Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

"I didn't know such a thing existed."

Chen Ye was quite surprised to hear this. He never expected that Wan Yi's Qiankun Gourd was actually won in a bet.

What's more, the person he was betting on was actually a friend!
This friend's identity must be extraordinary. Even a 100,000-yuan Qiankun Gourd would only be good for collecting dust in his hands. How powerful must he be to use a million-yuan Qiankun Gourd?

"A 100,000-ton Qiankun Gourd can produce Great Dao Water three times a day. What level can a million-ton one reach? Is it thirty times?" Chen Ye asked doubtfully.

"It's probably around ten times. You know, this thing is incredibly precious to begin with. Once it reaches a higher level, the quantity will decrease. It's not as much as you imagine. The value of the Qiankun Gourd lies in its ability to produce Dao Water. The higher the frequency and the more times it produces it, the higher its value will be. So, the reason why the Qiankun Gourd you see is so expensive is because of its grade."

With the explanation from Daoist Yuxu, Chen Ye gained a basic understanding of the Qiankun Gourd.

"Even a Qiankun Gourd produced ten times would be extremely precious, yet it costs so many gold coins, this is outrageous!" Chen Ye exclaimed in astonishment.

"Hahaha, don't underestimate this ten times. There are no more than a hundred Qiankun Gourds that have reached this level, and that's in the entire Sky City. His friend is a senior member of the council, probably on par with Zhiyin. That's extraordinary. To reach this level, they must be incredibly powerful. Wan Yi is able to make such a friend, which shows he has a very wide circle of friends."

Master Yuxu couldn't help but sigh.

as predicted.

Sky City still relies heavily on personal connections.

Making good friends makes things much easier.

Beings like Wan Yi can certainly associate with people at very high levels.

Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little envious.

To be able to obtain the Qiankun Gourd is truly extraordinary!

However, Chen Ye also knew that Wan Yi was able to obtain the Qiankun Gourd entirely through his own abilities. The challenge of becoming the True Dragon's successor was extremely difficult, and even in his current state, Chen Ye might not be able to succeed in the competition.

It is said that a true descendant of the dragon must enter within thirty years.

But Chen Ye didn't actually know how many years he had lived.

In any case, it will be another year before the next True Dragon Descendant event begins.

With this year spent cultivating in the spirit realm, Chen Ye still has a long way to go before he can reach the upper limit required to become a true dragon descendant.

Therefore, Chen Ye's mind became calm, and he was no longer troubled by these worldly matters.

What props would you recommend I buy?

Chen Ye held 121,000 gold coins in his hand and was still somewhat inclined to spend them, after all, there were just too many good things in Sky City.

Wan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Are you interested in capturing light spirits?"

How do I capture a Light Spirit?

Chen Ye couldn't help but ask curiously.

"As for the Light Spirit, you need to defeat it and then use the Light Spirit Orb. Each Light Spirit Orb has a different space that can provide a container space for the Light Spirit to live in. It also simulates the aura of the laws, which can be adapted to the Light Spirit's living. If the Light Spirit lives in the Light Spirit Orb, it can also comprehend the laws and cultivate."

"Therefore, if the goal is to capture a Light Spirit, it is best to prepare a few Light Spirit Orbs as a backup option."

"Of course, because the craftsmanship of the Light Spirit Orb is quite exquisite, it takes a thousand gold coins to buy just one container."

"This thing isn't exactly cheap, but it's not very expensive either."

With Wan Yi's explanation, Chen Ye nodded and said, "Then I'll go to this shopkeeper and buy a few Light Spirit Pearls as backup. Maybe we can capture Light Spirits."

Wan Yi nodded and said, "It's best not to buy anything too expensive. After all, you don't have the habit of capturing light spirits yet. Also, the laws aren't particularly dense on the Enlightenment Peak in the first level, so there's no need to choose a very good light spirit pearl. The number of light spirits you can choose from isn't very large. You can try fighting with the light spirits first. After all, not every light spirit is suitable for domestication. It still depends on fate."

"I understand." Chen Ye nodded.

At that moment, he arrived at the owner's stall and asked:
"Are there any Light Spirit Orbs for sale here?"

The stall owner immediately smiled, produced an amber-colored pearl from his hand, and said:

"This is exactly the kind of Light Spirit Orb you've been looking for!"

"Come on, let's choose."

"We have quite a few different grades of Light Spirit Orbs in our shop!"

"A low-level Light Spirit Orb is worth a thousand gold coins. That is, you can exchange a low-level Light Spirit Orb for a thousand gold coins. There is one of these in the internal space, and it can only capture one Light Spirit."

"But if it's a mid-level Light Spirit Orb, it costs three thousand gold coins and contains five spaces, allowing you to capture five Light Spirits."

"If you want to buy a high-grade Light Spirit Orb, you will need to pay five thousand gold coins, which contains ten spaces."

"Light Spirit Orbs are all man-made, not items born from heaven and earth, so their value is not very high. However, it should be noted that if a light spirit is too powerful, it may occupy multiple spaces within a high-level light spirit orb as its own territory, and it does not like to live with other light spirits."

Chen Ye nodded, clicking his tongue in amazement, "I didn't expect there to be so many intricacies involved!"

It's rather strange that the Light Spirits would try to take over living space.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Ye decided to spend three thousand gold coins to buy five slots of Light Spirit Orbs.

"Ten is too many, but if I only have one, I'm afraid I might encounter different Light Spirits and not have enough space to capture them. So let's buy a mid-level Light Spirit Orb first!"

Chen Yedao.

"Alright, that's three thousand gold coins in total, you can pay directly."

The stall owner immediately beamed with joy. After all, Chen Ye was willing to pay so many gold coins to buy items from his stall, which was a very good deal no matter what.

So, the stall owner was naturally very excited. After all, it was great to have such a big customer come and buy things.

After the purchase is completed.

Having reached a deal, Chen Ye immediately took the Light Spirit Pearl and began to sense it. The amber-colored Light Spirit Pearl instantly emitted a burst of amber-colored radiance, swirling around him, appearing dreamlike and dazzling.

A moment later, Chen Ye's mind was immersed inside the Light Spirit Pearl, and he immediately saw this world, with green grass and blue sky, which was just like a small world, with rich spiritual energy of laws flowing in it.

"It's hard to imagine how brilliant and vast the civilization of Sky City must be, to be able to create such a Light Spirit Orb."

Chen Ye took a deep breath and was immediately drawn to the Light Spirit Pearl. He sensed that the laws contained within the pearl were extremely powerful and difficult to forge.

Even if Tang Wu had developed to such a high level, the civilization of the Strange Era would not have been able to create the Light Spirit Orb. It has to be said that the level of civilization in the Spirit Realm is beyond my imagination. Compared with the world of the Strange Era, it has many more mysterious aspects and is completely different.

Therefore, Chen Ye knew that he would definitely need to hone his skills for a period of time before he could reach the level of being able to create Light Spirit Pearls.

"Even though the production of Light Spirit Pearls is already quite high, they must all be created by experts with considerable knowledge of the laws. The world inside is a unique paradise. Although it has the setting of an air wall and is not as big as imagined, it still takes considerable skill to create a space with the imprint of the laws."

Chen Ye had a relatively high opinion of the Light Spirit Orb.

After all, he had spent three thousand gold coins to buy this Light Spirit Orb.

just now.

Chen Ye's gold coins had returned to 118,000, his silver coins to 220,000, and his copper coins to 2 billion.

There is still a lot of room for maneuver.

Since topping the asset value rankings last month, Chen Ye knows that his asset value is now incredibly high, and reaching this level is quite impressive.

The specific methods for climbing this month's rankings will depend on the level of achievement gained in the upcoming trials.

"Young friend, you've come to Enlightenment Peak to capture Light Spirits, right? I have a compass here specifically for sensing Light Spirits; would you like to purchase it?"

The stall owner took out a compass, placed it in front of Chen Ye, and smiled, saying, "You don't know, this compass of mine is called the Light Spirit Compass. It can automatically detect the location of a Light Spirit based on the fluctuations of its spiritual power. It's very high-end and is specially designed for those who want to capture Light Spirits in the wild."

Chen Ye was somewhat concerned; how could someone possess the Light Spirit Compass?

This thing must be quite novel!
But at that moment, Wan Yi immediately came to Chen Ye's side and waved his hand, saying:

"The Light Spirit Compass can only sense a general, vague direction. Not only is it useless, but it is also extremely expensive. Try not to buy it."

"Is that so?" Chen Ye asked. "How many gold coins does this Light Spirit Compass cost?"

"Oh dear, sir, it's not actually that expensive, just a thousand gold coins will do!"

Seeing Wan Yi's attitude, the stall owner immediately looked guilty and said, "It definitely won't be very expensive!"

Upon hearing the price, Wan Yi's brows finally relaxed, and he said:
“A thousand gold coins for such an item is not unacceptable, but you'd better think it over carefully. With our perception abilities, we can sense the presence of the Light Spirit from a great distance. This compass's perception ability may not be as strong as yours, but a thousand gold coins is indeed not expensive.”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ye decided to give up on the Light Spirit Compass: "Let's just forget about it. Since I can already sense the location of the Light Spirit myself, this compass is ultimately just an external force with limited uses. A thousand gold coins is not a small amount."

"Yes!"

Wan Yi nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "Gold coins are still very hard to earn. Every time I spend gold coins, I have to think carefully about whether the money is worth it."

"That's true."

Chen Ye smiled and nodded, acknowledging Wan Yi's attitude.

Even a thousand gold coins cannot be used casually.

The group passed the stall owner and began their ascent towards the Enlightenment Peak of the sacred mountain.

On the first step.

Chen Ye felt a certain amount of pressure from the laws pressing down on him. Although he could withstand this pressure, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"I'd better not activate the Crimson Sun Dharma Form too quickly. After all, it would be too boring to use a Dharma Form to resist the pressure of the laws. I need to train my own spirituality first."

Chen Ye knew that he could use his spirituality to resist the pressure of the laws. Each suppression would allow his spirituality to be further refined and become purer.

Seeing Chen Ye's actions, Wan Yi and the others all showed expressions of relief:
"No wonder this guy is progressing so fast; he's constantly cultivating!"

Indeed, for Chen Ye, this method is also a form of cultivation.

It can temper one's spiritual resilience.

When such trials are conducted for a period of time, they will naturally yield significant results.

While bearing the pressure of the laws, Chen Ye was also constantly reflecting on his own laws, trying to see what room for improvement he could have in order to reach a more powerful level.

Continuous progress, continuous refinement, and constant growth into greater strength...

Chen Ye's journey continues.

"Ten thousand steps, and climbing further up, the pressure from the laws is indeed quite challenging. If I were to use the Crimson Sun Dharma Form to cross these thresholds of Enlightenment Peak, it wouldn't be difficult, but that would be too boring."

Chen Ye began to perceive the laws of Enlightenment Peak, which was quite good, and the mountain climbing activity was also very interesting.

Wudao Peak is surrounded by strangely shaped rocks.

There are also many ancient trees whose names I don't know, winding through the area, with beautiful scenery all around.

It's clear that this is a beautiful and magnificent land.

Between the two peaks of Wudao Peak, there is a clear waterfall cascading down.

It is said that drinking this water will reveal the laws governing its properties.

Although the effect is still somewhat different compared to the Great Dao Water, it is still well worth trying.

Chen Ye activated his spiritual senses, sensing his surroundings to see if there were any traces of light spirits. (End of Chapter)
