“99 pearls of the Deep Abyss.

“Bone powder of the Wilderness’ Vehement Bird, 22 kilograms.

“Two eyes of the Southern Seas’ Great Kun [1].”

The materials required for Fang Xingjian to cultivate the mystical prints were brought into his room in succession. Looking at the various mysterious treasures, even the eyes of Robert, who had purchased these items himself, filled with astonishment and envy.

These materials for cultivating the first level of the mystical prints cost Fang Xingjian 98,000 gold. Each of them was a rare and valuable heavenly and earthly treasure.

Even the food which Fang Xingjian ate daily in the Regional Academy could not be compared to these.

Fang Xingjian randomly picked up a box and saw that there was a pellet stored in it. The entire pellet was a translucent amber color with a wine-colored liquid swirling inside.

“Blood of Divinity, a medicinal pill concocted from a plant in the northernmost region. Taking it allows one’s body to go through a complete transformation, and it can increase the human body’s potential greatly. Just this one pill alone cost 12,000 gold. This amount is something which a Knight would need to take 40 to 50 years to save.”

In the next moment, Fang Xingjian picked up another square box and opened it. In it was a jelly-like blue lump.”The Moonstone formed by gathering the moonlight’s radiation from beyond 100,000 meters high up in the air. If used to forge weapons, it can create an extremely low temperature of negative 150 degrees celsius. Just this one small piece is sufficient to for forging two weapons. If it is consumed directly, it can also give an additional special ability of cold resistance. It cost 25,000 gold.”

Looking at the over ten boxes in the hall, Fang Xingjian once again felt the importance of money. Putting aside the fact that the mystical prints were very powerful, just these heavenly and earthly treasures alone would be sufficient to allow a Conferred Knight to become much stronger.

In cultivation, money was not the most important, but it was true that with money, one would be able to increase their advantages.

Robert asked,”Xingjian, everything’s in order, right?”

Fang Xingjian nodded and took out another list, handing it to Robert. He said,”You can also start gathering these items. If there is not enough money, ask from Ferdinand.” The items listed were naturally the materials required for the second level of the mystical prints.

After taking a look at the contents of the list, Robert’s countenance changed into one of shock and said,”Xingjian, these things would take at least 300,000 gold, right? We don’t have so much money right now.”

Fang Xingjian’s royalties did not belong to him alone. Ferdinand, Zhou Xingwen, and the Regional Academy would need to take about 10% of it. Although there was still a lot left, the money received so far was only just over 200,000 gold. Even with the money from selling the books, it was still far from enough.

Fang Xingjian shook his head.”You can keep this first. With there being so many academies in the entire Empire, if we were to charge each of them 10,000 gold, it would be enough. One more thing. Don’t gather the materials from just one place. Spread out your sources and remember to keep it a secret. Don’t let others know that I’m the one collecting these things.”

Fang Xingjian did not wish for other people to know about the mystical prints.

As for the cost for the cultivation of the mystical prints, Fang Xingjian knew that this was just the beginning. As the cultivation for the mystical prints progressed, he would need to spend an increasing amount of money. It was definitely not something which his current income would be able to support. However, regardless of the cost, Fang Xingjian was planning to cultivate as much as his money could afford.

After sending Robert away, Fang Xingjian truly did not take a single step out of the house. Everyday, while he cultivated his sword techniques, he would slowly put together the materials for the mystical prints. He would either boil, mash, or brew them into one lump, turning them into the materials required for the application of the mystical prints.

After three days, the materials, which cost 100,000 gold, were all fused into one cauldron, transforming into a bucket of azure-colored translucent liquid which emitted a faint fluorescent glow. It looked like a flowing crystal.

Just by smelling the faint fragrance the liquid exuded, Fang Xingjian’s potential points increased by 10.
