Aiolos smiled and shook his head. "You're thinking too much. I'm now a slave gladiator."
"Damn, you're really optimistic. In any case, I don't want to die, and I still have a lot of good times ahead of me. Is the information you asked me to find reliable?"
Compared to Earthlings, his life as a silver Titan was slightly better. As he had performed very well recently, his family seemed to have changed their views and wanted to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. Thus, Tsari's life was slightly more relaxed, but only slightly.
"That's my second brother. As long as I find him, there will definitely be a way," said Aiolos with a smile. His tone was filled with confidence.
Tsarilorhuan rolled his eyes. This was the first time he felt that Aiolos was rather good at boasting. If he did not know better, he would think that the humans were a level-8 civilization.
Wang Zhong … This name sounded rather unsophisticated. Who knew if he would starve to death in the divine territory?
When he returned to the mushroom house, Jhonas had mixed feelings. He wanted to properly endure these few years in the Heavenly Gates and happily inherit his family business. He wanted to be a second-generation Illusion who enjoyed life and chose the worst roommate, a Boss who had never seen the world. He had a small appetite and was loyal. Everything was going according to the script.
However, the situation seemed to be slightly different. This Earthling, who did not seem eye-catching, seemed to have many secrets.
Why was the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince so proactive? Why did the Machinery race, which had always been xenophobic, invite him?
One was a coincidence, but there was a problem if it happened one after another.
Along the way, the Flying Pig naturally made all sorts of indirect inquiries. He wanted to find out about Lao Wang's so-called 'true background'. However, firstly, Lao Wang did not have any 'true background' to tell him. Secondly, what kind of person was Lao Wang? If one wanted to get information out of him, one would be considered rather alert if one did not fall into his trap.
He kicked the chattering Jhonas onto the bed opposite him. Then, Lao Wang impatiently started to study the prescription that Celeste had given him.
Wang Zhong was not particularly unfamiliar with the Vitality Supplement Pill.
When he had watched Boss Sea refine pills, among the few prescriptions that Boss Sea knew, the most important one was the Vitality Supplement Pill.
Wang Zhong had also seen Boss Sea's prescription. It was rather crude, and the success rate was very low. There was a certain difference from the version of the prescription that Celeste had given him, but the main ingredients were the same. In reality, according to the characteristics of each alchemist, there would be some adaptability and experience adjustments to the pill formula. Ten alchemists might have ten different versions of the same Origin Supplement Pill, but most of them would only have some minor adjustments, and the main body would not change.
Previously, he had the experience of seeing Boss Sea refine this Vitality Supplement Pill. Furthermore, he had been enlightened and guided by Elder Yimo during his two pill lessons. Furthermore, he had compared different versions of the pill recipe. Very quickly, Wang Zhong had a clear understanding of the Vitality Supplement Pill. He felt that it was feasible, and he had 40% to 50% confidence in it. Of course, for someone who had never refined pills before, this kind of confidence might just be an illusion, but no matter what, this kind of confidence was enough to give it a try.
What he lacked now were ingredients.
Although it was only a level-9 pill, there were many ingredients listed, and it was even more complicated than the level-7 pill that he had collected previously. There were only nine main ingredients, but there were over 40 supplementary ingredients in Celeste's prescription. None of them were particularly expensive. For example, the Loying Fruit that Lao Wang was more familiar with was also listed. However, there were many trivial and complicated ingredients, and the quantity required was not small. Even though these ingredients could be directly bought in the Heavenly Gates, it was obvious that Lao Wang could not afford to buy them directly.
When he saw Lao Wang staring at the ingredients with a worried expression, Jhonas, who had been holding back for a long time, finally could not hold it in and spoke first. "Boss, it's not that I'm not taking the initiative to help you. If we collect everything, I'm afraid that it will be slightly expensive. I spent a lot of money to buy a messenger … Pill refinery is really not something that an ordinary person can do. Take you for example, learning this level-9 pill. Who knows how many ingredients you will need …"
Even though he had collected all the ingredients for the level-7 pill, they were defective goods that he had obtained from acquaintances. The Illusion race still had many friends in the business world. However, friends were friends. They could throw some trash that they did not want to him, but they would definitely not give him good items that were truly used for pill refinery for free.
The motto of the Illusion race was that even blood brothers had to settle their debts clearly. Giving him gifts? That did not exist.
It was not a problem for him to help him once or twice as he would be considered an investment. However, what about eight or ten times? Jhonas did not plan to raise a rookie alchemist. Furthermore, he was afraid that Wang Zhong would develop the habit of being given everything he needed.
However, Flying Pig was obviously thinking too much. Lao Wang would not go that far. Elder Yimo was right. If you did not have money, don't play with this. No matter how talented you were, the most basic thing about pill refinery was still the same sentence: "You need money".
"You seem to have friends in the spiritual medicine market, right? Can you get some of those discarded ingredients from before? "Lao Wang did not listen to his chatter and went straight to the main topic.
Jhonas was dumbfounded. "That's not a problem … But that's meaningless. Boss, you won't even be able to refine dregs of those things …"
"I'm just practicing. It doesn't matter if I can't form pills." Wang Zhong laughed. "I just want to try. If not, I won't be satisfied. You should have bought those discarded ingredients, right? I'll pay for the cost. "
"…" He had already said this much. Jhonas felt that if he did not take the initiative, he would be too ungrateful. Furthermore, he was just looking for a friend to buy some discarded ingredients. The price was very low and was not a big deal.
"Boss, look at what you're saying. There's no need to worry about money between us brothers. Leave this to me." Jhonas patted his chest and said, "Give me a few days. I'll definitely get everything for you."
The reason why he had to delay for a few days was that he had lessons in the Weapon Repair Hall the next day. Jhonas did not dare to be absent.
Other than continuing to practice the Devouring Heaven Technique, he continued to study the prescription and ponder over the various pharmacological combinations. When it came to pill refinery, it would only take half a day to a day. The truly complicated and trivial matters were still in the preparation stage. Not only did he need to consider the ingredients, but the more he understood the entire pill refinery process and the direction of his goal, the higher his success rate would be. Sharpening a knife would not delay the work of cutting firewood. Preparations before pill refinery were the most important.
Thus, he rested for a day. Then, the Combat Cultivation Hall lessons quickly followed.
There were more frequent lessons here. When he looked at the timetable given by the Heavenly Gates messenger, there would be Combat Cultivation Hall lessons for the next few days. This was his main lesson. Regardless of whether Lao Wang was interested, he had to attend. If not, if he missed a few lessons, his initial 50 points would be deducted, and he would be expelled by the Heavenly Gates.
Unlike the previous lesson, where he had asked everyone to go home and look through the basic principles, it was as if the sun had risen from the west today. The Titan supervisor started to talk about the Spirit Explosion Technique in a serious manner.
This was an attack technique that was somewhere between body techniques, goblin techniques, and thunder techniques. It was rather special.
When he heard this, Lao Wang was rather interested. However, when the Titan supervisor finished speaking … Lao Wang was speechless.
Simply put, the so-called Spirit Explosion Technique was to gather spiritual power in an instant. Then, through a few small techniques in the circulation of spiritual power, one could instantly unleash an attack that was several times stronger. When he looked at the intoxicated expressions of the people around him, Lao Wang was slightly dumbfounded. What was this?!
This was something that Earthlings had played around with too much. Wasn't it just a simple use of spiritual power? Compared to his 3rd Drive, it was still lacking in the ingenuity of the use of techniques. However, it was specially explained as the main point of the Combat Cultivation Hall lessons. Many Combat Cultivation students around him furrowed their eyebrows and looked as if they could not understand this. Damn … Were these people idiots?
At first, he was shocked, but it slowly turned into astonishment. When he confirmed that no one around him was pretending, Lao Wang's heart was as calm as water.
He more or less understood. 26 top-notch civilizations had established the divine territory, but in the following tens of thousands of years, the high-leveled civilizations had lost the urgency to survive and were in a process of 'degeneration'. This degeneration did not mean that they did not seek to improve, but that their direction had changed.
They did not have opponents, did not have the pressure to survive, and did not even have frequent battles. They wholeheartedly pursued the path of the Gold Core and pursued ascension. Accumulating one's Core was what everyone in the divine territory yearned for. Battles? They only needed to use their power to suppress them. The levels of the civilizations in the lower worlds were too far apart from them and could not make them feel any threat at all.
Looking at many aristocrats in the divine territory, even though they were powerful and had a high realm, this advantage was innate. They basically did not have any actual combat power, nor did they have much experience in cruel battles.
Thus, once low-leveled civilizations overcame the barrier of spiritual influence affinity, their power would be completely different. Of course, to low-leveled civilizations, this was the greatest difficulty. He had relied on the help of his divine cells and the fragment world to quickly rise. This was not universal to low-leveled civilizations and did not even have any value as a reference …
Lao Wang was slightly absent-minded as he listened. This was probably the only lesson that he had been absent-minded since he entered the Heavenly Gates.
Meanwhile, the other Combat Cultivation students around him listened as if they were intoxicated. Of course, they understood the simple accumulation of spiritual power, but how to form their own killing moves and how to use some small techniques with spiritual power to form their own killing moves required a process. In particular, these kinds of moves could be practiced with their transformed bodies. Once these small techniques became instinctive in their current physical bodies, they would be even more terrifying when they transformed into their Void Core true forms. That would be another realm of using spiritual power.
The lesson did not last very long. After all, it was just a simple theory. However, it only lasted for about half an hour.
When he finished speaking, Tsargesimon stretched out his hands and stretched his body, as if he had finally completed his mission. Closely after, his rigid face when he was teaching became lively.
"The lesson is too boring." He laughed heartily and said, "For Combat Cultivation, no matter how much theory we talk about, it is not as useful as using real weapons. How about this? We will find two people to demonstrate how to use the Spirit Explosion Technique. Those who perform well will have extra points, and those who don't will have points deducted. Who is willing to volunteer?"
No one made a sound. When they saw Tsargesimon's smiling expression, they knew that this was definitely not a good thing. Furthermore, demonstrating how to use the Spirit Explosion Technique? He had just finished teaching, and he simply wanted people to demonstrate. Wasn't this a joke …
"No one will volunteer? Then, I will call out names. " Obviously, this was the effect that Tsargesimon wanted. He waved his large hand and pointed at the crowd. "The first one will naturally be the person who performed first in the previous lesson. Wang Zhong, come up!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Closely after, they laughed. How inexperienced. This was the price of being in the limelight!
"Damn, they are tearing each other apart at the slightest disagreement …" Outside, Jhonas shrank his neck. He had attended every Combat Cultivation Hall lesson, but it was not entirely because he wanted to see Wang Zhong. He thought that if he was ranked last in the Weapon Cultivation Hall, he would still be staying in the Heavenly Gates if he retreated to the Combat Cultivation Hall. No matter what he did, it was a tradition of the Illusion race to think of a way out for himself. However, every time he came to the Combat Cultivation Hall, Jhonas would feel a pain in the ass. He did not want to face this kind of supervisor.
Lao Wang was also dumbfounded. He was going to cause trouble, but this was obviously in line with Tsargesimon's style. If he did not cause trouble, he would be embarrassed to say that he was a perverted supervisor in the Combat Cultivation Hall.
However, he was only dumbfounded for a moment. Without any hesitation, he calmly and leisurely walked up. He was not ostentatious, but if he wanted to establish himself in the Combat Cultivation Hall and even fight for a place in the Pill Refinery Hall, he had to perform well. Regardless of whether there were mocking voices or clamoring voices, they would slowly disappear as he fought.
"In the Heavenly Gates, you have to use your full strength when sparring. Don't be afraid of death. With me here, it will not be easy for you to die." Tsargesimon did not specify a second person. Instead, he charged at the aura of this fellow on the stage that was filled with hatred. The moment he came up, a large number of eyes below were bloodshot. Was there a need for him to specify someone? "Who wants to try? The victor will be rewarded with one point. "
Buzzing noises sounded from below. There were many people who did not like Wang Zhong and wanted to teach him a lesson. Now, he was even rewarded with one point. Although it was only one point, it was still something no matter how small it was. There were a few peak experts, such as bone goblin Pavaro, Blood Demon Balor, Ghost Gorst, and the others, who might have to maintain their status, but there were even more people who were eager to try.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
"Watch me beat up this deceitful pretty boy!"
"Damn, this fellow stole the sign of the Blood Demon race two days ago!"
Roars immediately sounded from below. However, roars were not as fast as actions. Without saying anything else, a figure suddenly charged up from the eager crowd. However, a green figure flashed, and this person was already standing on the stage.
This was a goblin who had transformed. He was abnormally thin, and his face was like a wooden board that was rigid and stiff. His hands were long and thin, and there was a cold light at the back of his hands. He looked extremely like the hand blades of a mantis.
The speed at which he went up the stage was extremely fast. When the green figure charged up the stage, many people's eyes could not follow him. The spiritual power on his body was still surging, and there were obvious signs of the Spirit Explosion Technique. Frankly speaking, the Spirit Explosion Technique was a method of using spiritual power. It could be used to attack or to increase one's speed. After listening to Titan supervisor Tsargesimon's explanation, he immediately understood the trick to using the Spirit Explosion Technique. Furthermore, he could use it to increase one's speed. With the comprehension abilities of these Combat Cultivation pupils, he was considered extremely good.
Even though he had transformed into a human, he still had four limbs on the ground. His two extremely long blade arms were placed on the ground, causing the ground to rustle and sparks to fly.
"Shadowsickle Cook."
"It's this fellow … Sigh, he was one step ahead of us. We probably won't have the chance to attack."
Some of the Combat Cultivation pupils had already shouted his name. He had just advanced to the Void Core Realm. Frankly speaking, his Spiritual Energy Value was not very high. Wang Zhong estimated that it was around 200,000, which was similar to Yin Jiao's level. However, his movement speed was extremely fast. When his two blade arms crossed and waved, many people present could only see a faint afterimage. He was definitely an attack type.
The restless crowd around him became much quieter. As a member of the goblin race, the mantis race was not considered a large and flourishing race among the goblin race. He had just advanced to the Void Core Realm and was able to enter the ranks of the Heavenly Gates. Naturally, he had his own unique skills. Shadowsickle Cook's combat characteristics could be seen from his name. This kind of speed type was definitely an opponent that most people did not want to face. Those who were weaker than him had no chance at all. Meanwhile, even those who were stronger than him would be passive in front of his terrifying speed as long as they were not strong enough to crush him.
Shadowsickle Cook did not speak much. After he came up, he did not say a single word. His blade arm simply moved slightly as a greeting. Closely after, his body swayed like an afterimage and turned into a green light that rapidly shot towards Wang Zhong.
Zeng!
With a crisp sound, the green figure flashed past Wang Zhong like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had already stopped a few meters behind Wang Zhong. Two sparkling and translucent drops of blood gently slid down his two blade-like arms and dripped onto the ground.
"He settled it in an instant." Someone below scoffed. "This Earthling only knows how to play tricks. He did not even have the chance to react in a head-on battle!"
"Did he get cut off? Look at how he did not move at all. "
"I was actually killed by such a weakling that day? How embarrassing … "
"He got one point. It was too easy for Shadowsickle Cook to earn this point."
The discussions around him were filled with disdain and mockery. However, just as these buzzing sounds started, they suddenly stopped.
More drops of blood flowed down from Shadowsickle Cook's blade arms. Closely after, there was a cracking sound that sounded like hard bones breaking. His two blade arms broke in the middle.
Boom!
Then, he fell to the ground. The mantis goblin, who had been putting on an extremely elegant pose, did not even have the time to reveal his goblin body before he fell to the ground and fainted.
Lao Wang slowly turned around and looked at the fallen Shadowsickle Cook. His expression was cold and calm, as if nothing had happened at all.
He was slightly disappointed. The oppressive feeling that came from his speed was only felt by the Combat Cultivation Hall members. However, to Lao Wang, who had lived on the edge of a blade every day, this speed was meaningless. This was because from the moment Shadowsickle took his first step, Lao Wang had already predicted all of his movements. To be honest, Lao Wang had held back a few times, but this idiot had directly slashed at him. Damn it.
What was the use of just being fast? What about the technical content? Lao Wang had a headache.
This was not entirely because of the difference between the combat techniques in the divine territory and the lower worlds. Speaking of which, even though the so-called geniuses present had high realms, that was only because their starting point was high. How long had they truly come into contact with cultivation?
Lao Wang felt slightly lonely …
