199: Unlock one seal

"In addition, two Yin-Yang attribute monster cores no lower than the monarch-level. Along with [Star Sand], [Glazed Blood], [Millennium Lightning-Struck Wood], and [Taiyin Profound Ice Stone]..."

Bai Tian and Jiang Yuebai had never even heard of these spirit-grade materials mentioned by the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape.

"As for the monarch-level demon flood dragon and monarch-level monsters, Old Black and I roughly know where to find them."

"But as for the subsequent eleven spirit materials, you'll have to figure out how to find them yourselves."

Hearing the words of the two immortal pets, Jiang Yuebai said urgently, "Alright! We'll find a way regarding the materials."

Bai Tian also nodded.

But then, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion asked, "What about the calamity breaking stone?"

This fellow looked worried that Bai Tian wouldn't keep his word.

Bai Tian responded, "If we can't find a Grandmaster Alchemist, both calamity breaking stones will be given to you."

To show his sincerity, Bai Tian first took out one and tossed it to the Vajra Demon Ape, because it was straightforward, unlike the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion, who was full of schemes.

Seeing Bai Tian give a calamity breaking stone to the Vajra Demon Ape but not to him, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion snorted unhappily.

"Don't worry! I won't keep it all for myself."

The Vajra Demon Ape patted the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion's shoulder and accepted the calamity breaking stone.

"Bai Tian, let's split up for now. I'll use my connections to look for these Grade 5 spirit materials; I'll find as many as I can."

"You go find our teacher. I have a feeling he might be a Grandmaster or even beyond a Grandmaster Alchemist."

"And besides, he might have a special way for us to go to the other world to save Yan Xue and Liao Fan."

Bai Tian nodded and immediately used a City Return Talisman to return to his village.

Immediately, he went to the Spirit Worship Hall at top speed and once again offered the highest-grade sacrificial offerings to his teacher.

After receiving some feedback, Bai Tian cupped his hands in a plea for help towards the Flower Monk's statue.

"Teacher, your disciple has recently encountered a difficult matter and hopes for your assistance."

Since turning into a statue, the Flower Monk had almost never manifested his physical body or communicated with Bai Tian.

Even though Bai Tian was sincerely asking for help, the Flower Monk's statue didn't react. Instead, the crow on his shoulder, which had also turned into a sculpture, suddenly came to life, landed on the incense stand, and scratched out a single word with its claws: 'Speak.'

Bai Tian was delighted. Although his teacher didn't appear, this was another way of communicating with him.

Bai Tian immediately recounted the situation of his friends Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue to see if his teacher had a way to rescue them.

As a result, the crow used its claws to gesture a line of words on the incense stand: 'Wait eighty-nine days.'

Wait eighty-nine days!

Bai Tian couldn't wait that long, so he could only ask again, "Teacher, your disciple needs a Grade 5 [vajra barrier breaking pill]. Can you refine it?"

After saying this, Bai Tian vaguely sensed a hint of mockery from the crow, which then gestured again on the incense stand.

"For any elixir below Grade 7, if you provide the ingredients, I can make an exception and refine medicine for you once."

—Hiss!

Bai Tian gasped in shock.

It seemed he had underestimated his teacher's abilities; his teacher could refine anything except for immortal-grade pills.

Bai Tian immediately cupped his hands in joy and said, "Thank you, Teacher! I'll come back to trouble you once I've gathered the ingredients."

With that, Bai Tian turned and left.

Outside the Spirit Worship Hall, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape paced back and forth, looking inside with solemn expressions, not daring to step in.

It was as if there was an existence inside that made even them feel terrified.

"There is a supreme figure inside, likely only one step away from becoming a god."

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion said with a surprised expression.

The Vajra Demon Ape also nodded. "With such an existence, if he discovers us and harbors ill intent, we have no way to resist right now."

Only after seeing Bai Tian walk out did the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, the first thing they asked was not about the [vajra barrier breaking pill] they so desperately wanted.

"Who is enshrined in there?"

Bai Tian said casually, "My alchemy teacher."

"I have good news for you. My teacher can refine the [vajra barrier breaking pill] you need, but you must provide the ingredients yourselves."

Hearing this, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape exchanged glances, their eyes filled with infinite joy.

But at the same time, a deep sense of shock welled up within them; they never expected Bai Tian's teacher to be a supreme figure on the verge of godhood.

They didn't doubt for a second that such an existence could help them refine the vajra barrier breaking pill.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, we'll take you to find the ingredients right now."

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape said impatiently.

Bai Tian shook his head. "Wait a moment! I need to rest. I'll go with you to find the ingredients later."

"By the way, while helping you find the ingredients, don't forget the spirit materials needed for the teleportation array."

Bai Tian hadn't rested at all; his body truly needed to log off and recuperate.

After logging off, Bai Tian saw that Jiang Yuebai in the next room was still online.

Bai Tian took out his phone and ordered two portions of takeout.

Then, he took a quick shower and had a full meal once the takeout arrived, but drowsiness had already overcome him.

He called out toward Jiang Yuebai's room, "Moon White, log off, eat something, and get some rest."

"Once we've rested, we'll log back on immediately to gather the materials for the teleportation array."

Hearing Bai Tian's voice, Jiang Yuebai replied through her helmet, "You rest first! I've already found five materials and am currently trading with the sellers. I'll log off and eat once I'm done."

It had to be said that Moon White was very efficient, having obtained five rare spirit materials so quickly.

After sleeping for five hours, Bai Tian woke up feeling refreshed.

Perhaps the two of them were very much in sync, as Jiang Yuebai had also woken up early.

It was currently 1:30 AM, and it was pitch black outside.

Bai Tian and Jiang Yuebai had a quick bite to eat and then immediately logged on.

The first thing they did upon logging on was, naturally, to check the status of Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue.

It hadn't been 48 hours yet, so they couldn't be contacted for the time being.

But seeing that the two were online, Bai Tian and Jiang Yuebai still felt a sense of relief.

Bai Tian took out ten high-grade spirit crystals and traded them to Jiang Yuebai.

These were system rewards for completing the dungeon; using them in reality could increase some attributes and strengthen oneself.

But using them in the game was similar to experience pills, which could quickly help Jiang Yuebai level up.

At this time, Jiang Yuebai was already in the process of hatching the Sun Moon Twin Wolf. With these ten high-grade spirit crystals, she could speed up the progress.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Yuebai was no longer as resistant to the things Bai Tian gave her as before, and she gave him a sweet smile.

Bai Tian then took out another calamity breaking stone and used it on the [azure haze] fashion outfit he was wearing.

—"(Ding-dong)!"

"(You have successfully used a [calamity breaking stone]! Your [azure haze] fashion outfit's first seal has been lifted, and 40% of its hidden attributes have been released.)"

"(To lift the final seal, 10 [calamity breaking stones] are required!)"
