Chapter: 1217 (1/2)
AST 1217 – The misery of having treasures at low grade, Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Limestone, Feathered Spirit Grass
Now, Qing Shui was already at a higher position than both Yan Jinyu and seventh princess. Yan Jinyu also just got promoted to be a high grade disciple not long ago. It hasn’t been long since seventh princess joined Heaven Secrets Academy. She was strong, hence it was fairly easy for her to get promoted to be a high grade disciple.
However, becoming an elite disciple wouldn’t be as easy a task. Among a hundred people, sixty of them were normal disciples, twenty of them were high grade disciples whereas only five of them were elite disciples. From this, it could already be seen that the elite disciples were really powerful. At least inside the Heaven Secrets Academy, they still held quite a decent position. But the ones truly active in Heaven Secrets Academy were the core disciples and the people above them.
“I am now an elite disciple, shall I invite the eldest princess over for the gathering?” Qing Shui asked after thinking for a while. After all, the eldest princess has also been a great help for him. If it wasn’t because of her, he wouldn’t have gotten this kind of opportunity. Hence, deep down, he still held a lot of gratitude for her.
“My sister is going to come very soon. Well, at least you still have some conscience for remembering sister.” The seventh princess chuckled.
Qing Shui got gloomy. What was that? But only until now did he look into the surroundings. Within this manor, there were three buildings, one pond and an area of small fake mountains. On top of the pond, there was an arched bridge and a spot with a pavilion. Within the manor, there was also a bamboo forest. It was a verdant forest which was greenish blue in color. An abundant life force spread around from it.
“Even though a sparrow was small, it still had all the organs needed for it to be alive”. This place was already considered quite a decent manor. Actually, there was nothing really wrong with the previous manor. The problem with it was that everywhere were manors, hence, he somehow found it a bit awkward. Now, at least he would feel a bit more comfortable doing his morning exercise here.
Not long after, the eldest princess came. When she saw Qing Shui and the girls, she smiled and greeted them. Only after that did she smile at Qing Shui: “Congratulations!”
Like usual, this woman was like the bright moon across the night sky, very beautiful. Even Yan Jinyu and seventh princess were a bit inferior compared to her. No wonder Saint Child Band and the leader from Lord Sect would be so loyal to her. The kind of attraction which she could give men was fatal.
Her appearance was so enchanting that it could cause people to spurt out blood. It wasn’t as simple as being sexy, it was also gentle and graceful. That was a kind of attraction that couldn’t be described in words. It was a kind of charm which came from within.
Her eyes emitted a kind of tranquility. A kind of extraordinary feeling from the mortal world, causing people to not dare to blaspheme her. Qing Shui noticed that the more he interacted with it, the more his ability to self-control would decrease.
He embarrassingly turned away, smiled and said to the eldest princess: “Thank you, and also, thank you for recommending me into Heaven Secrets Academy.”
“Your dragon elephant is really powerful. You are a true man.” The eldest princess smiled out of nowhere.
Qing Shui’s body shaked. He looked at the eldest princess and smiled: “Thanks for your compliment.”
Qing Shui already knew that the eldest princess knew about the things that happened which involved him in the Huge Desolated City, so much so that QIng Shui could sense that the eldest princess was just around them at that time. The reason why she called him a man might have had to do with the fact that he didn’t run away while facing off against the Fire Dragon at that time.
Qing Shui saw both of the eldest princess’ beautiful eyes looking back at him. They seemed as if they were intending to see through him. Qing Shui was able to see something from her eyes. It should be about himself refining demons…… It’s just that she hasn’t inquired about anything for now.
Qing Shui rubbed his head and avoided the eldest princess’ eyes. Now, he was already considered to have temporarily got onto the eldest princess’ boat. If he wasn’t mistaken, the eldest princess has also known about him killing off people from Saint Child Band.
Qing Shui really hoped that the eldest princess found out about all these from other people instead of her witnessing it herself. However, Qing Shui knew that the possibility of the latter was really huge, because she was worried about the seventh princes, yet she was unable to take action herself. It’s very likely that she was trying to train her.
……
On his first night in the new manor, Qing Shui entered the realm very early. He left the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant outside to guard the night. With it being there, Qing Shui could go into the realm in peace and not get distracted.
Like usual, he refined his magic treasures. It’s just that for now, basically, it’s very hard for them to be upgraded. Qing Shui saw the Heaven Shaking Drum, Spirit Gathering Drum and Coiled Dragon Statue. As far as the current Golden Scale Dragon Elephant was concerned, Qing Shui no longer knew whether the Heaven Shaking Drum was still taking effect.
With his current strength, he was no longer capable of knowing whether a scene caused by two million nimbus would be the same as a scene caused with the strength of four million nimbus. Or rather, he didn’t even know whether the attack the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant used the other day contained a strength which worth a million and twenty thousand nimbus or two million and forty thousand nimbus……
He couldn’t achieve it with his strength. Once Qing Shui refined that strength, he would be able to experience it.
“Oh yeah, can I ask about the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant?”
It’s just that upon learning the news, Qing Shui got upset, the reason being that the strength of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant didn’t actually get increased because of the Heaven Shaking Drum. This was because the grade of the Heaven Shaking Drum was no longer able to catch up to its strength.
Qing Shui really felt like cursing. But as he thought deeper into it, he let go of that intention. He has already picked up a great deal. It’s just that it was a waste that the Heaven Shaking Drum didn’t work. But he wasn’t afraid of it, once the Heaven Shaking Drum ascended in grade, it would naturally be able to once again significantly increase the strength of his demonic beasts.
Grades….. Without grades, everything would just be decorations. Similarly, it was also hardest for this thing to level up. For treasures like Heaven Shaking Drum, once it reached fifth grade, it’s already became considerably hard for it to continue ascending. This was only because the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant was too powerful. It’s like back then with the Big Dipper Sword, it couldn’t help amplify Qing Shui’s Spirit Energy and was no longer able to draw out its use as expected.
These phenomenons were very usual. It’s just that it made people felt really upset.
Alright, now, he felt that there was one more thing for him to look forward to. He looked forward to the Heaven Shaking Drum, Coiled Dragon Statue and the Spirit Gathering Lamp going up in grade. That was the only way, there would come a day when all of his demonic beasts became really strong.
