Chapter 1087: How to Become Rich Quickly?

"It's showing again!" Krune shouted excitedly, jumping around in the air as his wisp form spun around Feifei's head, almost causing her vision to spin as her sight was focused on him.

Currently, they were seated within the Cloud Whale, traveling upstream the Gargantuan River that resembled a sea due to how wide it was. It was faster traveling atop the Cloud Whale as they could easily minimize the time it took for them to travel.

After all, no ship or boat was capable of traveling as fast. It had been three days since they began their journey. All this time, every time Krune had enough energy to use his Soul Needle, he did exactly that, watching it point excitedly.

Without any suspense, the husband and wife traveled in the pointed direction, digging up treasures. Most of them were Rank One Spirit Stones. However, there were also some pills, secret manuals, weapons, etc.

Basically, anything that had been lost or buried in history was dug up by them, profiting tremendously. After all, by the end of the first day, Feifei had run out of space in her storage ring, causing her to exclaim, "With the Soul Needle, we never need to work ever again. Just digging up treasures is more than enough."

"You're right about that. This is such a cheat." Krune laughed, clearly excited about being able to move in his natural form freely. Moreover, remaining as a human permanently in Layer 2 and 3 had been constricting.

After all, they had affected his mind a lot, causing him to think like a human and feel human emotions. That wasn't his core self. Therefore, now that he had returned to his wisp form, Krune felt like he had been liberated.

That's why he was chirpy, feeling like the murkiness of human emotions was slowly being shed from him. He was gradually returning to his natural self, his regular state of mind.

The insides of the Cloud Whale were now filled with numerous bags containing the treasures they had looted. Nevertheless, even though they had a tremendous pile of resources now, they couldn't cultivate.

After all, the ground level was only for mortals and cultivators at the First Stage of Qi Condensation. They were already at that stage. Considering their talents, they would reach the Second Stage of Qi Condensation naturally.

So, they had to restrict themselves until they obtained a Spiritual Mark. Considering how it was touted to be powerful, the two of them were definitely interested. Moreover, just the fact that they could grow even stronger excited them.

After Feifei told Krune of her circumstances, they decided to become as strong as possible before returning to the God Realm. And in the future, when Feifei's enemies discovered her and arrived to attack her, they would be prepared.

Since the Spiritual Mark allowed them to possess a trump card, they placed a high priority on it.

As the Cloud Whale flew atop the Gargantuan River, they came across a port city five days later. It was a massive city that was the hub of commerce. Situated on the Gargantuan River and positioned as the final stop before the Alacatra Ruins, it was tremendously popular.

After all, everyone that wished to visit the Alacatra Ruins arrived at this city even once, just to probe for information or buy any treasures that might help protect their lives.

As for Krune and Feifei, they swiftly arrived at the city and browsed through some of the most expensive shops. However, upon seeing that the Soul Needle didn't react, they judged that the treasures at the place weren't anything spectacular.

So, all they did was use their wealth to buy a house and dump all their useless treasures there. After all, it wasn't possible to just carry them all with them. Anything of value was already stored in Feifei's storage ring.

The rest were just baggage.

"Maybe if there is someone lucky, they'll stumble upon all these goods," Krune casually muttered as he and Feifei boarded the Cloud Whale, speeding towards the Alacatra Ruins. Along the way, he relied on the Rank One Spirit Stones to replenish his energy expenditure.

A month after they had begun their journey, the Cloud Whale arrived atop a vast plateau that was surrounded by a mountain range on all sides, blocking it from view. Unsurprisingly, the area spanned by this mountain range was enormous, ranging in the dozens of thousands of kilometers.

"There's the entrance." Feifei pointed at a small opening near the mountain range, noticing the crowd of people that had been gathered below in surprise. "There's at least twenty to thirty million here. What the heck is this?"

"It seems the allure of the Spiritual Mark is greater than we had thought. Due to this crowd, the entrance probably never even closed for a long time." Krune sighed. "The competition is going to be harsh. I hope everything your friend said works."

"That's the problem." Feifei frowned, clutching a scroll in her hands, "Even if everything works the same, we still have no other choice but to face it head-on."

"Right, this is truly troublesome," Krune sighed as he replied. During their journey, they had read through the scroll containing Old Peun's experiences numerous times. And in the end, all they could conclude was one thing...

It didn't mean much!

The Alacatra Ruins was basically a death zone where mortals and cultivators had to survive death one after another. Every form of death one could encounter was present here. On top of that, the fields of death they would encounter were random.

So, Old Peun's experiences didn't give them any advantages.

"Then again, just the fact that the ruins would be trying to kill us using every method in the book is helpful," Krune concluded. "At least, we can prepare our minds accordingly and head in knowing very well of what to expect."

"I am just afraid of one thing," Feifei sighed. "Strength is irrelevant there. So, I don't wish for you to plunge yourself needlessly in danger. Even without a Spiritual Mark, you're already tremendously powerful, Krune."

"Being vulnerable is the essence of being a wisp." Krune laughed as he told her, "Besides, I think it would be a learning experience to return to my roots once again."
