Chapter 317: Offspring of a Beast King?
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li put his mind at ease and started cultivating in his tent, considering that as long as Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were here, he could leave at any minute should there be any dangers.
He took out a Soul Crystal. It was small, only of the size of the nail of a little finger. It was white in color with a soft glow. It was half-transparent, revealing some strange patterns and vines inside.
Lu Li poured his Xuan Energy around the Soul Crystal after he observed it for a bit and then he closed his eyes to sense the crystal. In the Xuan Energy, the Soul Crystal let out gentle white light and then it started to melt, bit by bit. A surge of energy transformed from the melted Soul Crystal and entered Lu Li’s body.
“Um…”
As soon as the energy went in, Lu Li felt a warm sensation, very comfortable. Then he controlled the energy to move towards his brain.
When the energy reached the outside of his Soul Pond, it suddenly glared and sucked the white energy in.
“This is very nice~”
Lu Li felt refreshed and quite comfortable all around his body. He poured more Xuan Energy to quicken the speed.
More white energy entered his body and was absorbed by the Soul Pond. In the time for merely two incense sticks to burn, he had consumed one Soul Crystal.
Lu Li took out three more Soul Crystals from his ring and wanted to consume more. He even moved faster.
However, right at that moment, something happened—the silver dragon mark glowed!
Lu Li was nervous. He focused on the silver dragon mark, thinking that it might impart some more information to him. However, after a while of observation, he realized that the silver dragon mark was absorbing the white energy…
Lu Li was speechless. About half of the white energy from the Soul Crystals was taken by the silver dragon mark.
The cultivation of the Soul Pond Realm was about the soul and Xuan Energy, between which the former one was more important. If the soul was powerful enough, then the warrior’s comprehending abilities would be improved. This could lay a foundation for perceiving Profound Meaning in the future.
To reach the peak of the Soul Pond Realm, the warrior’s soul must be improved by 10 times compared with its original state, which required a lot of Mystical Materials. Lu Li hadn’t cultivated his realm for some time now because he lacked such materials.
Now, he finally got some Soul Crystals and the silver dragon mark wanted some?
Lu Li decided to let it go after some thoughts. He couldn’t control the silver dragon mark even if he wanted to. He couldn’t do anything even if the mark took all the energy, let alone only half.
Lu Li continued to consume Soul Crystals. He was much faster now. He could consume five at once, and his Soul Pond and the silver dragon mark would absorb all the white energy.
In the time for only more than two hours, the more than 20 Soul Crystals were all consumed. After Lu Li stopped, the silver dragon mark dimmed down again and restored to the quiet state, but his Soul Pond was stronger.
Lu Li was overjoyed. He opened his eyes and said to Yu Huashen who was beside him, “Yu Huashen, get me more the Soul Crystals. They are… really useful.”
“Sure thing!”
Yu Huashen nodded. Then he added, “But there aren’t many Soul Crystals near here. I may need to go far. If I run into some Gargoyle Rats, it will take some time. Young Master, if something happens here, you can go and I will find you.”
“Wait!”
Just as Yu Huashen was about to leave, Lu Li thought of Little White which was resting in a corner and he said, “Little White, go with Yu Huashen and help him to collect Soul Crystals, but don’t wander off on your own. Do you understand?”
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White happily nodded its head. Yu Huashen didn’t understand why Lu Li did this. Lu Li whispered to Yu Huashen, “Little White is very good. With it, the Gargoyle Rats will not get close to you. You can get more Soul Crystals more easily. Also… get some Purple Xuan Crystals.”
One Purple Xuan Crystal was equal to 10,000 Xuan Crystals!
Then 10,000 Purple Xuan Crystal would be 100 million Xuan Crystals. How could Lu Li ignore such valuable things? He didn’t even want to leave the Gargoyle Mountain now. This was a wonderful place. If Yu Huashen could get enough Purple Xuan Crystal, they would have their traveling expenses to get to the Mystic Armor Region.
“Really?”
Yu Huashen stared at Little White, stunned. This beast looked nothing different from a regular pet, maybe just some strange appearances, but it could control the Gargoyle Rats?
Ming Yu knew the wonders Little White was capable of. It was a beast that could destroy a Fate Wheel. He nodded to Yu Huashen as a recognition. The latter left with Little White and went out of the valley.
Many warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy saw Yu Huashen go but they didn’t say anything. After all, a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm could survive as long as he was careful.
There were many Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Hao wouldn’t give his consent, those warriors also wanted to go and collect some.
Ming Yu stayed in the tent. He asked after a while, “Young Master, what kind of… Xuan Beast is Little White?”
“I don’t know!” Lu Li said as he shook his head. “I read something on Xuan Beasts, but there is no information about Little White. You can tell that Little White is small for such a long time without changing. Have you ever heard of any Xuan Beasts of such a small size?”
Ming Yu shook his head. He never heard of such things. Lu Li thought about it and said, “But since Little White can control the Gargoyle Rats, it much be over the sixth-rank.”
“Right…”
Ming Yu thought so as well. Then he exclaimed to himself that if Little White was a seventh-rank Xuan Beast, it could be a Beast King. Once it grew up, it would be as powerful as Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
Ming Yu thought of something and he asked, “Young Master, I remember that you found this beast near the Ice Abyss? According to what I know, there was a Beast King that had just given birth there. Do you think Little White is the Beast King’s offspring?”
“I don’t know!”
Lu Li again shook his head. “I was wondering about that, but the Beast King was enormous in size and it was as big as a mountain. Maybe Little White is a newborn but it is just too small…”
Ming Yu couldn’t figure this out. Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Never mind. After a few years, we will find out when Little White grows up.”
Ming Yu nodded in agreement. He sat with his legs crossed and started cultivating. Lu Li did the same thing out of boredom. He cultivated and waited for the return of Yu Huashen and Little White.
Yu Huashen came back at nightfall. As soon as he entered their tent, he said with joy, “Young Master, your beast is amazing. None of the Gargoyle Rats dared to move close to me. I got hundreds of Soul Crystals and nearly 1000 Purple Xuan Crystals. I am here to give you those for you to cultivate first.”
“Alright~”
Lu Li was overjoyed and he praised Little White with a thumb-up. He took over the Soul Crystals, threw two pieces to Little White, but it didn’t eat and instead just burped. Yu Huashen said, “It has been eating all along the way. It must have eaten more than dozens of those.”
“Okay, let it eat.”
Lu Li was very fond of Little White. If it wanted to eat Rising Dragon Grasses, Lu Li would let it if he had dozens of the grasses without a moment’s hesitation.
“Young Master, you continue to cultivate. I will go and get some more.”
Yu Huashen was excited. He once again left the valley with Little White quietly. Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals were good stuff, the more, the better.
