"Are you certain?"

"Yes, sir, I'm certain. I'll head to the Elf Star."

Qin Tian nodded firmly.

The journey from the Azure Wood Star Realm to the Central Star Realm will take several months, during which he would have to stay on the spaceship and wait for someone else to save him.

In contrast, while the uncertainty on the Elf Star is high, the internal conflict there presents an opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters and gather Evolution Points. Even if he can't enter Silver Moon Lake in the end, he can still counter the Curse of the Evil God by enhancing his talents.

Destiny should be in one's own hands.

"Alright, I actually guessed you would choose the second option."

Yan Qing smiled helplessly, "You seem calm and cautious, but deep down you have an adventurous spirit."

"The Elf Race is constantly recruiting outside help, but they are very resistant to Royal Soldiers. If you're going to the Elf Star, you'll need a new identity. I can arrange that for you. Meanwhile, you should either take the Azure Wood Life Pill or exchange material with Military Merit Points to recover your strength to a certain level before setting out."

Qin Tian bowed slightly, "Thank you, sir, for your trouble."

......

After Yan Qing left, Qin Tian opened the sealed box, revealing a porcelain bottle and a piece of flawless beautiful jade.

Qin Tian first picked up the Ice Extreme Soul-Protecting Jade, placed it in his palm, and felt its coolness. The Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice Jade, though cool, did not emit cold due to special processing.

He wore the Ice Extreme Soul-Protecting Jade on his chest, replacing the previous Ice Condensed Divine Jade, and followed Yan Qing's instructions to infuse it with a stream of Spiritual Power.

Buzz~~

The Soul-Protecting Jade suddenly emanated a blue light, and a soul-penetrating chill made Qin Tian shiver involuntarily.

Pure Soul Power poured out like liquid moonlight, rushing from his chest straight to the Sea of Souls.

As the swirling black mist of the soul touched this force, the entire space froze—Soul Power turned into ice-crystal blades ripping through the void, with frosty patterns on the blades glowing with an eerie blue phosphorescence. Each slash branded searing black marks onto the mist.

Qin Tian's temples throbbed, clearly seeing the outline of his soul trembling.

The muddled mental pollution was shredded into powder by the cold blades, turning into specks of starlight merging into his brow.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Soul Power condensed into a rotating star cloud. The brilliant light bands wrapped around the soul like chains, repelling the invasive black mist with every cycle.

His mind cleared up, and the muddled feeling finally dissipated.

With a thought, Qin Tian opened a small Black Gate before him.

"Phew, finally liberated."

Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief; under the soul pollution, he almost couldn't control his superpower, and mobilizing Spiritual Energy was extremely difficult. Although he hasn't returned to his optimal state, at least he can now use his superpower and Spiritual Energy.

He opened the porcelain bottle, pouring the elixir into his hand.

Upon opening the jade bottle containing the Azure Wood Life Pill, a rich and refreshing fragrance immediately filled the air, akin to the first breeze of a spring morning, carrying floral and earthy scents that refreshed the spirit, as if one were in a vibrant forest.

The elixir had a deep and rich emerald green hue. Upon close observation, faint golden patterns could be seen shimmering on the pill, like flowing golden liquid, adding a dynamic and mysterious touch to the elixir.

As the Azure Wood Life Pill entered his mouth, Qin Tian felt a refreshing green force traveling down his throat into his Dantian, like spring thunder splitting frozen earth, awakening dormant vitality instantly.

The thorn-like demon patterns on his chest twisted violently, with the dark patterns seeping out purplish-black blood beads, colliding with the green torrent of the elixir in his meridians with a roar.

The demon pattern's burning pain made Qin Tian curl up, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms.

Yet at the same time, the green energy nourished the parched meridians like spring rain moistening dry earth, and the organs ravaged by the Curse of the Evil God began healing at an observable rate.

His skin started to glow with a pearly lustre, and his previously pale lips regained a vibrant blush.

The bones crackled like popping beans, with every inch of muscle greedily absorbing the medicinal power.

Qin Tian pulled open his collar, seeing the demon patterns retracting into fine black strands under the enveloping green light, refusing to leave the area above his heart. With each breath, the demon patterns would intermittently fade into the skin and then reappear as faint shadows, as if in a tug-of-war with the pill's power.

Formidable power seemed to awaken, boiling within his body, with Dark Spiritual Energy uncontrollably oozing out, forming a pitch-black domain around Qin Tian.

The Curse of the Evil God was stifled, and Qin Tian finally experienced the physical changes brought by the Night Demon King Bloodline awakening—a complete bodily transformation and all-encompassing control over the darkness.

Qin Tian felt that the Azure Wood Life Pill's effects were only partially released, while vast vitality remained hidden inside, contending continuously with the Power of Curse.

"This top-tier elixir really is impressive," Qin Tian couldn't help but admire. The Azure Wood Life Pill solved his immediate crisis, its immense Life Force suppressing the curse's erosion, allowing his frail body to regain strength.

With the Ice Extreme Soul-Protecting Jade and the Azure Wood Life Pill, his combat power was liberated by about thirty percent.

Even though it was only thirty percent, remember the Night Demon King Bloodline awakening provided a comprehensive evolution, meaning this thirty percent could be stronger than before his injury.

However, he could sense an unusual balance between the Power of Curse and the two great treasures. If energy manipulation became too frequent or intense, it might disrupt this balance, deepening the curse's power.

So once he reached the Elf Star, he had to remain cautious, avoiding engagement, and strike decisively to avoid prolonged battles.

Qin Tian glanced at his military department's personal interface, not yet receiving the 1.5 million Military Merit Points or notice of rank promotion, but he wasn't worried. Since Yan Qing delivered the message personally, it was already assured, possibly just delayed a few days.

Sure enough, the next day, Qin Tian noticed the appearance of 1.5 million Military Merit Points in his personal interface, and his rank changed from Major to Colonel.

In the army, Colonel corresponds to a regiment or vice division level officer, already considered a high position.

With Military Merit Points credited, Qin Tian began to seriously browse the military treasury of the Silver Gray Star and even the Azure Wood Star Realm.

He wanted to find other resources to minimize the Power of Curse's influence while preparing for his journey to the Elf Star.

Elixirs, Treasure Materials, Cultivation Techniques, Treasure Artifacts...

Qin Tian spent three days browsing through the Azure Wood Star Realm's treasury, not only conducting his own research but also consulting many people, such as Yan Qing, Zhang Meng, and several friends from the Earth Dragon Team.

Finally, he confirmed the exchange plan.
