Chapter 1110 Spirit Nectar
Chapter 1110 Spirit Nectar
Unbeknownst to what was happening back in the secret chamber, Ace stood on the edge of an open cave with molten rocks on its edges. After following Cyrus’s lead, he met with a dead end in the tunnel.
However, the little guy simply spit his flames and melted, opening a pathway for him that would’ve taken miners like Kai hundreds of years to open. Furthermore, Ace discovered that the Spirit Stones wouldn’t burn to ashes with Cyrus’s spirit fire; instead, they became more refined into small beads and dropped on the floor.
Moreover, these refined Spirit Stones seemed to carry even more Qi, so Ace didn’t hesitate to collect them all while the little guy seemed to be more focused on whatever he was sensing.
Hence, they reached this place, and Ace was startled when he saw what was on the other side. His heart palpitated. It was a huge cavern filled with chunks of glowing Spirit Stones, even taller than Ace’s height.
But what drew his attention was the small pond in the center of this cavern. It was filled with a pristine emerald liquid, and extremely dense Qi filled the place. Ace could feel something foreign stirring within the moment he breathed this Spirit Qi-filled air.
“That’s it!” Cyrus cried in ecstasy as he looked towards the emerald liquid pond with a greedy glare, barely able to control his urge to fly over it.
Ace knew this had to be some kind of natural treasure since it was so deep in the spirit stone mines; he didn’t expect he would find something like this just after awakening. He was also glad that he let Cyrus out.
“You really are my lucky start, little brat.” Ace praised, and he was also elated. He stated, “Just as usual, you’ll take half of what you found, and half will go to me!” “Alright!” Cyrus instantly agreed without hesitation.
Ace nodded in satisfaction before he headed towards the pond. The closer he got, the more his heart raced and his body rejuvenated. He really wanted to know what this liquid was, but the system was out of commission, and he didn’t even know if he could use it right now.
Nonetheless, Ace was planning on collecting it, and he would decide to fully utilize it only when the system was awake. Otherwise, there was a chance he might waste it by using it in the wrong way.
“Can I eat it now?” Cyrus asked, his body trembling with agitation.
“Wait, little glutton, let me collect my share first, then you can do whatever you want.” Ace chuckled and told Cyrus, “In the meantime, why don’t you make yourself useful and refine those spirit stones with your spirit fire into those beads for me? We can’t leave them for others since we found them.”
After knowing that the spirit fire had a strange effect on the spirit stones and that they always turned into beads, he had a feeling that there might be some kind of secret to spirit stones that only law state cultivators know, and turning them into beads might be the correct way to utilize them.
Cyrus reluctantly nodded before he flew towards the huge chunks of spirit stones and got to work. Truthfully, it didn’t take much from Cyrus to refine them at all.
Ace nodded in satisfaction at seeing Cyrus being obedient. Then his eyes finally fell on the pond, which was 30 meters in diameter, but he couldn’t see its bottom.
But it didn’t matter as Ace took out a storage flask and poured his twilight Qi into it, a powerful suction force locking on the pond. The tranquil liquid in the pond suddenly stirred and started to flow toward the small flask’s open mouth.
However, the moment the emerald liquid touched the flask, ‘Boom!’ it instantly blasted into Ace’s hand, shocking him as the liquid fell back into the pond.
Ace’s expression changed as he looked at the shards of the flask in his hand and then glanced in astonishment toward the liquid.
Suddenly, a thought came to him, ‘Could it be that the elemental-grade treasures can’t hold the spirit treasures, just like the spirit stones can’t be stored in elemental-grade storage treasures? Well, this is troublesome. But my thief’s space can still hold those spirit stones just fine. Should I try taking the liquid directly into the thief’s space?’
Ace didn’t forget what Kai had told him about elemental-grade storage treasures’ inability to keep spirit stones, and what just happened might be the same case.
“Master, can I have it?” At this moment, Ace suddenly heard Avos’s hesitant voice.
Ace was startled and pleasantly surprised, “You’re awake? Why weren’t you reacting before when I tried to speak with you?”
“I don’t know, master. For some reason, I suddenly fell into slumber when you entered that path, and only now have I suddenly regained my senses because of our connection when you found this Spirit Nectar!” Avos sounded uncertain.
Ace’s eyes shimmered as he quickly asked, “Fell into slumber? It might have something to do with the primordial path of ascension. But since you’re fine, it’s all that matters. Anyway, Spirit Nectar? Do you know what this is?”
Ace felt relieved because Avos was originally from this place, which meant he wouldn’t have to worry about being ignorant anymore. He appreciates all the help he can get in this foreign place.
“I have some knowledge about it. A drop of Spirit Nectar only formed in the heart of an Earth Spirit Vein after a hundred years. But not just any Earth Spirit Vein can form Spirit Nectar.
“You should know a grade-9 Qi stone lode or grade-9 Soul Crystal source would take the shape of auspicious beasts indicating good fortune of heaven on lands, right?” Avos asked.
Ace nodded as he learned about these beast veins from the system when he stole the beast veins from the so-called golden lands of the Skylar imperial family from one of the three mystic zones of Sky Heart Plains.
“Do you mean to say that this spirit nectar could only form in a beast vein? But you just call it an Earth Spirit Vein? Is this what you called a spirit-grade beast vein?” Ace questioned, wanting to know more about this place and its knowledge. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
“You are right yet wrong at the same time, Master.” Avos softly retorted, “I guess, since you’re already ascending, it’s about time I tell about the general knowledge of the Mortal Ascension Heaven!”
