Chapter 686: Not A Small Matter

“Of course there is. However, magical energy is not a water source. Every person’s cultivation technique is different, and naturally, the magical energy attribute cultivated would also be different. Even if you store it, it’ll only be able to be used by yourself. Furthermore, that kind of artifact is extremely precious and cannot be used by ordinary practitioners. Only faction leaders and mighty talents are qualified to use them.”

“Haha, if everyone is cultivating the same technique, won’t they be able to exchange it then?” Hook immediately felt some disdain when he heard his words.

The trusted aid of the Upper Realm’s Devil Saint was unexpectedly this ignorant. At least most people on Earth knew that magical energy was interchangeable…

At this time, he naturally did not know that what Vigilante A could do was not something that the mighty beings from the Upper Realm could easily do as well.

He simply habitually believed that all the cultivation knowledge on Earth came from the Upper Realm, and that what Vigilante A could do, the Upper Realm powerful beings could naturally do better.

“Oh, do you mean that Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique that became popular recently? That is indeed a remarkable feat. Even my master has nothing but praise for that. The magical energy produced by cultivating this ability can indeed be used interchangeably. However, I also said that artifacts used to store magical energy are very precious, and only those who have obtained good results can have a few artifacts to store them. Ordinary practitioners can’t use them.”

“Is that so?” Hook felt even more disdainful, but instead of showing it, he retorted, “However, according to my information, the teller in the second Magical Provenance that recently opened said that a magical power vial could be provided as a medium for lending magical energy. It can be used as long as a person is a Basin-level master. Doesn’t that mean that the artifacts or storing magical energy can be produced in mass quantities?”

“That’s impossible!” A sound of disbelief rang from the phone, “In the memories my master gave me, only mighty beings the level of holy immortals and Buddhas are able to refine a magical energy storage artifact. You Earthlings should be very clear on how high the labor costs are. The holy immortals and buddhas are noble existences, how could they mass produce such artifacts?!”

“Well, although you find it hard to believe, it’s a fact. I can even send you the surveillance video.” Hearing this, Hook already felt slightly discouraged in his heart.

‘Did that bastard Vigilante A really hold deeper technological secrets?’

After a while, he sent the video through his mobile phone. It was the video about the black teller girl’s business promotion process to her customers…

Soon, a new sound rang from his phone.

“I see, I get it now. So this is supposed to be the new business launched by Vigilante A… Who would’ve thought that he would have so much time on his hands to spend refining these artifacts for low cultivator practitioners… How worthless. It doesn’t make sense at all.”

“Hm? Why do you say that?” Hook was confused.

“It’s very simple. Even if all you Earthlings were third transformation cultivators, the magical energy gathered from all of you in one year would still be less than the amount of magical energy my master can produce while respiring vitality at his peak. Hearing this, don’t you think that it’s meaningless to do this kind of magical energy collection? The most effective way of becoming stronger is to train talented cultivators and win over a saint or bodhisattva… and do less of these senseless games.” The other party was very disdainful.

“Hiss…” Hearing this, for the first time, Hook felt fear over a top-tier cultivator.

‘It turns out that what I value so much is just so tiny in the eyes of another. Like ants who find crossing a ditch extremely difficult, it doesn’t even know that humans can already conquer the skies and entered the seas.’

Hook had just lost heart when his eyes suddenly turned, and he said, “If what you said was true, then as a descended True Dragon from the Upper Realm, why would Vigilante A do something as meaningless as this?”

“Uh…” Black Robe was stuck.

Hook immediately felt immense disdain. ‘The position of Zhi Nan’s trusted aide was really wasted on this Black Robe. He couldn’t even think of the answer to such a simple question.’

After a while, he finally continued, “Vigilante A cultivates the Path of Heavenly Punishment. It’s very understandable if he behaves strangely. For example, he’s already an Inland-Sea Level powerhouse, but he still makes things difficult for petty thieves every day. Would anyone else do that? The only explanation is that he needs to do that, otherwise his cultivation would suffer a retrogression. As for what he’s doing now, I’m afraid it has something to do with his cultivation path as well. However, it’s meaningful for him to catch thieves, but what’s the point of you catching thieves?”

“Uh…” This time, it was Hook that was speechless.

“Well, I’m very busy. I don’t have time to deal with a common sense matter like this. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re of great value, I wouldn’t have bothered talking so much to you. You humans have too many problems, and they’re all boring.” The other party hung up.

“Bastard!” Hook’s anger burst out of his chest.

He was very clear that the other party looked down on him completely. Although he held a high position in the eyes of ordinary people, he was only an errand boy and a gopher in the circle of these devils and national cultivators. He could only play the role of a police officer who arrived late in the movies.

‘Could it be that just as he said, the Magical Provenance is really meaningless? Why not raise a top-notch cultivator?

‘No, no, that Black Robe is arrogant and conceited. He must have said it dismissively.’

How would a cunning person like Hook be fooled by that empty talk?

After all, the advantages of the Magical Provenance was clear at a glance.

Indeed, perhaps he did not lie. The magical energy cultivated by billions of people on earth might not be comparable to the Devil Saint’s in his heydays.

However, how many saints were there? If one were to appear, it would be entirely due to luck.

On the contrary, the human population could grow indefinitely.

The Earth’s population limit was far from being reached. In addition to the Era of Vitality, the existence of various diversion spells and the unreachable space could be cut down for the first time.

Thinking about this, Hook regained confidence.

There was no doubt of the importance of the Magical Provenance. However, the key lay in what the other party had mentioned: the magical power vial. It was not an artifact in a game. In reality, it was an extremely precious artifact and was a mystical item that could only be made in small quantities by mighty beings.

However, now, Vigilante A had the ability to mass produce them… and even the ability to recover them at any time.

This was why the other party dared to cooperate with others.

‘I never imagined this. I never thought that the key was this. I only saw the worth of the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique, and the great uses of the magical energy bank, but I never thought that in reality, the medium would be what was most important…

‘This definitely isn’t a trivial matter.

‘Then, how exactly did Vigilante A obtain such a large amount of magical power vials…’

In the System Space.

There was a huge fire in the blacksmith’s forge. Eight threads ran at full speed, working day and night…

“I’ll say, Rich-man Host, you learned culinary and alchemy, can’t you learn to forge as well…” The System was dissatisfied at the person who was currently playing games.

“Hey, I’m just a soul. I can’t lift those hammers of yours. It’s too tiring. I won’t learn.” Fang Ning shook his head.

“Damn it, do you know that new Magical Provenances require large amounts of widgets similar to Element Replenishment Sarira pearls? Although there aren’t that many Basin-level powerhouses, there are hundreds of thousands of them in the world, and there’ll be even more in the future. Where would I find the time to make so many?” The System grumbled angrily.

“Well, take your time. Besides, you can work with multiple threads. Just let them line-up.” Fang Ning said placatingly, “Think of it this way. One more magical power vial you make is one more source of strength in the future. This is the foundation to ensure our safety.”

“Oh, forget it then. Besides, it’s not my body that’ll get tired.” Sir System said, resigned.

“…” Fang Ning was speechless.
