Chapter 529: Chapter 523: Ghost Bead
As the saying goes, drought dries and floods drown.
David Jones didn’t expect that a young and strong man like him would have so many resources related to longevity.
Although longevity resources are the most valuable and cherished among all resources, since no matter how powerful a Trainer is, they would never think they have too much lifespan and would rather complain about it being too short, David still felt it was weird.
David glanced towards the innocent Lolo, and rubbed its fluffy chin, burying his head into the aromatic silver fluff, and an inexplicable thought suddenly emerged in his heart.
As a Destiny Sacred Beast blessed by the Power of Destiny, Lolo was born with strong luck. Could it be that Lolo’s presence brought David so many longevity resources?
After pondering for a moment, David shook his head and smiled.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, his way of treating Lolo wouldn’t change. Now, instead of overthinking, he’d better spend his time on cultivation.
At this moment, collapsed in David’s arms, the enjoying Lolo also opened the jade box in her hand.
Seeing the elongated item in the jade box, David’s pupils shrank and he quickly closed the box.
“This thing is useless, just throw it away.”
After saying that, David picked up the jade box and threw it out of the car, but this scene instead aroused Lolo’s curiosity.
“Chirp?” (What is that?)
Looking at Lolo’s innocent expression, David coughed to change the subject: “Alright, alright, it’s Gluttonous Beast’s turn to open the box next.”
The little guys immediately looked curiously at the Gluttonous Beast.
“Roar!” The Gluttonous Beast grinned, and through the Anti-Arcane Force Defense System’s scanning senses, it had already known what was in the jade box.
The next moment, an unassuming miniature sword flashed a cold light in the bright carriage.
[Green Soul]: A Class VI King weapon created by a Blacksmith Master after great effort, the hilt is inlaid with two high-level Water-type Magic Stones, giving the blade a water-flow boost and granting it extreme cutting and stealth abilities. It can easily cut through even the hardest flesh of Ghost King Elites, making it a weapon born for assassination.
“Did Jewel use this weapon to assassinate the genius of the Blood Sanctum Clan?” David picked up the Green Soul and lightly flicked it with his finger.
David wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but under the influence of Ghost Deity’s body, he even felt that he could split this Green Soul in half with just his fingers.
Thinking of this, David suddenly became alarmed.
This Green Soul was a valuable treasure that could be sold for a high price. How could he have thought of using his fingers to slowly grind it apart to test his flesh’s strength?
“Hoo!”
Suppressing the urge in his heart, David let out a deep breath, turned his head, and looked at Loona.
“Meh!” (Help me open it!)
Loona yawned and lay down on David’s lap, using her sharp, black six dragon claws to pass the jade box to him.
The scene of Loona acting cute missed the glares of the little guys, they all began to squeeze into David’s arms, making Rossetti Lindwood, who was watching from the side, want to join.
“Not bad, it’s a Sprout Elixir that increases the speed of cultivation.” David only needed a slight sniff to roughly understand the effect of the elixir in the jade bottle.
As for the jade box in Rossetti’s hands, it revealed a Level VII Water-type resource.
[Secretion Lotus]: A water lily flower bred from the Pureheart Pool at the deepest part of Mermaid Lake, after consumption, it can increase the user’s Water-type affinity or promote the Five Elements interaction, increasing the probability of Wood-type Pets breaking through to higher stages.
“Not bad!” David Jones’s eyes sparkled slightly.
Breaking through from a middle-level Class VII to an upper-level Class VII is a formidable barrier. With this Secretion Lotus, Lolo’s future breakthrough time might be significantly shortened.
After placing the identified treasures into the Star Ring, David focuses his gaze on the bead at the center of the bracelet’s space, constantly emitting soul fluctuations.
[Ghost Bead]: Level VI SS tier resource, a treasure formed by the condensation of the souls of dozens of Ghost Elites, which can significantly improve one’s Psychic level by absorbing it with specific Mystic Arts.
Note: If forcibly absorbed and refined, the massive and pure soul power within the bead will cause the absorber’s psychic to split, giving birth to a second personality.
David Jones had a thought and wondered if the Taikoo Black Dragon Zodiac Chart could help him safely refine the soul power within the Ghost Bead.
However, his keen intuition told him that recklessly absorbing the soul from the Ghost Bead would undoubtedly be more harmful than beneficial.
“What a pity!” David Jones sighed, dismissing the idea of refining it and turning his gaze outside the window.
It was a considerable distance from Suffering County to Silver-Abyssal City. Using this shaky ox-cart would take at least a day to reach there.
But David wasn’t in a hurry. After obtaining the Ghost Deity body, he possessed a unique aura of the Ghost race.
Through testing, he could either cover this aura using Dragon-Wielding power or actively release the Ghost Deity energy.
David’s intuition told him that with this high-rank Ghost Deity energy, even Ghost Honored Strongers (Class VIII Legends) would have great difficulty discerning his true identity.
Therefore, David didn’t need to waste time and effort refining the Blood Exchange Elixir to temporarily hide his identity.
“My rise to fame begins at Silver-Abyssal City!” David Jones’s eyes filled with anticipation.
After learning about Loona’s high treatment fees and skill level, David has already considered this foreign journey as an opportunity to gather rare resources and favors.
As long as David healed enough influential people along the way and became famous enough, a ticket to Loona’s upper rooms would naturally be presented to him.
“Sir, we are a few kilometers away from Mapleborough Village. Should we spend the night there, or should we pass through Mapleborough Village and head straight to Silver-Abyssal City?” Greenox respectfully asked.
“We’ll stay in Mapleborough Village for one night,” David responded.
The awakening of the Arcane Star takes time. Tonight, he could test Rossetti Lindwood’s ability to awaken her Arcane Star and become a Trainer.
“Wait, did you say Mapleborough Village is in the northeast direction?” David looked serious.
“Yes, sir,” Greenox replied, slightly puzzled.
Hasn’t the master never been to Silver-Abyssal City? How can he remember the direction of Mapleborough Village so clearly?
“Mapleborough Village might be in trouble!” David’s nose wrinkled as he detected a faint smell of blood in the wind.
Upon hearing this, Greenox seemed to think of something and shivered.
“Sir, would you like us to speed up and go there or take a detour?” Greenox’s voice was apprehensive.
If something happened to a village during the daytime, it could be havoc caused by a Beast, a Demonic Beast, or maybe even a disaster triggered by a Strong One’s anger. In any case, there would be a lot of trouble, and Greenox would choose to avoid it if it were up to him.
“Let’s go and see.”
As David’s words fell, Greenox immediately slapped the Plough Bull, causing the ox-cart’s speed to surge dramatically.
