Chapter 10: Chapter 10: To Hell With It, Sacrifice It First
After the two of them finished their discussion.
Watching the excited Yu Boyuan leave.
Lu Yu’Er sneered.
’She knew that now that she has awakened a D Level Talent, she would definitely be disfavored by her family.’
’Wanting the family to help her deal with a future SSS Level Sacrificial Master...’
’...was clearly unrealistic.’
So, Lu Yu’Er could only look for other methods.
"Damn you, Fang Xiu! You stole my SSS Level Talent! Just you wait!"
Lu Yu’Er said viciously.
All along, she had firmly believed this was all Fang Xiu’s fault for giving up his spot.
...
"ACHOO!"
Fang Xiu, who was cultivating in the Gate World, suddenly sneezed.
"Damn, why is it so cold?"
Fang Xiu suddenly felt a chill sweep over his entire body.
Opening his eyes, he saw that all the surrounding grass was drooping.
’The temperature swing in this Gate World is way too big, isn’t it?’
There was no danger around, but the temperature had plummeted.
Fang Xiu was helpless. Just moments ago when he had started his Cultivation, the weather had been pleasant.
He hadn’t even been cultivating for that long, and the temperature had already dropped to this extent.
’I’ll freeze to death if I try to cultivate in this weather.’
Fang Xiu quickly got up and returned to the real world.
He found some winter clothes and entered the Gate World once more.
’Much better. But it seems this will affect my Cultivation. What on earth is going on with this Gate World?’
At this moment, Fang Xiu was even more curious about this Gate World.
It wasn’t as if harsh climates in Gate Worlds were rare.
Gate Worlds with all sorts of climates had appeared before.
Gales and torrential rain, lightning and thunder, and even glaciers and seas of fire had all been seen before.
But Fang Xiu had never heard of a place where the temperature suddenly plummeted like this.
One second it felt like a perfectly mild autumn, and the next it was the dead of winter.
’Anyway, I can’t cultivate right now. I might as well look around and see if there’s anything I can Sacrifice!’
Fang Xiu was now a little curious.
After all, he had the system and was an SSS Level Sacrificial Master himself.
Theoretically, as long as he had enough Spiritual Power, he could Sacrifice anything.
He could even go so far as to Sacrifice all the Demon Beasts and Gate Worlds in existence.
The prerequisite was having enough Spiritual Power to support it.
Perhaps after reaching Hundred Level, Fang Xiu’s Spiritual Power would be sufficient.
As for whether he would actually do it, Fang Xiu quite liked living.
Along the way, all Fang Xiu saw was grass, Rock, trees...
It seemed none of these things could be Sacrificed.
’Wait, trees?’
Fang Xiu suddenly remembered that some trees were also excellent Refining Materials.
The so-called Artifact Refining here referred to Equipment like swords, spears, Magic Staffs, as well as defensive clothes, helmets, and boots.
A long time ago, powerful individuals who had awakened life Professions discovered that by using materials from Gate Worlds, or even parts from Demon Beasts...
...the weapons they forged could increase Attack Power.
And even increase Magic damage.
Armor also had much higher Defense Power than traditionally forged plate mail and the like.
This led some of the Awakened to venture into Gate Worlds just to find these special materials.
’Let’s give it a try. System, inspect the tree in front of me!’
Fang Xiu had the system inspect it directly.
[Profound Ice Illusion Wood. If Sacrificed to the God of Malice and Terror, he will be furious and will inflict the most terrible punishment!]
Fang Xiu: ...
’If I can’t Sacrifice it, then I can’t Sacrifice it.’
’Why be so dramatic?’
"Profound Ice Illusion Wood... that name sounds a bit familiar!"
After complaining about the system for a moment.
He suddenly remembered, ’Isn’t this the main material for forging an Ice Staff?’
Forging an Ice Staff with Profound Ice Illusion Wood had a certain chance of producing the Skill [Ice Illusion Realm].
After Releasing this Skill, it could inflict illusions on enemies, with the duration varying based on the relative strength of both parties.
It was said that there was once an Ice Mage who was above Level 70.
Using a Magic Staff that possessed the Ice Illusion Realm Skill, he made the ordinary people of an entire city live in an Illusion Realm for a year.
This was enough to prove how terrifying Ice Illusion Realm was, and it also showed just how precious Profound Ice Illusion Wood was.
’I heard that a single Profound Ice Illusion Wood tree sells for a million now, and I own an entire forest of them?’
Fang Xiu really hadn’t expected that the thing that would bring down the most terrible punishment if Sacrificed...
...was actually the Profound Ice Illusion Wood that the outside world coveted.
’Sigh. Suddenly striking it rich... I’ve completely lost my small goal of getting stronger!’
Fang Xiu sighed.
Although he was already from a rich family, he still hoped to acquire wealth through his own strength.
But on the very first day of his Awakening, he’d come home only to strike it rich all over again.
No one could possibly understand this feeling.
"This is so damn awesome!"
Fang Xiu looked at the entire forest of Profound Ice Illusion Wood before him.
This was a fortune!
However, Fang Xiu had no intention of cutting them down to sell for money.
After all, what he needed right now wasn’t money.
The fortune his parents had left behind before they passed away was already enough for Fang Xiu to live extravagantly for a lifetime.
’Let’s see if there’s anything else!’
Fang Xiu walked straight ahead.
With no Demon Beasts nearby, Fang Xiu could relax a little.
But he still maintained the necessary vigilance.
’Sacrificing this one gets your arm torn off...’
’Sacrificing this one gets your head twisted off...’
’This one’s milder. Sacrificing it only gets your appendix removed. Should I try it? Wait, I misread. It says you’ll have everything *but* your appendix removed.’
"..."
As Fang Xiu walked, he used the system to inspect many things.
Without exception, they were all... good things.
But this so-called "good" was only in the context of Fang Xiu’s world.
Not a single one of them could be Sacrificed.
The lightest punishment was having a finger chopped off; the heaviest was having your entire body taken away, leaving only your appendix.
’It seems that although there are a lot of good materials here, there’s nothing I can Sacrifice.’
Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly, then leaned back against the stone he had been cultivating on.
He said casually, "System, inspect this stone!"
[Sumeru Heavy Crystal Cow Dung. Sacrifice it to the Flower God. It just so happens that in her little garden, she’s digging... there’s a little seed, blooming a little... she needs it. The Flower God will be very happy to bestow a reward.]
"The hell? This is cow dung?"
Fang Xiu couldn’t believe it. This hard, large "Rock" that he had been sitting and leaning on for so long...
...was actually a pile of freaking cow dung?
’But this thing... can actually be Sacrificed?’
Fang Xiu really hadn’t expected this.
So many precious plants and trees couldn’t be Sacrificed.
Yet this unremarkable pile of cow dung could be Sacrificed, and even for a reward.
’Who cares! I’ll Sacrifice it first and figure it out later!’
Since the system said it could be Sacrificed, then it definitely could be.
Delays only breed trouble. Fang Xiu didn’t hesitate. He pulled out his Magic Staff. "Respected Flower God, I now Sacrifice this pile of Sumeru Heavy Crystal Cow Dung to you. May it find its use in your little garden where you dig...!"
After Fang Xiu finished the chant.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the pile of cow dung was shining brightly!
