The Human Giant-Chapter 291 : Dungeons Inside The Sect
"Don't worry about it. I am a martial artist, so my stamina is much higher and recovers far faster than you can imagine. Even if I had fought for several days straight, I probably could still walk from here to the City."
"Go as fast as you want. I will meet you there." Yoze said.
Alosa nodded her head and grinned. After muttering to herself, the yellow hat on top of her head began to release a bright yellow light. The light covered her entire body briefly before retreating into the hat.
However, after the light returned, Alosa's body disappeared, leaving only her floating hat swiftly flying towards the City. As Yoze watched Alosa's hat grow smaller, he licked his lips as he couldn't wait to see what would happen to Alosa after he completely transformed her spiritual energy.
Clearing his thoughts, Yoze turned his focus back to the fact that he was in dangerous territory and took on a more cautious attitude to his actions.
A week quickly passed after Yoze and the others had arrived in the Immortal Palace Sect. In this short period, Yoze had chosen to take things a little slow.
Even though he had gotten his Sect Mark on the back right arm and could go on missions at any time, he chose not to. Instead, he chose to stay in one of the ten free apartment buildings for new immortal cultivators.
Even though the room was a little small for his liking, and he had to shrink his body as much as he could just to fit inside without bumping his head on the roof every single time, he had learned a lot. For one, even though this was a sacred ground for immortal cultivators, no one would receive crystals for free.
For new immortal cultivators, they only had two options. The first was to sell their services to the mortals for something called Mortal Sect Points. These points were a cheaper version of the regular Sect Points but were much easier to obtain.
As long as one gathers ten Mortal Sect Ponts, one can buy a single large crystal the size of a human head. In the outside world, a crystal of this size and quality would cost hundreds of thousands of silver to obtain. Most immortal cultivators would not have been able to afford such a crystal without developing a business or becoming famous.
But to achieve such a feat would require a high amount of hours to obtain that result and keep it to continue affording these crystals. Sacrificing so many hours would surely slow down their immortal cultivation to the point that they would never reach the Crystal Skull real, much less become immortals.
The second was to mine the crystals themselves by traveling to one of the dozen large open mines outside of the City. These mines were like dungeons from a video game where the deeper one traveled into the cave, the larger and better the crystals. But after the fifth-level monsters began to appear and become stronger, the deeper one traveled.
Even though Yoze found it odd, he found that most immortal cultivators would choose to become helpful citizens and work for their crystals. Only when he visited the mines did he realize they were simply practical and cautious.
The mine he had visited was Mine-01 and had hundreds of immortal cultivators looking for crystals. As he went down, he noticed that all the crystals in the first five floors were much smaller than those that one could afford by working.
Even though they could collect more in quantity, they would have to spend a lot of time simply looking and mining for these crystals, in addition to having to remain cautious of all the desperate immortal cultivators nearby.
It was only on the sixth level that the crystals began to become closer in size to the ones in the City, and there were fewer immortal cultivators to worry about. But replacing the immortal cultivators were monsters that were bred and modified by the Sect to kill the immortal cultivators.
With the threat of dying from mining the crystals and a large amount of time spent looking for them, most immortal cultivators would rather spend doing simple tasks for the Mortals to buy the head-size crystals. Noticing how the immortal cultivators acted, Yoze shook his head, walked to the tenth floor, and took a few crystals that were triple the size of a human head.
Looking down at the one large crystal that he had remaining, Yoze let out a heavy sigh. Just these few crystals were equivalent to several hundred crystals in the outside world, yet he had just absorbed most of them in a few days.
It was enough for him to crystallize his nerve by three percent. Even with his grade 5 Crystal absorbing talent, grade 7 Crystal Nerve talent and grade 5 Dead Crystal Nerve talent giving him twelve times the speed at absorbing crystals, he still spent a week gaining three percent.
He could understand why even in such a paradise, immortal cultivators still had to manage their time well, or they would die before they could achieve their dreams. If he continued with this speed, it would take him 44 weeks to complete the Crystallization realm.
Other immortal cultivators would need to spend vastly more years to achieve these same results. Even though he was progressing fast, Yoze wasn't satisfied.
He was surrounded by so many talents that he was able to improve his Crystal Nerves and Crystal Absorption talents simply by walking around randomly. If he could come in close enough contact with the Ten Kings of the immortal Palace Sect, he would surely be able to greatly improve his Crystal talents.
Luckily his choice of having Alosa as his teammate was paying off. As he was gathering information on the Sect, gathering talents, and focusing on his immortal cultivation, she was busy forming relationships with all the immortal cultivators in her apartment building.𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
