Dissecting Demonic Beasts, Procuring Spiritual Items (4K)

Cloud Vortex True Monarch spoke with utmost seriousness, seemingly not merely offering polite words. Although he had secretly doubted Xiao Chen's true abilities yesterday, after experiencing the recent battle and witnessing firsthand what it meant to turn the tide, all misunderstandings had automatically dissipated. Now, Cloud Vortex True Monarch finally understood why the Heavenly Dipper Sect members trusted him so much. It's important to remember that, strictly speaking, Xiao Chen had only been here for eleven hours, less than a full day. Yet, he had resolved the southern crisis that had plagued Cloud Wave Sword Abode for two years. With the Giant Octopus reduced to ashes, the Sea Race ' offensive on the southern front had been completely thwarted. The speed of progress was astonishing. Even now, looking back, Cloud Vortex True Monarch still felt it was somewhat unreal. The battle plan formulated yesterday was simply to successfully kill the swordfish. Instead, Xiao Chen first slew the swordfish, then eliminated the stone grouper, Flying Needle to hunt down the Red Flower Crab, and burned the giant octopus with his Spirit Fire. He essentially single-handedly wiped out the Demonic Beasts. "Hiss~!" After careful consideration, Cloud Vortex True Monarch couldn't help but gasp again. All the spoils of war were directly related to Xiao Chen. The others had only played a supporting role. At this moment, only two words could describe Cloud Vortex True Monarch's feelings—outrageous! Immediately afterward, he couldn't help but feel a little mischievous. How was he going to explain this battle situation to his fellow Daoists? Those who didn't know better would think they were deliberately slacking off. Coincidentally, Han Chuan True Monarch seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He took the initiative to comfort him, saying, "Cloud Vortex Fellow Daoist, don't worry about it." "We've all been through this, you'll get used to it." After all, although the West Front always took a little longer, overall it was actually similar to the southern route. While they were still lamenting, Xiao Chen had already arrived next to Rift Void True Monarch to receive the spoils. After all, his main purpose in coming here was to collect enough fourth-tier spiritual materials. Although the hateful stonefish either self-destructed or was blown up, the Big Dipper Spirit Fire had also burned the Giant Octopus to ashes. Regardless, he still managed to catch a swordfish and a nearly intact Red Flower Crab. At least six useful fourth-tier spiritual materials could be extracted from them. The Red Flower Crab's shell, in particular, was remarkably well-preserved, arguably the most important gain from this battle. In truth, dissecting spiritual materials from Demon Beast is a technical task. How should one process them to maintain their integrity as much as possible? Are specific tools or techniques needed for different Spirit Beast? In short, there are many details to consider; it's not something that can be done casually. Of course, this doesn't mean Xiao Chen had to be so meticulous; he could have directly dissected them and obtained the corresponding spiritual materials. However, that would inevitably lead to some waste. Fortunately, the Cloud Wave Sword Abode had specially trained cultivators responsible for dissecting Spirit Fish. Although their cultivation was only at the Golden Core, they were fully capable of dissecting Fourth-Order Demonic Beast due to their specific Law Technique. "Daoist Xiao, let them get busy first," Cloud Vortex True Monarch said directly. "After all, it's Fourth-Order Demonic Beast, so it will inevitably take more time to process." "After it's decomposed tomorrow, have them send it to you," Xiao Chen waved his hand. "Actually, I'm quite interested in decomposing Demon Beast, and this is a good opportunity to learn." "So that I won't waste resources when I encounter Demon Beast alone in the future." He will be dealing with Demon Beast materials for a while, so it's essential for him to master the ability to process them independently. "As expected of Daoist Xiao!" Gang Yuan True Monarch immediately praised him. "You are always diligent and eager to learn; you are truly a role model for us." "To be honest, although I am a few years older, I have never thought about learning these important skills." "In this respect, I am far inferior to you, Fellow Daoist." Han Chuan True Monarch was surprised. Was this just empty praise? To be fair, the reason why major sects set up such positions is to free up the time of other disciples so that they don't have to study these miscellaneous tasks. The Heavenly Dipper Sect naturally also has dedicated personnel responsible for decomposing spiritual materials. The others, of course, didn't need to learn how to handle Demon Beast. "Daoist Gang Yuan is right," Cloud Vortex True Monarch nodded in agreement. "No wonder Daoist Xiao so skilled; it must be closely related to his daily efforts." Then, changing the subject, he said, "Someone, quickly bring me the relevant texts on the decomposition of spiritual materials for Fellow Daoist Xiao's reference." He specifically instructed the Golden Core Disciple to be careful later. "Uh, then I'll accept your kind offer." Since there was a secret technique to observe, Xiao Chen didn't refuse. He first perused the texts before closely observing the process of handling Demon Beast. He asked questions whenever he had doubts, and the Golden Core Disciple disciple naturally answered all his questions without reservation. Although only two Spirit Beast were disassembled, he explained all his practical experience in detail. His sincerity was a hundred times better than when he was teaching disciples. After all, teaching Xiao Chen meant there was no need to worry about the disciple starving the master. Eighteen hours later, the two Demon Beast were finally dismantled. Besides the swordfish's upper jawbone, three slightly bluish- Jade White Vertebrae and a dorsal fin as thin as a cicada's wing, capable of cleaving clouds and splitting mist, were also removed. A purplish -Azure Purple Inner Gallbladder, humming in mid-air, was also found. This was a rare find, as it was filled with lightning power, even though the swordfish hadn't been seen using any corresponding abilities before. As for the Red Flower Crab, its Crimson Crystal Carapace was removed first. Then, two egg-sized Crimson Flame Pearl were extracted from its claws. Next, a wisp of its Natal Demonic Fire was forced out from a soft, Crimson Jade- like shell deep within its abdomen. But the most precious item was the Thousand Hues Paste condensed in the dark layer of the crab's shell. To be honest, even without the guidance of the texts, Xiao Chen could find most of the other parts. The only concern was whether the dismantling would cause slight damage to the spiritual materials. However, this part, even with hints in the book, was quite difficult to find. The main problem was that the dark layer was not only extremely well hidden, but also had natural patterns that interfered with Spiritual Sense Probe. A slight lapse in attention could easily cause one to miss it. More importantly, such a massive crab only yielded six ounces of Thousand-Colored Essence. Moreover, according to the Golden Core Disciple, a third-tier Red Flower Crab typically only produces about five qian (approximately 15 grams). As everyone knows, rarity increases value. This extremely rare Thousand Hues Paste Essence is naturally incredibly precious. When used on Spirit Artifact, it creates a rainbow-like trail when cast, not only beautiful but also affecting enemy interception. If mixed into the Array Foundation, it can generate morning and evening mists within the array, making it ideal for enhancing illusion techniques. "It's truly rare that Red Flower Crab can produce illusion-type spiritual materials," Xiao Chen, genuinely hearing such obscure knowledge for the first time. "It's a pity the quantity is a bit small; otherwise, it would have been perfect for cultivating the ' Refraction Illusion Art '." But it's alright; he can save it and see how it goes. If he gets another batch, he can take it back and add it to his Custom Spear. After dismantling the spiritual materials, Xiao Chen naturally didn't forget to collect the crab meat. After all, the Red Flower Crab Meat, and since he'd encountered it, he definitely wanted to test it out and bring some back for Su Li. Of course, he only picked out the freshest and most delicious portion. Even so, it still amounted to a full 20,000 jin! The Red Flower Crab were indeed quite large. That evening, Xiao Chen enjoyed a fresh crab meat feast in the Sword Hut. During the meal, he proactively stated, "I'm currently short of spiritual materials. If everyone doesn't mind, we won't share this harvest; how about we compensate with Spirit Stone?" However, everyone declined. Especially Cloud Vortex True Monarch, who not only refused the compensation but also proactively inquired, "What kind of spiritual materials does Daoist Xiao lack?" "Anything available in the Sect Warehouse can be taken directly." His intention was good, but he clearly misjudged the situation. If he only lacked one or two spiritual materials, Xiao Chen might have readily accepted. But even having just obtained eight Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, he was still dozens of items short of his second Complete Fusion Spirit Tool. Even if they took all of Cloud Wave Sword Abode's inventory, it might not be enough. Considering such a huge shortfall, Xiao Chen still politely declined, saying, "That won't do. As the saying goes, even brothers have to keep clear accounts." "Let's keep things separate. This is something that should be traded normally, so let's just do it normally." "By the way, speaking of which, I actually have a business deal I'd like to discuss." As he spoke, he directly took out the purchase list from the Rebellious Immortal Alliance: "Please take a look, Cloud Vortex Fellow Daoist and Daoist Gang Yuan, and see if you have any of the spiritual items listed on this list in stock." "And please calculate the price of these items as well." "Don't be so polite with me, everyone. I'm buying this for a friend, and if everything goes smoothly, we'll probably need more in the future." "So let's just calculate the price in Spirit Stone Spirit Stone." When Cloud Vortex True Monarch and Gang Yuan True Monarch heard that this was someone else's order, they abandoned the idea of giving it away for free to gain favor. Instead, they began to browse the specific contents of the goods. Both of them managed a large sect, and they immediately noticed something amiss. The spiritual items needed on the list didn't seem to be for personal use, but rather seemed to be a demand from a newly established large power. Since that's the case, they naturally proceeded with business as usual. These items were difficult for the Rebellious Immortal Alliance to acquire, but for them, they were incredibly easy. After all, neither of them had Holy City overseeing them. Therefore, True Cloud Vortex True Monarch immediately stated, "These items look complicated, but there aren't any particularly rare items. In my opinion, I'll take over this deal." "There's no need to trouble Daoist Gang Yuan to transport spiritual items from afar," Gang Yuan True Monarch smiled, tacitly agreeing to the idea. Xiao Chen naturally had no problem with that either, and so it was settled. Although it was said to be business as usual, Cloud Vortex True Monarch ultimately offered a price slightly above cost, charging only 3.6 million Spirit Stone. It should be noted that reselling the goods on this list would bring in at least 7 million Spirit Stone. Xiao Chen only needed to make a simple transaction to earn a huge profit of 3.4 million Spirit Stone. This was much more than he had initially expected. And this was just the beginning; as he gradually discovered the differences Two Realms, the profit potential would only increase. In short, as long as he can make good use of the Dimension Sorcerer Emblem Hextech, he will never have to worry about running out of Spirit Stone stones again. From this perspective, the Dimension Sorcerer Emblem can be considered an economical Hextech. After discussing the purchase of spirit materials, Xiao Chen didn't rush to talk about Spirit Material Transaction. Instead, while enjoying his meal, he inquired about the latest situation in the outside world, mainly about any new developments in other places over the past few months. Actually, he had wanted to ask about this as soon as he arrived, but it wasn't too late to find out now. "The latest development is the matter of reinforcements from the Sea Race," Cloud Vortex True Monarch said, introducing the situation. "Not only have new Sea Race Great Demon appeared in the south, but reinforcements have also arrived from the Shallow Sky Sea and Universal Salvation Temple." "Especially Universal Salvation Temple, the situation is said to be quite dire." "If it weren't for the Fa Zhao Arhat and Arhat Bright Fire, which helped alleviate some of the pressure, the situation might be very different now." "It's just a pity about Bright Lantern Arhat." "He was interfered with by the Sea Race at the crucial moment of his breakthrough, ultimately failing at the last hurdle." Xiao Chen did have some impression of Bright Lantern Arhat. Three years ago, when he went to participate in the New Ruin, he heard that the Arhat had helped rogue cultivators heal their injuries for free and given them healing elixirs. Regardless of his true purpose, he was someone who was willing to do good deeds. He never expected to encounter such a situation. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, "How could he fail to break through?" "In my memory, he should also be the next generation of Zen Master that Universal Salvation Temple is focusing on cultivating, right?" This doesn't mean that being cultivated as a key figure guarantees a successful breakthrough. But with Universal Salvation Temple's resources, they should have a way to roughly estimate the success rate of a breakthrough. Normally, unless one has an 80-90% chance of success, it's better to postpone the breakthrough. These promising talents are still young; even a hundred or two hundred years to solidify their foundation is enough. "Alas, there's nothing we can do," Cloud Vortex True Monarch said with a hint of regret. "The pressure ahead is just too great; there's no time for these promising talents to grow slowly." "It's not just Universal Salvation Temple; Azure Sea Immortal Sect and Thousand Machines Valley are in the same boat." "Almost all Golden Core Great Perfection disciples with a certain degree of confidence in their breakthrough have been brought out for the attempt." "With such a rush, the casualties are naturally high; almost one in ten succeeds." Gang Yuan True Monarch sighed upon hearing this, "Alas, there's nothing we can do about this situation; it's just a matter of fate." Even these two True Lord were deeply moved by this situation. After all, they had both come from the Golden Core and understood the difficulties involved. Especially considering the significant casualties within Cloud Wave Sword Abode and Heavenly Dipper Sect themselves, they could fully empathize.
