Death... and me

Chapter 2916: Little Boy

Rean then discussed with Roan about the other more simple items. Most of them could be found in the Gondel Clan. Even those who weren't there didn't bother Roan. He went through Rean's memories of the terminal and found substitutes that could be used to make the Void Shattering Pill. In the end, the only items they needed to learn how to get were the Dragon Blood and the Salite Roots.

Roan already had a plan for one of them, though. 'Check for information regarding Dragons. It doesn't have to be a pure-blooded one. As long as it has a trace of Dragon Bloodline, I can refine it.'

Rean moved his fingers through the options and finally found a few candidates. 'Well, there are a few races on this planet with Dragon Bloodline. However, none of them can be found nearby. At the moment, we are in the Fortuim Continent, which is mainly occupied by cultivators. As for the nearest race with Dragon Bloodline, it is the Green Scaled Fairies in the Queintin Continent, which is mainly occupied by Demon Beasts' Territories and a few Spirit Races.'

'Okay,' Roan memorized that race. 'The blood has to be at least in the Stage Eight Level, which is the equivalent to a Saint Realm cultivator. Once we get to the Nascent Soul Realm, it shouldn't be a problem to hunt one of them down.'

With the blood problem resolved, Rean then went to the last item. 'Seems like the Salite Root is the main issue. None of the tens of thousands of herbs and materials in the database match the appearance or effects of the Salite Roots. Roan, would you be able to find a substitute?'

Roan immediately shook his head. 'That won't do. The Salite Roots are a core component of the pill. At most, I would need a herb with the exact same effect, and none of those you showed to me match the requirements.'

Roan wasn't worried, though. 'This is only the Database of a small clan in a small country of a mortal world. The Travil Region the Gondel Clan controls isn't anything special within the country either. We might get a better chance if we can get to the databases of the Rusbav Royal Family.'

'Then we will do it once we get the chance,' Rean agreed with Roan. Since the information didn't exist, there was nothing they could do now. 'Alright, should we focus on the Fiery Rabbit Herb then?'

'The one that costs 1000 Rank Four Spirit Stones?' Roan narrowed his eyes. 'Check the missions hall. Is there any mission there we could use to earn Rank Four Spirit Stones?'

Rean swapped the screen for the missions hall one. 'There are a few... but they all require the cultivators to be in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm at least.'

'Is this a forced rule, or can lower-level cultivators try to take those missions?'

Rean checked again. 'Most of them are forced rules. However, there are a few that don't force this rule. For example, material-related missions. Some rare materials can only be found by chance, so the Clan rewards Rank Four Spiritual Stones if you deliver those finds to them.'

Rean checked those materials and couldn't help but think about Kentucky. Some of the materials were rare metals, and with Kentucky's bloodline ability, it would be a lot easier to detect them.

'Oh!' It was then that Rean noticed a specific mission. 'This is perfect for you, Roan.'

-Deep Yin Water: Can only be found in regions with deep yin and in very small quantities. If you happen to find some, bring it back. The clan will reward ten Rank Four Spiritual Stones for every hundred drops.-

'With your Yin, finding this kind of water shouldn't be much of a problem, no?' Rean asked, excited.

Roan pondered a bit and nodded. 'As long as the concentration of Yin inside is big enough, I should be able to detect it within a few kilometers range. Does it say what places have Deep Yin?'

'We are in luck,' Rean answered straight away. 'The Seventh floor onwards of the Gondel Clan's Ancestral Dungeon could possibly have it, according to the information. Another place mentioned here is the Dark Wind Canyon, but this one is in the neighboring country, Glandal.' Roan couldn't ask for more. 'Alright, we will keep that in mind. Since we already have a plan, we can finish this conversation here. Come back as soon as possible. We will stay in our rooms for a few days and then come out as Foundation Establishment Cultivators. That's why we bought these piece of shit pills. Fuck, I could do a better job with my hand tied.' 'Alright,' Rean quickly nodded and closed the terminal. Since he had already finished his conversation with his new 'master,' Rean was allowed to leave Kuslau's residence. The same guide was out there, waiting for him, so Rean followed him out of the central area.

On the way back, Rean remembered a certain person. 'Say, Roan, what if you concoct pills to sell? Wouldn't it be even faster than looking for the Deep Yin Water?'

'I thought about that,' Roan spoke back. 'But that also means revealing my capabilities. Unless there is some black market or something like that, I can't use this method.'

Rean faintly smiled. 'I think I know how to get it done. We can make some of the Spiritual Stones from the Deep Yin Water and more from the pills you sell.'

'If you have a way, then even better,' Roan obviously didn't refuse.

Rean quickly changed direction and returned to the area around the registration office. Back then, he met Suzumaki, who said he could acquire some good things in the Gondel Clan as long as the price was right. Such a person was bound to know more about the black market in the Gondel Clan as long as there was one.

After looking for a while, Rean didn't find the guy, but he acquired his number. Quite a few people seemed to know the cultivator. Rean quickly gave him a call and set up a meeting, which happened to be in an open area and a big crowd, just like when they met the first time. "Oh! Here he comes, the new star of the Arena between the Energy Gathering Realm cultivators!" Suzumaki couldn't help but joke, attracting a lot of attention as Rean approached.

Rean smiled in response. "It was all luck, just luck."

Suzumaki didn't believe those words even for a second. Nonetheless, it wasn't his problem, so

he didn't force the issue. "So, how about we have a little meal over there in the restaurant. Then you can tell me what is in your mind, little boy."
