CapĂtulo 2602: Chapter 1186: The Great Enterprise (Part 2)
Finally, after an exceedingly time-consuming and detailed search and comparison, Chen Mobai chose to place an order at a Bookworm Pavilion store.
Because this shop offered all e-books, which could save on expensive postage, and aside from star maps, there were also a variety of miscellaneous e-books for sale.
Most importantly, these e-books could be subscribed to by chapter according to oneâs needs.
For instance, a Heavenly Deception Talisman that Chen Mobai really desired could be found in one of the e-books called âCentral Dojo Talisman Collection.â By subscribing to Chapter 37 of this book, one could access all the content related to the Heavenly Deception Talisman, including knowledge of the seventh-rank Heavenly Deception Talisman.
The complete e-book of âCentral Dojo Talisman Collectionâ costs 10 Dao Merits to purchase, but subscribing to just this chapter costs only 0.1 Dao Merits.
In comparison, buying the whole book would definitely be more economical, but unfortunately, money was tight.
This Bookworm Pavilion also had a function to recharge reading coins, for example, 1 Dao Merit could be exchanged for 100 Reading Coins, and subscribing with Reading Coins even offered a 40% discount.
After discussing with Qi Yuheng and others, Chen Mobai decided to recharge 1 Dao Merit, giving each Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator a chance to subscribe once.
Chen Mobai needed the Heavenly Deception Talisman, Qi Yuheng chose something that could help improve the understanding of the Law Domain, which was also useful for Narcissus, maximizing cost-effectiveness.
Yunhai True Monarch opted to subscribe to the âCentral Dojo Array Dao Collectionâ and found the chapter related to the seventh-stage Celestial River and Star Array.
The other Divinity Transformation cultivators like Cheng Xuan held onto this opportunity, as for them, the knowledge on the Immortal Gate side had not yet been fully absorbed, and they planned to utilize this precious opportunity to subscribe to higher-level knowledge when they hit a bottleneck in the future.
After spending 2 Dao Merits on star maps and knowledge, the Dao Merit balance of the portal was left with only 10.
Although it was little, for the Immortal Gate, it still had significant purchasing power.
Because 1 Dao Merit could purchase a large batch of Rank-5 medicinal materials.
Even some slightly common sixth-rank herbs could be several plants for 1 Dao Merit.
âIâve comprehended many alchemy recipes from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree, for cultivation level enhancement, breaking through bottlenecks, extending longevity, strengthening the body, and even assisting in Divinity TransformationâŠâ
Chen Mobai informed Qi Yuheng and others about the Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill and others, leaving them amazed.
âYour Weapon Dancing Sect indeed has profound heritage, worthy of Purple Cloud Palaceâs direct lineage.â
Over the years, Chen Mobai frequently brought out some good things not available on the Immortal Gate side, claiming they were left by Ancestor Yun Ya. Over time, the Dan Ding Sect had been recognized by the other three sects as a wealthy power second only to the Immortal Sword Sect of Wangji Daojun in the White Crane Dao Arena.
Even Qi Yuheng and others suspected that the reason Chen Mobai could advance in cultivation so quickly was due to leveraging the heritage left by Ancestor Yun Yaâs Dan Ding Sect.
âLetâs purchase a main herb for the Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir, after all, for inciting the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon this time, Iâve observed that Pure Yang True Monarchâs lifespan and essence suffered significant lossâŠâ
As they discussed what medicinal ingredients to buy, it was True Monarch Tao Hua, with the greatest alchemical skills among the Divinity Transformation present, who first spoke, startling everyone with her words.
âIs there actually such a thing? Pure Yang, how is your health?â
Cheng Xuan immediately asked with concern. Although they had sensed Chen Mobai seemed weaker since returning, they thought it was due to consuming essence when deploying the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, without realizing it also cost lifespan.
âTrue Monarch Tao Hua indeed lives up to being enlightened by the Peach Divine Tree; she even noticed thisâŠâ
Chen Mobai was slightly surprised but didnât hide it, sharing that he had lost three hundred years of lifespan.
âEven though making sacrifices for the Immortal Gate is duty-bound, if conditions allow, I think compensation is necessary. This Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir should be refined.â
Even Qi Yuheng, who usually didnât get along with Tao Hua, agreed with her this time.
The other Divinity Transformations nodded repeatedly, agreeing that heroes of the Immortal Gate should not make sacrifices without something in return.
The Rank-5 Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir happened to extend life by three hundred years.
However, Chen Mobai thought it somewhat wasteful; after all, losing three hundred years left him with over two thousand years of lifespan. In such a long time, he believed he could certainly achieve Void Refining Realm, which meant reaching immortality.
The most urgent task was still to enhance cultivation level.
Even more, to improve the overall strength of the Immortal Gate.
âLetâs put off considering the Longevity Elixir for now; itâs not cost-effective. Besides, using the Dao Merits accumulated by predecessors to extend my own life feels a bit too selfish.â
Chen Mobaiâs words of high moral character earned immense admiration from the others.
âIf not for your sacrifice, there wouldnât be the Dao Merit income from obliterating Ming Wang Star. I deem it only right,â Qi Yuheng urged again, but Chen Mobai felt it was better to refine the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill over the Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir.
Moreover, after subscribing to the Heavenly Deception Talisman, he still needed related materials like Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink. Everywhere needed Dao Merits; lifespan wasnât crucial until the end of life.
Many people had a tinge of regret in their eyes.
After all, if the Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir were refined, those present might have been able to get a piece.
But seeing Chen Mobaiâs firm attitude, they didnât dare to persuade further.
Ultimately, they selected materials from a Dan Phoenix Herbal Workshop store to buy the ingredients for four cauldrons of Ascension Dragon Gall Pill and one cauldron of Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill, totaling exactly 1 Dao Merit.
This price was actually somewhat high.
The reason for choosing this shop was because Chen Mobai and the others had only one purchasing opportunity, worried about issues during delivery, given the vast and boundless cosmic expanse, where one might encounter rogue cultivators practicing demonic cultivation techniques. But this Dan Phoenix Herbal Workshop was directly operated by Phoenix Palace, deeply backed, ensuring delivery, and offered compensation of ten times the Dao Merits if items were lost.
Additionally, there was another crucial reasonâthe store also sold Spirit Veins.
It was convenient to buy it together with the medicinal materials to save a delivery trip.
Finally, Chen Mobai and his companions chose a sixth-rank lower-grade peak Spirit Vein worth 3 Dao Merits, which could somewhat compensate for the losses from the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon deployment.
After placing the order, looking at the remaining 1 Dao Merit balance, Chen Mobai felt increasingly impoverished.
This 1 Dao Merit was kept as a reserve in case of future difficulties on the Immortal Gate side without a way out.
âSpeaking of which, should we consider that planet of the Three Eyed Tribe?â
After the expenditures, Qi Yuheng, feeling a bit empty and uneasy, couldnât help but suggest.
If the Immortal Gate could conquer the Three Eyed Tribe, it would at least bring in 3 Dao Merits of income.
And also a Heaven and Earth Placenta worth 2 Dao Merits, and other precious materials.
In any case, the planet of the Three Eyed Tribe was certainly more valuable than Dragon God Star.
Swallowing it might just offset all the losses from obliterating Ming Wang Star in one go.
Once Qi Yuhengâs words were out, all the Divinity Transformation cultivators present were tempted.
It was at this moment that Chen Mobai understood why the Five Ancestors of Xianmen initially accepted the task from the Central Dojo, to come to Earth Element Star.
The pioneering efforts of their predecessors had paved the way, though it was interrupted halfway.
Now, as the inheritors of their forebears, shouldnât they continue to fulfill this unfinished business?
âLetâs be cautious.â
Even in such a situation, Chen Mobai maintained a calm and clear mind.
Because it was precisely the Three Eyed Tribe that caused the great enterprise of the Five Ancestors to fail midway, it was evident that the strength of this demon-contaminated planet couldnât be less than that of Ming Wang Star.
However, judging by their current avoidance, there shouldnât be a Void Refining Realm existence.
Purple Cloud Palace was set to descend there next; Chen Mobai could then probe the strength of the Three Eyed Tribe.
If Immortal Gate could overcome it, they would then devise a detailed conquest plan.
