The Eternal Ruler System
Chapter 15: Zhangye

"Young master, it seems like young master is just like me not wanting to join a team with strangers." Suddenly the voice of the young man heard beside him made Qin Chen turn his head to the side.

He looked at that young man with a simple appearance, and his strength was nothing compared to the people up ahead there gathered. "You're pretty good at guessing things, however I'm strong enough to solo a hunter on nine monster mountains alone."

"Haha ... The young master is good at talking, I am Zhangye, from the neighboring city who came here to take part in this competition of the nine monster mountains." The reply.

"Qin Chen, call me Qin Chen."

"Okay, Mr. Chen. Speaking of the nine monster mountains, why did master Chen participate? Is it possible because of the earth-class treasure given by the city lord as his first gift?" Zhangye asked politely, he sat down beside Qin Chen calmly.

Qin Chen frowned, he sighed. "Core monsters are very tempting, I participate just to collect monster cores, then ask the Forges I know to make weapons for me."

"Huh? Was master Chen not interested in this earth-class treasure? Isn't this treasure the target of the people who entered this competition! To them, an earth-class weapon was something of a treasure compared to monster cores that would not have been certain to succeed or not while forging." Zhangye said it innocently.

When he heard it, he slightly nodded because what he said was not wrong. Forging a weapon with monster cores was a process of life and death, everything that existed while forging was luck.

If they had luck, then earth-class weapons could be forged. Otherwise, they would only lose the monster cores that had already painstakingly taken them from the powerful monsters.

"That's their thinking, I have my own thinking. Gathering monster cores was not only for forging weapons, monster cores were quite useful for extracting the energy within and absorbing it personally. Although it should be underlined, the energy of monster cores was not as pure as the energy of heaven and earth. Yet it was still acceptable by filtering through every small space in the monster cores." Reply Qin Chen.

Zhangye was speechless to hear it, in his mind thinking what Qin Chen could actually separate, purify, and refine the energy within the monster cores as smooth and smooth as he said.

It makes a lot of question marks. "So it seems ... If master Chen said it that easily, then master Chen had thought about this before, and had prepared for it."

"You are quite good at observing my every word, I have indeed prepared for this very long. Now I will use it to increase my strength that is stopping in the middle of the road."

Qin Chen praised him for observing his every word, what he said was the truth. The monster cores had two uses in this world, first using monster cores to forge earth-class weapons, although the contention of failure was extremely high, yet not many of them gave up.

Secondly, they could absorb the energy contained within the monster cores by themselves. It needs to be underlined, although it can be absorbed by them individually, but without doing the recommended three stages will make their foundations collapse and damage the meridians.

Because, the energy contained in the monster cores is not pure so it will cause a fatal impact on the foundation. It is therefore recommended to perform all three important stages; separating, purifying and filtering.

Separating is the stage where they will separate two opposing energies, positive and negative. Purifying is the stage where after separating the two energies, they are recommended to purify the energies as they have previously been contaminated by negative energies.

While in the final stage, they can filter the energy that has been purified into themselves and condense it in dantian.

This process may be very complicated, but the benefits are all very large when following the three stages recommended earlier.

Zhangye chuckled as he waved his hand. "Haha ... Mr. Chen is great at this, however I admire you." The reply.

"Master Chen, I am merely a cultivator at the Formation stage. Even if I wanted to join another team, they would look for criteria that could support the team while hunting monsters." Zhangye slightly lowered his head as he replied to Qin Chen's question.

Seeing Zhangye's current reaction, he understood it. "You're right, criteria are important. However, there are some sneaky people using money to hire their friends when they are in an unfortunate situation."

Zhangye gave a small nod, right there on the side of the road where Qin Chen and Zhangye were, the two of them chatted together until late at night.

Inside the bustling restaurant of outside visitors, Qin Chen was sitting on the fourth floor where important people were at the grave during night, day, or other days.

How did he get there because Qin Chen used the pressure of his strength to enter the fourth floor by becoming a Grandmaster of the Way of Tribulation. Even though there were many questions on the servant's mind, the restaurant's winyer about Qin Chen's small state.

'System, what do you think will happen in the nine monster mountains tomorrow?' he asked the system to confirm something he had thought of earlier.

[As you may think, there is only one-sided destruction and slaughter that will tear down mountains and rivers.]

'The lair? Maybe true, then this extermination, does this refer to the extermination of monsters or anything else?' Qin Chen asked once again as he was curious about the words of the system.

[Over annihilation leads to obliterating the entire life on the nine monster mountains, including humans and monsters themselves.]

Upon hearing it, he froze and suddenly the food he ordered earlier arrived on his dining table, this made Qin Chen react in confusion and made the service confused.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir? Does the wine shortage? Or want to order another menu?" The waiter spoke kindly to make Qin Chen comfortable in the restaurant.

"No-no, this is enough. You can go back to work."

"Good, sir. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to call the waiter here." After which, the female servant stepped in leaving Qin Chen alone there.

He immediately closed his eyes, and thought of the previous thing in a matter of seconds looking for the thousand mysteries he had already solved. 'System, what do you mean this extermination is a war with powerful beings?'

[Truly sir. Saints were a great power on this land, extremely valuable and rarely appeared on land as there were only a few. The king of monsters was one of them, he was an existence that could shake the entire land and sky, even his strength could break through heaven.]

"Tch! He or I who is strong, I will prove it myself when the time comes!" Qin Chen was annoyed to hear it, because he did not want there to be a more powerful person on it.
