Chapter 23: Collect the Ingredients
Ding
[Get one Divinity, you will get 15,000 Karma Points and 7,500 Charm Points.]
"There's this mission too..." Qin Yuan couldn't help but be delighted.
[This mission will still appear even if you can't do it as long as you arrive on this continent.] The system answered.
"Yeah, that means I have nothing to lose."
Qin Yuan then stepped into the city.
It's as big as his city.
The buildings in this city are black and each one is quite tall.
Along the city streets, many statues have been slightly damaged.
Qin Yuan had a good memory of this city, so he knew every important place here.
After a while of wandering around, he arrived at a shop on a very quiet street.
A young man sat by the door of the shop, drinking wine while reading a book.
Seeing Qin Yuan and the other two, he quickly stood up.
"Gentlemen, is there something you guys are looking for?" he asked politely.
"Summon your master here," the Purple Ocean Dragon replied.
The young man was a little surprised because his master was not a random figure, he couldn't help but ask "who are you?"
The Purple Ocean Dragon looked displeased that the young man asked, he glared and snorted. "Brat, no need to ask, don't delay our time, quickly call your master or I will break his legs every time he delays our time."
"You..." The youth might have been offended by the Purple Sea Dragon's words, but he didn't dare to speak any more as his gaze gave him an extremely terrifying feeling.
"P-please wait a moment," he said.
He stepped into the sky and flew at high speed towards the west.
Some time later, a hoarse voice suddenly resounded from there. "Hmph, who wants to break my legs."
Immediately after that a giant centipede that had a pair of golden wings came over.
It had a very long body, easily encircling the city as it moved.
When its head came down to the city, the people fell from being too scared.
"Gold-Winged Centipede, a Seventh Stage Divine Beast," said several generations of elders.
"Who is so stupid as to provoke him, I heard he is very cruel and merciless."
"Damn, I hope he won't take his anger out on this town."
Even the Saint Ancestors who happened to be in the city were worried and started trying to run.
However, before the centipede found the person it was looking for, a gigantic palm suddenly appeared in the sky.
It descended very quickly and slapped the centipede's head.
Bang...
The head of the centipede fell in the center of the city, destroying many buildings before sinking into the ground.
"Oh my God, whose paln is that..."
The panicked people opened their mouths in surprise.
"This idiot, dares to boast with such meager strength," said the Purple Ocean Dragon.
He then stretched out his hand to the centipede.
The hand quickly enlarged and turned into a dragon hand full of purple scales.
It grabbed the centipede's neck then pulled it so violently that the centipede screamed in pain.
Outside the city, the previous youth opened his mouth wide when he saw a dragon hand pulling his master's neck towards his shop.
When it arrived in front of Qin Yuan and the others, the head of the centipede turned into the head of a sharp-nosed old man.
He had neatly arranged golden teeth.
His eyes widened as he saw the three people standing in front of him.
He quickly changed into his human form and cupped his fists in a salute.
"Eternal Star Venerable, I didn't know it was you, please forgive me," he said to Qin Yuan in a tone like he was about to cry.
He glanced at his face secretly, looking to see if he was angry.
But Qin Yuan only smiled faintly. "Ti Tu, you have an expression as if I want to kill you. I came with no ill intentions at all, I just wanted to buy your Divine Black Diamond..."
"Buying my Divine Black Diamond?" Ti Tu was a bit surprised.
"Yeah, don't you want to sell it... I'll buy it at the price you want."
"Is that true?"
He was starting to look happy but still doubtful.
It was the same for the Purple Ocean Dragon and the Directionless Monk.
Qin Yuan took out a Storage Ring and threw it at Ti Tu. He said, "everything you want is there."
Ti Tu who received the ring immediately examined it, causing his eyes to shine brightly.
His old face smiled brightly, "y-you're really going to give all of this to me?" he asked.
But after asking that, he quickly took out a ring.
"Here, I'll give it to you."
Qin Yuan took the ring. He nodded with a faint smile.
This Divine Black Diamond was extremely rare but until now, no one had actually been able to use it because of how hard it was.
It also lacked energy and refining it required too much time whereas the resulting effect was insignificant.
Even though people knew it was something of value, because no one was really fit to use it, no one was willing to pay a heavy price for it.
However, due to its rarity, those who managed to get it were also unwilling to sell it cheaply.
Qin Yuan didn't mind the price because to him it was the main ingredient needed to cultivate the Immortal Diamond Body.
'Besides this, I still need the Supreme Spiritual Stone Source and the Holy Spring.'
Qin Yuan's gaze pierced through time and space until it reached a mountain with a huge hole in the center.
The hole was not created naturally, it was the result of years of mining by people.
Deep in the depths of the mine, there was a small white stone that was continuously emitting light. The light condensed into dust which then turned to stone.
The problem was that each stone was a Supreme Spiritual Stone, something that was worth no less than a world, so the source was naturally much more valuable. It also only exists in this Divine Continent.
But even in the entire Divine Continent, the number of Supreme Spiritual Stones Source is less than 100. And only experts at the Eternal Saint Ancestor level are strong enough to take them.
So far, several Supreme Spiritual Stones Source have been retrieved. And every time one source was taken, the energy in the Divine Continent became more chaotic.
Lots of speculation about that. People believed that if all of the Supreme Spiritual Stones Source were taken away, there would be a disaster.
Whether it was true or not, Qin Yuan had no interest in thinking about it because he really needed it.
He thought it was fine to take one for now.
In fact, there was a tacit agreement among several experts of his level that they could take one if they really needed it.
Qin Yuan took a deep breath before extending his hand towards the mine.
Rumble...
Space trembled while the land shattered.
No one knew what had happened except for those with the Heavenly Eyes.
They saw an extremely terrifying power pierce through space, then pierce through the mine until it reached its deepest depths.
A palm then appeared beside the white stome under the mine and grabbed it.
When Qin Yuan tried to pull out the stone, the entire mine started to shake.
"He wants to take the Supreme Spiritual Stone Source, what the heck is he." The experts peeking from afar were shocked and panicked.
Some even stood up and took weapons but sat down again when they realized they were only going to seek death.
