of Thunder within could be felt; it was Thunder Dragon Blood.

"Not bad, these three Dragon Bloods match my abilities perfectly."

The corners of Qin Tian's mouth lifted slightly; given his Physique, he could handle Dragon Blood of any type without issue, yet those aligning with his attributes would enhance his Physique more effectively and nourish his Spiritual Energy too, killing two birds with one stone.

It had been ages since he last absorbed any blood.

His Immortal Sacred Body proved so powerful that even Tier Six Dragon Blood felt useless now, offering scant improvement, though Tier Seven dragon king Essence Blood could still elevate his strength further.

Wasting no time, Qin Tian rose to his feet, a subtle spatial ripple expanded around him, and in the next instant, he vanished from the ice house.

He rematerialized atop a towering ice mountain close to the Ice Extreme Pass.

Fierce winds howled across the peak, knee-deep snow blanketed the ground, razor-sharp cold gusts slashed at the face, yet none of it diminished Qin Tian's presence.

Lifting his hand, he retrieved the Blood Spirit Bead, and with a mental command of Spiritual Power, the Thunder Dragon Blood emerged from inside, hovering before him.

This massive blood orb spanned seven or eight meters wide, silver currents snapping across its surface, releasing tremendous Life Force and ferocious Power of Thunder.

Nearby snow melted visibly under the Energy's assault, forming rivulets that cascaded down the slope and solidified at the base.

Suddenly, the Night Emperor's blood stirred within him, igniting a powerful craving.

Taking a deep breath, he parted his lips and drew in softly toward the floating blood orb.

"Buzz—"

The blood orb reacted at once, ejecting a wrist-thick blood stream that moved like a living thing straight into Qin Tian's mouth.

Upon hitting his throat, an unimaginable burning sensation surged through his body, akin to gulping down blazing thunder; the savage Energy burst forth internally.

Empowered by the Night Emperor blood, impurities were swiftly purged from the blood, its pure Life Essence refined by the Night Emperor blood into a blazing Energy torrent that coursed through limbs and bones, fortifying sinews and skeleton.

Energy enveloped the bones, producing faint tempering noises as surface patterns grew denser; muscles clenched in response, fibers pulsing under the stimulus to reveal sharper lines, every bit of flesh and bone brimming with Explosive Power; organs soaked in the Energy, each radiating robust Life Force.

Next, the thunder Energy activated.

Lightning threads traversed Qin Tian's frame, racing along the meridians to widen and reinforce them, causing no harm—instead, harmonized by the Night Emperor blood, they fused rapidly with his own Spiritual Energy.

Qin Tian shut his eyes, fully engrossed in the absorption.

Time slipped away as the peak winds raged on, but an invisible barrier enveloped him, blocking all wind, snow, and chill.

The blood orb ahead dwindled steadily, blood streams continuously pouring into his body, his aura climbing without pause.

After an unknown duration, once the final trace of Thunder Dragon Blood was absorbed, Qin Tian's eyes snapped open, purple lightning flashing in his pupils as a mighty dragon aura exploded outward.

This dragon aura flickered briefly before Qin Tian suppressed it forcefully, drawing it back inside.

Stretching his body, his joints popped softly; Physical Strength had surged notably, power raging like wild rivers—he grinned in contentment:

"Tier Six, Six Stars!"

In the past month, daily use of Ice Marrow Ointment had fueled his Cultivation, piling Spiritual Energy to the breakthrough edge; now, propelled by the potent Thunder Dragon Blood, he broke through flawlessly.

The Blood Spirit Bead still contained the red and black dragon's two caches of Tier Seven Essence Blood, yet he held off absorbing them—the priority now was solidifying his base, mastering the newfound power completely, then leveraging both Ice Marrow Ointment and Dragon Blood to surge toward greater heights.

With a flick of his fingers, Qin Tian messaged Li Qi, then settled cross-legged on the ice mountain peak, shutting his eyes to Cultivate for thirty minutes.
