Chapter 812: A Thousand of Me Cultivating at the Same Time! (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation ‘ Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Each piece of Myriad Bamboo was no wider than an adult’s thumb and barely over three inches long.
As a Fourth-Grade spiritual material, Myriad Bamboo grew exceptionally slowly. Even within a top-tier Fourth-Grade secret realm, achieving Myriad Bamboo of this size required a considerable amount of time.
“Thank you, Elder Yang!” Chen Fei expressed his grat.i.tude with a bow.
“It’s my duty,” Elder Yang waved his hand dismissively.
Moments later, Chen Fei left the Mission Hall. Instead of returning to Thousand Geese City, he flew towards the direction of Green Cloud Market.
Thirty pieces of Myriad Bamboo could only create thirty Myriad Clones, just enough to slightly accelerate Chen Fei’s current progress in comprehending martial arts.
To achieve a qualitative change, what was needed was quant.i.ty.
Not to mention the over one thousand Myriad Clones like Dream Shadow Master, but at least close to a hundred would bring faster results.
Of course, compared to his own standards, Chen Fei’s thirty Myriad Clones collectively comprehending martial arts was already efficient for other Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners.
In less than half an hour, Chen Fei landed outside a city. This was the newly built Green Cloud Market.
In just a few short months, the scale of this market had surpa.s.sed any other on the Middle Continent Chen Fei had seen before. As he looked around, the city bustled with people.
The lowest cultivation was at the Combined Apertured Tempering realm, with Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners commonplace.
Stalls lined the streets, while behind them stood shops.
These shops were mostly established by top powers, the only ones with enough resources to operate here and trade freely.
Chen Fei didn’t bother with individual sellers; while Myriad Bamboo was expensive, it wasn’t rare enough to be unavailable in shops.
His concern lay in how much he could afford with the premium elemental stones in his pocket.
After a while, Chen Fei emerged from the first shop.
Before buying, he had asked about the prices.
With limited funds, Chen Fei had to opt for the cheaper options.
Since acc.u.mulating over ten thousand premium elemental stones, Chen Fei had long forgotten what it felt like to be short of money. Unexpectedly, because of a martial art, Chen Fei was reminded of that awful feeling.
Spending an hour, Chen Fei had walked through the entire Green Cloud Market, eventually returning to one shop.
“Sir, what can I help you with?”
The shopkeeper saw Chen Fei return and maintained his warm smile.
Mid-level Mountain Sea Realm cultivators were not uncommon in the Sacred City, but familiarity did not lead to neglect.
“I’ll take twenty pieces of Myriad Bamboo, but you’ll need to lower the price on each piece!” Chen Fei stated firmly.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei left the shop.
He had acquired twenty pieces of Myriad Bamboo, but after selling off all the valuable spiritual materials he had, he was left with just over a hundred premium elemental stones as backup.
As for the spiritual treasures he had seized from other Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners when he defeated them, those had already been sold off in other shops.
With all his a.s.sets combined, including his contribution points, he had only managed to obtain fifty pieces of Myriad Bamboo. How much more money would it take to match the glory of Dream Shadow Master’s past?
111 have to make a trip back to the Thousand Feathers Alliance soon. The Wolf Tooth Clubs used by those creatures of the Black Divine can fetch quite a few premium elemental stones when sold, and the purified spiritual essences extracted from them can also bring in money!”
The creatures of the Black Divine were miserly; they neither used weapons nor could extract spiritual essences themselves, making them almost penniless. Their only occasional source of contribution points came from missions a.s.signed by the Mission Hall.
Compared to the creatures of the Black Divine, the creatures at the Thousand Feathers Alliance altar were remarkably generous.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he left Green Cloud Market, then soared into the air towards the direction of Thousand Geese City.
With fifty pieces of Myriad Bamboo in hand, acquired at the cost of all his a.s.sets, Chen Fei was eager to test their effectiveness.
If they performed as expected, that would be fine, but if they didn’t meet his satisfaction…
Then Chen Fei would have to work even harder to earn money, stacking up Myriad Clones to their full potential. After all, solving problems with money was relatively straightforward.
After more than half an hour, the outline of Thousand Geese City came into view. Chen Fei glanced back towards the direction of Jade Spring Valley, Recalling recent events, he opened his palm, revealing the Black Divine pattern. After a moment’s hesitation, Chen Fei invoked the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, attempting to connect with the generalized consciousness of the Black Divine.
Those who pledged allegiance to the Black Divine couldn’t sense each other, eliminating hierarchical concerns among followers if one were caught.
However, there was indeed a method for Black Divine followers to recognize each other.
Other followers wouldn’t consider this issue because while their spiritual wisdom hadn’t changed, their underlying logic was completely loyal to the Black Divine.
Just like Leixie Tiger and Nie Li, two monsters who wouldn’t betray Chen Fei now.
Seeking out other Black Divine followers could arouse suspicion in the Sacred City, so instinctively, Black Divine followers would reject such actions, as it would complicate the Black Divine’s occupation of the Boundless Sea.
But Chen Fei had no such concerns; after all, he hadn’t truly pledged himself to the Black Divine.
Activating the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, he wove the power of dreams into a net, slowly probing into his palm and gently pulling at the Black Divine pattern.
The Black Divine pattern in his palm trembled lightly. This slight tremor wouldn’t attract the attention of the generalized Black Divine consciousness, as it was too subtle, especially here in the Sacred City, where the influence of the generalized Black Divine consciousness was weakest.
However, this tremor was enough to resonate with similar Black Divine patterns nearby.
Like a spider’s web, when one end was gently pulled, nearby positions inevitably sensed the disturbance. Those bearing the Black Divine pattern were already interconnected within this web.
“Buzz!”
An imperceptible ripple emanated from Chen Fei’s palm, silently spreading through the depths of s.p.a.ce.
The power of dreams cultivated through the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was the most sensitive and subtle aspect of Chen Fei’s current strength system. Without it, he couldn’t stealthily probe into others’ souls.
The faint resonance of the Black Divine pattern was difficult to detect with other means, but because Chen Fei had previously laid down the dream net, it trembled in tandem with the Black Divine pattern.
At this moment, the dream net, directed towards Jade Spring Valley, trembled slightly.
It was a fleeting movement, almost imperceptible to an untrained eye.
Chen Fei relaxed the power of the dream in his hand, and the Black Divine pattern ceased its trembling, returning to calmness.
Employing Moving Through Nothing, Chen Fei vanished, reappearing in another direction. He used the same method to probe once more. The spot where the dream net trembled remained in Jade Spring Valley.
“It’s really you!”
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes. His earlier suspicions were now confirmed! Jade
Spring Valley was calling out the thieves!
Without the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, Chen Fei wouldn’t have had a reliable method to confirm who among them had pledged themselves to the Black Divine.
Now equipped with this technique, Chen Fei had gained an advantage, ensuring he wouldn’t be misled by followers of the Black Divine in the future.
Glancing once more at Jade Spring Valley through a rift in the void, Chen Fei turned towards Thousand Geese City.
For now, Jade Spring Valley could wait. Chen Fei needed to first test the effectiveness of the Myriad Clones.
