40 Xuan Core (2/2)
These three priceless items were actually just part of the package!
Jun Mo Xie removed the object wrapped by the layer of pelt with his hand. It was a round object the size of a ping-pong ball. Looking at it, Jun Mo Xie could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.
The strange object was dark red and almost black in colour. Its texture resembled that of a stone, yet was not stone, resembled jade, and yet not jade. He gave it a pinch and found it to be slightly elastic. The first impression of the item was but one word - mediocre!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jun Mo Xie’s mind and he blurted out.
”Xuan Core!?”
Although Jun Mo Xie was unable to identify a Xuan Core, he knew that it was a precious item. Only a Third Xuan Beast or above could produce a Xuan Core. As for this Xuan Core, considering the strength of the Tang Family and how much importance they placed on protecting it and also the amount of attraction it had from others, going so far as to provoke a ”tiger” in order to obtain it, this item was no ordinary material! It should at least be from a Seventh Xuan Beast! Or perhaps, even higher?
Jun Mo Xie was not aware just how much resources Tang Wan Li had spent in order to obtain this Xuan Core. This Xuan Core came from a Ninth Xuan Golden Winged Tiger Xuan Beast had contained a huge amount of energy.
For low-levelled Xuan Qi experts, this Xuan Core was useless. However, once their cultivation was no longer of low level, then under the right conditions and using certain methods of stimulation, the vast energies within could be absorbed and claimed as one’s own!
As for how much of the energies can be absorbed?
That will have to depend on the person’s talent.
Once the Earth rank was reached, every step forward in Xuan Qi cultivation was cumulatively difficult. However, this Xuan Core could boost beginning Earth Xuan expert all the way up to the Sky Xuan stage! Within the world of Xuan Qi, this item was a Heaven defying treasure!
The difficulties involved in killing even an Eighth levelled Xuan Beast was already extremely high. As for killing a Ninth levelled Xuan Beast in order to retrieve its Xuan Core? This was generally an impossibility! It was certain that a Spirit Xuan expert held a good chance of defeating a Ninth levelled Xuan Beast, but killing it? Even if two Spirit Xuan experts were to join hands, they may not be able to kill a Ninth levelled Xuan Beast! The strength and speed of a Ninth levelled Xuan Beast was already considered to be terrifying, but when it came to running away, there was no way to compare to it!
Not to mention, this was a Gold Winged Tiger, a Xuan Beast with the ability to fly! Stopping it was something one would never even consider.
Back then, Tang Wan Li accidentally found a heavily injured Spirit Xuan expert. When he found out that the expert possessed this Xuan Core, Tang Wan Li spent a fortune to hire tens of Jade, Earth and Sky ranked experts in order to snatch it. Several lives were lost before he successfully obtained it.
Regardless of how the Spirit Xuan expert had gotten the Xuan Core, claiming it to be the only one in existence may be an exaggeration. However, one can be certain, there will not be more than three in this world.
Naturally, the reason Li You Ran urgently desired this Xuan Core was because he had a pressing need to use it!
His plan had already began years ago from when he first received intelligence on this matter, involving the bribery of Tang Family’s members, carefully arranging so that he could make his way in step by step, painstakingly keeping his eyes and ears out for any news until three months ago, when he finally found out the secret location of the item. However, Tang Wan Li never left the house and was always protected by four experts, giving him not a single opportunity to strike.
This time, he finally chanced upon a rare occasion. Not only did Tang Wan Li leave the house, he even took with him three of the four experts! In addition, there was also the heavy rain, which made the situation even more favourable! Grasping onto these favourable factors, he even sent a first-rate expert to lure away the expert from the Tang Family before secretly sending in another twenty experts. Collaborating with their insider, they had finally gotten it after sacrificing fourteen of the twenty experts!
Even then, it was considered a huge success. Sacrificing the lives of a few experts in return for the Xuan Core was undoubtedly an advantageous trade!
Unfortunately, just before successfully handing over the item, they ended up meeting Jun Mo Xie…
Several years’ worth of meticulous planning, thousands of plans and ten thousand analyses, all of them ended with nothing to show for their efforts!It only ended up benefiting others!
It was like training a young girl to be your wife, only to have her snatched away on the day you got married!
One could only imagine how miserable this Li You Ran currently was!
