Chapter 680 - Magical Provenance (1/2)

Half a month later, the third year and seventh month of Shenyuan had arrived.

At the mansions located in the mountains south of the Qi City in China where William, the Son of Heaven resided in, jovial laughter and joyful song echoed within the courtyard under the cool shade of flourishing trees.

“Come, William, have another grape… These Element Replenishment Grapes are newly introduced to the market.”

“Alright sweetheart, you should eat them too.”

Robert, who was sitting at the corner of the gathering to furiously chug down some beer, frowned at the sight. Why would the circumstances differ so much among fellow geniuses?

Look at Vigilante A, who had been busying himself with cultivation or practice the Path of Heavenly Punishment every day. He has now advanced leaps and bounds to become the most powerful individual in this realm.

On the other hand, this nephew of his who once carried the title of the Son of Heaven had lost himself within the life of debauchery and the temptations of the female flesh. He had entirely wasted his innate talents.

Even if he had been wasting his time, he could still cultivate until the peak of Pond-level, and was only a step away from breaking to Lake-level.

Just imagine, if Willam was half as diligent as Vigilante A, he would probably already be a Lake-level powerhouse long ago, and would perhaps be much more than that!

Unfortunately, every individual had their own aspirations, and it is unwise to impose one’s standards on others.

The Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique was born and had caused shockwaves across the world. William had generously sponsored a huge amount of three billion USD to assist in the popularization efforts of the Technique.

Now, half a year had passed, and significant progress had been achieved across the globe. Almost a million people had cultivated at least until the first transformation.

Within that million were those with great Natural Traits, and those of the high socioeconomic class who were able to use their riches to advance their progress.

After some more drinking, Robert suddenly spoke, “I heard that the Venerable Dragon God opened a store named Magical Provenance in this city. Apparently, it allows those who cultivate the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique to deposit, withdraw and trade magical energy.”

Without even looking up, William gave an answer as he sat surrounded by many gorgeous women. “Oh, I’ve heard about this long ago from a local jewellery dealer. He said that his three children have already opened up some accounts there, and whether if I wanted to open an account too… Thus, I’ve already opened accounts for all my sweethearts and myself.”

“That’s true. William is a really generous person. Not only did he help us to successfully cultivate that mysterious technique from the East, he also helped us to deal with these troublesome matters,” giggled the gorgeous women.

“Um, looks like you really don’t delay when it comes to important matters.” Robert could not seem to find an excuse to lecture his nephew, which had caused him to chug a new bottle of Laoshan beer in frustration.

“Of course. However, the magical energy saved there is still too little for a worthy purchase. Oh by the way, do you know what unit of magical energy is used there?” William asked.

Robert answered seriously, “Um, I’ve gone through their introduction. One unit is derived from the magical energy gathered by a Double Grade F after a normal 8-hour cultivation. The name of the unit is called Dan unit, as in 1 Dan unit of magical energy. 1 It can be used to cast the smallest spell – Flame Spell.”

“Seems like you’ve put actual work in this, uncle. China has already started to establish the standards for the new era… This means that they are trying to define this era. I have thought about how this day would arrive, but I never expected it to come so quickly.” William shook his head.

“Actually, it is still possible for us to catch up.” Robert gazed at his nephew solemnly.

“Forget it. We have led the race for a few centuries now, it’s now their turn. This is the rise and fall, prosperity and decline that the Chinese people always talked about. It’s nothing to be shocked about.” William brushed it off without a care.
