Chapter 507: Chapter 507
"Of course there are, they call themselves Void Hunters."
Sang Qi explained earnestly, "Although the void is terrifying, those with real skills can venture there to explore and find many treasures!
After all, what’s scattered there are fragments of once-collapsed worlds, and you might even find many rare extinct plants and animals."
She paused for a moment and added, "Of course, danger and opportunity coexist. The more you harvest, the greater the danger you might encounter.
World fragments contain treasures but also unimaginably terrifying monsters, not to mention the extremely terrifying and mysterious Ghost Realm."
Jiang Yuan felt his mind hum and suddenly everything became clear—the rewards for public service orders mostly come from the void!
So many strange requests for water, rice, flour, firewood, and even blankets and clothes—turns out they’re all for the void refugees?
No wonder there are unequal Faith Value rewards; generally, the higher the Faith Value, the higher the quality of the materials needed...
The more he pondered, the more it made sense. The system often uses tasks to block the basic skill levels, aiming to make you earnestly farm and accumulate resources to assist survivors floating in the void?
"Have you ever set foot in the void, Seventh Sister?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
She shook her head helplessly, "My eldest brother has been there. He said the void is very scary and dangerous and doesn’t allow me to go.
He described the void as a boundless darkness; you might fly for a long time without encountering a world fragment, but you could suddenly find yourself in a cluster or even get swallowed silently by roaming Ghost Realms."
"Oh!" Sang Qi’s eyes lit up as she solemnly said, "If you see a meteor streak across the night sky, it’s actually the spark from a small fragment in the void hitting the world’s barrier.
Of course, there are world fragments that somehow cross the world’s barrier and attach themselves to the earth, forming eerie, polluted regions.
It’s said those polluted world fragments are spat out after being swallowed by Ghost Realms, which is why the polluted areas attached to the ground are also known as Ghost Realms.
Many years ago, my elder brother helped seal a section of the Ghost Realm with our father, and still, no purification method has been found, showing how terrifying it is."
This wasn’t really a secret, and Sang Qi enjoyed discussing the mysteries of the void, feeling she had much in common with her new friend.
"I wonder what kinds of elixirs you can make?" As the lord’s sister, she naturally didn’t lack cultivation resources. Yet elixirs, as consumables, are something nobody can have too many of. She wanted to seize the opportunity to make a friend who was an Alchemist, so she could directly ask for any future needs.
Trading Spirit Fruits for rare materials was out of the question, so Jiang Yuan brought out the heavyweights—Longevity Pills, Fifth-Grade Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pills, and Fifth-Grade Spirit Core Pills.
The first doesn’t need explanation; anything that increases lifespan without side effects is wildly sought after by cultivators;
The latter two focus on the fifth-grade elixirs, which are already quite presentable.
Sure enough, when the jade box containing the three elixirs was opened and lined up on the table, Sang Qi’s pupils shook!
I’m so foolish! Truly!
I actually thought he was an ordinary little cultivator! The source of thɪs content is NoveIＦire.net
He gifts Feathered Robes, wields a top-tier Spirit Sword, grows top-tier Spirit Fruits, and can perform alchemy; surely this person has taken the Youthful Appearance Pill. Must say, he took it rather early; this face is amazingly deceptive.
Materials that increase lifespan without side effects are extremely rare, even for someone of the lord’s rank, they’re hard to obtain.
Though the Longevity Pill is of low grade, he can perform alchemy; as long as he has enough Spirit Medicine, he can make countless pills and consume them endlessly!
The other two elixirs are both fifth-grade, and judging by the aura, they’re all top quality.
Sang Qi wasn’t very skilled in alchemy but knew her elder brother treated a sixth-grade Alchemist as a distinguished guest. Her third brother mentioned that despite this person’s sixth-grade status, their success rate in making sixth-grade elixirs was low, with only half success for fifth-grade ones.
In contrast, Jiang Dao You probably had to be a fifth-grade Alchemist to present fifth-grade elixirs; a higher success rate in alchemy wasn’t far off from that person.
Moreover, Sang Qi heard that alchemy was a profession of gradual progression.
The first three grades don’t differ much, but starting from Level Four, most Alchemists never advance further.
Whether due to talent or postnatal efforts, cultivation isn’t enough to support advancing to higher levels, understanding deeper pill formulas, mastering more complex fire intensity and potent medicinal powers.
The Alchemist treasured by her elder brother achieves only half the success rate with fifth-grade elixirs, and even if forced to sixth-grade, without a transformative event, they may never touch seventh-grade.
But this newly acquainted Jiang Dao You, if stable in making fifth-grade elixirs, might possibly touch seventh-grade or even eighth-grade in the future!
Such a good opportunity is right in front of her, with no cost, so why not arrange for him to meet her elder brother?
Of course, if he were hiding deceit, a personal check by her elder brother would reveal it instantly.
With the three elixirs, Jiang Yuan successfully aroused deep interest in establishing a connection and was enthusiastically invited to attend the evening banquet. Meanwhile, Sang Qi, after contacting her lord brother, arranged for him to spare time to visit.
Whether the Five-Colored Stone Essence, Jiao Lin Jade, or Celestial Purity Wood among rare materials from the void or wilderness, Sang Lishan had channels for sourcing them; it depended on whether the Alchemist could offer a trade price.
That day, Jiang Yuan toured Sang Qi’s territory, guided by her, seeing many plants and animals he had never seen before.
By nightfall, he witnessed the Wilderness World’s map in Ruiyun Palace’s grand banquet hall!
[Detected: Important Item Discovered—Complete Map of the Wilderness World. Would you like to record it?]
The system suggested it was an important item; how could he refuse?
Jiang Yuan clicked to record it, and the progress bar swiftly moved, with the map showing it was loading and updating...
This update lasted until the banquet was about to end, probably because the Wilderness World’s map was vast, requiring a lot of data to load.
During this time, Sang Qi introduced her new friend to her other companions. A group of handsome and beautiful demon cultivators, hearing he could plant delicious Spirit Fruits and having tasted them, placed orders and used resources abundant in their territories for trading.
Jiang Yuan added friends one by one using the Communication Stone, tallying order requirements, and pondering that once these self-promoted orders were completed, he must hasten to upgrade the warehouse, as many new raw materials would have no place to store.
At precisely three in the morning, a snowy giant roc silently tore through the night sky and descended, emitting a loud cry to announce its arrival.
Sang Qi jumped excitedly, "Big brother, you’re here!"
[Sang Lishan: Void Refinement Realm Great Perfection Jade Rabbit Demon, super advanced monster. Eldest in family rank, Lord of Yunmeng Mountain, has a chronic ailment due to injury that prevents cultivation progress, requires a ninth-grade treasure elixir Nine-Turn Bodhi Pill to heal.
The sixth-grade simplified version Sixth-Grade Bodhi Pill can temporarily relieve pain from the ailment; fifth-grade Jade Marrow Pill can temporarily numb the pain]
The system revealed new terms, and Jiang Yuan searched in the store among the pending consumption Spirit Stone purchases for pill formulas, finding only one Jade Marrow Pill available, priced at one million Spirit Stones.
He silently cursed, it’s so damn expensive!
