As for whether or not Tang Ao was the young master of some large faction, Lin Hucheng felt that it was unlikely. Looking at Tang Ao's style of doing things, he was more like those wandering martial artists. It had to be said that Lin Hucheng's insight was indeed unique. Tang Ao was indeed not the young master of a large faction, but a wandering martial artist. Towards Lin Hucheng's invitation, Tang Ao did not reject it after thinking for a while. Tang Ao originally wanted to find out more information. Since Lin Hucheng invited him, Tang Ao might as well go to the Lin Family's encampment.
The Lin Family's encampment was set up in a dense forest. There was a small lake in the forest, and there were many tents by the lake. These tents were surrounded by Lin Family martial artists. Tang Ao casually glanced at them. The Lin Family's strength was not bad. The family head, Lin Hucheng, and Lin Shaofeng were both at the first level of the Origin Martial Realm. Apart from these two, there were five or six martial artists at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm.
After talking with Lin Hucheng for a while, Tang Ao learned some of the mysteries of the origin crystal. Although Lin Hucheng was an old fox, this old fox clearly had some useful information. Previously, Tang Ao knew that the origin crystal contained an extremely dense essence of energy. Therefore, using it to cultivate would definitely allow one to advance at lightning speed. However, Tang Ao did not expect that martial artists could only absorb and refine an extremely small portion of the boundless essence of the origin crystal.
Also, the higher the cultivation of a martial artist, the better the effect of using the origin crystal to cultivate. On the other hand, martial artists with lower cultivation would not have much effect when using the origin crystal to cultivate. After a piece of origin crystal was consumed, the energy absorbed was even less than that of a low-grade Essence Cultivating Pill. Moreover, Tang Ao also learned of the current situation in the Blood Wasteland from Lin Hucheng. At the moment, in the Blood Wasteland, all the factions of the Flying Star Continent, big and small, had set up temporary encampments here.
Even the manor of the Flying Star Continent's number one faction, the Lu Family, had built a stronghold here. Clearly, they were preparing to mobilize a large number of martial artists to this place. As more and more martial artists poured in, the origin crystals that were easy to obtain at the beginning had become scarce. A portion of these Yuan Crystals were used by the warriors who had arrived first to cultivate, while the rest were hoarded by some big forces and merchants.
After all, no matter how vast the Scarlet Wasteland was, no matter how many black fog monsters there were, there would still be an end. Once all the black fog monsters were killed, the crystals would be gone. Therefore, while plundering Origin Crystals, many forces had already begun to hoard Origin Crystals. The significance of the Essence Crystal was somewhat similar to the Essence Augmenting Pill, but the Essence Augmenting Pill was an elixir refined from Spirit Grasses. Spirit materials could be cultivated by humans, and they would continuously reproduce in the wild.
Therefore, in theory, as long as there were alchemists, there would be an endless supply of Essence Cultivating Pills. However, Essence Crystals were different. Every time a Essence Crystal was used, there would be one less. Once it was used up, there would be no more. In the beginning, crystals and mid-grade Essence Augmenting Pills were equivalent. A mid-grade Essence Augmenting Pill could be exchanged for one crystal. However, as more and more martial artists poured into the Scarlet Wasteland, the price of Essence Crystals rose higher and higher.
Now, a piece of Essence Crystal could be sold for the price of ten mid-grade Essence Augmenting Pills. Moreover, on some black markets, it had already reached the price of fifteen mid-grade Essence Augmenting Pills for one crystal. This made Tang Ao feel somewhat helpless. As the first martial artist to enter the Scarlet Wasteland, up until now, Tang Ao did not have more than ten Essence Crystals on him!
