Chapter 24: Spring Winds
In addition to these, Little Fatty’s equipment was also extremely luxurious. First was the mat which he was seated on. It was a magical artifact produced from Qi absorbing gra.s.s, and could boost cultivation speed by about 30%.
Of course, this increase only applied to the XianTian stage cultivators. After advancing to the Foundational stage, the effect would only be 10%, and above it at the JinDan stage, the effect could be considered negligible.
Although this was only useful for low-tier disciples, but because of the rarity of Qi absorbing gra.s.s and the difficulty in refining it, this resulted in a very high price. Plus, people would not be willing to sell an artifact like this, which acts as a supplement, until it loses its effect. Little Fatty also had good luck and managed to meet the owner of this artifact who advanced into the JinDan stage. Since it lost its effect, the seller was willing to exchange it for a piece of Cold Black Gold .
Furthermore, Little Fatty also collected a few other items. A necklace made from 5 elemental spiritual pearls and a s.h.i.+rt weaved from spiritual silk. The 5 elemental spiritual pearls would increase the effectiveness when worn during cultivation. It would also increase the power of the 5 elemental spells when used during casting. A treasure that is worth tens of thousands, Little Fatty would not dare to bring it out normally, but only use it when he was cultivating. The s.h.i.+rt would automatically absorb the spiritual Qi in the surroundings, and would also increase the speed of cultivation.
There were also five incense burners which were used to burn the divine wood of the 5 elements. The fragrance it effuses is a big aid to cultivation. It is just that the price of burning the 5 elemental divine wood was too high. Just burning an incense of about the size of a thumb was worth over a 100 low-grade spiritual stones. How could this be considered burning incense? This was practically burning money!
Burning these things could not only increase the speed of cultivation but also make the Qi purer. Thus, Little Fatty still bore with the price and burnt it.
All these things added up, it was worth at least a few million low-grade spiritual stones. If not for the large amount of treasures his Natal Artifact was able to produce, he would be unable to afford it. But, it was also because of Little Fatty’s act of burning so much money, that he able to advance to the 5th level in such a short time. 5 levels in 3 years, if it was anyone else, they would not even dare think about it.
Despite having reached such a level, but because of his cultivation method, it made him look as though he was only at the 2nd or 3rd level, thus not surprising anyone. Apart from Monkey and Han Ling Feng, almost n.o.body knew about how strong he was. It was just that Little Fatty’s wealth could not be concealed. This is because he had to go to Firmament City every month to purchase the different items.
Although Little Fatty very carefully concealed what he bought, but every trip he made, just the transportation portal fee amounted to 40 spiritual stones. To an outer court disciple, this was not a small amount. If he only went once or twice it was okay, but Little Fatty went every month. This was a bit too suspicious. Especially the people in the s.h.i.+fting Towers, they had already begun noticing Little Fatty since the start.
At least the guards in the s.h.i.+fting Towers were all foundational stage cultivators and had a decent amount of savings. Although they found Little Fatty’s wealth strange, but they would not think about robbing him. But what spoiled everything was the fact that when he was at Firmament City, he would be seen by some of the outer court disciples sometimes. They were all shocked that Little Fatty would appear there, and it was not just once or twice. As he kept going, the rumors of Little Fatty being rich began to spread.
Today, Little Monkey suddenly found Little Fatty who was refining water lightning in the cave and asked in concern, “Fatty bro, recently, there are always people trying to find your whereabouts. By the looks of it, they seem to suspect that you are in possession of a large number or spiritual stones or even high-grade magical tool. They have bad intentions towards you!”
“Who are they?” Little Fatty kept his incantation technique and asked with a frown.
“Plenty, when I went to a cla.s.s in the Imparting Techniques Hall, many people were asking about your whereabouts. I fed them all disinformation but they did not seem to believe me. I was followed on my way here, and it took me a lot of effort to shake them off!” Monkey hurriedly replied.
The Techniques Imparting Hall was a place where high-level inner court disciples cleared any doubts lower level outer court disciples may have during cultivation. Any outer court disciple who met with any problems could go there to find someone for an answer. Even if the inner court disciple on duty did not know the answer, he would also help you to ask even higher level cultivators.
