Chapter 1095: Chapter 1095: Two-Star
Shi Hao smiled and glanced at Ji Xueyi, making the other person feel a bit anxious, then nodded: “Since you’ve said it like this, it wouldn’t make sense for me not to show you some face. Let’s end this matter, and I won’t pursue it any further.”
“Yes, yes, thank you for your magnanimity, Daoist Shi!” Ji Xueyi suddenly patted Ji Xingyu, “Hurry and thank Daoist Shi!”
Ji Xingyu was extremely helpless, but didn’t dare to resist at all, so he had to say again, “Thank you, Young Master Shi, for your magnanimity.”
Shi Hao waved his hand, saying that he would not pursue it, so he would not make a fuss in front of Ji Xingyu.
“By the way, Daoist Shi, are you planning to sell this Immortal Artifact?” Ji Xueyi looked at Shi Hao, his gaze somewhat fervent.
Immortal Artifact, how precious is such a thing; anyone with it can be like a tiger with wings.
If he buys this Immortal Artifact, then as long as he doesn’t use the Ji Family’s resources but his own savings, then this Immortal Artifact would be completely his personal property.
Such temptation, he couldn’t refuse.
Shi Hao nodded: “Indeed.”
Ji Xueyi was both surprised and delighted, yet still a bit bewildered.
Why would Shi Hao want to sell the Immortal Artifact?
Could it be… the other party has another one in hand? Otherwise, this cannot be explained.
Thinking of this, he naturally felt a bit nervous. This is such an incredible foundation, to sell Immortal Artifacts when running out of money, it’s simply unimaginable.
“I’ll offer twenty thousand Immortal Stones, Daoist Shi, could you sell this Immortal Artifact to me?” He asked eagerly.
Ten thousand Immortal Stones is the base price for a Bronze-level Immortal Artifact, but this item has always been of value but not readily available, so whenever one appears, it inevitably causes competition, but how much it can actually sell for is uncertain.
He directly raised the base price by double, sincerely.
Shi Hao thought for a moment, then said: “Alright!”
This is a small city; even the three major households are just at the Copper Armored Immortal level. After years of accumulation, being able to take out twenty thousand Immortal Stones is quite good.
He originally planned to sell for twenty or thirty thousand; now, although it hasn’t reached the expected maximum, it’s still acceptable.
Ji Xueyi was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly said, “I’ll go gather the money immediately.”
He could probably come up with half of the Immortal Stones himself; the rest he would borrow from various places but prefer borrowing over directly taking from the family, for this way the Immortal Artifact would truly be his personal property.
Ji Xingyu watched with envy; this was supposed to be his big achievement, but now, he was bowing to apologize, losing face.
Ji Xueyi left, and Ji Xingyu certainly didn’t dare to stay, so he quickly retreated as well. After more than an hour, Ji Xueyi returned, indeed bringing back twenty thousand Immortal Stones.
Shi Hao checked and threw the Immortal Artifact to the other party, taking the twenty thousand Immortal Stones himself.
Everyone was happy.
Ji Xueyi left jubilantly, eager to test the might of the Immortal Artifact.
Shi Hao casually tossed the Immortal Stones into the Little Star Universe, with a crack, the Immortal Stones shattered quickly, turning into countless tiny glowing particles, then disappearing.
In theory, Immortal Stones are extremely hard, even Jade Immortals find them difficult to break—though Immortal Stones are not solid but condensed by Heaven and Earth Rules, precisely because they are Heaven and Earth Rules; when aggregated in a certain way, they become extremely difficult to break.
However, as long as the rules within are released, the Immortal Stones can easily disintegrate, even completely disappear.
Shi Hao threw the Immortal Stones into the Little Star Universe, allowing the Universe to absorb the rules within the Immortal Stones to perfect his Heaven and Earth, so the Immortal Stones quickly disintegrated.
“The perfection of the Little Star Universe’s rules only increased a tiny bit.”
Shi Hao sighed, the cost and harvest are not proportional at all; trying to feed the Little Star Universe with Immortal Stones feels like a bottomless pit.
Again, thinking about it, the Little Star Universe is actually a world; to perfect a world’s rules, how many Immortal Stones are needed to fill it?
Therefore, one Immortal Stone only improves the Little Star Universe a tiny bit, which is entirely reasonable.
“Hence, I need an enormous amount of Immortal Stones, the more the better.”
Shi Hao himself also understands using Immortal Stones, making the rules manifest and comprehending it is hundreds of times easier than directly sensing Heaven and Earth.
Even so, most Immortals remain stuck at Copper Armored Immortal, showing the difficulty of comprehending Heaven and Earth Rules.
“I’m not far from the Two Stars, strive to break through before heading to the ancient relic.”
His progress is fast and steady, while Weng Nanqing is also remarkable.
This is the Immortal Realm, rules perfect, with abundant treasures, under Shi Hao’s cost-is-no-object nurturing, Weng Nanqing’s progress is surely astounding, now already at the eighty-ninth stage, just one step from reaching the Mortal Level Absolute Summit.
However, crossing this step requires more than a supply of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it needs self-comprehension, so it could be months or years before Weng Nanqing can cross it.
Shi Hao isn’t anxious, letting Weng Nanqing take her time, ensuring a stable foundation.
Time passed day by day, seven days later, Ji Family sent someone to notify Shi Hao that the three major households have decided, two days later they will develop the ancient relic.
Meanwhile, Shi Hao has already reached the end of One Star Copper Armored Immortal, ready for breaking into Two Stars.
Without hesitation, he began the breakthrough.
Actually, there’s no fundamental difference between One Star and Two Star Copper Armored Immortal besides the number of rules grasped, both refine skin using Bronze Immortal Law, so this step of transition is relatively simpler.
Indeed, it was as such; Shi Hao only took half a day to break through the barrier of Two Stars, successfully stepping past it.
Two Stars now.
Shi Hao smiled; at One Star, his combat power rivaled Nine Stars. Now, entering Two Stars, how many moves would it take to defeat a Nine Star Copper Armored Immortal?
Of course, this refers to ordinary Nine Star Copper Armored Immortals; if it’s a monster like Shi Zhong who also reached Nine Stars, no matter how confident Shi Hao is, he’d likely need to first achieve Seven Stars to have a chance of suppressing the opponent.
Another day passed, finally it’s time to set off.
Shi Hao brought along Weng Nanqing and the Purple Gold Rat, meeting with the three major households.
They gathered outside the city at a pavilion, it’s said that people from the city send off others here, over time, someone built a pavilion here.
Though the agreed time hadn’t arrived, the three major households were already all present, each bringing two Immortals and some Heaven Building Ladder, making each about ten people.
Shi Hao led Weng Nanqing over but was immediately stopped.
“What are you two doing?” A young man in a yellow robe asked Shi Hao sternly.
He was Wang Family’s Wang Zeyun, naturally not recognizing who Shi Hao was.
