Chapter 775: Chapter 2: Land of Outstanding People and the Spirit of Penglai, Simple Folk Customs of Jin Baoshan (8k Monthly Ticket Request)
"Fish Head Su Curse Crystal set from First to Third Rank, full state, flawless;"
"Divine Chosen Rashaim Curse Crystal set, First to Third Rank, flawless;"
"God Chosen Edric’s complete set of three Curse Crystals, hmm, severely flawed, the cracks are very obvious..."
"Moreover, there are two more First-tier Curse Crystals, flawless."
"One each of Second and Third-order Erosion Crystals, coming from Zhu Ge Wei."
"Not much left, huh..."
...In the hotel room, taking advantage of the free time while washing up in the morning, Xu Shu reached deep into the lacy panties of a plush cat and rummaged about, counting all of the readily liquidable assets he had left.
He had now reached level 34, just 6 levels shy of achieving Great Perfection of the Second-order Curse Seal "Iron Armor," preparing for the advancement to Phase Three: "Dragon Elephant."
At this moment, of course, he needed to plan ahead and consider the resource issues that would come up next.
Most of the Curse Crystals and Erosion Crystals in this spatial Storage Bag needed to be saved for his own level advancement breakthroughs. He first considered which breakthrough materials needed to be reserved and which could be converted into Contribution Points to purchase ’experience packs’ that would increase his curse power cultivation.
In terms of Curse Seals, for the "Deceitful Monster" part corresponding to the dual profession Curse Seals, Xu Shu already had the required "Mark" for the third rank.
Previously, in the underground ruins, his Epic "Yin God" Mark had already been sacrificed and acquired.
Curse Crystals could directly merge with the Mark to evolve into "Curse Seal."
In other words, Curse Crystal = talisman = (Erosion Crystal + Taoist Transcendent processing fee)
Therefore, the two Third Rank "complete" Curse Crystals in his backpack definitely couldn’t be touched; he needed to save those for his own use.
He had the Curse Seal, now he was only short of a Mystical Chapter for advancement.
This required using the method of "Continuing the Legend" to contact the Legendary Three-source Dao Mark Wang Teng to obtain it.
Based on the experience of ’Wang Teng obtaining a Legendary Mystical Chapter after breaking through First Rank,’ Xu Shu speculated that this time he would likely need to get a small account through Second Rank to successfully secure a new Legendary Mystical Chapter.
Therefore, he still needed to reserve one Second-order Curse Crystal + one Martial Artist Mark for Wang Teng’s advancement.
He had already collected these two things.
"3+3+2, three flawless level Curse Crystals, ’Yin God’ + ’Martial Artist’, two Epic Marks, all the basic materials are ready..."
Xu Shu quietly operated, categorizing these items in the lace Storage Bag and the Tai Chu Scroll’s inventory, storing them separately in a corner.
Next to consider was experience materials.
Xu Shu was now a big spender, and although it seemed he only needed 6 more levels to advance to the peak of Second-stage Late Great Perfection, in reality, the money needed for these 6 levels was quite a lot.
To advance to the next level, he now needed materials worth more than 300 Contribution Points.
For six levels, even if the increase in required curse power for each level isn’t as terrifying, the total will definitely be no less than 2000 points, and maybe even close to 2500 points.
"A full thousand measures of Qian, when converted into Alliance currency, that’s heading towards thirty million, sigh..."
Just thinking about this figure, Xu Shu felt dizzy and had a terribly aching tooth.
So poor!
Money was a big problem!
If he could take off Ning Baishou’s head and claim the billion bounty, he wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore...
After deep consideration, Xu Shu decided to do three things today.
First was to head to the "City District" in the Penglai District to find a reliable foothold.
Though Penglai District Wasteland was bizarrely prosperous, with even a small border town near the boundary having a population of thirty to forty thousand, it was quite fearsome.
But once bitten, twice shy.
Even so, Xu Shu didn’t think residing in the Wasteland was a long-term plan.
Hence, he must secure a residency qualification within the safety zone; only then could he be secure.
It’s just that with such high consumption and living prices in Penglai District, the residential taxes in the safety zone would likely not be cheap.
Fortunately, for himself at this moment, this was but a minor issue, not worth fretting over.
Could he use his "High-level Prosecutor" badge here?
Xu Shu didn’t hold much hope.
The second thing, of course, was to exchange for money to level up.
He planned to sell off all the remaining first and second-tier Curse Crystals and Erosion Crystals.
He originally felt there might be some secrets in the Curse Crystals that made him reluctant to sell, but now he couldn’t manage that much anymore, increasing his strength was most important.
Not to mention anything else, the four First-tier Curse Crystals, surely they could be sold for at least 350 points a piece, right? After all, Curse Crystals are equivalent to finished talismans, definitely pricier than the same quality Erosion Crystals, which sell for 310.
Just from these, he could gather close to 1500 Contribution Points.
Add to that two Second-tier Curse Crystals, one Second-tier Erosion Crystal, well, first and second-tier crystal price increases aren’t much, especially for flawless quality, the Second-tier flawless Curse Crystal could probably top out at 450, selling three might ballpark to nearly 1500.
Selling these items, mostly enough to meet his needs for leveling up and living in the safety zone, he could even have a bit left over.
If it was still insufficient, the three flawed Curse Crystals from Edric might also find a buyer if needed.
Damaged as they were, Xu Shu wouldn’t consider using them for Curse Seals for safety reasons; if no one was willing to take them off his hands, he might have to use them as fodder.
As for the last thing, of course, it was to activate ’Continuing the Legend’ after the first two matters were settled, to contact the Dao Mark and check on the status of Curse Fetus Wang Teng!
Since the closure of the Female Void Palace almost half a month had passed, and there had been no news from the "bride" Xie Xiao Chan.
