Dragon Monarch
Chapter 75 - Spiritual Stones
“You two should know that you are very famous right now in the wilderness in the Heavenly Dragon sect. Even many great clans and organizations are paying attention to you. All your information has spread to all the ears of strong cultivators.”
“Lin Yan, in the space of not up to four months has reached the Xiantian level of the Qi Foundation level. Such a talent would definitely be carefully observed. Huan Caiyi, the former servant of Long Pavilion, was said to be quite good talent, a former member of the Huan clan, more precisely the daughter of the Patriarch of the Huan clan. Within a few months it had reached the third stage Xiantian level of the ninth stage Houtian.”
“Even the current Royal family deeply regrets releasing you for the sake of a sword. According to the calculations, your age is 19, but, after further investigation, your age has not even reached 16. Of course the Royal Family will feel angry about letting go of someone with high talent like you. Since you once displayed the techniques of the Huan clan so excellently, you earned the nickname the Shadow Woman.” The man said all about what he knew in detail the information of Lin Yan and Huan Caiyi.
“Oh? I didn't expect that much of our information had been circulated. It was unexpected.” Lin Yan chuckled small. He was not at all worried that all the great powers knew the information.
Meanwhile, Huan Caiyi seemed ordinary because he knew sooner or later, their information would be widely spread because it made a tremendous sensation. Only, he was still a little surprised by the name of the Shadow Woman.
The man only smiled faintly hearing what Lin Yan said. He was actually quite surprised at the growth speed Lin Yan had never seen at all.
“Alright, this is the first thing I will introduce to you both.” The man pointed at the thing inside the glass box.
“Hm? What is it?” Asked Lin Yan curiously for never seeing it or reading about it from all the books he had.
Inside the glass box, there was a strange stone with a bluish-white color, a strange aura emanating from it.
“This is something referred to as spiritual stone. Information about this is very little. However, this can increase the attributes within the Spiritual Root. Also, this is a stone that can increase cultivation to a certain degree although it may not be able to increase your cultivation one stage.” The man explained.
“Spiritual stone?” Lin Yan's face was slightly wrinkled as he had heard from his grandparents mentioning the matter first.
“Is there only one stone here?” Asked Lin Yan curiously.
“In this branch there are only a few. We don't know where this new one came from. But, the Alchemist Association has a certain amount and keeps it for trading.” Reply to the man.
“Traded? Is this stone only sold to be exchanged for other objects?” Lin Yan made a speculation.
“Yes. You're really smart. But the Alchemist Association also received payment for merit points if it was in the Heavenly Dragon sect. This one spiritual stone is worth 1,000 merit points.” The man explained the price.
“What? That expensive? It is not even able to increase one stage cultivation, but the price is very high!” Huan Caiyi protested once more.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan thought. The number of merit points he had was 33,000 meaning he could only exchange for 33 new spirituals. He also felt that the price was very high.
The man smiled hearing Lin Yan question. He immediately replied, “You can exchange it for other rare items. I know you've done transactions with Long Pavilion before.”
The faces of Lin Yan and Huan Caiyi were slightly dark. They both did not expect that such information was leaked. From that, Lin Yan understood that the Alchemist Association wanted the thing he stored. Anyone would definitely not believe that Lin Yan only kept a small amount of items.
“Before that, I want to ask. This spiritual stone could be used by cultivation levels as high as what?” Asked Lin Yan.
“This spiritual stone has a great effect before reaching the level of the Spirit Realm. Because, it will develop the Spiritual Root constantly. If it had reached the level of the Spirit Realm, it would only have the effect of increasing the qi within the body.” Said the man.
“How many spiritual stones do you guys provide in the Alchemist Association branch in the Sky Dragon sect?” Asked Lin Yan because he knew how important spiritual stones were at the Xiantian level.
The man smiled slightly because he already knew that Xiantian cultivators would find it hard to refuse such resources.
“In this branch, the Alchemist Association has about 1,000 spiritual stones. Only that amount could be issued by the Alchemist Association due to its rarity. That's also if you have an object that interests the Alchemist Association.” Said the man.
“1.000? If it was the two of us, it wouldn't have improved cultivation much. I realized that this spiritual stone was capable of increasing cultivation in a certain amount. Is it worth exchanging it for one thing? But what should I exchange?” Inner Lin Yan and pondered for a moment.
“There is still one more stone of inscription knowledge. This is the knowledge of weaker formation arrays while creating a barrier to absorb qi in heaven and earth than I made in our residence.” Lin Yan continued to think and finally made up his mind.
“Are you guys interested in stone knowledge inscription?” Lin Yan asked looking towards the man.
“Oh? You still have the others? It was unexpected. Then, do you know what the content of the technique recorded in the stone is?” The man asked a little surprised. He naturally had already received news of Lin Yan possessing the stone knowledge inscription.
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. With this, he did not know what else to say because according to him, it was impossible for the Royal family to divulge such important information. It could be said that there was most likely some spy of the Alchemist Association in the Star Kingdom.
“Yes. This is the knowledge of a technique referred to as array formation to absorb qi in heaven and earth.” Lin Yan kept saying what the technique was because he was certain that the Alchemist Association would not be foolish by trying to rob him.
And all of that was indeed as Lin Yan had expected. The Alchemist Association was certainly very wary of the figure behind Lin Yan because they all knew what Lin Yan was doing but the Heavenly Dragon sect master still let him do anything. It was one proof that the Heavenly Dragon sect master was even afraid of Lin Yan's supporters.
The man was surprised by the recorded technique. Of course he knew that a lot about formation. He also put on a serious face and asked, “What's the speed with which the formation array absorbs qi?”
Lin Yan smiled slightly and replied which made the man widen his eyes like a ping pong ball. “This formation array might match the strongest formation array that the Heavenly Dragon sect or the Star Kingdom had!”
