Chapter 1585: Desire



"So… it eats up a lot of spirit stones? That's it?" Yao Ning asked with a confused look. "It's bad, but… I don't think it matters a lot, does it?"

"Who knows?" Liang Shufen said. "Maybe we don't have all the information? Let's watch."

They all waited for the woman on stage to continue on, and she did.

"You might be wondering how much Spirit stones it eats up," she said. "We have the answer right here."

She took the book and flipped it a bit as she arrived at a page.

"The machine must have 1000 Saint Spirit stones of utmost quality before it can even start. If you do not have that many, add as much as you can to get it started."

"When started, considering the weight of an average person including normal rocks that aren't very heavy, it will run for a single day."

"If you add more weight, the time it will run for will reduce even more. At around a ton in total weight, the 1000 Saint Spirit stones will run the machine for barely an hour."

The girl stopped.

Alex and the other elders were stunned by the revelation.

"1000 Saint Spirit stones just to get it started?" Yao Ning was surprised. "Just how much resources did the Mountain Crushing sect waste to strengthen their students?"

"It's more than 1000 if the spirit stones are not in prime condition, which they rarely are," Liang Shufen couldn't help but say. "I believe we have found ourselves a rather nonsensical artifact."

Alex looked at the artifact and frowned a little. "Why did the Mountain Crushing sect lose fall from their grace?" he still questions. "Is it really because they used up all their resources?"

He found that a little hard to believe.

Unfortunately, he didn't have anyone here that could answer him. 

'Not here,' he thought. He would have to ask this question some other time then.

"My apologies, your Majesty," Yao Ning said. "I wasn't aware that the artifact would turn out to be this sort. I don't think we can buy it anymore."

"What do you mean?" Alex asked. "I am going to buy it."

"But it eats a lot of money," she said.

"So? I'll make back that money," Alex said. "Do you know how desperate I have been to body cultivate? I feel like it has been ages since I properly improved my body. I am most definitely going to get this."

"But we have cheaper methods to cultivate back at home," Yao Ning said. "Don't you have those beasts that hit you to body cultivate?"

"I do," Alex said. "But it doesn't work as well. To be able to body cultivate, you need to be hurt from head to toe in every single surface so that it can grow back, stronger."

"The beasts usually just concentrate their attacks on one place, making body cultivation a little harder. It might have worked if they had a normal level of intelligence, but they don't. And I can't always ask Whisker to help me."

"Besides, this will do in an hour what they will take days," Alex said. "It would've been awesome if I got Pearl's blood essence, but it seems that his blood essence is too weak now."

"Unless I take the main blood essence, it won't work, and I'm not doing that," Alex said, petting Pearl's fur on the side.

"Still," Yao Ning spoke. "1000 Saint Spirit stones for a day is… it's a little too expensive. You will lose all of what you earned today in less than 3 years if you use it like that."

"Not to mention, we don't have that many Saint Spirit stones back in the Southern Continent," the Elder said. "Most of our Spirit stones are True Spirit stones, unlike here."

Alex nodded. "I understand your frustration completely," he said. "But I say we buy, so we buy. Even if we don't use it, do you not want our Continent to own an Immortal artifact as well?"

"I…" The elder couldn't argue against that. She did want one quite badly after all. Until their ruler broke back into the Immortal realm, they weren't going to get one any time soon.

Alex had been desperate for body cultivation as well. His Sword aura was quite weak as well, but he could increase it to the appropriate level with just a bit of training.

Since it was Intent that was the most important part of any level of Sword mastery, he only needed some time to change what was already his normal Intent into Intent for the sword.

Given that it was going to be even stronger, it was bound to take him quite a while, but that time was nowhere near atrocious enough in comparison to the speed at which his body cultivation was coming on.

Ever since Pearl's disappearance, his body cultivation has been continuing at a snail's pace and he could not continue like that anymore. 

He needed a proper method to body cultivate, and this was it.

"This fulfills a dream I have had for quite a few years," Alex said. "We are getting it, one way or the other."

The elders saw the resolution on his face and said nothing. They agreed at that point and decided to buy it one way or another.

"While the words I have spoken just now discouraged some of you, I had to speak them to warn you all of its major flaw," the woman continued. "However, you will not need to be that scared of the flaw. While the artifact will only last for a day at most even at the lowest setting, a person has to remain no more than an hour in at a time."

"Since they would be wounded quite extremely, they will have to remain inside for an extremely small period of time before they have to come out to get healed." 

"As a result, in a single day you can have over 20 people cultivate one after another," she said. 

"So, if that has lessened your worries, shall we begin?"
