Chapter 58: Are You the Father of Water Souls?
Chapter 58: Are You the Father of Water Souls?
"Master of the Garment Division, what is your concern? Feel free to ask," Tang Yan said calmly.
"I'd like to know where there are more Quintessence Souls. The more, the better," Qi Yuan asked, voicing his most pressing concern.
The number of Quintessence Souls here was too scarce, not even enough to fill the gaps between one's teeth.
Upon hearing this, all three people present doubted their own ears, wondering if they had misheard.
Why would someone ask about the abundance of Quintessence Souls in a particular place?
Shouldn't they be asking about places with fewer souls?
"About two hundred li from here, there's a valley with two hundred Wooden Souls. I'm not sure if that meets your requirements, Master of the Garment Division," Tang Yan cautiously replied.
Qi Yuan, upon hearing this, was slightly disappointed: "Are there no more?"
"More, how much more?" The bun-headed woman couldn't help but interject.
"The more, the merrier. A thousand is not too few, but ten thousand... might be a bit much."
Everyone was a little confused, unsure why Qi Yuan was asking such a question.
When entering the Quintessence Training Ground, shouldn't one seek a quiet place to meditate and gradually comprehend the Quintessence Energy?
"Why are you looking for a place with more Quintessence Souls?" The red-robed man questioned.
Qi Yuan gave him a sidelong glance, thinking the red-robed man was a bit foolish: "Of course, it's to obtain the Quintessence Energy. The more Quintessence Souls there are, the more abundant the Quintessence Energy, making it easier to collect."
The red-robed man was stunned upon hearing this.
Tang Yan observed Qi Yuan and realized that Qi Yuan might have entered the Quintessence Training Ground too recently to have acquired the Quintessence Energy, hence his lack of understanding of the intricacies.
Tang Yan quickly shared the key insights with Qi Yuan: "Master of the Garment Division, obtaining the Quintessence Energy is not a simple task. There are some critical points to pay attention to..."
However, as a final note, Tang Yan added: "About a thousand li to the east, there's an abyss which is the core area of the Quintessence Training Ground. Within it, there are over ten thousand Water Souls."
Tang Yan spoke at length, providing Qi Yuan with the route to the core area. The red-robed man stood by, fighting the urge to laugh.
But he had to hold it in, waiting until the Master of the Garment Division left before letting out his laughter.
Otherwise, if he were caught laughing behind someone's back and then laughing at them to their face, it would be quite embarrassing.
Qi Yuan, upon hearing this, showed a slight reaction.
"Is it difficult to obtain the Quintessence Energy?"
"It's very challenging. Even with exceptional talent like Tang Yan's, it takes a year to comprehend and acquire a strand of Water Essence Energy," the bun-headed woman answered.
Qi Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he turned his gaze to the water soul trapped behind the bun-headed woman: "Do you still want this one?"
The bun-headed girl was momentarily stunned and subconsciously replied, "No."
"That's good. Even though you are... I don't want to compete with you for monsters either."
As he spoke, he swung his sword, immediately slicing the water soul into two pieces.
+100 Experience.
+1 Water Essence Energy (Strand).
At this moment, the red-robed man, who had been holding back his laughter, widened his eyes in shock. He even felt the urge to rub his eyes, just in case it was all an illusion!
What had he just witnessed! The Master of the Garment Division had casually swung his sword, slaying a water soul, and then... he immediately comprehended a strand of Water Essence Energy.
Was it that simple?
Talent?
Impossible!
It must be a coincidence!
The red-robed man thought, and Tang Yan and the bun-headed woman shared the same sentiment.
"The Master of the Garment Division's talent is astonishing. I didn't expect him to comprehend the Water Essence Energy in just a few breaths," Tang Yan praised.
He was now certain that the Master of the Garment Division was a genius with talent surpassing his own, and he was also of the water attribute.
"I'm different from you all," Qi Yuan said, not feeling particularly proud of his talent.
He was a player, and killing monsters was how he gained experience.
These NPCs, on the other hand, had to genuinely comprehend and cultivate.
Qi Yuan's words left the three people present speechless.
Especially the bun-headed woman, who felt that the Master of the Garment Division's words were as stifling as the red-robed man's, and she needed something to block her ears.
At that moment, Qi Yuan turned to the red-robed man: "What about the three water souls behind you? Do you still want them?"
The red-robed man quickly shook his head: "No."
Qi Yuan smiled: "Then I'll gladly take them."
Holding his sword, he approached the three water souls.
The red-robed man was taken aback by the Master of the Garment Division's actions.
What was he doing?
Qi Yuan approached the water souls and swiftly swung his sword three times.
The three water souls, already trapped, died instantly.
Experience and Water Essence Energy were acquired by Qi Yuan.
Tang Yan was stunned.
The bun-headed woman was dumbfounded.
The red-robed man was left completely speechless.
Three strands of Water Essence Energy?
With three swings of his sword, three water souls perished, and the Master of the Garment Division comprehended three strands of Water Essence Energy!
When did comprehending Water Essence Energy become so straightforward?
Could it be as simple as slaying water souls?
They had always prepared extensively, sought suitable water souls, created a peaceful environment, and slowly comprehended, enduring failure after failure, to occasionally succeed in acquiring the Quintessence Energy.
But Qi Yuan, with a single swing of his sword, comprehended the Water Essence Energy. What kind of monster was he!
The red-robed man wondered if there was an issue with the Quintessence Training Ground. He wanted to find a water soul and try slaying it with a sword to see if he could comprehend the Water Essence Energy.
Unfortunately, all the nearby water souls had been slain by Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan killed three water souls and handed the Great Treasure Sword to Xiao Jia. He asked again: "Is it difficult to obtain the Water Essence Energy?"
The three people on the field remained silent.
Tang Yan also felt that the Water Soul Power he had comprehended earlier paled in comparison.
The three of them looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"People are different. Don't be discouraged, young ones. Thank you for the information. I must take my leave!" Qi Yuan said, embracing Xiao Jia and heading towards the core of the Quintessence Training Ground.
In the distance, countless Water Souls awaited him, their numbers beyond count.
On the field, only three people remained, their faces frozen in shock.
"Did I just experience an illusion and think I saw the Master of the Divine Garment Division?" The red-robed man spoke first.
Tang Yan remained silent.
The bun-headed woman spoke up, "I might have seen the same illusion as you."
Tang Yan, usually gentle and refined, couldn't help but curse, "The Master of the Divine Garment Division is truly... 'born' for this!"
After saying this, he sighed, "The Master of the Divine Garment Division is definitely a born Water type, the son of a Water Soul, no, the father of a Water Soul, the ancestor of a Water Soul!"
The red-robed man couldn't understand.
Even if he was a born Water type, how could he produce a Water Essence Energy with just a sword?
Could there be a problem with the Quintessence Training Ground?
Just then, a Water Soul appeared not far from the trio, rushing towards the red-robed man.
Indeed, it was the red-robed man who seemed to attract more enmity!
The sharp-eyed red-robed man noticed first and exclaimed excitedly, "Here I go!"
He sprinted towards it, fearing that someone else might take it.
However, when he killed the Water Soul, he didn't obtain anything.
He was dumbfounded.
He recalled the words of the Master of the Divine Garment Division before his departure.
People are different from one another.
But... no matter how different, could they be this different?
At that moment, Tang Yan spoke up, "I have a suggestion. How about we head towards... the Core Area?"
Upon hearing this, the red-robed man and the bun-headed woman nodded eagerly.
"Good!"
After all, people are different from one another.
They didn't know when they would next have the chance to comprehend Water Essence Energy, and going to the Core Area wouldn't cause much delay.
Seeing someone kill a Water Soul with a single sword and comprehend Water Essence Energy, missing this opportunity might mean never witnessing it again in their lifetime!
All three of them were Water attribute cultivators, and they couldn't afford to miss such a historic event.
A thousand li wasn't considered a long distance for Qi Yuan.
However, it would still take some time to travel.
Especially since he saw numerous other Water Souls along the way, and they weren't few in number.
Every bit counts.
He collected them all.
Tang Yan and the other two chased after him, but their speed couldn't match Qi Yuan's.
Even when Qi Yuan walked and killed, they couldn't catch up.
However, during the chase, they passed on the information they gathered to those outside.
After all, the Master of the Divine Garment Division's talent was too astonishing. If he perfected the Water attribute and combined it with the Bridal Robe Empress, he might be able to unleash the power of a Divine Realm peak expert!
It was a pity that he was too young!
If given more time, he would undoubtedly be more fearsome than a Heavenly Deity.
Qi Yuan didn't know that three people were following him.
He didn't fly directly to the Core Area.
At this moment, he was close to reaching the ninety-third level.
He planned to break through to the ninety-third level before heading to the Core Area.
Otherwise, even the toughest spear would be reduced to a needle by the onslaught of tens of thousands of Water Souls.
It was more appropriate to enhance his combat power before venturing into the Core Area.
Because of this, when Tang Yan and the other two arrived at the Core Area, they didn't find Qi Yuan there.
The red-robed man looked at the Core Area from a distance, sensing the terrifying aura within, "Could the Master of the Divine Garment Division be deceiving us? Using a diversion, he might not have come at all!"
The bun-headed woman glared at the red-robed man and moved away from him, "You should talk less. Don't you know that you attract the most attention from Water Souls?"
Tang Yan nodded in agreement.
The red-robed man was truly asking for trouble, both with his words and his actions. Whenever he appeared, he often attracted the siege of Water Souls.
If it were any other place, it might be fine, but this was the Core Area, where even Divine Realm-level Water Souls could be found.
"You're worrying too much. Those were just coincidences," the red-robed man said, but before he finished speaking...
A deafening roar echoed from within the Core Area.
Tang Yan and the bun-headed woman glanced at the red-robed man.
They immediately took off running.
At that moment, within the Core Area, tens of thousands of Water Souls surged out, densely packed like a stampede of horses.
The red-robed man cried out, "Wait for me! This has nothing to do with me!"
"Stop talking... Ah, don't come towards me!"
"Don't come to my side!" Tang Yan also felt repulsed.
The three of them fled frantically, with tens of thousands of Water Souls in pursuit.
About an hour later, Qi Yuan arrived at the Core Area quietly, leading Xiao Jia.
He looked at the empty Core Area, his expression filled with confusion, "Could I have come to the wrong place?"
However, as he scanned the distant mountains, doubt clouded his eyes.
He could still sense the lingering aura of the Water Souls' presence.
"The ground is still warm, and they haven't been gone for long. Could they have gone to a party without inviting me?"
Qi Yuan clenched his teeth, "Having a party without me is too much!"
He still entered the Core Area.
For some reason, after arriving, he felt his body growing hot.
The Quintessence Energy within him seemed to be boiling.
In the depths of the abyss, something seemed to be flickering.
Thanks to the generous reward from Book Friend 20210403030807498, I am extremely grateful and delighted!
PS: I drank two bottles of Red Bull and pushed my limits. I was caught off guard by the sudden announcement of the release date, so I had to write everything on the spot.
Writing here requires more focus and dedication than in other places, so it takes longer.
From now on, I'll update every night at 9 pm sharp!
