Chapter 2312: Chapter 2312: Mission Accomplished [Third Update]
Jing Yan took the Clear Wave Cavern classics and immediately began cultivating, which made Kong You Immortal Venerable slightly surprised; he felt Jing Yan was a bit too impatient.
How could he know that Jing Yan had come from the Mixed Element Immortal Domain to the Nightmare City region precisely for Soul Techniques? Now that he had finally obtained the High-level Soul Technique Clear Wave Cavern, he naturally had to cultivate it at once before he could feel at ease.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, how does it feel?" Kong You Immortal Venerable, seeing Jing Yan absorb the Divine Soul Energy within the classics, asked with a smile.
To master a High-level Soul Technique was of course extremely difficult. The more powerful a Soul Technique, the harder it was to master, and the higher the requirements for the Divine Soul Body.
"A very powerful Soul Technique. Many thanks, Kong You." Jing Yan said.
Obtaining one Clear Wave Cavern was already enough for Jing Yan himself. This Soul Technique was different from ordinary Spells; mastering more Soul Techniques would not greatly enhance a cultivator’s own Combat Power. For Soul Techniques, it was enough to possess one powerful one.
Activating a Soul Technique required the consumption of Divine Soul Power.
And although there were many types of Soul Techniques, the differences between these Soul Techniques were much smaller than those between ordinary Spells. Ordinary Spells were divided into various Dao Skill attributes, whereas Soul Techniques had no such distinction. If a cultivator pursued too many Soul Techniques, not only would there be no benefit, there would even be drawbacks; cultivating Soul Techniques also required a large amount of resources and much more energy.
"Kong You, to cultivate the Soul Technique Clear Wave Cavern, I still need quite a lot of materials. You are the strongest Soul Cultivator in the Nightmare City region, you should have many materials needed for cultivating Soul Techniques, right? I wonder if I can purchase them from you?" Jing Yan turned and asked.
Purchasing materials was a must.
Of course, if Kong You Immortal Venerable refused to sell him materials, he could still buy them elsewhere. In the Nightmare City region, there were relatively many materials needed for Soul Technique cultivation; even for this High-level Soul Technique, as long as one had enough Black Crystal Stones, one could still buy the required materials. Jing Yan wanted to purchase from Kong You Immortal Venerable simply for convenience.
"That’s easy to arrange. So long as I have the materials here, I can sell them all to Fellow Daoist Jing Yan." Kong You Immortal Venerable smiled and continued, "Fellow Daoist Jing Yan can temporarily stay here at my Soul Leaving Mountain. After you’ve determined the materials you need, just come directly to me."
Although Clear Wave Cavern was taken out by Kong You Immortal Venerable, he himself had not cultivated this Soul Technique, so he was not clear on the specific materials needed to cultivate Clear Wave Cavern.
Jing Yan, however, shook his head.
He took out a blank piece of Beast Skin and slightly urged his Divine Power; line after line of writing appeared on the Beast Skin.
In just a single breath’s time, Jing Yan had written down the types and quantities of materials he needed on the Beast Skin. When Jing Yan handed the Beast Skin to Kong You Immortal Venerable, Kong You was still a bit puzzled as to what this meant.
"Kong You Immortal Venerable, can these materials be gathered here at Soul Leaving Mountain?" Jing Yan asked.
"This..." Kong You Immortal Venerable quickly swept his gaze over the materials listed on the Beast Skin.
Although he did not know the exact materials required to cultivate Clear Wave Cavern, he did know that all the various materials marked on the Beast Skin Jing Yan handed him were used for cultivating Soul Techniques.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, are these materials to be used for cultivating Clear Wave Cavern?" Kong You Immortal Venerable found it somewhat hard to believe.
After cultivating Soul Technique Books, just like ordinary Spells, cultivators would know the specific materials needed to cultivate and master them. But Kong You Immortal Venerable had not expected Jing Yan to figure out the materials he needed so quickly.
"Precisely." Jing Yan nodded.
Kong You Immortal Venerable stared at Jing Yan; the events that had happened today which surprised him were indeed a bit too many.
"I have all these materials here. Mm, I’ll prepare them right away. However, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, some of these materials are extremely valuable." Kong You Immortal Venerable said.
No matter how much he wanted to befriend Jing Yan, he could not possibly give these materials to Jing Yan for free; the quantity was simply too large.
"Kong You, just go ahead and calculate. However many Black Crystal Stones are needed, just tell me directly." Jing Yan said indifferently.
The Black Crystal Stones on him, after repeated expenditures, still numbered more than four hundred billion.
"This batch of materials requires one hundred and thirty billion Black Crystal Stones." Kong You Immortal Venerable quickly reported a figure.
His asking price for this batch of materials was really extremely low. If Jing Yan bought this batch of materials from those commercial organizations within Nightmare City, the Black Crystal Stones spent would likely be around one hundred and eighty billion.
Hearing this price, Jing Yan did not hesitate at all and directly took out one hundred and thirty billion Black Crystal Stones from the Qiankun World and handed them to Kong You Immortal Venerable.
"Kong You, I’ll give you the Black Crystal Stones first. Once the materials are prepared, you can hand them to me. These few days, I’ll stay at Soul Leaving Mountain." Jing Yan said.
Kong You Immortal Venerable glanced at Jing Yan, then at the Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. He thought to himself that Jing Yan’s Black Crystal Stones might have been obtained from the Great Demon Lord.
In the Nightmare City region, there were not many cultivators who could so straightforwardly take out more than two hundred billion Black Crystal Stones. The quantity of ordinary resources in the Nightmare City region could not compare with the Mixed Element Immortal Domain. Here, only things related to Soul Cultivators were cheap.
"Very well." Kong You Immortal Venerable responded.
In the following days, Jing Yan stayed at Soul Leaving Mountain. The Great Demon Lord also did not leave ahead of time; she planned to return to Iron Bay together with Jing Yan.
During these few days, quite a number of Overlord Level figures came to visit Jing Yan. Ever since the incident that day at the Soul Testing Stone Square, these Overlord Level figures had been inquiring about the recent major events that had taken place in Iron Bay.
Upon investigation, they also confirmed that incident: the Youlong Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain had indeed died, and had truly died at Jing Yan’s hands.
When Youlong Demon Lord died, the four Overlord Level existences of Iron Bay had all been present, and there were also a large number of cultivators who had witnessed it with their own eyes. Thus, this news could not contain any falsehood.
Precisely because of this, these Overlord Level figures all voluntarily went to visit Jing Yan. Whether or not they would have use for Jing Yan in the future, they at least wanted to familiarize themselves with him first; perhaps this might prove useful someday.
Gradually, even some major figures from within Nightmare City itself personally came to Soul Leaving Mountain to pay their respects to Jing Yan. Jing Yan’s reputation truly spread throughout the Nightmare City region.
On the seventh day, Kong You Immortal Venerable brought over the materials Jing Yan needed and personally handed them to Jing Yan. This was a batch of materials worth more than a hundred billion Black Crystal Stones; Kong You Immortal Venerable naturally had to be cautious. If he did not personally deliver them to Jing Yan, he would not feel at ease.
After obtaining the materials, Jing Yan no longer had any reason to remain; he then bade farewell to Kong You Immortal Venerable and left Nightmare City together with the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Great Demon Lord, returning to Iron Bay.
After arriving at Iron Bay, Jing Yan did not go to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain again, but went instead to Bai City.
Back when he was at the Summoning Divine Hall, he had promised Bai Bingli that after stepping into the Immortal Venerable Realm, he would continue to serve for ten thousand years. The constraint of that vow was very strong for a cultivator, and Jing Yan would naturally not lightly violate his own oath.
