Tales of Demons And Gods-Chapter 297 - Reality
Chapter 297 - Reality
The third day was, once again, Venerable Redsoulβs lesson. π³π³πeπ¬πππ»πππ²l.ππο½
Gu Bei, Nie Li, and Lu Piao sat together.
Gu Bei secretly passed an interspatial ring of demon spirits to Nie Li and whispered in his ear, βNie Li, my underlings have caught another sixty thousand-something demon spirits!β
βNice! Thanks a lot. Here are six hundred spiritual stones!β Nie Li passed a bag to Gu Bei.
Gu Bei furrowed his brows briefly, then asked in an unhappy tone, βWhat are you doing?β He wasnβt helping Nie Li for a reward. Furthermore, those ordinary demon spirits werenβt worth much. This was just a small favor between friends. By giving him money, Nie Li wasnβt treating him like a friend!
Nie Li patted Gu Bei on the shoulder and smiled. βI wanted you to help me acquire some demon spirits with Dragon Bloodlines. Ordinary growth rates are fine.β
At Nie Liβs words, Gu Beiβs brows relaxed as he straightforwardly agreed. βEasy, no problem!β
Nie Li had exhausted another two hundred spiritual stones the night before. That speed was simply too frightening! In order to continue cultivating smoothly, he had to think of other ways to obtain more spiritual stones!
Simply selling God Level growth rate demon spirits was still far from enough, so Nie Li decided to aim for demon spirits with Dragon Bloodlines. However, he needed Gu Bei to secretly acquire the demon spirits first. He could only begin refining after heβd received enough materials.
In this lesson, the Venerable Redsoul was lecturing on cultivating combat abilities. He explained in simple terms as almost all of the students listened attentively.
Nie Li, on the contrary, was thinking about other things.
Everyone in the class had heard of the recent incidents through the grapevine gossip. Nie Li had undoubtedly become the most extraordinary person within the class. However, since Nie Li had defeated Long Yuyin, no one else dared to provoke him. Furthermore, Nie Li had also become the focus for all the girls.
Long Yuyin quietly sat in a corner, watching Nie Li. She knew that she wasnβt Nie Liβs match, since sheβd been defeated so thoroughly last time. However, she couldnβt call up the slightest bit of hatred for him. Instead, it was strong curiosity and the desire to challenge him.
She wanted to know how Nie Li cultivated. That man was filled with all kinds of mysteries.
She understood that if she bothered Nie Li any more, sheβd only succeed in making him hate her even more. The only way she could gain the qualifications to talk to him was by becoming stronger. Since she was young, Nie Li had been the only person of her age whoβd beaten her. He was the only one among their generation whoβd gained her recognition in terms of strength! In addition, Nie Liβs actions had also made her to re-examine her past actions, and allowed her to change and grow as a person.
As Venerable Redsoul continued to explain the lesson, the class remained abnormally quiet.
Nie Liβs thoughts drifted off into the distance. He hadnβt seen his Master since that unexpected meeting in the Saint Soul Grounds. He couldnβt help wondering if his Master was still living in that valley. Nie Li recalled the memories from his previous life and was filled with longing towards his Master. He briefly entertained the thought of visiting her in that valley, then made the decision to do so.
The Venerable Redsoul smiled. βDemon spirits are the most important factor in cultivating combat abilities. As of now, the demon spirits that you guys are integrated with arenβt that strong. Only after youβve reached the Heavenly Fate Realm will you be able to integrate with better demon spirits, especially ones with Dragon Bloodlines.β
βAs geniuses with Heaven Spiritual Roots, I hope that youβll integrate with a Dragon Bloodline demon spirit with at least an Extraordinary Level growth rate. That will also greatly benefit your future development!β
At Venerable Redsoulβs words, many of the disciples from smaller realms sighed. Dragon Bloodline demon spirits were already extremely expensive. One with an Ordinary growth rate would cost one to two spiritual stones, but one with a Good growth rate would cost seventy to eighty spiritual stones. Those with Excellent growth rates might even price in the thousands. Generally, Extraordinary Level demon spirits were only obtainable for disciples with good family backgrounds! Ordinary families wouldnβt do either; only those with deep backgrounds would be capable.
Where would students like them get an Extraordinary Level Dragon Bloodline from?
Compared to that, itβd be much smarter to get an ordinary God Level demon spirit.
The price of an ordinary God Level demon spirit was more or less the same as a Good Level Dragon Bloodline demon spirit, or maybe even slightly higher. However, the price itself wasnβt that bad, and the quality-price ratio was still pretty high. Therefore, ordinary God Levels were best-sellers among ordinary disciples.
As for God Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirits, those were simply priceless. Even the three major families only had a few hundred experts integrated with God Level Dragon Bloodline demon spirits.
That was strategic power!
The central pillar of the Divine Feathers Sect!
In the recent years, thereβd been many deaths among pinnacle experts with God Level Dragon Bloodline demon spirits. That was part of the reason why the Divine Feathers Sect had declined. However, since the Divine Feathers Sect was once a powerful sect, it still had a solid foundation. As long as the sect could produce more powerful experts with God Level Dragon Bloodline demon spirits, itβd only be a matter of time until the sect returns to its glory days.
That was why Nie Liβs Nightmare Demon Pot was an absolutely priceless treasure! It was also why he was so cautious every time he refined demon spirits.
Venerable Redsoul swept an eye over the murmuring students and smiled. βNaturally, youβll only come across an Extraordinary Level Dragon Bloodline by extremely sheer luck. So if you canβt find an Extraordinary Level demon spirits with a Dragon Bloodline, an Excellent Level one will do. You should wait until youβve reached the Heavenly Fate Realm. When that time comes, youβll be allowed into the outside world to hunt for Dragon Bloodlines yourselves. Youβll be able to take your time and search carefully!β
For those without family backgrounds, trying to obtain an Extraordinary or God Level demon spirit would be nearly impossible!
Jin Yan glanced at Nie Li and a smile of disdain leaked from the corner of his mouth. Right now, Nie Liβs talent was stronger and surpassed his own, but so what? Jin Yanβs family had already prepared an Extraordinary Level Dragon Bloodline demon spirit for him. Just wait until he reached the Heavenly Fate Realm, then heβd start integrating with it!
As for Nie Li, heβd be lucky if he could find even an Excellent Level Dragon Bloodline. Or he might not even be able to accomplish that much!
That was the gap between their social statuses. Even if Nie Li joined a family, that family might not be willing to provide Nie Li with an Extraordinary demon spirit. If he joined a family, heβd only end up being a lapdog. Thereβd always be a distinct difference between him and the familyβs blood members!
This was the case in all the sects, not just the Divine Feathers Sect. Geniuses from the smaller realms were usually tamed by the larger families and turned into underlings, forever at the mercy of their respective families. Although, of course, there were some astonishing geniuses who could shape their own fates. However, throughout history, there were only a few such people and all had become distant legends. πreπwπππππ―ππ.c૦π
The blood members of the families enjoyed eternal riches and the familyβs protection. Even if they committed a wrong, as long the punishment wasnβt something akin to a death sentence, theyβd still walk out fine. This was far different from the geniuses of smaller realms whose fates were already decided by the heavens. If a smaller realm genius wound up dead, there wouldnβt even be anyone to mourn them.
This was the Draconic Ruins Realm, a sect-family that had progressed to the peak.
At first, geniuses of the smaller realms all believed that the world was a fair place; but sooner or later, theyβd all get smoothed out. The majority of them would join families and exchange their loyalty for other benefits.
Since Nie Li had displayed such shocking talent, heβd attracted the attentions of many higher-ups. These higher-ups would definitely do their best to protect Nie Liβs life; however, as far as they were concerned, students with such shocking talent really should suffer some bullying, so that they wonβt let their strength get to their heads. That would also make them easier to control in the future!
The corner of Jin Yanβs mouth curled into a cold smile. Those whoβd come from smaller realms all wanted to climb to the top; however, they didnβt realise that sometimes, there was an unbridgeable gap! And Nie Li was the same as them!
He wanted to see what heights Nie Li would reach without joining a family!
During the lesson, Venerable Redsoul explained many things about demon spirits, as well as his own understandings towards integrating with them. The students greatly benefitted from the lecture. Soon, the lesson was over.
βGo back and revise on what youβve learned. If there are any questions or something that youβre unsure about, please ask about it in the next lesson.β Venerable Redsoul casually smiled. βClass ends here!β
Nie Li walked out with Lu Piao and Gu Bei in tow.
Gu Bei looked at Nie Li and said, βNie Li, I heard that you sold a ton of God Level demon spirits?β
βThatβs right.β Nie Li knew that Gu Bei would definitely enquire about it; furthermore, Gu Bei was certain to link it to Nie Liβs requests for ordinary demon spirits. Gu Bei might look like a stupid playboy, but he was actually a really smart guy.
Gu Bei laughed, βIf you have so many ordinary God Level demon spirits, βdonβt let the good water flow into someone elseβs fieldβ[1. Chinese idiom meaning βkeep the good stuff for yourself and your familyβ.]. A few of my cousins have some men whoβve got more men under them. Those guys have been looking for some good stuff to win peopleβs hearts over, in terms of recruiting. Other possibilities aside, several hundred God Level demon spirits would work perfectly fine. Of course, if thereβre any Dragon Bloodlines with an Excellent Level growth rate or above, thatβd be even better! As for pricing, we definitely wonβt pay anything lower than Li Xingyun!β
The Gu Clan was extremely large and their power reached into all parts of the Divine Feathers Sect. So it was natural that theyβd need lots of God Level demon spirits.
Nie Li said, βPlease forgive me for not being so thoughtful!β It never crossed his mind that Gu Bei might also need some God Level demon spirits. He looked at Gu Bei and continued, βYouβre not going to ask how I got those God Level demon spirits?β
Gu Bei gave Nie Li a meaningful look and winked. βThatβs your secret. What right do I have to pry?β
Only Lu Piao couldnβt understand what they were talking about. βEven if you can pay for so many God Level demon spirits, where are we supposed to find them?β
Lu Piao had always been frank and outspoken; he wasnβt someone who hid his thoughts. Nie Li wasnβt going to let Lu Piao know about the Nightmare Demon Pot, in case Lu Piao leaked it out by accident.
On the other hand, Gu Bei had probably guessed it. However, he was a pretty loyal guy, and Nie Li was rather grateful for that. βThanks! Once I get more God Level demon spirits, Iβll make sure to find you in your courtyard!β Doing business with Gu Bei would be much safer than doing business with others. However, Nie Li planned to sell a massive amount that not even Gu Bei would be able to take. Therefore, he also had to maintain a relationship with Li Xingyun.
