1046 Resource 2 (1/2)
”Why don't you go back and rest? Your return this time has caused many troublesome issues. We have to go take care of Third Senior Sister seeing as the Blue Frost Sect will be targeting her in the competition,” said a guard. ”This time they suffered a loss because of you, so they will definitely find other ways to make up for it.”
Garen was dazed for a while, then muttered in shame.
”It's all my fault.”
”It's not entirely your fault, Blue Frost Sect's style has always been like this, but we Scarlet Snow Sect are not to be messed with as well! To outsiders, it may seem like a harmonious relationship between the two but in reality…well, Senior Brother Carthage had to retreat this time partly because he was injured by their senior sister.” Another soldier muttered coldly.
Garen was silent, nodding his head solemnly.
”I understand…”
”Go back and practice well. You are the only hope for our faction, and your talent is only second to Carthage. If you have any questions in the future, just come to us directly. If it is within our capabilities, we will definitely try to help. As bodyguards of the elders, we can access many things easily,” whispered the soldier.
”Thank you so much, I will never forget your help.” Garen smiled.
”You're welcome. We will inform you in advance if there is any trouble.”
The two soldiers could tell that Garen had a bright future ahead, hence why they so willingly offered to help him.
Leaving Second Great Elder's base, Garen returned to his assigned residential area.
He immediately traveled back to Planet Naga through the usage of Dimensional Jump, and moved out all of his resources, preparing to auction them off in order for sufficient amount of Scarlet Snow Crystals.
Scarlet Snow Crystals were actually the key material for the formation of the Scarlet Snow Sect's Resonance-Leveled crystal. The Scarlet Snow Sect's crystallization was to mainly absorb the object's essence, then together with Willpower, form Resonance Crystals.
The more crystals, the better. However, the absorption of each person was limited. The more you absorb, the condensation of crystals was naturally stronger. It was said that after reaching Inherited Level, most would have to constantly absorb essences of various resources and its limit of absorption would determine the power difference between every level of Willpower.
Garen did not know what his limit was, but it would not harm to have extra Scarlet Snow Crystals.

The Northern Yu Province in Planet Naga
The Black Wolf Peak's reception hall.
Garen sat in the highest seat and beside him was a beautiful girl dressed in a tight, white skirt, with white gloves and white stockings. On her head sat a silver crown, representing royalty. She was the one who gave Garen all her support back then, Princess Aine, who was also known as the Princess of the Merci Kingdom.
”Congratulations Mr. Garen on your promotion to Third Hearted, Your Royal Highness. I initially saw your potential and bright future long ago already, but I never thought it would become a reality so quickly.”
Aine and Garen had a mutual agreement back then to mine the Red Peacock Stone; coupled with the gifts they gave each other occasionally, their cooperation had been a pleasure so far.
”Princess Aine, I'll make this quick as there isn't much time left.”
”Please do.”
”I invited you this time to see if you are able to help me handle a batch of things which I obtained from the Void Battlefields. Do you understand me?” Garen did not tell her directly that the items were loots he acquired after killing people.
However, Princess Aine was a smart lady and she instantly understood what he meant.
”I won't collect any fees for the handling. I can bid in my thirty-five big auction houses simultaneously. What would you like to exchange for? Golden crystals? You don't seem to be lacking those though.”
Garen smiled. He opened his mouth and spat out a beam of scarlet light which formed a red ring.
Clang!
The princess' eyes grew wide. The wine glass in her hand fell to the floor, shattering into pieces.
Not only her, the void behind her fluctuated slightly. Obviously, the strong, invisible Resonance-Leveled expert behind her could not help but release a breath of shock as well.
A Level-Five this young to be able to perform it perfectly, what more if he soon entered the Resonance Level…
Princess Aine secretly rejoiced she placed her bets on the right person earlier on, but she blamed herself for not being bold enough to place a higher bet. Although they maintained a decent relationship between each other, they were still far away from being close.
”Mr. Garen…you…in such a short period of time, and you've already touched the surface of Level Five…you are indeed one of the elites of Scarlet Snow Sect.” Aine tried hard to conceal her surprise as her long slender legs shook slightly. She somehow unintentionally tilted herself towards Garen with her short skirt riding up her legs, the vague gap between her legs slightly moved according to the movement of her thighs.
At the same time, the smile on her face became more flirtatious as she gave off a slight sexy posture in the attempt of seducing. The white skirt which was barely covering her thighs tempted one to just flip the skirt over to take in the view.
”You flatter me.” Garen waved off her compliment. ”Alright, I'm sure you know what I'm here for, don't you?”
”Of course, my auction houses still have some remaining stocks of the Scarlet Snow Crystals. I can also easily find some stash from the Royal Family which would be enough for ten or more people to absorb and enter Resonance Level. Yeah, it should be enough.” Aine steadied herself as she said lightly with a charming smile.
”Besides that, is there anything else that you need?”
