Spirit Vessel

Chapter 879: Gathering Talismans

Three prodigies watched the battle from a distance.

"Ninth Brother, I want to fight that half-demon." Thirteenth Master Gu's battle spirit surged.

Feiyun was only a first-level Nirvana and managed to kill four cultivators at the same level as him or higher. Thirteenth Master Gu was a battle maniac so he wanted to give it a shot.

"What's the point? Just a first-level half-demon." Ninth Master Gu chuckled: "They're going towards the main branch of the half-demon alliance. I heard all the top half-demon geniuses are going there, it looks like the man is one of them, carefully groomed by the alliance."

"I heard that half-demons are eligible to enter the battlefield this year, just very few in number. They want to earn respect by contributing there, what a joke. They have no idea how terrifying the battlefield is. Five hundred half-demons? They'll be lucky if five can come back alive, let alone contribute anything." Yu Shao snorted with disdain.

"They do have some decent characters though, like that one earlier. Eighth likes half-demon girls, right? Thirteenth, go back and tell him that all the top female half-demons will gather at this branch in Crimson, I'm sure he'll be interested."

"I will, I'm sure he'll like that purple-haired girl just now, haha!" Thirteenth Master Gu laughed.

Ninth Master Gu and Yu Shao exchanged glances before smiling.

The eighth and ninth young master of the Gu were competing for the successor's spot. Scheming against each other happened quite often.

Crimson Leaf, Profound Continent, an ancient city.

This city has been around for several million years. Legendary characters have left their marks here. Numerous timeworn clans have taken roots in this place.

Those capable of having a residence in the city were all big shots.

"Eighth Brother, I'm not here because of Ninth Brother, I'm telling the truth. I saw a half-demon at Ice Market the other day with a great figure and perfect skin with a pair of red wings. Can't find a human girl like her. I heard all the top half-demons are gathering in Crimson Leaf right now, don't miss it because who knows when the next event will be?

Eighth Master Gu was tall and muscular. He contemplated and said: "Is Ninth trying to test my ability or my courage?"

"This has nothing to do with Ninth Brother." Thirteenth Master Gu laughed.

"Regardless of his involvement, I'll go to their main branch tomorrow. If he thinks a few half-demons can cause trouble to me, he truly underestimates me." Eighth Master Gu touched his jade ring and said before leaving.

"Eighth and Ninth Brother are too smart, there's nothing they don't know." Thirteenth Master Gu rubbed his head, feeling that he was stupid in comparison.

Suddenly, purple smoke descended from above and condensed into the shape of a young noble holding a paper fan, looking like an immortal.

Thirteenth Master Gu saw the purple-robed young noble; his expression soured and wanted to run: 'Why is she here, so goddamn unlucky today. She didn't see me, she didn't see me…'

"Thirteenth, why are you running so fast after seeing me? Do I bite?" The young noble walked coolly forward while waving her fan. Her features were exquisite just like an immaculate sculpture.

"Oh, I didn't see you, Lady from the Territory Residence…" Thirteenth Master Gu stopped; his face looked as if he was at a funeral. He turned around and bowed towards the young noble.

"Shut up!" She touched his forehead with her paper fan. It pulsed brightly and resembled a sword.

"I, I meant to say Young Noble… What brings you here to Profound?" Thirteenth Master Gu got the urge to kneel on the ground. He was afraid of this person.

Not to mention him, even his Eighth and Ninth Brothers were afraid of her.

"It's half a month from now till the ancient battlefield date. Tell Eighth and Ninth that if they don't join my team this time, it won't end well for them." She traced her fan down his face before stopping at his neck.

"They have decided to join your team, Young Noble. They even convinced other prodigies from Immemorial City to join you, I'm sure they have no other plan." Thirteen Master Gu nearly cried.

"Good, they're smart then." She smiled and pulled her paper fan back: "What did you talk to Eighth about earlier? I heard something about the half-demon alliance?"

"No, I didn't say anything…"

"Seems like only a dead man is honest."

Thirteenth Master Gu begrudgingly told the truth: "I went to the ice market with Eighth Brother today and saw three half-demons…"

He knew that she was extremely smart and didn't dare to hide anything.

"Ninth is so treacherous now, trying to scheme against his own brother. Hmm, all the half-demon geniuses are here, what about that first-generation one? Keke, how amusing."

Back at the alliance, Feiyun gave Ye Xiaomu and Li Lang one typha root each. He told them to bring the other two to Elder Mu and Zhan Shidao.

He was at the peak historical level. Not to mention the typha root, even the spirit halcyon wouldn't be able to improve his innate talents.

He needed to train harder in order to become a mythical genius. After giving away the roots, he spent the whole night running back to the ice market.

He changed his appearance and clothes, assuming the guise of a mighty old man.

"Hey, remember to buy worm-hole stones before entering the battlefield, be ready to run whenever. Buy firmament talismans too, at least two even if they're really expensive." A turtle stretched its head out of his robe and blabbered.

"I know already." Feiyun pushed its head back into his robe after arriving at the market.

There were more people here now. The streets were lit up with lamps; spirit beasts circled above.

He entered the store belonging to Firecloud Ground again and spent 8,000,000 spirit stones for eight Nirvana Pills.

They were meant to be used before a rebirth session, able to increase the success rate by seven percent.

He then entered a store specializing in talismans and bought a Heaven's Emergence talisman. Just a low-level one cost him ten million spirit stones.

He spent the eighteen million stones that he got from selling the Buddhist pills in no time at all.

"Told you to stop being so wasteful, now you're out of money." The turtle said.

Feiyun thought that he was poor now. It's easy to make money at Sixth Central, the same with spending it.

In the end, he had no choice but to sell the grass and herbs from Heavenly Kingdom. The place had plenty of old herbs that were quite valuable - some more than ten thousand years old.

One of them would sell for around 100,000 spirit stones. He sold several bundles and got another 13,000,000 spirit stones.

"I need to bring some treasures back from the battlefield. I don't feel safe without a set of armor in the hundreds million range."

He eventually spent all of his money and bought eight offensive talismans, another twenty defensive ones, and ten Kun Peng ones for speed.

These were popular talismans. Each cost more than 100,000 spirit stones. Even the elders from the old clans couldn't afford them.

Among the offensive ones, four were lightning tribulation talismans refined by a fourth-level Nirvana ancestor. They contained a strike similar to seventy percent of his power.

Three were heavenly flame talismans, more expensive than the lightning ones. One could turn ten thousand miles into a fiery domain of death. They cost 300,000 spirit stones each.

The last one was a firmament talisman created by a fifth-level ancestor. For some strange reason, a tiny corner was torn off. Feiyun spent 1,000,000 spirit stones, wanting to use it as one of his ace cards.
