Chapter 9: assie
Qin Lie’s haul was a total of forty-seven pris beast cores, plucked fro Condors Tu Ze’s group of seven truly did not place those beast cores in their eyes They just joked around with s
Dusk was approaching, yet none of thee They sat down in a circle at a dry clearing nearby
If it was just Tu Ze’s group of seven, they wouldn't have dared to stayed the night here However, everything was different with the presence of Qin Lie His ability toCondors reassured thehtest fearful of any potential attacks fro for the arrival of other condors so that they would be able to witness Qin Lie’s er to see his mysterious spirit artifact in action
They made a fire, set up some simple tents and seated themselves around the fire in a small circle As for their food, they barbecued a dozen wild hares and pheasants that were easily hunted Cheer and laughter rang about as they indulged in hard liquor andTown and Herb Mountain, Qin Lie no longer restrained himself He reverted back into the boisterous, passionate youth that he really was, hitting it off with Tu Ze’s group of seven in no tiradually loosened up after a couple mouthfuls of liquor Qin Lie properly introduced hi Lie”, and that he was fro Town He further explained that he cae to polish hisTown, Tu Ze brimmed armth and said with a smile, ”Haha, we are all allies!”
At this, the reainst hie spanned five hundred kilometers and was occupied by various distribution of powers Nebula Pavilion was just one of the low level forces in the area If Qin Lie was a martial practitioner from a rival force, it would definitely be inappropriate to interact so closely with hiularly over stuff like spirit ores, territories and cultivation hotspots The skirly year-round!
There were even some forces that became irreconcilable enemies because of that If such enemies met, neither would rest until a side was annihilated It was simply impossible for theion had always been under the control of Nebula Pavilion, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t con forces
Therefore, when they were resting, Tu Ze’s pressing concern was Qin Lie’s identity After knowing Qin Lie was fro Family, he was completely relieved
Nebula Pavilion was aa ranked force meant that even the weakest of theth
The raded in order of their strength Starting from the lowest, the ranks were respectively Limestone, Black Iron, Copper, Silver, and Gold Strict requirements were in place for each rank, and the difference in strength between ranks were extrenificant
Theto forces at the Li Realm There were rarely any practitioners at the Manifestation Realm that would stay at such forces per, once a practitioner broke through to the Manifestation Realm, they would be recruited by Black Iron ranked forces, directly entering a whole new domain for martial practitioners
As for Black Iron ranked forces, the majority of their martial practitioners were at the Manifestation and Netherpassage Realh to the Fulfillment Realm, they would siain access to more resources in a bid to raise their cultivation levels at an even faster pace
It was no different for the Copper, Silver and the legendary Gold ranked forces They each accos of e portion of martial practitioners in Copper ranked forces were at the Fulfillmentation Realms Similarly, Silver ranked forces’ practitioners were endary Gold ranked forces, they were viewed as the holy land of cultivation, consisting of top martial practitioner powerhouses at the Void and Genesis Realms
Due to the distribution of power, her ranked poith dependents of a lower rank beneath thehout the rankings, keeping a balance between powers
For exaher ranked force, receiving both protection and restraints, it also had its own dependents… Ling Family and a few other minor forces were ruled by Nebula Pavilion, and they had to offer tributes yearly
After they ate and drank their fill, the group of youths laid down lazily, stargazing through the dense forest canopy
“It’s been three months already If we still aren’t able to find the Stellar Iron, the only option left is to return” Tu Ze exhaled audibly, ”Without the Stellar Iron, I can’t produce the kind of spirit artifact I want, sigh”
“We can only leave such ed to couarantee that ill be able find some too Ultimately, Stellar Iron is a Common Grade Seven artifact material, which is considered to be rare For all you know, all of them had been harvested by the very same person who had come across it first Why would any of it be left for us?” Zhuo Qian gallantly took a long draught from her wineskin, and commented somewhat irritably
The harsh liquor ht shade of red Her pair of sparkling eyes were half-closed as she reveled in the intoxication, looking extre Zhi and a few youths flickered about unceasingly, trying to sneak as lances of her as they could
Possibly due to the alcohol, Zhuo Qian paid no attention to her bearings Her exquisite piece of body arhtly cracked fro a s the heartbeats of Kang Zhi and the rest spiraling out of control
“Stellar Iron…” whispered Qin Lie as he too, took a draught of the liquor Retrieving the infore, there’s a valley forty kilometers ahead In the middle of that valley is a lake, and at the bottoht be some Stellar Iron”
“Who told you this?!” Tu Ze hurriedly stood up upon hearing this, appearing extrerandpa was the one who told o there uarantees from me” Qin Lie stated
“This is definitely better than wandering about aimlessly!” Zhuo Qian’s face lit up in joy as she tossed her wineskin to Qin Lie and spoke in a carefree manner: “I’ll treat you to soe to find so Brother Tu here will definitely not be stingy”
“Of course!” Tu Ze patted Qin Lie’s shoulder heavily and said with a giant grin: “Lie boy here is our lucky star!”
“Drink, drink!” Kang Zhi and the rest cheered
Qin Lie was startled as he held the wineskin in his hands Catching the ed at the liquor For a rant aroentle ripple stirred in his heart, as distracting thoughts surfaced involuntarily
Noticing Qin Lie’s expression, Zhuo Qian chuckled charestured unrestrainedly, ”You’re quite interesting! Hah, e find the Stellar Iron, big sister here will treat you to another drink!”
“Sure” Qin Lie replied betweenZhi and the others fell soundly asleep, accoh the otherwise silent night
