Having traveled through hundreds of years, Jason deeply felt the scarcity of auxiliary equipment in the Coiling Dragon World.
The magical items found in other fantasy worlds simply don't exist here. As for Divine Artifact, they are merely weapons nurtured by Divine Power power, possessing specific effects within the bounds of the rules.
Fortunately, there is a fairly diverse range of medications available.
Potions can be broadly categorized into three types: those for healing the soul, those for healing the body, and those for attacking others. However, in reality, there are only a few types of potions in each category, with the differences lying in the skill of the potion maker, which leads to variations in their effects.
"The Soul Nourishing Pill, crafted by Deity-level expert with the Death attribute, can rapidly heal most soul injuries, priced at one million per pill; the Vitality Pill, crafted by Deity-level expert with the Life attribute, can quickly restore physical injuries, priced at three million per pill; the Corrosion Poison, crafted by Deity-level expert with the Death attribute, Corrosion both the soul and the body, priced at five million per bottle."
Delisha went on a buying spree of various potions, and Jason followed suit, purchasing some as well.
"Corrosion Poison?" Jason looked at the small bottle in his hand and thought of Kasabu, who had died in battle. He had once bought a bottle of poison for a high price.
Even though the methods of making poisons are roughly the same, they can differ depending on the creator's understanding of the laws governing them.
The poison in Jason's hand can Corrosion both the soul and the body, indicating that the creator has a deep understanding of the "Corrosion" ability within the Edicts of Death. As for the name, it was probably chosen by the creator himself.
"That's all. Is there anything else you need?" Delisha asked Jason.
"That's all. We'll probably pass through some other cities while doing the mission, so I'll add more later if needed."
Johanna's caravan didn't set off until seven months later, supposedly because someone was temporarily added to the fleet from Hyde City, the capital of the Northbone Prefecture, causing a delay.
The Netherworld of a prefecture and twenty cities. The capital city where the prefecture lord resides is freely selected from among the twenty cities by each successive prefecture lord. Hyde City is the capital city selected by the current Northbone Prefecture.
A trident-shaped Metallic Airship with a blue tip and a black handle departed from Falling Rain City and flew southeast.
This is the first voyage, so we don't plan to linger in the Northbone Prefecture. Instead, we'll head straight for the border between the Northbone Prefecture and the Bone Dragon Prefecture, passing through several cities in the Bone Dragon Prefecture, and finally arriving at Skyfall City to establish the route first.
The caravan consisted of thirty-one people.
The five Highgod, including Johanna, are all Fiend hired by Johanna from Falling Rain City. Delisha and two other Highgod are all Five-Star Fiend and know each other. The other is a thin man named Mariano, who is said to be from the family of the lord of the Northbone Prefecture, the Saint Clan.
The remaining twenty-six Midgod and Fiend had all accepted the mission to advance from two stars to three stars. Midgod Fiend at this stage were already considered quite strong, with many on the verge of breaking through to the threshold of Highgod.
As for the goods being transported, there were some top-grade Deathgod Golem made by Lord Lloyd, as well as some supplies to aid in cultivation. Skyfall City's trade has been almost completely cut off, and it desperately needs these kinds of supplies.
In addition, Mariano also seems to be in charge of escorting something to be delivered to the lord of Skyfall City.
The team was more than capable of escorting Johanna's supplies, but Jason was worried about what Mariano had in his possession, fearing it might attract unnecessary trouble.
However, Jason couldn't change Johanna's decision; since she had allowed him to join the caravan, it was clear she had considered it carefully.
Jason was in a separate room, looking at the rugged landscape peeking through the gaps in the clouds.
The current Metallic Airship is 50,000 meters above the ground and its speed is comparable to that of Highgod.
This is the flight speed and altitude possessed only by top-grade Metallic Airship. Metallic Lifeform lack cultivation abilities, and their combat capabilities are at most at the level of Lowgod. However, through special refining, they have become exceptionally powerful in flight.
As for the shape of the blue-tipped, black-handled trident, it is the form of Metallic Airship used by the city lord of Falling Rain City. It is said that Lloyd himself was a "Black-Pupiled Blue-Patterned Naga", a Saint-level magical beast of both water and darkness.
The "Black-Pupiled Blue-Patterned Naga" possesses extremely high talent and is considered to be a magical beast of the same level as the "Evil Eye King".
The "blue-tipped, black-handled trident" is said to be the family crest that Lloyd chose when he first tried to establish his family.
"It should be safe before entering the Bone Dragon Prefecture," Delisha said as she approached.
Johanna just convened a brief meeting with the Highgod Fiend in the team.
What did Johanna say?
"She said she admires you very much and wants to be my daughter-in-law!" Delisha said with a smile, transmitting her thoughts telepathically.
"Really? Miss Johanna announced it in front of the other Highgod?" Jason knew it was a joke and retorted.
Delisha sighed, "They're just telling us to show our true abilities, and we'll get our share of the rewards when we get back to Falling Rain City. Honestly, why did they have to send someone in at the last minute, especially someone from the Northbone Prefecture? This just makes our mission harder."
"I have a feeling that Mariano is quite strong; he might be Six-Star Fiend!" Jason said.
"He just briefly explained his situation: he became a god through both the death and Wind Element, but he didn't mention anything else."
"Hmm... I wish I were Highgod too," Jason sighed.
"Now you're confident you can fight Four Star Fiend, right?"
"It should be possible if we don't use soul attacks," Jason said cautiously.
At that moment, Johanna's divine sense transmitted a message: "Enemies!"
Jason and Delisha exchanged a glance. "Who's so blind!"
Two fast-moving Highgod Fiend had already flown out, attempting to directly dispel the opponent.
It's important to understand that Johanna isn't just representing Falling Rain City this time; the Saint family from Northbone Prefecture Saint Clan also involved. At least within Northbone Prefecture, there shouldn't be anyone foolish enough to start an internal power struggle over something like this.
"The enemy shows no sign of leaving; it seems this battle is inevitable!" This was the divine sense of a Five-Star Fiend in the group, clearly indicating that the two Highgod Fiend had failed to intimidate the enemy.
"The border has been in chaos these past few years; even a team protected by five Highgod couldn't stop them," one of the Highgod remarked.
The bandits' divine senses had already covered the area, and several Highgod Fiend had already sensed that the other side was led by Highgod, and there were at least six of them!
Delisha looked at Johanna.
Johanna shook her head. "They're not a known large bandit group; our itinerary is also kept secret, at least we won't be targeted within the Northbone Prefecture. They're probably assigned by some big shot to be stationed here."
Johanna's operation was meticulous. Not only were the Highgod selected as reliable candidates, but even the Midgod and Fiend were screened. Most of them were trustworthy Fiend had been carrying out missions around Falling Rain City for many years, and each of them was checked to ensure that no Soul Seed had been implanted in them.
Jason couldn't concern himself with the reliability of his crew, but looking at the surrounding bandits, he couldn't help but grumble.
"So many bandits surrounding such a small group of us, are you sure you didn't leak the information?!"
There were over three hundred bandits, five of whom exuded the aura of Highgod; I could confirm them with just a glance, without even using divine sense. The rest were all Midgod, and there wasn't a single Lowgod among them!
This strength is enough to establish a large tribe!
