Chapter 623: Gathering Half in an Instant

After sending the Dark Void Life Extermination Evasion Fate Dipper Essence back, Kou Chongxue chuckled, “From what I know, Old Man Ji doesn’t have any fate dipper essence. However, I will pass down the order for every Martial Extermination Realm expert of our institution to look for fate dipper essence. I hope we can gather everything you need as soon as possible.”

“Elders, you have given me too much. I don’t dare to hope for much and I won’t accept the rest of the fate dipper essence for nothing in return. I will definitely use treasures of equal worth to trade for them.” Shang Xia explained.

Pointing at the jade case that contained the Imperial Star Fate Dipper, Kou Chongxue snorted, “Hey, that’s a peak-grade Origin Dipper in there. Do you really think it’s worth less than a few strands of fate dipper essence?”

Shang Bo also couldn’t help but speak. “Are you sure you don’t need an Origin Dipper?”

He wasn’t concerned about the Imperial Star Fate Dipper at that point. He was just in a state of disbelief that Shang Xia managed to discover his own way of entering the Martial Dipper Realm.

He wasn’t the only one. Yun Jing, Yan Su’er, and even Kou Chongxue, understood the meaning behind Shang Bo’s question. If they claimed that they weren’t curious about Shang Xia’s advancement method, they would be lying to themselves.

After a short hesitation, Shang Xia muttered, “Well… I don’t need it for now. Of course, that’s because the Imperial Star Fate Dipper isn’t suitable for me. Only by using those that are compatible with my cultivation method will I be able to cultivate properly.”

They became even more surprised after Shang Xia’s explanation.

If he didn’t need the Origin Dipper, that could only mean that he would be refining those fate dipper essences to enter the Martial Dipper Realm. For him to be able to advance without a complete Origin Dipper… What could that possibly entail?

The moment he entered the Martial Dipper Realm and proved that his method was viable, everyone present could foresee that a massive storm would sweep through the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World.

That was because it would signify the fact that the barrier to entering the Martial Dipper Realm would be much lower than before!

.

Even though gathering fate dipper essence wasn’t exactly an easy matter, it was way more possible to do so than to locate a complete Origin Dipper! Naturally, Shang Xia’s requirement of 10 fate dipper essence was a special case.

Shang Xia’s revelation at the end where he would be able to refine suitable Origin Dippers didn’t come as a surprise. After all, it was a lot more believable than whatever he was planning to do.

Kou Chongxue sighed softly. “It doesn’t matter if he succeeds or not. Our conversation will not be leaked to the outside world. Anyone who reveals what has been said here can’t blame me for acting mercilessly when my blade comes for your neck.”

Yun Jing, Shang Bo, and Yan Su’er nodded absentmindedly. It seemed as though they were still trying to digest what Shang Xia said earlier.

Turning to look at Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue said resolutely, “Just tell us if you need anything else. We’ll deal with it all as long as it falls within the scope of our abilities.”

Thinking about it for a second, Shang Xia continued, “Oh right, I also need 5 rank five spiritual treasures and 5 rank four spiritual treasures. They have to be related to the metal, wood, fire, earth, and water elements.”

Shang Xia’s requirements actually revealed a lot. At the very least, they would be able to gain a slight understanding of how he would be entering the Martial Dipper Realm.

Everyone sank into contemplation after hearing what he said, but Shang Xia wasn’t affected at all. He knew that searching for all of them alone was a lost cause. If he had to rely on himself to locate the fate dipper essence, along with all the treasures he required, god knew when he would gather them all.

Only by borrowing the strength of the institution would he be able to complete his preparation to break through to the Five Elements Realm!

As for the price he would have to pay along with the favors he owed, everything could be solved after he broke through. Once he entered the Five Elements Realm, none of them would be a problem! There were many people who were willing to help out Shang Xia at that moment so that they could get him to owe them one. In fact, there would be many who were willing to give him the treasures for free!

Well, using the resources of the institution was one thing. Shang Xia wasn’t afraid that his advancement medicine recipe could be leaked. After all, they probably wouldn’t be able to use it themselves.

Back when Shang Xia entered the Four Constellation Realm, he discovered a terrifying fact. The reason he managed to break through wasn’t completely related to the advancement medicine. The Crimson Soul Tablet also played a crucial role.

Without the help of the tablet, he wouldn’t have been able to refine his Four Seasons Extermination Origins successfully.

By the same logic, if Shang Xia wasn’t mistaken, he would need the help of the Crimson Soul Tablet if he wished to successfully lay the foundation of his fate dippers and complete the harmonization of yin and yang. Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for him to do it.

Yan Su’er, who hadn’t spoken much, spoke suddenly. There was a trace of speculation and admiration in her voice. “You refined 4 extermination origins simultaneously when entering the Martial Extermination Realm. Now that you’re planning to break through to the Martial Dipper Realm, are you going to do the same and refine all 5 fate dippers at once?”

She wasn’t the only one who thought of that.

Everyone’s gaze landed on Shang Xia once again.

Scratching his head subconsciously, Shang Xia gave a silly grin. “It’s a little too soon to think about this…”

“Hehe, your advancement medicine seems a little expensive. 5 rank five spiritual treasures and 5 rank four spiritual treasures… Which advancement formula out there requires such an extravagant lineup?” Yun Jing snorted.

Kou Chongxue also laughed, “Don’t forget… His rank four advancement formula was also really complicated…”

Yun Jing nodded in response. “That’s true. However, he achieved the magnificent feat of refining 4 extermination origins at once. If he really manages to refine 5 fate dippers this time…”

Yun Jing shook her head before reaching out for the tablet again. She didn’t grab anything. Instead, she placed a jade bottle down with a plop. “I don’t have rank five spiritual treasures. However, there are 12 drops of Origin Essence Dew in here. It’s a rank four spiritual treasure. See if it fits your requirements.”

Cupping his fists to express his thanks, he reached for the bottle and opened the restriction on it.

A tranquil yet distant fragrance entered his nose and the words on the Crimson Soul Tablet changed once again.

“Origin Essence Dew. Rank Four Water Attributed Spiritual Treasure.”

Shang Xia nodded. “This is useful indeed. Many thanks, Deputy Patriarch Yun!”

“It’s good that you can use it.” Yun Jing smiled.

Next, Shang Bo pointed at the table and several golden pieces appeared. “These are the fragments that fell after the golden shuttle was broken back then. I brought it to the Weapons Hall back then and they could tell that it contained a large amount of rank five metal. You should bring it to the Weapons Hall for a round of extraction and purification if you want to make use of it.”

Shang Xia played with the tiny pieces that were the size of one segment of his finger and the words on the Crimson Soul Tablet changed again. “Celestial Gold. Rank Five Metal Attributed Spiritual Treasure. Impure.”

Nodding, Shang Xia kept the pieces.

There was obviously no need for him to act too formally with his grandfather.

Yan Su’er had been thinking long and hard after Yun Jing and Shang Bo brought out their treasures. After some time, she retrieved something from her sleeves. “Little Friend Shang Xia, have a look at this.”

Shang Xia turned to see a palm-sized jade that was a deep red in color sitting in her palm.

Yan Su’er explained, “I obtained this during my adventures in the Changbai Mountains a long time ago. I found a piece of warm jade in a lake near the mountain peak and it maintains its temperature no matter the season. Recently, it\'s been getting hotter and hotter. There are times when it feels like a piece of burning coal. Feel free to see if it’s of use to you.”

Shang Xia started to hesitate after hearing the origin of the jade. “Senior Yan, you’ve been carrying this jade for a long time. I can’t accept this.”

Chuckling softly, Yan Su’er muttered, “it’s just a toy in my hands. I can’t use it for much. If it helps you to break through to the Martial Dipper Realm, that would be for the best.”

Since things had gotten to that point, Shang Xia didn’t reject the gift. He held the jade in his hand and looked at the changes on the Crimson Soul Tablet.

“Lava Fire Jade. Rank Four Fire Attributed Spiritual Treasure.”

“I can make use of this. Many thanks, Senior Yan.” Shang Xia nodded slightly.

“You’re welcome.” A contented smile appeared on Yan Su’er’s face.

Finally, Kou Chongxue’s chuckle interrupted all of them. “Hey kid, you’re pretty lucky. However, do you remember the place we first met?”

“Of course. Back then, I guessed that we were in the depths of the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. Only after some time did I learn that we were somewhere inside the spatial barrier that separated us from the battlefield between the two worlds.” Shang Xia replied.

Kou Chongxue sighed softly and continued, “It’s a pity that the place is destroyed. However, I still have some Eternal Spring Fate Dipper Essence I gathered. I also managed to find some stuff after digging through the ruins. That’s why you’re really lucky!”

He placed 2 items on the table before Shang Xia after he spoke.

One of them was a sealed spiritual case, and the moment it was opened, a burst of vitality emerged.

“This is called the White Bone Grass. It contains a huge amount of life force and it’s been called the White Bone of Life by others. It’s a rank four spiritual herb!” Kou Chongxue introduced before opening the other sealed spiritual case. There was a bamboo-shaped jade contained within that was half a foot long lying within. He became a little more serious and continued, “This is a segment of a Ten Thousand Year Bamboo. I discovered this back then but didn’t notice how special it was. It takes a long time to grow, and actually calling it a Ten Thousand Year Bamboo might be an exaggeration. However, It’s definitely a thousand years or older. This segment alone definitely reached the fifth rank because of how long it existed.”

Shang Xia accepted both treasures and evaluated them with the Crimson Soul Tablet. They were pretty much as Kou Chongxue had said and they were wood attributed spiritual treasures that were of the fourth and fifth rank respectively.

He quickly thanked Kou Chongxue for the treasures.

After the treasures had been distributed, Shang Xia managed to obtain a good portion of what he required. He had rank five Celestial Gold that represented the Metal element and a segment of Ten Thousand Year Bamboo that represented the Wood element. Next came the rank four treasures which were the White Bone Grass that represented the Wood element, Origin Essence Dew that represented the Water element, and a piece of Lava Fire Jade that represented the Fire element.
