Chapter 916: Encountering a Heaven Lord
Translator: jinzeffect
20,000 bottles, 50,000 bottles, 100,000 bottles…
Li Fuchen had tested the Divine Leaf Dew and it was indeed very beneficial for cultivation. Even if Li Fuchen didn’t use it himself, he could save it for the Sword Sect.
Therefore, he planned to spend more time harvesting the Divine Leaf Dew.
…
Inside the Divine Leaf City Lord’s residence, there was a giant lake and in the middle of the lake, there was an island.
The island had a pavilion and there were two figures emitting supreme qi presences that were drinking tea and having a conversation.
If there was a saint here, they would be astonished to find out that this giant lake was actually made up of Divine Leaf Dew.
The two figures drinking tea were actually the Divine Leaf City Lord and Myriad Flower Lady.
“Divine Leaf City Lord, 700 peak-grade spirit stones for 1 square should be enough.”
“Myriad Flower Lady, the Divine Leaf Dew is worth 1000 peak-grade spirit stones for each square. 700 peak-grade spirit stones is too little. The previous time we transacted, the price was 780 peak-grade spirit stones.”
“You should also know that after countless years, you have acc.u.mulated a huge amount of Divine Leaf Dew. For so much Divine Leaf Dew to appear in the Divine Leaf City at once, it is already good enough for 1 square of Divine Leaf Dew to be worth 600 to 700 peak-grade spirit stones.”
“Keke, Myriad Flower Lady must be joking. The Divine Leaf Dew isn’t just popular in the Divine Leaf City, it is an important resource in the entire Crosswise River Star Domain and the entire universe. I am giving a discount because Myriad Flower Lady is my friend. If it is other heaven lords, each square will cost at least 900 peak-grade spirit stones and no less.”
“Alright, 750 then.” The Myriad Flower Lady sighed.
She required a huge quant.i.ty, otherwise, she wouldn’t be asking for a discount and embarra.s.sing herself.
“Myriad Flower Lady, are you still going to order 10 million squares like last time?” The Divine Leaf City Lord asked.
“100 million squares.” The Myriad Flower Lady said.
“100 million squares? No wonder…” The Divine Leaf City Lord let out a bitter smile.
100 million squares would cost 75 billion peak-grade spirit stones, it was no wonder she was asking for a huge discount.
“Okay! I shall sell each square for 730 peak-grade spirit stones.” The Divine Leaf City Lord took the initiative to give the discount. “You should know how difficult it is to construct the city on the World Tree’s leaf. 90% of the peak-grade spirit stones I am earning are to maintain the array and to prevent it from breaking down.”
The pressure from the World Tree’s leaf was too powerful, the Divine Leaf City’s array was constantly receiving damage.
When an array wasn’t under any attacks, it could be maintained just by extracting the heaven and earth energy.
But once an intense attack was received, even if the energy pool was filled with energy, the array wouldn’t last for long.
Therefore, the Divine Leaf City Lord had to invest a huge number of peak-grade spirit stones into the energy pool every year.
Apart from that, in order to prevent powerful heaven lords from having intentions on the World Tree’s leaf, the Divine Leaf City Lord established many layers of supreme array at the surface of the Divine Leaf. Each supreme array had a great demand for peak-grade spirit stones and it wouldn’t work if no peak-grade spirit stones were provided.
If it wasn’t for these reasons, the Divine Leaf City Lord wouldn’t even mind giving the Myriad Flower Lady 100 million squares of Divine Leaf Dew.
“Don’t complain about being poor. The entire Crosswise River Star Domain knows you are the wealthiest. Not even the Crosswise River Primogenitor can compare with you.” The Myriad Flower Lady laughed and said.
They might all be heaven lords, but the difference in wealth was still immense.
The difference in wealth was considered small among regular heaven lords.
But once a heaven lord became a universe city lord, their wealth would climb drastically.
It wouldn’t be exaggerated to say that any universe city lord would have 100 times or even 1000 times the wealth of a regular heaven lord.
The wealth of the Divine Leaf City Lord was 10 or 100 times more than other universe city lords.
The Myriad Flower Lady possessed the wither glory power and was able to ma.s.s nurture all sorts of valuable herbs. However, her wealth was still far from being comparable with the Divine Leaf City Lord.
“A commoner is sinful if he hides a jade. I have been living a cautious life for so many years. Sometimes, I envy you people as not everyone is coveting your wealth.” The Divine Leaf City Lord lamented.
According to what he knew, there were only a few World Tree’s leaves in the universe. The others that possessed the World Tree’s leaves were all of the same level as the Crosswise River Primogenitor. Some of them were even half-G.o.ds. The Divine Leaf City Lord was much weaker in comparison and if it wasn’t for the advantage of territory and the extreme-grade supreme rate cardinal artifact, the World Tree’s leaf and the Divine Leaf City would have already changed an owner and he would have been killed a long time ago.
The Myriad Flower Lady fell silent. Many years ago, there was a heaven lord war that happened because of the World Tree’s leaf. She had witnessed the war personally and it was a tragic war with many heaven lords perishing.
Without a doubt, in the distant future, there would definitely be another heaven lord war for this World Tree’s leaf.
After all, the World Tree’s leaf was one of the most superior treasures in the universe.
…
The amount of Divine Leaf Dew produced in a harvesting area was limited. After harvesting 200,000 bottles of Divine Leaf Dew, Li Fuchen felt an obvious drop of 50% in efficiency.
“It seems like I have to change the harvesting area.”
After teleporting out, Li Fuchen headed for the next harvesting area.
Just like that, one year pa.s.sed by and Li Fuchen harvested 500,000 bottles, which was also 50 squares of Divine Leaf Dew.
Li Fuchen stopped here. To be honest, it wasn’t very worth it to spend all his time harvesting the Divine Leaf Dew.
50 squares of Divine Leaf Dew would only be worth 50,000 peak-grade spirit stones.
With his strength, Li Fuchen could earn as many peak-grade spirit stones without harvesting Divine Leaf Dew.
Most importantly, at his level, he knew clearly that strength was the only priority. With strength, wealth would naturally roll in. Without strength, every method used to earn money would be very strenuous.
It could be said that wealth was a reflection of strength. To seek wealth more than strength would be to forsake one’s principle.
If the pressure from the Divine Leaf didn’t provide benefits to his cultivation, Li Fuchen wouldn’t spend an entire year harvesting the Divine Leaf Dew.
“50 squares of Divine Leaf Dew is enough for the Sword Sect to use for a long time.”
Divine Leaf Dew was normally used by saints. When used by people below saints, a single drop would have unbelievable effects. As such, 50 squares would naturally be used for a very long time. Apart from the closest people to Li Fuchen, anyone who wanted to obtain the Divine Leaf Dew would require a huge number of contribution points. Li Fuchen wasn’t going to give it out for free.
At the Swordsmen Guild, after exchanging 1000 bottles of Divine Leaf Dew into 100,000 guild points, Li Fuchen was now officially a low-cla.s.s member. Next up, he would need to pa.s.s the mid-cla.s.s test and high-cla.s.s test in order to continue the promotion.
Inside the test hall…
Bang!
With a casual swing of the sword, Li Fuchen sent the mid-cla.s.s saint puppet flying.
After a short moment, Li Fuchen sent the high-cla.s.s saint puppet flying too.
“Congratulations for officially becoming a high-cla.s.s member of the Swordsmen Guild.” The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord was the tester and he handed Li Fuchen a guild crest.
“Thank you.” Li Fuchen received the guild crest.
“If you wish to continue earning guild points, you will need to complete guild missions.”
“I understand.” Li Fuchen nodded.
In the Swordsmen Guild, the higher the cla.s.s, the greater the benefits.
After reaching morning star-cla.s.s, they could use guild points to exchange for Divine Leaf Sap.
As compared to the Divine Leaf Dew, the Divine Leaf Sap’s value was 10,000 times higher. One bottle of Divine Leaf Sap could be sold for 1000 peak-grade spirit stones in the outside world. It was a pity that the Divine Leaf Sap couldn’t be seen in the market of the Divine Leaf City. It would normally be found in auctions and it would be a morning star-cla.s.s auction.
***
As time pa.s.sed by, Li Fuchen cultivated while he completed multiple guild missions.
During this period of time, he also made a visit back to the Deep Blue Plane.
Originally, Li Tianhan and Shen Yuyan were already at the Primary Sea Realm. Li Tianhan was at 5th level Primary Sea Realm, while Shen Yuyan was at 4th level Primary Sea Realm. After using a huge amount of Divine Leaf Dew, their cultivation had been constantly breaking through. In a short period of time, they would be able to break through to the Law Phase Realm.
The younger sisters Li f.u.xiang and Li Xiaodie had both progressed to Primary Sea Realm after consuming the Divine Leaf Dew.
Shangguan Yu had progressed to the peak level of Law Phase Realm and was just one step away from becoming a Soul Merge Realm saint.
“I might barely be able to make them all become saints. But afterwards, it will depend on their own destiny. If they aren’t fortunate enough, they would have to die of old age sooner or later.”
With Li Fuchen’s capability, he could help a person transform from ordinary bone frame to 8-star bone frame. With the limitless resources and a long period of cultivation, it was entirely possible for anyone to become a saint.
But afterwards, it wasn’t something achievable with just limitless resources.
At the saint’s realm, the higher the level, the higher the demand for talent and perception. It could be said that a 9-star bone frame was the basic requirement at the saint’s realm, but the crucial factor would be perception.
Without a high enough perception, one could only increase their cultivation level. It was basically impossible to achieve significant progress in martial art and cultivation technique proficiency.
By relying purely on increase in cultivation level, the increase in lifespan was limited.
A regular high-level saint would have a lifespan of around 200,000 years.
As for Li Fuchen, his lifespan would be counted in millions of years.
A heaven lord’s lifespan would be counted in tens of millions of years.
After comprehending a supreme cultivation technique, a heaven lord’s lifespan would be the same as the world, making them immortal.
“Forget it, it is still too far away. Perhaps after such a long period of time, I might be able to help my close ones become heaven lords too.”
The greatest motivation of becoming a strong individual was naturally self-satisfaction.
To allow his close ones to live eternally was self-satisfaction for Li Fuchen.
If he couldn’t even alter the fate of his close ones, the meaning of cultivation would be much duller and colorless.
A few more years later, after completing so many guild missions, Li Fuchen was promoted to a 3rd level peak-cla.s.s member. He was not far away from reaching the morning star-cla.s.s.
“He actually encountered a heaven lord?”
On this day, Li Fuchen suddenly frowned.
The information from the Werewolf Li Fuchen had surprised Li Fuchen.
During these years, Werewolf Li Fuchen was sailing smoothly in the Ancient Stone Star Domain. He was earning peak-grade spirit stones much faster than Li Fuchen. His bloodline, which originally had 500 billion black runes, now had 10 trillion black runes. His combat time limit had been increased by over a dozen times and his strength was also significantly stronger.
But Li Fuchen was still rather worried that Werewolf Li Fuchen had encountered a heaven lord so quickly.
No matter what, combat time limit was Werewolf Li Fuchen’s weakness. Heaven lords had inexhaustible energy and could continue fighting forever. Werewolf Li Fuchen could only maintain his pinnacle strength for a period of time. If he wasn’t able to eliminate the enemy or escape within this period of time, he would be killed by the enemy.
“I hope the heaven lord isn’t ridiculously powerful.”
Li Fuchen took a deep breath and deepened the connection with Werewolf Li Fuchen’s spirit soul. The image on the other side was now extremely clear in Li Fuchen’s mind.
