Eternal Reverence-Chapter 988: Black Wind Valley
Chapter 988: Black Wind Valley
The Sword Radiance City had plenty of supreme rate sword bones and there were over 100 complete sets of supreme rate sword bones.
However, there were abnormally huge differences in prices.
The price was determined by the grade of the sword bone’s sword patterns.
The grade of the sword pattern would also determine the grade of the cultivation technique.
A regular supreme rate cultivation technique would be inferior to a city lord-level cultivation technique, which would be inferior to a star domain-level cultivation technique.
There were nine grades of supreme rate sword bones. 9th grade being the lowest and 1st grade being the highest.
One complete set of 9th grade supreme rate sword bones would need 1500 elder points to borrow it. An 8th grade would need 2000 elder points. 7th grade would need 3000 elder points, 6th grade would need 5000 elder points, 5th grade would need 10,000 elder points. As for a 1st grade set of supreme rate sword bones, it would need 300,000 elder points.
“I don’t have enough elder points.” Seeing the price on the supreme rate sword bones, Li Fuchen sighed.
He only had a total of 5600 elder points and it was only enough for him to borrow 1 set of 9th grade sword bones and 2 sets of 8th grade sword bones.
“Let me take a look first.”
Li Fuchen didn’t spend all his elder points as he borrowed one set of 9th grade and one set of 8th grade supreme rate sword bones.
After purchasing a manor, Li Fuchen entered seclusion.
…
12 years later…
“9th grade and 8th grade have no difference to me. It is a pity that I do not have enough elder points, otherwise, I can borrow a higher grade of supreme rate sword bones to make a comparison.”
Li Fuchen wasn’t going to borrow all of the supreme rate sword bones as it would need an astronomical amount of elder points. As such, he had to research on which method was most cost effective. Borrowing a huge amount of low-grade supreme rate sword bones or a small amount of high-grade supreme rate sword bones.
Of course, the precondition was for him to have enough elder points.
Sword Radiance City, Elder Hall.
After a certain period of time, there would be elder-class missions issued here.
“Head to the Black Wind Valley to hunt for the Black Wind Beasts and obtain the black wind stones inside the body. Each black wind stone can be exchanged for 10 elder points.”
“Head to the Void of Chaos and hunt the Chaos Five Metal Beast, the corpse can be exchanged for 5000 elder points.”
“Head to the Death God Lake to harvest the Death God Grass, each Death God Grass can be exchanged for 500 elder points.”
“Kill the Li Clan Elder, White Bone Lord. The reward is 10,000 elder points. Note: The White Bone Lord is a superior lord and is very crafty.”
There were plenty of elder missions and Li Fuchen was carefully reading through the details.
Firstly, he eliminated the mission to hunt the Chaos Five Metal Beast. The Void of Chaos was one of the top 10 hazard lands in the Radiancy Star Domain and it was extremely dangerous. The Chaos Five Metal Beast might not have powerful strength, but it was also comparable to a regular lord or a superior lord. But its defense could only be broken by an elite lord.
Secondly, he eliminated the mission to harvest the Death God Grass. The Death God Lake was even more dangerous than the Void of Chaos as it was the 2nd most dangerous hazard land. Li Fuchen didn’t wish to take the risk for now.
Thirdly, he eliminated the mission to kill the Li Clan’s elder, the White Bone Lord. In order to kill a superior lord, at least two elite lords or one pinnacle lord were required. But if the White Bone Lord was adept at escaping, not even an unparalleled lord could make him stay. Li Fuchen’s strength was close to a superior lord at best, how was he going to kill the target?
Therefore, Li Fuchen chose the mission to hunt for the Black Wind Beasts. It was the most realistic mission for him.
…
The Black Wind Valley was one of the hazard lands in the Radiancy Star Domain.
The black wind here wasn’t ordinary black wind, it was a soul-separation black wind that could scatter a person’s soul. Apart from elite lords and above, there were few who were willing to stay here for long periods of time.
At the valley entrance, a figure descended.
“This is the soul-separation black wind?” Li Fuchen reached out and grabbed hold of a streak of black wind.
Jii Jii Jii…
The soul-separation black wind seemed as though it was alive as it was emitting a sharp sound that made a person dizzy.
“I see.” Li Fuchen discovered there were traces of bizarre soul power inside the soul-separation black wind.
In other words, if someone was to travel in the soul-separation black wind, they would be constantly receiving soul dao attacks. Even if the soul dao attack wasn’t powerful, once the duration increased, it would still be unbearable.
“I wonder how the soul-separation black wind is formed?” Li Fuchen was rather curious.
Li Fuchen opened up his strides and entered the Black Wind Valley.
Huff Huff Huff…
The black winds were ravaging inside the Black Wind Valley, making one’s vision very limited. The spiritual awareness couldn’t be extended too far away either, as it would be easily scattered by the black wind.
Of course, that was only referring to others. Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness was already scouting extremely far away, after all, his strong spirit soul also meant he had a strong spiritual awareness too.
Roar!
As Li Fuchen was gradually getting deeper into the Black Wind Valley, he heard a strange roar from the black winds.
If Li Fuchen exchanged places with a city lord-level heaven lord, this roar would have shuddered the city lord-level heaven lord’s spirit soul.
“Extinguish.” Li Fuchen brandished his sword and a black rock fell.
The Black Wind Beast wasn’t considered strong and any lord could deal with it easily. The crucial thing was that you only had one chance to attack. The Black Wind Beast would never allow a second attack on it. Once it scattered its body, the black wind stone would automatically disintegrate and fuse into the black wind.
With a suction force, Li Fuchen pulled in the black wind stone.
The black wind stone was a unique material. It was a rock but it didn’t have any weight and was floating. As Li Fuchen expected, the black wind stone contained huge amounts of soul power and also a trace of wind dao quintessence inside.
Two, three…
Hunting the Black Wind Beast was a test of patience for the others.
Firstly, one wouldn’t be able to stay too long in the Black Wind Valley as they would be constantly facing pressure.
Secondly, the scouting range inside the Black Wind Valley was very limited and it was easy to get lost inside.
Thirdly, the Black Wind Valley was too huge. It wasn’t hard to find one or two Black Wind beasts, but to find out, it would mean to spend more time inside.
It was different for Li Fuchen. To him, the soul-separation black wind inside the Black Wind Valley wasn’t a threat to him at all. If he was willing, he could spend a lifetime inside the Black Wind Valley. As for the scouting range, just with his spiritual awareness, his scouting range was at least 100 or 1000 times further than others. He didn’t need to worry about being lost and it was very easy for him to find the Black Wind Beasts too. A scan of the spiritual awareness would basically allow him to find one or two Black Wind Beasts.
After a few years, Li Fuchen had found over 1000 black wind stones, meaning he could exchange for 10,000 elder points.
But it wasn’t enough, it was far from enough.
10 years, 15 years, 20 years…
The lords that visited the Black Wind Valley found it rather strange during the recent years. Previously it was difficult to encounter a Black Wind Beast, but it wasn’t like now, as they couldn’t even find one for a few years.
“What is going on? Is there an anomaly in the Black Wind Valley?” A lordess frowned at the Black Wind Valley.
The Black Wind Beasts were formed by the soul-separation black wind. Even if they were killed, they would be reformed after a period of time. Therefore, in theory, the number of Black Wind Beasts should never decrease. Unless, the soul-separation black wind was scattered or a group of Black Wind Beasts had been killed within a short period of time, therefore, there wasn’t enough time for new Black Wind Beasts to be formed.
Unknowingly, Li Fuchen had reached the true depths of the Black Wind Valley. Apart from pinnacle lords and unparalleled lords, no one dared to enter this place. The intense soul-separation black wind was like bone-shaving blades that could easily injure the spirit soul of a regular lord.
But in comparison, the number of Black Wind Beasts here were much higher in density. It saved Li Fuchen plenty of time.
8000, 9000, 10,000…
Li Fuchen had already obtained more than 10,000 black wind stones.
