Chapter 319: Star Stones (2/2)

Nie Tian awoke from his contemplation, opened the door, and let Pei Qiqi in.

Pei Qiqi was wearing a light-blue battle garment. Her crystal-clear eyes were devoid of the slightest impurity. Immediately after entering the room, she glanced at Nie Tian out of the corner of her eyes and said, “You’re back, huh?”

Nie Tian nodded.

Pei Qiqi let out a soft, angry snort. “What did I tell you before you went to the Blood Skull’s headquarters? Didn’t I tell you to keep a low profile and stay away from trouble? You just won’t listen! Not only did you get in trouble, but you even went to fight Shi Nan in the Blood Fighting Pit!

“This is great. After that fight, almost everyone in Shatter City now knows your face.

“If Mr. Hua were here, he would definitely also tell you to lay low and avoid things like that. Even though you didn’t say it, I know you’ve come to the Realm of Split Void to hide from certain people. If you don’t want trouble, you’ll have to act like it!

“If you continue to do things like that, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hide here much longer!”

Scolded by Pei Qiqi, Nie Tian forced a dry smile and didn’t say anything, looking shamefaced.

After their experience together in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, Nie Tian knew that she would only talk this much to people she cared about.

To those who she didn’t care about, she wouldn’t say a word more than what was necessary, no matter who it was.

“It’s my bad. I tried, but I couldn’t bear his provocation.” Nie Tian admitted to his mistake honestly.

Pei Qiqi shot another cold glance at him. Seeing that he was truly sorry for his rash behavior, she didn’t know what else to say.

“Oh, right, Cai Yuan came over a couple of days ago.” She stopped berating Nie Tian and changed the subject. “He talked to Li Ye. Apparently, he converted the valuables you previously looted from the Dark Moon members and Hunters into spirit stones, and used some of them to purchase a number of spiritual materials Li Ye would need.

“It seems that the customized spiritual tool Li Ye is forging for you will require even more spiritual materials than he expected. Even though your last trip turned out rather lucrative, everything you gained from it probably won’t be enough for Li Ye to forge that spiritual tool.”

Nie Tian was taken aback. “Does it really require that many spiritual materials to forge that spiritual tool?”

Pei Qiqi nodded gently at him, saying, “It’s mainly because you’re far too special. The spiritual tool Li Ye is forging for you will allow you to infuse it with fire power, wood power, and star power. My master and Li Ye are the only ones in the Realm of Split Void who have the ability to forge this kind of spiritual tool.”

Nie Tian was increasingly astounded.

“Another reason is that it requires a substantial amount of Star Iron. Star Iron is extracted and refined from Star Stones. Star Stones are very hard to find in the Realm of Split Void. There’s only one region in the whole realm where Star Stones can be found.” After a brief pause, Pei Qiqi continued with a frown, “But that region is even more special and dangerous than the Void Illusion Mountain Range. It’s extremely hard for people to obtain Star Stones from there.”

“Star Iron…” Nie Tian’s expression flickered. Then, he took out two hundred Star Stones from within his bracelet of holding, laid them in front of Pei Qiqi, and asked, “Will these be enough?”

Pei Qiqi’s eyes widened. “Where did you get so many Star Stones?”

Nie Tian chuckled. “From the Hunters I killed.”

Pei Qiqi shook her head. “It still seems a bit short.”

Nie Tian took another fifty Star Stones from within his bracelet of holding, leaving only fifty for himself. “How about now?”

After a glance at the Star Stones, Pei Qiqi stared at Nie Tian with a surprised look in her eyes. “Now it seems about enough.”

Keh! Keh!

Nie Tian cleared his throat with a smile on his face before he killed the silence by asking, “Where exactly is this region you talked about? Also, why do you say it’s even more dangerous than the Void Illusion Mountain Range?”

Pei Qiqi went on and explained, “In that region, meteors fall from the sky all the time. These Star Stones actually come from the meteors that plummet to the earth.”

Nie Tian’s eyes immediately shone with the light of excitement.

At present, the most crucial part to his study of Starfall was none other than finding a place where he could see and interact with falling stars.

He had been scratching his head over where to find such a place.

Pei Qiqi’s words came as great news for him, and allowed him to see the hope of mastering Starfall in the recent future.

“Do you have a map of that region?” Nie Tian asked hastily.

“You don’t need a map. It’s vast region to the east of Ash City, and it’s also infested by Hunters…” Only then did Pei Qiqi come to realize what Nie Tian’s intentions were, and asked, “No, don’t tell me that you want to go there… Are you crazy!?”

“I need Star Stones! A lot of them!” Nie Tian said.
