Chapter 1261: Plans to stay a while longer
Although the pearls were used in a different manner, the Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique worked perfectly, allowing the twins to reach Second Grade Star Body after another day of hard work.
[See? Everything worked out just well. So, how do you feel right now?]
Roan took out his White Scythe and performed a few moves in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. “The difference isn’t that big.”
[But you know why that’s the case, right?]
Roan nodded in response. “I do. It’s because we’re already in the Saint Realm. The Second Grade Star Body would have a much bigger impact if our cultivation was in the Nascent Soul Realm, which was the minimum requirement for it. At the Saint Realm, we’re supposed to be breaking through into Third Grade Star Body instead.”
[That’s correct. You can improve your Star Body Grade every two cultivation realms, starting from the Core Formation Realm. With that said, the First Grade Star Body is most suitable for someone at the Core Formation and Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation would be the apt realms for Second Grade Star Body. Naturally, Saint Realm and Elemental Transformation would be the realms for Third Grade, which you still haven’t achieved.]
Nonetheless, Rean couldn’t help but comment, “To be honest, I find it really impressive. Try to use my Enhancement skill.”
Roan nodded and did as Rean said. Only then did he notice what Rean meant. “Impressive indeed.”
Rean smiled in response. “My Enhancement skill increases the raw strength in a person’s body. However, it has a limit. Now that our bodies had become stronger, that limit increased. The higher our Star Body Grade, the higher the effect of my Enhancement skill.”
Sister Orb was happy to hear that. [This is great! Have you noticed? Your limit at the moment against the Sacred Land geniuses was Late Stage Saint Realm. If you two fought together while using the Elemental Exchange, you could bring that to the Peak Stage Saint Realm. However, I believe you two can fight against Peak Stage Saint Realm cultivators of the Sacred Land with the Second Grade Star Body plus Rean’s Enhancement skill. If you two fight together, perhaps you can once again jump an entire realm to fight.]
Roan wanted to put that to the test straight away. However, he knew there was a more pressing matter. “Alright, I’m going to the Alchemist Hall to see if someone accepted the request I left there three months ago. I will test my strength against the Saint Realm people of the Saint Realm Ranking Board after I’m done with that.”
Rean then asked, “What about our departure? Shouldn’t we leave straight away after you check out that Molten Divine Rock Flower?”
Roan nodded, saying, “We will. There’s one guy within 30 positions of the Ranking Board who’s at the Peak Stage of the Saint Realm. I will just fight that guy and see if I can get even. As soon as I finish, we’re heading out. One or two extra hours here won’t make much of a difference.”
Roan then looked at Rean. “However, are you sure you want to leave straight away? You spent the last three months exchanging your equipment for pearls, right? You didn’t have a chance to gather that many Rank Two Divine Stones. Don’t you want to accumulate some Divine Stones before we go out? We won’t have a Sacred Land or a Lukimira Sect full of Divine Veins to cultivate outside.”
“This…” Rean had to admit Roan was right. He wanted to go out to find Qia, but would they go much further without money?
Roan also added, “Besides, you don’t really think that the smugglers will help us for free, right?”
Rean sighed, knowing that Roan was right in that regard. “Fine, I guess I’ll go head back to forge more weapons and armors. Without Divine Stones to pay for the journey, we will probably take a lot longer to arrive in Jhiod.”
“It’s good that you understand. Trust me when I say that you aren’t the only one wanting to find your girl. I’m saying it exactly because I think it’ll be much faster after gathering some wealth,” Roan noted.
Rean didn’t want to waste time either, so he returned to the Blacksmith Hall three days later after preparing more materials. Fortunately, he did have a lot of Earth’s Remnants from his last visit to the Cosgles Village, so he just had to deal with the rest. “Alright, I’m back. I don’t need Deep Sea Spiked Clam Pearls anymore. We’re going back to Divine Stones. 100 Rank Two Divine Stones for normal Element Gathering Equipment. 300 Rank Two Divine Stones for the Special Edition.”
*Wow!*
Naturally, everyone was delighted to hear that Rean would go back to work.
Meanwhile, Roan went to the Alchemist Hall to verify his request. At the counter, he asked the worker about it. “So, did anyone find the information I needed?”
The worker checked Roan’s request before nodding, saying, “Yes, an alchemist called Glatica from the Core Sector of the Sacred Land left a message behind, saying she knew something about it.” The worker then passed Roan her contact. “You can use this token at the Core Sector to have Glatica come out and talk to you. She should be there concocting pills at the moment.”
Roan was satisfied to hear that. “Good.”
Without wasting time, he went straight to the Core Sector before passing the token to one of the guards there. However, before he could do so, someone called his attention. “Oh! Roan! You’re finally back!”
Roan looked in the voice’s direction and immediately recognized the person. “Kihin, huh?”
After spending a few months with Roan, Kihin was already used to Roan’s cold behavior. “That’s me. Say, what made you come here to the Core Sector?”
Roan pondered over it for a bit before telling Kihin who he was looking for.
Kihin nodded after listening to him. “Oh, Glatica? Come, I’ll bring you to her residence. There’s no need to wait for the guards to call her out.”
Roan didn’t have a reason to refuse, so the two entered the Core Sector with Kihin’s permission.
