Chapter 336: The Truth
Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong
"I have to figure it out right away." Qian Jin thought as he wasn’t at ease. That magic array frightened him. When that array appeared on Luna’s forehead, it gave him a desperate feel.
"Qian Jin..." Duren Burg asked with a concerned expression on his face, "Are you ok?"
Qian Jin shook his head powerlessly. "Ok? Definitely not. But that Golden Winged Thunder Eagle warned me and there would be no use if I chased after her. I don’t know what to do." He thought.
In order to figure everything out, he could either ask his Rune Master about it or he could capture that woman who was Luna or a look-a-like using special tools. There was no way that he could capture her in a battle.
That self-destructive battle style meant there could only be death as the final outcome, she couldn’t be captured alive.
"I will work on my techniques alone." Qian Jin dug out a pit and jumped into it. He looked up at Duren Burg and said, "Don’t worry, I’m ok."
Lucifer Lucy laughed at what Qian Jin said. "How can he say that when he is in this mood? But who is that girl? She doesn’t seem like she is alive." She thought.
The golden dry sand quickly buried Qian Jin and Pam Honzi who saw this frowned. "This training method is useful for Fanta Kunge and Duren Burg. But to Qian Jin? I don’t think it is useful." He thought. Pam Honzi shook his head as he saw Fanta Kunge who also buried himself in the sand. "This is the determination of this ordinary warrior? Does he want to defeat a Bloodline Warrior that bad? Is that why he dare bury himself into the Ancient Desert Sea that is extremely hot during the daytime and extremely cold during night time?" He thought.
Even the young Bloodline Warriors of the Pam Family didn’t dare to do something like this. This crazy training method may result in fast improvement in strength, but it would damage the internal organs. The bones, muscles, and organs of the warrior who trained like this would deteriorate and age a lot faster than his or her peers.
"When it is cold, let alone a rainy day..." Pam Honzi shook his head as he thought, "These young warriors would feel so much pain and they are essentially burning their life energy... but wait."
Pam Honzi looked at the location in the desert where Qian Jin was. He realized that the reason why these young warriors dare to do this was because Qian Jin was a high-level pharmacist that mastered all fields.
As long as a ton of potions that were beneficial to the body were taken after training, the damage would be reduced and even eliminated.
A regular high-level pharmacist can only use precious ingredients to make potions that the warriors and mages needed. Due to this reason, the high-level potions were much rarer. Even though Bloodline Families were able to get high-level pharmacists to work for them, they couldn’t produce a ton of good potions due to the low stock of ingredients.
Since high-level potions couldn’t be made, even Bloodline Warriors couldn’t train like this, which was half-suicide.
Pam Honzi laughed as he thought about that. He had also thought about training this way as well and so did other Bloodline Families. They all wanted to use the ferocious conditions to put them on the verge of death to boost their potential and realize more improvement.
However, due to the rare high-level potions, numerous Bloodline Families who had high goals had to give up on the intriguing training method.
But now? Pam Honzi laughed. The appearance of Qian Jin had solved a part of the problem a ton of Bloodline Family had. Qian Jin was able to make high-level potions from somewhat regular ingredients.
Even though the high-level potions couldn’t be ma.s.s produced... Pam Honzi calculated in his mind. "Qian Jin should be able to make one or two months of potions for 100 people, right?"
"What a surprise. This little ally is able to bring me more and more unexpected gifts." Pam Honzi looked at the star as he thought, "Ancestors of the Pam Family, just witness everything from the sky. I, Pam Honzi, will become the most outstanding leader of the Pam Family! Under my leaders.h.i.+p, the Pam Family will reach new heights!"
100 to 200 elite Hydra Bloodline Warriors, get them off of Human-Demon Battlefront, give them the potions and throw them into this Ancient Desert Sea. Do this once every year or every two years...
Pam Honzi got excited just thinking about it. Even if the Hydra Family didn’t have a Bloodline Warrior who achieved the ultimate awakening, Hydra Family would still have the most powerful troops in the entire Zence.
Also... Pam Honzi looked at where Qian Jin was and thought, "That boy who knows Mystic Pharmaceuticals always create miracles. If Duren Burg is around him, wouldn’t he try to help Burg achieved the Ultimate Awakening when it was about time?"
"Too bad I have to protect them in the dark and can’t leave. Otherwise..." Pam Honzi wondered as he looked into Ancient Desert Sea. "I have entered this desert for a kilometer before, but I hadn’t encountered something this strange. Why did that girl give me a strange feeling? Why did I have the impulse of killing her when I saw her?"
Pam Honzi lied down and looked at the stars again. "I was a little worried? What a joke, why would I, the leader of the Pam Family be afraid of a little girl? But what was that ability? I have never seen it before. Also, the feeling of her Warrior Power was annoying and so was the Magic Array on her forehead... What was that?"
"What was that?" Akenash engraved various symbols and characters onto the s.h.i.+eld that Blake forged as she asked. Without looking up, she said, "Draw it out for me."
The magic array on Lucifer Nihan’s forehead was very complicated and detailed.
Qian Jin had learned about the magic arrays for a while now and he knew that a single mistake in his drawing might result in a different magic array in a master’s eyes.
One minute... ten minutes... one hour... two hours...
Akenash put down her carving knife out of curiosity. She knew that Qian Jin’s control and memory were both outstanding and a normal magic array won’t take him this long.
There was only one possibility and that was because the array was so complicated that Qian Jin couldn’t manage it.
Qian Jin was carefully drawing out the array. Although he was not carving on a piece of metal rather on a sandbox that apprentices used, it was still very hard to draw it out. He couldn’t imagine how Akenash could engrave complete arrays onto metal objects Blake forged.
"This..." A serious expression appeared on her face. She squatted down and grabbed the carving knife from Qian Jin. Then, she started to quickly draw out the rest of the magic array that would take Qian Jin forever.
One, two, three...
A series of magic arrays that looked similar but were very different appeared in front of Qian Jin.
The fifth! Qian Jin’s eyes shone as he saw the fifth array that Akenash completed. That was the magic array that was on Lucifer Nihan’s forehead.
The seventh... Sweat covered Qian Jin’s palm. This... this was the magic array on the forehead of Luna. From Akenash’s technique, the magic array on Luna’s head was on a higher-level compared with Lucifer Nihan’s.
"What? This one?" On Akenash’s child-like face, a serious and troubled expression appeared as she pointed at the seventh array.
Qian Jin nodded as he also pointed at the fifth array. "Also this one." He said.
"So you want to know what this is." Child-like expression disappeared from her face, and she stared at Qian Jin with her sharp eyes. "You’ve seen this? One appeared on a skeleton and one appeared on someone who looked like a live person, right?"
"Looks like a live person?" Gooseb.u.mps appeared on Qian Jin’s skin. He was able to tell the difference between a live person and someone who looks like a live person.
From Qian Jin’s reaction, Akenash nodded and murmured, "Looks like you really saw it."
"Saw what?" Qian Jin asked with a timid and quiet voice.
"What do you think?" Akenash rolled her eyes as she asked, "What do you think? Undead, undead creatures."
"Undead creatures?" A shock went through his body, similar to the shook that went through people at the Pam Family when they knew about his abilities. He said to Akenash, "Impossible that is impossible. When someone dies, they would return to the stars... how..."
Akenash looked at Qian Jin quietly as she said, "You want to deny the existence of undead? Or you believe in their existence but want to deny your own thoughts?"
Qian Jin s.h.i.+vered as he looked at Akenash’s child-like face. If he only encountered Lucifer Nihan, then he would be more than happy to admit that the undead existed. Although the mysterious undead was deemed evil in the stories, people were attracted by the mystery and wanted to get in contact with that forbidden race.
But now, Qian Jin didn’t want to believe it. If there were undead creatures and the magic arrays resembled them, then Luna... what would that mean?
"These magic arrays represented a different level of power." Akenash pointed at the first array and explained. "This is the weakest, it would usually appear on the lowest level of the undead and they were usually skeletons that were missing bones."
"This one here is a little bit better. In terms of the fifth one, it is still not that good. It would be considered as a failed project. It should maintain all the strength of the creature when it was still alive, but since this project failed, the creature’s strength would decrease as time pa.s.sed."
