Chapter 1184: Chapter 1182: The Final Component

"What do you have here?"

As the previous stall owner was packing up the boxes, Gu Xi also walked over to the newly discovered stall, squatted down, and asked.

"What is this?"

Gu Xi pointed to a stone slab on the stall and asked.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner behind the lights started boasting.

"Sir, have you ever heard of the Celestial Gifted Divine Hips? This is a good item, just place it in the city, and it will increase the weekly production of middle-tier species by +4.

It’s absolutely a divine artifact among divine artifacts. Seeing that you can recognize its value, I’ll sell it to you for three thousand gold coins."

"Come on, stop boasting, even your gray light can’t hide it. This is merely a gray quality material. I’ll be straightforward with you; I’m interested in this because it’s big enough, just perfect to take home to make a millstone.

At most, one gold coin - if you want more, you can keep it for yourself."

Gu Xi directly interrupted the stall owner’s words.

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s words, the stall owner immediately protested.

"How can that be? This is truly a divine artifact among divine artifacts."

"Seriously, stop boasting. I’ve checked out the Celestial Gifted Divine Equipment set, and it looks nothing like the one you have.

So stop boasting. I’m offering you one gold coin purely because it’s such a large chunk of stone.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t even give it a second glance."

The stall owner was aware of what kind of things were on his stall, knowing this was just a roadside found stone, selling it means profit.

One gold coin it is."

"Deal."

Seeing the stall owner’s worry that Gu Xi might back out, Gu Xi couldn’t help but smile. He reached out to pick up the stone, holding it in his hand.

Meanwhile, a flick of his left hand dropped a gold coin onto the stall.

After completing everything, Gu Xi carried this big chunk of stone, heading towards the auction house.

At this moment, Kro had already finished settling accounts with the auctioneer and was delighted to see Gu Xi approaching: "Brother Gu, what did you buy?

The stone you have isn’t a good item, just a piece you picked up by the roadside—did you get fooled?

If you want, I can go with you to buy some things, otherwise, you might suffer a big loss."

"No need, I buy items based on what I find pleasing. I don’t really care about whether they’re good or not.

After all, no matter how many things there are here, they can’t compare to the various items I obtain through different channels.

By the way, how long will you be staying in the black market?"

"At least four hours. I just heard there’s a small auction in three hours with a good item I have my eyes on, I want to buy it."

"Okay, I need to deliver some items to my city. Give me five hours, and then after I’ve sent the items back, I’ll come find you."

Gu Xi calculated the time upon hearing and said to Kro.

Although Kro didn’t quite understand why Gu Xi had to handle his own matters and inform him, he still nodded.

From his perspective, Gu Xi sending him to Beite Alliance was completing his task.

Where Gu Xi needed to go was none of his business?

Kro didn’t know that although Gu Xi’s main mission was complete, subsequent missions intertwined one after another. His part was done, but Gu Xi would continue with other tasks.

Determining Kro’s departure time, Gu Xi nodded to him, and then the phantom image of the Main City Gate appeared behind him.

With a swift movement, Gu Xi returned to Yalidu City.

As soon as he entered Yalidu City, Gu Xi immediately commanded, "Prepare the battlefield, and bring out all the previous items."

While saying this, Gu Xi placed the stone he was carrying onto the ground.

He pointed the Illusion Magic Wand at the stone and cast a spell upon it.

Flame Domain!

Flames quickly engulfed the stone, turning it red in an instant.

Then Gu Xi pointed again.

Deep Freeze!

Instantly, ice froze over the stone.

Soon came a cracking sound as the stone exploded on the spot.

Revealing a section of a statue’s lower waist.

[Your temporary mission: The sealed Power has changed, and you’ve found a waist component suitable for the mission requirement.]

[Mission requirements: Find seven sealed components (7/7), assemble and defeat the assembled body (0/1)]

Looking at the prompted message, Gu Xi smiled.

The task [Sealed Power] finally gathered all the components.

While Gu Xi was smiling, his subordinates delivered all the previously obtained various materials.

Included were a pure black mechanical left arm, a jade carved human head with fox eyes, a soft bouncing left leg jade foot, a diamond torso with purple quality, a right hand component that can transform into various weapons, and a blue crystallized right leg skeleton.

Now with this section of the lower waist, all seven components were seemingly complete.

Although these component qualities varied, they were more than enough for Gu Xi.

Quality-wise, not to mention other aspects, just the diamond torso alone had a purple quality.

Plus, the jade carved human head and left leg jade foot, both obtained from the Life-taking Stone.

Their quality wouldn’t be weaker than purple.

The right hand, undergoing reinforcement once, even if initially low quality, had now been enhanced.

With four purple-quality components present, the next assembled body shouldn’t be lacking in quality.

Gu Xi was quite confident as he efficiently assembled all the materials in hand.

Though the components varied in size and quality, with some lacking assembly interfaces, Gu Xi disregarded those concerns.

Not knowing much about engineering, his assembly process consisted of placing items in designated spots.

He knew left from right hands, and wouldn’t place a head on the waist.

Only seven components overall, Gu Xi couldn’t mix them up.

Very quickly, Gu Xi assembled everything together. ℯ

After placing the final jade carved human head, Gu Xi suddenly sensed a strong light emanating.

The light contained blue, purple, and strands of orange rays.

Gu Xi strained to view the situation within the light.

But all he could observe was the clash among the assembled items.

The newly acquired waist section and crystal bone right leg lacked combat power, quickly getting shattered by other components.

The remaining components kept tugging at each other, colliding, eventually forming two opposing factions.
