Chapter 384: Another Deal
After receiving a bit of free advice, Sage wasnt quite done with the Inner World. He had to stop and ask something of Guan Zhenyan, You said I cant have the Universe Ring back until I pay you ten million Spirit Stones, but how about the price to retrieve some of the items out of it? There are two experiments I was working on that I wish to move to the Inner World.
Experiments? What do you mean?
These are two of my secrets. Since we are already tied together, please do not leak this to anyone else. The first experiment consists of special materials from a Hidden Domain. I am trying to get them to reproduce. The second experiment is based upon the techniques of an Arborist. Ive been breeding insects that are performing their basic techniques to try and grow magic tools.
Really now? How trusting of you. Now that I know of your secrets, dont you think Ill try and pry them out of your hands?
Forgive me, Sir, but even if you know of them you cannot access the Universe Ring. If anyone other than me could, theres no way the ring would have passed all the way to you. I think youd much rather I move these projects into my Inner World. Then, I can get your assistance improving them, and if they ever succeed you get a cut. Am I correct?
Sage chose to make a calculated risk here. Among his many secrets these werent directly impactful upon his combat ability. Also, hed already put his life into Guan Zhenyans hands multiple times and the man seemed to treat him fairly, even if it was only because Sage still had value to him. In fact, if he could get Guan Zhenyans assistance improving these two avenues of research then it could even raise his value. Sage didnt enjoy being kept around as a test subject, but it also meant that he had a very powerful person protecting him. Right now, with so many enemies, what he needed was protection and time to grow. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
Alright, youve piqued my interest. Ill let you access the Universe Ring, but we will stay linked. Do you dare to let me see inside?
This final condition made his heart beat harder. Could he let Guan Zhenyan see all the secrets hed hidden inside? What would he see? Sage quickly did a mental inventory of his important possessions. All the natural treasures and other crafting resources werent anything extraordinary. Only his unique creations or his few rare objects might catch Guan Zhenyans eyes. The Formation Machine, steam powered devices, and the Peachwood Ring. There were a few other oddities like that severed Armored Ghost Hand, a shed skin from when hed been a Naga, and the remainder of his auction winnings, but Sage didnt think Guan Zhenyan would care much about those. Most of the sensitive information was kept within Memory Spheres or his stacks of scroll manuals. All he had to do was refrain from looking in them and Guan Zhenyan couldnt take a peek.
Alright, I agree!
Sage pulled his consciousness out from the Inner World and back to the real world. He was still sitting in front of Guan Zhenyan with his legs crossed. The Storage Ring in his hands had been completely emptied out in the process of remodeling his Inner World. All of the seeds and small plants, along with thousands of unusual objects and resources had been placed in his Inner World to transform the environment into a massive farm. Guan Zhenyan stared at him for a few moments before he took out a small golden ring and tossed it to him.
Haha, bold claims. I suppose you want to sell those here, too? Pretty pushy. You probably just want to trick me into telling you where you are. Still plotting an escape, arent you? Nice try, but you arent going anywhere until you pay me back completely. The mental link, remember?
Sage grumbled. Guan Zhenyan laughed at him and told him to hurry up. With the sales pitch over, he didnt dally any longer and walked towards his experimental zones. The Stonesap Tree was growing to the side of the path and Sage made a plea, Oh, I forgot the Stonesap Tree. I was using it for insect nurturing, can I move it?
Fine, but hurry up already. Lets see these experiments.
Sage walked over to the first site, which looked like a sad excuse for a forest. There was an area of dark blue sand like soil that contained a pool of unknown watery liquid. Many small crystal trees, bushes and flowers had sprung up in the soil, but their growth looked stunted and far from thriving. In another nearby area, the ground was layered with brown crystals and sand containing a pool of transparent dark green liquid. Just like a heavily algae filled pool of water.
This is from the Hidden Domain. As you can see, I havent been very successful so far. Im trying to reproduce the lighting situation from the Hidden Domain, but its only just barely keeping them alive. Im not sure what the use of all this stuff is, but that green liquid seems to be an unrefined form of Gemsteel Acid. Even more amazing is that brown crystal acts like a low quality Spirit Crystal. If I could produce more of it and figure out how to refine it, I could make a fortune.
Haha, so these are your special materials from a Hidden Domain. Not too shabby, but unfortunately for you, youre missing a few things.
Wait, do you mean?
Yeah. Ive seen these things before, and youre not too far off. The bad news is that you dont have any hope of growing them without three very specific Heavenly Materials. You need the right Jewel, Wind, and Flame. Without that combination of air, light, and soil, you wont get anymore of that crystal. If you add on the right type of water you can get the gemsteel acid and a Heavenly Metal can actually jumpstart the production of gemsteel ore. On the other hand, the good news is that you were right about your earning potential. Now that youve got the starting remnants here, if you got your hands on those Heavenly Materials you could make a fortune.
Which Heavenly Materials?
Haha, since I cant get them for now youll have to pay extra if you want to know the names.
Sage grumbled about him being a cheapskate again and they abandoned the plans to move this experiment. Now that he knew it was pretty much impossible to do much better than he already had, he just left it alone. It had limped along for years already, all it took was a thought from him to put the whole area into stasis and they moved on.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
