Chapter 251 Rune Array Frenzy
The Way of Runes is divided into nine levels, from level one to level nine, with level one being the lowest and level nine being the highest.
Shen Rugo was already able to draw level three runes, which was the highest level she could reach under the Qi Refining realm.
Of course, this is not because her rune skills are insufficient to draw higher-level runes, but because she is limited by her realm and cannot draw enough energy to inject into the runes.
In other words, Shen Rugo has the skills, but not the ability.
Even so, level three runes can fetch a high price in the Tianyuan Continent, making them quite powerful runes.
Although Shen Rugo is currently in the Qi Refining stage, after breaking through to the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, the runes she casually drew actually soared to the fifth level, which is truly astonishing.
According to the relevant information about runes, only rune masters who have reached the Golden Core realm can draw level 5 runes. This is not only a matter of skill level, but also a reflection of one's own strength.
The corresponding attack and defense power of a level 5 rune is equivalent to the Golden Core realm, or even the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm.
Shen Rugo looked at the runes she had drawn one after another, the lowest of which was level four, and she even occasionally drew a level six Divine Speed Rune.
"Although I am unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm for the time being, with my current Qi Refining level 15 strength, I am by no means inferior to the Foundation Establishment realm."
Not only can it easily draw level 4 and level 5 runes, but it also has a level 6 speed rune.
Even if I fail to establish my foundation with the help of the Heavenly Dao this time and miss this golden opportunity, I am still an unprecedented genius in the history of the Tianyuan Continent.
"It's just the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, I can just give it up!"
Shen Rugo felt much more at ease and no longer felt so aggrieved.
In a good mood, he drew several more runes.
He had already prepared a large amount of rune materials beforehand. Rune materials are not as precious as array plates, and Star Daoist purchased a lot for her.
One talisman after another appeared in Shen Ruge's mind: the Swiftness Talisman, the Vajra Talisman, the Ever-Changing Talisman, the Tranquil Mind Talisman...
There are more than ten types, covering different categories such as defense, attack, and appearance alteration.
After drawing the runes, Shen Rugo took out several array plates and began to inscribe the array.
Like runes, formations are divided into nine levels from low to high, with level one being the lowest and level nine being the highest.
With her strength greatly increased, Shen Rugo's mastery of formations also improved significantly, enabling her to create formations of level four or even level five.
In particular, the Nine Dragons Fire Formation, the most difficult formation to inscribe and the one that consumes the most mana, used to take several hours to inscribe, but now it can be inscribed casually and has reached level five.
It should be noted that the power of the level 5 Nine Dragons Fire Formation is terrifying, far surpassing that of other formations.
Shen Rugo even worried that even if she trapped a Nascent Soul cultivator in the formation, he would be reduced to ashes.
Of course, inscribing the Nine Dragons Fire Formation will consume a lot of the body's magical power.
After all, unlike runes, formations are more powerful and violent, and require more mana.
Moreover, the key to the formation lies in relying on the formation plate, which is not as simple and cheap as rune materials.
And so, two or three days passed in the blink of an eye. Even Shen Rugo herself didn't know how many runes she had drawn or how many array plates she had inscribed.
Upon closer inspection of the spiritual energy in the dantian, it was found that even with the enormous consumption, the lake of spiritual energy within the dantian did not seem to have decreased much.
"Pills are the most profitable, but it's a pity they can't be refined in this secret chamber."
Furthermore, refining elixirs requires a large quantity of medicinal herbs, unlike runes and formations.
"However, with my current Qi Refining level 15 strength, refining level 4 or even level 5 pills should be no problem for me!"
Shen Rugo silently made her plans.
In the past, the medicinal materials for refining pills were all provided by Daoist Xingchen.
Now that Daoist Xingchen has led a large group of people out, and Daoist Qinghe has been guarding the door of the secret chamber, there are naturally no medicinal materials for alchemy.
"Why has this child been in the secret chamber for so many days without coming out? How is her cultivation going? Will she be able to break through in the next couple of days?"
With seven or eight days passing and only four or five days left before the secret realm opened, Qinghe Daoist became increasingly anxious, keeping a close eye on the secret chamber.
If he weren't worried about disturbing Shen Rugo, he would have broken down the door long ago.
Just as Qinghe Daoren was extremely anxious, the door to the secret chamber opened, and Shen Rugo walked out.
"How are you, my child?"
Qinghe Daoist hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"I'm far from reaching the Great Perfection of the fifteenth level of Qi Refining. Uncle-Master, it's impossible for me to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before the secret realm opens!"
Shen Rugo spoke frankly to him.
"I can't break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"
Qinghe Daoist froze instantly, standing there stunned.
"Uncle-Master Qinghe, I have let you down. It's all my fault!"
Shen Rugo could clearly sense the disappointment of Qinghe Daoren.
"What are you saying, child! Even if you can't break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, your cultivation at the fifteenth level of Qi Refining is unprecedented. I'm overjoyed."
"It's just the Foundation Establishment stage, right? We can just give it up, skip that secret realm, and focus on cultivating your Qi Refining level 15! I'll go get you some spirit stones right now!"
Qinghe Daoist immediately realized that he had gone a bit too far.
"Uncle-Master Qinghe, don't go and get any more spirit stones! Don't waste them!"
Shen Rugo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qinghe Daoist.
Even if we use all the spirit stones, it won't help her break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, so there's no need to try again.
"Those spirit stones were earned by you, child. If they are useful to you, then use them!"
Qinghe Daoren, however, insisted on his way.
"Uncle-Master Qinghe, to be honest, even if I brought all the spirit stones, I still wouldn't be able to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. There's really no need to waste them; let's leave them for our other fellow disciples!"
"Is it really impossible to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining? I don't have enough spirit stones?"
Qinghe Daoist was taken aback again.
"There's really no way to break through!"
"Should we still go to the secret realm?"
"Of course I have to go! I must go! I absolutely must explore that secret realm."
Moreover, it is a secret realm, and traces of immortals have been left there. Perhaps there are opportunities hidden inside, or even heaven-defying cultivation resources.
"With my luck, I might find those resources once I enter the secret realm, and use that to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!"
You mean you're going to try your luck?
"Uncle Qinghe, you know I've always been lucky."
More importantly, if there really is a heaven-defying treasure in the secret realm, with my current strength and methods, I doubt anyone can compete with me for it.
Regardless of whether I can achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, as long as I can obtain great opportunities and treasures inside, I must go! You agree, right?
Shen Rugo made many preparations.
Since the Star Palace doesn't have enough resources, we can only try our luck in the secret realm.
"Alright, you can give it a try, kid."
Just as you said, if there is truly a great opportunity inside, it belongs to you.
"I'm truly sorry, our Star Palace is far too meager; we lack the resources and foundation to help you break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!"
The Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily, his tone full of regret.
"Junior Sister, you've finally emerged from seclusion?"
Just then, a shout came from afar, and in the blink of an eye, several figures came riding on swords.
