Chapter 1546: Eliminate Red
Unfortunately, there's no chance to try it now. From the moment he stepped onto Platform Six, it was like giving Xue Hanyue a hard slap, right? That girl probably can't wait to tear him apart now, and you think you can still extort her? Dream on.
"Is there any other way? Something more reliable." Su Chen was simply speechless.
"There is. There's another highly reliable method. Mhm, it can also make a lot of money." The old man suddenly smiled broadly: "Are you sure you want to know?"
"I'm sure." Su Chen nodded emphatically.
"Eliminate Red." The old man said solemnly, his expression serious, less playful.
"What do you mean? Eliminate Red?" Su Chen was completely baffled.
"The Minor World where the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion is located was carved out by our ancestors billions of years ago, at that time, it consumed endless manpower and resources."
"Our ancestors used many astonishing means to ensure the prosperity of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion's descendants. If nothing unexpected happened, the Spiritual Energy concentration within this Minor World would have remained at an extremely terrifying level."
"However, 30 million years ago, an accident caused the Spiritual Energy concentration in this Minor World to start gradually decreasing," the old man said in a faint voice, with a hint of sighing and reminiscence in his tone.
Su Chen's eyes flickered, but he said nothing and continued to listen.
"This accident was when a Vice Pavilion Master of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, while completing a task in the Void, provoked a terrifying species, and he didn't even know that when he returned to Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, he brought this species back."
"At that time, there was only one of this species, but later its reproduction rate was so fast, it only took less than ten years to become tens of thousands."
"This species is very special, having no nose, eyes, or other facial features, and no hands, feet, or limbs, nor any scales or the like. It was like a mass of red mist, viscous and shapeless. Our ancestors called it 'Red'."
"Although Red doesn't possess strong combat power, it has extremely terrifying vitality. At that time, the Pavilion Master, Vice Pavilion Master, and even Supreme Pavilion Master of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion used all kinds of methods, like Wind Blade, True Fire, Divine Thunder, and Divine weaponry, but unfortunately, it was very difficult to eliminate them, almost always dispersing only for them to regenerate, undying and indestructible, extremely hard to deal with."
"Over time, the number of 'Red' grew, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, millions, and even tens of millions."
"At first, our ancestors didn't realize the consequences brought by 'Red' because 'Red' didn't attack proactively and had no destructive power. But over time, we realized, we were wrong!!! Terribly wrong!"
"'Red' isn't without attack power or destructive power, instead, its attack and destruction are silent, it absorbs Spiritual Energy, madly plundering the Heaven and Earth's Spiritual Energy."
"The Minor World where Xuanshi Divine Pavilion is located, this dense Spiritual Energy Minor World that generations of our ancestors paid a great price for, became the nurturing ground for 'Red', they reproduced frantically, wantonly absorbing Spiritual Energy."
"In these 30 million years, the Spiritual Energy concentration in the Minor World where Xuanshi Divine Pavilion is located has been decreasing every moment."
"Now, although the Spiritual Energy concentration in this Minor World is still higher than the outside, if this continues, maybe in another 10 million years, it won't be as good as the outside. Eventually, this Minor World might become a dead space."
"This Minor World is too important for Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, there are too many formations, Secret Techniques, Divine Skills, Secret Realms, Treasured Lands left by Xuanshi Divine Pavilion within. We can't leave; if we leave proactively, the overall strength of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion would decrease by at least 30%, and by then, we would be devoured by the other Three Great Divine Pavilions."
"But if we don't leave, we can only quietly wait for the day this Minor World exhausts its Spiritual Energy."
"To eliminate 'Red', Xuanshi Divine Pavilion tried countless methods. Heaven rewards the diligent, it was 3.6 million years ago when Elder Zhao accidentally discovered a fatal weakness of 'Red'."
"This weakness is, 'Red' can be refined and merged by the Dantian of human Martial Cultivators!"
......
"Huh?" Hearing to the end, Su Chen was somewhat stunned, such a terrifying undying and indestructible 'Red', can be refined and merged by the Dantian of Martial Cultivators?
"Isn't it surprising?" The old man said with a bitter smile: "Not only that, but if the Dantian of a human Martial Cultivator refines and merges with 'Red', absorbs it, it also has some stabilizing and promoting effect on the Martial Cultivator's Dantian, anyway, there are some benefits."
"Since that's the case, shouldn't 'Red' be able to be eliminated?" Su Chen asked, the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion isn't short of Martial Cultivators, just send hundreds of thousands of Martial Cultivators to absorb and refine 'Red', wouldn't that solve it?
"It's not that simple. Although the Dantian of human Martial Cultivators can absorb 'Red', we found that there is a limit. Generally, a Martial Cultivator's Dantian seems to become saturated after refining ten 'Reds'." The old man sighed, "Very few with terrifying talent might absorb thirty to fifty 'Reds'."
"The more terrifying the Martial Cultivator's talent for martial cultivation, correspondingly, the more terrifying the Dantian, because the Dantian is like the source power for Martial Cultivators. So, this way, the amount of 'Red' absorbed reflects the intensity of a Martial Cultivator's Dantian, indirectly reflecting their talent for martial cultivation." Su Chen's eyes lit up as he spoke.
"Exactly. Therefore, every batch of new students, the first thing they do when entering the Divine Pavilion is to go to Ghost Red Mountain to eliminate Red." The old man nodded, "The higher the number of eliminated Red, the more attention is paid, and the disciple's rank will also increase accordingly. Additionally, for Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, eliminating Red naturally counts as a contribution. So, for every Red eliminated beyond a basic number, there is a reward of a Will Crystal. The basic number is 10."
Su Chen swallowed his saliva.
He felt hot all over.
He himself has no Dantian, only a Divine Mansion.
Since the Dantian can eliminate Red, then the Divine Mansion should be able to too.
If the Divine Mansion can really eliminate Red, then... wouldn't he make a fortune?
Considering the consistent abnormality of the Divine Mansion, it might be able to eliminate thousands or tens of thousands of Reds? By then, the Will Crystals would come flooding in!
Thinking about it, Su Chen suddenly looked deeply at the old man: "Old man, saying so much, you just want me to eliminate Red; do you also know I'm a new student?"
"Yes," the old man didn't deny it, "I've never seen you before, so naturally, you're a new student. If not a new student, you must have visited Xuanbao Pavilion."
"How do I go about eliminating Red?" Su Chen asked in a deep voice.
