295 Elemental Path Stones Again (2/2)

Krune nodded.

”It has the same effect as the pill bottles that we alchemists use. It prevents the energy inside from escaping. That means that any stone from 100 years ago that appeared has definitely lost its power already.”

Feifei then said.

”Anyway, we should still go there to look for the ones that will appear now.”

Krune nodded and then started to look into the information.

”Alright, there are two problems. First, the Elemental Sect and the other Five powers are in control of their own planets. They are all very big Sect and Clans that have protected those entrances for a very long time. So I doubt that they will simply let people and beasts go around collecting their Elemental Path Stones. If you remember correctly, anywhere we went after the Elemental Path closed was heavily guarded, and the check was rigorous.”

Feifei immediately nodded.

”Indeed. I thought that to be an exaggeration, but now I understand why that happened. The Elemental Sect was keeping tags on the entire planet because of that.”

Krune nodded.

”As for the second problem, it is because there is no way to know where an Elemental Path Stone will appear. So the Elemental Sect uses tens of thousands of low realm disciples to sweep the planet. Still, it is not guaranteed that those stones will appear on the surface, so they need to continually check the surroundings.”

”The worst part is that it is very hard to notice with Divine Sense alone. Unless you are very close, let's say, a hundred meters or less, you probably won't notice their presence. So using a high realm cultivator or demon beast to scan the whole planet is useless as well. And that is considering that the stone is on the surface. Underground ones are even harder.”

Ruik couldn't help but comment.

”This searching problem is also another reason for this thing to be this expensive.”

Krune nodded and then smiled.

”But we have an advantage, our Elemental Meridians and those stones are deeply related. Maybe, we can use it so find Elemental Path Stones that are too far underground for those disciples to notice. Of course, we will need to test it first.”

Krune couldn't help but sigh after saying that.

”If just Amark had sent this second message earlier, I would have used that Elemental Path Stone to see if we can locate them with the Elemental Meridians.”

Tiane then commented.

”So our main problem is to get permission to look for Elemental Path Stones, am I right?”

Krune nodded.

”Exactly. But I do have an idea. I think I can use my own pills in exchange for the right to look for the Elemental Path Stones. As you know, my pills are something that, although it isn't as expensive as the Elemental Path Stone, they are even harder to get.”

Ruik couldn't help but comment.

”In that case, wouldn't it be better to simply exchange the pills for the stones?”

Krune looked at Ruik and shook his head.

”Didn't you hear what I said? My pills are not as expensive as the Elemental Path Stones, just rarer. Also, we would need a gigantic amount of Elemental Path Stones to achieve a real difference in our Elemental Source Energy conversion. I would have to spend years concocting nonstop to reach an amount good enough to be worth it. Just how many Divine Soul Realm Demon Beasts you think we defeated there? Haha!”

Krune looked at everyone and said.

”What I'm betting in is the fact that the Elemental Sect also doesn't expect me to find many Elemental Stones either. So they might think that it is worth it. Besides, it is not guaranteed that we can find a lot of them to start with. Using our Elemental meridians to find those stones is just an idea. In the end, they might really be the ones who profited in this trade.”

Feifei couldn't help but sigh.

”In the end, we can only rely on your pills to get our free pass. If this idea works, I will make sure to get as many Elemental Path Stone as possible to repay for your pills.”

Tiane and Ruik looked at each other and nodded, they too didn't want to have Krune doing everything. As long as they find more Elemental Path Stone, they can have Krune stay with the biggest part.

Krune just smiled and nodded.

Feifei then asked Krune.

”What about your cultivation?”

Krune shook his head.

”Don't worry, I will not slack while I'm there, and you won't do it either. We have the Mind Splitting Technique, remember? We can leave part of our mind focusing on cultivation and Laws while we use the rest to look for the stones. Since we don't need to be ready for a fight all the time, it won't be a problem to do it. Once I reach the point where I need to enter the Divine Soul Realm, I will return to the Wisp World for a quick breakthrough and go back straight away after that.”

Feifei then thought about something else.

”Let's ask Cinty to see if she has an Elemental Path Stone. That way, we can check if we can detect it before going there.”

Krune nodded and then called her with his communicator.

”What? Elemental Path Stones? Hahahaha! Why would we have something like that? Before you brought the Myriad Wisps Technique, we wisps had never had meridians to start with. So what good would it do to buy those things?”

Krune and Feifei felt a little embarrassed. That was quite an obvious problem, but it didn't pass through their heads since they had been using their Elemental Meridians for a long time.

”Errr... Sorry to bother you, then. See you later.”

Krune finished the call and sighed.

”I do have enough Alchemists points to trade for another Elemental Path Stone. The problem is that it will need to be bought in the Rimeria Solar System. I could apply to transfer my alchemist points somewhere else, but it would definitely take some time too. And once again, I need to go back to Rimeria to do that.”

Tiane then just shrugged her shoulders and gave another idea.

”Forget it, let's just go the Elemetal Sect planet and check it there. If it doesn't work, we can just leave. It is one thing to try to detect the Stones, but another to collect them. We don't need to pay anything at first since we will not really take them.”

Feifei, Krune, and Ruik immediately agreed with her.

Krune then sent a message to Dilo through his communicator telling where he could find them once he was back.

With that, their plan was laid down, and they immediately left the Wisp World.
