Chapter 65: Sudden Wealth
"You know about the Soul Severing Shadow Stone."
Su Xiao calmed his emotions. Even if a Starry Sky Seat member directly took out a [Soul Severing Shadow Stone · Fragment], he wouldn't be surprised.
"I don't know~"
Holy Maiden Seat's smile gradually grew cheerful. This girl held grudges especially well. Since she hadn't managed to buy Black Maple Tree yield from Su Xiao earlier, she was now teasing him.
"..."
Su Xiao fell silent, suppressing the urge to give Holy Maiden Seat a beating. If he ever became strong enough to defeat her in the future, he would definitely beat her up first.
"Holy Maiden Seat, you're still so good with words."
White Bull stood up from his seat. This Starry Sky Banquet was basically over. He still had many matters to attend to and naturally wouldn't stay long.
"Bai Ye, I forgot to tell you something. I've already dealt with the matter over at the Exile Land for you."
"Exile Land?"
Su Xiao looked at White Bull with confusion. He had never heard of the Exile Land.
"It's nothing major. Sefeiliya went to the Exile Land to hire my subordinates to assassinate you. From the looks of it, they all died on the way."
Leaving these words behind, White Bull walked out of the mist wall and left the Starry Sky Seat. The group had already agreed that the next Starry Sky Banquet would be held in one to two months, with the specific time and location yet to be decided.
Strangely enough, the timing of the next Starry Sky Banquet would be decided by Su Xiao and Daomo.
"Although I don't know where you got the Black Maple Tree yield, make sure to bring more next time."
Holy Maiden Seat walked out of the mist wall, then returned after a moment to hand two copies of the [Sacred Flame Baptism] formula to Su Xiao before leaving.
Daomo walked past Su Xiao, and a stinging aura almost brushed against his skin. In the end, Daomo also left the Starry Sky Seat.
If Su Xiao's Black Maple Tree yield was high in quality, then Daomo's Black Maple Tree yield was high in quantity. It was worth noting that ever since Su Xiao officially joined the Starry Sky Seat, if Daomo tried to kill Su Xiao again, he would be surrounded and attacked by the other members until he died. Among the three powerhouses of the Starry Sky Seat, one old fellow hadn't shown up this time.
Before long, only Su Xiao and the Black Mist Figure remained in the Starry Sky Seat. The Black Mist Figure spoke, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"I don't plan on being surrounded by thousands of spellcasters."
"Then wait half an hour. The Annihilation Mist will make the Starry Sky Seat leave this waste star. As for where it goes, that depends on luck."
The Black Mist Figure gradually dissipated. The round stone table and the seven stone chairs around it slowly sank into the ground. Only a stone platform remained in the Starry Sky Seat, surrounded by mist walls, just like the scene when Su Xiao had accidentally entered the Starry Sky Seat that time.
The Starry Sky Banquet was over. Su Xiao felt that the next one might be held within a month at most. Tuanzhang, Holy Maiden Seat, and White Bull all greatly needed Black Maple Tree yield. Previously, the only source of Black Maple Tree yield was Daomo, but because Daomo's mind was only occasionally clear, the supply of Black Maple Tree yield was very limited.
He checked the items he had obtained this time: the half-section finger bone of the First Generation Law Destroyer, plus 300 Soul Crystals (Complete), and the [Sacred Flame Baptism] potion formula.
The information on [First Generation Finger Bone] was a bunch of question marks. How to use this item was something Su Xiao would have to figure out on his own. He felt that this item was related to the Azure Steel Shadow ability. Once he unlocked the secret of the [First Generation Finger Bone], his Azure Steel Shadow would undergo an extraordinary change.
Previously, Su Xiao had always been troubled by not having enough Soul Crystals (Complete). Now, that problem was solved. Raising Blade Technique to Lv.50 required 100 Soul Crystals (Complete) plus 3,000,000 Paradise Coins. At this moment, the Soul Crystals (Complete) Su Xiao held were more than enough even after raising his Blade Grandmaster skill.
This made Su Xiao consider whether he should develop dual Grandmaster abilities. Combining Blade Grandmaster + Melee Grandmaster was feasible, with Blade Technique as the main focus and Melee Grandmaster as a supplement.
Previously, resources were insufficient. After joining the Starry Sky Seat, Su Xiao's resources had begun to overflow.
Su Xiao also noticed one thing: Holy Maiden Seat had a considerable force behind her. She was the Young Miss of that force. That wasn't the most important thing. What mattered was that with Holy Maiden Seat's status and position, she still couldn't find an alchemist in the Void to concoct [Sacred Flame Baptism].
This gave Su Xiao a rough estimate of the Void's alchemy level. After the Second Era: Alchemical Civilization was wiped out, the overall alchemy level of the Void had suffered a devastating blow. The level of Tree Sage basically represented the pinnacle of alchemists in the Void.
If that were really the case, then in the future, the income Su Xiao gained from alchemy at the Starry Sky Banquet might be comparable to his Black Maple Tree yield, or even surpass it. The reason was that his Black Maple Tree was still in its growth stage and had limited output.
This way, he avoided the problem of competing with Daomo. Su Xiao decided to use quality to overcome quantity. The yield from his Black Maple Tree was superior to Daomo's, which White Bull had already confirmed.
Su Xiao would provide high-quality but low-quantity Black Maple Tree yield, while Daomo would win in terms of quantity. This way, the other members of the Starry Sky Banquet could choose according to their needs, avoiding the situation of competing Black Maple Tree yields.
Only Su Xiao remained in the Starry Sky Seat. About half an hour later, the surrounding mist surged. Although there was no spatial fluctuation, Su Xiao inside the Starry Sky Seat could feel that the entire Starry Sky Seat was moving.
Outside the mist wall, a large group of spellcasters were on alert, waiting for Su Xiao to come out of the mist wall. But under the watchful eyes of all the spellcasters, the mist wall that towered into the sky gradually dissipated, revealing a vast, desolate open space.
"Disappeared? That's it?"
"Sefeiliya, you made us rush to this waste star just to let us witness this? To come and reinforce you, I interrupted the mana extraction reaction experiment in my magic tower."
"I performed nine spatial jumps to get here from the Ice Valley."
The spellcasters' accusations left Sefeiliya speechless. She could only stand there in silence.
The gaze beneath Sefeiliya's hood was cold, but it could hardly conceal the fear in her heart. She still remembered that when she first saw Su Xiao at the Void Arena, he was an ant that could be crushed at will. But when they met again during the Strongest Warrior Battle, Sefeiliya was shocked to find that the ant in her eyes had already become somewhat powerful.
Now, when Sefeiliya saw the corpses of those hundred-plus spellcasters, their deathly appearances awakened the fear buried deep in her heart.
This made Sefeiliya wonder if, after some more time, when she met that Law Destroyer again, would she still be a match for him? Would she become the one being hunted?
...
[You have returned to Reincarnation Paradise. Remaining stay time: 5 hours 26 minutes.]
In his Exclusive Room, Su Xiao, who had just finished spatial teleportation, sat on the sofa with a less-than-pleasant expression. Just now, he had almost fallen into a large black vortex.
After the Starry Sky Seat had finished moving, he had just stepped out of the mist wall when he stepped into empty air. He couldn't see the surroundings clearly, only a large black vortex below him.
Su Xiao was certain that if he fell into that vortex, he would either die or lose half his life. Fortunately, he had activated the return authority in time.
His stay time was limited. When it ended, Su Xiao would enter a new world. Thinking of this, he took out the 300 Soul Crystals (Complete) he had obtained from his storage space.
No matter how many Soul Crystals (Complete) he had, Su Xiao could use them up in a short time. Not just 300, even if it were a thousand, he could consume them all quickly.
He checked his remaining Soul Coins. Due to the previous purchase of recovery items, he only had 120 left. He exchanged them with Reincarnation Paradise at a rate of 1 Soul Coin for 150,000 Paradise Coins, obtaining 7,800,000 Paradise Coins.
With everything ready, Su Xiao began to enhance his abilities.
[Do you wish to upgrade Blade Grandmaster Lv.49? Upgrading this ability requires Soul Crystal · Complete × 100 + 3,000,000 Paradise Coins.]
