Chapter 1035 Little Demons Are Hard to Deal With
Zoena forcefully grabbed Undine. She felt regret that she had never felt before. She was the one who had brought Undine here and also the one who suggested that Undine get rid of her first-night curse here.
If Undine actually fell in love with that damned human… What would that Lord think? Even though Seductresses did not have the concept of loyalty, love was different. This word also existed in the world of the Seductresses. Most Seductresses would not fall in love, but once they fell in love… everything would be different.
When Zoena thought of this terrifying thing, her heart trembled in fright as if she was in ice. This made her full of hate. Why couldn’t that human just be obedient and die?
…
A sense of glory had been released in the Heavenly Treasures Street. In the divine territory, large civilizations monopolized resources, while the bottom-dwelling civilizations needed the protection of other powers. Like so, the inconspicuous Heavenly Treasures had a prominent figure behind it. Wolf goblin Basir was also extremely enthusiastic. To him, Lao Wang’s awesomeness was off the charts. Even if he was made to eat faeces, it would be glorious to follow this kind of figure, let alone being allowed to handle ordinary and trivial matters. However, if he expanded his range, he would not have enough manpower and funds.
Luckily, the 10,000 Silver Star Stones that the Flamerock leader had provided as compensation resolved this trouble. Old Cow waved his hand and immediately gave him 100 Silver Star Stones. It might be insufficient to save people, and they could not spend money to do so, but if they wanted to look for people and determine their targets, it would be enough money.
Furthermore, there was the matter of medicinal materials. According to Wang Zhong’s instructions, they did not deliberately have to choose the best ingredients. As long as they could be used, it was fine. Lao Wang had a lack of funds and would save every cent he could save. After all, with the fragment world present, he did not need to worry about the quality of the low-end ingredients at all.
They finished this matter extremely quickly and appropriately before looking for a specialized transportation company. Besides gathering 17 portions of medicinal ingredients for the pill, as well as some letters regarding the current situation of the humans and the Firerock leader, the remaining 5,000 Silver Star Stones were all sent over.
…
To Wang Zhong, the current situation of the humans was expected. After all, even before he had left, wolf goblin Basir had been busy with this. He already knew that there were not many humans in Catanlyke District. However, the incident involving the Firerock leader alarmed him. After all, a level-6 civilization with such strength did not belong in the Catanlyke District; for them to suddenly cast their greedy eyes on a low-leveled place like Heavenly Treasures Street that did not bring about much profit undoubtedly made him uncertain. It was as if they were deliberately targeting Heavenly Treasures Street.
Lao Wang could not be certain about this. Mismatch of information was a problem that bottom-dwelling civilizations had to face.
He could only remember this guess that he had no clues about. Wang Zhong was not very conflicted. Meanwhile, he checked the medicinal ingredients that Old Cow had sent over. When he combined these ingredients with the batch of ingredients that Jhonas had gathered, he had accumulated 20 portions. The 5,000 Silver Star Stones that had been sent over were also considered timely help. He had just been worried that he did not have enough money to rent a pill furnace.
Even though the quality of the ingredients that Old Cow had sent over were not bad, Wang Zhong still placed all of them in his fragment world to “coat them with gold”. With the current strength of the spiritual power in the fragment world, it had become much easier to promote these low-leveled spiritual medicines, and the efficiency was also very high. In just two to three days, all the medicinal ingredients had been prepared. At the same time, he had just received a letter from Titan supervisor Tsargesimon: practice the Spirit Explosion Technique and the Windless Steps until one was skilled and had mastered them. The next Combat Cultivation Hall lesson would be five days later.
The Windless Steps had been taught in the previous lesson and could be considered as special steps. However, in reality, it was a way to use one’s speed that was based on the basics of the Spirit Explosion Technique.
Frequent holidays were a common occurrence in the Combat Cultivation Hall. The Titan supervisor probably had some entertainment activity that he could not get away from. Lao Wang was also speechless. After some careful calculations, there were not many Combat Cultivation Hall classes as compared to the Weapon Refinery Hall.
If one wanted to refine pills, it was best to go to Furnace Mountain, which was the most sacred place in the entire Pill Refinery Hall. The natural furnace-shaped geography was rich in spiritual influence, and the efficiency of forming pills was much higher. However, the cost of renting pill furnaces was also extremely shocking. There was simply no need for external conditions that were too good in order to refine pills that were below level-6.
Furthermore, at the outskirts of Furnace Mountain was the Pill Refinery District. Although it was not the core of Furnace Mountain, it contained some “pill influence” from there and had a superior environment. There were many pill refinery rooms for rent, and the prices were not as exaggerated as within Furnace Mountain. Many new pupils from the Pill Refinery Hall often came here. Naturally, this was also Lao Wang’s best choice.
He let Jhonas know that he was leaving. He brought 20 portions of ingredients for the Vitality Supplement Pill as well as some food. Lao Wang did not know how long he would spend refining 20 portions of ingredients. It would be very normal for him to stay in the pill refinery room for eight to 10 days. If he had to miss the Combat Cultivation Hall classes, he could only get Jhonas to help him ask for leave.
Meanwhile, Nini could not wait and was full of confidence. “Relax, Master. With your natural endowments and Nini around, it will take at most three days!”
Natural endowments? Lao Wang could not help but rub his nose. He had never officially refined pills before, but Nini was able to see that he had natural endowments? She was probably sucking up to him…
They rushed to the Pill Refinery District. Lao Wang did not plan to act ostentatiously and allowed Nini to go back to the Spirit Flower Garden.
The so-called Pill Refinery District was in the empty land at the foot of Furnace Mountain. There was a neighborhood of neat and square stone houses that were several meters away from each other. They were all pill refinery houses that could be rented. These stone houses seemed ordinary and normal, but upon closer inspection, one could feel that the material of these stone houses was not normal. There were no runes on their surface. It was clean and smooth, and there was a faint green light. Even though they were situated at the foot of the Furnace Mountain, where the underground fires were vigorous and the temperatures were always high, these dark green stone houses immediately made people feel peaceful and refreshed. One could imagine how it would feel like after walking in.
There were about 20 to 30 stone houses in the entire Pill Refinery District, and there were people queuing in front of almost every house. There were too many people.
Many veteran pupils from previous batches would choose a site here. After all, not everyone could rent the pill furnaces in the Furnace Mountain. Compared to those furnaces, these stone houses in the Pill Refinery District were considered cheap but good. Of course, there were more new pupils from the Pill Refinery Hall. Even as new pupils, they had already begun to practice, but unlike Lao Wang, they started from level-7 pill missions.
Furthermore, there were also many people from the Combat Cultivation Hall and the Weapon Refinery Hall, both older pupils and new pupils. However, most of these people did not come here to refine pills. A large majority of them followed pupils from the Pill Refinery Hall, while some of them came here to feel the atmosphere of pill refining. Of course, many also came here to do business and earn money.
For example, they helped people to run errands or to queue up for them… One would rent these stone pill houses for at least a few hours, or even one or two days. It was not realistic to ask the prodigies from the Pill Refinery Hall to foolishly queue for such a long time outside. Naturally, this would develop the queuing business. One casual payment from the prodigies of high-leveled civilizations was enough for those below them to live well. Some were not here simply to earn money, they also wanted to get to know the pupils of the Pill Refinery Hall who were destined to become great figures in the future and try to be friendly with them. The methods to do so were extremely complex…
When Lao Wang arrived, the Pill Refinery District was already overcrowded with people. There were signs on the doors of all 24 stone pill houses. The 15 houses in the middle had signs with the words “Second Class” and had the greatest number of people queuing outside. There were 10 to 20 people there. The five houses on the left had relatively fewer people queuing outside. There were only three to five people. These houses had the signs “First Class” hung on their doors.
Lao Wang had already heard about this matter. The signs indicated the hardware allocated within the pill house. The “first class” houses were equipped with the highest grade of pill furnaces for ordinary alchemists. Even the rollers for grinding medicine, fire crystals, and other equipment used to cut ingredients and prepare for pill refinery were the best. They were even enough to refine level-5 or level-4 pills. Of course, the rental fee was relatively high. Lao Wang only knew that renting it for one day would cost at least four digits. Furthermore, one did not count in Silver Star Stones, but in Gold Star Stones… Other than a few veteran pupils refining high-quality pills, new pupils definitely could not rent them. Thus, it was no wonder that there were few people.
Furthermore, there were the fewest people on the extreme right. There was almost no one outside the four stone houses. The words “Third Grade” were written on the signs on the doors. It was said that the pill furnace and other equipment inside were of rather low quality. It would be difficult to refine the level-7 pill that Elder Yimo from the Pill Refinery Hall requested, but Lao Wang was only refining a level-9 pill. Thus, it did not matter.
The nearer it was to the right end, the cheaper it would be. Wang Zhong simply walked over. He had only taken a few steps, but people looked at him the entire way.
Recently, Lao Wang was rather famous among the new batch of Heavenly Gates pupils. The prodigies in the Pill Refinery Hall might not know him, but the pupils from the Combat Cultivation Hall and the Weapon Refinery Hall knew him very well. The fame that he had gained from two Combat Cultivation Hall classes made many people jealous and extremely unhappy. A weakling from a low-leveled civilization was actually stronger than them. How could these people accept this?
When they saw that he had appeared here, there were various points of view. In particular, some familiar faces had some mocking expressions that had been balanced out by their mentalities. So what if he was strong? In the end, he was a weakling from a low-leveled civilization. He was like many people who had been forced by their circumstances to come to this kind of place and work.
“Hey, Earthling. Are you helping someone to queue?” Someone deliberately teased him. “No one has hired you, right? Come and help me queue. Others charge me 20 Silver Star Stones per day, so I’ll give you half of that!”
“Oh, look. That little fellow is off to rent a pill house.”
“Ha ha, a lowly level-4 civilization with no one who has accumulated their Core. Yet someone wants to learn pill refinery?”
“Another one who is dreaming to become a breakout genius like with the Shell race.”
“How foolish. Even though the Shell race rose from a low-leveled civilization, it was because they were expert at accumulating their Core. Even this Earthling wants to imitate them?”
“I heard that he has a bit of skill. He is probably arrogant. These kinds of low-leveled civilizations will eventually become thugs in the days to come. It shouldn’t be a problem for them to advance to level-5. But refining pills? Heh heh, they’re thinking too much.”
The chatter around him did not stop. Frankly speaking, they were unhappy that a low-leveled civilization had come to the Heavenly Gates to surpass others.
Lao Wang did not give them any attention at all and directly walked to the third-grade pill refinery house on the extreme right. There was a green light that indicated no one was in the pill house. A goblin with six eyes sat outside the pill house. Just as Wang Zhong was about to open his mouth, the goblin spoke without even raising his head. “A hundred Silver Star Stones for a one-hour rental, 2,000 Silver Star Stones for a day’s rental.”
Lao Wang was slightly dumbfounded. He had heard about the prices here from the Pill Refinery Hall. It should be 1,000 Silver Star Stones for a one-day rental. Why did the price suddenly double?
“Wasn’t it 1,000…?”
Before Lao Wang could finish speaking, the six-eyed goblin looked at him out of the corner of his eye and viciously said, “The price is whatever I say it is. If you have the money, then rent. If not, then go away!”
“Ha ha, Kani is up to something wacky again.”
“How valuable are the items in the pill house? If he rents it to such low-leveled trash who doesn’t even meet pill refinery standards, the probability of the furnace exploding or spoiling is very high. Shouldn’t he collect more money?”
“That’s right. He only doubled the price. I think it’s not much even if he multiplies the price by three or four times.”
The six-eyed goblin seemed to be very satisfied with the support from the crowd around him. He fiercely looked at Wang Zhong. “What are you still standing there for? If you’re not renting, then go away!”
His roar was extremely loud, and the crowd burst into laughter. They were all waiting to see the Earthling leave in a dejected manner. However, they did not expect that not only did the human not leave, but there was also no hint of humiliation on his face. Instead, he smiled. Closely after, Lao Wang raised his hand.
Pa.
The six-eyes goblin had six eyes, but he was dumbfounded as he did not see how Lao Wang had attacked. He only felt a massive power slapping his face. In an instant, he was stunned as his entire body leaned towards the left. His head simply smashed into the ground like a ball of lead, producing a massive knocking sound against the surface of the ground.
Lao Wang did not cause trouble but was not afraid of doing so. The goblin was obviously looking for trouble. Lao Wang was definitely not used to this kind of vile habit. As a service staff at the bottom of society, who gave this goblin the guts to show off!
The six-eyed goblin was stunned. Half of his head had sunken into the ground, while his two legs twitched as if he was spasming. He did not give a response for a long time. Meanwhile, the crowd was silent and evidently could not accept this situation. Countless pairs of eyes turned to look at Lao Wang. They had heard that there was an extremely capable member from a low-leveled civilization who was an Earthling. He had defeated several combat cultivation pupils one after another during Combat Cultivation Hall classes.
Wang Zhong pulled out the six-eyes goblin and smiled as he wiped off the dust from the goblin’s head. “When you look at people, you have to look at them properly. Not everyone can break the rules. Killing you is not a difficult thing for me.”
Lao Wang did not join the Law Enforcement Association just to play games with a group of cold creatures. He understood the rules of the Heavenly Gates extremely well. As long as he stuck to the rules, what was left was the issue of individual strength. It was said that standing in front of the King of Hell was easy, but smaller devils were difficult to deal with. This time, he had been cheated. There would be no peace!
But from an outsider’s perspective, Lao Wang had stirred up a hornet’s nest once again. Why did a person with no civilization or powers as backup have such guts? When low-leveled civilizations joined the divine territory, they should keep their tail between their legs before slowly improving after several dozen or several hundred years. What was this Earthling’s problem?
“This fellow has such big guts!”
“He dared to attack in the Pill Refinery District? He has never died before, right?”
“Nonsense. If he died, would he still be standing here? However, from the look of things, he’s not far from death.”
The observers who had recovered from their shock were dumbstruck. Chattering noises rose from the surroundings. Meanwhile, six or seven people immediately leaped out from the crowd.
They were all from the goblin race. They did not show up because they were from the same race. It was so they could be in the limelight!
They were all Void Cores. When they stood together, just the aura that they formed was enough to frighten an ordinary expert. “Little fellow, you’re asking for death!”
However, Lao Wang was still happy and unafraid… He looked coldly at the six goblins who surrounded him with devilish expressions on their faces as his divine cells were slowly extending. There were many opponents to fight now. The six-eyed goblin also flashed a ferocious smile. This was a huge embarrassment. If he could not regain his place here, how would he be able to live in the future?
As a staff member here, earning profits was perfectly justified. Of course, they did things according to the situation. If this Earthling fought back, what would the others do?
Meanwhile, Lao Wang was full of fighting spirit and was not afraid at all when faced with a one-on-six battle. This was not a problem of whether he would be able to defeat them. Instead, he definitely had to battle. Earthlings did not come to the divine territory to become slaves. Ever since humans were born with intelligence, they did not have this hobby!
A particularly tall fellow among the six of them shouted violently and was prepared to attack. However, he saw a blur, and a yellow shadow flew past him. When he took a closer look, the back of a girl wearing yellow robes had appeared in front of him.
The atmosphere instantly froze, and the observers watching the situation all retreated. It was the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince, Celeste!
“What is happening here? Don’t you know that no trouble is allowed in the Pill Refinery District?” Celeste’s voice was very gentle and light, but the six of them felt awkward. They were not foolish and could figure out what she was doing from her question. Furthermore, they wanted to put on an act and did not want to cause any major trouble. Even if they wanted to bury Wang Zhong, they did not want to accompany him in the grave. Damn!
Wang Zhong smiled. “It’s fine. It was only a small misunderstanding. These brothers probably wanted to learn from me. In the future, there will be a chance to do so.”
“Yes, yes. We heard that he is very good at fighting. Next time, next time, let’s meet again.” The goblins hurriedly followed along. When they saw that Celeste had no intention of interrogating them, they quickly left.
Celeste looked at Wang Zhong. “We have some affinity. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to let me know.”
Please feel free to let me know… What an obvious meaning. The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. What origins did this brat from Earth have? What gave him the right to allow the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince to see him in a different light?
The goblin race was considered a large race that was permanently stationed at the Heavenly Gates. They were powerful and had a large population. The types of species in their race was also complicated. However, all this was when they were compared to civilizations of equal level. If they were compared to a superpower like the Heavenly Shell race, the goblin race only had the right to stand by the side. Furthermore, they were facing Celeste, a super prodigy from the Heavenly Shell race that had definitely been nurtured with great attention. The six-eyed goblin’s intestines started to turn green.
“Thank you. If there’s anything, I won’t hold back.” Wang Zhong smiled. He received these good intentions but did not dare to fully accept them.
Celeste smiled and nodded her head. She did not pursue and attack fiercely, and maintained a demeanor that aristocrats should have. She obviously would not use the pill furnaces in this district.
Everyone else left, but the six-eyed goblin had no way to leave as he still had to guard the pill house. This was his job.
However, before he had the chance to sigh, Lao Wang’s voice sounded in front of him. His voice was relatively calm, as if nothing had happened at all. “Can I rent a pill house at the normal price now?”
