I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

Qin Tian gently lifted the lid of the first box, and in an instant, a rich scent of life, like a spring breeze, wafted towards him, causing all the pores on his body to involuntarily open.
Inside the box lay a fist-sized, emerald-green crystal, completely translucent, with what appeared to be liquid green light slowly flowing within it. The surface of the crystal was covered with naturally formed profound patterns, each seeming to contain the essence of life.
Most miraculously, the crystal pulsed rhythmically like a living thing, each beat emitting a refreshing aura that invigorated the spirit.
At this moment, Jiela on Qin Tian's wrist became incredibly excited and restless, eager to pounce on the green crystal and swallow it. Qin Tian quickly stopped Jiela, telling her to calm down.
"It's called the Heart of Wood Marrow."
Oriental Ke's voice suddenly became solemn: "This item is extracted from the heart essence of the 'Taiyi Azure Profound Tree,' one of the Oriental Family's five sacred trees. Only one can condense every thousand years. Even my Oriental Family only has three in stock."
Qin Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and his hands holding the wooden box unconsciously tightened. He could clearly feel that the life energy contained within the item in the box was a hundred times purer than any heavenly material or earthly treasure he had ever seen!
"When the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine breaks through to the seventh rank, it will encounter the Heavenly Plant Tribulation," Oriental Ke said, looking at the vine on Qin Tian's wrist. "At that time, feeding this item to it can help it safely pass the tribulation, and its origin and foundation will undergo earth-shattering changes.
Previously, the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine's racial limit was the eighth rank, but after consuming the Heart of Wood Marrow, breaking through to the ninth rank is no longer a luxury."
Heavenly Plant Tribulation~
Qin Tian's eyes flashed. He had seen on StarNet that when a sixth-rank Spiritual Energy User breaks through to the seventh rank, they face an unprecedented trial—the Heavenly Human Three Tribulations: Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, Body Incineration Tribulation, and Inner Demon Tribulation. Legend has it that these are calamities set by the will of the universe to limit the number of powerful individuals.
With each tribulation passed, the Spiritual Energy User's strength would significantly increase. Only by passing all three tribulations could one become a true seventh-rank Spiritual Energy User, but according to statistics, about seventy percent of people fell during the three tribulations, resulting in a very high mortality rate.
Therefore, many sixth-rank nine-star Spiritual Energy Users, for their own safety, chose to deliberately suppress their strength and never touch the Heavenly Human Three Tribulations.
And spiritual plants like Jiela, or spiritual beasts, also have similar seventh-rank trials.

If the Heart of Wood Marrow can help Jiela successfully pass the Heavenly Plant Tribulation, are there also some methods that can help sixth-rank Spiritual Energy Users pass the Heavenly Human Three Tribulations?
Qin Tian thought to himself.
Getting back to the main topic, the value of the Heart of Wood Marrow is self-evident. Besides helping to pass the Heavenly Plant Tribulation, it can also raise Jiela's racial limit. For Qin Tian,
He currently doesn't lack any elixirs or spiritual artifacts, because these can all be exchanged with military merit points. However, the Heart of Wood Marrow comes from the Oriental Family's sacred tree, the Taiyi Azure Profound Tree, and it's simply impossible for it to circulate externally, which is what truly highlights the preciousness of the gift.
"Open the second box and take a look," Oriental Ke said.
Qin Tian took a deep breath and slowly lifted the lid of the second box.
Inside the box lay a crystal clear glass bottle, with faint silver patterns flowing on its body, as if sealing some ancient power.
And in the bottle, there was a deep, star-like liquid—it wasn't purely red, but presented a strange dark silver color, with countless tiny starlights flickering within, sometimes condensing into a dragon shape, and sometimes dispersing into a galaxy, as if possessing its own life.
Just by looking at it, Qin Tian felt the surrounding air slightly warp, and space seemed to subtly tremble. Even more bizarrely, when he tried to probe with his spiritual power, he found his perception sinking like a mud ox into the sea, silently and completely devoured by that liquid.
"This is..." Qin Tian's voice unconsciously lowered, as if afraid of disturbing the contents of the bottle.
Oriental Ke's gaze deepened, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his aged face: "The essence blood of a ninth-rank Void Dragon."
He slowly said, "Three hundred years ago, three Grand Elders of my Oriental Family jointly besieged a Void Dragon that was wreaking havoc in the starfield. They finally killed it at the cost of one death and two severe injuries."
His finger gently caressed the crystal bottle, and the liquid inside seemed to sense something, suddenly churning violently, with a faint roar like a dragon's cry.
Oriental Ke looked at Qin Tian meaningfully: "This essence blood should be of great benefit to you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's eyes flashed. It seemed the Oriental Family already knew about his Night Demon Bloodline.
He wasn't too surprised by this.
His Night Demon Bloodline was known not only to Yan Qing and Li Qi, but also to the members of the Hurricane Mercenary Group. Given the Oriental Family's intelligence capabilities, it was normal for them to discover his Night Demon Bloodline.
In fact, the Night Demon Bloodline was his openly displayed card, because it was an unprecedented bloodline, and no one knew its specific abilities. Any future strange phenomena he exhibited could be attributed to the Night Demon Bloodline.
The essence blood of a ninth-rank Void Dragon not only contains the immense vitality of a ninth-rank dragon but also carries powerful spatial energy. After consuming it, the colors of the three talent light orbs—【Night Demon King】, 【Great Wilderness Battle Body】, and 【Gate of Black Sky】—will definitely deepen.
【Gate of Black Sky】 is very likely to reach its purple limit in one go.
However, he didn't plan to keep this essence blood all to himself; half would be for him, and half for Kha'Zix.
Now that Jiela had broken through to the sixth rank, as long as she absorbed enough energy and reached the peak of the sixth rank, she would be able to consume the Heart of Wood Marrow and successfully advance to the seventh rank.
In contrast, Kha'Zix, who was only a mere fourth-rank, was undoubtedly too far behind.
Kha'Zix's talent was actually very good; he could draw power from blood and awaken corresponding abilities. He hoped that after Kha'Zix absorbed the Void Dragon's essence blood, he would develop towards becoming a void creature.
In the future, he would become a true "Void Reaver."
"Elder Oriental Ke, thank you for these two grand gifts prepared by the Oriental Family for me."
Qin Tian cupped his fists and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Oriental Ke smiled: "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve."
If Qin Tian hadn't turned the tide, helping the sixteen geniuses slay powerful enemies and safely escape, then the Oriental Family would not only be unable to account to those bloodline ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) families, but their family's reputation and prestige would also suffer a severe blow.
The series of chain reactions that would follow would cause the Oriental Family to suffer unpredictable consequences, with losses far exceeding the combined value of the Heart of Wood Marrow and the Void Dragon's essence blood.
Therefore, in this matter, the Oriental Family had actually benefited from Qin Tian.
It was precisely because of this that he allowed the Immortal Platform Spirit Tree to bestow a Marrow Cleansing Fruit upon Qin Tian, and was willing to exchange three Silver-tier cultivation techniques for a branch of the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine.
These were all considered additional compensation for Qin Tian, and also an early investment in him.
If Qin Tian could truly shine by Lin Shuai's side in the future, the Oriental Family would continue to increase their stakes.
This was the way of survival and development for great families.
