As Shifeng clicked on the crystal, a brief introduction appeared before his eyes.
The instant Shifeng read the introduction, he was stunned.
"This is an Elemental Source?" Shifeng stared at the crystal in his bag in disbelief.
[Source of Extreme Frost] Contains the purest power of frost.
Although the introduction was brief, everyone in God's Domain had heard of Elemental Sources in the past. Any Elemental Source was worth more than an Epic item. Some players had even been willing to trade two Epic items for an Elemental Source. However, almost none of the players who had obtained an Elemental Source would sell it.
This was because Elemental Sources were even purer than Seven Luminaries Crystals. They had a wide variety of uses.
Forging, alchemy, engineering, magic arrays, and many more.
If one used an Elemental Source to forge weapons and equipment, the weapon or equipment would contain Origin Power. Not only would the forged weapon or equipment have higher Attributes, but it would also carry powerful Origin Skills.
If one could forge an Epic Weapon or Equipment with an Origin Power, its market value would be second only to Fragmented Legendary items.
Fragmented Legendary items were extremely rare in God's Domain. Even first-rate Guilds only had a few, not to mention second- and third-rate Guilds. Hence, the Epic Origin Weapons and Equipment crafted by Fragmented Legendary items were the best equipment the various large Guilds could obtain.
In the past, he had hired a Grandmaster Forger to forge his Epic Weapon using Elemental Sources. Back then, to obtain that weapon, he had spent more than half of his accumulated wealth in God's Domain. Although it would have been cheaper to hire a Master Forger to forge the weapon, it was safer to hire a Grandmaster Forger.
He had never imagined that he would actually obtain an Elemental Source.
At this moment, realization dawned on Shifeng. He finally understood why a new expansion pack had been released and why the offline update had taken four hours.
The appearance of Elemental Sources in the past had ushered in a new era for Lifestyle classes. Due to the fact that Elemental Sources could be used in many aspects, they could also improve the quality of Lifestyle classes. Hence, the amount of data that needed to be modified was massive.
Meanwhile, after the first Elemental Source had appeared in the game, more Elemental Sources had appeared throughout God's Domain. If one was lucky, one could even obtain an Elemental Source from a Dark-Gold Treasure Chest.
"Right now, no one knows the true value of the Elemental Sources. I can get A Melancholy Smile to secretly purchase them," Shifeng thought. He felt that this was a good opportunity to purchase a large number of Elemental Sources.
During the early stages of the game, nobody had known the true value of Elemental Sources. They had all sold the materials for only a few hundred Gold each. However, when everyone realized the true value of Elemental Sources, the players who had sold the materials for a low price regretted their decision. In the end, many large Guilds had made a fortune.
Back then, many Guilds had regretted not purchasing more Elemental Sources. Even a few dozen Elemental Sources could increase the overall strength of a Guild's experts by a large margin. If they could hoard 400 to 500 Elemental Sources, the benefits would be unimaginable.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng found a safe place and logged off to rest.
Due to the sudden arrival of the new expansion pack, by the time Shifeng opened his eyes in the virtual gaming cabin, the sun was just about to set.
Before Shifeng exited his virtual gaming cabin, he heard the cabin beep with a series of message notifications. The notifications only stopped after several dozen times.
However, Shifeng wasn't in a hurry to check the notifications. Instead, he went to the Refrigerator to grab some food and drinks. He then opened the messages so that he could check them while eating.
He couldn't contact the outside world while inside the Ice Crystal World. Hence, he had asked A Melancholy Smile and Gentle Snow to send him the latest updates. However, to obtain the Eternal Ice Crystals as quickly as possible, he had stayed online for three days straight.
"They're finally willing to relent." Shifeng could not help but smile when he read Gentle Snow's message.
Nothing major had happened in God's Domain. Most importantly, Gentle Snow's side had finally captured Hidden Fog Town. Meanwhile, Ling Yi's Branch Guild in the Black Dragon Empire had recruited another 70,000 members. To first-rate Guilds, this number might not be worth mentioning, but it was a different story for the Ling YI Society.
As Ling Yi's recruitment process was very strict, very few players could pass the recruitment test. The fact that the Branch Guild had recruited 70,000 members in such a short time was already impressive.
However, this did not surprise Shifeng. What truly delighted Shifeng was that the major corporations that supported Ouroboros had finally relented. They were prepared to sell all of Ouroboros's training center's shares to Gentle Snow. Currently, both sides were negotiating the price.
So long as both sides signed the contract, Ouroboros's training center would become Zero Wing's main headquarters. In the future, Zero Wing would be able to recruit internal members as it wished. It would no longer have to worry about a lack of space.
As Shifeng browsed through the other messages, the virtual gaming cabin's offline communication system rang. The caller ID displayed was Feng Qianyu.
Following which, Shifeng accepted the call. Immediately, Feng Qianyu, who wore exquisite, dark-blue mage robes, appeared on the virtual screen. Moreover, Feng Qianyu had already reached Level 48. Aside from the Ling YI Society, he was definitely the number one player on the Black Dragon Empire's Ranking List.
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, why are you in such a hurry to contact me? Is something urgent?" Shifeng asked curiously.
"It is indeed something urgent. Previously, I was competing with Nine Dragons Emperor for a quest. However, for some reason, Nine Dragons Emperor's side suddenly changed. He actually completed the quest very quickly. With this, many of the Guild's Elders have sided with Nine Dragons Emperor. Now that an ancient ruin is about to open, I hope that President Hei Yan can lend me a few experts to help raid the ruin," Feng Qianyu said, nodding. Without hiding anything, he continued, "As for the cost of hiring these experts, I can sell you a high-potential Shop in the Apocalypse Empire's imperial capital at market price. What do you think?"
She already had a clear understanding of Ling Yi's experts. This was especially true for Zhao Yueru, who had participated in the ranking competition, and Shiuse Qiangwei, who had performed spectacularly during the siege battle.
If these experts joined her, her chances of raiding the ancient ruin would increase significantly.
When Shifeng heard Feng Qianyu's offer, he was slightly surprised.
He had never thought that Feng Qianyu would be so generous as to offer to sell a high-potential Shop in the imperial capital. This was something that couldn't be bought with money. In fact, some people were even willing to pay two or three times the market price. However, no one would be foolish enough to sell so early.
"An ancient ruin? May I know what kind of ruin it is? "Shifeng asked after calming himself down.
"The ancient ruin is the Apocalypse Empire's Sunset Forest," Feng Qianyu explained, although he didn't understand why Shifeng would ask such a question.
"I see." Realization dawned on Shifeng. After giving the matter some thought, he said, "If the Phoenix Pavilion wishes to borrow the experts, of course, I have no problems with it. However, I have an even better proposal. If I help you secure the ancient ruin, I'll take 20% of the resources inside."
There were plenty of historical sites in God's Domain. At the same time, there were plenty of rare items and resources left behind from before the Great Destruction. These items couldn't be found on the market. Meanwhile, the Apocalypse Empire's Sunset Forest was relatively famous. The Ancient Origin Wood it produced was a top-tier material used to construct ships.
Feng Qianyu frowned slightly when he heard Shifeng's offer. However, when he saw Shifeng's confidence, he could not help but ask, "That's a Level 50 to Level 60 Grade 1 Ancient Ruin. Are you sure you can secure it?"
