“Star Lexicon Spirit Stone?” Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li widened their eyes, faces filled with curiosity. At this Star Wind Martial Meeting, they were opened up to new experiences, and heard things they had never heard before.
“Each celestial body will produce a unique spirit stone. Their qi and the celestial body will be as one. Only when you have a hold of it can you very quickly blend into that celestial body. Some have guessed that it is the source of the Star Treasures, but this is just a hypothesis. Once you have the Star Lexicon Spirit Stone, you can set up your base. The base of Star Lexicon Spirit Stone covers at least two hundred miles in diameter, and won’t be attacked by beasts.” Old Fart Wei said with his face stern: “With respect to any celestial body, a safe base to move forward from is extremely important. If we have a Star Lexicon Spirit Stone, then we can clinch first place.”
“Ah, then we better hurry to find the Star Lexicon Spirit Stone!” Tang Tian raised both his hands.
Ah Mo Li shouted as well: “First! First!”
Old Fart Wei was not moved: “Did the both of you know that Crystal Sky, Northern Yan and Beast Academies are all looking for the Star Lexicon Spirit Stone? If we make the same decision as them, we will definitely confront them. The nature of this Martial Meet has changed completely. Now, each opponent you meet is very dangerous. If there’s a chance, they will not hesitate and kill you! This is not a competition but a battle of life and death!”
Tang Tian’s smile had faded. He nodded: “I know, but so what? Don’t tell me we are suppose to retreat? I don’t want to! I want to be first!”
He clenched his fist tight and stared at Old Fart Wei seriously. He said word by word: “No matter how dangerous it will be, I want to be the first!”
“I support Fundamental Tang!” Ah Mo Li said.
Old Fart Wei observed the two for a long time and laughed wildly: “Haha! Indeed, I have foresights! What vigorous young lads you both are! Even this quiet heart of mine is beating with you! Then let’s fight! Let’s get our first place!”
“Whoohoo!”
“Long live!”
The two raised their arms and cheered.
“Hehe!” the corners of Old Fart Wei’s mouth crooked and turned into a smile: “Since we have decided to take the first place, then we better hurry. As the senior, let me tell you two rookies how to search for the Star Lexicon Spirit Stone.”
There was one more item in his hands now. It was a black coloured circular object. The external side of the circular sector was a sliding track. On top of it carved several complicated patterns, there was one needle that was similar to a compass stuck onto the external side of the track.
Tang Tian found Old Fart Wei amusing. He had all sorts of weird items so he pointed and asked: “What’s this? Is it a Star Treasure as well?”
“That’s right!” A ray of icy cold light flashed through Old Fart Wei’s eyes: “It’s the Star Treasure of Sextans, classified as iron rank and named [Oscillating Apparatus]. The Sextans was a hidden constellation between the Gemini Constellation and the Hydra Constellation. Do you still remember the [True Eye Cylinder] earlier? That was from the Microscopium Constellation. It is situated on the southern side of Capricorn Constellation, between the Grus and Sagittarius Constellations. The Star Treasures of the Sextans and the Microscopium Constellations are almost all for facilitation usage and are rarely used for fighting. However, don’t underestimate the Star Treasures of such constellations. You’ll know in the future that Facilitation Star Treasures are usually more useful than the combat kinds during fights.”
[Robin: Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m instantly reminded of production skills from Legendary Moonlight Sculptor ^^]
Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li were engrossed in listening and realised: This world was vast, and much more profound and interesting than they had imagined.
“The [Oscillating Apparatus] can help to capture any waves up to 100 miles away. The waves of True Power, Treasures, and Spirit Generals.” Old Fart Wei explained as he gestured the Oscillating Apparatus in his hand, putting in True Power.
The Oscillating Apparatus needle started sliding and pointed in one direction, shaking continuously.
“Huh?” a tinge of oddness flashed through Old Fart Wei’s eyes.
“What happened?” Tang Tian asked hurriedly.
“There’s a powerful expert on the battlefield, creating strong wave-like energy.” Old Fart Wei’s expression become weird. He stood up suddenly, closed his eyes, and opened both his arms to the night breeze. A moment later, he opened his eyes and shook his head: “Let’s not care about them.”
Old Fart Wei tuned the Oscillating Apparatus again. This time the needle pointed in one direction.
“Let’s walk this way.”
The three packed their tents and started following Old Fart Wei, pulling all force forward.
They did not encounter any dangers during the night. Their speed was fast, and occasionally, Old Fart Wei would take out the Oscillating Apparatus to counter check their direction.
When morning came, it was as if the sky were painted like multicoloured piano keys, appearing on top of the heads of the three. The three did not feel tired, even though they had been walking for the entire night. They were still as energetic as ever. Suddenly, Tang Tian’s eyelids twitched and pointed somewhere far away: “There’s someone there!”
Old Fart Wei shot a glance and kept it back: “It’s Crystal Sky Academy. Their Star Treasures are a lot better than mine, it’s not surprising if they found it.”
“Oh.” Tang Tian replied.
“How did they get so many Star Treasures?” Ah Mo Li asked confused: “When I was in Beast Academy, I never heard my academy had any Star Treasures.”
“You can buy them as long as you have enough money. The Iron and Bronze Rank Star Treasures can be bought in the market. I heard you can get Silver Rank Star Treasures as well, but I have never seen it before. As for you, it’s normal that you didn’t know. Iron Rank Star Treasures are invaluable. The key point is, in a place like Wu An constellation, it is impossible to buy them.”
Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li finally understood.
“Let’s go. Everything boils down to one’s capabilities.” Old Fart Wei said, full of confidence.
Sure enough, as they progressed forward, the people around them sped up as well. In the vastness of the sea of purple grass, the martial artists were like agile goats, sprinting around the land.
All of a sudden, a tall and mighty red coloured peak appeared in the vision fields of the people. Everyone gathered up their energy as they increased their pace, running towards the mountain peak.
Tang Tian and the other two also sped up.
Two hours later, the three finally arrived at the base of the snow mountain. Old Fart Wei looked up to the peak of the mountain which soared into the skies. The peak was covered in snow. The red colour of the mountain was especially unique. He knocked on a piece of red coloured rock and placed it in the True Eye Cylinder.
