Chapter 401 - The Sixth (Part-1) (1/2)

Ryuu looked at the door that was blocked by purple colour powder, as he approached the mountain of powder he had covered his face with a cloth which he had covered with an array.

He kneeled in front of the foot of the powder mountain as he inspected the fine dust.

A moment later he found his eyes widen at his discovery, 'No way it is Plaesten.', he quickly turned his head upon seeing that no one was looking he let out a villainous chuckle.

'My master always complained about how difficult it was to get hold of some good quality Plaesten that too refined to boot, and now I have mountain loads of it, maybe I should take a good few scoops of it before I inform others.'

Ryuu once again looked back and seeing no one behind him he took out a few dozen space bags filling them with enough powder to fill at least a few football stadia seeing his successful work done he gave him a pat on his bag, 'Eden so far has been extremely profitable for me with a few thousand spirit beast nucleus and now Plaesten I am rich, incredibly so.'

He somehow managed to control his grin as a certain duck came to his mind, a duck that used swim on his vault full of gold, his glazed for a moment as he mused, 'I believe I can now fulfil my childhood dream swimming in a vault full of gold coins, gold coins that I earned with my own two hands.'

Clearing of the throat brought him out of his daydream as he turned he saw Frost Flames and Frozen Ocean looking at him with curiosity plastered on their face as Frost Flames spoke, ”You were gone for some time as such I decided to check on you and Sister Frozen Ocean decided to accompany me so did you find anything useful.”

Ryuu had a grin that seemed to split his face as he spoke, ”Useful? My dear lady, it depends on what you deem as useful, this stuff is very precious you can fill up as much as you can before I inform others, as they will clamour for it.”

”Well, then we will try to fill up as much as we can so why don't you inform others many are getting restless, and after they all arrive here you can tell them about your find.”

Ryuu nodded in acceptance and a few minutes later he arrived with the rest of the group, as they arrived they saw the two female cultivators standing near the pile of purple colour dust.

Ryuu then cleared his throat as he began to speak, ”Welcome everyone, I called you for one and one reason that is for all of us to profit from something.”, he took a deep breath before he swung his hand pointed towards the powder as he spoke, ”What you see here is known as 'Plaesten'.”

Zywia upon hearing that had her eyes wide open, as she let out a gasp as she spoke, ”What quality is it?”

Ryuu smirked as he spoke, ”The highest possible quality.”

Zywia dashed towards the powder as she started putting as much as possible inside her space ring, as did a good few amongst them.

True-Spear frowned as he spoke, ”Is there something that I am missing that is stopping me from dashing and gathering that purple powder like some madman.”

His confusion seemed to be mirrored by many others as Ryuu began to speak, ”This powder is very important for those who deal with blacksmithing, this is an important component that acts as a stabilizer as well increases the conductivity of KI in weapon and armour, it might not be much for you now but it is highly sought after by all cultivators who are above the Celestial realm.”

He paused for a bit as he saw many of them hanging on his words as he continued, ”Well this thing is so precious that the unrefined ore costs at least a few Deva Crystal per Kilo but when refined it only gives around a hundred grams of this powder at best with the present quality it would be much much higher.”

They were stunned for a moment before they made a mad dash towards the powder as Ryuu jumped to the side to prevent himself from getting trampled on by them.

A few minutes later looked at what was supposed to be a mountain of powder, but now even the floors had been completely cleaned, shaking his head in exasperation he whispered with a tired sigh, ”Such greed is unbecoming of cultivators.”, while conveniently forgetting that he had stashed much more than many of them combined would have been able to put in.

Zywia who was nearby blushed upon hearing Ryuu's words, as she replied to him in a heated tone, ”What about you? You are acting as if you did not take any of it.”

Ryuu snorted at that as he spoke, ”I did not take any for myself, whatever I took I would gift it to my teacher and big sister, I do not need something that I cannot use nor do I have any need of materialistic things.”

'Well as long as I can get my pool full of gold coins I do not need anything.', was his thoughts as he looked up to see the empty ceiling, an action many had followed as Chianyu spoke with a frown, ”Hey is that another door up there.”

”Yes, there is one I think we should go and check.”

A suggestion by one of the cultivators that were appreciated by others as they all quickly took to the skies.
