63 Primal Orb (2/2)

”We're third. It seemed like the demonic beasts that were killed during the battle as collateral damage.”

Xin Fan headed over the bat and generated a blade from his wrist. He carefully pried away the orb that was hanging over the neck of the beast. The orb was translucent and Xin Fan could see the embedded symbols using the moon as a back light.

”This kept glowing during our fight.”

”What is it?”

”I don't know.”

Xin Fan experimented a bit. He injected qi into it. He hit it. However despite all his efforts, he couldn't do anything to it.

”Pass it over.”

Chilong who was still injured and leaning against the tree caught the orb with a single hand. After observing it for a few minutes, a wisp of white shot from his fingers and penetrated through the casing of the orb. The symbol in the orb shined white before shooting a light towards Tianfei. Tianfei stepped aside and looked at the path it took.

”That is probably where the ruins are at.”

”So this light would take us there.”

Chilong nodded his head as he threw back the orb. He slowly tried to get back up however just stumbled and fell back down.

”Get back down. We should rest for the night. I'll keep watch.”

Xin Fan watched as his two companions started to doze off. It was at moments like these where he had to be vigilant. He could see how tired both of them were. In normal scenarios, they could manage to take shifts to cover the night however looking now, this wasn't possible.

'Xin Kong...are they all collected?'

'Yes, I count 50.'

'Sell 40 of them. We should get 92g if my calculations add up'

'We now have 110g to spend.'

'Buy 1 Sealing Rice.'

[ User has purchased 'Sealing Rice' ]

[ By unlocking 3 different Rice, User has gained the function Almanac ]

Xin Fan was surprised by the introduction of a new feature however refrained from entering the domain.

'Can you check out the almanac?'

'Hmm...It seems to be an information menu for your rice. It even goes over the time it takes to grow each rice. Judging from what I am seeing, the Fire Soul Rice should be done in around 10 days. The plants growth seems to be variable.'

'Good, anything else?'

'Well, the sealing rice seems to be a supplementation ingredient. It seems like it could be used to seal different things. For example it says here that when used with Fire Soul Rice, can create a dish to force out a Primal State.'

'I see...'

Xin Fan stared up at the moons as it once again realigned into a new constellation signally the passing of another month. It was the ninth month now and Xin Fan looked back at his journey to now. To think that nine months ago, he was still some weak child in a mountain village. The moons slowly stopped moving to create the shape of an ox. The sign of perseverance and tranquility. Xin Fan only hoped that this was going to be a good omen for the upcoming month.
