Chapter 558 - The Princess is Here (1/2)
An hour later, the third Starry River arrived!
BANG! BANG!
As soon as the river appeared, a giant hand grabbed at the river twice at a lightning speed.
The glow emitting from the Starry Stones almost pierced the eyes of the crowd.
Thirty stones in the first attempt!
Second attempt… one hundred and fifty!
It was only the beginning, and one hundred and eighty Starry Stones had been taken, which was more than half of the total amount!
“Quick! There will be none left if we waste any more time!”
“Shit! Who exactly is that formidable cultivator who has been taking all the stones!”
“How unlucky am I to come today?”
“……”
Following a series of grumbles, the crowd immediately made their moves grabbing the stones in an unorganized fashion as if they had gone mad.
Even Di Fengyun quickly took his turn as his heart was filled with a hint of panic.
BANG!
The person in the Left Star superior room struck once again, who ended up taking another fifty Starry Stones from one of the zones!
Upon seeing this, the crowd could feel their chest suffering a heavy blow.
A hundred eighty plus fifty—he had taken a total of two hundred and thirty stones!
Didn’t that imply that the rest of them had to split the remaining seventy stones?
The final outcome was extremely disappointing for the crowd. Most of them failed to acquire even a single Starry Stone, while the formidable ones only managed to obtain five at most!
On a side note, each cultivator was required to pay two thousand Primary Stones to cultivate in a basic room of the Starry Pagoda, let alone the intermediate and advanced rooms.
If they failed to acquire a certain amount of Starry Stones, it would serve as a loss to them.
Even though the experts would suffer some loss normally if they were unlucky, it was not as severe as the one they suffered today!
Even Di Fengyun wore a twisted expression.
The Starry Stones were extremely precious, as they could only be produced by the formation of White Tiger City. Trying to buy them from an external source was as difficult as ascending the Heavens, which was the reason why he was here to cultivate with the help of the Starry Stones!
Little did he expect that he would end up stumbling into such a mysterious powerful presence!
“Without sufficient Starry Stones, it will take me a longer time to master the Martial Skill…”
Di Fengyun mumbled to himself and clenched his fists tightly.
Was he really calm when Xu Ao had told him about Duan Qing? Not at all—his heart was filled with flames of fury!
Why would Zhou Bihua teach Duan Qing the Art of the Vermilion Bird instead of him?
However, as his plan had yet to succeed, he had no way to deal with Zhou Bihua and Duan Qing!
“Fine, patience, patience!”
Di Fengyun took a deep breath to calm his thoughts, before he began cultivating with the Starry Stones.
However, as the crowd was feeling troubled, Qin Nan stared at the pile of Starry Stones before him and shook his head in slight disappointment.
“What a pity, the people here are too powerful and quick in their moves. Otherwise, I could easily have acquired all three hundred Starry Stones from the second and third rivers…” Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
If the crowd were to know his thoughts, it would serve as a powerful stab to their chests.
“Let’s start cultivating!”
Qin Nan soon immersed his thoughts in the process.
This time, he did not spend the time mastering the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird, as the Martial Art was too obscure. He was required to enter a hibernation state for three months and experience ten cycles of life and death in order to master the first-layer of the Martial Art.
However, he did not have enough time now.
Therefore, he was aiming to comprehend the secrets of the Martial Highness Realm!
