Chapter 804: Chapter 798: Hope for the Spirit Wood
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human emotions and worldly affairs.
David Jones looked at the jade box curiously, knowing that the treasure inside must be extraordinary.
Impressive, it’s Lilith’s assertiveness that stands out!
There weren’t many treasures that could make an Eighth Order Quasi-God covetous, and he never expected the teacher could casually give away such a treasure, one he himself would be reluctant to part with at such a great cost.
Of course, David Jones didn’t have many top-grade Beast Control Power resources that could interest the Sea-saving Turtle himself.
As for his sharing the Dragon Palace Dungeon, that was an exception.
Better to have one bird in hand than ten in the forest; he was naturally generous with resources that weren’t yet in his grasp.
After all, his ability to obtain the Dragon Palace plaque also meant that others, even other Beast Control Powers, could obtain it.
Moreover, the fact that the Sea-saving Turtle had survived beyond the limits of its lifespan to become an Eighth Order Quasi-God surely meant that it had devoured many treasures from the Dragon Palace.
Additionally, he didn’t overlook the faint injuries on the Sea-saving Turtle.
Knowing that the Dragon Palace was full of treasures, with plenty of top-grade healing mesonas for an Eighth Order Quasi-God, and yet this Quasi-God had not fully healed, suggested that the Pet Resources within the Dragon Palace treasury might have been exhausted.
Of course, these were just the speculations of David Jones, and were one of the reasons he was willing to share the Dungeon with his teacher.
“Teacher, what is inside this?” David Jones asked softly.
“The Pearl of the Martial Sea, this item is perfect as a meeting gift.”
As the teacher’s voice faded, the jade box quietly opened, revealing three irregularly shaped, translucent pearls.
The surface of the pearls was covered with layers of natural patterns resembling turtle shells, emitting a faint fragrance that made the Gluttonous Beast gulp.
[Pearl of the Martial Sea]: Level VII S tier Water type Epic resource, the pearl contains an abundance of Arcane Force from the water system, it is also one of the most cherished treasures among turtle-type Overlords.
Seeing this, golden light flickered and then disappeared in the depths of David Jones’s eyes.
“An Eighth Order Quasi-God could crush a Legend with ease; the fact that you were able to leave its presence unscathed shows its intent to kill you was not strong, and a potential for communication exists. Of course, it’s also possible that it was careless and did not use its full strength,” said Lilith Hoyle, her eyes firm and direct.
“If you don’t mind, I can go on your behalf.”
Tricks that have worked on an Eighth Order Quasi-God once are unlikely to be effective a second time.
That David Jones, with a Level VII body, escaped from a Quasi-God was a rare feat, but it did not guarantee his safe escape next time.
“Teacher, wouldn’t this be too risky?” David Jones hesitated.
The West Sea Dragon Palace was fraught with dangers, and without a Destiny Avatar, he truly feared for his teacher’s safety, that she might perish carelessly within.
“Don’t worry, I never do anything I’m not certain of,” Lilith Hoyle said with a confident smile.
Since the teacher had said as much, David Jones took out the Dragon Palace plaque from the Star Ring and handed it to her.
“Sit for a while; let me examine this,” said Lilith Hoyle, taking the plaque, her eyes shining slightly, evidently using some kind of insight secret technique.
After a while, she suddenly spoke, “This is a rare teleporting space arcane implement. It seems that the Sea-saving Turtle holds no killing intent for you; otherwise, with the Sea-saving Turtle race’s mastery over space powers, it could have used the spatial ripples you left behind to lock onto the location of the Dragon Palace plaque and force its way through space to appear.”
Recalling the towering pillar that crushed everything, David Jones asked tentatively, “Teacher, is it possible that the Sea-saving Turtle refrained from crossing the boundary to pursue the disciple in order to guard the gates of the Dragon Palace?”
Hearing this, Lilith Hoyle waved her hand dismissively, “Don’t underestimate the power of a Quasi-God. Even if the turtle didn’t tear through the space to come here, it could have released a Space Rule to crush this Dragon Palace plaque and injure you in the process. Any being below Legend facing a Rule attack is almost certain to die!”
She only said “almost” because her disciple was too strong; she feared that not even Rule attacks could harm David Jones.
“I see,” David Jones felt a bit of retrospect fear.
He had thought that using his Destiny Avatar to explore the Dragon Palace across realms was almost foolproof, yet he hadn’t realized there were so many vulnerabilities.
Luckily, he had told his teacher about the Dragon Palace Dungeon; otherwise, if he had angered the Sea-saving Turtle, he might not even know how he would have died.
“There’s no need to be too nervous. The Sea-saving Turtle didn’t destroy the Dragon Palace’s plaque, which means it doesn’t want to sever all ties with the outside world. There may be some secrets in that,” Lilith Hoyle said with a frown.
An unknown Eighth Order Quasi-God represented too many implications.
If this Quasi-God was willing to communicate and cooperate, the Flowery Kingdom could gain another powerful ally.
But if it harbored malice towards humans, after the conclusion of the god-slaying project, the Dragon Palace might very well become the Flowery Kingdom’s next strategic target.
And only by making contact with the Sea-saving Turtle could she make an accurate judgment.
Thinking of this, Lilith Hoyle looked at David Jones solemnly, “This time, we owe you a lot. Regardless of whether the communication goes smoothly or not, I will help you apply for a Level VIII Legendary resource from Rosewood College as a reward.”
Upon hearing this, David Jones’ eyes immediately lit up.
A mesona above all grows at Rosewood; if he could apply for a suitable legendary spirit wood, Lolo could directly break through and advance to a Legendary Class VIII beast.
By then, his title as Dragon Subduing Deity would truly fit.
Lilith Hoyle explained, “Don’t think it’s too little. Legendary resources are too precious. If Rosewood College can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Dragon Palace, it’s not just one legendary resource—I could even help you get your hands on ten.”
In fact, whether it’s alien beast and mesona, minerals and arcane crystals, or relics and dungeons, the ocean world possesses far more resources than the land.
Unfortunately, the deep sea is too dangerous, and not even extinct Immortals appeared there from time to time. Added to that, the difficulty of collecting ocean resources is immense; even a Legendary Beast Tamer riding a Water type Emperor might fall in the boundless deep sea.
Over time, Beast Tamers within Flowery Kingdom would rather adventure in the Savage Wasteland than venture into the boundless deep sea.
“Then, can I apply for a Level VIII Legendary spirit wood? Preferably pure Wood type,” David Jones said without hesitation.
Opportunities were knocking at his door, and he definitely wanted to seize them.
“Sure, you can pick any spirit wood you want. But first, I need to make contact with the Sea-saving Turtle,” Lilith Hoyle said with a smile.
David Jones was the contemporary Rosewood Leader, defeating Class VIII Legendary opposition in public and bringing great fame to Rosewood College.
Moreover, with his outstanding contribution in discovering the West Sea Dragon Palace, allocating a top-grade Level VIII legendary spirit wood was not excessive; even Lilith Hoyle felt that this reward seemed somewhat insufficient.
However, there was no way around it; she had to follow the procedural rules for applying for the resources from the Rosewood Holy Land.
“I always feel like this is a bit unfair to David Jones, should I dip into my own resources to compensate a bit?”
No sooner had the thought arisen than Lilith Hoyle unhesitatingly extinguished it.
Joking, you can take my life but not my legendary resources!
The legendary resources in her Star Ring were her future assistance and safeguard for breaking through to a Class IX Immortal!
Thinking of this, Lilith Hoyle glanced at her beloved disciple.
Well, she could let David Jones take the lion’s share of the Pet Resources found in the Dragon Palace.
