Chapter 4: Sacrifice (1)
Within the Origin Bone Hall
This was a hall that Su Chen had ordered to be constructed for the express purpose of housing the Origin Bone Scepter
This hall was constructed from the bones of all kinds of different Demonic Beasts There was a certain primal aura about it, which was sorand atmosphere
Even so, this was the environin Bone Scepter liked to be in Only in such a priin Bone Scepter be able to unleash its greatest effect This was another thing Su Chen had learned froin Bone Scepter was placed on a specially constructed altar Apart fro else in the roo fro power that the shi+ning Dragon, an Origin Beast, possessed
Su Chen first pulled out an Origin Stone and placed it on the altar before asking his first question
“I want to knoe are having for lunch”
As the in Stones were in Stone on the altar disappeared, but Su Chen received no reaction
Su Chen knew that this sacrifice had failed
What they would have for lunch tomorroas a very simple question, but he had still failed
This seein Bone Scepter liked to consuy, they could not only contain Origin Energy It was a bit picky hat it ate
As such, Su Chen was not soabout as for lunch toin Bone Scepter preferred to eat
Based on the fact that he had not received any answer, it seein Stones were si of Clear Heart Grass on the altar This grass was a cultivation resource, in Stone
Then, Su Chen asked again as for lunch tomorrow
The answer cae appeared above the altar of countless people sitting around a bonfire barbecuing
“Roastelse to eat here?” Su Chen was a bit depressed But when he remembered that the construction work on top of the mountain had just been finished and thateven a water reservoir, it was really quite difficult for the but roast ?” Su Chen asked as he placed another sprig of Clear Heart Grass on the altar
This time, there was no answer
Su Chen repeated a question, placing a Cloud Fruit on the altar instead
Cloud Fruit’s value was somewhat lower than Clear Heart Grass, but as for dinner to was obviously a bit more of a complicated question than as for lunch
The answer appeared again
This clearly dein Bone Scepter’s anseren’t dependent on the !
Unlike those duet an answer fro he wanted to figure out were the principles the Origin Bone Scepter operated by, and what it liked and didn’t like The variable market prices meant that there were s that weren’t very expensive but the Origin Bone Scepter would like more
Next, Su Chen continued to test the ite as for dinner the following evening, he asked who he would see first the next , then who he would see second, then who he would see third, then what clothes he would wear, and finally what clothes other people would wear Then, he continued to ask about the day after tomorrow, and then the day after that
Su Chen did his best to try and string his questions together Regardless of whether the Origin Bone Scepter gave him an answer, he would obtain some useful data, which he would record in the consciousness crystal in his mind
However, after his twentieth question, the Origin Bone Scepter suddenly let out a low hum The primal aura in the air perceptibly decreased, and no matter how many more questions Su Chen asked, he received no more answers
“So you have a temper, do you?” Su Chen was taken aback
He recorded in his consciousness crystal that he could at most ask twenty questions in a day
Twenty was not a big number, but it wasn’t a small one either
For the more important answers, that was more than sufficient
For experimental questions, however, the price-to-perforh
No matter what, however, Su Chen could only accept this outco days, Su Chen continued to test the Origin Bone Scepter repeatedly, figuring out the cheapest sacrifices that the scepter liked
Through this constant process of testing out different sacrifices, Su Chen developed a fe rules for the scepter
First, the Origin Bone Scepter liked to eat Beast flesh more than it liked to eat plants, and it liked elemental items more than Demonic Beasts Finally, it liked ite else
Second, additional quantities of a sacrifice would result in di returns For instance, a De three days in the future, but offering one hundred fruits would not allow you to see an answer three hundred days in the future
Third, different sacrifices could be superiin Bone Scepter accepted this kind of sacrifice, and compatible sacrifices would even increase the effectiveness of the sacrifice
Fourth, the Origin Bone Scepter also liked items with many beautiful inscriptions on their surface If you offered up a sacrifice that you had spent so that item, it was possible to achieve a better result However, this was only a possibility; there was also a risk that engraving it would actually decrease its value in the scepter’s eyes
Fifth, different predictions necessitated different sacrifices for the Origin Bone Scepter In particular, the biggest factor was hoilling the user was to accept a certain outcoin Bone Scepter was going to give a certain prediction that the user was able to accept, the cost of the sacrifice would decrease
