Without using any elixir and any help from the system, reaching the fourth level of the Qi refining stage in three months was a big incentive for Zhao Kuo.

However, at this speed, it is still impossible for Zhao Kuo to participate in the Saga Competition in nine months.

It was only after he really came into contact with the path of cultivation that Zhao Kuo clearly understood how naïve his previous thoughts were.

One year to have the strength to participate in the World Championships? It's too ambitious, but under normal circumstances, it's already good to be able to reach the foundation building period in one year.

As for exceeding the standard, it is basically impossible unless there is an amazing chance.

"Looks like I'm going to have to use some extraordinary tricks, otherwise it's not going to be a good fit. ”

Regarding extraordinary means, Zhao Kuo immediately remembered the red bead that Zhao Linger handed over to him, and this red bead was very peculiar as Zhao Linger said. If you can find this peculiarity, maybe

Getting rid of the doubts caused by his feelings, Zhao Kuo picked up the red beads that Zhao Ling'er handed over to him to observe carefully, but he observed carefully for a while, but still found nothing.

"Probably not. Zhao Kuo pondered the peculiarities of the red bead and muttered to himself: "As far as Ling'er said, since this red bead can absorb the Xuanyin qi of the Xuanyin bead, then it means that this red bead itself should have special features of life, why does it look no different from an ordinary bead now." ”

The current red bead was lying quietly in Zhao Kuo's palm without any movement, as if it was an ordinary red bead that could not be in the ordinary.

It's just that Zhao Kuo knows that this ordinariness is just to hide its specialness.

"It's not just the system's item exchange function, is there this red bead?"

At this time, such an idea suddenly popped up in Zhao Kuo's mind. The birth of this idea directly brought Zhao Kuo's consciousness into the system.

After entering the system, Zhao Kuo did not make any stops, but directly clicked on the item exchange function in the system, trying to find the information of the red beads.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Kuo didn't see any beads similar to red beads at all, except for a dense string of zeros, let alone the relevant news of red beads.

"Isn't this red bead a rare treasure?

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but have such a question, but this question was quickly rejected by himself.

"It may also be because it is too precious, so it is not in the exchange of items in the system. ”

Regarding the possibility of these two, Zhao Kuo himself is more inclined to the latter.

"Do you want to use the phagocytosis function to determine whether it can be devoured and converted into energy value?"

At this point, Zhao Kuo made a judgment without saying a word. It's just that the result is beyond Zhao Kuo's imagination.

"I can't tell! What does that mean?"

Although Zhao Kuo had not been in contact with the phagocytosis function of the system for a long time, this was the first time he had come into contact with such an answer.

In the past, the devouring system would directly give a clear answer to the ability of devouring items to be converted into energy values, but this time, the answer is so vague.

"Do you really want to try it directly and see if you can devour it?" Zhao Kuo couldn't help but think.

It's just that this idea was finally given up by Zhao Kuo.

Assuming that this red bead can really be devoured and converted into energy value, then what is the energy value that this red bead can convert? If it is less than 1,000 energy points, it is fine, but if it is higher than 1,000 energy points, then Zhao Kuoke will lose a lot.

After all, the current system can only withstand a meagre 1,000 points of energy.

"It doesn't look like it's going to work. ”

With no way to start, Zhao Kuo could only put the red beads on the stone table next to him, ready to continue his self-cultivation.

It's just that there are not only red beads on the stone table at this time, but also a bottle of Hui Qi Pill that Zhao Kuo took out from the space ring before.

When the two touched, a strange light emanated from the red beads, and under the illumination of this light, a stream of essence was actually born from the bottle of the Huiqi Pill.

These essences were inhaled by the red beads under Zhao Kuo's gaze, and in the end, both the red beads and the bottle containing the Hui Qi Pill were restored to their original state.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Kuo picked up the red beads and the bottle containing the Returning Qi Pill at the same time with a suspicious attitude.

"No, why is this bottle so light?" Suddenly, Zhao Kuo noticed a hint of something wrong.

He opened the bottle containing the Returning Qi Pill and took a look, and found that there was no Returning Qi Pill in this bottle, it was just an empty bottle.

"This"

At this time, Zhao Kuo had a preliminary judgment on the red beads.

In order to prove whether his judgment was correct, Zhao Kuo once again took out the Qi Rejuvenation Pill from the space ring.

It's just that this time Zhao Kuo didn't take out a bottle of Hui Qi Pill, but took out a Hui Qi Pill. With Zhao Kuo's family background, he can't hook Hongzhu's overeating.

Then, Zhao Kuo put the red bead and this Hui Qi Pill together again, and the phenomenon that Zhao Kuo had witnessed before happened again.

The difference is that this time, Zhao Kuo witnessed the scene of the Hui Qi Pill turning into essence and being absorbed by the red beads.

"It seems that this red bead has a similar effect to the phagocytosis function of the system. Zhao Kuo concluded: "I just don't know what this absorbed energy is used for by this red bead?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhao Kuo's mind, this idea was very crazy, but it made Zhao Kuo feel that it was very feasible.

And Zhao Kuo is the kind of person who dares to practice, and for a while, he put his ideas into practice.

Close your eyes, feel the flow of vitality in your body, and then mobilize the vitality in your body to gather in the palm of your hand.

When the overflowing vitality came into contact with the red beads, Zhao Kuo only felt that his body was shocked, and his consciousness was blank for a few seconds.

When Zhao Kuo came back to his senses, he found that his body was actually in an endless blank space.

For the first time, Zhao Kuo thought of the possibility that this space was inside the red beads.

Moreover, the aura contained in this internal space was actually several times thicker than that of the outside world, and it was only not long after he came in that Zhao Kuo broke through to the realm of the fifth layer of the qi refining layer in one fell swoop.

"If I cultivate in this red bead space where the aura is several times more abundant than the outside world, then in the remaining nine months, I may be able to break through the foundation building period and reach the enlightenment stage. ”

As for the fusion period after the opening period, Zhao Kuo didn't think so far now, everything had to be done step by step.

"Anyway, let's break through the Qi refining period," Zhao Kuo set a short-term goal for himself.

However, at this moment, there is another question that deeply troubles Zhao Kuo.

"How do I get out of this space?"
