Chapter 256 - Grotto-Heaven Magical Bead (1/2)

Qin Wu’s heart palpitated when he heard that. He could not help but ask, “That many?”

“I need ten Scarlet Blood Divine Pills a day. It’ll take about a year to master it. That’s why I need so many Scarlet Blood Divine Pills,” said Meng Chuan. “If I don’t use them, it will take ten years.”

“Scarlet Blood Divine Pills are for Marquis G.o.dfiends to recover their Quintessential Essence,” said Qin Wu helplessly. “It can completely restore a Marquis G.o.dfiend’s Quintessential Essence reserves in 30 seconds. It’s usually consumed at critical moments. You sure are good… Eating Scarlet Blood Divine Pills like it’s a meal. You have to eat ten pills every day and have to eat it for an entire year.”

Meng Chuan smiled obsequiously.

“You want 3,600? No.” Qin Wu shook his head.

“No?” Meng Chuan was taken aback.

“Such divine pills are rare. Only after finding a batch of materials can a batch of pills be refined,” said Qin Wu. “Now, Archean Mountain only has a stock of about 2,000 Scarlet Blood Divine Pills. Many G.o.dfiends have to exchange for them occasionally. It’s impossible for you to take them all. It’s too wasteful to use them like this.”

Meng Chuan immediately said, “Master, you’re right. However, this disciple’s cultivation of the physical body cultivation system consumes an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of Quintessential Essence. If I rely on recovering my Quintessential Essence naturally, it will take ten years.”

“If this were any other time, it wouldn’t be a big deal to spend ten years.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan and gave him a faint smile. “Now that it’s wartime, it’s indeed best to master it as soon as possible. How about this? I’ll lend you a treasure for a year! Return it to me after the year is up.”

As Qin Wu spoke, he flipped his hand, and a cyan bead, that emitted a glow, appeared in his palm.

Meng Chuan looked at the cyan bead. Meng Chuan could sense the immense power contained within the bead.

“This is the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead,” said Qin Wu. “It contains a pocket grotto-heaven. You can directly devour it and place it in your dantian s.p.a.ce.”

“A small grotto-heaven?” Meng Chuan was shocked. “It can be carried with me?”

“Take it with you,” said Qin Wu. “When you cultivate, you can directly trigger the energy in the pocket grotto-heaven. The Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead’s power is boundless. It’s much more powerful than the Scarlet Blood Divine Pill’s medicinal essence. It’s enough for you to master the Undying realm. Return the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead to me one year later. Of course, the one-year loan will cost you 36 million credits. Are you okay with that?”

Meng Chuan said obediently, “Thank you, Master. I’m naturally okay with that.”

3,600 Scarlet Blood Divine Pills also cost 36 million credits… The Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead loan for a year cost the same.

“Master, other than using its power to cultivate, what other uses does the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead have?” asked Meng Chuan.

“It contains a pocket grotto-heaven that spans 250 kilometers,” said Qin Wu. “Many items can be thrown in directly or hidden in it, living things included. One can plant food inside, so letting hundreds of thousands of people live and reproduce inside it wouldn’t be a problem. Hiding the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead in a remote, uninhabited place and then hiding in it can lead to eternal freedom.”

Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that. A paradise-like place that was outside of this world? “Can I use credits to exchange for it?” asked Meng Chuan. “You can.” Qin Wu smiled at Meng Chuan. “500 million credits.”

Meng Chuan smiled and didn’t say a word.

Over the past ten years, he had only acc.u.mulated about 160 million credits. It was earned from being stationed all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, allowing him to kill many elite demon monarchs. He had handed the treasures left behind by the elite demon monarchs to Archean Mountain. After ten years of hard work, that was all he had acc.u.mulated. He hadn’t spent much credit in this past decade.

Meng Chuan and his wife’s cultivation would be shockingly expensive when they became Regis G.o.dfiends in the future. If they wanted to increase their strength quickly, everything they needed required credit.

A pocket grotto-heaven for 500 million credits? Forget it.

“Remember to return it to me in a year,” said Qin Wu as he handed it over. “This is Archean Mountain’s property.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Meng Chuan obediently received the cyan bead.

He opened his mouth and sucked the cyan bead into his body.

Quintessential Essence wrapped around the cyan bead as it rapidly entered his body. The dantian s.p.a.ce was extremely mysterious, but the cyan bead easily entered.

What a mighty grotto-heaven. Meng Chuan’s consciousness permeated the cyan bead, and he discovered that the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead contained a vast land. There was a ring of nine volcanoes that often erupted. The world’s foundation powers contained within this pocket grotto-heaven were immense and miraculous. It was even more magical than the Scarlet Blood Divine Pills’ medicinal essence. It replenished one’s Quintessential Essence even faster.

“What else do you need?” inquired Qin Wu.

“Once I reach the Undying realm and have a strong body, I can absorb a higher level of baneful aura,” said Meng Chuan. “I wish to place a 100 million credit bounty on five tubes of Extreme Earth Frost baneful aura or three cubes of Turbid Yin Specter baneful aura.”

Qin Wu nodded. “An Undying realm expert can crush Marquis G.o.dfiends with just their bodies. Combat strength is only secondary; an Undying realm expert’s lifeforce is even more impressive. It’s much stronger than the lifeforce of a Regis G.o.dfiend. You will indeed be capable of absorbing a higher level of baneful aura.”
