Chapter 1172: Chapter 528: Methods for Collecting Cheating During Truancy, The City of Luoyi_2

"Lord Cain, what kind of divine artifact are you planning to create?" Amos couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The prices of these three materials were not significantly different from one another, clearly indicating they were not the main materials but secondary ones. If even a secondary material cost over ten or twenty million, how much spirituality would the main material require?

Moreover, Lord Cain provided five types of material names, two of which even the Craftsman’s Manual couldn’t produce. Those two materials might really be the main ones, so what kind of exorbitant value would the equipment crafted from them hold?

Amos opened his mouth but restrained himself from asking out loud. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"How can I dare to question the matters of a superior? Better to mind my own business than to meddle. I should just do my job and keep my mouth shut."

He was about to report the situation to Lord Cain, but then he suddenly realized something was off and was abruptly stunned.

"Last time after the Ceremony of Dedication, Lord Cain had managed to gather hundreds of millions in spirituality."

"Hundreds of millions of spirituality would be enough to create over a dozen sets of personalized equipment. This shows that Lord Cain’s crafting privileges are definitely higher than mine."

"But why didn’t he buy the materials himself from the Craftsman’s Manual and instead had me generate the blueprints?"

"Could it be..."

Amos subconsciously clutched his pocket, sweat pouring down his forehead.

All clues pointed to one possibility: Lord Cain wanted him to pay for the materials!

Keep in mind that fifty-plus million in spirituality was not a small number. Even though Amos still had his own grazing lands, it would take nearly half a year to gather that amount.

"How... how am I supposed to handle this?"

Amos stood frozen in place, as if under a paralysis spell, frantically sweating.

After panicking for a while, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Upon reflection, he admitted that Lord Cain had indeed been generous to him.

In the war among disciples, Lord Cain annihilated all competiting disciples, leaving bodies strewn everywhere and rivers of blood, a scene of carnage never seen before in such conflicts.

However, although Lord Cain killed all competitors, he spared Amos’s life alone.

Not only did he spare his life, but he also retained his title as the second disciple, graciously kept his grazing lands, and allowed him to follow in his footsteps, giving him the capital to turn his fortunes around.

Most importantly, judging by the prohibitively expensive equipment being crafted, Lord Cain’s strength had likely grown to a level he could only look up to but never catch up with.

With both grace and authority exhibited, the sincerity shown towards him as a subordinate was clear, and if he didn’t appreciate it and think of repaying his superior, could he even consider following Lord Cain any longer?

"Lord isn’t concerned about these few tens of millions of spirituality, he wants my declaration of loyalty!"

As Amos pondered more, the hesitation in his eyes gradually turned to resolution, and he gritted his teeth, mentally declaring: "It’s just over fifty million in spirituality! If I empty my savings and borrow a bit more, I can raise the amount!"

He said to Lord Cain on the other end of the phone, "Lord Cain, I will send you the materials shortly!"

"Please wait just a moment!"

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Lin Xun listened to the busy tone coming from his phone, utterly confused. What was Amos up to?

He hadn’t even asked about the price of the three materials yet, and Amos had hurriedly hung up

Lin Xun was unaware that on the other end of the call, Amos was already contacting acquaintances within the organization to borrow money.

Not only did the three materials deplete Amos’s savings, but they also left him with a sizable debt...

Not long after, the Underworld Game notified Lin Xun that he had received a new message in his Book of Letters.

He returned to the Kunlun Transfer Point with White Elephant Senior Brother using ’Star Realm Shift,’ and clicked the message option on the Rest Page.

[Amos: Lord Cain, this is a small token of my esteem, please do not refuse and accept it!]

Following the message was an attachment, with freshly prepared materials ’Mysterious Sea Ice Crystal Essence,’ ’Colorful Glazed Gold,’ and ’Vajra Desert Sandstone’ neatly lying there.

Seeing this, Lin Xun smiled and replied.

[Cain: Well done, I have felt your devotion.]

Amos held his phone and waited for a long time, finally receiving a reply from Lord Cain.

Upon seeing the content of the reply, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Amos knew that as long as he didn’t make any fundamental mistakes in the future, he could continue to cling to this powerful support.

"The equipment crafted by Lord Cain is so expensive, its grade must be extremely high."

"And a Shell can only wear equipment up to half a grade higher than its own grade at most. From this it can be seen that Lord Cain might have already broken through the Human and God Limit, becoming Immortal and Undying."

"Damn, that’s really fast, comparing oneself to others can really make one die of envy..."

"This means that Lord will soon be promoted to a Saint, and after his promotion, won’t I become the first Apostle?"

After pondering for a while, an immense feeling of joy overwhelmed Amos.

Once an Apostle is promoted to a Saint, they can no longer manage a parish And he had heard that for Immortal Level Apostles, spirituality wasn’t important anymore, it was just a long string of numbers.

For Saints, there are things more important than spirituality. After the promotion to a Saint, the Lord will bestow even more important things to the Saints.

If Lord Cain were to be promoted to a Saint, then Amos wouldn’t just be backed by an Immortal Level saintly powerhouse, but he would also inherited a part of Lord Cain’s parish, gaining an inexhaustible amount of spirituality.

"These fifty million units of spirituality were so worth spending!"

...

Lin Xun freeloaded three materials and instantly completed more than half of his collection task.

Of the remaining two materials, he had a vague location for the "Stone Treasure Mo Gold." After arriving at Luoyi, it should be possible to find it with some effort. Only the "Heavenly Dragon Stone Cave," where the "Bi Xia Gang Jade" was produced, was without any clues.

Upon hearing that he had obtained the secret method to construct the Dragon Watching Platform, Lu Wu could not help but feel a burst of joy.

[Lu Wu says to you, building the Dragon Watching Platform is the responsibility of the Mirage Dragon clan. He didn’t know how to use the secret method, but now that you’ve learned it, everything will be much easier.]

[He was originally hoping that you’d luckily encounter a Dragon Watching Platform that hadn’t been destroyed by the Buddhas, but now you can build one yourself.]

[As for the specific locations of the several materials, the mortal mines are as numerous as cow hair, and the God War is too ancient for him to remember; He will have to consult the texts and scriptures to confirm.]

[You wait here for a moment, and he’llcome back to tell you once he finds a clue...]

Lu Wu soon returned with good news and bad news.

The good news was that the scriptures clearly recorded three material locations, and the documentation was extremely precise.

Among them was the precise location of the West Bo Stone Treasure Trench, not as vague as recorded in the Vermillion Geography Records.

The bad news was that the "Heavenly Dragon Stone Cave," which produced the Bi Xia Gang Jade, only had a general location, situated within the territory of Yongning State.

And Yongning State encompassed more than ten large cities including Bingzhou City and several dozen small towns and counties; the range was simply too vast.

Lin Xun’s prediction was not wrong; the material distribution was indeed in the surrounding areas of the eastern path, with Bingzhou City being the last major city from Luoyi to the Capital City.

However, with just this information, finding the Bi Xia Gang Jade would be difficult; he would need to inquire further after arriving at Bingzhou City.

Lin Xun bid farewell to Lu Wu and left Kunlun. He and the White Elephant Demon spent more than half a day flying at high altitudes, finally arriving at "Luoyi."

However, the scene that met his eyes was shocking.

[...]

[The once prosperous Prefecture City under his feet had now turned into ruins, with only a few buildings still standing amidst the city.]

[As far as the eye could see, countless people aimlessly wandered the ruins, like zombies.]

[Their roaming eyes were filled with endless malice while their mouths were silently laughing.]

[Their grinning mouths stretched almost to their ears, the eerie smiles sending chills down one’s spine.]

[The White Elephant Demon couldn’t help but shiver and said to you, "Junior Brother, what on earth has happened to the mortal realm?"]

[As we travel eastward, why does the mortal world seem more and more like Hell the closer we get to our destination?]

[You looked down at those monsters who had completely fallen into Extreme Evil and sighed, "Senior Brother, it’s not that it’s like Hell; it’s that we, brothers, are in Hell..."]
