Chapter 202: Sixth-Grade Magic Core Crystal Material!
Jiang Lin was unaware that Mr. Yao and Xiao Yi Xian were gossiping behind his back. It took him two days of flying, stopping along the way, to finally reach the Gamma Sacred City.
The flight speed of the Six-Leaf Wing Scabbard Wings was very fast, but Jiang Lin's own cultivation realm limited the speed of the wings. As for the Water System Crystal Pearl, which contained fighting spirit nearing that of a Dou Wang, Jiang Lin would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
When Jiang Lin returned to the Weapon Refining Guild, he noticed significant changes outside. Many weapon factories had been established around the Guild, and he could occasionally see powerful military forces stationed nearby, with soldiers equipped with the Dual-Leaf Wing Scabbard Wings, preventing any unwanted people from infiltrating.
Furthermore, when Jiang Lin entered the Gamma Sacred City, he noticed that people at the Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling levels occasionally flew using the Dual-Leaf Wing Scabbard Wings outside the city, but once inside the city, they would land. Understanding that there might be a no-fly zone within the city, Jiang Lin chose to walk in.
When he approached the Weapon Refining Guild, Jiang Lin was stopped by a squad of soldiers wearing silver-white armor. However, when Jiang Lin took out his fourth-grade Young Lin Xuanyi Master badge, the soldiers immediately stepped aside, saluting him with a fist to their chests. Jiang Lin nodded lightly and walked into the still-empty Guild, where he found Yuan Pangzi reading a magazine titled "The Overbearing Sect Leader Fell in Love with the Fat Me."
"Senior brother, has the master returned yet?" Jiang Lin coughed lightly to remind Yuan Pangzi that someone had arrived.
"Ah?" Yuan Pangzi jumped in surprise. When he saw Jiang Lin standing quietly in front of him, he slapped his chest and said with a bit of a start, "Junior brother, how do you walk so silently? It's too scary!" While slapping his exaggeratedly large chest muscles, Yuan Pangzi discreetly tucked the magazine into his spatial ring.
"Huh, junior brother, it looks like you've gained quite a bit. You're now a one-star Da Dou Shi." After casually putting everything away, Yuan Pangzi looked at Jiang Lin, noticing the fighting spirit of the Dou Ling realm. Since Jiang Lin did not make much effort to hide his aura, Yuan Pangzi could sense Jiang Lin's cultivation level at close range.
"I stole a six-grade magical beast's lair in the Beast Mountain Range and got a bit of a windfall." Jiang Lin smiled brightly. There was no need to hide this.
"Ah, it was that Purple Crystal Wing Lion King, right? That guy had been causing trouble for a long time, but it seems he's finally calmed down a bit, haha!" Yuan Pangzi, living in the imperial capital, naturally had access to a lot of information, so he immediately knew where Jiang Lin had been.
Yuan Pangzi knew that Jiang Lin had two Xuan Ling Pills, so although he was surprised at Jiang Lin's rapid progress from a Five-Star Dou Shi to a One-Star Da Dou Shi in just over six months, he was not overwhelmed. He was impressed by the Purple Crystal Wing Lion King's treasure, but it wasn't something he couldn't accept.
"By the way, have you seen the Yun Lan Sect Master?" Yuan Pangzi suddenly leaned toward Jiang Lin, speaking with a sly tone.
"... We reached a bit of an understanding, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to steal the lair." Jiang Lin took a few steps back, mildly annoyed, avoiding Yuan Pangzi's ear-to-ear whispers.
"Is she really as cold and beautiful as the rumors say?" Yuan Pangzi pressed on.
"... I think you could just go to the Yun Lan Sect yourself and ask her in person." Jiang Lin's face darkened slightly.
"... Fine." Not receiving the answer he wanted, Yuan Pangzi sighed with an inexplicable expression.
"Your medicinal pill cauldron has been made. It's already recorded, just go to the warehouse and ask for it from Ha Mo. He's on duty. Master Hu Lei still hasn't returned. Whenever he comes back, he always spends some time learning something before coming back, so he won't be back soon." Yuan Pangzi waved his hand, signaling that Jiang Lin was no longer of use and pushing him away like he was shooing a fly.
"... " Jiang Lin was slightly speechless at Yuan Pangzi's sudden change of expression, but still, following the principle of asking senior brother for help, he asked, "Senior brother, does the Weapon Refining Guild have any six-grade magic cores, or perhaps used six-grade magic core crystals?"
"Six-grade magic cores?" Yuan Pangzi's eyes widened immediately. He scrutinized Jiang Lin for a long while before speaking earnestly, "Junior brother, don't be so paranoid, okay? If a six-grade magic core explodes, even a Dou Wang can't withstand it!"
Yuan Pangzi instinctively thought that Jiang Lin wanted to study the six-grade magic core, but those things weren't safe. They were like heavy artillery shells that could explode, and if one went off inside the Weapon Refining Guild, the guild would likely have to rebuild.
"... What about used six-grade magic core crystals? I won't touch the full six-grade magic cores since they're too dangerous." Jiang Lin took a step back in his request, hoping it would sound more reasonable.
Upon hearing Jiang Lin's more modest request for used six-grade magic core crystals, Yuan Pangzi's internal resistance slightly decreased.
Yuan Pangzi sighed and said to Jiang Lin with a bitter smile, "Junior brother, do you think six-grade magic cores are like fruit at the market? You can just take as many as you want? There are many six-grade magical beasts in the Gamma Empire, but six-grade magic cores are hard to handle. Each one means the death of a six-grade magical beast, and generally, high-level humans and high-level magical beasts have a truce agreement. Unless someone makes a mistake, they won't attack each other."
"Take the Purple Crystal Wing Lion King you encountered in the Beast Mountain Range. I heard Old Man Han discussing it the other day. That Purple Crystal Wing Lion King's strength just reached the middle stage of the six-grade, equivalent to the level of a Four-Star or Five-Star Dou Huang, almost on par with President Fa Ma. If it could be killed, the Gamma Royal Guard, old man Ma with the Nine-Star Dou Huang peak strength, would have taken care of it already."
"But unless the Purple Crystal Wing Lion King breaks the truce, Old Man Ma can't make a move. Doing so would provoke stronger magical beasts to intervene."
"I just want to collect some high-grade magic core crystals for research." After Yuan Pangzi's long lecture, Jiang Lin could only weakly explain his intentions.
"Sigh." Yuan Pangzi rolled his eyes at Jiang Lin and laughed bitterly, "Magic core crystals are excellent refining materials. They can amplify the fighting spirit output of a fighting tool. Do you think if there were six-grade magic core crystals, Master Hu Lei would leave them for us? Moreover, it's been years since I heard about the fall of any six-grade magical beasts. Most of the usable magic core crystals we have now come from fossils mined from the Canghai area."
Magic core materials, being special biological materials, become increasingly difficult to acquire as their grade increases.
