Free Web NovelChapter 622: Chapter 565: Second Bloom
Han Yu has completely decided not to emerge again, figuring these cultivators won’t give up anytime soon.
Especially after realizing they’ve been duped, they’ll surely be furious; without spending some time venting, they won’t calm down.
"In this regard, they’re not as good as Yama Hall."
Han Yu mumbled to himself.
The cultivators from Yama Hall get angry quickly and forget just as quickly, not at all hindered by getting duped again next time.
The cultivators of Celestial Dao Sect are much more stubborn; they’ll likely not forget anytime soon.
The Artifact Spirit suddenly went silent, and Han Yu withdrew his head underground before venturing into his Sea of Consciousness.
Goodness, no wonder there’s no response; it was watching the bottle digest the stone.
When Han Yu observed, the digestion process was already ending.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Nine sounds emanated continuously from the bottle’s mouth, with stone after white stone falling out.
Including the one snatched from Su Xiaoxiao, these nine Inquiry Stones total seventy-eight years of Qi Fortune.
This is comparable to Han Yu’s harvest from risking it with Yama Hall outside.
"Fortune favors the bold."
The Artifact Spirit exclaimed in admiration.
Even though it had no part in the spoils share, it kept a close watch on the bottle.
"I must keep an eye on it; if the bottle gets more than its fair share, I’ll report back to you."
The Artifact Spirit, motivated by a spiteful mindset, said this.
But the bottle’s distribution method was unexpected; the Qi Fortune within the bottle changed, turning into an aura that soared upwards.
In the sky above the Sea of Consciousness, it gathered into a cloud-like mass, and soon raindrops started to drizzle down, causing Han Yu’s expression to freeze.
In his Sea of Consciousness, his Water and Earth Divine Techniques both advanced to the Third Tier Divine Communication state simultaneously.
Thus, among the five Element Divine Skills, besides the Fire Divine Power reaching the Fourth Tier Domain and the Gold Element Divine Skill yet to be acquired, the remaining Wood, Earth, and Water Elements have reached the Third Tier.
No one expected the bottle to prioritize enhancing Han Yu, leaving the remainder for itself.
The Artifact Spirit looked conflicted, disappointed yet somewhat satisfied.
If the bottle doesn’t act out, it doesn’t get the chance to scold it.
If it enhances Han Yu, it’s pleased to see the outcome.
"I must find a way to acquire the Gold Element Divine Skill too."
The Artifact Spirit glanced at the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly speaking up.
"Is it necessary?"
Han Yu asked perplexedly. From his perspective, even if he possessed these Divine Techniques, the Fire Series was still the most frequently used; whether for its extreme output characteristics or simply being handy due to constant use.
As for the other Divine Techniques, they rarely had the chance to be used; the Hungry Ghost Image of the Ghost Series, for instance, was already collecting dust.
"No, I have an intuition that it’s very important."
The Artifact Spirit propped its chin, face wrinkled in contemplation, sensing that possessing all five Elemental Divine Skills was crucial for Han Yu.
It seemed the collection of Divine Techniques faced difficulty, especially concerning the Gold Divine Power, the only encountered possessor being the Sect Leader of Nanli Sword Studio, a formidable figure whose cultivation and Divine Techniques were equally unmatched.
Setting aside Han Yu, among the Central Continent’s cultivators, Xia Wuyou unquestionably stood at the forefront regarding talent in cultivation.
This led to a lack of need on Xia Wuyou’s part; perhaps when West River Pill encountered a bottleneck, he couldn’t provide any pills.
With time passing, it’s uncertain whether they could obtain West River Pill next encounter. If possible, one might persuade Xia Wuyou to take a Pill through a soft approach.
The rain abruptly halted in the Sea of Consciousness, and after the surplus of energy returned to the bottle, the entire Glazed Bottle suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the Sea of Consciousness in radiant colors.
A mystical new rune appeared briefly on the bottle before the Artifact Spirit exclaimed.
"It’s almost seventy percent now."
Is this considered fast? Not at all; in fact, it seems quite slow.
Firstly, several times the bottle directly abandoned reflected energy to elevate Han Yu, subsequently spending a hundred years’ worth of Qi Fortune to revive the Artifact Spirit.
Secondly, it seems the further the bottle proceeds, the more energy or Qi Fortune is required.
Even the Artifact Spirit might have an estimation, but the bottle resembles a bottomless pit; even if it estimated, the Artifact Spirit couldn’t accurately say how much more the bottle needed.
Above, streaks of light constantly flashed, showing the dissatisfaction of cultivators returning after having left.
Complete scoundrel!
That reflects every cultivator’s mind at the moment; they had all been thoroughly played.
The Cyan Dragons either dispersed before catching up or disintegrated after being pursued.
But Han Yu’s figure never appeared, not in any Cyan Dragon.
This left the group of cultivators frustrated and realizing they had been sent away, swiftly turning around to return.
But by the time they returned, it was too late; Han Yu’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Despite releasing their aura and sweeping across the land, they found nothing.
"If I find him, I’ll string him up and rinse him a thousand times with the Milky Way."
One cultivator tightened his fist and shouted angrily.
"I’ll grill him with a Pill Furnace, since he loves playing with fire!"
Another cultivator’s face was ashen.
"What about our Dao insights?"
Some cultivators also opened up in distress; they knew that entering the Enlightenment Tower wasn’t without its cost.
It was infuriating; they had paid their dues but came away empty-handed, their Inquiry Stones stolen.
"Go to Celestial Dao Sect."
Someone suggested, instantly gaining unanimous support.
"That’s right! It’s not us who lost the things; Celestial Dao Sect must take responsibility."
"Celestial Dao Sect doesn’t have just one Enlightenment Tower; go have them switch to another for us."
With that thought, a crowd flew off towards another location...
As for Han Yu, he had already fled far away, never daring to show himself, relying solely on the Artifact Spirit’s guidance to travel underground.
Only after a full two-hour period did the Artifact Spirit’s expression turn strange.
"What’s wrong?"
Han Yu couldn’t resist asking curiously.
Occurrences catching the Artifact Spirit off-guard were rare; Han Yu assumed something happened.
"I sensed Qi Fortune again."
Another one? Could it really be everywhere?
Han Yu couldn’t help but praise the richness of this land.
Following the Artifact Spirit’s direction, a man and spirit stealthily moved for fifteen minutes, both halting with an odd expression.
For, according to the Artifact Spirit’s perception, right ahead lay a dense cluster of Qi Fortune.
This time, the Artifact Spirit acted smartly; before taking action, it extended its perception through the earth first.
Another tower, which goes without saying, the items below must be another set of Inquiry Stones.
Here’s the issue now.
"Should we?"
The Artifact Spirit pursed its lips in inquiry.
If there’s a tower, there must be cultivators; stealing... obtaining the stones would surely get noticed.
"How much Qi Fortune?"
Han Yu asked thoughtfully.
The Artifact Spirit deeply sensed before replying, "Fifty years’ Qi Fortune."
"Let’s do it!"
Han Yu’s expression turned excited instantly; fifty years of Qi Fortune is a worthwhile transaction.
Even being chased afterward is worth it.
"Northwest direction."
Man and spirit came to an agreement; guided once more by the Artifact Spirit, Han Yu reached a barrier, where he discreetly created an opening with West River Slash, slipping in like an eel.
Eight Inquiry Stones lay before him, their positioning clearly deliberate, precisely mirroring before.
Even though Han Yu was clueless about cultivation matters, he surmised it must be a type of array. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Presumably, these stones formed an array impacting the entire tower, serving the cultivators.
Thus initially, those cultivators reacted so quickly.
Which means, after grabbing the stones, he’d need to flee at once, as far as possible.
Thinking this through, Han Yu, smiling slyly, extended his mischievous hand once more...
