Chapter 17 The Unreachable Shore
How dare someone look down on this little kid: "Hey, you big shot, come up with a name!"
uid:666666: "This ID is great, why change it?"
Daring to look down on a little kid: "That's true."
How dare you look down on a little kid: "What level are your spells?" ୧((〃•̀ꇴ•〃))૭⁺✧
Vice President: Li Weiguo: "Level B, I think we are all Level B."
Guild Master: Crimson Lotus Demon Sealer: "Yes, mine too."
How dare someone look down on a little kid: "Mine's the same, why?!"
Vice President: Li Weiguo: "Those who awakened on the first day should all be B-level."
Qingwan: "Mine too."
The martial arts practitioner: "Me too."
uid:666666: "Me too."
Vice President Li Weiguo: "The level of the spells that are awakened later should be lower."
Guild Master: Crimson Lotus Demon Sealer: "I think it's very fair. The level of a spell, its ability, and its cultivation all depend on the individual's skill."
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
The group quieted down again. It was normal to be a little reserved on the first day of meeting, and after being stimulated by Li Yuan, everyone wanted to focus on their cultivation and didn't have much of a desire to chat.
Li Yuan opened the group member list and added the other three people as friends. After sending the friend requests, he suddenly realized that those people in the chat channel did not want to sell the Five Emperors Coins easily. They did not have any means of survival to begin with, and they would be even more doomed without the Five Emperors Coins.
Would my chances of succeeding be higher if I exchanged the Five Emperors Coins with a powerful person?
Most of the big shots in the gang have the ability to protect themselves, and most of them have three Five Emperors Coins. They don't need to collect 108 coins themselves, so they should be willing to lend them their money.
As for what to trade? They have no shortage of food, but they don't have cinnabar or black dog blood themselves. The only thing they can trade is spirit stones!
The importance of awakening magic spirit stones is then evident; they will definitely exchange them, one spirit stone for three Five Emperor Coins.
No, no, that's not right. One spirit stone can replenish your spiritual energy twice. You need to cultivate your spiritual energy twice before you feel stronger, and even then, the feeling isn't strong; it's just the kind of feeling where you can barely sense becoming stronger.
Looking at it this way, spirit stones really are a rare commodity. I had a whole bunch of them without even realizing it. You have to know that mastering spells and researching techniques also consumes spiritual energy.
Giving only one item per treasure chest is indeed too little.
However, the Five Emperors Coins are also very important. Vermilion and black dog blood are consumables, but the Five Emperors Coins can be used for a long time. In the early stages when there are no other ways to protect oneself, their importance goes without saying.
That one spirit stone can be exchanged for two Five Emperors Coins?
Li Yuan thought about it again and decided to be generous. He didn't lack spirit stones, so he could exchange one spirit stone for one Five Emperor Coin. In any case, he would only exchange for six coins. He had a long time ahead of him and would cooperate with others many times in the future. He would consider it a benefit and gain favor to make things easier.
But how can I explain having so many spirit stones?
No, why should I explain? What business is it of theirs if I have spirit stones? The Big Boss Guild doesn't stipulate that we have to explain the source of the supplies; I'll just say I found them by luck.
Li Yuan didn't send it in the group chat but sent it in a private message, so it was perfect that each of the six people could exchange one.
Everyone agreed to the trade and did not ask Li Yuan why he wanted to exchange spirit stones for Five Emperors Coins. Although both spirit stones and Five Emperors Coins were important, spirit stones, which could be used to improve one's own strength, were definitely more important than external objects like Five Emperors Coins.
Although they were puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions. They were just worried about lacking spirit stones, so why not take advantage of Li Yuan's willingness to trade?
She dared to look down on the little girl and even said that she could give both of her stones to Li Yuan. She had never been able to master magic because she didn't have enough spiritual power. She hadn't even taken the second treasure chest yet, and she had already used up all the spirit stones from the first treasure chest.
The spiritual source could regenerate its spiritual power on its own, but unfortunately, the speed was too slow. She tried to activate the spiritual source to absorb external spiritual power like in novels. It actually worked, but only twice as fast. It took her half a day of strenuous effort to barely recover to full strength.
She was overjoyed that Li Yuan wanted to exchange the spirit stones for the Five Emperors Coins. She had a premonition that she was just a little short of successfully using the spell!
Li Yuan certainly wouldn't ask for any extra Five Emperors' Coins from her; this honest child might get kidnapped one day.
Li Yuan collected 108 Five Emperors Coins but did not immediately combine the Coin Swords into 108 Coin Swords.
He wore strings of five emperor coins on his wrists and ankles, totaling 108 coins, which he would then remove, fearing that without protection he would be choked by the monster again.
Or wait until you are stronger and no longer afraid of being possessed by a demon before combining 108 money swords.
Li Yuan sewed the newly acquired Five Emperors Coins into the Five Emperors Whip at his waist. He didn't withdraw his transaction application at the trading center when he had enough to make 108 Five Emperors Coins. Of course, the more of these things, the better!
After finishing these tasks, Li Yuan continued his cultivation. While others lacked spirit stones for cultivation, he did not.
He guided spiritual energy to circulate throughout his limbs and bones once, and fed spiritual energy to Sha Lei once, thus alternating between physical and magical techniques.
The spiritual energy within his body was quickly depleted.
Li Yuan grabbed a spirit stone, absorbing its energy while pondering how to condense the killing lightning into a bolt of lightning to unleash.
Just as he was thinking about slowing down, Li Yuan was startled and immediately accelerated to absorb spiritual energy, as he needed to ensure a sufficient supply of spiritual energy when entering the strange land.
The vehicle drove out of the deep mountains and slowly came to a stop by the river outside the mountains.
This time, the Bagua formation steering wheel wasn't even demonstrated; it was directly pointed to Kun: the Death Gate.
Li Yuan was unsurprised. Weren't the first two gates deadly? Weren't they all aimed at my life?
Despite this thought, the fact that the gate to death was right at the start still made Li Yuan wary.
He checked the five-emperor coins on his wrists and ankles to see if they were loose, then stuffed two spirit stones into his pocket, and got off the carriage fully armed with a money sword in hand.
Li Yuan walked towards the river.
In stark contrast to the eerie place ahead, this river seemed remarkably ordinary, as if it had never been tainted by any strange phenomena.
Reeds and weeds grow luxuriantly on both banks, reaching up to a person, swaying gently in the wind and rustling softly. The river is over five meters wide, its water crystal clear, like a mirror. Amidst the rippling blue waves, the pebbles on the riverbed are clearly visible, and several small fish dart among them, lively and agile, suddenly flicking their tails and disappearing into the depths of the water plants.
The river was not turbulent, but flowed slowly, like a leisurely old man, moving forward without haste or slowness, as if time itself had slowed down along with it.
The river reflects the banks, and the sounds of insects chirping, birds singing, and fish playing in the water can be heard from time to time. The scenery is beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
A stone treasure chest lies quietly on a river stone at the bottom of the river, silently enduring the erosion of the river water.
Li Yuan did not approach the riverbank, but watched from a distance.
Should we give up?
The bizarre scene before him made Li Yuan want to back out.
This is too bizarre! How can such a normal place exist in an abnormal world?!
He recalled how Master Qingfeng gave up immediately when he encountered the Drowned Ghost, and frankly, his swimming skills were only average. Whether he could defeat the Drowned Ghost in water was uncertain.
While it may not necessarily be a drowning ghost or something else, the fact that the treasure chest is in the river means it must be related to water.
The water looks about one meter deep, but it's actually more than two meters deep.
I wonder if the lightning strike will work underwater.
Water conducts electricity, so lightning strikes are dispersed in water, reducing their power. You might even accidentally electrocute yourself...
Li Yuan's killing lightning was different from ordinary lightning, but he dared not gamble on it, for if he went all in and made a mistake, he would lose his life.
But there's a stone treasure chest at the bottom of the river. The stone treasure chest is an upgraded version of the wooden treasure chest. What good things might be inside?
Li Yuan didn't want to give up.
Li Yuan stood gazing into the distance for a long time before shaking his head. He reasoned that his life was more important than a treasure chest; he didn't need it.
This place is too eerie. The Bagua formation has sealed the door, so what kind of good place could it be?
Li Yuan turned around and walked back. After taking two steps, he stopped in surprise. The calm river in front of him flowed slowly. A small fish leaped out of the water, splashed, and fell back into the water, creating a splash.
