Chapter 437: Chapter 251: Rule Authority: Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown

It was all just a virtual creation, without any tangible value.

But Zhong Yi understood social niceties, so he didn’t hesitate to praise Liu Shu’s creativity.

The interior of the Chasing Light Dragon Palace was incredibly lavish. All the tiles used in the territory’s construction were glazed, shimmering with halos of green, white, and pale blue.

’Just how much Divine Origin Value would it take to decorate a territory like this on the Virtual Source Network?’ Zhong Yi wondered.

’It probably wouldn’t cost any less than building a faction in the sky.’

"Ah Yi, there aren’t many members in the faction yet."

"Ah Mu and I have only done a simple layout for the territory, but we put some real thought into the Treasure Vault."

"Inside the Treasure Vault, you can see every displayed item in realistic detail, which makes it easy for you to observe and choose."

Zhong Yi followed Liu Shu to the Treasure Vault. Inside were rows upon rows of display racks and numerous enclosures.

The display racks held all sorts of rare materials, while the enclosures housed various exotic Creatures.

Once the information for an item or Guardian Beast is entered, a highly realistic simulation of it is generated inside the Treasure Vault.

The Soul-Controlling Flower had now fallen dormant.

While the Soul-Controlling Flower was dormant, it no longer produced Flowing Soul Soil or Soul Taming Seeds.

However, Zhong Yi could still use the All Things Exploration Ability through the Soul-Controlling Flower.

Zhong Yi used All Things Exploration and, with a single glance, spotted a tall, bluish-black plant with no thorns on its stem.

The plant was called Dragon Horn Vine. When used on a Dragon Species Guardian Beast, it could help accelerate the growth of its horns and slightly correct their shape.

Besides the Dragon Horn Vine, Zhong Yi also saw a bottle of water from a Bone-Transforming Soup Spring.

The water from a Bone-Transforming Soup Spring could dissolve the bones of any Creature, perfectly releasing the medicinal properties held within.

It also ensured that these medicinal properties would face no resistance when fusing with other materials.

In addition to the Dragon Horn Vine and the Bone-Transforming Soup Spring water, Zhong Yi also discovered a complete Celestial Fragrance Fox Tail.

The complete tailbone of a Sixth Level Celestial Fragrance Jade Fox could help a Tail Fox Species Guardian Beast with a Jade Fox Bloodline temper its Bloodline and enhance the strength of its tail.

Everything he could see was an extremely precious resource. Items like Dragon Horn Bone, Dragon Horn Vine, and the water from the Bone-Transforming Soup Spring could all be considered materials of the Sixth Level Potion Main Material Level.

For a Dragon Species Guardian Beast that used its horns as its primary weapon, the Dragon Horn Vine was an absolute godsend.

Zhong Yi had once heard Tao En say that animal-based materials were the most difficult to fuse with other ingredients when concocting Potions.

This was especially true for the marrow within animal bones.

Not only could the water from the Bone-Transforming Soup Spring activate the medicinal properties within bones, but it could also promote their fusion with other materials.

With a material like this, it would be much easier for a Creator to concoct High Level Potions.

And as for the Celestial Fragrance Fox Bone, which came from a Sixth Level Celestial Fragrance Jade Fox—especially since it was a complete set of bones...

’It would be a tremendous help to Ice Glaze’s growth!’

Including the Divine Origin Value that Qiao Shuyu and Liu Shu had just transferred to him, Zhong Yi now had nearly 40,000 points.

’Divine Origin Value is meant to be spent, after all.’

And all the materials displayed in the Pursuing Light Dragon Palace Treasure Vault could be exchanged for with Divine Origin Value.

Zhong Yi asked Liu Shu,

"Brother Shu, I was wondering, for the materials you have displayed, is there a price list?"

"I earned some Divine Origin Value exploring a Second Level Secret Realm, and I’d like to buy some materials and Guardian Beasts."

Hearing this, Liu Shu walked over to a jade table—one of which was placed beside each display rack—and picked up a thick book.

"Ah Yi, all the prices are listed in this book."

"Whatever you want to buy, just find the price in the book on the jade table next to its display rack."

"The prices in the book are set for regular members of the Chasing Light Dragon Palace."

"You get a twenty percent discount on anything you want to exchange for."

"Even at full price, the resources here are guaranteed to be cheaper than what you’d find outside."

"Besides, most of the resources displayed here aren’t sold anywhere else."

Liu Shu didn’t simply offer to give Zhong Yi whatever he wanted for free.

Liu Shu could see that Zhong Yi wasn’t a greedy person.

If Zhong Yi had been greedy, he certainly would have tried to renegotiate terms after obtaining the Monopolizer Badge.

But Zhong Yi hadn’t done that. Moreover, Zhong Yi had a strong ability to earn Divine Origin Value.

Offering to just give Zhong Yi resources would, by contrast, seem rather petty.

Zhong Yi’s strength had just advanced to the Second Level, and he was in a phase of rapid improvement.

By allowing Zhong Yi to purchase resources from the Chasing Light Dragon Palace at a twenty percent discount, Liu Shu was showing immense sincerity and goodwill.

"In that case, thank you, Brother Shu!"

’It’s not just me raising many Guardian Beasts; I also have many companions.’

’I need to get resources not just for myself, but for them as well.’

With that, Zhong Yi began to flip through the book Liu Shu had handed him.

He saw that a complete set of nine Celestial Fragrance Jade Fox Tailbones, still connected to the coccyx, was priced at 3,400 Divine Origin Value.

After the twenty percent discount, the price was 2,720 Divine Origin Value.

Liu Shu had already granted Zhong Yi the twenty-percent-discount privilege.

Zhong Yi discovered that every page of the illustrated catalog on the table was a manual touchscreen.

Zhong Yi turned to the page for the Celestial Fragrance Fox Bone and pressed the confirm transaction button.

His Divine Origin Value was deducted instantly.

Liu Shu handed Zhong Yi an Energy Transmission Platform.

This Energy Transmission Platform was different from the ones Zhong Yi had seen before.

This one was engraved with the symbol of the Chasing Light Dragon Palace.

"Ah Yi, this is a custom Energy Transmission Platform our Chasing Light Dragon Palace specially ordered from the Wanyu Boundary Exploration Company."

"Whenever you exchange for resources in the Treasure Vault, you can activate this Energy Transmission Platform in the real world to retrieve them."

"This special Energy Transmission Platform doesn’t disappear after use. You can use it indefinitely, and it doesn’t consume any Divine Origin Value."

"When I gave you the twenty percent discount, I also gave you free access to the Treasure Vault."

"From now on, you can come and exchange for resources at any time, even if Long Mu and I aren’t around."

"Long Mu and I will restock the resources in the Treasure Vault about once a month."

"Even if there’s nothing you want to get right now, you should still check back every month or so."

Zhong Yi took the Energy Transmission Platform from Liu Shu and said with a smile,

"I just flipped through a few pages in this catalog, and practically everything is a treasure."

"Looks like I’ll have to explore more of the Secret Realms opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company to earn more Divine Origin Value."

Zhong Yi wasn’t in a hurry to browse for materials. Instead, he first followed Liu Shu to see the twenty major treasures in stock.

After some investigation, Zhong Yi found four major treasures that he was extremely interested in.

One of them was a Soul Element treasure perfectly suited for Undead Creatures.

This treasure looked like a plain, unadorned black fruit, somewhat resembling an avocado Zhong Yi had eaten in his past life.

From this fruit, Zhong Yi could feel a sense of confinement and control.

The pure aura of death contained within the fruit, combined with this feeling of control and confinement, conjured a scene in Zhong Yi’s mind.

It was like a general crawling out of hell, sounding a horn to summon his underlings for vengeance.

Because Zhong Yi possessed All Things Exploration, he could see past the exterior and perceive its true essence.

The fruit was called the Crownless Fruit, and the Rule Authority it contained was called Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown!

[Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown]: By using this Rule Authority, bind a designated Undead Creature, placing it into a state of eternal life. If this Undead Creature is defeated, its soul can be reformed and it will be resurrected, even if its soul was completely annihilated.

In Zhong Yi’s eyes, this Rule Authority was a perfect match for Zhong Ling’s Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly.

Once the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly obtained the Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown Rule Authority, it would be able to summon the non-butterfly Undead Creature it had bound right at the start of a battle.

For one, it would enrich Zhong Ling’s combat style.

For another, it would give the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly extremely strong combat capabilities right from the start, even without any corpses available.
