Chapter 41 - Is there any worth in that? (2/2)
Krune accepted the idea, after the formation master came and got paid, he set up the concealing formation, Krune then asked him to put a barrier to impede other from enter or leave and the process was done.
Krune then entered his house with Yusa and Ao, they would see for the first time how the Spiritual Energy Meridian is created, they had heard the explanation from Krune, but hearing about and seeing with their eyes are two completely different things.
”So, like I said everything comes down to creating all nine pseudo energy meridians together, every single one of them is part of the whole, their different properties will fuse together creating the brand new Spiritual Energy Meridian, if you are successful, the Spiritual Energy Meridian will start absorbing the spiritual energy of the surroundings or whatever has spiritual energy, in this case, it will be the spirit stones.”
”If it fails, it will break apart and you will have to start again, when you try it for the first time, be aware that it will be difficult, even I failed several times before I was able to create the first one.”
”Alright, I will start, pay attention.”
Yusa and Ao focused their eyes and Divine Sense on Krune, other than cultivating, they have also been forming the Pseudo Spiritual Energy Meridians so that they could build the real one later, when they started over a month ago, Yusa was in a better state since she had created four in the past, she only had to learn the other five, Ao was different though, he didn't use the Myriad Energies Technique before, so he had to start from zero.
At moment Yusa had successfully created the sixth pseudo meridian while Ao had made three, it could already be considered very fast, of course, that's because they had Krune as their teacher, otherwise, it would have taken them much longer.
Krune went back to his wisp form, he needs the best control possible to avoid any mistakes on process, Yusa and Ao are still not used to Krune's wisp form though, but they accepted him nonetheless, little by little, nine pseudo meridians started to appear and fuse together, Krune purposely delayed the formation of the seventh Spiritual Energy Meridian so that Ao and Yusa could see more clearly.
An hour later, Yusa and Ao hears a 'click' sound, as if some puzzle pieces got together, Krune immediately took out thousands of Rank Three spirit stones, sure enough, the Spiritual Energy Meridian started to absorb the spiritual energy from the surroundings and the spirit stones at the same time, Krune looked like a black hole, there was so much spiritual energy flowing into him that it even became tangible, spiritual energy of heaven and earth is just like the air, you know it is there but you can't see it, only when you compress it to a certain point that seeing it becomes possible.
One thousand spirit stones,
Two thousand,
Three Thousand,
The spiritual energy meridian kept absorbing spiritual energy from the Rank Three spirit stones all the way to eleven thousand and some spirit stones, after that the Spiritual Energy Meridian shined for a while like all others before settling down, and just like that, the process was finally over.
Yusa and Ao were amazed, they still had some doubts about Krunes explanation regarding Spiritual Energy Meridians, but after seeing this, all their doubts disappeared like smoke, what impressed them the most is how expensive this thing is, they saw how eleven thousand Rank Three spirit stones disappeared like nothing, this thing can totally bankrupt a small cultivation clan alone!
Yusa and Ao now understood why Krune valorized spirit stones so highly, Yusa was simply a money grubber, she just love to have money, in the cultivators case, spirit stones, but although Krune remembered her, it wasn't because he loved them, just that he needs as much as possible for those crazy meridians. Yusa seriously pondered if she should give up the Spiritual Energy Meridians, they are too fuc*ing expensive!
As for Ao, his eyes were shining, he doesn't care about money that much, but the marvelousness of the Spiritual Energy Meridians had totally caught his attention, even if he has to spend all his savings, so be it, for him it is totally worth it!
Krune then tried to cultivate with his seven Spiritual Energy Meridians at the same time and just as he expected, they can still work at max capacity even if he uses all of them.
Krune then went back to his human form and looked at Yusa and Ao.
”Well, that's pretty much it, to find about the spiritual energy meridians is hard, but after knowing that they exist the path ahead becomes much simpler, of course, this is as long as you can afford them. That's why I spent so much time at the Alchemist Guild, I need money, simple as that.”
Krune then felt a chill passing through his core, sure enough, Yusa was looking at him with fervent eyes. She had a very big smile or her face. Krune couldn't help but ask.
”Errr… Is something wrong?”
Yusa then replied.
”Oh my good brother, what about I exchange my body purity for the spirit stones necessary for the Spiritual Energy Meridians?”
Ao Sulian eyes almost popped out of their sockets, can she be any more shameless? First of all, is such a shameless woman 'pure' to start with? But then he heard Krune say something that made him feel pity for him.
”Is there any worth in that?”
Yusa's face immediately became scary.
Ao could only make a mental note to himself.
'Don't worry, brother. I will pay a visit to your grave during this day next year.'
