The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms - Chapter 3286 - 3281: The Whereabouts of Bao Lu_1
Chapter 3286: Chapter 3281: The Whereabouts of Bao Lu_1
“Yes, this horn is indeed the Brahma Horn of the Flame Spirit Race,” Yang Chen said.
“You were able to obtain this horn?” The green-robed steward looked doubtful and then muttered, “Never mind, it doesn’t concern me. A Fantasy Horn can be exchanged for 2,000 Jiyu Essences. Are you sure you want to make the trade?”
“Yes, I’m sure,” Yang Chen replied.
The green-robed steward flipped his wrist, and somehow produced a storage bag. He then lightly tapped it, and a large amount of Jiyu Essences appeared.
The Jiyu Essences looked like snowflakes, with a blue ocean color. Under the control of the green-robed steward, they were all poured into Yang Chen’s token.
When Yang Chen took his token back and checked it, the space inside was filled with countless Jiyu Essences that floated in the darkness.
Upon further inspection:
Jiyu Essences: 2,871
Merit Grade: 0
Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask in amazement, “Why is my Merit Grade still at level zero even though I have more than 1,000 Jiyu Essences?”
“You think it’s that easy? You think that once you have enough Jiyu Essences, your Merit Grade will automatically upgrade? That would make it too easy to trade Jiyu Essences since your Merit Grade would have already increased by then,” the green-robed steward sneered at Yang Chen’s naivety.
Feeling confused, Yang Chen asked, “Then how do I upgrade?”
The green-robed steward impatiently replied, “It’s simple. If you agree, I’ll help you upgrade, but I need to deduct 1,000 Jiyu Essences first.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile, as he didn’t expect upgrading to cost so many Jiyu Essences.
Jiyu Essences had many uses, and it was up to the cultivators to decide whether or not to upgrade their Merit Grade. While others might have hesitated, Yang Chen made up his mind in an instant.
“Upgrade it,” Yang Chen said.
Without further explanation, the green-robed steward deducted the Jiyu Essences from Yang Chen and helped him raise his Merit Grade to level one.
When Yang Chen checked his token again, his Jiyu essences had decreased from over 2,000 to just over 1,000.
However, his Merit Grade had indeed jumped from level zero to level one.
The bitter journey to level one left Yang Chen feeling rather sentimental. For a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “How much Jiyu essence is needed for future upgrades?”
“There are books in the Sub-hall. Go look it up yourself. Don’t waste other people’s time,” the green-robed steward scolded.
Yang Chen was just one of many newcomers the green-robed steward had encountered, and he had no interest in waiting on them.
Feeling helpless, Yang Chen knew that it would be pointless to argue with the green-robed steward. In the end, the only one who would suffer would be himself.
With that in mind, Yang Chen turned and left, continuing his search through the Sub-hall.
Soon, he found the information on how much Jiyu Essence was needed for each upgrade of Merit Grade.
Upon seeing the requirements, Yang Chen couldn’t help but be shocked.
The amount of Jiyu Essence needed for each Merit Grade upgrade was truly astronomical.
Level 1: 1,000 Jiyu Essences.
Level 2: 5,000 Jiyu Essences.
Level 3: 10,000 Jiyu Essences.
At level 6, 100,000 Jiyu Essences were required.
Compared to his previous estimates, with 200,000 Jiyu Essences, he could at most raise his Merit Grade to level 6!
The requirements became even greater afterward.
This was only within the ten levels of Merit, not including the Protector Emperor. The amount of Jiyu Essence needed to upgrade from Tenth-level Merit to Protector Emperor was even more astronomical, with the difficulty being exponentially greater than that of going from level 9 to level 10.
When he looked at the Heavenly Defender and Eternal Human Emperor, the required amount was even more staggering, almost unimaginable.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but lament, “No wonder even someone like Princess Wenqi, who has reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, couldn’t raise her Merit Grade to the rank of Protector Emperor within the Taiyuan Star System. Having enough Jiyu Essences to reach level 10 is already quite a frightening feat, let alone being a Protector Emperor or a Heavenly Defender.”
No wonder Princess Wenqi had confidently assured that no one would dare to touch him once he had obtained these two titles.
Who would dare?
Those with such titles in the Earth Spirit Hall were proven warriors, having won countless battles. Looking back, even a seven-level Merit would be enough to garner admiration, let alone the even higher Merit Grades of the Protector Emperor.
As Yang Chen sighed, he suddenly had a goal in his mind.
“Considering my current situation, the total reward for taking on this level-four.Interface should be around 50,000 Jiyu Essences. The highest reward is for finding the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden of the Flame Spirit Clan, which is 200,000 Jiyu Essences. It’s a greater bounty,” Yang Chen said to himself.
Soon, he shook his head.
“I must have been too greedy. With my current Merit Grade, I should take it one step at a time,” Yang Chen said before shaking his head.
If others knew his thoughts, they would undoubtedly laugh at him for reaching too far.
However, since he had accepted the task of finding the Holy Maiden of the Flame Spirit Clan, he had to complete it.
But before that, he needed to find the Eldest Elder of the Spirit Fire Clan, Wan Tianyu.
For special tasks like this, the final reward must be claimed from Wan Tianyu, so he had to discuss it with him first.
With this in mind, Yang Chen obtained a map leading to the Spirit Fire World and set off for Wan Tianyu’s location.
The information about Wan Tianyu’s residence had already been marked on the map. It was located on Sky Opening Mountain, where the Origin Ancient Tree was located, a place that Mo Wenfeng had mentioned could only be lived in by those with Merit Grades of level 9 or above.
As Yang Chen set off, he suddenly noticed a familiar face in the Earth Spirit Hall.
This person was none other than the Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan member he had saved before, Heng Ye.
Seeing Heng Ye, Yang Chen immediately wanted to ask about the whereabouts of his Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix friend, so he stepped forward and called out, “Daoist Friend Heng Ye!”
When Heng Ye saw Yang Chen, he was momentarily stunned and asked, “Brother Yang Chen, what can I do for you?”
Seeing that Heng Ye was getting straight to the point, Yang Chen shrugged helplessly, “Daoist Friend Heng Ye, since you are from the Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan, I wanted to ask if you could help me find someone. Is that possible?”
Heng Ye frowned and asked, “Brother Yang Chen, do you have friends in my Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan?”
“Yes, that’s right,” Yang Chen replied.
With a puzzled look, Heng Ye inquired, “Brother Yang Chen, whose whereabouts do you want to ask about?”
“Her name is Bao Lu,” Yang Chen said.
Upon hearing the name, Heng Ye suddenly seemed to remember something. After a brief shock, he clenched his teeth and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know her.”
After saying this, he turned around and left without stopping.
The more Yang Chen watched Heng Ye’s behavior, the more confused he became. Heng Ye’s identity was already quite strange, but his current attitude was even stranger.
