Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 96 Purple Stone
  Followers of the Lost Lord!
  Byrne is glad that he is nearly thirty years old. If he were a few years ago, he would probably be shaking with fear.

He is calm enough now. He was shocked when he heard "Believer of the Lost Lord", but he still remained calm and listened silently.

"There is no information about them. In the past ten years, many people have come to the four eastern countries of the mainland to search. However, no clues about the 'Lost Lord' have been found at all."

The person who answered her was a "time-condensing stone", and the person's voice was that of an old man.

"Time Stone" looks tall and thin, wearing a gray robe, and his voice is full of wisdom brought by experience.

After saying that, the "Time Condensing Stone" said with great confusion: "It's very strange. According to logical inference, this 'Lost Lord' who is highly valued by the righteous god must be an extremely powerful evil god, and his followers should be extremely numerous. More is the right thing.”

"However, it is really incredible that His followers can keep it secret to this extent. There has been no news for more than ten years."

It seems that the principles of the Fisher family are extremely correct, and caution and confidentiality are the most important. Byrne silently thought about one thing, why on earth the Lost Lord was targeted by the Orthodox Church.

He couldn't understand the reason at all. He could only attribute it to the great power of the gods. They knew the existence of the Lost Lord through some unimaginable method and locked their position in the east of the continent.

Best, codenamed "Dragon Crystal", interrupted and said:
  "There may be some extraordinary way to ensure that the secrets of the believers will not be leaked. For example, betrayers will be given death the moment they want to betray."

Byrne glanced at Viscount Best with a smile. If he hadn't known that the other party was just guessing, he would have even thought he was exposed.

"I didn't notice their existence either, and I agree with Long Jing's speculation."

"Sun Gold" also shook his head.

Byrne has noticed that the only person who has not spoken in the meeting is "Lingsu".

It seemed to be a short woman. Although she had not spoken from the beginning, her position in the Alchemy Council was second only to "Sun Gold", and Byrne did not dare to ignore her presence.

"It's so weird."

"Star Iron" shook his head and continued: "In short, I hope to get information about the followers of the Lost Lord. When the time comes, I am willing to exchange for it with level four extraordinary materials."

Level four extraordinary materials are important items that cannot be bought on the black market.

If a transcendent who has reached the mid-level of metamorphosis wants to go further, or if a transcendent who has reached the upper level of metamorphosis wants to make his bloodline stronger, he will need fourth-level transcendent materials.

Or perhaps some extremely powerful spells require the consumption of fourth-level extraordinary materials in order to cast them.

For the Fisher family, even level three extraordinary materials are extremely important. They don’t even know where to find level four extraordinary materials!
  Byrne wished he could sell himself on the spot, but he could only remain silent and silent.

Because no one had any information about the followers of the Lost Lord, this topic could only be discussed in the end.

"Sun Gold", who was quite tall and had a rich voice, said to everyone again:
  "The people of Lorne have gained some crucial forbidden knowledge in the spirit world. Although it is not clear what it is exactly, it is likely to change the structure of the existing world."

"I have obtained some information about the spiritual world. If you can pay a hundred gold, I will tell you."

Byrne knew that the Fisher family really had no money, so he shook his head.

"Sorry, I'm not part of this deal."

Best chuckled and said casually: "Mr. Sunjin, please describe the specific type of information first, and then we will be willing to spend money."

"Sun Gold" paused and continued: "About the names of various vortexes, or spiritual doors."

Huh?
  Byrne was surprised to find that the important knowledge mentioned by "Sun Gold" was actually the mysterious knowledge that the Fisher family had long ago obtained from the Lost Lord.

What surprised him even more was that everyone present except himself was moved.

Except for the president who remained silent, everyone in the Alchemy Council expressed their willingness to exchange money for the true name of the spiritual door.

Byrne quickly understood the all-important reason for the trade.

The true names of mysterious things are often closely related to their actual effects, and as long as they know the true names of the spiritual gatekeepers, it will be much easier for them to explore the spiritual world.

He was acutely aware of an important intelligence advantage held by the Fisher family.

Because they have the knowledge of the spiritual world given by the Lost Lord, for the Fisher family, roaming the spiritual world is equivalent to carrying a guide book into it.

For other extraordinary beings, every step of exploring the spiritual world is full of unknowns and mysteries, almost every moment is an unsettling time, and every decision is filled with tension and fear.

"Okay, the deal is established."

"Sun Gold" clapped his hands gently, and pieces of golden paper appeared in the air without any warning, automatically flying to all the people who invested money to purchase the true name of the spiritual door.

After everyone got the piece of paper given by "Sun Gold", they also saw the true names of the thirteen spiritual doors.

The gate of shadow, the gate of conquest, the gate of knowledge, the gate of divine sacrifice...

Viscount Best narrowed his eyes and began to think. He was very interested in the "Gateway of Revelation" and "Gateway of Knowledge".

Byrne did not get the paper with the real names of the spiritual doors written on them, but he could guess what the names written on it were, which were the thirteen spiritual doors corresponding to the thirteen steps to ascend to the gods. "Okay, that's it."

Suddenly the president sitting at the head spoke, and his emotionless voice really made Byrne a little uncomfortable, and he even subconsciously doubted whether the president was really a human being.

"Alchemy is the greatest magic among all types of magic. Sooner or later, it will completely change the continent of Oden and even the world of Krad."

"Originally, my alchemy skills have reached a bottleneck. Fortunately, the forbidden knowledge in the spiritual world has given me a new way of thinking."

After the president finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and purple-red stones appeared out of thin air and landed in front of everyone present.

Although he didn't understand what it was, Byrne could detect magic and spiritual power from the purple-red stone!
  It seems to be a mysterious object, but it is also similar to an alchemy tool.

Or, it is both a mysterious object and an alchemy tool!

There was absolutely no such thing in the world before. Alchemy tools only contained magic power, but no spiritual power.

At that time, people in the world of Krad had almost no knowledge of souls and spiritual power, and only a few necromancers had delved into the most superficial knowledge.

However, the emergence of the spiritual world has brought a lot of new knowledge into the world, and various new magic applications have also been expanded. For example, alchemy has achieved new breakthroughs in more than ten years.

The president continued.

"I created this new substance through the forbidden knowledge given by the spiritual world. As an alchemy tool, it has special properties similar to mysterious objects. Well, the spiritual power contained in it is probably the level of a collection."

Sure enough, Byrne thought to himself, the purple-red mysterious stone placed in front of him was a new product created by alchemy through the forbidden knowledge of the spiritual world.

The president continued to introduce before he finished speaking, his voice neither sad nor happy.

"Although the spiritual power it contains is only at the level of a collection, it is a one-time consumable. The ultimate power it can erupt through resonance with emotional power is comparable to the top treasure-level wonders."

The most top-notch treasure-level rare item!

After hearing this, Byrne was filled with great surprise. Top-notch treasure-level objects cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins.

Although this purple-red stone only has a one-time effect, it is also valuable.

However, the president couldn't help but sigh, and obvious regret finally appeared in his originally emotionless voice.

"Unfortunately, it is still a fake, and it is still far from the 'truth' I want to get."

"Reject it, or pay the price you want to pay."

Sure enough, the purple-red stone is not something that is given away for free, but requires people to pay a corresponding price.

Byrne decided not to answer for now, to see what price other members of the Alchemy Council would pay.

"Sun Gold" first took out a copy of the "purest pitch black" brought from the lightless sea. That mysterious substance was placed in a pitch black flask, and no color other than black could be seen in it.

"Lingsu" took out a meteorite fragment that was constantly emitting starlight. It was collected from falling meteors.

"I pay for three months to live."

The person who is willing to pay his lifespan in exchange for the purple stone is the "Star Iron" who is looking for the followers of the Lost Lord.

Soon everyone on the Alchemy Council paid their price, and when it was Viscount Best's turn, he spoke respectfully.

"I am willing to exchange it for an extremely important piece of information. President, the thing you have been looking for more than ten years ago is very likely to be in the hands of the Poseidon Order."

"can."

The president nodded and said calmly:

"Any one of you who finds the diamond-shaped fragment that emits the sun's rays, I will grant him one wish."

Byrne silently noted the "diamond-shaped fragment of the sun's rays", if only the Fisher family could actually encounter it.

In the end, it was Byrne's turn to pay the price.

The Fisher family's background is almost non-existent when it comes to transactions of this level.

After thinking about it, the only thing he could come up with was life span and various information about the spiritual world.

But if the Viscount asked him how he obtained the information about the spirit world when he left, Byrne would have no way to answer.

Viscount Best said that fighting was not allowed in the Alchemy Council, and the president would not care about what happened after leaving.

He originally wanted to refuse to take away the purple-red stone, but thinking about the dangers his family was about to face, he didn't want to give up this powerful trump card at all.
