Chapter 255: Pure Water Palace
“Are you sure? Using 1000 spiritual stones for just 10 minutes of flight? This is equivalent to the price of a low grade magical artifact? Why does it exhaust so many spiritual stones?”
“This thing is so huge and is extremely fast when it flies. Furthermore, the protective barrier has to be opened as well for safety. In addition, the lights in the Gold Dragon Boat and the different functions on it requires the use of spiritual stones as well. Thus, more spiritual stones are being exhausted.” Old Fang then smiled, “Actually this isn’t considered to be much! The consumption of spiritual stone during travel is different from the consumption in battle. It is said that when the Gold Dragon Boat uses all of it weapons, even the ordinary FenShen cultivators will have to avoid them. It is just that the consumption of spiritual stones at that time will be over 10,000. This is no different from burning money!”
“Goodness, I now know why the empress gave this to me. She couldn’t afford playing with this tool, and keeping this would take up her storage s.p.a.ce. So, she might as well give it to me as a favour!”
“Hehe, that’s about right!” Old Fang smiled, “However, it is also out of goodwill that the empress gave it to you. After all, little highness isn’t too strong right now with many things capable of threatening you. You are not like the empress who can come and go as she likes in this world. There are simply no concerns for her safety! Thus, she gave this boat to you as a form of protection.”
“This thing isn’t too bad. But the problem is, can I afford to use it?” SongZhong laughed bitterly, “I don’t have that many spiritual stones to burn!”
“Haha, you do not need to be worried about that!” Old Fang laughed, “You are the crown prince after all. While the Eastern Ocean Empire does not have the ability to allow you to travel with this boat everyday, we can still fork out 10,000 high grade spiritual stones. This should be enough for you to escape in times of danger!”
As SongZhong heard that, he was elated as he asked, “That’s great, where are the spiritual stones?”
“Haha, they are all in the Gold Dragon Boat already. It is enough for you to fight a two hour long battle!” Old Fang smiled, “So, should we take the Gold Dragon Boat or fly there ourselves?”
“Do you need to ask?” Without a second word, SongZhong stretched out his hands and kept the Gold Dragon Boat in his Natal Artifact.
As Old Fang saw that, he was shocked as he said, “Aiyah, little highness is pretty capable! You are able to keep such a huge Gold Dragon Boat?”
“Haha!” SongZhong smiled without replying. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘The dimension in my Natal Artifact is already 60 to 70 thousand feet wide. Not to mention a Gold Dragon Boat which is 3000 feet, I can even keep a 30,000 feet tall mountain.’
However, all of these are SongZhong’s secret and he would never tell them to Old Fang. Thus, he changed the topic and asked, “Right, Old Fang, let us go to that Pure Water Palace?”
“It is now the Crown Prince Palace!” Old Fang smiled, “From now on, that place belongs to you! Let’s go, I will lead the way”. As he said that, Old Fang took out a gigantic long sword. After injecting his magical Qi into it, it transformed into a huge sword which was hundreds of feet long and tens of feet wide.
Old Fang then invited SongZhong and Lei Shan’er onto it as they began to take flight.
On the way there, SongZhong began to ask about the Pure Water Palace. He would not know if he didn’t ask, but he got a shock the moment he did. It turns out that the Pure Water Palace was actually a cave left behind by an ancient cultivator. Although it was not s.p.a.cious and extremely deserted, there was a natural Negative Pure Black Water Pond.
This Negative Pure Black Water is made from the essence of Water spiritual Qi and was similar to SongZhong’s Five Elements Pure Water. It is just that the Five Elements Pure Water has the spiritual Qi of all five elements while the Negative Pure Black Water only had the Water spiritual Qi.
In terms of effect, the Five Elements Pure Water is definitely better. However, in terms of practicality, the Negative Pure Black Water is much better. It was rare to see demonic beasts and human cultivators who specialized in all five elements, as such, the Five Elements Pure Water can only be used to refine elixirs.
However, the Negative Pure Black Water was different. Not only is it able to refine high grade Water type elixirs, it was suitable for Water type cultivators to cultivate in. Furthermore, there were many Water type demonic beasts in the Eastern Ocean. As such, after the discovery of this place, there were many who fought over it.
In the end, everyone grew displeased with each other and they ended up in a battle royale that resulted in countless of casualties. No one was able to become the sole owner of this land. Helpless, they could only request the Emperor of the Eastern Ocean Empire to make a verdict.
After a series of arguments, a final decision was made. The Negative Pure Black Water Pond and the Pure Water Palace will all be placed under the emperor’s jurisdiction. However, the rights to the Pure Water Palace will be up for auction for a hundred year period of use. Whoever wants to use it must spend money to outbid their compet.i.tors. All of these wealth will then be split amongst the various bidders. As such, everyone would receive benefits and the fighting was stopped. The current user of the Pure Water Palace was a thousand year old sea turtle called AoTian
