Chapter 450: Chapter 182: Mortal Realm Guards Jiangbei, Jade-Green Rain Descends, Celestial Dao Blessing

After quickly checking the records, Wang Kui reported, "They all came in during the last few days of the rainy season. We killed several Ghost Kings then, and on top of that, the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line sent over all the Exotic Treasures from the Ghost Kings and Great Ghosts they defeated."

"Excellent."

Chen Fan chuckled. ’So all the good stuff was concentrated in the last few days.’ This huge haul had clearly come from the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line.

He suddenly realized that a high-intensity Ghost Tide wasn’t without its benefits.

The Mortal Realm currently had only one Blue Level building: the Rebirth Tower. Its effect was the ability to permanently kill enemies, and its Building Blueprint had come from a Blue Level Fortune Bag.

The Jiangbei Defense Line had killed countless Ghost Objects over the entire rainy season, yet not a single Blue Level Building Blueprint had dropped.

For example...

-

[Exotic Treasure Name]: Faction Banner.

[Exotic Treasure Level]: Yellow.

[Exotic Treasure Effect]: Can be integrated into the ’Life Workshop’. Once integrated, the Life Workshop can produce Yellow Level Faction Banners. These banners have a greater visible range and possess the ability to boost morale and slowly heal injuries within a certain area.

-

’This Exotic Treasure is pretty good.’

The Life Workshop could originally only craft Ordinary Banners, something every faction could do. But with this Exotic Treasure, the Mortal Realm could now craft Yellow Level banners, which were not only more striking and unique but also possessed useful effects.

It was worth noting that...

...the Mortal Realm’s Banner had been redesigned during this rainy season.

The original Ghost Eye design was removed, leaving only the character for ’Mortal.’ It looked simple yet grand, strikingly elegant.

Beyond that,

...he also saw some decent Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

For example, seven or eight Sea Embryos had dropped.

This boosted the Mortal Realm’s stockpile of Sea Embryos. Now he could upgrade the Vehicle Workshop to Level 8 and see if any new Vehicles became available.

He’d always been hesitant to use them for upgrades before.

After all, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like the Sea Embryo were rather Rare. They hadn’t obtained many from that one island, and once used, they’d be gone.

There were also some scattered White Level Building Blueprints.

"Hmm..."

Chen Fan scanned the Building Blueprints, each as thin as a cicada’s wing. Most were for buildings the Mortal Realm already possessed; the few they lacked were all low-level Blueprints.

’Cable, Campfire...’

"Gather these Blueprints and put them in a separate place. Wait for me to get back."

He sorted out the few Building Blueprints the Mortal Realm was missing and handed them to Wang Kui. Even when upgraded to Max Level, these White Level buildings didn’t look like they would be very useful.

But that didn’t matter.

His main goal was to complete the quest.

The Mortal Realm now had eleven Max Level Buildings. By upgrading another nine, he could claim the reward for possessing twenty Max Level Buildings.

However, this also reminded him.

At the Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline, Blue Level Building Blueprints were extremely rare, and they wouldn’t give them to him easily—only duplicates. But there were bound to be plenty of duplicate White Level Blueprints. Asking for a batch of those shouldn’t be a problem.

Combined with the few the Mortal Realm had just acquired, he could complete the quest for twenty Max Level Buildings upon his return.

He quickly scanned the Exotic Treasures in the Jiezimai Room one by one, his gaze finally settling on two stones floating in the air. He grinned.

’Familiar name, familiar feeling, familiar interface.’

-

[Exotic Treasure Name]: Celestial Dao Stone.

[Exotic Treasure Level]: Yellow.

[Exotic Treasure Effect]: When used on any building, it grants the building a ’Celestial Dao Blessing Effect’, which applies to all buildings of the same type within the camp.

[PS: Can only be used on Max Level Buildings.]

-

Celestial Dao Stones.

And not just one, but two of them! Two Celestial Dao Stones!

"Both of these Celestial Dao Stones were dropped by Great Ghosts over at the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line," Wang Kui explained from the side.

"Excellent, excellent."

Grinning, Chen Fan stuffed the two Celestial Dao Stones into his robes and strode out of the Warehouse.

The Mortal Realm now had a considerable stockpile of Ghost Stones.

A full ten billion of them.

He was just waiting to establish a connection with the Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline, and then he would begin preparing for explosive growth. Take the Celestial Pillars, for instance.

The Celestial Pillars were strategic-grade weapons, not conventional armaments for the defense line, and could only be used for emergencies.

But—

—that was only because he didn’t have enough.

’What if there were more?’

’What if he stockpiled thousands, or tens of thousands, of shots?’

’Or even millions of shots? Any strategic weapon can be treated as a conventional weapon, as long as you have a large enough stockpile.’

And just as an anti-aircraft gun is even more effective against people than against planes...

...any strategic weapon used as a conventional one would produce surprisingly good results.

...

Chen Fan was no longer in a hurry to lay the Copper Pipes. He boarded a Flying Ship and landed next to the Port.

Under the clear sky,

...a great patch of storm clouds and rain hung over the hundreds of Celestial Pillars. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and fierce winds howled past.

He planned to use one of the two Celestial Dao Stones on the Celestial Pillars.

He was saving the other for the Blue Level Building Blueprint he intended to bring back from the Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline.

Just as he was about to toss the Celestial Dao Stone in his hand,

...he suddenly hesitated and stopped. Taking out a Sound Transmission Talisman, he told Wang Kui to bring over those few White Level blueprints the Mortal Realm was missing.

’I’ll have these White Level buildings constructed first,’ he thought. ’Perhaps one of them will be a better fit for the Celestial Dao Stone.’

’Their descriptions made them look like Ordinary buildings, but maybe they’d have a miraculous effect after reaching Max Level. Take the Suspended Basket, for example. Who could have imagined that this exceedingly Ordinary building would become one of the Mortal Realm’s key structures?’
