BXBX NOVEL Chapter 405 - 167: A storm is about to break out on the windy building! (7082 words)
In the secret underground chamber within the City Lord’s Mansion.
Bai Tianyu sat with his eyes closed, gathering his power.
Around him, floated several black orbs.
Those were the Crying Demon clones with consciousness wiped clean and evil thoughts removed.
Yun Canghai and Zhang Hai stared unblinkingly at the operations conducted by Chen Fan.
Water in the two large cauldrons had reached boiling point.
However, there were still many materials that had not been added yet.
Chen Fan held a pile of Crystal Cores while laying out the array on the other side.
Among these Crystal Cores, only six were of level 27, while the rest were mostly below level 26.
Having no choice but to save money, Chen Fan had to opt for this relatively complicated solution.
Whether it was cultivating a level 27 King Kong Beetle or a level 27 Nine Heavens Mysterious Turtle, the System provided multiple enhancement solutions.
One of these simple solutions involved using multiple level 28 Monster Crystal Nuclei.
However, the price difference between Crystal Cores even just one level apart was immense.
Chen Fan was broke…
Yes, Chen Fan, who just an hour ago was donating money to Huanhai Academy and Celestial Academy, was truly broke… at least, his account was nearly empty.
The money Chen Fan acquired from the Crying Demon was mainly used to customize the Heaven-severing Demon Sword, Sealing Heaven Armor, and shield.
After buying all the equipment, Chen Fan didn’t have much money left.
The fire demon stones he had mined earlier were being sold on his behalf by the War God Academy, and he hadn’t received any payment yet.
When gathering these materials, it was before the trip to Seven Star Mountain. Chen Fan had used the credit of the account Zhang Hai gave him to get these materials on credit at the Beast Cultivator Association.
The materials being used in the cauldrons did not cost much.
However, buying a pile of level 27 or 26 Monster Crystal Cores was beyond Chen Fan’s means before the trip to Seven Star Mountain.
Even so, Chen Fan did not ask Bai Tianyu for money.
For the sake of learning the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade from Bai Tianyu at the cost of his soul power, Chen Fan was not willing to ask for help from Bai Tianyu.
Now, it was even less likely that he would ask for help…
Because, now he was no longer short of money.
The two batches of fire demon stone mines have now become relatively insignificant.
That’s because Chen Fan enjoyed a great harvest from looting the corpses.
Six level 40 Demon corpses and Demon Crystal Cores, along with six Divine Weapons…
It would be an exaggeration to say that their combined worth was enough to rival a country.
But it was not an overstatement to say that their total worth was a fortune beyond compare.
Chen Fan held one Crystal Core after another, following the detailed instructions from the System. He placed the Crystal Cores on the ground and gently pressed…
“Crack!”
With the surge of powerful Star Power, the Crystal Cores were embedded directly into the ground, as if it was made of paper.
As each Crystal Core was embedded into the ground, Spirit Lines extended outward from them, connecting them to form a mysterious and strange pattern.
The initial formation of the two Gathering Star Arrays set up for cultivating the King Kong Beetle and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Turtle was completed.
Chen Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and checked the time.
Water in the two large cauldrons was almost gone.
Chen Fan picked up the buckets, refilled the cauldrons with water, and then added some materials to both cauldrons.
After finishing all this, he returned to continue with the array.
The most troublesome part in cultivating these two Guardian Beasts was setting up the two Gathering Star Arrays.
Because he had very little previous experience with arrays.
Whether it was cultivating level 5 or 6 Guardian Beasts or cultivating Golden Gyrfalcon-level 16 Guardian Beasts, Chen Fan had never used Gathering Star Arrays before.
Even Crystal Cores were seldom used.
When they just signed the contract with Snowy, Chen Fan chose the simplest method, using Blue Scaled Demonic Fish Crystal Cores of even higher level than Snowy.
Using level 2 or even 3 Crystal Cores to cultivate a level 1 Guardian Beast was much simpler and easier.
But this time, the process for cultivating the two level 27 Guardian Beasts was much more complicated since none of the Crystal Cores were higher than level 27.
Especially the two Gathering Star Arrays.
If there is even a slight deviation in the placement of a Crystal Core, the effect of the Gathering Star Array could be drastically different, causing it to fail in an instant.
So, Chen Fan was very cautious when setting up the array.
He repeatedly confirmed the distance and position between each Crystal Core.
With his current constitution, he might not break much of a sweat from swinging his Heaven-severing Demon Sword a few hundred times.
However, setting up these two Gathering Star Arrays had caused him to wipe away sweat several times already.
The water in the cauldrons began to boil again.
The materials in one of the cauldrons had turned into a dark golden paste.
In the other cauldron, the materials seemed to have disappeared completely, leaving only a mysterious ink green liquid bubbling continuously.
Zhang Hai watched all this, staring at each material. He had many questions but seeing Chen Fan’s sweating figure, he swallowed all his doubts.
Yun Canghai glanced at the two Gathering Star Arrays and Bai Tianyu, who was in a state of selflessness on the other side. Anticipation welled up in his heart.
He had heard vague rumors from Bai Tianyu that Chen Fan possessed astonishing talent in beast-raising.
Master Zhang Hai never stopped singing praises about his disciple.
But wasn’t it a bit exaggerated to let such a young man cultivate king-tier Guardian Beasts?
Although Bai Tianyu’s attempt to break through the Seventh Realm wouldn’t result in any losses even if he fails…
But still…
Yun Canghai looked at Chen Fan, deep in thought.
Thirty minutes later…
All the materials had been added to the two cauldrons, and they turned into a thick soup.
Chen Fan moved the cauldrons to the side.
The cauldrons slowly cooled down, the contents inside solidifying as if frozen.
