Gugugugu!
Pure spiritual energy flowed into Zhang Xuan's body through his acupoints, and as though a hundred streams converging into the ocean, it gushed into his dantian. Driving the Transcendent Mortal 2-dan Heaven's Path Divine Art, Zhang Xuan remained calm, and his aura rose steadily.
Origin Energy realm primary stage!
Origin Energy realm intermediate stage!
...
If others were to see him cultivating in such a state, they would surely go berserk.
The cultivation that they had spent years or even decades in order to raise was as easy as eating or drinking before him. There wasn't the slightest pressure or hindrance to him.
...
In a luxurious residence in Myriad Kingdom City, a young man paced back and forth in front of the courtyard with an anxious look on his face.
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would surely be able to recognize him as the tycoon who often bought items from him, Song Chao.
"When will elder come out from his seclusion?"
After pacing around the residence for a while, Song Chao couldn't help but ask the guard standing outside.
"I'm not too sure either. After meeting Song shi previously, elder went into seclusion and hasn't come out yet!" the guard replied.
"Alright then..."
After returning from the herb garden, he brought the grade-7 Metal Coffin here, only to find out that the elder was still in seclusion. Left with no choice, he could only wait for several days. Yet, who knew that the elder wouldn't come out even after several days?
He knew that the elder must have been too engrossed in studying the Soulless Metal Humanoid after obtaining it.
"Forget it, I'll return first. I'll come back another time!"
Knowing that he couldn't force his way in if the other party didn't come out of seclusion, Zhang Xuan could only shake his head and leave. However, barely after taking a few steps, 'jiya!', the door behind him opened.
"Haha!"
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw the elder walking out with a smile.
Stepping forward, the elder clasped his fist and bowed. "Paying respects to Elder Hu!"
"You came at a good time. This Soulless Metal Humanoid is indeed not bad. After studying it for several days, I have benefited greatly from it! If I can reach Consonant Spirit realm through it, I'll surely thank you for your help. "
Elder Hu stroked his beard and smiled.
Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm and 4-dan Consonant Spirit realm was a huge hurdle.
He had been stuck at the pinnacle of the fourth layer for many years. He had always wanted to make a breakthrough, but to no avail. Some time ago, this Martial Soul Golden Humanoid that Song Chao sent over was immediately studied as a treasure.
The Soulless Metal Humanoid was the personal guard of the ancient soul oracles. Even though Zhang Xuan was still unable to decipher how the Soulless Metal Humanoid was formed over the past few days, he had gained a deeper understanding of the soul. This would be of great help to him in his future breakthrough to Consonant Spirit realm.
"Elder, you're exaggerating. As long as this thing is useful, it's worth it …" Song Chao quickly nodded.
"En!" Hearing his humble words, Elder Hu nodded his head in satisfaction. "Why are you looking for me so anxiously? Did something happen?"
Even though he was in seclusion, this fellow came almost every day, so he still knew a thing or two about it.
Song Chao hurriedly nodded his head. "I met the person who sold me the Soulless Metal Humanoid a few days ago. This time, he happened to have a Level 7 Adamantine coffin that was specially used to store metal humanoids. I thought that it might be useful for Elder's research... so I bought it!"
"Seventh-grade Fine Gold Coffin? A coffin specially forged by a soul oracle for the Soulless Metal Humanoid? Where is it? Quick, let me take a look! "
Elder Hu's eyes lit up, and his breathing hastened.
Due to his inability to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, he had turned his attention to the study of the soul oracles. Through his years of research, he had learned quite a bit, and he understood the importance of this coffin.
If he had obtained this item earlier, he would have surely improved by leaps and bounds. Even if he was unable to reach Consonant Spirit realm, he would at least be able to strengthen his soul.
"Yes!" With a flick of his wrist, a massive coffin appeared before him.
It was the one that Zhang Xuan had sold to him for a middle-tier spirit stone back in the herb garden.
"To think that it would be a perfectly preserved grade-7 Adamantine coffin …" Seeing the various inscriptions inscribed on the coffin, Elder Hu's eyes lit up.
This kind of coffin was specially forged by a blacksmith for a Soulless Metal Humanoid. It could preserve the Soulless Metal Humanoid for tens of thousands of years, and its value was immeasurable.
"Based on the introduction of the seller, this coffin is the one used to store the Soulless Metal Humanoid!"
Song Chao continued.
"Oh …"
Elder Hu nodded his head. Walking around the coffin, he raised his head and asked, "The person who sold you these two items … Where is he now? Did you ask him where he obtained these items from? "
"That … I didn't ask!" Song Chao shook his head.
Every time they met, he would be rendered completely helpless by the Impartation of Heaven's Will. He would only know how to fork out money obediently, so how could he ask?
"You didn't ask?" Elder Hu frowned.
"Even though I didn't ask him about this, I know that he has three more Soulless Metal Humanoids and at least three grade-7 Adamantine coffins in his possession. In fact … he might even have a higher tier … Crimson Metal Coffin!"
Recalling the words of the young man that day, Song Chao hurriedly replied.
"You are talking about the Crimson Gold Coffin that is used to store the physical body of a soul oracle? Even a Transcendent Mortal pinnacle expert is unable to open it, the Crimson Gold Coffin?"
Elder Hu's breathing hastened as his eyes glowed in excitement.
A grade-7 Adamantine coffin was only used to store the Soulless Metal Humanoid. On the other hand, the Crimson Metal Coffin was the most important possession of a soul oracle. Even though they were both coffins, the value of the Crimson Metal Coffin was far greater than that of the Soulless Metal Humanoid!
That fellow actually had such a treasure?
"Yes!" Song Chao nodded his head.
"That's great! Where is he? Is he willing to sell this Crimson Metal Coffin? Have you bought it yet? "
Elder Hu asked anxiously.
"This … he said that he was willing to sell the Crimson Metal Coffin, but … I don't have enough money on me, so I can't afford it. Let's not talk about other things, just this seventh-grade Fine Gold coffin costs an entire mid-grade spirit stone … "
Song Chao said.
"The grade-7 Adamantine coffin is forged by a 4-star blacksmith, and it can preserve the Soulless Metal Humanoids for ten thousand years. Not only is a middle-tier spirit stone not expensive, it's actually very cheap! Not bad, not bad! "
Elder Hu nodded his head.
Forged by a 4-star blacksmith, all kinds of rare materials were used, and the secrets of the soul oracles were at stake. No matter how one looked at it, a middle-tier spirit stone wasn't expensive at all.
In fact, it could even be said to be a fair price.
Hearing that he didn't make a loss, Song Chao heaved a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully, "Then … Elder Hu, are you intending to buy it?"
"This item is hard to come by, so I will definitely buy it. However … as you know, even though I am an elder, my allowance is limited. The grade-7 Adamantine coffin is already worth a middle-tier spirit stone, so the Crimson Metal Coffin should be even more expensive. Even I … might not be able to afford it!"
Even though Elder Hu was agitated, he knew his limits.
Even though he was an elder of the sect, his allowance was limited. As such, he didn't have many middle-tier spirit stones in his possession.
"Right, have you tried buying it with Tutelage Jade Tokens?" Elder Hu asked.
"Tutelage Jade Token? The seller is a master teacher, and his rank … can only be higher than mine. He wouldn't want a Tutelage Jade Token … "
Song Chao smiled bitterly.
Back then, when he bought the Drunken Dreams, the other party refused to sell anything other than spirit stones. After learning that the owner of the suite was Zhang Shi, he understood the reason.
Since he was a master teacher himself, he would surely have a teacher who was even more formidable than him. While Tutelage Jade Tokens were incomparably valuable to other cultivators, to people like them, they didn't care too much about it.
It was just like how a gold mine owner hoped to use gold to trade for other items. They wouldn't want to exchange their hard-earned treasures for gold.
"Master teacher?" Elder Hu was taken aback.
If one wasn't a master teacher, he could use other means, such as accepting a disciple or offering pointers. However, if one was of the same standing as them, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
Mingshi Tang had the responsibility to protect master teachers. If he dared to risk his life for the sake of the Crimson Metal Token, their entire sect might be investigated and punished by the headquarters.
"How about this, where is he? Bring me to take a look. I would like to know how much the Crimson Metal Coffin is worth! This way, I can prepare it in advance. "
After a moment of hesitation, Elder Hu said.
Since they couldn't snatch it, they could only buy it. It was fortunate that the other party wasn't averse to selling it.
"He is staying in the guest residence of the League of Nations!" Song Chao hurriedly said.
In the past few days, not only had he been waiting outside the residence, he had also looked into Zhang Xuan's residence.
After leaving the herb garden, Zhang Xuan didn't conceal his tracks. Given how even Su shi and the others were able to find him easily, it wasn't too difficult for him to find him.
"Alright, prepare the horse and head over to take a look!"
Elder Hu nodded.
...
Hu!
Zhang Xuan came to a halt.
"I still don't have enough spiritual energy..."
He thought that it would be easy for a middle-tier spirit stone to raise his cultivation to Origin Energy realm pinnacle, but to think that it wasn't the case at all.
Along with the rise in his cultivation, his demand for spiritual energy increased. This middle-tier spirit stone was only sufficient for him to reach Origin Energy realm advanced stage. He was still a long way from reaching pinnacle.
"At the very least, I'll need another two middle-tier spirit stones to reach pinnacle!"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had used up all of the spirit stones he had obtained from Hall Master Han to cultivate his soul, and this middle-tier spirit stone wasn't sufficient either. It wouldn't be easy for him to find more middle-tier spirit stones.
Zhang Xuan thought that he was finally rich, but to think that he would have to worry about the lack of spirit stones once he started cultivating.
Furthermore, the Soulrouse Grass required a lot of spirit stones as well. Based on his calculations, the amount of spirit stones required for it to mature might be even higher than the amount required for him to reach Origin Energy realm pinnacle.
"Seems like I'll have to find a way to earn some money..."
Rubbing his glabella, Zhang Xuan stood up.
It was easy for him to say, but how was he going to earn money?
Even the Alliance Head Residence of Myriad Kingdom City didn't have many middle-tier spirit stones, needless to say, others.
"Forget it, I'll head to the Yin-Yang Lake first. Based on what Pavilion Master Kang said, the spiritual energy there is abundant, making it suitable for cultivation. Perhaps, I might be able to raise my cultivation without using spirit stones..."
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes.
Since it was a blessed land for cultivation, perhaps he might be able to raise his cultivation without using spirit stones.
"But before that, I'll have to get the Transcendent Mortal 3-dan Heaven's Path Divine Art out of the Yin-Yang Lake!"
Only with a cultivation technique would he be able to cultivate. Otherwise, if he were to head to a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy without a corresponding cultivation technique, everything would be for naught.
"Mingshi Tang must have plenty of such cultivation technique manuals. Now that I'm a 4-star master teacher, I'm qualified to browse through them!"
If there was a place with the most cultivation technique and battle technique manuals, it would definitely be Mingshi Tang's library. It would be much easier for him to collect books there than elsewhere.
Now that he was a 4-star master teacher, he was qualified to browse through the books in the library. Since he was free, he might as well head over to take a look.
Thinking so, Zhang Xuan stood up and walked out.
